A Very Divine Intervention

Lazarus Rising

Dean was running with Sam and Ruby behind him, trying to get to his bag before the hellhound got to him. He dug through his belongings before he found what he was looking for. As soon as he had poured it on the floor by the door, the pounding stopped. Sam looked down at his brother, relief in his eyes as Dean's eyes widened. He bolted for the window, pouring a generous amount of the dust onto the windowsill.

Ruby narrowed her eyes on the bag before she turned to Sam, holding out her hand "Give me the knife, maybe I can fight it off."

Sam frowned at her in confusion "What?"

"Come on," Ruby rolled her eyes "That dust won't last forever."

Dean turned around and looked at them for a moment. Just when Sam was about to hand the knife to Ruby, he gasped "Wait," he called out. Sam turned around to Dean, the knife clutched in his hands.

"You wanna die?" Ruby challenged her hands on her hips.

"Sam, that's not Ruby," Dean told his brother urgently, keeping his eyes on the demon "It's not Ruby."

Sam turned back to Ruby who flung him into the wall behind him, pinning him against it with a malicious smirk. He dropped the knife, causing it to fall to the floor. Once he was taken care of, not-Ruby turned, hitting Dean hard. Dean grunted as he landed on top of a table "How long you been in here?" he demanded.

"Not long," Ruby – or rather Lilith shrugged, her expression changing into something more childlike. She glanced down at the body as she spoke "But I like it. It's all grown up and pretty."

Sam's eyes widened as Lilith's eyes turned white "Where's Ruby?"

Lilith turned to him "She was a very bad girl, so I sent her far, far away." She tilted her head step by step, causing her neck to crunch with every movement.

"You know," Dean spoke up, his face twisted in a grimace "I should have seen it before... but you all look alike to me."

Lilith stared at him before her head snapped over to Sam "Hello, Sam," she said, making her way over to him slowly "I've wanted to meet you for a very long time." She grabbed his chin, forcing his head up to face her. Once he was in the right position, she leaned down to kiss him, their lips sizzling as they met "Your lips are soft."

Sam moved his head up and to the side, trying to shake her off "Right, so you have me. Let my brother go."

"Silly goose," Lilith grinned "You wanna bargain, you have to have something that I want. You don't."

Dean clenched his jaw at the sight of Lilith harassing his brother "So, is this your big plan, huh? Drag me to hell. Kill Sam and then what? Become Queen Bitch?"

"I don't have to answer to puppy chow," Lilith told him. She moved away from Sam, glaring at Dean as she moved over to the door. Dean fought against her hold on him, watching as she grabbed hold of the door handle, smirking at him "Sic 'em, boy."

Sam's head snapped to Dean as Lilith pulled the door open, the dust being blown away. The hellhound from before charged forward, running at Dean on the table "No," Sam cried out as the hound pulled Dean by his legs, ripping him apart "Stop."

Lilith just looked over at Sam who had gotten to his feet by now before glancing down at Dean who was struggling against the hellhound.

"Stop it," Sam screamed "No." Dean flipped onto his back still screaming in pain, the hound slashing his chest "No. Stop it." Blood was pouring out of Dean's chest as he quieted down, his movement becoming sluggish "No."

Lilith smiled at Dam "Yes." She held out her hand, a white light erupting from it. As it built, Sam turned his head away. He backed against the wall, huddling himself into a small ball. When nothing happened, he carefully lowered his hands, frowning at Lilith. She stared at him in fear, holding out her hand when he rose to his feet "Back." Sam took a deep breath, starting towards her "I said, back."
