Chapter 24: Destiny Sucks

"I'm in."

Elliott sat anxiously in her pickup, glancing again at the stereo to check the time. Ruby had sounded relieved when she had agreed to meet her at the Mid-Way-Motel in an hour. She hadn't even gone back in the house to tell Bobby that she was leaving or tell him that she would be back later. Just hopped into the Beast and left. Leaving a cloud of dust behind her. It wasn't too far of a drive from Bobby's. In fact, because of her led foot she had gotten there in under twenty minutes.

Her leg jiggled nervously as she sat behind the wheel in the parking lot. When her phone buzzed for the fifth time, she just ignored it. Assuming it was Bobby and Dean again trying to reach her. Of course, she knew why they were calling. She ran off without a word and was ignoring their calls and texts. If she did talk to them, she wouldn't know what to say and it wasn't like she could just out right tell them the truth. There was no doubt in her mind they would try to stop her. She knew how crazy this was. It was completely insane but it had to be done. Bobby and Dean will be so mad at her for ditching like this but it doesn't matter. After she heals Sam they could yell and curse her out all they want. Sam will be safe, and Dean will hopefully get over his issues with his brother once he is no longer tweaking out. Her thoughts trailed on while she anxiously waited. She wondered if Bobby and Dean would be disgusted if they find out how she could heal Sam. Shaking her head ridding her mind of the thought, because it really didn't matter what they thought of her. They would have Sam back to normal and he would be safe again.

When her phone buzzed for a sixth time she gave in and glanced down at the screen. She shot up from her crouched position on the bench seat of the truck. Among the many missed calls and dozens of text messages from Bobby and Dean was a message from Ruby. No words just a room number.

This was it, Elliott thought reaching her hand in her leather jacket to pat at the Holy Water and small dagger hidden there. Unfortunately, her speedy departure left her with limited supplies. So these were the only things she could scrounge up from the Beast's hidden compartment. Since she had been hunting in the Impala so constantly Dean had suggested she move some of her own weapons into Baby's trunk. That was months ago now, leaving the Beast with very little reserve.

Not wasting any time Elliott jumped from her truck and straightened out her jacket before making her way across the lot. The motel's parking lot was nearly empty with the evening sun starting to dip below the horizon. Pinks and oranges brushed across the sky. A cool breeze wisped by sweeping her untamed copper blonde locks all around.

She stared at the door marked with a six, approaching with a false confidence. Elliott stood there for a moment to shake off any anxiousness she still had. She knew what was going to happen behind that door and as much as it terrified her it also filled her with a strange sense of relief. She was going to drink demon blood in just a few moments yes, but in an hour or so she would be healing Sam. He wasn't going to be suffering for much longer. Her giant was going to be okay because of her and that made doing this worth it a thousand times over.

Rolling her shoulders back eagerly determined to save the man she loves, she knocked on the door with a rusty metal number six loosely nailed on. When Ruby didn't answer immediately Elliott began anxiously tapping her fingers along her denim covered thigh. She wanted to get this over with so she could get back to Sam. Ruby seemed to take her time, opening the door slowly with a lazy grin.

"Come on in, Hun'." She nodded inside leaning idly on the frame, giving the small blonde enough room to enter.

Elliott skidded around her making her way into the very cheap hick motel. She listened to Ruby shut the door behind her and slowly slide the chain lock into place. Natural hunter instincts had her assessing her surroundings for possible threats, weapons, and exits. Unlike the motels she stayed in with the guys, this room had one larger instead of the smaller two which was neatly made. On both sides of the bed were rickety night stands, each of which held its own dim flickering lamps. A small warping desk was shoved up against the opposite wall with a banged up wooden chair in front of it. She could see the closed bathroom door at the back of the room. The cramped space although old and musty didn't appear to be used. Telling Elliott Ruby hadn't been staying here, that this was just a meeting spot.

"Alright Ruby, I am-" She cleared her throat still taking in the room for any missed details.

"Take a seat Hun'. You look nervous." Ruby smirked clearly amused with the hunter's cautiousness. "Relax. It's just a few gulps. Nothing to write home about. You would think you're the one getting sliced open and slurped at like a juice box."

