A/N: Updated sooner this time because my AP's are finally over! So now I can pay more attention to this story. Please review and once again I don't own Supernatural, just my character Rachel.
Chapter Four: Truth be Told
"Hello Dean. Charming as ever." Ruby steps past Dean and into the room. "Sam." She nods towards him a smile creeping on her lips. She turns sensing someone else in the room and freezes when she sees who is standing a few short feet away from her. "Oh this is bad." she takes a step back and bumps into Dean.
"Watch where you're going bitch." he hold the knife ready to use and she glares at him.
"Don't you dare point the weapon I gave to you at me Dean. And don't call the one person who knows just how much trouble you're in a both a bitch because she can leave and you'll be as helpless a ever." she snarls and takes another step back.
"Trouble? We're always in trouble when you arrive." he retorts but lowers the knife.
"What trouble are we in now? What are you talking about? And do you know her?" he gestures towards Rachel who's face is pale and full of fear.
"Who doesn't know her? She's-" Ruby cuts off suddenly and her eyes go wide with fear. Her arms go to her neck an she starts coughing up blood. She falls to her knees and continues to cough up blood.
The boys freeze for a moment but their hunter instincts kick in. Sam scrambles to Ruby trying to get her to stop coughing while Dean is in high alert looking around for the unseen threat.
"What's happening?" Sam asks frantically and Ruby looks straight up at Rachel. She points a shaky finger at her and immediately coils in pain.
Dean looks up at her and points his gun at her. He looks between Ruby and Rachel confused as to why he is even pointing a knife at a girl because a demon says to.
"Are you doing this?" he asks and Rachel looks up from Ruby, her normal blue eyes had a tiny of black encircling it and she looks scared and panicked.
Once her eyes meet Deans Ruby lets out a gasp and starts to regain her breathe. He looks at the demon that Sam is helping up, unsure what to do.
"You little bitch. We're practically family." Ruby says through her grit teeth and she gets up, her jacket and blond hair covered in her own blood. She takes a step towards Rachel and wipes the rest of the blood from her face.
"I am nothing like you!" Rachel takes a step back, now in full panic mode and her eyes search the room for anything that can help.
"What are you talking about family? What the hell is going on?" Dean asks as he watches the scene unfold. Sam looked as perplexed as Dean, but both could sense that this wasn't going anywhere good.
"Don't get your panties in a twist Dean. Isn't it obvious? Me and her, we're family. Why do you think she was with demons in the first place?" she smirks at Dean a he realizes what she trying to say and holds up the knife higher.
"So you're a demon." he didn't ask, it was a statement to him. A fact.
"No it's not like that." she takes a step forward and Dean tenses up, ready to act if she attacks.
"It's exactly like that. You boys sure have bad luck with finding girls." Ruby says then she glances at Sam. "At least you have me." she smirks at Sam avoids her gaze. Rachel had had enough. She did not escape those demons just to be lied about and hated by two hunters and a demon.
"Shut up!" Rachel yells and with a push of her arm she flings Ruby against the wall causing the wall to crack.
"Ouch." Ruby touches her forehead and feel something warm trickle down. This girl was really starting to piss her off. "Just keep digging your grave honey." Ruby's eyes go black and Rachel takes a step back.
"Alright stop!" Dean yells as he holds Rachel back and Sam pins Ruby's arms back.
"Sam going a little fast there aren't we? We haven't even gone on a date yet." Ruby taunts as Sam presses her against the wall to separate the two girls. He mutters a shut up.
Rachel seeing that Ruby won't attack lets Dean hold her back without a struggle.
"Dammit I can't believe we helped a demon." he mutters under his breath and Rachel winces at the word demon.
"I'm not a demon!" she exclaims, then looks down and whispers "well, at least not fully."
"What does that mean?" Dean asks annoyed that he wasn't getting straight answers.
"It means," Ruby answers "that her mama was possessed when she had the little bitch over there. So she's a little of both. You can call it the best of both worlds." Rachel looks down, disgusted with herself about something she had no control over.
"So your half human half demon?" Sam asks and Rachel nods. "And what's the trouble you were talking about?"
"Well when you cleaned out that factory earlier, you didn't do a thorough job because one of the bosses wasn't there and he knows all about Rachel. She was kind of a pet to him and he'll be furious to know his favorite toy and weapon was stolen by none other than the Winchesters themselves." Rachel's eyes widen in fear as she realizes who exactly she's talking about. So the worst one was still out there. Great.
"How was she a weapon and a toy?" Dean questions Ruby and she just shakes her head from side to side.
"Ask little miss sunshine over there because I'm sure she hasn't forgotten. Or ever will forget." she smirks at Rachel and all Rachel wants to do is kill that bitch. Dean looks at Rachel, waiting for her to answer, his knife never moving from where it was, in case she would try something.
"I didn't choose to be with demons. Most I what I told you was true. My family is dead and I've been tortured by demons for five years and for what? So I could help them where they couldn't get through." She was interrupted by Ruby's laugh. She glared at the demon and snapped "what?"
"Nothing it's just that I I'd it funny that you're selling yourself short." she leans forward and whispers harshly, "you didn't just help, you killed."
"Because I was tortured!" Rachel shouted. "Don't think I didn't try to fight it! I was'nt a murderer! They made me into one! All those people try made me kill for what? Information on the tiniest things from where a hunter lived to just being used as a meat suit. And I tried to fight it and guess what? It didn't work. Charles is dead because I ran away and they found me and him being a hunter he saved me! Even when I try to leave, people still end up dead. What am I supposed to do? Please tell me because I have no freaking idea!" Tears of frustration and anger roll down Rachel's face.
