How Are You Alive (Dean Winchester Love Story Book 4)

Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Sometimes I get anxious and fixate on how I wish that I could

Be less apprehensive and start pretending like

The time's not catching up with me

Before I'm ready

Cause I have so much left I wanna finish

With no guarantee that

Everything I'm chasing won't outpace me

It's a race that I'm so scared of losing

So I keep moving

Worth It by Beth Crowley

3RD POV

~CHUCK'S HOUSE – NIGHT~

Chuck is on the phone with what appears to be an escort service. He is paciong in his kitchen. The document on his computer screen reads Supernatural Lucifer Rising by Carver Edlund.

"Oh, yeah? Really? At the same time? Really?" Wow. T-that sounds...moist." Chuck smirks. "Well, it can be." The girl on the line giggles. "Uh, what are your rates?" Chuck asks. "We can get you one girl, one hour $1,000." The woman says.

"Okay. Then, uh, I'll take 20 girls for the whole night." He says. "I'm not sure you can afford that." She says. "Lady, sometimes you got to live like there's no tomorrow." Cuck tries to smooth talk her.

Dean walks in and Chuck looks over shocked. "Wait, T-t-this isn't supposed to happen." Chuck shakily says. "Sir?" The lady asks. "No, lady, this is definitely supposed to happen, but I just got to call you back." Chuck says into the phone and hangs up.

~ST. MARY'S CONVENT – NIGHT~

Lilith has acquired a number of demonic minions and is setting up something ritual-like at the altar. A minion approaches her nervously, holding a chalice full of blood. He hands it to her and looks down. She smiles at him. "Don't be afraid. We're going to save the world." Lilith says.

"Don't be afraid. We're going to save the world." Lilith smiles and he walks away. There is a sudden deep rumbling noise. When she turns back, all of the minions that had been lining the hallway have collapsed to the ground. Around the corner, Sam appears, stalking forward deliberately. Lilith raises her hand shutting the doors before Sam can enter the room.

DEAN'S POV

~CHUCK'S HOUSE – NIGHT~

"St. Mary's? What is that, a convent?" I ask. "Yeah, but you guys aren't supposed to be there. You're not in this story." Chuck says. "Yah, well..." Dean trails off. "I'm making this up as I go." Dean says, suddenly the computer screen flickers as a great rumbling begins, accompanied by a blinding white light. "Aw man! Not again! No!" Chuck yells in anger.

Castiel and Skye appear. "It's the archangel." Skye screams. "I'll hold him off! I'll hold them all off! Just stop Sam!" Castiel yells and then claps.

~ST. MARY'S - NIGHT~

Skye and I appear in an empty part of the convent, I look around and then look at Skye. "What the hell is going on? Where were you?!" I yell.

3RD POV

~CHUCK'S HOUSE~

Castiel and Chuck stand side by side to face what comes. Chuck places a hand on Castiel's shoulder causing Castiel to look at him. Chuck drops his hand in embarrassment.

SKYE'S POV

~ST. MARY'S~

We run towards the door where Sam is, watching him enter. I watch as I see him fling his hand, flinging Lilith across the room, slamming her into the altar and the doors shut behind him. We run up the steps banging on the doors. "Sam!" I yell. "I've been waiting for this...for a very long time." I hear Sam yell inside the Convent. "Then give me your best shot." Lilith yells. "Sam!" Dean and I yell, we stop banging as the doors open, Sam is facing us.

"Dean? Skye?" He asks, looking at us in confusion. "What are you waiting for?! Now! Sam, NOW!" Ruby yells at him. "You turned yourself into a freak. A monster. And now you're not gonna bite? I'm sorry, but that is honestly adorable." Lilith laughs.

Sam raises his hand again, lifting her up and hurling her against the altar again. She convulses several times, her body starts flickering and she suddenly goes limp. "Oh no." I whisper, Dean grabs my hand squeezing it. Blood starts to pour out of Lilith's body in a stream in deliberate direction. "What the hell?" I ask. "I can't believe it." Ruby squeals. "Ruby what's going on?" Sam asks. "You did it. I mean, it was a little touch-and-go there for a while, but...you did it." Ruby smiles. "What? What did he do?" Dean asks in anger letting go of my hand and stepping in front of me.

"He opened the door. Lucifer is free." I tell him. "He's free at last!" Ruby yells in excitement. "No. No, he...Lilith...I stopped her. I killed her!" Sam yells in anger. "And it is written that the first demon shall be the last seal. And you bust her open." Ruby smirks. "Now guess who's coming to diner." Ruby giggles. "Oh, my god." Sam cries. "Guess again." She licks her lips.

"You don't even know how hard this was! All the demons out for my head. No one knew. I was the best of those sons of bitches! The most loyal! Not even Alastair knew! Only Lilith! Yeah, I'm sure you're a little angry right now, but, I mean, come on, Sam! Even you have to admit...I'm...I'm awesome." Ruby laughs. "You bitch! You lying bitch!" Sam yells as he thrusts his hands at her, trying to use his powers, but he drops, clutching his head. "Sam?!" I yell in concern. "Don't hurt yourself, Sammy. It's useless. You shot your payload on the boss." Ruby says. "The blood...You poinsed him!" I yell at her.

"No. It wasn't the blood. It was Sam...and his choices. I just gave him the options, and he chose the right path every time. He didn't need the feather to fly, Sam had it in him the whole time, Idiot. I know it's hard to see it now...but this is a miracle. So long coming. Everything Azazel did, and Lilith did. Just to get him here. And he was the only one who could do it." Ruby says.

"Why? Why me?" Sam cries looking up at her. "Because it had to be you. Sammy. It always had to be you. You saved me. You set him free. And he's gonna be grateful. He's gonna repay you in ways that you can't even imagine." Ruby smiles. Dean draws his knife. "It's too late." Ruby says. "I don't care." Dean growls as he advances towards Ruby. Sam get's up and grabs a hold of Ruby, holding her in place as Dean stabs her. She flickers with light, then crumples to the floor, dead.

"I'm sorry." Sam cries to Dean and I. I look down and watch as Lilith's blood has finished its pattern on the floor. A brilliant white light shoots up from the central point of the pattern and the convent begins to tremble. "We need to go." I say running over to Dean and Sam. I help Dean to lift Sam. "He's coming." Sam says.
