Chapter 6: Trouble:
"Ok, I think you're ready-" Ruby smiled a viper's smile.
"Good."
Ruby led Sam two pairs of feet crunching over broken glass and empty bags. Smoke covered the night sky. Should he be afraid that Ruby's walk had become so familiar?
Ruby opened a heavy metal door one-handed.
"After you, princess."
Sam didn't dignify that with a response. He walked into the building, squinting in the dim light. Sam could already smell the sulfur.
"How many?"
"Just one-all wrapped up in a bow."
It was. When they reached it, it was tied to a chair. It sneered when it saw their approach. It opened its mouth to insult them, but Ruby cuffed him harshly.
"Lets see what ya' got." Ruby gave a feral grin to the tied up demon. "Just concentrate Sam, and it'll work itself out."
Trust Ruby to be vague; Sam closed his eyes and focused his attention on the demon. The demon blood that mingled within his body was thrumming with power, like a great engine warming up. It seemed to sense the blood inside the demon, call to it and know that they shared something, but he stronger.
Ruby's blood had intertwined with his own, strengthening it and making the rest of him boil. Sam shut his eyes even tighter in intense concentration, trying to sift through the body, to get to the demon inside. He felt something inside him fighting the demon; Sam could picture himself wrestling with the demon.
His skull burned as his brain bounced around inside. His nose began to bleed, and he almost wanted to stop as he swayed on his feet. Instead, he stood tall and pushed harder. Sam heard a strange choking noise, and he slowly opened his eyes and saw the thick, black smoke sluggishly pouring out of the possessed man's mouth.
The man's eyes were rolling around his head like demented marbles, and and veins jumped out in agony. Sam felt his own veins twitch in desire. The demon finally slipped out and was sucked down to the floor and back to Hell. The man's scream finally ended on a raspy note.
"Well, not bad Magnum." Ruby quipped.
"Is he still alive?" Sam gasped.
Now that he was finished with the demon, Sam was exhausted and shaking. Ruby pointed looked at the devil's trap, and Sam scraped away at the darkened lines, breaking it. Ruby leaned down to the tied up man.
"No dice."
Sam flinched, a lead weight beginning to settle in his stomach. Ruby noticed his expression.
"Oh don't get your panties in a twist, its not like you can save them all."
She walked over to him, pressing herself against him. He could smell the sulfer in her hair.
"Well, practice makes perfect. Just be patient."
As they walked out of the building, Ruby pulled out her knife. Sam stared at the glinting silver, and she offered him her bleeding arm.
"See. Practice."
