A/N: This is something short drabble story based on the song "Sound the Bugle" by Brian Adams. This is my take on when Castiel went into the lake and what he complicates will happen next. The song lyrics will be in italics, as well as the prayer Dean says (as well as in bold). Hope you enjoy this short!

Disclaimer: I do not own the show Supernatural, nor the song "Sound the Bugle".

Sound the bugle now

Play it just for me

As the seasons change,

Remember how I used to be.

This darkness-how long have I been in it? Does it even matter? This is an endless pit for me, but I can't escape. I won't try now. I have a sense of dread cast heavily over me. I know what I've done wrong. I had tried to fix it, but I had only had it worse. I didn't wish to try anymore.

Now I can't go on,

I can't even start.

I've got nothing left,

Just an empty heart.

How could I have done what I did? Why was I so arrogant in my belief that I was doing the right thing? I left my only friends-I deserve to die. I can't escape from this-maybe it is for the best; I will not be a burden to them anymore. I shouldn't care-what's done is done. I have had many battles in my lifetime-perhaps this was one I was supposed to lose. The battle with myself.

I'm a solider, wounded so I must give up the fight.

There's nothing more for me-lead me away,

Or leave me lying here.

This blackness is unending; it seems I can never get out. I'm lost and I wonder if I will always be here-maybe I should. Nobody would ever come to save me-I don't deserve to be saved. I betrayed by family, my father, my friends-this is the price.

Sound the bulge now,

Tell them I don't care.

There's not a road I know that leads to anywhere.

Without a light, I fear that I will stumble in the dark.

Lay right down-decide not to go on.

I have come to terms with what I've done. I'm certain that this is the best. I stay here, have everyone forget me, and I die. I have nothing to live for. I'm wallowing in pity I feel too late. I want so much to make things right though-but I doubt that they would want me….

Cas, can you hear me? Cas, please, you got to come back. Bobby's dead, Sam's losing his marbles, and I don't know what do to. I have nobody left. God, I need you back here Cas.

There from on high, somewhere in the distance,

There's a voice that calls, remember who you are.

If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow.

So be strong tonight-remember who you are.

Dean. The name registers in my head-he's calling for me. Why? Have I not caused him enough pain- wouldn't he be better off without me? Yet he called me. Suddenly I don't want to be left in this darkness. I need to get to Dean- I need to make things right. Maybe I can still fix this. I fight the darkness that now fights against me, threatening to hold me down. I force my wings to spread, and fly out of the darkness. The smell of fresh air has never felt that heavenly to me before- but it does not. My eyes adjust to the light, and I'm free.

Yeah you're a solider now, fighting in a battle

To be free once more,

Yeah that's worth fighting for.

Dean. His name keeps ringing in my head- I have to make it back to him. I spread my wings and glance to the sky. I could do it- I could make things right. I had to.

A/N: Yayyy! So yeah, this just popped into my head. I'm aware that this may not be the best piece of writing ever, but I felt the need to write this. You should go listen to the song while reading this ^^. Drop a review so I know how this went!
