Gabriel faces off against Sam as Cas makes a discovery…

"Bring it on Gabe," Sam growled as challenged the Archangel. Gabriel rushed the hunter as their swords met in a clash of metal and sparks. Gabriel saw an opportunity as Sam lifted up his blade. The Archangel dropped to his feet sweeping Sam's from beneath him. As he hit the solid ground, the hunter saw his blade falling directly towards him. Without thinking, Sam rolled to the right as the blade clattered beside him. Hateful midnight orbs flashed at the Archangel as Gabriel stood rigid like a statue. Sam took his time getting up as the hunter felt the Archangel's sharp emerald orbs burning into his own.

"Didn't you mother teach you it wasn't polite to stare?" Sam tilted his head with eyes narrowed and lips pressed tight. The Messenger could sense the possessed hunter was preparing to attack but he remained still nonetheless.

"Didn't your mother teach you thou shall not kill?" Gabriel fired back as he lifted his hand and turned his wrist. Blue green depths were in control as Sam dropped to his knees grasping at his throat as the choking sound escaped this throat. The black mass rolled out of his mouth and nose as the empty hollow orbs returned to a rich chocolate brown. The hunter released his grip on his own throat now on all fours as the black mass fought to return to its host. The Archangel felt the conflict as Sam struggled to expel the vile black mist sensing it mass was slowly winning the battle of the wills.

Knowing this was his one chance, Gabriel rushed the hunter reaching for the tiny vial inside his jacket twisting the cap open. Before Sam could react, Gabriel was on him. Holding Sam's head and neck still, Gabriel poured a small amount of the red viscous liquid down his throat. The Archangel kept him in a gentle embrace as the hunter jerked and convulsed. The Archangel watched with intent blue green eyes as the vial's contents went to work destroying the darkness that had invaded the man's mind body and soul. Gabriel kept his firm yet gentle hold on Sam until he felt the hunter jerk violently one last time before going limp in the Archangels strong arms. Gabriel gently laid Sam down on the ground as he turned to Ahadiel who was still tied up. His injuries gone revealing perfectly smooth olive skin.

"Hello, Gabriel, it's good to see you again," he said with a slight Italian accent. The Messenger smiled as he freed his brother taking him in a brotherly embrace. Ahadiel looked over at the still form on the ground frowning at the sight.

"What about him?" Gabriel turned seeing Sam still out cold. His breathing deep and strong as the Messenger kneeled down searching Sam's pockets.

"They're not here, Ahadiel," the Archangel ran his hand down his face in human fashion before rising to face his brother. He did nothing to hide the frustration outlined on his strong face. Ahadiel gripped the pendant tightly in his hand knowing why he was a target. It was what he wore around his neck that Sam was after and why his brother and sister died.

"We need to move, Gabriel," Ahadiel said with a rapidly growing sense of urgency. The Archangel nodded curtly as he gathered Sam in his arms as they vanished into the Idaho night.

Castiel looked at the photos on Brooklyn's dresser seeing ones of Brady and Markus and then one of them at what appeared to be the Grand Canyon. As he scanned the framed photos, he paused as one picking it up to get a closer look at it. A smile crept up on his handsome face as he gently ran his fingers around the frame remembering when the photo was taken. Brooklyn's voice called out to him as he remembered…

"Come on, Cas!" Brooklyn hollered waving at him on the water's edge. She was grinning wildly as she stripped off the shorts and shirt revealing the two piece beneath. The angel took in the sight before him before finally peeling off his own clothes.

Brooklyn had surprised him with a quiet little getaway somewhere in the tropics. The sun was warm and bright as the gentle breeze danced around him. He truly was awestruck by his Father's creation, this island. But that wasn't the only thing that was beautiful.

"Cas, are you coming?" Her gentle voice called out once again bringing the angel back to reality. He smiled at the copper haired angel running through the sand to meet her where the ocean met the sand. Brooklyn giggled as he swept her off her feet swinging her around as he looked straight into those beautiful grey depths.

Castiel put his angel down taking a moment to look deep within her soul catching a glimpse of the pure undying love she held deep within that fiery core of hers. He leaned in taking her in a passionate and intense kiss. The water ebbed and receded around them as the lovers paid little heed. Castiel pulled back holding her face within his hands as he pressed his forehead to hers. Brooklyn covered his hands within her own.

"Thank you for everything," he whispered taking her hand as together holding it tight as they ran into the ocean.

The water was warm and gentle as they held on to one another melding into one. Their mouths crashed in a rush of passion and love as Brooklyn held her angel tight wrapping her arms around his waist. The angels stayed a while drifting closer to shore until they found their bodies lying on the sand with the waves crashing around them. Brooklyn flipped her angel on his back grinning mischievously down at her blue eyed angel.

