I Remember You
Chapter 3
Ruby had made it back to the motel room fairly quickly. Dean had already pulled out a local map and had pinpointed the apartment building where he hoped Sam was being held.
Dean wanted to head over to the apartment complex and stake it out right away but Ruby had other ideas.
“I get that you want to pull a Rambo and go in a guns a blazing and save the damsel, but we need to use the cover of dark to check this out. There might be other demons beside the dead girlfriend one.” Ruby said as she paced the room.
Dean rolled his eyes. “Do you think this demon looks like Jess?” Dean swallowed hard thinking of how hard it would be to take Sam’s love down, even if it was just a look-a-like.
“Uh, of course she does. I mean if Sam has amnesia she wouldn’t have to be a dead ringer.” Ruby plopped down on the bed opposite Dean popping her gum.
“Well, I’m tired of being stuck with the bitch from hell, I‘d at least like to make a plan instead of sitting here with my thumb up my ass.” Dean was so tired of just sitting and doing nothing and was fighting the urge to shove Ruby’s gum down her throat.
“Sure, we can plan, but I’m about to bring up some stuff that’s going to piss you off.” Ruby sat across for him with a smirk on her face.
“Uh yeah, when do you say things that don’t piss me off- so shoot.” Dean sighed, knowing that until he had Sam back he was stuck with his demon side-kick.
“True, and I do love watching you get flustered. Okay, so here’s the deal. Sam has amnesia so he doesn’t remember you or me. We’re going to go into the apartment gun’s a blazing and he’s gonna freak out. We need to secure him. Do you want to, or do you want me to do the honors? I wouldn’t mind ya know, I’m kind of into the whole bondage thing.” Ruby gave Dean a wink.
Dean’s stomach turned, and he felt sick. It hadn’t occurred to him that they would have to take Sam out in order to get to the demon., but Ruby was right it needed to be done.
“As much as it pains me to say this, your right. And, I think you should be the one to take Sam out because I’m the one that’s going to have to try and gain his trust when all of this is over. Just promise me that you won’t hurt him- take him down as painless as possible.” Dean voice was stern and his body tense, because if Ruby hurt Sam she would answer to him.
“Duh, he’s is the great white hope- the guy I’m backing, like I’d want to hurt him. If he has amnesia all his training is gone, it shouldn’t be hard to take Sasquatch down.” Ruby gave Dean’s shoulder a nudge and hopped up to start pacing again.
Great, this night was going to be oh so much fun!

Sam knew he was dreaming again, viewing his life from afar. This time he was watching himself and Jess get ready for a party. A Halloween party, and Jess looked sexy in her nurse’s costume. As they headed outdoors, they met up with a friend.
He watched as his dream self and the two others celebrated at a bar. From the conversation that he overheard he realized that dream Sam had gotten an interview for law school. After the bar, dream Sam and Jess headed home and the celebrating continued in the bedroom.
Sam started to awake, and realized that like in the dream, Jess was in his arms. Then he realized that she had her left hand down his boxers and was stroking his erection. His eyes flew open and he fell from the bed trying to get away.
“Sam, are you okay?” A concerned Jess peered from the bed down at the floor where Sam sat in a jumble of sheets and blankets.
“I… sorry….I need a shower.” Sam untangled himself and made a run for the bathroom.
After his shower, Sam really didn’t want to face Jess. He was embarrassed and hoped that he hadn’t hurt Jess’s feelings. She had been nothing but wonderful and he didn’t want to hurt her.
But things were happening to fast, at least to fast for Sam. In his mind, he knew he should try to move forward. He wanted to do that, but more slowly than evidently Jess did.
Sam knew he couldn’t hide in the bathroom forever so he slowly made his way out into the living room. He found Jess fully dressed and reading a book on the couch. Sam slowly lowered himself on the other end of the couch.
Jess immediately looked up from her book with a big smile on her face. “Hey sweetie, do you feel better after your shower?”
Sam felt even worse than before. She wasn’t even mad at his embarrassing tumble out of bed to get away from her. He made himself give her eye contact as he spoke.
“Yeah, I feel better. Uh look, I’m so sorry about earlier. I…” Sam knew he was turning red and stumbling over his words and before he could make a complete fool of himself, Jess spoke up.
She grabbed his left hand and took it into hers. “Baby, it’s okay. Really. I was so caught up in the moment of being with you again, and I moved things forward too fast and I’m sorry. You need us to move slowly and I promise to try and remember that. Do you forgive me?” Jess’s eyes were watery as she spoke.
Sam nodded. “Yeah, if you forgive me.” Jess smiled and nodded yes. Sam continued. “We just need to take things slowly and our lives will fall into place. In fact, I had a nice dream about us during my nap.”
“Oh Sam, you remembered me in your dream?” Jess’s face lit up and it made Sam feel better about the whole episode earlier.
“Yeah.” Sam was pleased and ready for the ecstatic hug that she gave him.

