God's Advocate: The Beginning
(This story/chapter comes from the show Supernatural. I do not own the charters Dean, Sam, Bobby, Chuck, Zachariah and Castiel (Cas). I created this story/chapter from the ending of the fourth season of Supernatural.)
(As the Devil's Gate begin to open and Lucifer begins to make his way to Earth…)The boys sprint to the only doors in the room to escape. "Damn it!" Dean yells as the doors slam shut before they can get out. They stare at the door terrified thinking of what's happening behind them. The light coming from the Devil's Gate gets brighter and brighter and then fades. They open their eyes hesitantly.
"What the…" Sam begins but doesn't finish. They see they are in an open part of a field or lawn.
Dean looks around in order to try and gather where they might be. He glances over to his left and sees dim lighting coming from a house or barn that was on the other side of the field.
"Well, it looks like houses over there. Guess we're walking," Sam points out.
The houses are about quarter mile away. They begin to make their way to them. There is an uneasiness between the two of them. Sam stops walking. Dean notices and asks, "What?"
"Dean, I'm sorry," Sam starts.
Dean puts his hand up, "Don't."
"No! We need to talk about this," Sam snaps back.
"And say what exactly?" Dean asks. Sam looks down at the ground. "I know you're sorry and all but…I just don't think I can forgive you right now," Dean says. Sam looks up at him and nods his head that he understands. "For right now, let's figure out where we are and what the hell happened," Dean recommends. They both begin walking again.
Both of the boys are touchy about the subject of what happened. (Sam chose a demon over his brother and as it turned out. the demon tricked Sam into releasing Lucifer from Hell in order to start the Apocalypse). Sam feels horrible about what happened. He wishes he could take it all back. He doesn't think things will ever be the same between him and Dean.
The boys walked up to the house and pulled the old "we ran out of gas, can we use your phone" routine. Sam decided to call Bobby while Dean chatted with the homeowners. Dean found out that they were in Ellicott City. Sam hung up with Bobby after telling him where they were. Bobby agrees to come and get them. He was already in Pennsylvania. The boys thanked the people and left.
"Well we didn't get very far now did we," Dean comments.
"Yeah but who helped? Think it was Cas?" Sam asks.
Dean runs his hand through his hair, "Honestly? No." Both fell silent.
"Maybe we should go a find a diner or something," Sam suggests.
"Yeah, good idea then we'll call Bobby again and tell where to pick us up," Dean replies. The boys go and steal a car and head downtown. They stop at a small restaurant. Before going in, Dean calls Bobby. They get a table and order. While eating Dean and Sam hardly say a word to each other. They try to drag out the meal for as long as they can…
Sam stares at his brother, who is avoiding eye contact. "Dean…" he begins but is cut off by his phone ringing.
"Chuck? Whoa slow down…yeah we'll be there as soon as we can," Sam states.
"What's up?" Dean questions rather concerned.
"He says that we need to come see him. He doesn't know what to do. He's freaking out," Sam informs. Just then, Bobby walks into the diner. The boys pay and rush out the door.
"What's all happened?" Bobby asks. Sam and Dean exchange glances.
"We'll explain on the way. We need to go see Chuck," Dean announces. The drive to Chuck's is uncomfortable for all three of didn't want to tell Bobby, at least not at first. He didn't want Bobby to hate him. He already feels like he lost his brother. He doesn't want to lose the closest thing he has to a father as well.
Chuck's house looked fine from the front. They all walked inside and saw the amount of destruction done by the archangels. "This doesn't look good," Sam says while starring at blood spatter on the walls.
"Chuck!" Dean shouts out. Noise come from a closet and so does Chuck. "What happened?" Dean demands to know.
"Cas…Cas…" Chuck stammers.
"He what?" Bobby asks.
"He couldn't handle them. They were just too strong," Chuck informs. Dean punches the wall.
"He's dead," Sam says shocked.
Chuck nods his head, "I'm sure of it."
"I don't believe it," Sam says.
"It's all my fault. I never should've talked him into helping us," Dean confesses.
"I didn't know him very well but he didn't deserve this," Bobby states. The others nod in agreement.
