“a grandma that knows what side to be on.” she quipped, ever so smug. the tap on her wrists she usually got was fine with her. scooping out what remains of her sundae she listened more to what he was telling her. a house? it was a nice idea but she wondered how well that would go— would they even live in it, or would they still be travelling from motel to motel? hey, she wasn’t saying no, she could say yes all she wanted but of course for rhi, niko made the final decisions. “i do not snore.” she scoffed, feeling a little huffy, adamant she didn’t. “i think it’s a good idea,” she was starting to think of the space they’d have and it was in truth, it was becoming appealing. “do you think niko would?” 

“yeah, your own, selfish twit.” he teased. he was still munching on his deserts, powering through them like a man starved - which wasn’t far from the truth. before he came here, he’d only had say, a couple fruits in a couple days. had she noticed? was that why she offered lunch? he didn’t mind though, he was ( very obviously ) hungry enough to accept. “you snore worse than niko.” and they both knew how bad that was. “fart too.” cade lifted an amused brow, clearly trying to embarrass her. but he was also making his point, they would all love their own space. “i just think we’d pay the same amount of money to be in a motel. i’d rather be in a house that has a shower without the scabby tiles. and a kitchen, where we can make niko cook for us.” he joked, mostly. “i don’t see why not. looks like we’re gonna be here long enough to make it worth it.”

when cade said that lilith was here, nothing else mattered. she was in town, which meant it was more important than ever for sam to be at full power. he needed to call ruby. how had lilith managed to get so close to them without ruby knowing. “you saw lilith?” he asked, stepping forward again. “when? where?” if she was still in town, now could be the time for sam to stop her. he’d finally get the revenge he’d been searching for ever since dean died. it didn’t matter that he was back now, he still had to live with the memory of watching his brother being torn apart by hellhounds. 

“dean doesn’t get it. he’s my big brother, he thinks he has to protect me from everything, but he can’t protect me from this. i have to do this, even if i die in the process. my brother doesn’t get that, and he won’t let me die even if it means savings the world.” but sam didn’t care, he was already on a path to somewhere dark, and maybe he’d end up in hell, but he could do something good before then. he could stop lilith and save the world. sam opened his arms up and took a deep breath, looking cade square in the eye. “so if you’re gonna shoot, then shoot. but if there’s a part of you, even a small part, that thinks i might be telling the truth, then help me stop lilith.”

“pretty sure i just said that. guess you were a little distracted. you still got a little something on your face.” meaning, blood. what a fucking bizarre situation, cade felt like he was at an absolute loss. what was he supposed to do? what could he do? “in the street, she ambushed me and took me to a bar near the edge of town.” he grumbled. when he thought about it, he still had to think twice, like he couldn’t believe it really happened. “i didn’t do this to myself.” pulling his shirt down again to show liliths name on his collarbone. “she’s a little slash happy, huh?” his brows lifted and fell. 

“maybe you don’t get it. shoe on the other foot, sam.” if this was niko or rhiannon? he’s pretty sure he’d be a mixture of intense emotions and none of them would allow them to carry on doing it. “but who told you this? who said to you, hey, drink some demon blood and you can kill lilith and save the world? and at what point did you just believe that was a good thing to try?” to start with the blood, he meant. “man, i’m not gonna shoot, but don’t think that means i’m okay with literally any of this. we’re supposed stop these things, not juice offa them. you do shit like that, what makes you better than them?”

she waved off his sorry, it wasn’t needed. there was even a smile, as if trying to silently say he was misinterpreting it. when, in fact, he wasn’t. she wasn’t looking on expanding either, she was just answering his question. she didn’t mind doing it, things like this worked both ways, he was answering her, so why wouldn’t she? “quite the burger guy, hey?” she chuckled, though understood. “i’m more sweet, really. back home there’s this.. cake– revani, melts in your mouth. the things i’d do to have one now..” she’s joking, a little smirk on her features as she walks along side him. she notes his just us now, guessing that meant he had lost a few himself. she doesn’t touch on it, she just nods in simple understanding. “yes. end of the world. i’ve learned a lot already since being here, actually. i hate the waiting game though.” the number one thing she had discovered? angels. that was crazy. “hence the drink, eat, sleep, repeat.”

