Intrigue

In the quiet darkness of the night, the flutter of wings jerked Dean from his sleep. The noise had now become something like a quiet alarm clock. He almost always listened for it, hoping to hear the approach of , however, as he rolled over to greet his angel, there was not Castiel, but Blathazar standing there. Balthazar was leaned all too casually against the far wall of the motel room, his face cast into shadow, but his strong form was impossible to mistake for anyone else.

Dean would have shivered if he could have possibly moved at all. Balthazar was exerting power over him and it was both terrifying and exhilarating. "I'm going to figure it out soon enough Dean… Just you wait…"
