He finds her in the cabin a day later. He’s gotten away from Dean to go and see. Go and find out. Go and make sure.
“I wondered when you’d come here,” she says. She’s lying on the sofa, ice on her stomach.
Sam walks in, slowly. “How’d you know I was here?”
“I knew you were here when you were still three miles away.” She shrugs. “It’s a demon thing.” She sits up straight. “You okay?”
He shakes his head, sits on the table in front of her and looks into her eyes. “I need to know.”
“Know what?” she asks.
“Are you okay?” He reaches out, touches her stomach where there was all that blood before.
She lifts her top. It’s now just a bruise. A big, spreading, purple and black bruise. But just a bruise. No evidence of the cuts and slashes and hacks... Sam feels sick just thinking about it. “It’ll be gone by morning,” she says, quietly. “As if I never got tortured to protect an angel.” She spits the word.
Sam strokes his hand over the bruise. “I have to know,” he says.
“What?”
“Did you ever consider it?” He looks up, meets her eyes. “Telling the truth? Giving in to him?”
She stares back into his, dark brown - almost black - meeting green. “Yes.”
Sam swallows.
“But then I thought of you and it was worth it not to.” She reaches out, strokes his fringe from his face so she can see into his eyes easier.
Then he kisses her and the pain of the last few days just fall away.