A few minutes go by with an absence of sound. Someone whistles and then says, "Now this is a mess." All the guys stare.
"You're pretty brave comin here yourself," Dean states to Zachariah.
"Oh don't be mad at me. He brought this upon himself," Zachariah replies. Dean's temper rises. "Time to come with me Dean," Zachariah says.
Dean looks around, "I don't think so."
Zachariah takes a few steps closer, "I've had enough playing around. You will obey."
"What? Are you going to kill us?" Dean asks.
"Oh no. Just think of this as persuasion," Zachariah replies. Dean can feel tightness in his stomach and then an extreme amount of pain. He begins coughing up blood. Sam rushes over to his brother's side. He stares at Zachariah with anger.
"Who's next?" Zachariah says mockingly.
A bright light flashes, "Enough!" As the light fades, everyone sees Cas standing there.
Zachariah's eyes get big, "How? This is not possible. You were killed."
"I think we both know the answer to that," Cas states.
Zachariah shakes his head, "No. He's gone."
"And so should you be," Cas comments and Zachariah disappears. Cas turns to face the boys. He can see relief in their eyes.
"Cas? But how?" Sam asks. Sam was truly happy to see that Cas wasn't dead. He felt bad enough about everything else adding that one of his closest friends was murder on top of it would have been too much.
"I'm not entirely sure myself but I do have a theory," Cas announces.
"And that is?" Dean asks.
Cas looks away from them, "God." "God? You think God has something to do with this?" Bobby questions.
"Didn't you hear what Zachariah said? God is gone. Out of the picture," Dean adds.
"If not him then who? No one else is strong enough," Cas says raising his voice.
Sam walks up next to Dean and says, "You know he has a point. Who else is stronger than God? I mean can you think of anyone else who would be strong enough or better yet…want to help us out?" There were a few minutes of silence. All of them wondering what the hell is going on and what the next step should be.
"So wait let me get this straight…your plan is to go out and find God?" Dean questions.
"Yes. There are ways of finding him. I need to find him before …" Cas begins but doesn't finish. Dean makes a jester for Cas to finish.
"Before one of the Seekers find you? Cause you know now that they know you're live they will go to them," Bobby comments to Cas. Cas glances up at him and nods yes.
"Seekers?" Sam asks.
"Yeah, they're like the angels' bounty hunters," Bobby informs. The others turn to him. "What? I've read about them," Bobby tells them.
"How does that work?" Dean asks.
"Once they're told the order they have the choice to take it or not. If one doesn't then the other gets the order," Cas says.
"What if they both don't take it?" Sam asks.
"That never happens," Cas says going a little pale.
"Meaning?" Dean questions.
"They each have different values. One is from angels and the other from demons. They're not judged by either side and receive orders from both. They'll kill almost anything …or anyone," Bobby informs.
"This is heavy," Dean comments.
"How come we've never ran into them before?" Sam asks.
"They are non traceable and only go after those who they are ordered to," Cas states.
"Then how do they get the orders?" Sam asks.
"Angels and demons can communicate with them through their minds," Cas answers.
"Why can't they be traced?" Dean asks.
Cas shows he is growing tiresome of the questions but answers, "Because they take orders from both sides. It would be too easy to eliminate them if they could be found. Plus it is the way God made it."
"God made them? Why would he make something like them?" Sam asks.
"God created them to keep order. Their purpose is to keep both sides in line. If one side grows too strong they eliminate someone in order to balance it back out. They have been around for centuries and never been replaced," Cas.
"Guess that means they're pretty good," Dean says.
"That's an understatement," Bobby adds.
"Alright so where do we go from here?" Sam asks.
"I know a hunter who might be able to shed some light about these Seekers. Her name is Ali. She'll be hard to track down but it's doable," Bobby informs.
"And I am searching for God," Cas adds.
"I'll go with Bobby and Dean goes with Cas," Sam advises.
Sam still feels bad about what happened. He knows it's in the past and he can't change it. He is concerned for Cas. Cas already died once to help them out. Sam hopes that Ali knows more about the Seekers in order to save Cas from them.
