Dean persisted "You got to do better than that. Hey, and I'm not trying to pick a fight here. I mean, I really want to understand. But I need to know more. I mean, I deserve to know more."

" Because... she saved my life."

Six Months Earlier

Sam enters his motel room, blundering drunkenly to his bed is attacked suddenly by a short man and a tall woman with blonde hair. Sam, held back by the man,is bucking in his grip while the woman takes the knife from Sam's waist band"

"Thanks for keeping this warm for me, Sam." She pants out.
Sam's body stiffens as he grunts out Her name."Ruby."

Ruby grins "Ding ding ding, Sammy it's nice to be back. Where I was, even for Hell, it was nasty." Ruby hissed."I guess I really pissed Lilith off. Imagine my relief when she gave me one last chance to take it topside. And all I had to do was find you and kill you."

Sam is huffing bitterly, he shoves the man's hand off his torso, and holds his neck out as a silent 'fucking do it". Following this action Sam yells "Fine. Go ahead! Do it."
Ruby stands still for a beat of silence, and quickly swings her knife, hitting the demon behind Sam.
With a panicked look Ruby shouts at a shocked Sam "Grab your keys! We got to go. Now!


"You know what sounds good? French fries. I'm starving. I just escaped Hell. I deserve a treat. You know, a thank you would be nice." Ruby speaks sarcastically from the passenger seat of the impala

Sam bitterly said "Who asked for your help? I was fine!"

Ruby glared at him,turning fully in her seat "You have no idea what I've been through. When Lilith gets pissed, she gets creative. You want to hear about the corners of Hell I've seen, Sam?"

"No, I don't."

"And the things I had to do to convince her I was sorry? That I could be trusted?"

"Well, this'll definitely get you a fat Christmas bonus."

"Very funny. I'm a fugitive... For you, Sam. I took all of this risk to get back to you, so, yeah, I deserve a damn "thank you."

Silence took over the car for a short time.

"Who asked you to save me?"

Ruby sat back in here seat "I'm just trying to help, Sam"

Silence

"Can you help me save Dean?"

The blonde bombshell let out an irritated sigh "No. Nothing I know of is powerful enough to do that, Sam."
The car comes to a quick halt, Sam turned in his seat, facing Ruby. "Then I have no use for you"
Ruby, looking over at the only brother with great annoyance."What?

"Get out."
"Sam"

Sam let out a harsh breath before sharply asking "Whose body are you riding, Ruby?" "What do you care? You've never asked me that before." Sam snorted before staring her down "I'm asking now." Ruby reluctantly answers"Some secretary." "Let her go." Sam says with a strong voice "Sam..." Ruby sigh exasperatedly
"Or I send you right back to Hell." Sam grounds out.

A woman lies in coma on an hospital bed with the name "Doe, Jane" on it. "All right, pull it." Commands the man who could only be a doctor. The machine begins to beep as the woman dies, but she sits up as she is possessed. "Who do I have to kill to get some French fries around here?" the woman- no, Ruby asks with a wicked grin.

Sam is cleaning a gun. Someone knocks on the door, he grabs a shotgun and opens the door, show casing Ruby possessing the coma girl. She holds up a piece of paper. Ruby smugly hands Sam the paper"Proof. This body is 100% socially conscious. I recycle. Al Gore would be proud."

Reading over the note given to him, Sam asked, with a bit of disbelief "You grabbed a coma patient?" Ruby looks at Sam a bit confused and obviously annoyed."You didn't want me to take a body with someone in it, and I made sure that the spirit was gone. Apartment was empty. You happy?"

Sam mumbles "Why are you here?" Ruby looks a Sam as if the answer is obvious before speaking "I can't bring Dean back. But I can get you something else that you want."
"And, uh... what's that?" Sam says, obviously not believing her.

"Lilith."
"You want me to use my psychic whatever." "Look, I know that it spooks you -" Sam cuts Ruby off "Skip the speech. I'm ready. Let's go."

"Slow down there, cowboy." Ruby says smugly "Just tell me what I have to do." "Look, Lilith is one scary bitch. When I was in the Pit, there was talk. She's cooking up something big - apocalyptic big."

