Jo's P.O.V.

Rating: T

Characters: Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle

Genre: Romance/ Mystery

Summary: It's been a year since Jo was brought back as a Witness in Osiris's case against Dean. Jo was returned to Hell afterwards. Now, she's back topside, and she claims Castiel rescued her. That

would be perfect, but Castiel has been dead for more than a year.

They tore at me, shredding flesh and clothes. This appended every day, twenty-three hours a day. At the end of each day, a demon would come and try to persuade me to give up. If I did, I wouldn't have to be on the rack anymore; I would be torturing other poor souls. Each and every day, for what seemed like a hundred years, I would tell him to screw himself. Until one day, when I broke.

The day seemed as normal as any other day in Hell could be. I was tortured nonstop, died, and restarted the whole thing. Then, at about the middle of the day, things changed. I felt a warm breeze blow through the torture chambers, then screams echoed throughout the cavernous rooms. They were screams of hock and fear. My torturers whispered amongst themselves, and I caught a snippet of a conversation. "An angel has broken in."

I began to feel hope, but squashed the tiny sliver of hope, because there was no way an angel had broken in again. The only other time that had happened, Dean had been rescued by Cas, and that was only because he had to fight in the Apocalypse. The angel walked over to me, and I couldn't believe what I saw. I saw the face and usual trench coat of Jimmy Novak/ Castiel, my friend.

"Cas?"

"If you are asking if I am the angel, Castiel, you are correct. Are you not Joanna Beth Harvelle?" Something was wrong with him. He seemed…like he did when Sam and Dean first met him.

"I-I think."

I started freaking out. Cas put two fingers to my head and said, "Be still," and I fell asleep.
