RATING: PG-13
STATUS: In Progress

With the reactionary, the impulsive, it was always just a matter of finding the right issues to press on. With a few well placed words and the vaguest of insinuations, he was able to save himself from exercising a great deal of energy in tracking and cornering an individual. With a few well placed words, he was more than capable of getting them to come to him. And that was exactly what he was doing now, after having taken in the situation in this city, throwing out lines to both Deans and Ruby to see just who bit first. It seemed as though he was going to get the pleasure of the young demon's company first which was perfectly all right with him. Better to get her out of the way so that when he did find himself toe to toe with the collective powers of whatever opposition the Winchesters could muster, they would at least be down one.

Lingering just down the street from the main housing complex, Alastair leaned back against the wall of one of the buildings, a vague smile on his features, "I had wondered how long it would take you to decide that text was hardly an adequate way to get your point across. Did you tell him what you were doing? Or did you leave little Sammy blissfully unaware? I can only imagine he wouldn't have taken it well if you'd been at all honest." Alastair sighed, talking to the open air. Really, it would only be a matter of time until she happened upon him, and it didn't really matter how much she heard. Only that she caught part of it.

"Though, it would have been nice if he'd insisted on coming along," He drawled to the night air. "Two for one, and a direct line to that little kidling you're so protective of. I'm sure you'd love to see just what I'm thinking of doing with him, with all of them. If I can't persuade Dean back, then I'll just have to start from scratch. How does that sound?" Alastair asked, flicking his gaze at a local who had stopped to stare at him, his features tightening as he glared at them. "What? You've never seen a guy stand on a street corner and talk to himself before? Move along!"

Ruby twitched as he threatened Caden, her disdain showing clearly on her features. No. She wasn't going to strike just yet. He'd be expecting her to charge at him.

And when she struggled in his grip as she was dragged forward, her breath growing short. All she had to do was go straight for knife...no. Not yet. She'd let him think that he had the upper hand...for now.

"I'd tell you to go back to hell, Alistair...but somehow I don't think you'd be insulted."

"I wish it were just that simple, sugar," Alastair drawled, pulling her a bit closer when she didn't move to defend herself with some sort of weapon automatically. She honestly couldn't have been so dumb as to come unarmed, could she? After what he'd already subjected her to, he could hardly think of her being that shortsighted when coming to purposefully confront him. Even so, the longer that she went without pulling a weapon, the more his guard was slowly dropping. "If you could actually manage it, I'd welcome the trip. I'd much rather be in the flame drenched pits poking at hedge fund managers and divorce attorneys. But for right now, you'll do."

All other thoughts and considerations thrown aside, Alastair pulled Ruby forward until his actual hand was around her throat, his eyes flashing all white as he grip tightened, choking off her airway, "Nighty-night. Sleep tight."

Ruby struggled as she was pulled forward. She knew that that it was useless to try, but she wasn't going to stand there and let him toss her around like a beanbag doll. Her hand went to belt as she was pulled forward, reaching frantically for her knife. She just had to get him while he was distracted, and she could end this right here, right now.

Of course, his hand around her throat divided her focus, as she gasped for hair, her grip on her knife growing weaker. She fought hard to stay awake, but the lack of oxygen got to her head, and Ruby's vision blurred. The knife in her hand clanked to the ground, landing with a light thud as her world went to black.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Alastair drawled, dropping her to the ground in favor of picking up the knife that had clattered down next to her. "This again? Oh, dear. It's lovely. Really, it is. But you're going to have to learn some new tricks. Particularly ones that work," He said, turning the knife in his hand and rounding on her unconscious body, quietly tsking as he knelt down next to her, leaning forward with a dark smile on his face.

"You chose the wrong side, but you always were so good at the about-face. There's still plenty of time to change your mind," He said, twisting his hand to lightly drag the knife across this side of her leg, both in an attempt to rouse her and as a way to make his point. "And plenty of ways for me to change it."

	Well, that was certainly going to rouse her. Ruby's eyes fluttered open, snarling as he dragged the knife along the side of her leg. "You're certainly going to have try harder, if that's what you intend to do," she said, struggling to get up. "Your pitch really sucks right now." (Reply to this) (Parent)