“i’d say the burger king if i wouldn’t get done for copyright.” he smiled. sure, burgers were his typical go to fast food, but he was sure that went for most people on the road, quick and greasy. it would be a wonder they weren’t all fifty stone if it wasn’t for the fact they spent half their time running and fighting. “revani.” he repeated, never heard of it. “i’ll remember that if i ever make it outta this place to go visit.” cade scoffed out a laugh, though the fateful truth of it was that half of him never expected to leave here, at least not in-tact. “yeah, like what?” he wondered. “could tell you a story or two, also.” whether he would was a touchy subject. give him a minute and he’d figure out how to say it without the need to tell her the entire truth ( aka, leave out the part with the demon donning the dead girlfriends voice. ) “can’t judge, do the same thing myself.” he shrugged. “which... is kinda sad now we say it outloud, huh?” he chuckled.

“lilith?” the name shot out immediately as he read it. “who the fuck is lilith?” because it couldn’t be the first thing that came to mind when it came to that name, could it? no – that would be crazy, right? all the crazy shit that he sees and only till now did he feel something like that was insane. “you’re a shitty liar.” he muttered, trying to calm himself down at least for his hearts sake, not that it was really working out for him. cade was alive but even seeing him in pain was enough to keep his adrenaline going. there was a bit of relief knowing that nothing on the inside was going on or else he’d be dragging his ass off against any protest. he couldn’t be too mad with the response either, niko himself wasn’t ever jumping to get any professional medical help and if he did, he had made them come to him in the past. they all learned how to patch themselves up. you know, applying duck tape like it fixed all, good as new. still, he sighed in disapproval as he took the bottle from him. he eyed him for a few more seconds, his eyes falling onto the area with the name that his brother had on him now. when cade spoke, niko’s gaze traveled up to his brother’s face noticing more clearer now the lack of energy in his eyes. bringing the bottle up to his lips he threw his head back, taking a long swig, focusing on the burn it left behind before forcing himself to pull it away from himself. “no fuckin’ clue.” he took a sharp inhale, glancing around where they were. he had simply followed what had popped up, without paying much attention to where he was walking into. “but I got a video of you, it…” he trailed off, shaking his head as he held the bottle back out in case cade wanted some more. “you were passed out.” he imagined the worst, of course he did, anyone would. “how did this happen?”

“assuming there’s only one, then lilith would be the first demon.” judging by her power alone, cade assumed it had to be right. he’d never met a demon with her capabilities before, not even the higher up ones. a bark of a laugh sounded in the air. saying it out loud? it sounded absolutely nuts. he’d literally just got his ass handed to him by the first demon the fucking devil ever made. how about that. “aye, but i’m way too conscious to let you drag me to a hospital.” in his opinion it just wasn’t necessary, not when he could patch himself up. cade couldn’t help but feel guilty though, putting shawn in his position again, he knew he was probably having a mild heart attack on the inside -- it wasn’t like cade didn’t try to stay safe, sometimes shit just happened.”well, at least she chose a bar.” thank god for alcohol. now all he needed was a handful of painkillers and a few days sleep. “video?” cade frowned, muttering a ‘fuck sake’ under his breath. what a sick bitch. “don’t know, she just---” he gave a little head shake, decided to just admit fault, really. “i let her get in my head. she knew things, even spoke in--” another pause, lilith had spoken in georginas voice, that’s what threw him. “i fucked up. hesitated. next thing it was lights out, then i woke up with a hand nailed to the table.” so fun fucking times, really. he sighed again, took another swig of the whiskey and looked up to niko. “sorry, man.” for making him worry, really.

