Dean woke up in the motel room. He sat up flinging his jacket off of him. He turned and saw Castiel standing over by the other bed. He looked around the room but Kat and Sam weren't around and the shower wasn't running. He ran a hand though his hair and tried to forget what he had seen. Mary had made a deal with Azazel and that was why the demon had showed up in Sam's nursery ten years later. Dean couldn't believe it. His mother had let the demon into their home and it had killed her. He looked at Castiel.
"I didn't change anything, did I? She still died in that nursery," Dean answered softly.
"It's alright, Dean, you were never supposed to change it. You were just meant to see why all this happened," Castiel answered looking at Dean.
"So, you basically just lied to me that I could stop it when I couldn't?"
Dean got up from the bed and really thought about pounding the crap out of Castiel. Dean had stood back and watched as his mother had to choose to save her father or John. He had learned that the reason that Azazel had been in Sammy's nursery was because Mary had let him come in. No matter what he had told Mary it didn't change anything. Castiel had lied to him and Dean had been though hell trying to change something that ultimately would never change.
"I was destiny, Dean, and destiny cannot be changed. I wish it could but it can't. And you needed to see it so that you know what Sam can become."
Dean grabbed his coat and looked at Castiel. He saw the way that the angel was avoiding his glaze and Dean knew that something was up.
"What are you talking about?" Dean demanded.
"You need to stop him, Dean. Katerina is trying but in the end it has to be you who stops Sam. He is going down a dangerous road and he needs you to stop him. If you don't, we will."
Castiel touched Dean on the forehead sending him to the warehouse where Kat and Sam were. Castiel sighed and really hoped that Kat knew what she was doing. He knew that this would not end well and instead of it stopping Sam from using his powers it might push him towards it more. Castiel disappeared and decided that the Winchester family needed to work this out on their own.
Kat looked at Sam and wondered if she could really do this to him. She then heard Ruby struggling to be free and Kat knew she had too. Sam wouldn't listen to her or Dean so it had come down to this. She felt to cool steel of her knife as she walked closer to him. She looked down at his feet feeling tears come to her eyes. She told herself she was doing this for Dean and Addie. Dean needed his brother and Adora needed her uncle. Her daughter had a right to get to know Sam and love him. And Dean had literally gone to Hell for Sam; he deserved to have that time back that he had lost with his brother.
"Kat, I am-," Sam started.
"Stop, Sam. You... God, I don't want to admit this but you were right. I was pushing you away. I... I have been pushing you away all along," Kat answered taking a slow breath.
Sam raised an eyebrow when Kat ran a finger down his chest and stomach. He looked up and met her eyes and took a step back. He could have sworn that he saw fire in her grey eyes. He looked again but it was gone. He leaned against the wall when Kat pushed her body against his. Her chest pressed against his and he was pretty sure that that was the moment his heart started to beat faster. She leaned in closer and he felt her breath against his chin.
"Katerina, what... What are you doing?" he asked taking deep breaths and telling himself not to get flustered. He tried to remind himself that this was his brother's fiancée. Dean would literally kill him for just thinking the thoughts he was now about Kat.
"What I should have done from the moment you kissed me."
Kat leaned in closer and kissed Sam hard on the mouth. She ran her hands down his chest unsnapping the buttons on his shirt as she went. She brushed her fingers along his bare chest and felt him wrap his arms around her waist. She kissed him deeper praying that he was too caught up in the moment to realize what she was doing. She slowly reached one hand behind her and pulled out her switch blade. She flicked it open and let Sam's tongue enter her mouth. She closed her eyes tight and willed herself not to cry or think about Dean. She had a mission to finish. She opened her eyes and pulled her mouth away from Sam's to kiss down his neck. She glanced down and quickly sliced her other hand. She then pulled away from Sam and smiled at him sadly.
"Forgive me," she whispered.
"Kat, what-," Sam was cut off by Kat slicing a long cut on his chest. She then placed her hand on the cut and their blood flowed together. She yanked him close and kissed him hard again. Sam heard Ruby struggling more but in the moment he was caught up in Kat.
Dean stood there shocked at what he was seeing. From his spot outside the window, he had a perfect view of his fiancée, the mother of his little girl, kissing his brother. He felt hurt, betrayed and angry. He turned his back against the image and leaned against the window. He just stood there staring into the dark of the night.
He tried to stop his mind from wondering to thoughts about what had happened between Sam and Kat when he had been in Hell. He tried to stop his mind from going there but he couldn't. He had wanted so badly to trust Kat and to love her again. Especially now that they had Adora. He wanted his daughter to grow up with both her parents. He wanted better for Addie then he had had and now he knew that she would never get it. He knew that he would never be able to trust his brother and Kat again. His heart ached at the mere thought of having to live without her again.
He ran a hand over his face and shook his head. He needed to go in there and confront them. He couldn't just walk away and pretend that he never saw anything. He started to walk towards the doors and thought about every moment he had spent with Kat. He had loved her and needed her so much. He still did; he really didn't think that he could actually walk away from her. She had showed him that he could love and that it was alright to need someone. He snorted; yeah turned out she was playing him. He told himself to harden his heart towards her. He wouldn't give her another chance to hurt him.
Kat felt her blood burn with Sam's. She pulled away from the kiss and rested her forehead against his. She let her tears fall. It was now or never. She needed to finish the binding spell.
"Ego redimio vos ex causa vulnero ut vestri quod alius per vestri vox," she whispered.
