                Tell me, Sam demands. Right now.

                Ruby, she answers, lying. Call me Ruby, she corrects, hoping for leniency when he learns the truth.

                He repeats Ruby softly, eyes assessing her. He stands tall, using his height to full advantage, and she studies him in return.

                His power glows around him. How anyone can miss it is beyond her.

                I’m here to help, she says. And that’s the truth.

                I’m sure, he scoffs, slowly sinking back onto the bed.  

                She doesn’t take that as acceptance, or him relaxing. Azazel chose him for a reason, and she can see it in the very air around him. Once he’s realized… she must be on his side, must have his confidence. 

                So she plays her trump card. I can help you save Dean.

                She doesn’t understand love anymore. But she does know loyalty. She will be loyal to Sam, and he is loyal to Dean.  She knows that they are a matched set.

                That’s where Azazel went wrong, a mistake she refuses to make.

                Fifty dollars. You gave him your body and soul, and it was only worth fifty dollars. A bet. 

                You were no more than a bet to him. Was anything he said real, true? Mean a thing beyond getting laid? 

                Fifty dollars. You gave up your family and teachings and God for him, and he got fifty dollars. Is he laughing with his friends now? Telling about how easy you were, how eager to please, for fifty dollars?

                Your mother can barely stand to look at you. Your father is disgusted with you. Because of fifty dollars.

                You loved him. Love him. Fifty dollars is all you’re worth, and you still can’t stop thinking him.

                Maybe a blade against your skin will help.

                Sam grunts, falling to his knee for a moment then forcing himself back up. Dean glances at him and whirls around, gun in hand and fired before the bitch can say a single thing. Bella goes down, blood blooming on her face, the back of her head gone.

                Dean doesn’t spare her a solitary look, hurrying to Sam. “Sammy?” he asks.

                “’m’fine,” Sam tells him. “It’ll heal.”
                Sam insists that they deal with the foot and the body before seeing to his shoulder. Arguing would take more time, so Dean agrees.

                Once he has Sam secreted away in a room, he backtracks. The two Jesus-freaks(according to how Sam described them) are gone, but easy to follow.

                It’ll be written off as a traffic accident, and Sam will be a bit safer. Not safe enough—never safe enough until no one else is alive to threaten him—but Dean has done what he can for the night.

                So he goes back to Sam and watches his little brother sleep, content with the day: three enemies no longer a danger.

                “Dean,” Sam mutters, eyes blinking open. “Go’sleep.”

                He leans over, smoothing Sam’s hair off his forehead. By light of day, he’d never be so soft, so tender. “Okay, dude,” he replies gently. “Now, shut your eyes, go back to sleep.”

                Sam listens, eyelids fluttering closed. Dean stands bent over him for another moment. He sold his soul for this man, this boy, his baby brother. He’s given everything he has, everything he is. He’s always done, and never thought twice.

                Sam’s fully under, so Dean drops a swift kiss to his forehead. “Sweet dreams, Sammy,” he whispers.

                Three more souls on his own, to be burned for in the Pit. He watches Sam sleep and can’t find it in him to regret.

with you all the way...

Re: on dean protecting sam against bela and the hunters

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[redrikki.livejournal.com]

Nice set. I really don't care for Ruby what with her actress's inability to actually act and her sob story from Malleus Maleficarum, but I did like your version. Her helping Sam so she can be on the winning side sounds just right.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

When the trumpets fade

Good look at what might have gone through Ruby’s head. I like that she recognizes and places some value on Dean and Sam’s bond.

Salt me a bird and be its noose

Love this ending. It’s interesting to contemplate exactly how far Dean would go to save Sam.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

I like your take on Ruby and her reasons, she really seems to understand that you don't have Sam without having Dean and vice versa.
I like the third one too, big brother in action!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

1)Right you are, Ruby.

3)I like your dark!hunter take on Dean, like 'The Best of All Soldiers'. Somewhat Ben-ish.

[tigriswolf]

I'm thinking of doing another drabble series, retelling every episode with a darker Dean. *headdesk*

Thank you for reading!

[noybusiness.livejournal.com]

I'd have no complaints!

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

YES. This is how it should've gone. I was expecting Bela to get punched or something; I couldn't believe that Dean was so okay with Sam getting hit. Grrrrrr.

So thank you for fixing it. LOL

~Nebula

[tigriswolf]

Thank you! That COMPLETELY annoyed me.

[creeno.livejournal.com]

Smart 'lil Ruby. Think she'll definitely last a little bit longer.

=jaw drops= Holy shit, I remember that movie from way-back when I had LOGO. Much love. ♥

THANK YOU. JESUSFUCK! The way he doesn't even look back when Bela's body goes thump is gorgeous.

[tigriswolf]

What's LOGO?

Thank you so much!

[creeno.livejournal.com]

LOGO is the GLBT channel on...DirectTV, I think. I didn't watch it much due to siblings walking in on me.

♥. No prob.

[lady-macbeth-13.livejournal.com]

Hellz yeah!

[tigriswolf]

*glee*

[sylvanwitch]

Oh, my, my, my...I do like a dark!Dean, and this one is beautifully motivated by his obvious love for Sam. Nicely elucidated! Thanks for sharing!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

He sold his soul for this man, this boy, his baby brother.

I really like that line - man, boy and baby - it speaks volumes of Dean being always there for Sam, then and now.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[a-dean-girl.livejournal.com]

Bela never should have gotten away with hurting Sam, and they absolutely should have gone after the hunters that wanted to kill them. Thanks for setting things right, I like your version much better.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you for reading!

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Damn...

*hugs you*

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!