"What?" he grinned as Brooklyn shook his head leaning in silencing him with a sweet lingering kiss.

Later that night they lay flush with one another's body as the angels watched the orange yellow flames dancing and reaching for the night sky. Brooklyn sighed contently feeling Castiel's hot naked body pressed tight against hers. She moved her hand towards the twisting flames looking at the rings on her left finger.

"Gabriel said he would do the ceremony," Castiel whispered. Brooklyn looked up at him resting her chin on his chest and just smiled at him. The thought of them being together, truly together, made the angel's heart flutter within her. She closed her eyes and pictured the day he would be watching as she strolled towards him with their family and friends watching. Her father beside her angel watching his daughter finally experience true love.

As Castiel placed the photo back, something slipped out from behind the frame. He picked up the folded sheet of paper and opened it up. As he started to read it he felt the touching words of his angel reach his heart.

My angel,

If someone were to tell me over two years ago I was going to find my soulmate I would've laughed at them. But now as I write this I realized they would've been right as I did with you. You are my morning sun and evening star and the warmth that surrounds me on a cold winter's night. You are the reason I live and breathe.

I was lost but now I have been found and for that I thank you with every ounce of my being. You raised me up and healed my broken heart and soul. I love waking up every morning and seeing those bright blue eyes looking right at me. I can feel you reaching in to the deepest regions of my soul filling them with the brightness and warmth of your love. Your love is pure and true.

I can feel you all around me when you're gone for your ever loving and bright soul keeps me safe in the darkness. I would be lost without you, Castiel, my life and soulmate. I would lay my life on the line for you time and time again and never regret it. I cannot wait until the day I can finally be one with you with our friends and family present to bear witness to our special day.

I will remain by your side through good and bad times. I know our love isn't the perfect Hollywood romance but our fierce devotion to one another is what brings us back through the dark and disheartening times. It is your love that I seek out when I feel as if I am drowning, it is my lifeline.

Just know that if anything were to try and tear us apart, I will always find a way back to you. Remember we are soulmates and the tight bond we share will bring us back from the brink every time.

I love you more than my own life,

Brook

He lay back on their bed clutching the letter tight to his chest feeling as if she was right there beside him reading those gentle words to him. He knew that despite Lucifer's manipulations he would be reunited with her. She truly loved him as he had her heart and always would.

"We will be reunited, Brook," Castiel whispered as a warm feeling came over him. He could feel her presence all around him. It was if she was reaching out letting him know she wasn't giving up on him finding her and breaking Lucifer's hold over her. This only made the seraph more determined to track her down and free her soul.

Deep within the darkness, Brooklyn hid from the thing that hunted her down, the Beast. It was what possessed her body entrapping her within this hellish prison. She had cried and sobbed when she felt Tariel's hurt and betrayal over what she found.

"Tariel, I'm so sorry," she had cried out hoping her sister would hear her. But her cries fell on deaf ears as only the Beast had heard her. It tracked her down relentlessly keeping her trapped like a rat. She missed her family and friends but above all she missed her Castiel. She had spent countless hours crying over the pain that Lucifer had caused her beloved seraph.

"When I break free, Lucifer is so getting his ass handed to him," she had vowed with steel determination. She had been able to reach her beloved Castiel feeling his love as he had found her letter to him. Brooklyn had written it only two days before she had been tainted knowing her honest words of passion devotion and her undying love would help him see she truly did love him.

"Cas, I will make this up to you somehow, I swear it my angel. Just please don't give up on me," she looked up whispering into the abyss. A low menacing rumble in the distance caught her attention as the Beast had found her trail yet again.

"Damn, I thought I had Sparky fooled," she uttered taking off as the large vicious creature barreled behind her. Brooklyn's heart pounded hard against her chest as she sprinted blindly ahead seeing the door before her. The hot breath of the Beast breathing down her neck as its vile breath reached her nostrils.

Her second wind kicked in as she found the strength to swing the door open and slam it shut. She locked the door then pulled the stand in front of it as the creature growled and snarled on the other side clawing at the door fighting to get to her.

Brooklyn frantically scanned the room finding a fireplace poker as she waited for it to break through.

"Bring it on Sparky," the hunter growled as she took her stance ready to fight.

The Impala roared as Dean and Brooklyn pulled up to the site. The demonic entity wrinkled her nose in the utmost disgust and narrowed her eyes.

