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.
"I've got nothin but looks like houses over there. Let's get going," Dean says wondering if Cas has anything to do with this.
The house is about quarter mile away from where they appeared. They begin to make their way to it. There is an uneasiness between the two brothers. 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. 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). Dean wanted to just not talk about it right at that moment and all Sam wanted to do was talk about it. Mixed feelings grew between the two. Both wishing there was a third party person there to cut some tension.
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 then head downtown. They stop at a small restaurant. Before going in, Dean calls Bobby from a payphone out front. 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…
Both boys inspect each other at separate times. They both wish someone were there to break the silence so one of them wouldn't have to. Then Sam's phone goes off.
"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 them.
Dean and Sam were a little ashamed to tell the story. Dean was worried about the fact Chuck was afraid. He thought Cas was there to protect him. Where is Cas?
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.
"Cas what?" Bobby asks.
"He couldn't handle them. They were just too strong," Chuck informs. Dean punches the wall.
"He's dead?" Sam asks 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 to go out like 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.
Bobby begins to moan in pain and grabs his stomach. He starts coughing up blood. Sam rushes over to Bobby's side not sure of what he could do to help. Dean doesn't know what to do either but he knew that Cas would not want him to Give into Zachariah.
"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 turns to face the boys. He can see relief in their eyes.
"It's good to see you Cas," Dean says.
"Yeah but how are you alive?" Sam adds.
"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.
"I believe it just as much as you kid but he has a point," Bobby says to Dean in Cas' defense.
"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 asks.
Cas knows he's in big trouble. The Seekers are more powerful than most angels…and demons. He needs his Father before its too late for him, the boys and all humans.
"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." Cas can see the guys are confused by the looks on their faces. "God created them to keep order. Their purpose is to keep both sides in line. 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.
"Dean you come with me and Sam you go with Bobby," Cas suggests.
Cas feels alone and lost. He has lost all communication with Heaven. He died by the hands his brothers. He hopes to find God before one of the Seekers find him. He is glad that Dean is willing to go along. He doesn't really want to die again.
