Sam felt his whole body hurt. There was some demons around him fighting him, the fresher and kicked and tortured him with their blades as a way to have their revenge against the former hunter who used to kill supernatural brings like him but who now was one of them too as they fought on one of the dungeons.

But Sam wasn't going to let himself be defeated without fighting, he was fighting them back with his fists and with his size and muscles he had some advantage, knocking down two of them before a third one grabbed him by the nape throwing him against the wall and the former hunter fell on his belly on the had floor feeling the blood slipping as he tried to get up, the adrenaline running through his vessel, his former body because he knew if he wanted to survive he needed to fight back.

In the end Sam had sacrificed himself to save his brother so he could have a future but different from what Billie had told about the brothers going to the Empty after dying, Sam's soul had gone to Hell and that had been his welcome reception.

"So tell me hunter, who does it feel to be hunted?" One of the demons provoked him, stomping over Sam's back and running a blade against his arm and Sam closed his hands in fists, his eyes burning with the pain but he wouldn't give up. Part of him was disappointed Rowena hadn't came to him after everything they'd gone though together but the queen of hell hadn't shown up.

"I haven't give up yet!" Sam hissed standing up and knocking the demon from over him and then when the other two held him by his arms a shadow started to approach the corridor and a soft voice now was ordering with anger:

"Release him!" Rowena appeared in a pretty black dress, her hair falling in soft curls and her green eyes became red as she crossed her arms over her chest staring her servants obey her and Sam raised his battered face looking at Rowena but she didn't look back to him.

"Rowena..."

Things had been strange since her return, the redhead after telling him that being killed had been the best thing to happen to her had been now avoiding him in the last months during the battle against Chuck and hadn't looked him in the eyes and had hurt him. Because so many things had been left unsaid, he needed to apology too.

Because killing her had broken his heart and he'd only realized how important she was to him and that he was fond of her too like she'd told being of him when he'd seen he should have used the spell to bring her back and despite seeing her now as the queen of hell had brought him great relief, things had changed to what they used to be when they'd first met.

"No one is allowed to hurt Samuel Winchester, do you hear me?" Rowena said, staring at the demons, angry.

Despite being frustrated at Samuel she hated seeing someone hurting him, mainly in her kingdom that not only left her furious but with her heart broken, if hers still had been beating, seeing him being abused after his sacrifice. Because as she'd said months before she was fond of him.

And then looking at one of the demons, the strongest and disobedient one who she knew that had started all that she smiled and snapped her fingers making him turn into smoke and the others were paralyzed in fear before she dismissed them with her hand.

Rowena then uncrossed her arms approaching Sam who raised from the ground and her eyes became green again as she took a hand gently to his chin raising it to take a look.

"You shouldn't be here..." She whispered shaking her head slightly, sad. If there was someone who deserved heaven it was Sam Winchester, but she'd anything to make him be happy there. Even if she was frustrated and avoiding him.

When her pale hand raised his strong and slightly tanned face both trembled at the touch and the queen closed her eyes for a moment because for so long she hadn't felt someone's skin, Sam's since that day in the crypt and that made her pulse accelerate but she knew she needed to control herself because she didn't want to break in front of him. Not anymore.

"You shouldn't too." Sam told her with sincerity, giving her a small smile. "But I'm happy for being here with you."

His words surprised her, touching her but she didn't stared back at him.

"I deserved and as I told you, I love what I do here."

Her fingers caressed the nasty cuts on Sam's skin which quickly healed and the man looked at her in surprise at the gesture seeing her green eyes shining and an odd expressing of longing and loneliness on her face but she wasn't looking him in the eyes, crossing her arms and tuning her back to him.

Despite finally being able to feel her touch so softly and delicate seeing that expression on the redhead's face had made him sad because he knew he was the reason for her feeling that so the man took a step toward her and placed a hand over Rowena's shoulder, who became tense but she only raised her hand making his be pushed back with her power.

"Don't, Samuel."

