Castiel ran as fast as he could a bag carry mere essentials digging into his shoulder, his chest pinched each breath aching at the release. "Castiel! Castiel! Get back here you abomination! You can run boy but mark my word I'll find you! I always do!"
Castiel's eyes snapped open as the sound of his Father's voice echoed in his ears. He lay still on the cold floor giving his brain time to catch-up and register his location as the panic slowly disappeared. There was no way his Father could find him, one thing Castiel was good at was covering his tracks a trait he had learnt so no one could follow him. Slowly and carefully he sat up leaning against a wall while looking around his current location. A bus station, two days of non-stop traveling, hitchhiking and walking he had finally reached the last leg of his journey. One more lengthy bus ride he would finally be in Lawrence, Kansas in the hopes of starting clean with his Brother. Out of all his siblings Gabriel was the one who had helped him the most, when they still lived under the same roof he had covered for Castiel and protected him from their Father. A strictly Religious man who had cruel ways of punishment and once Gabriel left without a word but a single promise to Castiel that one day he would come get him. Castiel felt the full-brunt of what his Father truly thought of him and Gabriel.
He stood up slowly and stretched his muscles that for the last couple hours had been scrunched up in a ball while he slept uneasily, his muscles loosened and bones cracked relieving the pressure. He had always feared of sleeping too deeply, years of enduring early Mass with his Father and siblings had taught him to almost sleep with one eye open and be completely aware of his surrounding, his Father had always been unpredictable and when he felt one of children had done wrong, he felt no remorse for waking them at different times to repent for their apparent sins. Sometimes it would be physically dragged to Church to pray for forgiveness or a much more severe punishment. Of course depending how their Father was feelings.
He grabbed his bag which held items and clothing he was able to find and pack before making the escape that he had been planning for years since Gabriel left, he walked through the silent bus station other travellers still sleeping, and briefly took note of when his bus was due to leave and headed for the bathroom.
For a 17-year-old Castiel was short and scrawny with dark hair and bright blue eyes which was a very obvious difference to his siblings who were all tall and similar in appearance and personality, even Gabriel had inherited similarities to his other Brothers but also had an air of power around him which made Castiel feel very much like the black sheep of the family. Something which his Father had used to his advantage, but unlike his Brothers, Castiel was a deep thinker he always considered every possibility and scenerio before making a concrete decision the same could be said about Gabriel who although had openly admitted he could be a coward at time had found strength to leave the Family Home.
He looked into the mirror his shocked reflection staring back at him; he took in his appearance slowly. Under the messy black hair bruises and cuts stood out against his pale skin, a black and blue bruise had slowly spread across his cheekbone and his lip had slowly started to heal. He touched the bruise gingerly while wincing, he had gotten a lot worse on his body to avoid questions from concerned neighbours and fellow towns people he was only ever punished on his body so clothes could cover the evidence. He had become very wary of the looks passer-by's were giving him and whispers of curiosity although if anyone asked he said he fell down the stairs and was extremely accident prone.
He sat away from the crowd ignoring the stares and feelings of paranoia and worry that his Father was about to burst in at any moment. His stomach growled in protest several times as he considered the many scenarios of what would happen once he got to Lawrence.
"Bus 10 departing to Lawrence, Kansas in 10 minutes."
A/N: This is my first Supernatural Fanfic, it's pretty scary because I've read so many amazing fanfictions so it's pretty daunting
