"God?" Dean asked, as he closed the door, not wanting anyone to hear their conversation.

"Yes" Castiel nodded.

"God" Dean repeated.

"Yes! He isn't in heaven. He has to be somewhere" Castiel exclaimed, getting irritated by Dean's behaviour.

"Try New Mexico. I hear he's on a tortilla" Dean joked.

"I don't get it" Katie stated, not understanding the joke.

"Buzzkill" Dean mumbled.

"No, he's not on any flatbread" Castiel frowned, thinking Dean was serious.

Katie had to hold down a laugh. The angel's nativity was kind of adorable, she thought to herself.

"Listen, Chuckles, even if there is a God, he is either dead…and that's the generous theory-" Dean began but was cut off.

"He is out there, Dean" Castiel told him.

"-or he's up and kicking and doesn't give a rat's ass about any of us" Dean went on, finishing his sentence.

Castiel glared at this, as it was clear to everyone, apart from Dean he was beginning to get angry.

"I mean, look around you, man. The world is in the toilet. We are literally at the end of days here, and he's off somewhere drinking booze out of a coconut. All right?" Dean suggested.

"Enough. This is not a theological issue. It's strategic. With God's help, we can win" Castiel informed him.

"It's a pipe dream, Cas" Dean replied.

"I killed two angels this week. My brothers. I'm hunted. I rebelled. And I did it, all of it, for you, and you failed. You and your brother destroyed the world…and I lost everything, for nothing. So keep your opinions to yourself" Castiel said angrily, as he advanced on Dean.

"Well, the world's not over yet. So maybe instead of fighting, we should help each other?" Katie suggested.

"Your opinion is not necessary" Castiel stated.

"Oh, you did not just-" Katie was cut off as Sam cut her off.

"Angel, remember? Let it go" Sam told her, as Katie nodded, backing off.

"You didn't drop in just to tear us a new hole. What is it you want?" Bobby asked.

"I did come for something. An amulet" Castiel confessed, his anger dissipating.

"An amulet? What kind?" Bobby queried.

"Very rare. Very powerful. It burns hot in God's presence. It'll help me find him" Castiel explained.

"A God EMF?" Sam exclaimed as Cas nodded.

"Well, I don't know what you're talking about. I got nothing like that" Bobby informed him.

"I know. You don't" Castiel said, as he looked and Dean, his gaze dropping onto his amulet.

"What, this?" Dean realised, gesturing to his amulet.

"May I borrow it?" Castiel asked.

"No" Dean replied, gruffly.

"Dean. Give it to me" Castiel insisted.

Dean mulled this over for a few seconds, as Katie knew it must be hard for him, remembering how Sam had kept the amulet after Dean had died. It meant a lot to both of them.

"All right, I guess" Dean sighed, as he held it out, but pulled it back at the last second.

"Don't lose it" Dean warned him, as Castiel took it from his hand.

"Great. Now I feel naked" Dean grimaced.

"I'll be in touch" Castiel informed them, as Dean nodded.

A moment later he was gone in a flap of wings, surprising them all a little. Katie rolled her eyes at the angel's vanishing act as she realised it was a common thing.

"When you find God, tell him to send legs!" Bobby shouted out.

"What an asshole. He could have at least explained a bit more" Katie grumbled.

"Well, like you said. He's not one to talk" Sam shrugged.

"He still shouldn't have just flapped off like that" Katie insisted, thinking it was rude.

She suddenly noticed how everyone's eyes widened, looking at something behind her. She frowned when she turned around to find the angel she was just talking about.

"Uh…didn't you just leave?" Katie queried, wondering how much he had heard.

"I…what did you do?" Castiel accused, walking up to her.

"What?! I didn't do anything!" Katie exclaimed.

"I was brought back here by something. And you're the only thing here" Castiel went on.

"First of all, I'm not a thing. Second of all, you better watch your tone. And lastly, I don't know what the hell you're talking about" Katie spat out, taking a step forward so the pair were toe to toe.

She knew she should have been intimidated by the angel, but she doubted he would hurt her, and besides...it was pretty fun to rile the guy up.

"Um, Katie. He's an angel, remember?" Sam mumbled in the background.

"Oh, so it's all right for him to be an ass?" Katie retorted, turning to glare at Sam.

"Wow Sam, you sure know how to pick your friends" Dean stated, trying to hold down a laugh.

"Would y'all stop bickering? Look, Katie, maybe it was you. I mean, demons can teleport right?" Bobby suggested.

