Escaping Hell

Highway to Hell

I disobeyed Lucifer, and so I am being punished for it.

I'm back in my old chains, and I am being burned with a red hot piece of metal. Some demon is doing it, presumably because Lucifer has better things to do. My bleeding is instantly cauterized by the burning of the metal, so I am left with awful red marks and searing pain.

I was not drugged this time (with what I found out was a truth serum), and that means that the pain is worse. When I am through being punished, I am forced back into my room. The mahogany furniture once looked beautiful, but something has changed.

I have changed.

"Those Winchester boys are what got you into this mess," Lucifer says behind me. I didn't hear him come in.

"How?" I ask, genuinely curious.

"It all began when they brought you in. They told you that I'm a bad person. Lucy, I'm just doing my job. I take people who have done bad things to Hell, it's as simple as that. But, you, my dear, were always meant to be Queen of Hell. Those boys? They told you that you were one of them. A hunter. You are one of us, and you have always been one of us. The discipline that I've been giving you? I'm purging you of your Winchester-like thoughts," Lucifer explains. I'm actually quite astonished at how much sense it makes.

"I see," I agree.

"By the way," Lucifer adds, leaving the room once again, "We're paying them a little visit tomorrow."

Sam. Dean. Cas.

I'll be able to see them.

But they abandoned you. I think. They left you for dead. It's been five months, Lucy. Five months! They still haven't helped you! They don't care! They never did!

What do I do now?

DEAN POV

All of us are on edge. We haven't had much sleep since we found out that Lucy is alive, and coming for us. Cas is guarding the door right now, and I anxiously hold my gun and Ruby's demon-killing knife. Sam is tapping away on his stupid computer, trying to research something, probably. I don't know what he could possibly be researching that's relevant, but as long as it keeps him busy, that's okay.

Cas speaks up after a few days of near silence, "Get ready. Lucifer is coming; I can sense it."

"Does he have Lucy with him?" I ask.

"Yes," Cas answers, now wielding his angel blade.

"Everyone ready?" Sam asks. Cas and I nod, prepared to kill some bastards.

I can hear footsteps, and they're getting closer. Sounds like maybe ten people.

Everything is silent and tense.

Then, the door comes flying off its hinges. Six demons barge in, followed by Lucifer and Lucy. Sam and I get busy killing the demons, while Cas and Hannah are supposed to stuff Lucifer back in his cage.

I stab a demon with the knife, killing it instantly. Then, another one of those sons of bitches grabs my neck from the back, but I stab it in the stomach, killing that one as well. Sam has killed three, leaving only two demons. One of them jumps and kicks Sam in the face, knocking him to the ground. I grab the demon and smash her face into a wall before killing her as well. Helping Sam up, the last demon tries to smoke out as a last resort, but we kill it before it can.

Sam and I made the mistake of thinking that the fighting was over. Lucy throws me into a wall with her powers, and when Sam tries to restrain her, she pins him to the floor.

"None of this wouldn't have happened if I never went with you boys in the first place," Lucy says. I can't get out of her telekinetic grip.

"Lucy, listen to me. Lucifer has messed with your mind. Please, let us go so we can help you!" Sam pleads.

"Why? You didn't help me!" Lucy yells back.

"Because you're our sister," I reply.

"I don't care! Family has never helped me! I was raised in a broken home without love, and then this family is just filled with demon hunters! Demons are just doing their job, guys. They've been helpful to me," Lucy says.

"We have been helpful, Lucy, you just don't remember!" Sam tries to reason.

"I remember being hated and tortured. That's all that matters now," she says as Cas appears behind her. Oh thank god, they got Lucifer back in his cage. Cas grabs Lucy, and she tries to wrestle away, but Cas can resist her powers. Lucy then loses consciousness, and falls to the floor.

She is worse than I thought.