Elliott grimaced at the choice of words. She stayed standing but sighed letting her shoulders fall a degree. Then with a raised brow she met her chocolate eyes warily. "I don't really have to drink it straight from you, do I?"

Ruby chuckled sitting on the edge of the bed herself. "What no foreplay?" She teased giving her a suggestive grin.

"I don't have time for this Ruby." Elliott snapped, wanting to get back to her giant. She had only been away from him an hour but it felt much longer, a heavy feeling in her gut grew with every second. "I need to get back to Sam."

"No, you don't. You need to be prepped for your master's arrival."

A strong arm wrapped around her middle, tightly locking her arms down at her sides.

"Hey! What the fuck?!" Elliott shouted fighting against her captive's hold. It was too strong, demon strong.

"You got her? Or do I need to get him to help?" Ruby questioned the demon holding the resisting hunter.

"No, I have her." The male demon grunted holding her as if she weren't struggling with all her might. Ruby just stood there curiously scrutinizing the little hunter thrashing in his hold.

Shit, shit, shit. Elliott screamed in rage, not sure who she was angrier with, Ruby's betrayal or her own stupidity. "You traitorous bitch!" Elliott roared, glaring daggers at her. "You tricked me!"

"Demon." Ruby shrugged with a smile. "Now be a good little bitch so we can get you to Ramiel. He needs get you ready for tonight."

A flash of fear crossed Elliott's eyes. She was going to bring her back to Ramiel. No, this couldn't be happening. Not again. Not now. With the last seals breaking and Sam's withdrawal putting his life on the line she hadn't even thought about Ramiel. She had more important things to think about, she excused internally. Damnit, how could she have been so gullible. Memories played behind her eyes of the cold metal table, demon blood syringes, and aching intense pain. It set the scars along her inner thigh ablaze with a phantom burn. No, she couldn't go back to him. She wouldn't. Quickly she masked the fear not wanting Ruby to see. However, the corner of the demon's lips curling into a smirk informed her she had seen it.

Elliott's jaw ticked and she grounded her teeth together. "Ramiel… you've been on his side this whole time."

"In a way, yea." She shrugged smirk still lingering. "Same objective I guess, we just had… different areas of interest. Ramiel's was on you." Elliott crinkled her brow, listening carefully. If Ramiel's interest was on her that meant Ruby's interest was on-

"Sam." Elliott breath hitched in her throat. Ruby was after Sam. "Stay away from him! I'll fucking kill you!"

Ruby turned away from Elliott laughing. Then grabbed a cellphone off of the small wooden desk, to make a call.

"No." Elliott wouldn't let this happen. She needed to get out of here. Not only was she going to be handed over to Ramiel, Ruby was going after Sam. Apparently poisoning him wasn't enough.

Moving quickly, Elliott threw her head back hard. Whacking it into the demon behind hers nose with a crunch. He grunted surprised, automatically loosening his hold slightly. Ignoring her now aching head she lifted her leg and stomped down hard on his foot with the heal of her boot. It stunned the demon enough she able to throw her arms out and break free.

Ruby spun around like a top, the phone hung loose in her hand. The ringing faintly meeting her ears through the speaker. Ruby wasn't fast enough, hardly getting two steps in, before Elliott had reached into her jacket pocket and uncapped the plastic bottle of Holy Water. Ruby hesitated in front of her at the sight of the bottle, giving Elliott an easy target. She squeezed the bottle splashing the water in her face. The sound of sizzling flesh was drowned out by the demon's screams and shrieks. Quickly turning to the demon that had been holding her she splashed some on him as well. Then ran for the door, unlocking the little chain and ripping it open.

"You fucking bitch! Get her!" Ruby's shouts behind her pushed her to jet out of the room.

The Beast was parked on the other side of the motel lot, the sun was still going down but now had started purpling the sky. She ran as fast as she could. Without slowing her stride Elliott dug in her pocket for her phone. Her Elvis lighter and carton with only one cigarette fell out in the process. She didn't even giving them a second thought continuing to run. The water in the slushed around in the bottle gripped in her other hand. She needed to call Dean, and warn him Ruby was after Sam, and that she was working with Ramiel. Needed to tell him what an idiot she was, and that she might need backup. Pressing speed dial the truck less than twenty feet away in clear view, but Ruby's shouts had abruptly ceased behind her. She chanced a quick look behind her. The demons weren't chasing her, they were just standing outside the motel room door watching her escape. Her forehead crinkled at the sight. Were they really just letting her go?

