Broken Road

SPN SEASON 8-Fanfic

By: Babynthetrenchcoat (Ashley Puls)

Dean and Castiel just killed Dick Roman, leader of the Leviathans. Now they're in purgatory. Glowing red eyes surrounding them from the monsters that they both have killed. Dean soon wakes up and Castiel explains to him. An idea pops into his head and takes off. This causes Dean's heart to drop, being all alone in a jail where half the inmates he put there. His voice threatens to crack but he calls Castiel's name without answer. The monsters moving closer to him, like the fresh meat that he is. Quickly Castiel appears in front of him grabbing his arm and they appear near a cave opening. When Dean looks around he sees the Angel has found a high mountian like area high above the lurking red eyed demons. Castiel leads him into the cave and there is a large rock and medium rock next to each other like a cover. He puts Dean there and nods to him

"You need rest Dean. I will keep watch."

Dean hasn't been able to say a word this whole time, in almost a short state of shock. What about Sam..what happened with him..Emotions start to flood through Dean. But he shakes it off telling himself he has to be strong for both his little brother and his guardian. Dean looks up to the angel, even though its pitch black in the cave he sense where his angel is.

"I thought you were gonna honestly just..leave. I'm sorry for doubting you."

Cas can't help but give a slight chuckle in his response

"Well Dean..I haven't done too much that would give you a reason to trust me as of late...I am sorry about that..."

Dean can hear the sadness in his voice, it almost breaks his heart hearing how broken he is. He has lost his home, his family, even his grace for him. There was no doubt in his mind that Castiel loved him, Dean knew he loved Castiel too. He was a part of his small family, and he wasn't going to lose him, he'd die before he'd let that happen- and that didn't even stop him. All he knew now is that he needed rest. His body ached for sleep, so he curled up against the rocks putting his hands around his body inside his jacket. He took one last glance up seeing Castiel still standing on the other side of the rocks keeping a close eye on the entrance. He then rested his head as best as he could and fell asleep. He awoke to having Castiel's trenchcoat laid on him like a blanket. Fear building up in that split second of touching the coat he bolted up

"Cas!"