Nonchalantly, Sam says "So let's kill her." Ruby practically chokes on air "You want to go in there and half-ass it like before? We have the time to get it right. Let's get it right.""Okay." Sam continues " What do you want from me?" Ruby pretends to think, placing open palm on her cheek. "Well, a little patience... and sobriety. Promise me that... and I will teach you everything I know."


Damalis cut the story off, with a bitter expression, filled with disbelief.
"Not trying to sound, like, petty or anything, but, Ruby stabbed me. She stabbed me right in the stomach. I totally get that she's a demon, but like, come the fuck on!"

Dean immediately gave a sharp look at Sam, while pointing back at the angel.

"Sam, I don't trust that winged douche bag, but I don't trust Ruby more. She stabbed her, as far as i'm concerned Ruby attacked an ally. That's not what you do when you're trying to help!"

Sam gave a puppy look at dean before narrowing his eyes. " Well, maybe Ruby knows something we don't, I mean that demon in there, he knew Damalis."

Standing up angrily, the short women glared at Sam " Are we gonna forget the fact that said demon also knew Dean? We just met, the only reason i'm here and not staying low- like i've been doing for centuries mind you! Is because I wanted to protect someone i've watched over since she was young! I don't ask to partake in the nitty gritty personal shit fest that is your life, yet you feel you have the right to accuse me, to-to have me read my biography to you, when you probably wouldn't even tell me your birthday? That's the classic 'Winchester hypocrisy'!"

Silence

Dean let out a gruff sigh

Sam stared her down

"You're right"

"Damn right I am Winchester."

"So?" Dean cut off, with a glare at the angel " What'd she teach you?" he demanded, desperate to change the topic.

Sam sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, the first thing I learned... I'm a crappy student."


Sam is trying to exorcise a demon tied to a chair in a devil's trap, but can't. Some black smoke comes out of the demon's mouth, but it snakes its way back down the man's throat. Sam holds his head in pain, his nose beginning the the demon begins to laugh, Ruby glares at the demon before stabbing him with her knife.

"Not funny." Ruby hisses before twisting her body to face Sam "Just give it time, Sam. It'll get better." "What? I need more practice?" Sam says, sounding like an annoying child. Ruby sighed "I'm not talking about pulling demons. I know losing Dean was -"

Sam instantly cut her off " Hey! I don't want to talk about it. You know what? Where do you get off slapping me with that greeting-card, time-heals crap? What the hell do you know?" Ruby snapped, having had enough of his bullshit
"I used to be human. And I still remember what it feels like to lose someone. I'm sorry." Ruby puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Uhn-huh. Don't. I can't." Sam says reluctantly pulling away from her. The ever persistent Ruby closes the gap between them "Sam, you're not alone."

Ruby kisses Sam. He stands up and walks away from her. "What are you doing?" Sam shouts walking farther from her. "Sam, it's okay!" She closes the gap once more, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"No, that is anything but okay!" Sam says, staring down at her, wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

"What's wrong?" "What's wrong? Where do I start?"

"Is it because of the body? Because I told you - it's all me inside of here. There is no one else. And it's nice inside this body, Sam. Soft and warm."

"What are you doing?" Sam whispers "Isn't it 'cause you're really scared to go there with a demon? Because it's wrong and it's bad and we shouldn't?"

Sam grabs her roughly by the ass and yanks her up as she starts kissing him. It's going to be a long night.


"Sam?" Dean chokes out looking towards an extremely flustered Damalis.

"Yeah?"

"Too much information."

"Hey, I told you I was coming clean."
"Maybe coulda warned me about that, I gladly would have left you to your, uh, Demon sex fantasies." Damalis mumbled from the bed

"Yeah" Dean agreed "Now I feel dirty." He said, faking a shiver. "Okay, well, uh, brain-stabbing imagery aside... So far, all you've told me about is a manipulative bitch who, uh, screwed you, played mind games with you, and did everything in the book to get you to go bad."

"Yeah, well, there's more to the story." Sam said defensively.
"Just... skip the nudity, please."Dean ordered

"Yes please, do that. Are we sure I can't just, leave? I mean, this sounds, uh, oddly personal." Damalis spoke up

The irritated look from Dean dictated the answer to that.
Sam continued, sending an apologetic look towards the short cupid."Pretty soon after... that, um... I put together some signs... Omens."