Wham! Elliott ran straight into something large and solid that couldn't have been there before. A large hand wrapped around her arm, just above her elbow keeping her from tumbling to the ground. She stumbled in the grasp before looking up.

Her blood ran cold, and she lost the ability to breathe for a moment. It was him. In the exact same intimidating vessel. The tall muscular man with peppered grey in his dark hair. Even his grey flecked facial hair was cut the same.

"Ramiel-" Elliott choked out in horror. "N-no!" Elliott's fist tightened reminding her she still had the phone in the hand of the arm he was still holding, the bottle of Holy water in the other. A spark of desperation hit and had her aiming the less than half full plastic water bottle at the demon. But he was expecting it. His free hand snatched her wrist mid air, halting her attack. The water splashing to the blacktop, not even sprinkling on him.

Elliott whimpered as his hand began crushing her wrist. Forcing her to squeeze her fist expelling the little Holy water left from the plastic bottle. Muscles in her knees twitched wanting to buckle. His grasp grew even tighter causing a loud snap.

"Eep!" she yelped dropping the empty water bottle to the pavement. Her knees following landing hard.

"Now, now little one. I though we already worked on your manners." He rumbled out warningly. The sound of the rough baritone voice that still haunts her nightmares sent an icy chill down her spine, and made it hard to breathe.

Elliott shook her head back and forth, and started yanking at her painful and probably broken wrist to try and free herself. Wanting to be as far away from the yellow eyed demon as possible.

"Ellie!" The barely audible shout called out through the phone in her grasp free hand. Her eyes went wide forgetting about the phone.

"Dean!" Elliott shouted as Ramiel easily pulled the cell from her hand. "Dean, I'm sorry! I didn't know! I fell for her trick! It was Ru-" Whack!

Elliott's head snapped to the side, and she landed on the blacktop. Stars twinkled over her vision losing all orientation of the world around her. She inhaled sharply choking back air, trying to breathe. Blood dribbled down her fat lower lip and along her chin from the demon's sucker punch. Once she could breathe again, she strained to hear Dean's voice over the speaker.

"You son of a bitch! Don't you touch her! I swear if you harm a hair on her head-" Dean's cursed outraged met her ears muffled by the cellphone being so far away.

"You'll what?" Ramiel taunted, finding his threats amusing. "Relax, I can't kill her because like you, she has her own role to play in this." He tilted his head watching her shake off his hit and try to listen. "Say goodbye to your friend Elliott." Dazed she looked up to his glowing yellow eyes with confusion as she feebly pushed up onto her hands and knees crying out when she used her broken wrist.

"Ellie?! Ellie!"

"Dee-ee-" She choked out. "I'm s-sorry." She coughed to clear her throat spiting to the side. Then stared intently at the red spot liquid she spat up.

"Ellie! I'm coming for you! You hear me?! Stay strong alright?! I'm coming! I will-" Dean's shouts made her stomach sink and eyes fill up. He knew she was going to be taken, and that he couldn't be there for her now, but it was all her fault. She trusted a demon, now she was going to pay.

"Ah, Dean. As much as little Elliott here would love to chat, I have to prepare her for Lucifer's arrival." Ramiel smiled softly down at Elliott's shocked bloody face. Not bothering hanging up he crunched the phone in his hand to pieces.

"L-L-Lucifer?" She stuttered, holding her broken wrist to her chest.

Ramiel crouched down to her eye level. Reaching out to her, his calloused hand cupped her cheek. "Don't be afraid, little one. He will take care of you." Elliott sat there gapping like a fish, her wide hazel eyes like saucers.

"No…" She breathed shaking her head in horror.

"You are no match for fate little one, or your master. So, I suggest you remember your manners. Lucifer won't be as kind as I have been to you."

Kind? Ramiel had been kind? Elliott jerked out of his hand, and turned away feeling like she was going to hurl. This was so wrong.

