Author's Note: This is my first fic and I really wanted to share it. Reviews and helpful criticisms are welcome. Hopefully I will update often, but I am making no promises. Sorry it's so short at the moment, but nonetheless...Enjoy!
Castiel awoke to the feeling of warmth next to him. This was odd in the fact that Castiel did not sleep, being that he is an angel, and also because that warmth was radiating from a semi-naked female lying beside him. Alarmed, he attempted to take flight, but he found that he could not. He pushed aside the cheap, scratchy sheets that were covering him and fled to the bathroom. Upon looking in the mirror, he did not see the face of Jimmy Novak, the face he had grown accustomed seeing, but the face of Castiel's dear (human) friend, Dean Winchester.
Castiel jumped back in panic. He ran his fingers across the familiar face that he had grown to love. "How have I manifested myself into this form?" Castiel thought as he stood staring in the clouded mirror at his new visage. Upon thinking this, Castiel left the small restroom. Trying not to wake the unfamiliar woman in bed, Castiel moved to Dean's travel bag, searching for appropriate attire.
Having gotten used to the suit and trench coat, Castiel found it uncomfortable sporting Dean's clothing. But nonetheless, Castiel put on Dean's usual clothes, grabbed Dean's belongings, and carefully left the hotel room.
When outside the room, Castiel looked round the parking lot to find the Impala. He walked to it and unlocked the car. He opened the door and slid into the backseat where he normally sat and took out Dean's portable communication device. After a few minutes, Castiel figured out how to turn the device on and went to the contacts of Dean's phone. The only people listed were Sam and Bobby's multiple phones. Castiel went to the name "Sammy" and hit call.
The phone rang for three tones until there was an answer. "Hello?" Sam answered from the other line, sounding groggy, as if Castiel had just awoken him, which he probably had.
"Sam-"Castiel tried to answer as Sam cut him off.
"Dean, I have been trying to call you all night. What happened to you?" Sam shouted.
"That's the problem, Sam. I don't know what happened because I'm not Dean. This is Castiel."
