A/N: Okay, so this is just a random idea I got because Supernatural has consumed all of my spare time lately, which isn't something I have a whole lot of recently. It's just a short little story and I would like feedback on it, before continuing. Also, this pairing is Dean/OC and I really have no idea where it fits in with the timeline. It probably doesn't.

"Castiel!" Piper screamed, looking around bewildered; she stood in the middle of a stand of trees. It was just after midnight and beams of moonlight shone down on her. "Bring your feathered ass down here! I need to speak with you!" There was complete silence for several minutes as the young woman stared around, tears shining in her eyes.

This couldn't be happening. Why was he gone? The past ten days, her world had not only been turned upside down, but given a very violent shake. It ended with the death of her boyfriend. That was such a strange word: boyfriend. Not only that, but it was new to her. It wasn't a term most female hunters could become familiar with; or any hunters for that matter. That only intensified her feeling that all of this was just so damn unfair.

"Castiel!" She shouted, once more looking around. No matter how long it took, Piper was going to stand there and scream, even if she had to stand there all night long. At least the shouting and ranting would keep the tears away.

"You can stop screaming. I'm here." Came a deep voice and Piper whirled around, looking at the stupid angel in his stupid trenchcoat. All she wanted to do was scream and rage until any part of her felt better.

"What have you done to him?" Piper demanded and crossed the distance between them. With a surge of anger, she shoved the angel violently. "Give him back to me. I did everything you ever asked of me, Castiel. And how do you and the rest of those damn angels repay me? You take away the only man I've ever loved!"

"This wasn't me, Piper. The last thing I wanted was for this to happen, because you know I would never do anything to harm Dean."

"Then who was it?"

"I don't know!" Castiel shouted back, which was not something he did. "Piper, I've been doing everything in my power to find answers. While Dean's body lies cold, I've been trying to find a way to bring him back."

"It took me until he was gone to realize how important he was. I need him, Castiel." With that, Piper dropped to her knees and began to cry. It was the first time she had allowed herself to cry since Dean had died a week earlier. Sobs shook her shoulders and Piper felt the entire heartbreak all over again. The pain came crashing down on her in waves, washing over her until it was all she could feel.

"I wish I could take this away from you. It sounds painful." Castiel whispered and knelt to wrap his arms awkwardly around the young woman. Being an angel who did not understand human emotions, tears were not his strong suit. However, having spent enough time around both the Winchesters and Piper, he understand pain. "I'll do anything within my power to give Dean back to you and Sam and Bobby."

"And you." She whispered and buried her face in the angel's shoulder.

Like I said, this was a short little idea I had. I'd really like some responses on it, on if I should continue or not. However, if you don't like the pairing and that is all you are going to complain about, then please don't say anything.
