Chapter 7: I can feel your fever, taking over

"Well I guess I'll have to be strong, you too Dean. I know you're nervous for me." Cas said. About 10 minutes past and the fever started to kick in.

"Of course I am," he stated, pulling himself up from the chair to soak towels in ice water. "Of course I'm nervous for you, I care about you." He set the rags along his arms, setting one on his forehead as well.

"Dean I think it's starting. I feel hot, it's starting to get worse" Cas said, sweat starting to appear on his face. "I care about you too Dean, ahhh it's starting to get hotter." Cas said. He started to feel it, his skin radiating with heat.

"Cas it will be alright, just imagine being in a place thats cold. Escape somewhere else and take your mind off the hot. Don't let it get to you." Dean said, his voice getting disparate. "The heat will consume you and eat away at your sanity, please Cas don't lose to this. I can't watch you become a monster." Dean said, tears falling from his face, usually he wouldn't let his emotions get the best of him. "I am so sorry. I, we didn't have another choice."

Cas started to stir on the bed, he felt as if he was melting away. He let Dean wipe his sweat drenched face off, and remove the restraints see as he wasn't being hostile at the moment. "Dean it will be alright." Cas said before letting the fever take full effect.

Dean sat there next to the bed, he'd never felt so helpless in his life. Sure he'd watched other humans being turned, but this one he cared about. This one he wanted to spend the remainder of his days with. "I know, I have faith in you. You can beat this" Dean said, getting up and pacing around the room.

It wasn't long before Cas' condition worsened, feeling as though the sun was only feet away. "Dean, it hurts." The azure eye'd boy began to get vicious, desperately trying to get cool. He tore his shirt off, chest glistening with sweat. Dean knew he had to act quick, because the fever would soon complete the transformation from human into a werewolf. It was the key part in determining whether or not Cas would be a ruthless bloodthirsty killer, or righteous wolf.

Dean locked the door and ran outside the motel room, he was looking for the ice box. When he found it, he noticed the big lock on it. His teeth extended and he ripped the lock off. He went to Cas' car and grabbed a large tote. He filled it to the brim with ice. He ran as fast as he could throwing the ice into the bathtub of the motel room.

Cas had removed his pants in an attempt to get cool, but it seemed hopeless. His skin was burning. He felt like his insides were burning as well. "Deaaaannnn!" He choked out. Dean ran into the room and picked up the slender boy bridal style. Any other time he would have said something clever or perverted about Cas' hearted boxer shorts, but this wasn't the time for that.

"Shhhh Cas just focus on me. Imagine us going on a date in the cold arctic, watching the penguins waddle around. Jumping in and out of cold ice water" Dean said, hastily dropping Cas into the tub full of ice water. Cas sighed in relief at first, but it wasn't enough.

"Dean, I still feel hot and i-its too much. I can't handle it" Cas desprately screamed. He began thrashing in the tub full of water and his eyes glowed blue and his facial expression changed from pained to murderous.

"Cas don't. Please. You can't lose to this. I-I did this to you, its my fault" Dean said, crying and trying to find something to cool Cas down. He ran to the kitchen and grabbed salt. After emptying it into the bathtub it seemed to calm Cas' look some, but not for long.

'I can't do this, but I have to. I have to get through this for Dean.' Cas thought to himself. He was unconscious, at the same time he could feel all of the pain, he could feel the beast come to the surface, his humanity slowly being singed away. Cas' hands and feet turned and claws protracted out of them.

The azure eyed man stood up in the tub, water glistening on his skin and traces of salt scattered about his exposed flesh. "Cas sit back down" Dean said, taking a couple steps back. He saw his eyes, the innocence in them were gone and only an evil look remained.

A loud growl came off Cas' lips. He hopped out of the bathtub and lunged at Dean. The green larger man acted fast and avoided being pinned against the wall. Dean's eyes glowed gold and he phased into a wolf. He couldn't let Cas get out into the public, he would go on a killing spree. Dean pushed Cas against hard against the wall and he let out a yelp.

Before long Dean was overpowered by Cas, not that Dean was trying in the first place. He didn't want to hurt Cas. The beast tore into Dean's leg and the larger boy yelped at the top of his lungs. 'Dean? I hurt Dean?' Cas thought to himself. 'I have to gain control, I can't lose to this damn fever'

Dean was under Castiel once more, arms crossed in front of his face. He shifted back to human form. "Cas please..please come back to me." The blue eye'd boy bit into Dean's shoulder and the larger man let out a pained winse. "Cas...Cas I love you, please come back to me" The man said, tears running down his face. He shut his eyes tight and began thinking of his life. Remembering Sammy, all the good memories that they had shared. He remembered when he was turned. He had just turned 16.

Sam had been sick with a bad cough and needed medicine. The motel they were staying with while their dad was on a hunt for the yellow eyed demon was close to a pharmacy, but the fastest way there was through a short patch of woods. He was bit shortly after his journey into the woods. The alpha coming back days later for him. Dean had left a letter for Sam and took their dads Impala, knowing he was eventually going to inherit it anyways. He took it up far deep into the woods and met up with the alpha. Since werewolves obviously didn't need cars he stored it one of his dad's many storage places.

Eventually the alpha taught Dean how to properly use his abilities. He had also learned that humans were off limits to be in friendships or relationships with, and if you did you either had to kill them or turn them. The only exception is if you had to get supplies.

Dean's memory flashes got to when he first met Cas, an defenseless looking boy in a car. His mother being attacked by a vampire. Dean had been sent to kill the vampire anyways, because he was in werewolf territory. He blamed himself for not being able to save Cas' mother, but it was sort of a blessing in disguise. He knew that his mother would have wanted her son to live, but that wouldn't have happened because if they both lived Alastair would have went after them for knowing the existence of their kind. Since his mother died, he had a body to show Alastair and Dean lied and said that she was the only one in the vehicle, when the truth was he ran Cas over to the nearest person to get help.

Before long Dean realized he wasn't dead and he slowly opened his eyes. What he saw wasn't the beast that had taken over Cas, it was his Castiel and he was crying over Dean. He had the most hurt expression on his face, like he hated that he'd hurt the green eyed boy. Dean brought a hand up to the side of Cas' cheek and cupped it, bringing him to his face. He planted a loving kiss on his lips. Tears began streaming down Castiel's face and he pulled away. "I heard what you said earlier. I-I just want you to know how sorry I am. I never wanted to hurt you."

Dean raised his brow, like he was almost surprised that Cas was apologizing. "Shut up" Dean spoke in a harsh tone. "Don't apologize this isn't your fault. If anything your strength saved me because you regained control. I can't explain how much I'm glad you gained control. I would have never forgave myself if you stayed a monster. It doesn't suit you" Dean said, his expression taking a 360 from forceful to almost caring. He brought Cas into another kiss and picked him up.

Cas liked the feeling of being in Dean's arms, it was comforting. They ended up in the bed. Dean laid Cas down and he took the spot next to him. "Get some rest, your fever is almost gone, but all of that shifting drained you. I'll be here when you get up I promise" Dean said, wrapping his arms around Cas tight. He watched as Cas slept, chest slowly rising and falling. It was soothing to him, and he too fell into slumber.
