"Cas!" Dean shouted, looking around desperately at all the monster's red eyes staring at him.
They moved out from the bushes and surrounded Dean. They snarled at him, and Dean wasn't even sure what they were.
Dean's eyes searched for a way to escape, but the beasts had every possible escape route blocked off.
"Dammit Cas. Now is a bad time to disappear on me." Dean mumbled. He searched himself, to see if he had any weapons on him, but could he even kill them? They were already dead, even if he did manage to gank one, wouldn't it just poof right back?
That raised another question. Was Dean dead himself? Because for all he knew, when Dick exploded, it could have killed him and Cas, plus Sam and Kevin were standing right there when it happened.
Sam!
Dean's mind surged in panic. Was Sam here with them, too? Maybe that's why Cas left him, to go pick up Sam and Kevin.
Dean's stomach twisted with a sick feeling, if Cas didn't show back up he was going to die a horrible painful death, or not die and be tortured for the rest of…forever.
As if one of the beasts had read his mind, it jumped forward to attack Dean. The hunter fell back on his ass and waited for the pain to come.
His mind briefly registered the contact on his shoulder before he was sitting on top of a rock, looking down at a forest. He scrambled up and turned around.
"Cas." He breathed a sigh of relief. "Where the hell did you go?"
"I scouted to find a relatively safe place for us to regroup." Cas said, eyes dancing all around looking for danger.
"What exactly happened?" Dean asked.
Cas sighed and said, "When Dick Roman exploded, the effects were so powerful that it acted like a vacuum which pulled us into Purgatory."
"So are we dead?" Dean asked.
"Not technically. We came here with our bodies intact, but that had created a bigger problem." Cas told him.
"Which is-"
"Dean every monster you have ever slayed is located here. If they were to find out about your presence here then, there wouldn't be any hope for us." Cas stated, face going serious.
"Yeah I get it, if they find out I'm here then I'm done for, but what about Sam, Cas? Did he and Kevin get sucked in here too?"
Cas shook his head. "Fortunately as we were standing closest to Dick only we were pulled in."
Dean shook his head and took a shaky breath, "Thank God."
Suddenly, Cas' legs began to wobble and he dropped down onto one knee. Dean shot out beside him, and held him up.
"Whoa, what's wrong?" Dean asked, concerned for his friend's safety.
"It's this place." Cas pushed himself up, with Dean's support.
"What about it?" Dean asked, wishing Cas would hurry up and get to the point.
"Angels are pure, well most angels anyway, but I still have my grace." Cas told him.
"Yeah and what about it?"
"I'm completely cut off from heaven here, Dean. In another dimension filled with the most vile and dark creatures ever in existence." Cas choked on a breath and began coughing.
Dean held onto his shoulder alarmed. "Cas what's happening? What's this place doing to you?"
"I would believe that it's killing me." Cas stated, not realizing how his words punched Dean in the gut, till his lungs collapsed and his insides twisted in despair.
