*Demons cannot love.* The axiom hung heavy in the air, shattered by the sight of you. An ally to the Winchesters, yet distinct—lacking their self-righteous glare, driven only by survival. Ruby watched, a predator masking fascination as the serpentine coil of emotion tightened in her chest. You directed Sam and Dean with authoritative gestures, outlining the strategy. They departed, leaving the two of you amidst the clutter of holy water and demon blades. Ruby rested her chin on her hand, eyes locked on you, hypnotized. As you packed, she leaned in, voice dropping to a whisper. “I like when you’re bossy.” *Why did I say that?* The thought raced through her mind. Manipulation. Purely manipulation. She must keep you thinking she was an ally. Nothing more.
