Chapter one
A/N I don't own supernatural or any of it's characters. I just got this idea and decided to give it life.
Castiel's P.O.V.
I had some free time and decided to get myself a bacon cheeseburger, the waitress who was serving me was looking at me oddly. I do not understand why, I didn't speak much I just asked her for one bacon cheeseburger. The way Dean had told me to, he said I shouldn't say too many words to other people, they apparently would "freak out," whatever that means.
"Wow for a guy dressed so fancy, you sure don't mind eating in a place like this." She said giggling, I looked at her curiously.
"I do not understand what you mean," I said, she just giggled harder and started twirling her hair with her fingers.
"You're wearing a suit, tie and a trenchcoat. And you're eating in a fast food place." She said in that tone Dean uses to mockingly explain things to me.
"Normally, I don't eat, but I have a certain taste for these burgers, they make me happy." I said cheerfully as I took a bite of the delicious burger, smiling at the taste of it. I looked over to the waitress and I saw her looking at me now with curiosity, oh no, I've said something wrong again.
"What do you mean 'normally you don't eat?' Of course you do," she said making that weird giggling noise again. This was beginning to make me uncomfortable.
"Um...yes." I said awkwardly, trying to remember to lie like Dean said.
'I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. Shit!' I heard a familiar voice go off in my head.
"Would you excuse me for a moment?" I said to her and quickly walked out of the store, the waitress looked a bit sad but I had no time to explain to her. I had to get away from view, Dean said that people are unaccustomed to a person disappearing in the middle of a crowded place.
I walked down an alley and with a flutter of wings I was gone and in the basement of a house, it was quite dark, I turned around and Dean was just about to be stabbed by a demon, I ran up to the Demon and killed him.
"Cas?" Dean said shocked, "How'd you know that I needed help?" He was injured and his blood was everywhere, I felt something inside, I'm not sure what and I quickly put two fingers on his forehead and healed him.
"Hello Dean, you prayed and I answered," I said smiling at him as he stood up and smiled at me gratefully.
"Thanks Cas, you saved my ass," he said, I picked his gun off the floor and handed it to him, he took it and tucked it into his back pocket, he ripped the Demon knife out of the Demon's grip and held on to it.
"Where's Sam?" I asked calmly.
"I don't know we got separated, there are literally Demons everywhere." Dean replied chewing on his bottom lip looking around cautiously.
"I will look for him, be careful Dean, we need to talk about this later." I said and gave him a look that said 'you call if anyone comes, no excuses.' And with that, I was gone and quickly flying through the house, too fast for anyone to see and it wasn't long before I found Sam running down a corridor from 3 Demons. I ran up and grabbed two of their faces and killed them, the other Demon stabbed me with a knife. It didn't hurt but Jimmy's body began to bleed, I ripped the knife out and dropped it on the floor with a loud clang. The Demon looked terrified as I healed my wound, he lifted the knife and ran away. I turned around to make sure Sam was okay, he was hunched over in the corner in pain.
"Boy am I glad to see you Cas," Sam grunted, relief washing over his face, I healed him and grabbed his shoulder and with that we were right beside Dean.
"Sammy, you alright?" Dean asked worriedly.
"Yeah, Cas saved my life." Sam said smiling.
Dean looked at me, there were so many emotions on his face, I wasn't quite sure what it was saying. I put my two hands on the brothers' shoulders and we were at the motel room.
Dean had called me earlier that day to tell me they were going on a simple 'ghost haunting a house' mission and I was to relax and take a day to myself. Some ghost.
"Why were there a lot of Demons?" I asked, once the boys had sat on their beds cheerfully.
"I have no idea, what we thought was a ghost turned out to be a Demon, before we knew it, one Demon turned into two, until they must have set up a beacon or something. They were everywhere" Dean said, lifting a beer bottle from the fridge and drinking from it.
"Yeah, I don't know why they all just showed up but there has got to be more to this than meets the eye." Sam said lifting his laptop and beginning making his 'Research Face.'