Stakeouts were never Dean’s favorite thing to do, but being stuck with a demon chick as his partner made this stakeout suck out loud.
“So, are you ready?” Dean asked just to make conversation.
“Uh yeah, got handcuffs, rope and a gag for Sam….” but before Ruby could continue Dean interrupted.
“A gag for Sam? Why?” Dean knew they needed to subdue Sam and get him out of the way, but a gag seemed a bit extreme.
“Hmm, let’s see. Sam needs a gag so he won’t throw you off your game.” Ruby huffed and crossed her arms.
“I still don’t get it.” Dean had had it with Ruby and her vague references.
“Alright short bus, I’ll explain it so that you will understand. How the hell are you supposed to concentrate on the job of taking care of the demon if your little brother is in the corner pleading for you to stop? Those puppy dog eyes are bad enough and at least you can turn away from his pleading eyes, but that voice of his will get to you. The voice that has always been able to get you to do anything he asks, that would throw you off your game, right?” Ruby stared at him smugly.
“Alright, you made your point, Wicked Witch of the East, but I want you to be …” Dean was ready to hit Ruby when she interrupted again.
“I know I will gently gag him, promise!” Ruby rolled her eyes and huffed.
“You better not hurt him!” Dean responded.
Ruby turned around from her corner in the passenger seat of the Impala to face Dean. “So we secure Sam, then secure the demon. Play good cop- bad cop. And head out. I’ll go after the other demons and you get Sam to somewhere safe.”
“Sounds about right. And since the apartment has been quiet, hopefully we’ll be able to pull this off without any company. So we give it another hour and charge into the apartment?” Dean wished they could just go now, but knew they needed it to be late enough not to attract attention.
“Yeah, hopefully it'll go down without a hitch.” Ruby said as she turned back around.

The evening had passed pretty well. Jess was still kicking herself for moving to quickly for Sam. It was hard though because he was the boy king, so powerful and attractive, but she should've known that Sam would need sometime before he totally opened up to her. He was the caring and sharing type, and getting in his pants was not going to win her any brownie points.
They had had a nice dinner and were watching a movie, when she noticed Sam was drifting off.
“Baby, why don’t we head to bed? You’re looking tired.” Jess gave him her best concerned look.
Sam yawned and nodded. “Yeah, I’m beat.” He slowly rose from the couch and walked stiffly back to the bedroom.
Jess hated that the drugs were still taking a toll on Sam’s body. She hoped that he would gain his strength back soon, so that he would be ready for his conversion.
She followed Sam to bed and looked forward to a quiet night.
Sam had drifted off and Jess had cuddled up to him, when there was a loud noise at the front door. She quickly jumped up from the bed and headed towards the living room.
There standing in the middle of the room was Ruby, and wasn’t that a bitch.

Sam was brought out of sleep by a loud noise and then, he felt Jess leave the bed. “Jess, wait.”
Sam struggled to get up off the bed, cursing his weakened state. As he approached the living room, Jess was yelling at another blond woman and there was a man standing in the doorway behind her. Both had weapons pointed at Jess.
The blond pointed the gun at Sam while the man approached Jess with the knife. Sam tried to grab Jess and pull her away but the blond was on him quickly and she took him to the ground.
The blond spoke. “Okay Sam, stay put and nobody gets hurt.”
Sam couldn’t understand why this woman knew his name, and then he got a good look at the male who had now wrestled Jess into his arms and held a knife at her throat.
“D-Dean?” Sam’s voice was shaky as he tried to make sense of the scene in front of him. His dead brother, whom he had only sketchy memories of, was holding a knife to his girlfriend. How was this possible?
“Sammy, I know this is hard to understand, but do as you're told and everything will be okay.” Dean spoke in a calm voice with a look of concern which confused Sam even more.
Jess looked at him with eyes wide with fear. “Sam this isn’t your brother, it’s someone who wants to hurt us.”
Sam watched as Dean’s expression turned deadly. “Shut up bitch, or I’ll end it now. You know Ruby’s knife will kill you.”
Sam started to stand. “No, don’t hurt her.” In a rush of adrenaline Sam leapt up from his spot on the floor with the intention of grabbing the blond’s gun, but the quick rise from the floor gave him a head rush. Sam missed his target, and felt his right arm pulled behind him in a tight grip. The blond had a hold of him and was far stronger than she looked. That or he was still suffering so much from the head injury he was rendered almost an invalid. She moved him over to the kitchen area.
Pulling out a kitchen chair she forced Sam into it. “Sit down Sam and do as we say and no one will get hurt.”
Sam felt like he had little choice so he sat down. The girl that Dean had referred to as Ruby, grabbed his hands and cuffed them behind him. She then took a rope and secured each ankle to the chair.
“Open up Sammy.” Sam did as he was told and a gag was placed into his mouth. The whole time he kept his eyes glued to Jess, willing that they wouldn’t hurt her.
Sam watched as Dean handed Jess over to Ruby along with the knife. He then pulled out a can of paint and moved to the hardwood floor of the kitchen and started painting weird symbols there. Once done he sat a chair in the middle and Ruby handed Jess back over and Dean placed her in the chair. Securing her there.
Sam was frightened and was beginning to think that Jess was right, that this Dean was not his brother. Why would his brother be doing such a thing?
Dean stood looking down at Jess and spoke. “Okay, now the fun begins!”
