***AUTHOR'S NOTE: Honestly, I probably shouldn't post this. Not yet anyway. It's like midnight and I'm really tired and I haven't given it a good read over yet. But let me tell you about how this story came to be. Minecraft. I'm serious. The world I was put into was pretty cool, and very mountainous with lots of little secret valley's and just the landscape gave me the idea for the story. Whatever inspires you I guess, right? Anyway, enjoy. And please stick around for more, I am planning on continuing it.***

"Truth or dare Castiel?"

"Truth."

An irritated sigh passed over Castiel's group of friends. It was a hot summer afternoon and they didn't want to sit around and ask each other stupid questions. They wanted to get into trouble, to have some fun.

"Cas you always pick truth, I don't think there is anything else we can ask you that you haven't already answered." Anna stated as she lay back onto the lush green grass of the hill that was just outside of the village they lived in.

It was honestly the middle of nowhere, surrounded by large hills and mountains that made the area almost inaccessible. It was boring, maybe not for young kids or adults that had work to do, but for a certain age group, it might as well be hell on earth. Still someone 100 or 200 years ago decided that this little valley between the hills was the best place for a village, and so here was their home.

"Common," the brunette next to Anna pouted, "Scared of a little ol' dare Cassy?" Meg smirked a little at the end of her sentence, hoping her mockery would lure Castiel into a dare. Although even she knew it wouldn't work.

"No, I'm not scared of completing whatever task you have set for me, however I do not wish to make a fool of myself as I did last time." Castiel said.

Balthazar began laughing "Oh right, I remember that. We had you steal some of Ellen's stock of alcohol for the inn."

Castiel frowned "Then you proceeded to tell her what I was doing and was chased around town by her and her daughter."

"And don't forget the part where she gave you a spankin' right in the middle of town." Meg added. Castiel swallowed passed the hard lump in his throat and tried to maintain face as everyone in the circle found amusement in his past misery. 18 years old and being disciplined like that in public was probably Castiel's least favorite memory of all time.

"Well there is no way I'm doing something like that again."

"Then how about a dare that is SOOOOOOOOOOO much more interesting." A voice from behind the group chirped.

They all turned around fast to see Castiel's older brother, Gabriel, leaning against a tree with some sort of candy sticking out of his mouth. For Castiel, nothing could get worse. How his older brother had found them and knew what they were talking about was anybody's guess. Gabriel had a way of sneaking up on people, and always knew where to be to stir up a little trouble.

"You've got a dare then for dear old Cas?" Balthazar's eyes it up with interest. Whatever Gabriel had planned, Balthy was in. It annoyed Castiel how much his friends looked up to his older brother.

"I'm not going to do any dares." Castiel said firmly.

"Sure you are baby brother!" Gabriel stepped away from the tree and opened his arms widely, swaying playfully as he walked closer to them. "I've got a GREAT plan, something I've been working on for a while, and you lot are just the group to get it done."

Anna sat up "Something you've been planning for us?"

"Yeah, let's just go ahead and call it my special top secret mission, sure to be rewarding." Gabriel took a quick glance at Cas, Cas looked at Anna. Of all the people that wouldn't go with Gabriel's plans, Anna usually had Castiel's back. But making it sound like a military mission grabbed Anna's interest. She was into those sorts of things.

Gabriel glanced at Meg "We will defiantly be making history, raising a little hell."

And now he had Meg.

"I'm not going through with any dares." Castiel locked eyes with his older brother. Gabriel's normal cheerful expression slowly turned dark.

"Oh you will Cas, you're the star of this little show."

There was one rule in the village; do not go near the cave. It became so common place to avoid it, most of the villagers didn't even think about it, but there it always was. Just south west of the village in a down a little slope and at the bottom of the highest mountain that surrounded the village.

The older people of the village avoided it out of habit, and the children were too afraid to go anywhere near it because of the horror stories it held. The biggest problem was the teenagers. At least once a year, one would dare another to try and enter the cave. However, all attempts to lay siege on the cave had been thwarted by the security guards placed at its entrance.

This time would be different however. This time, the trickster had made the plan.

It was a very simple plan to be honest, which worried Castiel all the more. All the possible things to go wrong turned in his mind as they set out later that evening towards the cave. Once they got close enough, Gabriel lead them off the foot path and they approached the top of the slope through the brush and trees.

They sat in the dark, all waiting for Gabriel's instructions. Castiel had an awful feeling. He was going to be the one to actually enter into the cave. He had no idea what to expect. Gabriel looked around the group. He spent a few moments longer on Castiel then he did the rest, pretty much telling Castiel with his eyes If you screw this up I'm going to make you pay for it tenfold.

They sat quietly for about 5 minutes, waiting for the perfect moment, and when Gabriel saw it he stood up quickly and jumped into the open.

"CHARGE!"

Gabriel and the rest ran down the slope as fast as they could, running straight for the cave. The guards reacted quickly, ready to stop the rebels as soon as they got close. Quick reaction time or not, what they hadn't been ready for was being bombarded by the teens with stink pellets. Within seconds the three were coughing and trying to hold their breaths, trying to get away from the smell. It was all happening very quickly.

Before they knew it, Gabriel was yelling "RETREAT!" pointing away and they all ran off into different directions. Gasping for air and eyes watering, the guards didn't think twice before taking off and chasing after the 4 teens.

Once they were all out of sight, Castiel stood from the hiding spot that his friends jumped out of only moments ago, now it was his turn. He took off, running full tilt towards the cave entrance.

What are you doing? He asked himself. Just turn around and lie! Lie to Gabriel, tell him you went in and that it was just a boring old cave. What am I doing?

By the time that Castiel had decided it would be better to turn back, it was too late.

He was in the cave.