"No, no, no, no. I'm not. You're fucking nuts! I don't belong to anyone." She babbled denying the ridiculous claim. She didn't belong to anyone, let alone the freaking devil. This demon had lost his damn marbles, the devil was locked away and… She froze remembering Bobby's intel that most of the seal's had already broke and were continuing to break to free Lucifer from his cage. "…the seals."

"Told you she was smart." Ruby smiled approaching them slowly, male demon beside her. "I don't think father will like that." Ramiel stood up and turned to the approaching demons.

"Ruby." He greeted business like, ignoring her little quip. "I have to prepare her. Don't you have a Winchester waiting for you somewhere?"

"Sam!" Elliott's head shot up. Her head was still pounding and still processing that Lucifer was not only going to be released but, in these demon's, sick minds she somehow belonged to him. When hearing Ruby was going after her giant had Elliott was able to push back some of the cloudiness fogging her thoughts. "No. You stay away from him!"

Using her good arm, she pushed up on to her feet. The movement brushed her small dagger hidden in her jacket along her side reminding her that it was there. Reaching her uninjured left hand into her leather jacket she pulled out the dagger slashing out wildly. Uncoordinated with her left hand she was only able to get a small slash into Ruby's side. The demon quickly blocked her next slash, then her fist collided with Elliott's temple.

White flashed before her eyes and the next thing she knew she lying on the pavement blanking out her fall to the ground. Her head was throbbing with her heartbeat. She groaned, slowly blinking up to the demons.

"Fuck you-" Elliott bit out slower than she intended.

"That's for the Holy water. This is for running." Ruby smiled. Then before Elliott could even turn her head Ruby's fist collided with her again this time along her jaw. If she wasn't choking for air she probably would have cried out. She coughed, spittle and blood fell from her numb lips pooling under her cheek. Her head was pulsing sharply and the world around her wobbled blurring her sight.

"Stop this now." Ramiel boomed, making Elliott curl in on herself. "We don't have time for this."

"No…" Elliott groaned lying on her stomach and too dazed to move but felt large hands on her arms. She cried out when he had her broken wrist and before she understood why, rope was securing them together behind her back. Oh it hurt, she whined at the way the rope wrapped around her shattered wrist.

"Sorry." Ruby huffed not sounding the least bit sorry.

"Just go back to Sam, and get him ready." He grumbled back with a disapproving tone.

"Sam? No, you can't- Leave him alone-" Elliott attempted to yell. The fear of Sam being hurt slowed down the worlds wobbling and made her vision a little clearer but not enough to move with her hands tied behind her back.

"He will be." Ruby promised Ramiel, completely ignoring her now. "-and after I tell him Lilith's the one that has her,"

"He will be so enraged nothing'll keep him from breaking the final seal." Ramiel agreed, digging around inside his jacket.

"What…?" Elliott blinked trying to process what they were saying. She was so confused that she almost missed what he pulled out of his jacket. A whimper escaped her throat, when she did. She tried to pull away but her movements were sluggish due to the multiple blows to her head. Most likely concussed. Tears even began to spill over her cheek. A syringe.

"Shhh- shhh-shhhh." Ramiel cooed petting her head with his free hand the hand holding the syringe expertly uncapped the needle. "It's not what you think little one. Just a little something to help you relax, until we are ready." Before she could respond her tangled blonde hair was being pulled back to one side. The feeling of his thick rough fingers prodded her neck to find a vein.

"No, no, no…" She whined, as the sharp prick of the needle pierced her neck. Gasping when the warm liquid entered her blood stream. Whatever it was hit her immediately she could feel it slowing her thoughts and weighing her limbs down like weights.

"Alright, I gave her a pretty good dose. She will be out soon." She heard him speak behind her. The world was spinning too fast turning her stomach. Then she felt his hands on her ankles, but her head was too heavy to lift to turn and see. A low throaty chuckling rumbled from the demon as he tied her ankles together, amused with her weak attempts to kick out at him. "I need to be getting her to Lilith, and you-"

"Need to get back to Sam. I know, I know." Ruby cut him off. "Relax. It's going to be almost too easy from here. Sam Winchester will be so furious he'll kill Lilith without a single hesitation." Her cocky grin was missed by Elliott who was having a hard time keeping her eyelids open.

