Trapped
E/O Drabble challenge, word: fort.
Summary: It's always easier to recognize all the signs of the upcoming disaster in hindsight. Spoiler Alert: Tag to 9.9, "Holy Terror".
He sat in his small fort – safe for the moment, but imprisoned all the same.
It had been touch and go, he nearly didn't make it in his makeshift shelter build only on suspicion and the experience of half a lifetime under constant attack.
He should've seen the signs, though. Thinking about how he'd been betrayed made him want to howl like an animal trapped in iron fangs.
But he didn't.
He'd be calm and quiet and invisible like a shadow in the night.
He'd fought demons and destiny and death himself.
He wouldn't surrender to a fallen angel now.