Dean raised a brow "Saying what?" "Lilith was in town. And I wanted to strike her first." Sam said looking up at Dean"


Five Months Earlier
"You're not ready yet." A worried Ruby spoke "It's now or never." Sam grunted out."No, we got to wait until you get it right. You haven't been too successful."Ruby growled out. "All right, I'll use this." Sam grumbles.

Ruby lets out a bitter sigh "Stop. You can't just fly in there reckless, Sam. We need you to take the bitch out." Sam let out a sarcastic laugh "Oh, I'll take her out all right." Ruby let out a frustrated growl "You get one shot, and you're it." She slows down, placing a arms around her chest. "You're the only one who can do it, Sam. So if she kills you first..." Sam's eyes softened "What?"

"You don't want to survive this."
Sam let out an annoyed sigh "Come on."

"It's a kamikaze attack." Ruby said, raising her voice " You want to die fighting Lilith."
"That's stupid. Ruby do you even hear what comes out of your mouth."Sam scoffed.
"No, it's the truth, because if you kill her and you survive this, then you have to go on without your brother! This isn't what Dean would've wanted. This isn't what he died for." Ruby snapped out angrily. Sam goes towards the door, angry with the demon. Ruby immediately slides in between him and the door, intent on blocking his path. "Get out of my way." Sam whispered patiently.
Ruby put her hands on her waist "No, Sam. This is suicide!"
Sam yanks Ruby against him and pins her to the wall, without hesitation he brings her knife to her throat. He says nothing as he leaves the room with her knife in tow.


Five Months Earlier

The setting is a two story home, it's the epitome of the suburban lifestyle, the white picket fence a garden out front and a huge living room is done on calming soft colors, with a fireplace covered in photos and awards. Sam sees a little girl in a house, who is sitting in a table full of cakes and candies. Sam sneaks into the house with Ruby's knife ready to kill the demon who is hell bent on killing him.

"Please, I want to go home." A small girl with dirty blonde hair sits at a large dining table dressed in what can only be described as 'sunday best'.

As Sam approaches the girl Two demons attack him from behind and in the scuffle Sam loses the knife A grinning demon has Sam pinned.

"Lilith sends her regrets. She couldn't make it."
Ruby takes the knife from the floor and kills one of the demons.

"Take the girl and run!" Ruby grunts as she attacks the only demon left. The demon slams his fist into Ruby and she loses the knife. The demon takes another swing, and then another. "Ruby, you're in so much trouble. When we get you down in the basement - the things we're gonna do to you." He practically moans with a sadistic grin stretching across the meat suits face. The demon places a tighten hand around Ruby's throat, as he squeezes he hesitates. Blood begins flowing from his nose. He looks around in surprise.

Sam comes back and exorcises the demon from a distance, his nose bleeding as well.

"Sam."

"I'm okay. Thanks."


Sam pushes his hair back and lets out a sigh "Ruby came back for me. Whatever you have to say, she saved me. More than that, she got through to me. What she said to me... It's what you would've said. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here."
Before any reply could be made a soft voice cut the air. "Housekeeping!" they called.
Dean let out an annoyed grunt "Not now!"

"Sir, I've got clean towels."

Dean opens the door and the short woman dressed in a maids dress waltzes in. "Couldn't you just leave 'em at the door?" Mumbled a very disgruntled Dean

The woman who is neither tall nor short spoke up "I'm at this address."

A mildly confused Sam tenses up "I'm sorry. What? "Go now. Go through the bathroom window, don't stop, don't take your car, don't pass go. There are demons in the hallway and in the parking lot." The woman says quickly as she rushes around the room. "Ruby?" Sam realizes with a look of disappointment. Ruby lets out an impatient sigh"Okay, yes, so I'm possessing this maid for a hot minute. Sue me."

"What about -"
"Coma girl? Slowly rotting on the floor back at the cabin with Anna, so I've got to hurry back. See you when you get there. Go!"

Ruby stands against a pillar, impatience and anxiety taking her features.
"Glad you could make it." Sam's eyes immediately track to Anna "Yeah, , are you okay?"