"Wha? S-mm…" Elliott slurred not even sure what she was trying to say. The yellow eyed demon's hushing and the feeling of being lifted off the pavement was the last thing she processed, promptly passing out.

"The relaxants in her system should keep her docile enough," A deep voice she knew she should be afraid of met her ears, rousing her from the darkness. "But my blood will over power it soon. By then if Ruby plays her part Lucifer will be free."

Elliott struggled to open her eyes. Not sure if they wouldn't because of the hammering in her drowsy head or that her lids were weighed down like anvils. Even when she came to feeling her body, realizing that she had been tied upright to what felt like a large stone pillar, she couldn't force her eyes open. The rope held her tightly to the pillar, it wrapped around her chest, torso and above her knees. Though her eyes were closed her ears began picking up on things around her. Not yet processing why that voice was making her own breathing pick up shallowly. Her body reacting to the danger even though her mind hadn't fully picked up on it yet.

An icy shiver ran up her spine making her twitch. Then involuntary movement stiffened her muscles and cause the rope still binding her wrist behind her to strain. Jolts of pain spasmed from her injured wrist. She groaned loudly at the tender limb. Her smooth legs rubbed up against each other in their bindings. A huff of air escaped her lungs at the feeling, surprised that she was no longer in her jeans. Instead something silky laid over them. In fact, Elliott wiggled her toes, her boots were gone as well.

Pushing the throbbing in her brain and her tender wrist as far back as she could, to focus on opening her heavy eyes. It took longer than she wanted and when she did get them to crack open, they were heavy. Her droopy hazel eyes lazily looked down to assess herself without lifting her head. A small relief washed over her to find that although she wasn't wearing her own clothes, she wasn't naked. She blinked slowly with a crinkled forehead at what she was dressed in. Now she was wearing a silky white dress with little lacey off the shoulder sleeves. It had bits of lace here and there along the off white dress that reached all the way down to her toes. It looked almost bridal, Elliott thought sluggishly. What made it more confusing was the deteriorating alter and pews around her, the demons brought her to an old abandoned church.

A strange wave of power began to thrum through her veins, washing way a layer of her foggy drowsiness. Her head was still pulsing from Ruby's jarring beat down. Not to mention the rope was tight on her most likely broken wrist.

"Looks like the drugs are wearing off." A female voice she didn't recognize spoke from somewhere near her right. Elliott tilted her head to see the woman. She was very pretty, with medium length platinum blonde hair, and eyes that were too menacing and didn't fit the rest of her appearance. The woman was dressed similar to her, but looked more like a dress from a high school prom then a bridal magazine.

"Like I just said Lilith, the drugs won't be strong enough to keep her down for much longer," Ramiel hummed stepping up behind the platinum blonde. Lilith? Elliott's hazel eyes widen recognizing her name. Sam had told her all about Lilith. The demon that had held Dean's contract, and sent him to Hell via Hellhounds.

"You-" Elliott croaked drugged sleep still thick in her voice. "You are the bitch that killed Dean."

Lilith's smile soured as she stared down the hunter. "Unfortunately, it didn't stick."

"All in the past now." Ramiel purred in a comforting tone. His hand resting on the other demon's shoulder. "We have better things to focus on now."

"The seals… you're breaking the rest of the seals." Elliott's breath caught in her throat remembering what Ruby and Ramiel had said in the motel parking lot.

"All but one remains now. It won't be much longer." Lilith said solemnly.

"No! You can't do this!" Elliott scrambled yanking at the ropes wincing at the pain she was causing her own wrist.

"You can't stop fate little one." He stepped closer to her reaching up to brush her coppery blonde hair back.

Before Elliott could flinch away from him another wave of power pulsed through her. Much more intense than the last. She groaned loudly, the sensation overwhelming her senses. The ropes tying her to the pillar were the only thing keeping her from doubling over. The rush threw her off balance yet very aware. Her breath started coming out in pants. Ramiel's large calloused hand palmed the side of her face, holding her heavy head gently.

