Castiel opened his golden eyes to the seemingly endless darkness. There were never stars here, it is proof of the abandonment of this land. God's light did not nor ever graced Lilith's land. Castiel raised his head, to get a better look around.
The trees here all looked alike, tall and black with grey leaves. But Castiel had lived in this world long enough to know that something was amiss. The leaves that had fallen onto the ground were green. It was a light soft green but it was green. Castiel jumped up from the ground and ran, leaving behind his books and blankets accumulated after years. He left the one spot he could call his own.
Following the path of somewhat green leaves, Castiel's heart pounded in his chest.
'The Pure ones never came to Lilith's land,' Castiel thought to himself, 'at least those that chose not to hide.'
A shriek could be heard in the distance and fear shook through Castiel.
'MOTHER!' Castiel screamed as loud as he could, losing complete control over his masked grace.
His wings shot out of his back and Castiel flew through the sky just to see a Pure blood stab his mother in the heart.
Castiel flew down and grabbed the Pure blood.
'Why?!' Castiel spit out.
'To free you brother,' the Pure one whispered with hope in his eyes.
Castiel's eyes grew black as night as his lip curled back in a cruel sneer. The Pure blood started to screech for help but Castiel had already ripped out its throat.
'Castiel,' Evangelene coughed out, 'you mustn't do that.'
Castiel kneeled next to his mother, his eyes slowly returning to their gold colour.
'But mother-'
'I have fought hard to keep you out of this war Castiel. I don't want to fail... Not now.'
Castiel shook his head vigorously.
'Never mother, you could never have failed.'
Evangelene coughs up blood and spits it on the floor, then collapses.
'I know you are there... Watch over my son... I beg of you.' Evangelene whispers to the sky.

Dean Winchester watches as Evangelene fades into the Earth. He watches Castiel cry over her for hours, however he isn't really focusing on Castiel. Evangelene's last words ring in his head, like a broken record.
Dean watches as Castiel reaches down into the Earth and creates a formation of rock and branches over his mother.
'Such a shame with that one,' Isophiel whispers as she walks up behind Dean.
Dean sighs softly.
'You can't change his destiny Dean. No matter how bad you want to.'
'I know Izzy, I know.'
'Do you?' Isophiel turns Dean's face towards hers. 'He broke Dean. That isn't the Castiel you know.'
Dean turns back to Castiel who is now running through the forest, running for no reason but to try and escape his pain. Dean wants to reach down and hug Cas close but he knows he can't.
'How do you know that Izzy? How?!'
'Naomi broke him Dean. She broke him, and now God gave him another chance. A chance to choose his fate.'
'But how can he change what is fact? What has been written in stone?'
'Because he doesn't know it... but right now I know the pure ones are going to be searching for him.'
Dean looks back down at Earth just to see the Pure ones touch down on Lilith's land letting their power radiate through.
'They are fools. Do they not know who resides in this ground.'
Isophiel shakes her head as she watches the darkness follow the Pure ones.
'What of Castiel's prophecy do you know Isophiel?'
Slowly the darkness claims the pure ones.
'I know only what I need to know Dean. I'm sorry.'
'He's just a kid Izzy...'
'In this day and age 16 is no longer a kid Dean. You look exhausted Dean, you should take some rest.'
Dean nods slowly.
'I haven't rested in a long time.'
~...~
Castiel keeps running, his lungs burn with an unyielding fire yet his legs won't stop moving. He has to run from everything. He needs something new.
'I can't hide anymore. They killed my mother... They shall pay.'
Castiel digs his hands into the Earth once more. He follows his insticts and sees the Pure ones. He raises the darkness from the land and slowly he uses it to consume all of them.
Castiel collapses on the soft barren ground at the edge of Lilith's world. His eyes fading from black back to gold. But a beautiful woman walks up to him and smiles.
'Castiel, son of Evangelene,' the woman whispers, 'I am Lilith.'

'Who... What are you,' Castiel whispers.
Dean ignores Castiel's questions as he heals the cuts and wounds. Castiel sighs and stares off into the distance.
'My mother always told me I'd be destined for greatness and that angels were protecting me... Guess they didn't get the memo,' Castiel says bitterly.
Dean looks at Castiel's bruised and battered face.
'You are destined for greatness, please don't give up.'
Castiel huffs out a small laugh.
'The only thing I'm great at is fucking.'
Castiel gets up off the bed and walks over to the bathroom.
'That can't be the only thing.'
'It's the only thing I give a shit about.'
'What about the war?' Dean asks quietly.
Castiel picks a few different prescription bottles and takes a pill from each.
'Fuck the War, I believe in equal opportunity. I'm open 24/7 for everyone's enjoyment.'
Dean appears behind Castiel and hugs him close.
'What happened to you Cas?'
Cas cries into Dean, his breathing shallow.
'You fell asleep Dean.'