"Yeah. I think so. Ruby's not like other demons. She saved my life."
Dean huffs out "Yeah, I hear she does that. I guess I... You know."

"What?" Ruby snaps, looking quite put upon.

"I guess I owe you for... Sam." Dean says rubbing the back of his neck, looking anywhere but his brother." And I just wanted... you know..." Ruby gives him a sarcastic look "Don't strain yourself."
"Okay, then. Is the moment over? " Dean questions Ruby nods her head in response "Good, 'cause that was awkward."

Damalis Walked toward Anna and began looking her over for injuries. After all, Anna is the only reason she's here. " G̴r̶a̷c̴e̶ ̸d̸e̸ ̵e̵l̸o̸ ̸" are you al right?" The Angel hums, slipping into her native tongue. Anna, while a bit flushed confidently responds " I'm alright, not much to brag on, but not the worst." She pauses before turning to Sam "Hey, Sam, you think it'd be safe to make a quick call, just to tell my parents I'm okay? They must be completely freaked."

"Uh..."
Damalis tightened her hands just the slightest on Anna's arms before letting her arms fall

"What?"

"Anna, um... Your parents..."
"What about them?"

"Look." Sam is silent for a beat. "I'm sorry."

Anna's eyes widen, and her posture seems to cave in on itself. "No, they're not..."

Sam has pity shining in his eyes.

"Anna, I'm sorry."

"Why is this happening to me?"

Damalis looks down at her feet, her face showing no pity, only empathy.

Sam let the puppy eyes off their leash

"I don't know."
Anna's body shivers as she wraps her arms around herself. She opens her mouth as if to speak but closes it. The silence that takes over and lasts but a fleeting second. Anna's eyes widen before she lets out a panicked gasp.
"They're coming."

Dean is quickly up and in action shouting out orders "Back room. NOW!"
Sam grabs Anna and leads her to the backroom before rushing back to the action."Hey, I hope you know how to do something other than cry." Dean grunted in the angels direction.
"I hope you know how to do something other than yell at Sam for his life choices." She fires back before preparing for what was to come.

Ruby cuts in "Where's the knife?" she looks at Dean expectantly.

"Uh... about that... "

"You're kidding." Ruby complains as she begins tapping her foot.
"Hey, don't look at me." Dean shouted, looking pointedly at Sam.

"Thanks a lot." Sam says with the look of a child caught in the cookie jar.

Ruby says as she fidgets with her arms. "Great. Just peachy. Impeccable timing, guys, really."

The door rattles violently and bursts open.

A gruff looking young man enters with a short, sweet looking older man. The younger man is wearing a large trench coat and has large blue eye. The shorter man has a smirk on his face.

Dean immediately recognizes the blue eyed angel and breaths a sigh of ignores the short woman who is pointedly trying to remind him why she is here." Please tell me you're here to help. We've been having demon issues all day."

The short man looks unimpressed as he looks around the room "Well, I can see that. You want to explain why you have that stain in the room?" His eye lock onto the little cupid, who is unsuccessfully hiding behind Dean. He doesn't acknowledge her. Castiel speaks up first, a look of apprehension taking his features. "We're here for Anna."Damalis begins yanking on his sleeve, wondering how it is such a forgetful human could remember what defeated what in the supernatural world. "Here for her like... here for her?" Dean asks, ripping his arm from the woman with a glare.

The short man lets out an irritated sigh "Stop talking. Give her to us." Sam, seeming to catch on to the cupid's message asks. "Are you gonna help her?" Damalis drops her hands, exasperated by the boys ignorance, raises her voice, just the slightest " Dean, Sam you can not be this daft!" The men shot her a look. Before the bickering can start Castiel interrupts.

"No, she has to die."


So this is the new chapter, tell me if you like it. Or dont.

In another 3 weeks on Thursday i will try and update, but honestly it might take me an extra week In this i have referenced the fall and just want to make sure we all know that i am referencing the fall of the choir and Lucifer, you know, the batter between Michael and Lucifer. Not the fall in the future seasons. The corrupted text is supposed to be the angels speaking in ENOCH. It says Grace of God' is what Anna's name means. I'm super aware of how many lines i use so no need to tell me about that

I don't have a beta writer