"Ah, that's it." Ramiel cooed. "There we go," His free hand reached out and began stroking her sweaty blonde hair. She twitched in his palm at the thrum of energy. A whimper escaped her throat. "What you're feeling, is strength little one. My blood is taking effect, washing away the last of the drugs."

"Blood?" Elliott pitched with a panting breath.

Her forehead broke out in a cold sweat but the sharp and consistent pain in her shattered wrist began to fade. Her brow furrowed when it faded to the point it was no longer even sore. Not even when she tested it, rotating her wrist in its bindings. It no longer hurt. Soon her pounding head began to follow. The hammering dwindling out peacefully.

"What did you do to me?" She whispered in awe with heavy breath.

"We made you strong enough to fulfill your destiny little one."

Fuck, she whined, he shot her up with demon blood while she was out. She shook her head in denial, but she could feel it. Shivering with disgust and bittersweet strength at the feeling of Ramiel's blood rushing through her. It breezed though her mind and cleared her head. Sending her muscles an electrical pulse, tingling under her skin.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Elliott panted looked up into his yellow eyes for answers.

"Lucifer our father has chosen you, little one. With you he can bring forth our new world." He soothed. Free hand reaching out and palming her lower belly. His thumb stroking the silk and laced dress covering her stomach.

It was anything but soothing. Too stunned to find her voice Elliott just sputtered silently. She shook her head quickly denying whatever he was claiming.

"It's time." Lilith interrupted the awkward moment giving Elliott a chance to try and think.

She was chosen by Lucifer? That couldn't be right. It didn't make sense. Why would the devil want a random hunter? She didn't think healing people could amount to anything the devil would want. There had to be a mix up. She was just Elliott Anders. Backwoods, pint sized, gun slinging hunter, and she definitely didn't belong to anyone. Too stuck in her head she didn't catch a word from the two demons saying their goodbyes. Ramiel's yellow hazy eyes caught her wide hazel ones, giving her a stiff nod before disappearing into thin air.

A cold gust brushed over them creating goosebumps along her exposed skin. The air around them changing, intensifying.

Lilith picked up a dirty rag from the alter, and turned to Elliott. The corner of her lips slightly curled upward, but the smirk didn't meet her eyes. "Sorry honey. Can't have you spoiling the show."

"No! No don't you dare! Don't- hmphazmph!" Elliott's threats were muffled by the rag being shoved between her teeth and tongue. A noise escaped her throat like a muted mixture of a whine and groan. This can't be happening, she cried out through the gag and yanked on her bindings.

Elliott stiffened in her bindings as a new demon entered from the large doorway. His eyes black, painted with a sad expression as he carried a small bowl of dark red liquid to Lilith. She watched as he handed Lilith the bowl. The blonde demon smiled softly at the other, taking the bowl gently.

"Hey now. This is a celebration." Lilith spoke in a strangely soft tone, almost like she wasn't so sure she believed her own words. "My death will be the last seal, and our father will be free. This is a reason to celebrate, not to be sad."

Wait what? Elliott stutters internally, not wanting to believe what she just heard. If Lilith's death is the final seal, the demon bitch had to stay alive. Especially if the seals were really breaking. Sam wasn't going to be happy about that. Her giant had, had the biggest death wish on the demon for what she had done to Dean. Elliott tested the ropes again, she needed to get out of her and get to the others as soon as possible. They would know what to do.

Without warning the male demon collapsed. Elliott's already shallow breathing hitched in her throat when she looked past the fallen corpse. Her heart sank in horror. The demon's plan making horrific sense at the sight of Sam. Standing tall almost taking up the entire doorway was her giant, a terrifying glare in his eyes. He's going to kill Lilith. He's going to set Lucifer free. He doesn't know.

She watches with wide eyes as he raises his hand and telepathically throws Lilith across the room. Slamming her hard on to the stone steps to the run down alter. Mentally holding her down there.

"Phaamm!" Elliott screams out through her gag. "Mhho! Grhhmph!" Sam's hazels flick towards her quickly scanning her for harm. He steps closer into the light and she can see him better. A tear runs down her cheek slowly taking him in. No longer is he a shaking tweaking mess. His eyes are dilated and his hands steady. She knows in an instant that he is hopped up on demon blood, but that is the least of their problems if kills Lilith.

