Sam wiped the demon blood from around his mouth. He felt strong, like his entire being was vibrating with energy, this was normal after drinking demon blood. It made him feel alive when nothing else did, and for that he was grateful. Ruby had left only moments ago, so when he heard footsteps, he knew it wouldn't be her.
Sam whipped around, knife in hand, to come face to face with someone he recognized immediately. She had left him stumped for weeks and had made him find another crossroads demon, wanting to see if it worked that time. The colt had killed this demon, so why not the one that was now staring at him?
"Didn't I tell you not to be an idiot, Sam?" the demon snapped.
Sam stared at her in confusion.
"Oh don't give me that confused face... And put your knife away, I'm not gonna hurt you. Besides, it's not like it'd work anyway," she placed her hands on her hips and shifted her weight from one foot to the other.
"Who are you?" Sam asked, lowering his knife, but still keeping his firm grip on its handle.
"Better question, why the fuck are you working with some demon bitch?" By the crease in her brow and the fire in her eyes, it was easy to tell she was angry.
"I don't have to answer to you. Besides, aren't you just some demon bitch?" Sam snapped, scowling at her previous accusation.
The demon, or whatever she was, lowered her gaze. Some of the fire in her eyes diminished. "...No. No I'm not.." Her reply was soft, almost inaudible.
Sam's brow creased in confusion, but it was replaced by an expression of anger when the demon...girl...thing took a bold step towards him and jabbed him in the chest with her pointer finger.
"Stop being an asshat and working with that demon. She's not who you think she is, Sam. She's going to hurt you." Her tone was stern, almost motherly. Sam pushed her away.
"This isn't going to bring your dearest big brother back from hell."
That was when Sam snapped. He raised his hand and focused, just like he'd been practicing.
Nothing happened.
"Hmm yeah...won't work... Nice try though," she chimed with a grin.
Sam focused more, only to feel his head starting to ache from the process.
"Don't hurt yourself there, kid." The demon paused and crossed her arms. "Here, I'll make it easier for you." With a snap of her fingers, she was gone.
