He only had one thought on his mind now - Lilith.

Part 6
Sam pulled the Impala up to the curb and killed the engine, his eyes focused on the building less than half a block away. He fully expected Lilith to set up residence in some sort of a mansion. So now, sitting across from what looked like an abandoned warehouse, he couldn’t help but think that the demon managed to resist his control and lie to him. There was only one way to know for sure, though.
Sam got out of the car and slowly made his way toward the building, thankful for the cloudy skies that hid the moon and the darkness that provided him with ample coverage. Sam moved slowly, making sure that he wasn’t noticed. His biggest ally right now was the element of surprise. Even more important was making sure that nobody had a chance to warn Lilith.
He could sense them as he got closer - whether Lilith was inside or not, he didn’t know, but there were definitely demons there. A lot of them.
He came up to the corner of the building and peaked around it. Three demons were guarding what appeared to be the main entrance. Hiding behind the wall, Sam focused on exorcising all three of them at once. Seconds later he heard the sound of bodies collapsing to the ground.
He came around the corner, staying close to the wall as he walked toward the entrance. He stopped next to the bodies and looked around, listening both with his ears and that part of him deep inside that could warn him if more demons were nearby. The only ones he sensed were behind the door.
Stepping over the bodies, Sam carefully opened the door and walked inside. He was immediately attacked by a demon, the two of them falling to the floor. As he fought the demon who was trying to suffocate him, out of the corner of his eye Sam saw another one running up the stairs, to warn the others, he guessed. To warn Lilith.
Knowing that if that demon succeeded, all of this would be for nothing, Sam tossed the demon that attacked him into the wall with one hand while already focusing all his attention on exorcising the other. Almost immediately Sam saw a black cloud flow into the staircase, disappearing into cement. Satisfied that his presence was still unknown to Lilith, Sam directed his attention now to the second demon who was clamoring to get up to his feet. Seconds later he was back in hell as well.
Sam got up to his feet. Taking a deep breath, he stilled himself for the next part of the battle.
He walked up the stairs, taking his time, trying not to rush it. Rushing it could mean making a mistake and he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. Not when he was so close.
No more demons came after him and in no time Sam was on the second floor. As he reached for the handle of the large steel door, Sam took a deep breath in, then slowly let it out. Turning the handle, Sam pulled the door open and stepped inside.
He stopped the demon by the door, sending it straight to hell before the demon had a chance to so much as blink.
It was only him now and a young woman with long brown hair. Sam could definitely tell there was a demon possessing her, but whether that demon was Lilith he couldn’t be sure.
He focused on her, trying to make her show him her eyes - the only way he could be sure that it was her. But she was much too strong for him and put up a wall immediately which he had no hopes of getting through. The next thing he knew, he was flying through the air. His back cried out in pain as it hit the wall.
Pressed against the wall, not moving a muscle, Sam watched as she slowly made her way over to him. She stopped right in front of him, staring at his face for a moment. Then she leaned in, slowly, every move calculated, her face right next to his, her mouth next to his ear. “Did you really think that would work on me, Sam?”
Lilith.
He had his confirmation.
Trying not to shudder from feeling her breath against his skin, Sam instead reached out with both hands, grabbed her, swung her around and pushed her against the wall, pinning her to the wall.
“Did you really think that would work on me?” He growled, fully enjoying the complete and utter panic, even fear written across her face now. “You never should have gone after Dean,” he said in a low voice.
She seemed to at least outwardly regain some of her wits. And even though her powers didn’t work on him, she was still much stronger than a mere human. Before Sam could react, she pushed him so hard, he went flying half across the room.
Sam quickly rolled and was back on his knees just in time to see her try and escape the body she was possessing. He knew that if she succeeded, he might not get another chance at her. He raised his arm and focused on pulling Lilith back into the human body. “I don’t think so,” he growled as he squeezed his fist, breathing a small sigh of relief as he watched the black cloud pull back into the woman’s body.
She stared back at him, eyes white as snow, visibly shaking now as Sam slowly rose from his knees to his feet and walked over to where she stood, rooted in place.
“Let me guess,” He said as he approached her, his eyes running over the human body she was possessing. “The little girl routine wasn’t getting you any respect from your lackeys?” He asked, smirking at her.
She raised her head, glowering back at Sam. “I just really liked this body,” she replied, trying to hide the fear in her eyes.
He leaned in closer, his head less than an inch away from hers. “You won’t be in it for long,” he said, his voice cold and calm. He stepped back, his eyes meeting hers and smirked.
“I will tear you to shreds,” she hissed back at him.
“Give it a shot.”
“I will make you watch as I pull the skin off your brother’s bones. You’ll listen to his screams as I rip his heart out of his chest.”
Breathing hard, Sam glared at her, barely able to contain his hatred for the one who caused him so much pain, who cost him so much.
“Hell won’t hold me for long,” she said defiantly.
Sam took a step toward her. “I know,” he said as he raised his hand to her chest and focused. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, but he had never came across a demon as powerful as Lilith before. Not on his own. Not without a help of a weapon. Something other than what was inside of him.
He squeezed his eyes shut, focusing every thought, every molecule, every atom in his body on her, on killing her, on wiping her off the face of the Earth. His head was hurting like never before and he could feel the blood run down his lips and chin. But none of it mattered. Nothing else mattered except ridding the world off the evil that was within the body of this woman.
He could feel the barrier weakening but he didn’t have enough to push through it. His whole body was crying out for relief, every muscle in his body tense, burning, but he refused to let go. Instead he concentrated even more so, sending all the energy within his body toward her.
Die, die, die…
“DIE!” He roared, giving it everything that he had left in him in order to kill her.
A bright white light accompanied a deafening scream that vibrated every single part of his body. And then suddenly it was quiet again.
Sam felt the cold cement beneath his body. He couldn’t understand how he came to be lying on the floor. Whether he fell or he was pushed. He didn’t know.
Only able to take shallow breaths, his heart beating hard against his chest, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the body lying next to him - the body of the girl Lilith was possessing. She was starting to blur and Sam couldn’t quite understand how she could be disappearing into the ground. He turned his head to look up at the ceiling, but that was disappearing in a fog as well.
He heard a voice calling his name from somewhere far away. A familiar voice. Someone so close to him. But he just couldn’t place him. Couldn’t focus enough to remember.
The fog was setting in around him and it was getting harder and harder to breathe. He knew he couldn’t fight against it. He didn’t want to fight against it. He heard the same voice calling his name again, somewhere closer this time. But he was just too tired.
And as he let the fog envelope him, there was only one thought he held onto - Lilith is dead.
