They call me the Anti-Christ

Sam was in the doorway when she answered the door. He was panting hard from having run up the stairs - afraid that the hell hounds had come early. They had fought down to the last minute and Sam had feared the worst.

But now he stood there, bloody and bruised, panting for breath as he looked at the redhead on the other side of the door. The fear in her eyes that shifted to confusion, then understanding.

The sun was starting to rise, and it was Sam that came to her door, and not the hell hounds.

"Sam?" she asked softly, looking past him just in case there were hounds behind him, but there weren't. "What happened?"

Her hand went to cup his cheek, and he closed his eyes, leaning into it a moment. Then he took a quick step in and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close as he kissed her hard. Sam could feel her start a moment, then she relaxed and kissed him back as her hands went up around his neck.

Moving her further into the living room, he kicked the door shut. He leaned her against the wall, just kissing her until he was out of breath and leaned his head back. Bela took a deep breath, then looked up at him. "Sam?"

"We did it," he said softly, looking down at her with a small smile. "We did it, and you're safe now, and I'm home. To stay."

Sam rubbed his eyes as he closed another large, dusty book on Bobby's desk. Still nothing on how to stop a crossroad demon deal. Still no way to help Bela. No way to save her. Nothing.

It was driving him crazy. He was a lawyer, and he knew that all deals had clauses in them that were able to be used to make a deal invalid. It was the nature of the beast. But these deals were like nothing he had studied in school.

There was no clauses. No fine print to play with the language. Nothing but cold hard facts.

Bela had sold her soul, and unless they could trick the crossroads demon again like Dean had before, there was no way he could keep his promise and save her.

Sam hated not being able to keep his promises, especially when they involved helping someone.
