《Running with the wolves (Supernatural x Wolfblood) BOOK 1》Chapter 28
Advertisement
We all went back to salting the doors and windows and making even more Devils traps just to be sure. I then heard a door open and close fast and a very out-of-breath Dean yelling; "They're coming!"
Pausing for a moment, we all saw the cloud of smoke approaching us fast from the outside. I heard Nancy scream, followed by Dean shouting: "Hurry!" I finished the Devils trap as fast as I could, while still getting all of the sigils right.
Then as soon as it was done, I sprinted towards the others in the main area. I quickly picked up one of the guns from my backpack and a salt round, reading myself for the possible attack.
As the cloud of smoke incased the entire building, it went completely dark. No lamps, no streetlights, nothing and so did we. We all fell quiet.
You could hear it struggling to get in, even tiny bits of debris falling from the ceiling, but getting stopped by the salt. Imagine being a demon and a condiment is what stands in the way of victory. I would hate it.
And just as quick as the cloud had arrived, it realized it's defeat, for now at least, and disappeared to plan it's next attack.
"Everybody okay?" Sam spoke up as the first.
A murmur of agreement sounded throughout the room, as Dean started digging threw his duffle bag.
"All right, everyone needs to put these on." He handed out the small charms to everyone. "It will keep you from being possessed."
"So what about you and Sam?" Nancy asked, when she had put hers on.
Sam and Dean pulled down their shirts at the collars slightly to show a tattoo of an anti-possession symbol.
"Smart." Henrikson commented. "How long have you had those?"
"Not long enough." Sam answered, before I handed back the necklace to Dean.
"What are you doing?" Dean questioned and furrowed his brows.
"I don't need it." I stated, being slightly confused by their reaction. "I have my own."
"What?" Sam and Dean asked in sync.
"My necklace." I answered slowly and lifted it up. "It fights off demon possession."
"Why didn't you tell us?" Sam asked confused.
"I did." I said even more confused. "On that witch case."
"No, you didn't." Sam argued.
"I didn't?" I frowned.
"No." They said once again in sync.
"Sorry, I thought I had." Then I realized something. "Wait, so when we were on that case, you didn't think to give me a protection charm?"
They shared a look, that basically said; 'oh shit'.
"We didn't know, it was a demon until after Ruby and then we-" Sam tried to defend.
"You two had a fight." I crossed my arms with a smirk on my face. "Again."
"It was your first full moon with us." Dean tried. "Bear with us."
"Of course, I just like to a annoy you." I chuckled.
With Dean and Henrikson preparing rounds, I walked with Nancy to inspect the saltlines.
"Hey, that's Jenna Rubner." Nancy suddenly said. I looked up and saw, what looked to be some of the citizens of Monument.
"That's not Jenna anymore." I concluded after seeing her black eyes.
"That's where all that black demon smoke went?" She questioned.
"Looks like it." I mumbled.
"How can you be so calm about this?" She then asked taking me slightly by surprise. "I mean, you're fifteen, and you talk like this is everyday for you."

"Because it has become that." I sighed as we walked to another window.
"What do you mean?"
"I've been with Sam and Dean for some months now." I almost chuckled at how the next part was going to sound. "Trust me, you get used to it."
"Where do you know Sam and Dean from?" She asked and then quickly backpedaled real quick, when I shot her a confused glare. "If it's not too personal."
"No, it's fine." I smiled to confirm it. "I met them some months ago, after I escaped from capture by other hunters." I saw the look of sympathy in her eyes. "It took a little to trust them and get me to trust them, but we did, and now they are getting me back home to my pack in California."
"Your pack?" She asked almost in awe.
"Yeah, my pack." I smiled. "I live in a big forest with other Wolfbloods like me. My brother, Varga, is the alpha, and all of my friends are there. I even have two younger siblings. Or well they aren't technically blood related but they have been with us, since they were two." I thought back to Sam and Dean. "Well, all of my friends expect for those idjits out there."
