AL&AD

Darkness.
Darkness was the last thing Lexi remembered before opening her eyes to see a young Winchester getting the snot kicked out of him by a trucker.
Memories came flooding back to her as she assessed the situation.
Good guys: Me and Sam, both currently tied to chairs with good-strength ropes in knots.
Bad guys: Two demons in trucker form, bulky, difficult to over power.
Motive as to why they're keeping us here: Not a fucking clue.
Situation Assessed.
Conclusion: We're screwed.
"Sam..." Lexi choked out. Her throat felt like sandpaper. Sam was tied up in a chair about seven feet in front of her, and three feet to the left. Just enough to so that she could see his bleeding features. The trucker currently bludgeoning Sam looked up. He was about 5'10" with graying brown hair covered by a mesh trucker hat that had a worn out "Waffle Hut" patch across the front of it. He looked to Lexi with deep black eyes and grinned, showing his own yellowing human teeth. Somehow, the fact that his smile was so human made the whole situation worse.
"Hey, Sal!" He shouted with a husky southern accent, "Looks like the pretty one's awake!"
From the shadows in the corner of the room came another man with black eyes, presumably, Sal.
He whistled, taking a long look at Lexi, looking somewhat impressed. "Took you long enough! Me and Georgie here took bets. I owe ya five bucks, Georgie. I really didn't think she'd wake up."
"Why?" Lexi choked out.
"Well, I think my buddy here hit you a little too hard. That, plus the drugs could put people a bad place. You're lucky you woke up at all!"
"No!" Lexi said, frustrated, "That's not what I was asking! Why are you beating on Sam? At least avoid his face. A dislocated nose might take away from his natural attractiveness!"
Sam's face contorted into some combination of surprise, confusion, and flattery. The demon captures looked impressed with themselves. Lexi was mentally slapping herself in the face, What the hell was that, Lexi? "Wait," she said aloud, "What drugs?"
Sal strolled over to her while Georgie looked at Sam, then faced the huntress.
"The kinda drugs that make you tell the truth, darlin'." the Waffle Hut demon said, now giving her his full attention. Sam wiggle his hands, showing you the knot that was confining him. Amateurs. Lexi thought, as she could easily identify the knot they had used.
"Why me and not him?" Lexi asked, throwing the demon's attention to Sam, who was still looking at Lexi as she mouthed HANDCUFF KNOT. Sam nodded and looked to the demons just in time to get their answer.
"Oh, honey," Sal said, "You've been out for a while. We already got all the info we needed from Moose over there." Moose? Oh my god, he does look like a moose! "The drugs in his body have already worn out. Yours are just now kicking in. The boss is gonna be happy when he hears we got one of the Winchesters and one of their pets."
"Who's the boss?" Lexi asked, though she was trying to keep her mouth closed.
"Who else?" Sal said, "Crowley."
"I don't know who that is." Don't tell them that, Lexi, jeez.
Sal looked to her with a flicker of doubt. "Crowley is the king of Hell, honey. We've been looking out for the Winchesters cuz they've been quiet a little too long. And now, that we've figured out what you were after, I'm sure he won't mind we took a few vacation days."
"So he doesn't know you have us here?" Lexi asked, a plan forming in her mind.
"Nope," Georgie said, looking impressed with himself. Sal slapped his shoulder.
"Don't tell them that ya dope!"
"Sorry,"
"Well now it's your turn." Sal smiled evilly at Lexi, "I'm going to ask you a few questions and you're going to answer them. Okay?"
"Okay." Dammit. Lexi thought.
"What's your name?"
"Lexi"
"Is that your full name?"
Say yes. Say yes. Say yes. "No." Dammit.
"What's your full name, then?"
Say something stupid. Say Reginald. Say Katie. Say anything except, "Alexis." Dammit!
The demons only smiled at each other. Lexi buckled in for another series of questions she didn't want to answer. Focusing hard, she didn't think about the questions she was being asked, but instead, the letters in the words in the questions. Her eyes closed as another statement was appointed to her.
"How long have you been the Winchester's bitch?"
In her mind, she felt the correct answer, about two weeks, and the words started to erupt from her throat. However, before the syllables passed her lips, she caught herself. "About two... months."
Sam looked confused, but Lexi wasn't looking. She was too busy focusing on the demons.
