Chapter Four
Dean had the demon bitch right where he wanted her, but every time he looked at Sam his stomach knotted. Sam was terrified. It pained Dean to see him in that state and the fact that he was the cause was almost unbearable.
Luckily “Jess”, didn’t look exactly like the real Jess. Dean knew that if she had it would have been near impossible to carry out the task at hand.
The imposter was doing her best damsel in distress which Dean knew was killing Sam. He would've gagged her but they needed information from the demon bitch before sending her back to hell.
“Okay bitch, enough with the 'save me' and 'this isn’t your brother crap'. Here’s the deal, we have you and there is no getting away, but you do have a choice. You could answer my questions….”
Before Dean could finish the demon spat out, “Go to hell, I’m not telling you anything. You and Ruby better get out of here before my friends show.”
“Yeah, well you see we did a stake out and your so called friends are nowhere to be found. So as I was saying, you could answer a few questions before your trip to hell or I could throw some holy water on you and then Ruby could stick you with her knife and it would be over. Forever over, no coming back. Your choice.” Dean smirked at the furious look that Jess was giving him.
Ruby walked over playing with her knife. “You know Deano, I say we just kill the bitch. I have enough contacts to figure out what they did to Sam. Killing would be so much more satisfying!”
Dean had to give Ruby some respect, the other demon was truly afraid of her. He could see it in her eyes, so he moved in, ignoring his brother struggling in the corner.
“So what will it be Jess? A few questions and a quick trip, or a date with Ruby here?” Dean was now right in front of the imposter.
“Fine, what do you want to know?” Jess huffed out.
“What plans did you have for Sam?” Dean asked glaring at the she demon.
“Our group wants control and we thought if we could gain Sam’s trust then we could over time convert him and make him our leader. With him, our demon group would've been unstoppable.” Jess spat out and smirked at Sam.
Dean watched as his brothers eyes went wide with confusion.
“What did you do to my brother to rob him of his memory?” Dean asked trying to control his anger so that he didn’t hit the demon before he got his answers.
“Well, I don’t know all the details, but I can tell you what I know. He did receive a blow to the head that knocked him out when he was kidnapped. Once he awoke, the leader of our group performed some sort of spell on him that erased his memory and then they pumped him with drugs that would weaken him. That way he would buy the story of being in a coma for awhile. We planted a few vague memories of Jess. Oh and then we planted a fake memory of a crash that took your life and John’s life, leading him to believe that all he had left was Jess. Poor little orphan Sammy, and I was there to pick up the pieces, what a fun job that was.” Jess ran her tongue seductively over her lips.
“Shut up bitch!” Dean could stop himself he slapped Jess hard across the face.
“Oh baby, you like it rough?” She purred back as she licked the blood away.
Ruby stepped forward. “Dean I hate to interrupt the kink fest, but I think she’s done and I’m tired of hearing her voice.”
“I hate to be in agreement with Ruby, but she’s right. Talk time is over, time to go bye- bye. “ Dean turned towards Ruby. “Hey Broom- Hilda, you better head out before I send two she demons to hell.”
“Only in your dreams!” Ruby replied as she skipped out of the room.

Sam was terrified and confused. Things were happening so fast. One minute he was snuggling up with the supposed love of his life and the next he was bound and gagged in a chair.
Jess was struggling from her chair where she was bound and begging for her life. Calling for Sam. It was killing him that he was helpless and that his supposed brother was going to harm them.
Things changed though once his brother spoke to Jess. Her demeanor changed. She was no longer the frightened girl he supposedly loved begging for her life, instead she was cocky and verbally assaulting Dean.
There was talk of demons and then Jess started explaining her plans for him. It cut Sam to the quick. He didn’t know what to think anymore. When she was done laying out her plans for him, Dean had told Ruby to leave. Once she was gone Dean started reciting from a book.
It was another language. Latin, it felt weird knowing that the language being spoken was Latin but he couldn't remember anything about himself.
The scene in front of him was just like the movie The Exorcism, minus the vomit.
Sam couldn't believe his ears as the girl who had been so kind to him spat horrible things out at Dean about seeing him in hell and what she would do to him there.
Finally the girl's mouth opened wide and a cloud of black smoke poured out of her. It headed straight below. Sam could only imagine it was the “demon” going to hell.