"What are their names?"
"Gwen and Gadwick." I chuckled. "They are ten and waiting for me to get home."
Then we heard the sound of a window breaking and I ran to the room, it came from, only to see to a familiar face.
"Hey, puppy." A sickly sweet voice sounded.
"Hey, Ruby." I greeted sarcastically right when Sam, Dean and Henrikson came rushing in.
"How do we kill her?" Henrikson asked.
"We don't." Sam quickly stepped forward.
"She is a demon." Henrikson said in slight puzzle, when Sam lowered his gun.
"She is here to help us." Sam said as he walked to her.
"Are you kidding?" I heard Amici say assuming him and Nancy had arrived.
"I wish, he was." I mumbled low enough for me hear it only. By the sigh, Dean let out from behind me, he thought the same thing.
"You're gonna let me out?" She asked more out of breath than before. Sam crouched down and scraped some of the painting off with his knife.
"And they say, chivalry is dead." Ruby said before exiting the trap. "Have someone got a breath mint? Some gut splattered in my mouth, when I was killing my way in here."
She walked right out, when Dean and I gave Sam an equally frustrated look, before going after her.
"How many are out there?" Dean asked as we reached the mainroom.
"Thirty at least." She leaned against a table. "That's so far."
"Oh good." Dean snarked sarcastically. "Thirty. Thirty hitmen all gunning for us. Who sent 'em?" He asked as the others rejoined us.
"You didn't tell Dean?" Ruby looked to Sam. "Or the pup? Huh, I'm surprised."
"Tell me what?" Dean and I demanded.
"There is a big new up and comer." Ruby answered only looking at Sam. "A real pied piper."
"Who is he?" Dean asked.
"Not he." Ruby turned towards us. "Her. Her name is Lillith."
"Lillith?" Dean said with following right after.
"Ans she really, really wants Sam's intestines on a stake." Ruby said in her usual 'I-dont-care' tone. "I guess, she sees him as competition."

"You knew about this?" Dean asked Sam, properly already knowing the answer. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I don't care, he didn't tell me, but Dean? Dean is his brother, who deserved to know. "Well, geez, is there anything else, I should know?"
"How about the two of you talk about this later?" Ruby suggested. "We'll need the Colt."
"Oh oh." I couldn't help myself, which along with Sam and Dean's reactions seemed to tell Ruby something.
"Where is the Colt?" She asked with an almost desperate voice.
"It got stolen." Sam admitted.
"I'm sorry, I must have blood in my ear." She swiftly replied. "I thought, I just heard you say that you were stupid enough to let the Colt get grabbed out of your thick, clumsy, idiotic hands."
Sam and Dean looked almost like two kids getting scolded for breaking something.
"Fantastic." Ruby hissed. "This is just peachy."
"Ruby-"
"Shut up." She quickly shot Sam down. "Fine. Since I don't see that there is any other option, there is one other way, I know to get you out of here alive."
"What's that?" Dean questioned.
"I know spell." She answered.
"Oh from your witchy days?" I sighed.
She shot me a death glare, before continuing. "It will erase every demon in a one mile radius. Myself included. So, you let the Colt outta your sight, and now I have to die."
"You're saying it, like its a bad thing." I couldn't help but smirk.
"Watch out, Wolfie or I might take you out of the rescue plan." She sneered.
"Good luck with that." I replied.
"So next time be more careful. How's that for a dying wish?" She changed the subject instead.
A silence fell upon us all in the room. I honestly still didn't mind the thought that Ruby died. The weepy story, she told Dean, doesn't work on me. I can feel there is something off about her, I just can't quite put my finger on it.
"Okay." Dean said breaking the silence. "What do we need to do?"
"Urh. You can't do anything." She smirked. "The spell is very specific. It calls for a person of virtue."
"I got virtue." He argued.
"Dean, she means a virgin." I cleared, as Dean just started laughing slightly.
