A/N: I have only seen the first 7 seasons of supernatural and the beginning of season 8.
Summary: The Winchesters and Castiel take Katheryn out for a ride.
She smiled happily as she felt the horse move underneath her, it had been forever since she had gotten a chance to rid again. The wind in her hair, the rhythmic beating of the horses hooves on the grass. The beautiful black mare was a perfect fit, she had never been so comfortable while riding. She wanted nothing more than go as fast as she could, because honestly there was no better feeling than riding a horse in full gallop. She let out an exited whoop as it leaped into the air over a fallen tree. She pulled slightly at the reins and slowed the horse down, steering it back to the boys. She had been hunting with the Winchesters for over 2 years now, it was quite exiting. You know, hunting things. But she missed her normal activities, sitting on a couch reading a book, watching Doctor who in the sofa, those kind of things. They just didn't have time for that anymore. If she read it would be about the creature they were hunting, and she only watch the news. If they had free time they'd spend it at a bar or asleep. She brought her horse to a stop when she reached the fence where they were leaning on. "I don't think I have seen you this relaxed before, Katheryn." Said Dean with a small smile. "Well I don't get much chance to relax when we are on the road now do I?" she retorted. "Suppose so."
"I just wish you would come along, I would love to see you ride." She whined, pulling out her puppy eyes. "I have told you before, I am not getting on a horse." "Are you scared or something?" his face hardened ever so slightly and she knew she had him. Dean hated being called weak, and now he only had two chances, in his mind, either climb on a horse or admit he was scared. "I am most certainly not." "Prove it." She said smugly. "Fine! But only if Sam comes as well." He grinned at his brother. They didn't like to admit it but they had quite an ego and Sam wouldn't let his brother belittle him. "No problem. I have actually been on a horse before." Dean snorted loudly. "Yeah right, you sat on a horse ages ago." "Really?" she had never heard of this before. "Yeah, when we were hunting down that phoenix." "You up for it Castiel?" the angel had been quiet so far, but she couldn't help but wonder what the mighty angel might do on the back of a horse. "I do not see why not. I will join, yes." He said. The boys went to get a horse out of the stables and quickly returned once that the horses had been saddled up.
They came out of the stables with their horses. Dean was holding the reigns of a slim but big black and white horse, he looked at it nervously when it snorted and threw his head in the air, Sam on the other had was holding on to a grey strongly build mustang. It was bigger than her mare, who was already quite big. And Castiel came out a white mare that had the same build as hers. He at least seemed comfortable with the animal, stroking its nose and whispering to it in enochian. They stopped next to her and stared a little confused at the creatures. "Well go on then, get on." She smiled. Sam who had done it before carefully place his foot in the strap, and with the grace of a disabled goose pushed himself up, practically dropping himself on the horse. Dean mimicked his brother's movements, but when his foot was in the strap the horse started to move forward, he grabbed on to the saddle and unhappily hopped alongside till he was able to remove his foot. She and Sam started to laugh but stopped when Dean threw them a death look. Castiel approached Dean's horse and grabbed the reigns. "Try again." She was surprised at that, Cas seemed to know his way around horses. Again, this time with a little more caution he pushed himself up, and after a bit of struggling found himself secure in the saddle. "Now how are you going to get on your horse?" Sam said. "There isn't anyone left to…" but he stopped halfway his sentence when Castiel easily swung himself unto the horse, with all the grace of, well an angel. Upon seeing all of their surprised faces the angel explained. "I am a soldier of the lord, I have been alive for millennia, I have ridden a horse before." Sam held his hands up in surrender. "I get it, a knight in shining armour. The real deal." Castiel looked down confused. "I am not wearing any armour?" "It is a just a saying, never mind."
Sam sighted, rolling his eyes at the angels confusion. They started with a simple trot. In the beginning she tried to tell them how to ride probably, but in the end she decided she would be perfectly content if no one got hurt. They were out in the open when she suggested a gallop, the boys were reluctant, but she had no problem persuading them. She send her horse in full speed and the rest followed. Quickly she found Castiel ridding beside her. He rode perfectly, as if he had been for centuries, which he probably had. She threw a quick glance behind her and let out a loud laugh at the sight, they were holding on as best as they could as their horses sprinted behind hers, they were trying to find a way to not fall of. "Just let your hips do all the work! Just let it happen!" she yelled to them. Castiel was going faster so she did to, he kept on getting faster and she realised the angel was trying to show he was faster than her. He was challenging her! She edged her horse on and stood up in her straps, allowing her horse to go at full speed. The angel quickly followed her example, his brown trench coat waving in the wind behind him like a cape. They were neck on neck going full of speed, adrenalin filled her as she let out another exited whoop. She looked to her side and saw a smile on the angels face, his eyes were closed and the wind blew in his face, sending his hair in every direction. He was completely calm and it felt so out of element to see him in such a state of grace. He looked so natural. When he looked back she turn her head away, realising that she had been staring.
They slowed down a bit, not wanting to overdo their horses. When they looked behind them they saw Dean and Sam coming towards them, Dean seemed to be getting the hang of it, as he no longer looked like a rag doll tied to the saddle, Sam on the other hand, was practically clinging to the neck of the horse, though there was a certain amount of thrill on his face. Their horses stopped when they reached them. The hunters sat back up and let out a deep sigh. "Oh come on, don't tell me that wasn't amazing!" "Well, it wasn't horrible." Dean answered, she smiled happily as they started to return, and they decided to not go into gallop again, because she was rather sure that they wouldn't all still be in the saddle at the end. The rest of the ride they talked and joked around, and she felt so perfectly at ease, wishing that time could just freeze for a little while. But eventually the ranch was back in sight and the ride was coming to an end. She desperately wanted to have a last sprint, but wasn't sure if she should. However when she met Castiel's eyes she knew that it was going to happen.
Slowly they started to go faster, it didn't take long before Sam realized what they were planning. "Wait, Katheryn. Don't you dare." But just then her horse flew in gallop, quickly followed by the rest, Cas smiled brightly when they started again. It had been forever since he had gotten to ride. It happened so rarely but when it did he found that he loved it. He often found that horses were one of god's best creations yet. They finally reached a halt when they got to the fence again. Sam and Dean were completely shaken but she catches them smile in amusement. She and Cas were able to dismount without any problems. Sam got of the horse, but with a little less grace, and Dean, well the horse didn't seem to want to stand still when it should. He had thrown his leg over the horse and was about to touch down when it jumped forward, he lost his balance and landed on his butt. This time they couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing as Dean grumpily got up, brushing the dust of him. "Not funny." He growled. They unsaddled the horses and returned them to their stables. When they were walking towards the impala she threw her arms around Dean. "Thank you for this Dean, it was amazing." "Well we couldn't just let your birthday pass without celebrating now could we?" she let him go and hugged the other two just as fiercely. Sam grabbed her by her waist lifting her up. She let out a surprised squeal. She did not like being picked up, she wasn't that small, and he was just a bloody giant. Of course when she gave Castiel a hug he awkwardly placed his arms around her, not sure what to do with them.
The next morning, she heard a painful moan coming from the rooms of the brothers as they got out of bed. She giggled slightly at the fact that these brave hunters could get stiff of just an hour on a horse back.