Jess went limp in the chair and Dean moved forward and placed a hand to the pulse point on her neck. He then looked over at Sam.
“Hey Sam, I know you’re confused and I want to explain things and get you untied but the girl that the demon possessed is still alive and I need to help her okay?” Dean’s voice was kind and full of concern, so different from a few minutes earlier.
Sam nodded at him that he understood and watched as Dean quickly untied the girl and gently laid her out on the floor. He gently tapped Jess's cheeks and Sam could tell his brother was relieved when the she opened her eyes.
In a very quiet voice the girl spoke. “Thank you. That thing has been in possession of my body for two months.”
Dean nodded. "It’s over now. Are you hurt?”
“No, I’m really tired, but I’ll be okay. I just can’t believe that she changed my face.” The girl ran a hand over her face and winced as she touched a bruise.
Dean winced too. “I’m so sorry, I hit you.”
Jess smiled and started to sit up. “No need to be sorry, you saved me. I’m okay, why don’t you go help your brother.”
Dean quickly stood and headed towards Sam. “Sammy, I’ll have you free in just a minute.”
Sam nodded but couldn’t stop himself from flinching when Dean touched the back of his head trying to remove the gag.
He felt Dean stop and tensed behind him. “I won’t hurt you, I'd never hurt you Sam. I promise.”
Sam nodded and kept his body still as Dean worked to free him. It was hard to not jump out of the chair as soon as he was free. His initial instinct was to flee but he didn’t have anywhere to go.
Dean must have sensed Sam’s unease because he slowly backed away. “Sam it’ll be okay.”
Jess slowly rose from the floor and deposited herself back in the chair. She gave Sam a sympathetic smile.
Sam returned the smile not sure what to say. Jess cleared her throat and spoke. “Sam, I’m so sorry. That thing was in control of my body for two months, and during that time she had plastic surgery so I would look more like your Jess. Everything that she said is true. For some reason these demons had plans for you, I’m just glad that your brother was able to save both of us.”
Sam nodded. “I’m sorry that you were a victim in all this because of me.”
Dean sat on the edge of the couch and spoke. “You're both victims and it’s not either of your faults. So I guess Jess isn't your name huh?”
Jess shook her head. “No, it’s Stacy. And we’re in Jericho? I need to get back to San Francisco.”
Dean nodded and got up from his spot. He grabbed a purse off of the coffee table and opened it. In the wallet, there was id and credit cards. There was also a large amount of cash that Dean was counting out.
“Well Stacy, there's close to two thousand dollars in the wallet. I can drop you off at a bus station and this money should get you home safely.” Dean then put the contents back in the purse and handed it to Stacy.
“Dean, I appreciate it, but I can call a cab. You need to see after Sam, and I’m assuming we need to get out of here in case Jess’s friends show up?”
“Yeah, we should head out. Both of you need to change clothes and then we can leave.” Dean then settled on the couch.
Stacy smiled at Sam. “Sam why don’t you go change while I call the cab, and then I’ll change.”
“Sure.” Sam replied as he headed for the bedroom.
A few minutes later Sam and Stacy were dressed, packed and ready to go.
Sam had forgotten about Ruby until they exited the apartment and came face to face with the feisty blonde.
“So we got Sammy back and the girl is okay, huh? “ Ruby asked as the three exited the apartment.
Dean smirked. “Yeah, things went fine. So now why don’t you make yourself useful and see if you can track down the bitch's friends.”
“Sure thing boss man! See ya around Sammy.” Ruby winked at Sam and headed away from the little group.
Sam was happy to see her go.
The three stood in uncomfortable silence until the cab arrived.
“Dean, thanks again for all your help. I’ll keep your cell phone number, but hopefully I won’t need it.”
Sam figured they must have exchanged information while he was changing.
“Take care Stacy.” Dean replied.
Stacy then turned to face Sam. “Sam I know you don’t remember your brother, but I have a feeling it will all work out for you. I hope you get your memories back soon.”
Sam nodded and gave a quick smile. “I hope everything works out for you too.”
Stacy grabbed her belongings and headed for the cab. Sam dreaded seeing her go. It was not like he knew her, but he definitely felt more comfortable with her than he did with Dean.
Sam swallowed hard as he realized that he was now alone with a brother who he didn’t know and, if he was honest with himself, he feared.
