1. Chapter 1

In this fanfic, Sam was never possesed by an angel. Frankly, because I'm pretty upset that Zeke isn't Zeke and this d-bag killed my baby Kev, so he has ceased to exist from this universe so that Kevin Freakin Solo can still be alive. Sam is very weak and sick, however, but otherwise the story line remains about the same. Oh, and Kevin isn't warded against the angels.

Evael is pronounced Eh-veil.

*this chapter is written from Evael's point of view, but most of the others will be written in third person*

I wait patiently for Inia. She'd gotten word to me that she knew something about the whereabouts of Castiel, but that we would have to meet in person. I understood all too well. I knew that some of our brothers and sisters would kill, quite literally, for any information involving my fallen brother. But of course I suppose we have all fallen now.

I see Inia. Her vessel is a young woman, maybe a few years older than mine, but still very young. All these humans seem so young. She sees me, too. I nod to her and approach her, stepping out into the rain to the alley we had decided to meet at. The rain is warm.

"Inia, I'm glad to see you safe," I say.

"And I, you, Evael."

"You said you had knowledge about Castiel," I say, and she nods solemnly. "Inia, what is it? Something's wrong."

"Everything is wrong, Evael. Everyone has shifted their feelings from confusion to anger and they all blame him."

"I know, Inia. This is why I must find him! He's human, now. I have to protect like he's protected us all these years."

Inia looks at me and sighs. "Castiel has been taken, kidnapped, as they say."

I feel my fists clench. "When? By whom?"

"Just a few hours ago. That is why I needed to speak to you so quickly. It's just—It is Carigen that has taken him."

My fists go slack, as does my jaw as I take in the news. It can't be. "Are you sure, Inia?"

"I have never lied to you and would never lie about something like this. I'm sorry, sister, but I must leave. I hope you save him, Evael, I truly do," Inia says, touching my shoulder before leaving with a flap of her wings.

I hope I do too.