"Dean, when you told me to relax, which is a foreign concept to me, I heard you in my head saying repeatedly "I'm going to die." Why did you not think to call me sooner?" I said, trying to keep myself under control, I felt something, but I wasn't sure what and it was making my anger rise or was it something else?
Dean looked into my eyes for a moment, he seemed to find something in my expression because he turned serious then. "Cas, I'm sorry look, I know I should have called you alright? I'm sorry, we didn't mean to make you worry." Dean said sincerely as he put his hand on my shoulder.
"Dean, I understand you like to be independent and handle yourself, but when there is so many Demons and you're outnumbered by an army, that is the time you call me." I said, my voice sounded a little hurt, Dean looked down to the floor in shame.
"I really am sorry Cas." Dean said and he looked into my eyes, I could see how sorry he was and I gave him a small smile in return.
"It's okay Dean, just make sure next time, you call me before it's too late." I said, I don't know what happened, I was angry at Dean one minute and then that one look, and I couldn't stay that way.
I felt a tugging sensation, it meant I was being summoned, I just didn't know by who, considering the two people most likely to summon me was right here.
"Dean!" I shouted and I was pulled to the place I was summoned, I was standing in a warehouse, I looked around but saw no one, the alter they summoned me with was in front of me. I saw a lit lighter fly towards me, and the floor around me lit up.
'No!' I thought to myself.
"Well hello there Angel." An unfamiliar voice said, I looked towards the noise and I saw a woman walking towards me.
"Who are you?" I asked, standing tall. I didn't want any Demons to think I was intimidated, I will admit, holy fire scares me.
"My name is Scarlet and you are not going anywhere," she said smirking at me.
"Why have you summoned me here?" I asked, keeping my expression emotionless.
"You saved the Winchesters." She said calmly. "And I wont let you do that again." There are no windows here, and most importantly, no water. You cannot escape that circle and I am going to make sure you can't." She laughed then, she had a whip with her, it seemed to be soaked in something.
"Why are you after the Winchesters?" I asked, unable to hide the anger in my voice.
"Oh no, we're not after them, per say. They are looking for something we have. I will not allow them to get it and if they die in the process? Well...that's even better." She said walking slowly towards me.
"You will not harm the Winchesters!" I said angrily, 'I will not allow them to hurt Dean no matter what I have to do!' I thought to myself.
"Tut tut tut Angel, I don't think you are in any position to be making threats." She said laughing, she threw her whip at my face, it burned my skin and I yelped in shock. I could feel Jimmy's blood run down my face; it was covered in holy oil.
She kept throwing the whip laughing as I screamed in pain, I couldn't go anywhere, I just had to stand there and make sure I didn't stumble into the holy fire.
'Cas? Cas? Are you okay? Where are you? Why aren't you answering huh? What happened? Dammit, get your feathery ass here now!' I could hear Dean shouting in my head, I didn't know what else to do.
'Gabriel, if you can hear me, I need help. I'm in a warehouse of some kind, Demons have me trapped here, please brother! I'm in a lot of pain, they are trying to protect something the Winchesters need and if the Winchesters get in the way. Which you know they will, they will kill them. They don't want me to protect them...Brother they are torturing me please help!' I prayed as fast as I could despite the pain I felt.
"Oh, don't bother with that praying thing of yours, you may be able to pray to whoever you want but they will not find you here. We don't have anti-angel sigils. Which would be a beacon to the angels and then they could alert the Winchesters, but we have a few anti-angel hex bags so they can't find you. What? Do you think we're stupid?" She asked laughing and still throwing her whip at any piece of me she could get, I was in so much pain.
I didn't answer her, I just tried to grit my teeth and get through it, whip after whip.
'Don't worry little brother, I'll be there soon' Gabriel replied worriedly. I smiled a little gratefully and Scarlett stopped and looked at me expectantly.
"When I get out of here, you will be the first Demon I kill." I promised her, she was a little shocked at my spirit being unbroken, but she quickly gathered herself.
"Don't worry, that will never happen, you will be trapped here forever," she laughed and walked out of the warehouse and I was left standing there alone.
'Dean, please...help me.' I prayed, knowing full well that Dean wouldn't hear me.
