The sound of her neck cracking echoes through the room as she waits for Sam to show up for training. She sits at a table, rocking back on two legs of the chair fairly precariously.

Sam had steadily been getting stronger, both which delighted and made Ruby nervous. There were no demons for him to destroy here, save her. There was no way he'd remember all of this when they returned -- if they returned. But she had no purpose here otherwise, so she continued to beat Sam into shape and refused to let up, ever. For both of their sakes.

Without his brother, Sam was a little bit of a wild card which was something Ruby didn't necessarily like. Sure, a little bit of a wild streak was beneficial but too much would fuck the whole grand scheme right up. As long as she could keep him focused and tied to that pain, she might be able to make something decent out of him still. She kept mentioning Dean to him and sometimes she wasn't sure if it was too much, if he'd come back the next session after she berated him and accused him of being worth less than his brother's company. But he always does.

And this time, at least he gets cake for it. After the training, of course.

"Ah-ah. Not until after. You've got to earn your cake and eat it too." She up on her feet, then, stalking toward him casually. She usually enjoys surprising him when he first walks into their meeting place, but it's his birthday, so she'll ease up a little.

Sam rolls his eyes at her. He's on guard even those she's casual. He's waiting for the TK against a wall or the punch to his jaw. He's not sure if defensive is what she wants but it's what she's getting right now.

"So this isn't going to be a training session where you make me puke?" He's joking but not so much.

She laughs and shrugs, pursing her lips. "Maybe not. I wonder if you actually age here. You don't look any older."

Ruby's definitely going easy on him at first, she just stalks around him, smirking.

♫Hello, little boy,
What's your rush?
You're missing all your powers.
The sun won't set for hours,
Don't waste my time.♫

Singing...Ruby is singing to him. This is...the weirdest birthday he's ever had. He smirks and shakes his head, starts to comment on her singing and instead ends up singing himself:

♫Dad said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay or be misled.♫

This is going to be an interesting training session. Complete with montage apparently.

She scowls once she realizes exactly what's happening but once she starts to fight it, the urge to sing to Sam takes hold harder. She throws a few hits his way as she sings and-- starts to dance around him.

♫Come on little boy,
Hark and hush-
You're still not fully ganking me,
I'll kick your ass so fleetly.
My wounds will heal completely.♫

She growls the last line, biting it off harshly.

Sam narrows his eyes and circles Ruby defensively.

♫Dean said,
"Come what may,
Follow the path
And never stray."♫

♫Just so, little girl-
Any path.
So many worth exploring.
Just one would be so boring.
And look what you're ignoring...♫

She's clearly fighting against it still, to the point of just barking out the words rather than singing. Ruby would rather take a holy water bath than deal with this shit.

Sam's not enjoying it any more than she is. He sighs, flaring his nostrils as he does and rolls his eyes.

♫Dean said
Not to stray.
Still I suppose,
A small delay...
A demon exorcised
A demon to slay...♫

She swings at him with her knife out, finally -- hoping that if one of them gets hit, it will snap them out of the spell or...whatever this fucking shit was.

♫
Think of those black,
Smoking souls,
Sinking back down into the Pit
Think of that satisfied agony...♫

Maybe she's off because of the singing or maybe Sam's training is sinking in but he grabs her wrist and twists, following her down to the floor with an oof. There's silence for a moment.

No singing.

♫Good day, Miss Wolf♫

Ruby just laughs for a second, happy that the music has finished and that Sam seems to be less fail than usual. However, she takes the opportunity to throw an elbow up into his face and maneuver around to hold the knife to his neck. "Jesus fucking Christ on a hooker, finally. Are you trying to pull some kind of crazy bullshit on me, Sam? You hate your birthday that much?"

"The two questions aren't mutually exclusive," Sam tells her confident in the fact that whether he wants her to or not, she's not going to kill him.

"I was reacting to your attack and yes I hate my birthday that much. Dean dies today. In our world."

She smacks him with the butt of the knife, in an attempt to get out from his pin. "No, moron. The singing. What. The fuck. Did you do?"

Ruby continues to struggle, refusing to TK his ass into the ceiling. She should be able to do this without help. "Oh boo hoo, cry some more. Dean dies and the world goes on, with you in it. Deal!"

"I didn't do anything!" His grip slips a little and he has to scramble to try and keep it.

"Yeah but you're not going to let that happen. Are you, Ruby?" It's half smirk and sarcasm and throwing her promise back in her face but it's also a bit of a plea. He wants her to promise him that there's going to be a last minute save.

She takes advantage and grabs hold of an arm, tugging it and following along in a tumble across the concrete.

"Who knows? Maybe I fail. It'd be nice to know someone was actually helping me sometimes." She won't admit her real game to him, not on his birthday. Even Ruby isn't that cruel.

Sam rubs his shoulder and sits up.

"I'm helping," he insists.

She just doesn't want him to go all dark and psycho on her.

Then as a birthday present[And to see if he can]he holds out his hand and concentrates on pulling her out of her body.