"Ruby maybe you should leave." Sam says as he lets go of her.
"I will. But I'm not joking about her being trouble. And the threats aren't just from the demons looking for her either." she says meaningfully before walking out of the room. once the door closes they are left in complete silence.
"So when we're you planning on telling us you were a demon? Great show by the way. I completely believed you were an innocent girl! I'm such an idiot!" Dean yells as he paces around the room. Sam just looks at his brother as rolls his eyes.
"Dean just relax."
"Don't you dare tell me to relax Sammie! Just because your bffs with demons doesn't mean I have to be!" He looks straight at Rachel and says "or that I trust them."
"I'm not a demon!" Rachel exclaims frustrated that they won't listen. The lights start flickering in the room and she takes deep breaths to relax herself. The lights stop flickering but Dean just stares at her as if she were the worst thing he could possibly imagine, which for a hunter, she really was. "I'm not one of them."
"yeah right." Dean snorts "And I'm the friggin Easter Bunny"
"You don't believe me, then that's your problem because it doesn't change anything. How do you think I got through the door? Salt lines would stop normal demons, but I'm human too!"
"That's interesting." Sam says and his far thoughtful. "Then what were you doing with demons?" Rachel stiffens and shakes her head.
"I can't tell you." she whispers
"Why not?" Dean exclaims making Rachel jump. "Because your just as bad as the other demons! How many people have you killed?" Rachel stood quietly and it angers Dean even more "Answer me!"
"Stop." she barely whispers and tears threaten to fall. She feels someone's hand on her shoulder ad next thing she knows she's being pinned against the wall by a very pissed off Dean. "Please stop" she whispers again.
"No." he says and splashes her with holy water. She feels the iciness like she does whenever she touches holy water, but doesn't react in any other way. He doesn't pause while reaching for Ruby's knife. Rachel looks a little scared, not knowing how the knife will actually effect her, but Dean interprets this as fear of him and cuts her arm.
"Dean!" Sam exclaims behind him but Dean ignores his little brother. He watches Rachel's reaction and sees her wincing in pain.
"How many did you kill?" he barks again and she looks straight at him, her eyes darker than before.
"Every single one they told me to. Have you ever been tortured by a demon before? No. But that'll change soon won't it? Hell isn't called hell for nothing Dean and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy." Her reply is met with silence and Dean's face turns grim. "After a while I broke, just like everyone does." her eyes go back to their usual color and she whispers sadly, "Just like you will."
Dean let's her go and doesn't meet her eye, but Sam steps forward. "How do you know about the deal?" he asks
"Who doesn't? Azazel was one of the people who tortured me, he liked to talk and you and your brother were one of his favorite topics.
Sam frowns, clearly disappointed "So you have no idea how to get him out of it?" I shake my head no.
"Sammie don't even try. You heard what the demon said, if I try to get out of it you die. I'm not risking it." he says and slumps onto the bed.
Rachel looks between the two brothers, Sam staring at his older brother worried while Dean avoids his gaze.
Rachel rolls her arm, trying to ignore the pain but it doesn't go away and she let's out a gasp of pain. Both boys turn to stare at her and Deans face is full of hatred again.
"Looks like something can hurt you" he smirks but Sam looks puzzled.
"That would normally hurt a demon much worse than that." he looks thoughtful again. "Can anything kill you?" he asks. Rachel shrugs her shoulders.
"I guess, but as far as I know of nothing."
"Great! Just fucking fantastic! Of course we get stuck with the one demon who can't be killed" Dean exclaims.
"You aren't stuck with me. I'm leaving. Thanks for your help, but I'm not staying where I'm not wanted." she says and whispers "or where people will get hurt." She doesn't think anyone can hear her but Sam does.
"You're hurt and like Ruby said, there are demons after you. You aren't leaving yet" Sam says and Rachel raises her eyebrow questionably. What were they playing at helping a demon?
"Like hell you are! She could kill us in our sleep Sammie!" he yells, then adds "well she could try to."
"C'mon Dean, she could've killed us a dozen times since we brought her here, but she didn't. Doesn't that earn her some credit?" he asks and Rachel stays silent while Dean just continues to glare at her.
"Fine but once there's trouble just know I don't care what happens to you." he says coldly, then turns around muttering "Like one demons isn't bad enough, now we have two."
"Thanks" she whispers to Sam and he nods. Dean storms out of the room leaving Sam and Rachel standing.
"Well I'm gonna, ugh, check on the weapons" he stutters and walks towards the duffle bag on the floor.
"I'll help you." she says and follows him. He stops and she stumbles backwards after bumping into him.
"Maybe you shouldn't. I mean I don't think Dean would like it if you touched our weapon. It's gonna take him a while to get over the whole demon thing." he says and Rachel just nods. She sits in the couch, ignoring the sadness that she felt because of their lack of trust. But what else should she have expected? She is half demon and they are hunters, that's the natural reaction.
She falls asleep pretty quickly, her new cut getting stinging. After what seems like seconds she feels her while body stinging. She opens her eyes and freezes when she sees the man she's feared for so many years, the man who tortured and broke her standing over her.
He looks straight at her and smiles. "Hello little one" he says and she let's out a bloodcurdling shriek.
