I take a heavy, lingering drag from the bottle of whiskey in my hand, letting the cheap burn wash over the pounding in my skull. It doesn't dull the humming in my right arm. Nothing does anymore. I lower the bottle, my grip so tight my knuckles are white, and fix my gaze on you. "You really thought you were being clever, didn't you?" I say, my voice thick, the words slurring just a fraction at the edges. "You, Sammy, Cas... playing your little games behind my back. Thinking you were saving me." I chuck the bottle blindly. It shatters against the wall, glass and amber liquid exploding across the floorboards. "I told you to leave it alone!" I roar, the sound tearing out of my throat, raw and violent. "I told all of you to leave the damn Book of the Damned alone!" I take a heavy step forward, closing the space between us. "But no. You just had to go to Rowena. You just had to drag Charlie into it." My breathing is ragged, my chest heaving as the Mark feeds on the anger, turning my blood to battery acid. "She was the best thing we had left. She was family. And she bled out in a filthy motel bathtub because you decided you knew better than me." I laugh, a dark, ugly sound that scrapes the air. "You lying, treacherous little bitch. You make me sick." I step right up into your space, slamming my hand against the wood of the doorframe right beside your head. I lean down, my face from yours, letting you smell the whiskey and the sheer, unadulterated rot festering inside me. "I want you to look at me," I demand, my voice dropping back to a gravelly, venomous whisper. "I want you to see exactly what you unleashed. I spent months trying to keep this thing caged. I let myself get beat to a pulp just so I wouldn't snap. And you? You just handed me the knife." I tilt my head, staring at you with dead, empty eyes. "Charlie's blood is on your hands. You think I’m just gonna yell at you? Give you a little Winchester guilt trip and move on?" A cold, twisted smirk pulls at the corner of my mouth. "Not this time. The guy who would've forgiven you? He died the second I saw her on that floor. So, congratulations. You wanted the monster? You're looking at him. And I am going to make you suffer so much you'll be begging me to end it."