"Ellie? You okay?" Sam mutters his eyes flicking to her before returning to Lilith. "Hold on baby I'm going to get you out of here. I just need to end this once and for all." Completely misinterpreting her violently shaking head.

She screams and shouts at him, pulling frantically at the ropes. This can't be happening she repeats over and over in her head. She has to stop him, has to do something.

Her muffled shouts become growling unheard threats as the familiar brunette demon steps up beside him. Elliott roars in furry behind her gag, yanking and pulling at her restraints to get to Ruby and tear her throat out. The ropes biting into her wrists, sending trickles of blood down her hands. Before it can get any worse, she can feel the raw breaking flesh closing up. Healing completely. Just in time for her frantic struggles to cut into her flesh again. Was she healing herself? She wondered in awe, remembering her no longer injured wrist again. Actual healing and not transferring? The demon blood in her system was healing her over and over as she continued to struggle. The ropes tearing the flesh on her wrists until they were bleeding and raw, only for them to close up, over and over.

Franticly Elliott looked around for any way out, or any way to warn Sam. Just out of the corner of her eye she notices a figure approaching the door. Before she can make out who or what it is, she watches Ruby turn to the figure and smile before psychically closing the heavy wooden doors. Then she turns to give Elliott a wink.

"I've been waiting for this, for a long time." Sam grumbles. The predatory way he moves closer to his prey has Elliott franticly yanking and ripping open her raw healing wrists.

"Give it your best shot." Lilith snarks right back knowingly.

"Noooo!" Elliott tries to shout and warn him. Unable to do anything but watch him stretch out his hand in the demon's direction. Lilith gasps loudly, a flickering light emitting from her eyes and mouth. Sam's normally warm and caring eyes cold and heartlessly glaring at the demon.

A familiar voice echoed around them calling out for Sam. Elliott's eyes widen with hope recognizing it as Dean.

The corner of Elliott's lip's curl up behind the gag hopefully when her giant's concentration falters. He blinks slowly turning away from Lilith to the closed door where his brother is still calling out to him. She frantically nods at him, trying to encourage him to stop what he's doing but Ruby's shouts draw him away from his brother's voice as she screams and demands that he finish Lilith now. Lilith's laughter makes him turn back to her, stealing his attention from his big brother's shouts.

"You turned not only yourself, but your bitch into a freak!" Lilith panted between laughs. "A Monster, and now you're not going to bite? That is honestly adorable." She chuckled.

Sam gritted his teeth and glared falling for the demon's taunts.

"Aahhh!" Lilith cried as he used his psychic ability to kill her. The demon began gasping and groaning for air. Light flashing through her entire body, convulsing with the power destroying her.

Elliott cried, letting an inaudible sob loose. Unable to do anything but watching her giant kill Lilith, unknowingly breaking the final seal. The tears now falling freely down Elliott's cheeks were uncontrollable. The next sob got stuck in her throat watching in horror as Sam's eyes went pitch black like a demon. The hazel galaxies over taken, now endless voids of darkness.

Stunned beyond understanding staring numbly without blinking as Lilith went listlessly. Dead, only a corpse left behind. Quickly flickering her gaze back to Sam, in time to see the black faded back to his regular hazel.

"Ellie?" Sam called out to her glazed over unblinking eyes.

It was like a turn of a switch. One moment he was a ferocious and deadly predator and the next he was her giant puppy dog eyed Sam. She looked up to him speechless as he made his way to her. He pulled the gag out gently hovering over her for a moment. Waiting for her to say something.

"Ellie? Baby, are you hurt? What'd she do to you?"

Unable to find her voice her face crumpled, distraught. When she only could gap at him, he pulled out a small knife and cut all of the ropes. Freeing her from the tight restraints.

"It's too late." Elliott breathed. She felt his hands holding her wrists, thumbs smoothing over where there should be raw and bleeding flesh but was only smooth and unharmed. It was the end of the world. She hadn't stop him. How could she even begin to tell him that? Her puffy eyes began spilling over again and she shook her head listlessly.

"Hey, hey, hey, no. No Ellie it's alright now. Baby I got you. You're safe now."