“i’m telling you man, she’s on our side. she’s saved my ass, and deans, on multiple occasions. she wants lilith dead, and she’s gonna help me stop her.” he knew it was hard to believe. hell, if the roles were swapped then sam would never have believed that a demon could be on their side. but he had to believe ruby was doing the right thing, he had to believe that everything he was going through would be worth it in the end. sure, he might have earned himself a one way ticket to hell, and his brother would never talk to him again, but he would save the world. it would be worth it. it had to be. 

“i could stop, i did, but.. but i have to do this, because every day lilith gets closer to breaking the last seal, but everyday i get closer to finding her and stopping her.” sam said with some determination. “i get it, you have no reason to trust me. i know how this looks, and it’s bad. i know that, but you have to understand. i have to do this.. and i need you to not tell dean about what you saw here today. he doesn’t understand what i’m trying to do here. he’d lock me in and force some.. ill informed detox on me, and then the world would be in shit.”

come on, man. what the hell are you doing. “what i have to.”

“and you don’t find that weird? why would a demon want lilith dead? why would she want to help?” even the very thought didn’t sit well with him, demons were monsters and that was that. it was black and white. at least it was in cade’s mind. “right...” he frowned, finding himself in mild thought. this was an entirely new and strange situation to be in. he couldn’t just get on board, which he expected sam would know or he wouldn’t be stood there pitching a sale. 

“and the people you’re hurting doing it?” gesturing once more to the bodies lying around, he shook his head. “i’ve killed monsters for less. we all have.” what he was wondering was why should this be an exception? why should sam get a pass just because he felt his quest was a noble one? “oh come on, don’t put that on me.” don’t tell dean? of course he understood why, but whether or not he could keep this to himself was another question. 

“according to who? who said you have to do this? ... i don’t like it, sam, it’s all just a bit... untested.” as in, how did he know it would work? what if it was a trap? cade ran a hand over his face and sighed. “lilith is here, at least she was.” when he saw her, that was. cade looked towards sam. “look, i’m all for keeping my mouth shut when someone has a secret but this... i don’t know about this. everything in me wants to shoot you and everything else tells me you shouldn’t be keeping this from dean.”

“probably around five years ago, it burned to the ground so been a bit of a drifter ever since.” there’s a small chuckle from her, despite the memory not be humours for her. sometimes she wished she had gone up in flames with it. she had poured the petrol as well as threw the match. alone. really, through her warmth and kindness, she was lonely. that feeling of home you got? died with her family. “yeah i’ve noticed. grease with a side of burger. still hits the spot though.” for her anyway, she didn’t really have any complaints. “oh,” she lets out an amused laugh at the mention of his sister kicking his ass. “my lips are sealed.” she smirked. “you’ve come here with your family then? just you and your sister?” she asks, seeing the opening to do so. considering her assumption before, she was just confirming that. 

“no shit? ... sorry.” he imagined there was a lot more to the story but he figured it was probably not one she wanted to share with a guy she just met. he didn’t ask, to be honest, he could probably grasp the basic picture -- pain, death, so on and so forth. it was an obvious pattern for hunters at this point. “one of the highlights of being on the road. there’s a burger joint in Iowa I had four years ago and I swear, I’d drive there just to go again.” cade chuckled, tucking his hands in his pockets once they’d set off. “yeah, brother too. there’s just us now.” he shrugged, his words telling her that once upon a time, there was more of them. “here for the same reason you are, i would think.”

rhixfox‌:

“because i don’t like change.” she’s blinking innocently, clearly messing with him and yet keeping her features completely serious for a moment before she grins, now laughing. she watched him as she dug deeper into her sundae, fishing out the small pieces of chocolate brownie before scooping them out and popping them in her mouth. it was good to see she wasn’t the only one silently on edge— how could they not be? it was the running theme to their lives. keep yourself protected and have your weapons on you. though, sometimes she didn’t hold the latter. today she did, however. “okay.. okay, let it settle before we leave. got it.” she chuckles. 