"Rowena, please we have to talk..." Sam told her serious but his voice brought the longing for her wanting to hug her and tell her everything he should have said back in the crypt, that he was fond of her too.

"I said no!" Rowena's voice echoed through the whole corridor as she turned to him with her eyes red, face cold as she tried to control her breath and then her eyes became green. "I don't want to talk."

Because if Sam wanted to talk, why hadn't him said anything in the crypt when she'd told him how fond they had became of each other? Or why hadn't him brought her back or tried to look for her to be sure she had really died? No, she wouldn't talk to him about anything that wasn't about his new life in Hell.

"Okay..." Sam sighed running a hand through his tired face brushing away his long hair from his eyes, disappointed. He wouldn't force her now for knowing how balanced she was with him appearing there, but he wouldn't give up on her.

"Come with me."

And Sam then followed her outside the dungeon and they walked through the corridor illuminated with elegant torches until they reached the throne room, elegant and with some touches of Rowena and the redhead then sat on her throne as Sam stopped in front of her and she handed him his old demon-killing knife.

"Your knife so you can protect yourself." And when Sam grabbed it, it was impossible for their fingers not to brush making both tremble at each other's touch but the redhead controlled herself and then smiled in a professional way. "You already know your new abilities so I want to talk about the work I'll give you here. You're going to head the new demons who come to hell."

"Rowena? I mean, milady?" Sam quickly corrected himself knowing all the demons called her like that and then he frowned in surprise: "Shouldn't someone more experienced do that?"

"You've got enough experience when you dealt with demons as a hunter," She reminded him raising an eyebrow and then grabbing her glass of whiskey and taking a sip. "And it'll be a way for you go to Earth with the excuse to go there keep an eye on them and no demon will try to mess with you when I'm not near, it'll be a way for you to have authority here."

"I can take care of myself," Sam told her with a sigh, holding his knife but Rowena shook her head staring at her glass and told him softly, her eyes shinning:

"I know. But here's Hell Samuel, it can be lonely so just accept this work."

And it was. As she had said she missed flesh-on-flesh sex, being held because what the demons most enjoyed were torture and after being held by Sam in the crypt all that she could think about was of being in his strong arms again.

"It doesn't need to be lonely..." The man then approached her without hesitating, kneeling and grabbing Rowena's hand so small and perfect in his and he caressed it with his tumble slowly before taking their hands to his face and kissing it as he stared at her pretty face and he smiled with affection seeing her frown with her eyes shinning and lost.

Sam's touch made Rowena melt so she shook her head slightly as her fingers squeezed his before releasing her hand and she whispered with her voice barely disguising her desire for him:

"Don't provoke me Samuel."

And then she napped her fingers and a tall demon with black hair and eyes appeared all dressed in black and Rowena smirked to him, standing up and staying in front of her servant and she ran her nails over his exposed chest before kissing his lips so maybe Sam would give up on her as much as a small part of her didn't want him to do that, she needed Sam. But she was stubborn.

Sam averted his eyes staring at the floor hating seeing the woman kissing another demon who now was running a hand over her nape but he knew he'd never given Rowena reasons for her to know how he felt about her and his eyes became black for a moment and he tried to control himself not to attack the other demon.

"Anthony dear, I want you yo show Samuel his new room and I don't anyone messing with him."

Because he's mine.

And when Sam left with Anthony Rowena sat back in her throne finally relaxing but she felt frustrated and broke while she leaned her head back and shut her eyes tight, frowning. Sam affected her so much and for a moment she almost had allowed herself to hear what he had wanted to say but the deception for him not saying anything before or searched for her had took over her so she didn't want to now now.

Because now every time Rowena would look at Sam, all that she could think about was that he hadn't used the spell to bring her back.

Sam reached an ancient door and found himself in a similar bedroom to his in the bunker and that made him smile in longing but also touched because he knew Rowena had done that for him.

Even when she was being stubborn and frustrating she couldn't hold her feelings and what she felt for him anymore, she worried about him and... the fact she liked him and Sam then sat on the bed and thought of his brother, Castiel and the others, about Rowena.