"We did it." Ruby whispered behind him, shattering into their space. "You did it." The reminder of Ruby's presences boiled Elliott's blood, bringing her voice back.

"You traitorous bitch! You tricked us!" She lunged at the demon but was halted by Sam's giant arm.

"What's going on?" He turned back and forth between the two.

"You opened his door. Now he's free." Ruby smiled triumphantly.

"No. No, I-" Sam stuttered, turning to Elliott and back worried. "I killed Lilith."

"Sam, she was the final seal." Elliott croaked, sadly. "I tried to stop it. I did, I tried. Sam-"

"Oh, god." Sam he let go of Elliott stepping back and looking like he was going to hurl. He ran his shaky fingers through his hair.

"Guess again." Ruby sung watching Lilith's blood begin to flow into a pattern along the stone floor.

"Sam?" Elliott pitched grabbing his arm. "I- I- we need to get out of here."

The hair on the back of her neck stood up and an uneasy feeling washed over her. It turned her stomach and making her breathing shallow. Her head was beginning to ache, and the hum of Ruby's boastful voice yammering on about her hard work wasn't helping. Sam's panicked denial and cursing was barley registering. It took her a second to differentiate the pounding in her head from the pounding on the large ornate wooden doors, but Elliott couldn't focus on either noise. Something was happening. Making her body tingle from her finger tips to her toes, and not in a good way.

"You lying bitch!" Sam spat throwing his hands out to use his powers. He groaned loudly and sank to his knees holding his head.

"Sam!" Elliott pushed pass her throbbing head and uneasy to kneel beside him. Her hands gently held the base of his head trying to get him to look at her. "Sam? Hey!"

"It's useless, Sam. You shot your payload on the boss." Ruby nodded to Lilith's lifeless vessel.

"The blood. You poisoned me." He stared at the demon, still on his knees.

"No, it wasn't the blood. It was you." Ruby smiled. "Your choices. I just gave you the options and you chose the right path, every time." Sam looked up at the demon wide puppy dog eyes full of betrayal.

Elliott scoffed turning away from her giant's hurt to glare at the black eyed bitch. "No, you did this."

"Don't you see? Everything Azazel and Ramiel did just to get you both here? Sam you were the only one who could do it." She reached out to Sam but took her hand back when Elliott growled and held him closer.

"Why? Why me…?"

Another shiver of unease trickled through her tingling her senses. Then before the demon could respond a strong wave of power followed the unease. It slammed into her hard, making her groan out loud. She doubled over naturally curling in on herself.

"Wha- ? Ellie!? What's wrong with her?" Sam demanded holding her to his chest as she panted and grunted. Obviously trying to hold back her groans.

"It's the demon blood. Her body is almost ready for his arrival." Ruby smiled studying the blonde with curious admiration.

"What?" Sam questioned alarm high in is tone and the way his impossibly close hold on her tightened even more. The horror of their situation somehow getting worse. "No."

The thick wooden door busted open, making her headache worse, but she was able to lift her head from Sam's chest to see Dean. He was quickly making his way to them, a scary pissed off scowl painted his face. Sam's arms squeezed Elliott once more before gently leaving her on her hands and knees as he stood up.

"You're too late." Ruby took a step back as the older Winchester got closer.

"I don't care." Dean growled. Elliott watched pushing herself up to sit and straighten herself as much as she could with the power thrumming through her veins. Ruby backed up another step right into Sam's waiting arms. He held her there as Dean closed in the last few steps. Plunging her own demon killing knife into her gut. Just like any other demon she cried out and orange light flickered through her body. Sam let the body fall lifeless as Dean pulled out the blade.

"I'm sorry…" Sam pleaded his brother above her. Then there was a defining rumble as the ground opened up radiating a beam of blinding light. She felt large hands pulling her up to her feet and away from the light.

"Sammy, lets go." Dean ordered unblinkingly at the beam of light.

"Dean…" Sam breathed holding Elliott tight unable to move. Completely frozen in fear.

"Dee, he's coming…" She whispered. As the growing light brightened her headache became worse. It felt like someone was beating her head with a hammer as the light became blinding. Washing everything out around them in white.
