Because this such a short story, I'll post the next one really soon!
1x08 Bugs (Sam and Dean head to Oklahoma to investigate a recent spate of insect-related deaths around a new housing development.)
Sam and Dean had just finished talking to who Dean called angsty-spider-boy. They were increasingly aware of the impending swarm. Castiel sure would be helpful right about now. Dean sighed inwardly. Still, he'd resolved to put distance between them and the angel after his talk with him. He operated in a way that was much different from what he and Sam did. It was best to avoid ever seeing the holy douche again.
"What's next?" Sam asked, anxiously bumping his fist against his thigh.
"We'll bring those bones to someone who can actually tell us something about 'em." Dean said, throwing his bag into the trunk.
After searching a directory for anything that could be helpful, they had their first chance, a nearby college's history professor.
"Let's—" Dean abruptly stopped talking and inwardly winced after the space in front of him had been filled with angel. "Hey, Cas."
Castiel stood in front of them, eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
"Tiel."
"What?" Dean frowned.
"I assume you forgot the rest of my name. I am Castiel." He explained earnestly.
Dean quirked his eyebrows. The guy actually thought they forgot his name?
"Dean, Sam. How is the hunt going?" Castiel asked after several silent moments.
"We're about to have a swarm of bugs hitting the town. I hate to say it, but good timing." Dean replied. Castiel's eyes narrowed in confusion this time—Dean had asked him to come, hadn't he?
"Of course," He nodded instead.
"So, can you smite the bugs or something?" Sam urged. "There's only an hour until sunset."
"I cannot. If I recall correctly, this land was inhabited by the Euchee Tribe. Their chief prayed to God to protect their home after their deaths. Their agreement is holy, and no one, demon or angel can touch it. Your only hope is to leave now or wait for the sun. This town should never have been built, Dean."
A few moments elapsed silently. "I shouldn't even be here, angels lose most of their power in these areas." Castiel disappeared.
When Dean didn't say anything, Sam spoke up. "We need to evacuate the Pikes."
Next chapter is coming out by Wednesday, today at the earliest. :)
