Chapter 7-Animal I Have Become

"Castiel." Someone said. Cas turned around from where he stood to see a shadowed figure standing in the hallway behind him. He had come here looking for help. He never expected this. "Didn't think that you'd actually come here."

"Zachariah, you know that I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my daughter." Cas said. "You must know that Lilith took her. I intend on getting her back." Zachariah began to laugh, which caused Castiel to glare at him. Zachariah had no sense of family love whatsoever. He was always the bully older brother in Cas's family.

"Who do you think alerted the little bitch to the fact that your daughter was home alone?" Zachariah asked. He smirked at Cas, which just pissed him off to no end. Charging forward, Cas let out a battle cry as he tackled his brother to the ground, hitting him against the hard ground.

"Take it back!" Cas snapped. "You didn't really do that! You don't hate me that much!" Cas yelled out. Zachariah smiled at him before he snapped his head up, his forehead connecting with Cas's nose. Cas fell backwards, holding his bloody nose.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Zachariah asked. "To know that you're everybody's favorite son. Well, I got news for you Cas, no one likes you. And since you helped them kill Anna, well, you've just earned yourself a top ranking on the shit list." He stood to follow Cas's retreat. But when Cas looked up at him, he got a huge surprise. Cas's eyes weren't blue anymore. They were yellow.

"Oh come on." He laughed. "I like my nose." Zachariah stumbled back in confusion. How the hell were Cas's eyes yellow?

"You're dead." Zachariah said. "The Winchesters. They killed you. Back in Wyoming." He added. Cas looked around, a bit confused before he realized what Zachariah was talking about.
He gave a soft chuckle.

"Oh, you're talking about Azazel. Well, he is dead. I just sorta borrowed his eye color for awhile. I mean, if Alistair and Lilith can share, then why can't old Yellow Eyes and me?" Cas asked. "I mean, I am a pretty powerful demon. Wanna see?" With a laugh, he easily tossed Zachariah across the room.

"You were born an angel." Zachariah said. "Therefore you are."

"That's where you're wrong Zachery." Cas said, stepping closer to his down brother. "I'm a fallen angel. You ever see the power that they get. I mean, look at Lucifer." Zachariah's face became emotionless at the mention of the fallen archangel.

"Well, I have an ace up my sleeve." Zachariah said. Before Cas could do anything else, a collar was wrapped around his neck and bolted together, chaining Cas to someone like a dog. Cas wrapped his fingers around the cold metal, trying to pry the steel away from his skin, but there wasn't any room to make it budge. "What's the matter Cas, don't like being someone's pet? I mean, it seems like Tom and Veronica keep you on a pretty short leash, so I thought you'd be use to it." Zachariah walked up to Cas, who was on his knees with his head cast down. Zachariah grabbed his chin and forced him to look up at him. When Cas's now blue eyes locked with Zachariah's, he spit in his face.

"Keep your paws off me." Cas growled. Zachariah back handed him, right across the mouth.

"Filthy animal." Zachariah said. He glared at Cas. "And do you know where animals like you belong? That's right my friends, in a cage." He snapped his fingers. "Gil, get this...vermin out of my sight. Now." Zachariah said. Cas felt the collar around his neck pull as the angel that had the chain gave a hard tug. He fell over onto the floor before trying to regain his footing. Gil pulled on the chain again, making Cas face plant onto the floor. His face was now covered in blood. Gil looked over at Zachariah.

"Sir, he won't walk." Gil said. Zachariah smiled at him.

"Well, just do how you get any other animal to behave?" Zachariah asked. He went to the wall and grabbed something. He waved for another angel to come over, who quickly removed Cas's black t-shirt. Quickly, Zachariah swung something at Cas, who was on his hands and knees. It hit in the middle of his back with a loud crack. It was a whip. Cas cried out in pain as the red mark on his back began to bleed. "Are you going to behave like a good little animal?" Zachariah asked. Cas glared at Zachariah as he growled through clenched teeth. If Zachariah decided to treat him like an animal, he might as well act the part.

"I'll see you in hell." Cas said. With that, Gil pulled on the chain and Cas followed along behind him. Zachariah stood there with an evil smile on his face.

Anyone superly mad at me yet? How many people thought I was actually going to have him fight Lilith right away? Please review!
