Castiel could feel the cold water running up his thigh. Uncontrollably wading out into the lake, his legs moving against the current. Castiel was screaming, trapped inside the mind of his vessel. He could sense Sam, Dean and Bobby standing behind him, he couldn't turn his head. He wanted to see them, once more. He knew he was about to die and everything was his fault.

He could imagine Dean's disappointed face, his willingness to believe that he was trustworthy even though everything was telling him otherwise. He began to feel sick, those things writhing around inside of him. Laughing at him for being so weak and helpless.

His head dropped below the surface of the water. The water began to swirl, sending him deeper and deeper. He felt his body rip apart as the Leviathans left his body. Pain beyond anything he has ever felt before, in every fibre of his being.

Then everything was silent.

There was a warm light. Soothing his wounds.

'Father' Castiel whispered.

'Not quite, although I could give you a light spanking if you want?'

Castiel's eyes shot open to find Crowley standing over him.

'Hello darling', drooled Crowley, his mouth twitching into a wide smile.

'You! No!' Castiel tried to rise from the bed he was in, he flinched in pain and slumped his head back down onto the pillow.

'Yes Cas, my fine feathered friend. It seems I found you in a bit of a predicament. Naked, covered head to toe in dirt, broken bones sticking out in the weirdest of place; trust me….oh and did I mention you were naked? Quite an ass on you Cas. I couldn't just leave you there now could I?'

Castiel lay there, not looking at Crowley. Shame raising around him, draining the colour in his face.

'Why am I still alive? I felt my body being ripped apart.' Cas said, more to himself that to Crowley. 'All the things I did, I more that anyone deserved to die.'

'Ahh, well Cas, that's the thing. When I found you, you were dead. My little Cupcake had snuffed it, and I could have that!'

'What do you mean I was dead!?'

'Ummm, you know, kicked the bucket? You get my drift?'

'Crowley! This is no time for games.'

'Oh, but I'd so like to play a few games with you…But very well.' Crowley went over to the counter. Only then did Castiel realise where he was, lying in Crowley's moulding old caravan. Dank curtains hanging around windows covering in Sigil's…Angel Sigil's.

'Crowley! How am I in here? Your windows are covering in Angel warding symbols! What have you done to me?'

Crowley picked up a mirror from the side and handed it to Castiel.

'Now Darling, don't go freaking out on me or anything. I did what I had to.'

Castiel looked into the mirror and let out a yell or fear. He through the mirror towards Crowley. It hit him hard in the stomach before smashing onto the floor.

'Tut tut, that's seven years bad luck didn't you know.'

'My eyes!' breathed Castiel. 'My eyes are black!'

'Yes. As beautiful and black as a pit of despair. But then, I find despair rather beautiful.'

When Castiel didn't say anything, Crowley continued. 'Yes Cas, before you start shooting death rays at me with your mind' Crowley chuckled to himself, 'yes you are now a demon. The only way I could raise you I'm afraid, and I couldn't let that body go to waste. One of God's finest creations if I do say so myself.' Crowley Winked. 'All made possible by a rather ingenious spell I made up…Being King of Hell has its perks you know. And not to mention all that magnificent slaughtering you did yesterday. Quite beautiful, I must admit I was rather impressed. Picked up a few tips, the way you sliced that women's….'

'STOP!' Castiel shouted 'Just stop!'

Crowley drew his fingers across his lips as though zipping them up.

'I…Am a demon. If I was dead. Then my vessel is dead.'

'Collateral damage I'm…'

Castiel shot him a warning look. Crowley pretended to zip his lips together again.

'Get out.' Castiel whispered.

Crowley gave a little wave and blew Castiel a kiss before vanishing. Castiel lay there, helpless. And for the first time in his life, felt a tear leave the corner of his eyes. His black eyes.