"I can smell them, fucking angels," she growled getting out of the car. Ahadiel was still alive and they were missing the last piece of the medallion. They couldn't carry out the next part of Lucifer's plan without it! She kneeled down tracing her fingers along a set of footprints then held her hand to her face. Dean watched as she appeared nauseous and jerked the dirt covered digits back like they were on fire.

"Gabriel! The Archangel was here!" Her hands balled into tight fists as she stormed back to the car and hopped back in.

"Now what?" Dean asked as she stared back with empty black pools.

"We pay a little visit to Phoenix," Dean merely nodded as he started the engine.

Samael watched the pair leave grinning as they were headed to pay a little visit to the family. He decided this would be one show he couldn't miss.

"Raphael, if you can hear us we need you," Gabriel softly beckoned his brother.

"So you found one of them," the Healer observed as he sat down beside the unconscious hunter. His eyes intense as he sensed the remnants of the Fallen One's taint being erased from his soul. He turned to Gabriel.

"We will need it," the Archangel nodded as he headed down the hall towards Brooklyn and Castiel's bedroom.

The Archangel saw Castiel on the bed holding the letter he found. His eyes were closed and it seemed as if he was experiencing a sense of peace. Gabriel quietly crossed the room to the hidden safe in the wall where she stored her most important items. Pulling back the photo of her family, the Archangel placed his hand over the opening watching as it unlocked and became ajar. Gabriel reached inside and retrieved the holy blood. This would purify Sam Winchester of all evil in his mind body and soul.

Gabriel left Castiel be as he returned to Raphael. Handing the small urn to the Healer, he watched as his brother opened the ancient box pulling its blessed contents out. Reciting the ancient healing spell, Raphael placed a small amount of the warm viscous fluid upon his lips and stepped back. A soft glow took over the hunter's body before exploding in a brilliant flash of white and blue. The angels watched as the room began to heat up then grow cold as the divine radiance faded away until it completely vanished.

Sam stirred on the couch as he began to slowly come around. His head pounded like a freight train was barreling through as he cautiously opened his eyes to his surroundings. Looking around Sam realized where he was.

"How ya feeling, Sam?" Brady asked placing a hot cup of coffee by the couch. The hunter pinched the bridge of his nose with his index and forefinger before answering his friend.

"If the Orient Express would come to a complete stop I would be just fine," Brady jumped up to fetch some extra strength Tylenol.

Brady headed to Cas and Brook's room seeing the angel in a state of meditation. He figured it would be best to let the seraph know Sam was alright.

"Cas, Sam's awake," the angel's eyes shot wide open as he rose to join the younger hunter.

"Cas!" Sam jumped up quickly regretting it as his head pounded harder. The angel sensed he was in pain and gently placed his hand on the hunter's forehead willing the pain away.

"Guess you won't need these," Brady held out the two tabs in his hand. Sam took the tabs shoving them in his pocket in case he needed them later. "Thanks, Brady," he said smiling at his friend before turning to the angel.

"Thanks, Cas," Sam said with genuine gratitude. Castiel smiled at the hunter before asking him the million dollar question.

"Sam, do you know where Dean and Brook are?" Sam thought for a minute struggling to remember anything he could only to growl in disappointment when he unsuccessfully couldn't recall one single event.

"No, but maybe we could track them down somehow. I know Lucifer's blood is coursing through Brooklyn's veins and now Dean's as well."

"What?! Lucifer tainted them with his blood!?" Castiel and Tariel cried out in unison. Now they knew what the Fallen One had done to their loved ones. They were in the grip of Lucifer's control, manipulated like puppets on strings.

"Cas, all this time, all this pain…" Tariel started to say.

"Lucifer will suffer for this. Brooklyn and Dean would never hurt us like that, Tariel. When I was in our room I found this behind our picture," he handed the letter to his sister allowing her to read the deep seated confession. Her eyes softened as the words on the parchment moved her.

"Cas, this is beautiful. I mean I know Brooklyn loves you but this speaks volumes about her," Castiel nodded feeling a bit of red reaching his cheeks. Markus and Brady got the letter and read her declarations grinning at the depth of her feelings for the angel. The Healer and Messenger read the letter as Gabriel felt a few tears welling up. His daughter's love for the angel ran deeper than he had ever suspected.

"Uh I hate to be the one to break up the Hallmark moment but I think I may have an idea on how to find Brook and Dean," Sam chimed in.

Ok everyone the next update will be soon!!! I wrote this chap in response to a review I got from a reader today.

Alliehalliwell this one was for you :)

I got the idea for Brooklyn being trapped in limbo from the novel Dreamcatcher by Stephen King. One of the main characters is possessed but he is trapped within his body able to see and hear everything that is going on outside.
