This it the story of where angels and demons go when they die, in basic terms. I know i'm bad with descriptions but um, this story follows Cael, a recently deceased angel as he tries to find his way back to earth, along with old and new acquaintances, including Meg, Gabriel, and Shax (OC). But to be brought back to life... he must face many difference challenges.

"Sam!" Dean shouted, and tossed the angel blade to his brother. Sam grabbed it swiftly and plunged it up to the hilt into the flesh of the angel in front of him. The angel's fighting stance faded and his eyes widened as light flashed throughout his body. He crumpled, and fell to the ground in front of Sam's feet.

Sam breathed heavily, "Thanks for that."

"What else are brothers for?"

Sam scoffed, "Well . . . another crisis averted. But still, I'm wondering, why did he even kill those people in the first place? What was the point?"

"Don't ask me," He stretched and began to head back to the impala, "You coming Sammy?"

Sam was staring at the dead body lying at his feet, "We should talk to Cas about this."

"Sure, let's just get going. I'm hankering for a burger."

"Hankering? Big word coming from you."

Dean grumbled, "I did some reading." He sat down in the driver seat of the impala, and waited for Sam to get in beside him. He took one last glance at the angel's body, and got into the car beside Dean.

"Should we call Cas then?" Dean asked.

"Call me for what?"

Dean swerved the car slightly and turned around to face the angel who had just appeared in the backseat, "Jesus, Cas, I thought I told you to stop doing that."

"What's going on?" Castiel inquired, leaning forward slightly.

"An angel, think his name was Cael," Sam answered, "We were wondering if you knew him."

"Cael?" Castiel blinked, "You said Cael, right?"

When Sam nodded, Castiel's expression turned soft.

"Cael is a friend."

"Cas," Dean began, unsure of what to say, "He… died."

"What?"

"He killed some university students in the last town we were in, so… we ganked him," Dean concluded.

"I… I see."

Castiel leaned back against the seat, "That… doesn't make sense, Cael might have been a soldier but he never directly harmed humans."

"Sorry to tell you this, Cas, but he did." Dean hit a stop light and then turned to look at Castiel, "Well, he's in a better place now. Or not."

"You know, I've been wondering about that," Sam said.

Dean intervened, "Wondering 'bout what?"

"Where do angels go where they die?"

Castiel looked confused, "I'm not sure."

"Well, you've died before, right?" Sam continued, "Do you remember anything?"

"No… I simply remember dying and then waking up again. I have no recollection of what happens between that."

"That's kind of strange, I mean, angels don't have a soul, right? So… you don't go to heaven or hell, or even purgatory. What, do you just… disappear?"

"Does it really matter?" Dean interrupted, seeing that Castiel had begun to look uncomfortable.

Sam sighed, "Sorry."

"Sam, I don't know the answer. I wish I did." Castiel's voice drifted off.

It was… auburn. As far as the eye could see, was that brisk, auburn colour. It blended the walls and floor of the cavern until they were almost undistinguishable from one another. There were people wandering around, but still, their clothes, their hair, their eyes, constantly reflected the auburn within them.

In the centre of this cavern, was a tree. Not surprisingly, also an auburn colour. It had an extremely large trunk, and full branches of leaves. Not a single leaf had fallen from it. In front of the tree, was a small pond, not coincidentally, it had auburn coloured water. But then were the two doorways.

Facing one side of the tree, was a large black hole, darkness seeping through its cascades of warm air. Staring into its depths caused you to feel as though you were falling, deeper, and deeper into its empty blackness.

However, on the other side, was what looked like a sun. Its light was cold, piercing through you as you squinted at it, its sharpness practically cutting out your soul.

This was what was left of the Garden of Eden. It was no longer a sanctuary, no longer a place of peace, no longer even a garden. All there was left was the tree of Knowledge situated at the centre, but it bore no fruit, and never changed seasons.

There was no wind, there in the Garden. The water was always still, and the tree's leaves never fell.

They couldn't even touch it. The angels, that is.

The dead angels that came through the sun, were unable to even trace their fingers across it without burning them. However, the demons who had come through the black hole could touch it just fine.

But on the other hand, the angels could touch the water of the pond, while the demons could not. It did not make much sense to either kind why this was, but no one questioned it.

There was nothing to do. It was completely silent in the Garden. Tense. Aggravated. No one uttered a single word.

The sun shone brighter for a moment, and an angel walked through. He was short and thin, the vessel he was in looking to be about fourteen. His blonde hair was also shaggy, practically covering his brown eyes.

"What is this place?"

Everyone had turned to look at him.

An angel who had been sitting by the pond, stood up and walked over to the kid, "A newcomer, huh? Who killed you?"

"Winchester."

"We've got another gift here from the Winchesters, guys!" The angel called out behind him, and several snickers rose up from the crowd.

The kid stared up at the other angel, "Wait a second… are you… Gabriel?"

"In the flesh," Gabriel laughed, "Well, not exactly but you get the point."

"...You son of a bitch!" The boy shouted and lunged himself at Gabriel, and pulled out the angel blade he had hidden in his sleeve and stabbed Gabriel.

A smirk appeared on Gabriel's face as his body crumpled to the ground, light flashing through it, growing brighter and brighter until the kid was forced to look away. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Gabriel's body was gone.

The sun flickered slightly, and Gabriel walked back through it, "You see, kid, you can't kill someone again here. Mind telling me what you were trying to attack me for back there?"

"It's Cael, Gabriel." Cael said indignantly.

Gabriel stared at him. His eyes were wide, when he suddenly broke into a grin, "Cael? It's great to see you. Nice to see you've kept yourself young. Moisturizer?"

"Shut it Gabriel," Cael pushed past him and then looked around, "Like I said, what is this place."

A demon smirked down at the boy from inside the tree, "Welcome to the Garden of Eden, kid. Hope you enjoy your stay. Perhaps you'd like a penthouse suite?"

Cael turned up his lip at her and then began to walk towards the tree.

"I- wouldn't," Gabriel began when he saw Cael getting closer, but then he chortled, "You know what, go ahead."

Cael was a foot away from the tree, "What is this."

"Hm?"

"Why is it burning."

"It's always like that, Cael." Gabriel replied, disappointed Cael hadn't found out the hard way.

Cael glanced up once more at the demon, bared his teeth for a moment at her, then turned back to Gabriel, "How do we get out."

"You don't, kid. We're stuck here."

"You're lying."

"Do I look like a liar to you?" Gabriel grinned.

"More like a trickster."

Gabriel stared at Cael contently, "That's just what I like to hear."