“riiiight. because nothing good ever comes from a little change. you sound like a grandma.” he shot back. thinking about it, he was probably going to regret eating as much as he had, especially with the chance that they’d end up in a fight. the idea of moving? blegh. “you should see some of the houses a few blocks down. one of them was like five bedrooms with a real garden, rent was cheap too.” probably because the previous occupants died, but still. “gettin’ tired of motel rooms and listening to you snore, the walls are too thin.” he teased, but honestly? the ide of a house sounded nice. “and i want a kitchen.” cade added. “we’d pay the same amount to rent a place as we would being in a motel, what do you think?” he wondered. 

[cadexfox]

rhixfox‌:

“sure,” she nodded, “i can put up with a warning.” she raised both brows in his direction, almost as if to say ha ha. siblings, ever so kind, right? “yeah and i’ll put on record you said half a bottle.” she responds smugly, half and half with the blame— only fair. “exactly and when he chokes there’s enough time to run.” she chuckled, already thinking she would sitting opposite niko so she could see his face when it happened. though she probably wouldn’t get very far, she’d end up in stitches before she could even think about moving. “oh kind.” she rolls her eyes, clearly not amused. saying her thanks also to the waiter she reaches for her spoon and starts to make her way through the whip cream. “if you’re sick i’m gonna ditch you.” she was half joking, partly serious considering she knows she would be if she had eaten as much as he was about to.

“aw piss off. you know, you get a slap on the wrist and that’s all. so why can’t you take the full blame and save my ass getting kicked down the sidewalk, huh?” he was laughing, mainly because he didn’t really care. he’d probably still be laughing if niko did start throwing punches. cade took another glance around the restaurant, checking out the new people who’d entered. even when he didn’t realise it, he was on guard. it didn’t hurt to look, right? not that he was expecting to see anything -- monsters could look as normal as he did. “if i’m sick it’ll be because you make me get up outta this booth too quickly.” he warned. “otherwise, just give me about ten minutes then you can roll me out the door.”

“life on the road sucks, huh?” she notes his choice of we. so that told her he wasn’t alone— which to her meant there was hunters with him. at least he wasn’t alone, so there was a plus. “i used to have a set home, the views out the window were beautiful— don’t appreciate it anymore though.” the places she had been to and seen through her work were mesmerising, she just couldn’t stop and think wow. the guilt and grief consumed her thoughts to the point she’d tell herself she wasn’t allowed to enjoy the simplicity of life. “if i was vegan i wouldn’t be here.” she joked, meaning the gym and her getting into shape. “burger sounds good.” the only thing she wasn’t keen on were the fries, sure, she liked them, but she liked the thick home cooked ones better. she hadn’t yet been somewhere that did those, they were always thin. what was that about? “mhm, just because you’re a man doesn’t make you invincible.” she chuckled, now heading out of the door. of course she doesn’t doubt he can’t protect himself, she was sure he could, but she liked to look after her own.

“yeah, but what are you gonna do about it? don’t think i’d be able to settle down in one place.” he used to think he could when he had georgina, he wanted to settle in a quiet town and have a family. naturally, that all changed when he lost her. he realised there would probably not be any peace for him in this life. “when’s the last time you were there?” wherever her set home was, he meant. he assumed it would be turkey but it could be somewhere else for all he knew. “sure there’s a place a couple minutes away, most places here serve the same type of grease though.” from what he’d already seen on his ventures. “oh believe me, i’m under no illusion of that.” cade laughed. his injuries past and present told him as much. “i know a few women who could kick my ass. my sister being one of them, but if you ever meet her i implore you not to tell her i admitted it.”

she shrugged her shoulders as if to say ‘your loss’ before giving him a smile when he agreed. she grabbed the beer that was placed down in front of her and moved to sit next to him. “well, i learned by watching my grandma and i read a book on it once, so let that say what it will,“ she said once she was seated on the stool. placing the beer on the counter, she held her hand out. “give me your hand.” 

