As soon as the words left her mouth the entire room became silent. Dean recognized it as a couple issue and left the room.
"You know I'll let you two love birds work out everything, I'll be in the car." He stammered. Jessica felt a bit relieved and embarrassed when he left in a hurry, but at least she could finally tell Sam the truth. His mouth was still frozen in shock like she had turned him to stone already.
"Sam I know it may sound like a game but I promise its not, I can explain everything." She said. Whether Sam believed her or not, it was time to come clean.
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked. The shock on his face mimicked many she had seen before on humans when they saw her monster side. Yet there was something else in his expression guilt mixed with sadness.
"There's so much its a long complicated story but you should know first that I know you are a hunter." She said. This seemed to knock Sam out of his shocked state but still held guilt and sadness in his eyes.
"I don't know what you are talking about." He lied.
"Sam its okay you don't have to worry about me thinking you are crazy I know monsters are real. I've faced many hunters." She responded. Her expression now matched his and she placed her hands on his face.
"How did you..." He began.
"Like I've said there have been many hunters in my life but I can't keep this secret from you anymore. I'm a monster and if you came here to take me out then I won't stop you." She responded. Despite the fact that her heart physically hurt at thought he might end her life. Yet the freedom from her miserable existence after what just happened to her children. Was the best option in her opinion and she would rather have Sam do it. At least it would be a way he could save her.
"Jessica I'm not going to kill you, I don't care if you are not human." Sam said firmly. Tears welled up in her eyes but from what she wasn't sure.
"Sam you don't understand I'm not some kind of monster that can control themselves, I'm not like a werewolf or skin walker. I'm a..." She was about to say she was a gorgon but Sam just kissed her firm on the lips. Her eyes went wide and she eagerly returned it.
"You are a gorgon yes I know. I have been wondering about it since we met." He finished for her. Jessica gasped as she pulled away.
"So you do know, How did you figure it out?" She asked.
"I don't know maybe it was when I first saw you in the labyrinth where I saw Medusa. Never have I wanted so badly to be wrong." Sam responded. This makes them both shed more tears and Jessica closed her eyes.
"Yeah that was me, I'm Medusa." She admitted.
Sam had that sadness in his eyes again and she figured he was going to laugh any second.
"Jessica you are not Medusa." He responded. She shook her head tearfully and picked a pair of scissors.
"Close your eyes Sam." She said her voice cracking. He did as she asked and when a piece of her blonde hair was cut it feel to the floor and it turned into a baby green Viper. Sam jumped at the unexpected hiss and saw she had green scales on her hands.
"I told you Sam, I'm a monster one of the worst ones there is." She cried. After months of holding those words in she couldn't help but cry. However there was no rejection on Sam's face, he was scared not disgusted.
"Jessica." He said.
It was only one word and she looked back at him. He made no argument when she got closer to him.
"I know I lied and I'm sorry but I was scared and..." She began but felt Sam hold her close.
"Shh don't you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, if anyone understands what its like to keep secrets from everyone its me." He explained. She looked at him with hope and surprise.
"You are not leaving me or going to hurt me?" She asked.
"No I could never bring myself to hurt you Jessica, I care about you too much." He responded. They shared a look full of tears and hopeful thoughts for the future.
"You are not scared of me? This isn't how I normally look I'm hideous." She said.
He saw each tear that feel from her face and held her closer in his arms. Medusa or not there was no way he could ever be afraid of her.
"I am not afraid of you Jess we are together, and now we are in this together. I don't care how you look, I didn't ask you out because of your looks. You are a wonderful person Jessica and you are not an evil monster, I've seen far worse." He declared. These words made Jessica's heart leap for joy and she jumped onto him. They fell on Sam's bed and she covered his face in butterfly kisses. A bold move considering a few minutes ago she thought he might cut her head off.
"Sam you are trembling." She said.
"No Jess that's you trembling, I don't care who or what you are. You are my girlfriend." He responded.
She cried so more though this time they were tears of joy. Her gesture of kisses was returned by Sam in a matter of minutes and soon she was on cloud nine.
"I've never been this happy, my life has been one curse after the other until I met you Sam." She told him. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead as she laid in his hold.
"You don't have to worry about your curse anymore Dean and I will find a way, I'm going to save you." He responded.
"Save me what about Posideon?" She asked. No matter what she said about what the sea god might do to Sam. He refused to leave her alone and just comforted her after hearing everything Poseidon had done to her .
"I'm going to find a way to save you and I'm not scared of the sea god, if he wants you. He will have to go through me." He declared.
Jessica was touched and worried at the same at his words, but her new baby snake slithered into the bed with them. The new reptile had innocence in her eyes and Jessica wanted that back.
"Now now its alright little one." She said. The tiny viper fit into her hands and slithered along her arms like Queenie had done.
"So those snakes that looked after they were from your hair." He responded. The viper hissed at him but Jessica instructed the snake to stand down.
"Some of them were yes, they like to assist me in my human form. The others were my children disguised so that the vile Poseidon would not recognize them." She said. The sneer on her face at the mention of Poseidon could have started a fire.
Sam watched her bond with the tiny viper and wondered what she meant. A sudden horrible thought came upon him.
"Jessica what do you mean your children? Please don't tell me that this was why you were limping. Did that son of a bitch take advantage of you!" He exclaimed. His volume scared the viper but Jessica wasn't phased by it. Despite her constant denial that she didn't want to talk about. Eventually she admitted that Poseidon had ruined her life in so many ways.
"The guy is lustful and he doesn't care who's life he ruins! He saw me and I was so beautiful to him. I said no over and over again, even when I see him again. He just doesn't stop. I feel so dirty and ashamed when he looks at me like I'm a piece of meat!" She cried. Angry tears mixed with ones of regret ran down her face.
"How often has he done this that is it I'm killing the guy!" Sam screamed back. Jessica grabbed onto him as she calmed down and tried to breathe.
"Sam no that won't make me feel better, it would make us no better than him. The only thing that would help is to be free." She responded. All she wanted to do was kill the sea god, pull out all his precious hair. Leave him broken and bruised while he begged for mercy like her children had. Then throw what was left into her laybrith so she could perify him and let her new snakes eat him.
"Jessica he has hurt you so much you can't just let him get away with this." Sam argued.
"No he will not be getting away with this I will not let him. He killed them my babies because I was with you."
Her voice dropped to almost a whisper and Sam could hear her hiss. She obviously was like any mother was, brave and protective.
"So why do you not want me kill to him?" Sam asked.
"Because like I said that would make us just as bad and I want him to feel my pain. Use the gift he gave me against him." She responded. Still frustrated and distraught about the mention of his name.
"I won't let him hurt you anymore, I know you are afraid I will leave but I promise I will save you. Because you are my girlfriend and I love you." He admitted. There were tears in his eyes as well.
At this point they must have been nearly out of tears.
"Sam I told you not to fall in love with me." She reminded him. Sam just kissed her again giving her his response on the condition.
"Too late I already did." He whispered. She smiled when she heard that and leaned into his hold.
"Sam thats the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, but what about when I change back. At the end of the year I'll be in my gorgon form and you won't be able to look at me." She responded.
"No Jessica I won't be afraid to look at you and by then I'm going to have saved you. It doesn't matter what happens to me, all I care about is you." He said. She shook her head at him again as she would not stand for him becoming stone.
"No Sam I have watched people die all my life, some monsters but also guilty and innocent people." She said. Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged Sam tight.
"Jess..." He began but she shushed him.
"No Sam I won't let you turn to stone, you've become my reason to keep going and I can't lose that." She declared.