"How long have you been hunting demons like us?" Georgie asked.
Again, Lexi centered her mind on the lie she was about to attempt.
"Since I was ten years old and one of you killed my sister." Okay, Lexi thought, not a complete lie, but still, pretty good.
"Sammy here said something about how special you are." Sal said, "What'd he mean?"
"Well, I don't know what he meant by special. Do you mean like special like mentally retarded? Cuz I'm not that. I have like ADHD and stuff but nothing as severe as that. If you mean special like unique, I guess I am. When I was little I used to go to this music festival every year and whenever they picked someone from the audience they always picked me. I don't know why, they just said I was special. So that could be what he was talking about. He might mean like special like attractive, but I don't think that's what he meant cuz he's way hotter than I am. I mean like waaaaay hotter. Like, yeah, I'm cute and everything but there's nothing beyond that. I'm way too tall for a girl and I weigh too much and whenever I smile I get a dimple. Not dimples. A single dimple on the left side of my face, see?" Lexi smiled and the demons looked shocked by the amount of information coming out of her. They shrugged and stepped closer, but before they could ask anything else, Waffle Hut yelled and faded to ash, followed by Sal.
Sam stood behind them with the demon knife in his hand and rope still tied around one of his wrists.
Lexi smiled, "Thank God! I wasn't sure how much longer I could talk for! Well, knowing me, probably quite a bit longer. What kind of knife was that?" she asked, still obviously being affected by the drug.
"It's a demon knife. One of the only things on earth that can kill a demon." Sam smirked as he rushed behind Lexi to untie her.
"That's sexy." Sam finished untying Lexi and gave her an odd look. "That's what I meant!" another look from Sam and Lexi spoke again, "I meant 'That's NOT what I meant'."
As Lexi stood, she yawned, causing Sam to yawn too. "Damn," Lexi said, "You're even hot when you yawn! WAIT NOT I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THAT dammit." Sam just laughed.
"Come on, luckily they were alone and haven't told anybody. We should get going."
Once they got to the car, Sam and Lexi stayed silent for a while. After about an hour passed, Sam broke the silence. "How did you do it?"
Lexi was half asleep as the adrenaline rush had worn off, "How did I do what?"
"Not tell the truth. You did it twice. You've only been hunting with us a few weeks, but you told them a few months. And demons didn't kill your sister, or at least, that you know of, and anyway, you were seven when that happened..."
"Damn you have a good memory," Lexi mumbled wistfully, "SORRY I guess the drugs are still wearing off."
"Okay, but how did you do it?"
"What? Lie? I don't know. I just focused. I didn't think it was that difficult. Why? Couldn't you?"
"No. You were out the entire time they were questioning me, but I tried to lie and I couldn't."
"Hm. Guess I'm just stronger than you." Sam smiled, but Lexi wasn't finished yet, "Mentally, I mean. Physically, you win. I mean, seriously, I can see your muscles through your fifty thousand layers! GODDAMMIT LEXI WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING!?"
The fact that Lexi had said all of that out loud left Sam laughing for the next five minutes.
"You should get some sleep," Sam said, "Before you start telling me the story of how you lost your virginity." Sam continued to laugh, but was punched by Lexi.
"There's no way I'm telling you about August Linet from North Dakota when I was 18! DAMMIT SONOVABITCH i hate you." Lexi crossed her arms while Sam pulled the car over. He decided it was probably best to not be driving while he was laughing so hard he couldn't see straight. Lexi's face was bright red when Sam got back in the car.
"Go to sleep, Lexi. I'll wake you up when we get to a motel." Sam was still smiling. Lexi almost said something, but thought better of it. Sam took off one of his jackets and threw it to her. She balled it up and used it as a pillow.

Sam had decided to continue driving until they were about a quarter of the way to Oregon. Once he started to feel tired, he pulled over at a motel and got one room with two beds. Lexi had slept all the way there and was still sleeping in the passenger's side of the Impala when Sam emerged from the lobby with a room key. Sam smiled and opened up the door closest to Lexi. Picking her up bridal style, she only stirred a little bit, muttering something like "I can do it by myself" and then fell back to sleep in his arms. He walked her into the room and set her down on one of the beds. Lexi opened her eyes a bit and smiled. "Thank you... moose." she faded back to sleep.
"Anytime, blondie."