“alright. sounds promising,” well it did if her grandma was any good. not that he had his hopes up ( maybe a part of him even hoped she was terrible, at least then he could ignore whatever she was about to say to him if it was horrible. ) “my hand? right...” he paused, glancing between them, since one was wrapped up hiding a hole that was stabbed through it, he upturned the bruised one and offered it over to her. “better if you don’t ask. though i guess if you’re legit you don’t have to.” he teased.

“You’re not the first and you won’t be the last. Trust me.” The number of people that didn’t want to be treated with life threatening issues was high. Some out of money, some out of pride. They all had their reasons but she’d got pretty good at working out which ones are which. “It’s not a bad thing at all. I wish I was more travelled but sadly, duty calls.”

“Not a snitch then, huh?” He figured not, unless he left before an officer came to question him on what happened. He wasn’t even sure which fake card Niko used to pay for the insurance, or if he paid at all. “There’s always vacations. Sometimes I think those might be better.” Than not being able to say you had roots, he meant. “Ever been to Bali? It’s beautiful.”

flannelcladsam‌:

“i have a friend.. a demon friend. which i know, goes against everything we stand for, but she wants to stop lilith just as much as we do.” ruby was on their side, she had proved it enough times by saving them over and over. if she really wanted them dead, she would have just left them to their own devices. they’d probably be dead if it wasn’t for her.  and if lilith wanted lucifer free, and ruby wanted lucifer dead, then surely they were on the same team. it wasn’t perfect, but it was an advantage. 

“i’m not an addict.” and he wished everyone would stop calling him that. he wasn’t drinking the demon blood because it was fun, he didn’t enjoy it. he had to do it though, to get strong enough to defeat lilith. he just knew, that something good could come of this whole thing. something good could come of his curse. “i know that this looks bad, but i just need you to trust me.” he needed someone to love to trust him, because his own brother sure as hell as didn’t. 

“sorry, you lost me at demon friend.” and it showed in the way his face turned sour. he was judging him -- didn’t want to, but he couldn’t help it. his hatred for demons ran deep and he assumed sam would know why, that he heard what happened to him and his girl, most did. “a good demon. i’m praying you realise how ridiculous that sounds.” though he hadn’t lifted his gun back up, he certainly didn’t feel comfortable enough to put it away. 

“telling me you could stop, then?” genuine question, curious nature. “it doesn’t just look bad. if this was the other way around, would you trust me at my word?” lifting a brow, he shook his head. “what makes you think this will kill her? and who the fuck even introduced you to this? your demon friend? oh yeah, because that sounds promising.” he huffed out. “come on, man. what the hell are you doing.”

she started laughing, not being able to help herself do anything but. she hadn’t yet seen someone do something so stupid or funny, but then maybe that was because she hadn’t really been out. suppose she didn’t need to laugh at everyone’s misfortune. “well if you wanna chicken out..” she leaves that for him to decide, either way, she was down. she was even now thinking about how many sticky notes would be needed— more so because she was thinking about how they could do the inside and outside of his car. she was even sniggering to herself. “you want something hot,” she nodded, “mild won’t do anything.” even though she was technically deciding on the hotness, she wasn’t actually buying it, so, it wouldn’t be her fault. her jaw dropped a little when he was trying to pin the blame on her, the eyes from the other people sitting around? she felt them on her. “you’re actually a pig,” she’s shaking her head, trying not to chuckle as she now sees the desserts coming over.

“chicken out? fuck no, but we’re sharing the blame. and the ass kicking.” he joked, mainly because it would be his ass that got kicked and her ass that was only scolded. typical. “alright well i’m putting it on record that you suggested the hot one.” and hey, why not go all out and get flaming hot. “what you thinking, half a bottle?” cade snorted. “i mean, he’s only going to take a sip before he chokes. what’s the worst that could happen?” that was his logic anyway. “yeah, but only for you, sis.” because she found it so disgusting, how could he help himself. “ohhh look at this.” rubbing his hands together, he thanked the waiter when she placed the desserts down. “looks good.”
