I'M SO SORRY! I should have updated yesterday, but I got really in to my other story and I apologize. BUT I'M HERE NOW! And here's the next chapter!


Chapter 4

There was fire. Lots of fire. And pain. So much pain.

Sam could barely see anything, barely focus on anything. There was too much pain. Way too much pain. He didn't have a clue as to where he where he was. Or where he could be.

Then he heard something. It sounded like someone laughing. He recognized the voice, though he didn't believe it.

It sounded like Lucifer.


Sam awoke quickly and sat up.

"Whoa! Take it easy, Sammy!" Dean said, steadying his little brother.

"You ok?" Eli asked.

Sam just stared at where Gabriel had been standing before Sam got his vision. He shook his head, trying to make the memory less fresh in his mind. He started standing up and Dean helped him over to the couch.

"What did you see, Sam?" Castiel questioned.

"I have no idea." Sam responded.

"Sam, you have to tell us." Dean said.

"No, I mean it. That has never happened to me. Ever."

"What do you mean?" Eli asked, obviously confused.

"I mean, I never had that memory. That has never happened to me. I don't know where it came from. It wasn't mine, that's for sure." Sam answered, trying to comprehend it himself.

"Gabriel said this was a game. What's that supposed to mean?"

"I guess we are supposed to go along with it and wait it out."

"Isn't there any way we can take him out?"

"No." Cas answered, "He won't let us. If we tried, we would fail."

"What do we do then?" Dean asked with a sigh.

"Wait it out." Sam suggested.

"I hate waiting." Dean said, walking over to his bed and dropping onto it.

"I'm going to sleep. If we are going to be playing some stupid game, the least I can do is control my sleep schedule." Eli said, laying down on her bed too.

"Good night." Sam told them, putting his head down on the couch.

"Night." Dean and Eli answered at the same time.

There was a flutter of wings, signaling Castiel's departure. All three Winchester siblings put their heads down and fell asleep almost instantly.


Cas was sitting on a park bench in the middle of the empty park. He didn't know what else to do. Being an angel, he didn't require sleep, and he had time to kill before the Winchesters woke up. So he sat there, lost in his thoughts.

Until a fluttering noise knocked him out of them and he saw a figure sitting next to him.

"Hello Castiel." Gabriel said conversationally.

"What are you doing here?" Cas asked.

"I wanted to talk. We don't get to talk enough."

"What is it that you want to talk about?" Cas said, staring towards the playground equipment, refusing to look at Gabriel.
"Well, you've had an interesting turn of events, haven't you?" Gabe said, looking directly at Castiel.

"Yes, usually the apocalypse changes things."

"Well, yes. But that's not what I mean."

"What do you mean then?" Cas asked, finally looking at him.

"That Elizabeth girl." Gabriel replied, a smile on his face.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"You like her. You like-like her."

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Yes, you do. You are falling for Elizabeth Winchester."

"And if I am?"

Gabriel smiled, getting the answer he wanted out of Cas, "Then you tell her! You let her know!"

"Why?"

"Because that's how you start a relationship. Someone's gotta make the first move. Why shouldn't it be you?"

"What is she doesn't feel the same?"

"It's a chance you've gotta take."

"Why are you telling me all of this?"

"Because I'm rooting for you."

And with that final comment, Gabriel was gone, leaving Cas alone with his thoughts once again.


Did I make up for my not updating yesterday thing?