"Nobody is a virgin." Dean said.
"Dean?" I shook my head of the sheer stupidity. "I'm fifteen."
Before Dean could say anything to me, the others started looking at Nancy, who started to squirm under the attention.
"No. No way." Dean said in awe as he realized what they meant. "You're kidding me. You-"
"What?" Nancy argued. "It's a choice, okay?"
"Wait, so you've never...?" Dean couldn't fathom it. "Not even once? I mean not even? Wow."
"You see, Dean? Not everyone lives your lifestyle." I smirked. "So you got not just one, but two virgins here."
"The spell." Nancy continued. "What can I do?"
"You can hold still, while I cut your heart out of your chest." Ruby revealed.
"What?" Nancy and I said in sync.
"Wow, are you crazy?" Dean asked.
"I'm offering a solution." Ruby argued.
"You're offering to kill somebody." He fired back.
"And what do you think is gonna happen to this girl, when the demons get in?" She yelled.
"We are gonna protect her, thats what we are gonna do?" Henrikson chimed in.
"Very noble." She snarked.
"Excuse me?" Nancy tried in the background.
"You're all gonna die." Ruby argued. "Look, this is the only way."
"Yeah, there is no way, that you can-"
"Will everybody please shut up?" Nancy interrupted Dean, which made me glance to her. I didn't know she had it in her. "All the people out there? Will it safe them?"
"It will blow the demons out of their bodies, so if their bodies are okay, yeah." Ruby answered.
"I'll do it." Nancy said.
"No, Nancy." I went over to her. "I will do it."
"Leona, what are you doing?" Dean hissed.
"I'm a virgin too." I looked to Ruby. "Take my heart and do the ritual."
"No. No, you are not gonna do this." Dean looked at us. "Either of you."
"Hell no." Henrikson even said.
"All my friends are out there." Nancy argued and looked to me with a smile. "Besides, you have someone waiting for you."
"No, Nancy." I tried. "You just got into all of this. I can't let you do this."
"Leona, please." She begged.
"We don't sacrifice people." Henrikson argued. "We do that, we are no better than them."
"We don't have a choice." Ruby said.
"Yeah, well your choice is not a choice." Dean shot back.
"Sam." Ruby turned to the unusually quiet Sam. "You know, I am right."
"Sam?" Dean let a laugh at the fact, that Sam didn't immediately deny. "The hell is going on? Sam, tell her."
"It's my decision." Nancy cleared. I kept looking at her with pleading eyes, but she would botch.
"Damn straight, cherrypie." Ruby smirked.
"Stop!" Dean yelled. "Stop! Nobody kill any virgins. Sam, I need to talk to you."
They walked out into the hallway and being the curious person, I am, I listened to their conversation.
"Please tell me, you are not actually considering this." I heard Dean start. "We are talking about holding down a girl and cutting out her heart."
"And we are also talking about thirty people out there, Dean." It hurt me to hear him say that, but I knew where he came from. "Innocent people, who are all gonna die along with everyone in here."
"It doesn't mean, we throw away the rulebook and stop acting like humans." Dean argued. "I'm not gonna let that demon kill some nice, sweet, innocent girl, who hasn't even been laid. Look, if that how you win wars, then I don't win."
"Then what?" Sam argued. "What do we do, Dean?"
"I got a plan." Dean said. "I'm not saying, its a good one, I am not even saying it's gonna work, but it sure as hell beats killing a virgin."
"Okay, so what's the plan?" Sam gave in.
"Open the door, let them all in." Dean, are you nuts? "And then we fight." He had a brief pause. "Sam, I need to know."
"What do you need to know?" Sam sounded rather confused.
"If Leona had been the only virgin in that room, would you have sacrificed her?" My breath was caught in my throat.
But what shattered my heart completely was, that Sam didn't answer. I knew what that meant.
He would have killed me.
I know I offered myself up, but it hurt knowing that someone, you see as a brother, would actually do it.
