Dean sat in the tree listening for noise. There had been a crash a day ago.

Two days ago:

Dean was sitting in his territory, waiting for something to happen in the forest. His tree house loomed above him. There was a massive crash and the forest dwellers all scattered. Dean, being the crazy one, ran in the direction of the crash. He saw a big thing that had broken into pieces all over the beach. Dean slowly moved over to the wreckage. He heard a moan come from something floating in the water. Carefully, making sure not to step on anything but sand, Dean went over to the water's edge to get a better look at the noise making thing. It appeared to be some kind of monkey. Dean stared angrily at the water, not wanting to get wet. His morality demanded he save the monkey but his pride demanded he remain on dry land. He was, on land, a forest dweller. He swung through the trees like the other monkeys, ran with the leopards, sang with the birds and wrestled with the wolves but water, no. Water was his self proclaimed enemy. There was another groan and Dean's conscience grew unbearable. He grumbled under his breath before diving in. His legs turned into the tail of a fish as the water hit them. He swam with breathtaking speed to the monkey in the water. He put his arms around the monkey and swam expertly back to land. He pushed the monkey onto the sand and it landed on its back. It was not built like most monkeys, more like Dean himself. It had only a patch of hair on its head. It had black hair and pale skin. Dean looked at his reflection in the water. Heavily tanned and freckled. He watched the thing from the water as it coughed and water dribbled from its lips. Its hand went up to its head and it sat up slowly. The sudden movement startled Dean so he sank lower in the water so only his eyes were above water. He felt his gills begin working on his neck, taking in water and using its stock of oxygen before expelling it. Propping an elbow under it for support the creature opened its eyes. Dean was shocked by the blaze of blue that looked out, bright as stars and blue as the flowers that covered the forest floor. Dean watched as the eyes looked at the wreckage and then began scanning around. His eyes landed on the sun tanned forehead and green eyes of Dean in the water. The eyes stayed there for a moment, unblinking. Dean waited for it to move, moving his tail in the water patiently. The green scales shimmered in the clear aqua water. It sat up eyes still on Dean and then got to its feet. Dean moved back and was about to swim away when it put its hands out. Its hands were extended palms up as if welcoming him.

"Hello." It said in a gruff voice. Dean knew the language although it was not the one used in the jungle.

"Hello." Dean said as he watched the creature warily from the water.

"What's your name?" It asked.

"What's your name?" Dean mimicked.

"My name's Castiel." The thing said as it sat down on the sand at the edge of the water.

"My name is Dean." Dean said as it moved farther away slowly.

"Did you save me Dean?" Castiel asked.

"I must go." Dean said suddenly before swimming away quickly. He swam to the other side of the island in about 5 minutes. A new record.
