Just A Dream
Chapter 1: Goodbye
Dean couldn't believe it. He was in shock. Him and Sam. Even after Sam snapped out of it and tried to drag Dean away, Dean wouldn't move. He couldn't. Witnessing what he just did, there was no way.
Castiel, this brave heroic angel of the Lord, just sacrificed himself to save Dean and his brother once again. But this time was different. It even had a different atmosphere.
Dean remembered trying to get Sam and Castiel out of the tumbling down warehouse. Abaddon was there, the cause of all the trouble. It was supposed to be a trap for her, but things went wrong. Way wrong.
Abaddon started chanting some spell and before they knew it, the building was caving in. Things were flying everywhere, and the floor started forming huge cracks. Dean rushed to grab Sam and practically threw him out a window when they found all the doors locked shut. Next, he had to find Castiel.
It wasn't too hard to locate the angel; he was running straight towards Dean. Dean let him go through the window first, then he jumped through.
They landed on the grass, Sam helping them back up and running away from the building that now was engulfed by flames. They were half way there to the Impala when they heard Abaddon laughing.
"You can never stop me!" she said as she laughed one of those evil laughs. Demons had emerged from behind Abaddon, and stopped at her side. There were ten of them and Dean was pretty sure they wouldn't be able to get them all.
"Let's face it," Abaddon had said, "you don't stand a chance. Just give him to us. That's all I'm asking for."
Dean was about to retaliate when Castiel stopped him. The angel turned to address the two brothers. "She won't stop looking for me, no matter where we go." Sam knew where this was going. Dean looked like he understood, but Sam knew that he didn't want to believe it. "I don't want to be the cause of to why you two get hurt. I want the both of you to stay safe."
Dean started shaking his head. "Cas, no. We can fight this."
"No, Dean. We can't make it through this. It's too late. I want you two to get in the car and drive away as fast as you possibly can. I have to do this alone. It's the only way."
Both brothers were fighting to hold back tears. Slowly, Dean nodded his head. He stepped forward and grabbed Castiel into a tight hug. A tear slipped down his face.
Dean pulled back and turned away from Castiel, wiping the tear track away. Sam and Cas stared at each other for a moment and briefly hugged. When they pulled back, they gave each other one last head nod.
Abaddon stood there, in a careless position, rolling her eyes at the scene. She straightened herself up when she saw Castiel walking towards her.
"Finally," she muttered. Castiel stood in front of her with his head hanging down. Abaddon ordered the demon closest to her to tie Castiel's hands together as she saw the brothers getting into that black car of theirs.
"Hey, Dean!" Dean, who was already sitting in the Impala with his door opened, looked through Sam's passenger window to face Abaddon. "I can't guarantee that I'll take care of your boyfriend. You know what I really want from you."
Dean leaned over Sam to yell out his open window, "No I don't, bitch!"
"Ah," Abaddon said as she tilted her head, "that's no way to talk to a lady."
"Trust me, you ain't no lady."
Abaddon grew an evil smile on her face. "You're right." Looking at Castiel, Abaddon addressed her minions. "Kill the angel." Then she walked back into the burning building, laughing all the way.
Sam and Dean watched in horror as the demons attacked Cas. He was defenseless because he had his hands tied up moments before.
"NO!" Dean yelled as he jumped out of his seat and around the Impala. Sam had opened up his car door and ran after Dean. Sam knew it was too late to save Castiel, especially those demons that had started coming their way. They had nothing on them to protect themselves, so Sam knew he had to get the both of them out.
When Sam finally caught Dean, he body shoved him back into the Impala. Holding him tightly by the arms, Sam said to Dean, "We have to get out of here! Dean, come on! It's too late, we can't save him. I'm sorry, Dean, but we have to leave now!" Dean was shaking violently in Sam's arms. Sam was using all his will power to try not to cry. Which he did a banged up job. Tears were running down his face as he tried to reason with his brother.
Moments later, Sam ended up pushing Dean into the passenger seat. Locking and closing the door, Sam made his way into the drivers seat. He slammed the door and started the car. He drove like a mad man, racing down the streets. When they finally reached the back roads, Sam slowed the car down a bit. Taking the dare to see how his brother was doing, Sam stole a glance at Dean.
He had tears streaming down his face, his eyes were all puffy, his lips quivering, and he couldn't control his breathing. Sam looked back to the road. He never seen his brother like this. Ever.
Soon the road became a blur. Sam was brewing up tears as well. He pulled over so they wouldn't end up in a car crash. He rubbed at his eyes but no matter how many times he done it, the tears just kept on coming.
They made it back to the motel in one piece. Dean had immediately locked himself in the bathroom. Sam laid down on his bed. He didn't know what to do or what to think. Everything just seemed to happen so quick. It's like one moment they were all just sitting down and talking about bringing down Abaddon and the next they had witnessed their best friend die. Sam shook his head. If he's taking it this bad, he can hardly imagine the pain that Dean must be going through.
As soon as he stepped foot inside the motel, Dean rushed off to the bathroom and locked himself inside there. Dean sank to the bottom of the floor. He never wanted to get out. It was surprisingly cold in there and Dean wanted to freeze. He actually wanted to suffer. It was his fault for Castiel's death. He was the reason why Cas was dead.
Dean rested his forehead on his knees and covered up his face. Images of Castiel getting beat flooded his mind...
