A new sense of controlled power coursed through his veins and Sam felt unstoppable. To hell with family support, he was going to stop this thing. Before they even got through the doorway he'd sensed the weaker demons in the convent and killed them simultaneously without even having to look at him. Ruby had been right, he needed the extra blood. The extermination hadn't even weakened him.
At the end of the hall of now dead demons Sam saw Lilith preparing a ceremony. She saw them coming and raised her hand to shut the doors. Was she serious? Sam threw the doors open again and thrust Lilith back against the stone altar at the same time. Who did she think she was dealing with?
Lilith tried to pick herself up, only to be held against her will on the cold stone. Sam didn't even hear the doors shut behind him, he could only focus on his hatred.
"I've been waiting for this, for a very long time." He wondered if he had time to torture her slowly, if he had the strength to do it.
She glared at him. "Then give me your best shot."
He held his hand up and focused, for the first time she reacted. Lilith's body filled with light and her eyes with fire. Her quiet cries were satisfying but they couldn't drown out the faint yelling in the background. His name?
"Sam!" Dean yelled from the other side of the door. "Sammy!"
"Dean?" He looked towards the door.
"Now! Do it now damn it!" Ruby was screaming at him.
Everything blurred together for a moment; Dean and Kayla's muffled yells, Ruby screaming at him, Lilith laughing…wait. Lilith was laughing? He turned to her.
"You turned yourself into a freak." She laughed. "A monster, and now you're not gonna bite. I'm sorry, but that is honestly adorable."
Monster.
Sam's eyes turned black as his rage overtook him. As his hand raised so did the light in Lilith's body. It was hard to keep the strength but after a few ragged pants, Lilith fell lifeless to the floor.
Satisfaction. Though he would have preferred her screaming and begging.
Lilith's blood flowed from her like it had a life of it's own, like it was following a path along the old stones.
"What the hell?" He watched it stream along the floor.
"I can't believe it." Ruby breathed.
"Ruby, what's going on?"
"You did it." She sighed. "I mean, it was a little touch and go there for awhile, but you did it."
This wasn't right. "What? What did I do?"
"You opened the door. And now he's free at last. He's free at last." She was still in awe.
No no no. "No. I stopped her, I killed her!"
"And it is written that the first demon shall be the last seal, and you bust her open." She smiled. "And guess who's coming to dinner?"
Sam was breathless, he was in shock. "Oh my God."
"Guess again."
"It's quiet Dean, we're too late." Kayla paced behind them as they worked on the door.
"We still gotta get in there."
Sam could barely hear the pounding behind him over the pounding in his head. This was all his fault.
"You don't even know how hard this was. All the demons out for my head, no one knew. I was the best of those sons of bitches! The most loyal! Not even Alastair knew, only Lilith! Yeah I'm sure you're a little angry right now but I mean, come on Sam! Even you have to admit I'm, I'm awesome!"
"You bitch. You lying, bitch!" Dean was right, Dean was right about everything. He tried to toast her but it made his head ache and knocked him off balance. Oh God, what had he done?
"Don't hurt yourself Sammy, it's useless. You shot your payload on the boss."
"The blood, you poisoned me."
"No, it wasn't the blood. It was you and your choices. I just gave you the options and you chose the right path every time. You didn't need the feather to fly, you had it in you the whole time Dumbo. I know it's hard to see it now," she kneeled next to him. "But this is a miracle. Everything Azazel and Lilith did just to get you here. And you were the only one who could do it."
This couldn't be happening. "Why? Why me?"
Kayla can you hear me?
Kayla barely made out her name through the noise and she plugged her ears and tried to focus.
Sam?
Tell him I'm sorry, oh God I'm sorry.
It's okay Sam, it'll be okay.
"Because. It had to be you Sam, it always had to be you. You saved us, you set him free and he's gonna be grateful. He's gonna repay you in ways that you can't even imagine."
Dean and Dominic finally took the door down.
Ruby straightened up triumphantly. "You're too late."
"I don't care."
Sam was out of it, but not enough to keep from holding Ruby still while Dean drove that dagger into her. It's the least I can do bitch, send you back before the big show.
"You son of a bitch!" Dominic screamed at him. "Do you know what you've done?! Do you know what this means?!"
Sam looked at Dean, who seemed just as angry. He didn't know what to say at this point. "I'm sorry."
Light streamed up from the blood pooled on the floor and Dean grabbed his brother by the arm. "We have to go."
"There's no time." Dominic told them, sounding panicked himself. "I can't…" he looked at them. "I can't save you from him, I'm sorry." He looked absolutely terrified for someone about to see their own father. Dominic took a knee, almost like he was bowing, preparing to serve.
Dean slid his hand over Kayla and squeezed down tightly, he couldn't stop her from shaking. "It's okay." He whispered as they stared into the gateway to hell.
