Hello,

I have to start by saying I do not believe that Castiel is human...not yet anyway. This is intended to be about four chapters...just some thoughts on what happened to our angel while he was missing...thanks for reading, hope you enjoy.

Oh, and by the way, there are many others much more qualified to claim the Supernatural world as theirs...all I have are my thoughts...and a cool scale model of the Impala...


Castiel could not make eye contact with the younger Winchester as he assisted in the mutilation of Jimmy's chest. Sam's eyes were troubled but his hands were steady, which was what the angel needed. Apparently, carving wards meant to dispatch heavenly creatures to places most beings could not survive into the flesh of a vessel was...ill advised. The pain of the carving was barely tolerable, but Castiel endured it because he truly believed this was his last moments of existence and hoped that Sam's faith in his brother was enough to make his sacrifice worth while.

As he entered the warehouse alone, Castiel focused all his energy -all his grace- on the suicide mission at hand, and could feel his fellow angel's presence mere moments before the actual attack. He dispatched his brother quickly, feeling sadness at how easy it had become to take another angel's life.

It seemed the remaining angel guard hoped for safety in numbers, and appeared together, surrounding Castiel. He wondered what had brought him to this moment -when had things become so...wrong. How did it come to pass that the human chosen to be the weapon of heaven's wrath could make an angel lose his faith, first in the law of heaven, then in himself, and the boy with the demon blood could have enough faith for all three of them.

His fellow angels seemed to be wary of their rebellious brother -Castiel had been a formidable warrior in the garrison before his desertion- until he threw down his weapon. They of course assumed that by not holding the sword that he was unarmed. Ripping open his vessel's shirt and placing his bloody hand against the banishment sigil proved that he was in fact one of the more skilled of their ranks. While the white hot agony of banishment consumed them all, Castiel's final thoughts were on the Winchester brothers...and how perhaps this sacrifice would satisfy the demands of fate for the brothers today.


Thank you for reading...feedback is always welcome...and it helps guide the creative thoughts to their outlet...