She winced as a bright light shone from their blood. She sighed when the light disappeared and pulled away from Sam. She wiped her hand on her jeans wincing as it stung. She didn't dare look up at Sam because she knew that at the moment he was still in shock but he was going to put the pieces together and when he did he would feel used.
Sam stood there shocked and dazed. He then replayed the words that Kat had said in his head. He looked up at her and saw how pale she was. But most of all he noticed how she wasn't meeting his eyes. He went over and grabbed her by the arms. She looked up at him and he was shocked to see how dull her eyes were. He loosened his grip on her but still held her tight.
"What did you do?" he demanded.
"I binded your powers. No amount of demon blood is going to help, Sam. I binded them and you can't use them," she answered her voice soft.
Kat let her body fall to the floor when Sam let her go. She heard Ruby fall to the floor as well as she let go of her hold on her. Kat felt light headed and knew there was a damn good chance she was going to pass out. She turned when she heard the door to the warehouse open. She swore when she saw Dean walk into the warehouse. She tried to stand up but was just so weak. She watched as Sam turned and saw Dean as well. God, she would give anything not to have to sit here and watch the family she loved fall apart.
"So, I guess I was right all along. You both have been sneaking around behind my back," Dean said.
"No, we haven't," Sam said.
"I bound his powers," Kat answered looking up at Dean her eyes filling with tears as she saw the look he gave her. She knew she would never be able to fix this. She had broken his heart and he wouldn't give her a second chance.
"You bound his powers. So, Sammy, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Why don't you take your bitch and just leave?" Ruby asked letting her anger show. She couldn't believe that after all the work she had put into Sam using his powers that in a matter of moments, Kat had erased it all. She was going to have to work three times as hard now to get everything back on track.
Dean looked at the brunette. He saw the way Sam was shielding her from him and he swore. He suddenly knew who that was. And he also knew why Sam had been using his powers. That brunette had to be Ruby. Ruby had been the one who had always told Sam that he had something in him that he could use. She must have finally gotten in after Dean had gone to Hell. He looked at Sam and shook his head.
"Ruby, Sam? You're trusting demons now?" he asked.
"Dean, please. We can talk about this later."
"I just can't... I can't believe that everyone I loved has decided to screw me over."
"Dean," Kat pleaded. She watched as Dean shook his head and just walked out of the warehouse. She let more tears fall.
Sam looked at Kat and sighed. He went over to her and kneeled down in front of her. She wouldn't face him. He reached out to touch her but she pulled away. She looked up at him and shook her head.
"I knew this would happen but I risked everything to help you. Listen to me, Sam, don't trust Ruby. Stop talking to her and walk away. She doesn't care about you. She is just using you," Kat said praying and hoping that Sam would listen to her this time. She had used all her powers on the binding spell and her body was exhausted. It would be awhile before she work up that much power again to be able to wipe Ruby off the face of the planet.
"I don't want to talk about this now. Let's get you back to the motel," Sam said helping her to her feet. She pulled away again.
"I can get back on my own. Just... Please listen to me this time."
Sam watched as Kat gave him one last look before she walked out of the warehouse. He turned and looked at Ruby. Ruby gave him a look and Sam wondered if maybe Kat didn't have a point. Ever since he had let Ruby come into his life again and he had started listening to her, things had gone to Hell fast. He walked over to the teenage girl that was still passed out and picked her up in his arms. He looked at Ruby.
"Let's get her to a hospital," he said walking out of the warehouse.
Kat walked into the motel room. She looked around and saw that Dean wasn't there. She walked over to her bags and grabbed them. She turned to leave but stopped. She couldn't just leave without saying goodbye. She dropped one of her bags and leaned against the wall. She pulled out her cell phone. She flipped it open and dialled Dean's number. She closed her eyes and let more tears fall. She listened as it rang and rang. Then Dean's voice mail came on. She let more tears fall knowing that he didn't want to talk to her.
"Dean, it's Kat, I... I think it would be better if I left. I am going to go to Bobby's for awhile and then maybe... Maybe somewhere else. I won't keep you from seeing Adora. I would never do that but... I know that you don't want to see me anymore and that's alright. Please, don't blame Sam. This is my fault. I... Goodbye, Dean," she said flipping her phone closed.
She stayed against the wall crying. She didn't know if she could move or not. Her body was so tired and she didn't want to leave Dean. She loved him so much she didn't want to be alone in this world without him. She closed her eyes and took a slow deep breath. She knew that she needed to leave. She loved Dean but right now he didn't want anything to do with her. It would be better to just leave then to stay and have Addie exposed to all that fighting. She pulled herself away from the wall and picked up her other bag. She walked to the door and pulled it open and walked out. She tried to tell herself that she was doing the right thing but it just felt so wrong.
Dean flipped his phone closed after he had listened to Kat's message. He leaned against the impala and stared at his phone. He stared at it wanting to call her back and ask her not to leave. He wanted her and Addie in his. He needed them in his life. He shoved his phone in his pocket though and started out as the sun slowly rose. He felt tears falling but did nothing to stop them. He knew that having Kat away from him was better right now. It would keep Addie and her safe. Dean didn't know if he could hunt and live hsi life without but he was going to have to try. He loved her but being with her had proven to be too hard and painful. Letting her walk away was better. This way neither of them would hurt the other. Even if knowing that she would be gone tore at his heart, he had to let her go.