"They can't teleport angels around" Castiel glared at her.

"Maybe you're just not as powerful as you think you are" Katie smirked at him.

He went to approach her, but before he got far he suddenly disappeared, as Dean and Sam frowned.

"Okay…that time definitely was me" Katie confessed.

"Great, now he's going to be pissed next time he turns up" Dean rolled his eyes, and he stomped out of the room.

"…Oops" Katie mumbled, feeling a little bad.

Castiel was rightfully angry that the team he had betted on had let him down, and now all the group seemed to do was give him a hard time. Her more than any of them. She decided the next time she saw him, if he didn't smite her first, she would hand him an olive branch.


Not long after the confrontation with Castiel, Bobby had received a distressed call from his friend, Rufus. He explained that the town he was in Colorado, had been infested with demons, and he was cut off by gunfire soon after that.

"Are we really sure it's a great idea to bring a demon along to demon Disneyland?" Dean insisted.

"I have a name…human. Ew, no that just sounds weird" Katie grimaced, from where she was sitting in the back of the Impala.

"Fighting fire with fire" Sam shrugged.

"I'd be a lot more helpful if I was given a gun" Katie suggested.

"Never going to happen," Sam said, turning her around and giving her a fake smile, which she returned with a mocking expression.

A few minutes later, they found the road they were driving on had been destroyed, as they all exited the car.

"This is the only road in or out," Dean said, pushing a stone off the edge.

"No signal" Sam exclaimed, holding up his phone.

"Rufus was right. Looks like demons got this place locked down" Dean told them.

"Looks like we're hiking in" Sam sighed.

"The hits just keep on coming" Dean added.

"I second that" Katie mumbled.


None of them had been prepared for what they were walking into when they arrived in the town. Cars were left abandoned, glass was spew all over the streets, and there were blood patches everywhere.

"Jesus" Katie grimaced as they came across a blood trial from where someone had been dragged out of their car.

Katie was the first one to hear someone approaching them from behind and pulled out the dagger from the waistband of her jeans. The brothers whipped around quickly, holding their shotguns up as they recognised the newcomer.

"Ellen?" Sam questioned, in disbelief.

"Hello boys" The woman announced, as she lowered her gun.

"Ellen, what the hell is going on here?" Dean asked, as the woman threw what appeared to be holy water in his face.

"We're us" Dean exclaimed, trying not to roll his eyes.

Ellen's eyes locked on with Katie's as she studied her, trying to work out who she was.

"She's a friend" Sam insisted, stepping forward.

He knew things would end badly if Ellen knew they had been joined by a demon, and they didn't have time to deal with it. Without another word, Ellen walked past the three, as Katie let out a sigh of relief. It was short lived when they entered a nearby church and saw a devil's trap on the floor, along with a line of salt.

"Uh, you know what, I'm just going to hang back out here" Katie shrugged.

"Does this kid not realise that it's not safe out there?" Ellen queried.

"Oh, I'd be more worried about it being safe if she comes in" Dean mumbled, as Sam glared at his brother.

"What does that mean?" Ellen frowned.

"She's Sam's new demon" Dean informed her.

Instantly, Ellen pulled her gun out and raised it towards Katie's temple, who backed up at the gesture.

"You brought a demon here?!" Ellen shouted, angrily.

"She's here to help. She's not like-" Sam started, but Ellen cut him off.

"Don't! Just don't, Sam. You want to bring your little demon along on your road trips, fine. But she stays out of my sight" Ellen insisted.

"But it's not safe out here. You said so yourself" Sam argued.

"I'm sure she can handle herself" Ellen mocked, as she walked away.

"It's fine, Sam" Katie stated, as she grabbed Sam's arm to stop him from calling back to her.

"No, it's not. You don't deserve to be treated like that" Sam told her.

"Maybe I do…I'm not…I'm not the same girl I was when we first met. How could I be? Look…just go after her, find out what's going on" Katie explained.

"I'll be back in ten minutes, tops," He said, as he began to chase after her.

Dean had listened to the interaction from the bottom of the stairs and was confused, to say the least. Either she was a master manipulator or…no, she was a demon, a liar, he thought to himself.


Author's Notes: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Things between Katie and Castiel are...icy at the moment to say the least, haha. They will have a very developed relationship though as time goes on. I feel like Katie came off a little bitchy in this chapter but she's basically been thrown into the apocalypse so I think that's understandable. Please leave a review:)

YaoiLovinKitsune: Thank you! I'm really glad you're liking this story and hope you continue to read it:)
