His thoughts were scattered as his head jerked to another side of the warehouse, he knew who it was long before he had seen her.
Leaving Paige's side he stepped into the other room only to see Alison standing in the middle of the room.
"I am very disappointed in you Castiel."
Her tone was cold as she stepped forward. "You disobeyed my command to not interfere and now things have gotten out of
hand."
Castiel looked behind him toward the other room were Paige was, unsure if she could hear the other voices coming from this room or not. His eyes met Alison's.
"What purpose do I have if I cannot protect her?" He stated back until he paused and a cold chill raced threw his body.
"No! I will not allow it."
"You have no choice and watch your tone Castiel." Suddenly the two seemed to face off.
"You remember who can have you dragged back to heaven and another can replace you."
So that was it, all this time he was just leading the lamb to slaughter. It was her destiny for her to one day take her own life and her soul was hell bound. After the life she had lived, Castiel could not imagine it. "Why. Tell me." He demanded.
"God works in…"
"Don't you dare…" Castiel seethed
Alison's eyes narrowed. "You should show me more respect, Castiel. I have allowed you out of heaven but I can take you back."
The thought made Castiel still, thinking of leaving Paige almost felt like falling from grace. "How long?" His voice
changed slightly.
"Unknown."
Lies, but Castiel didn't seem to push it as he looked down to the cracked concrete floor already knowing Alison was gone leaving him to stand defeated in the broken room. At the moment every ounce of him wanted to turn this structure into nothing but a pile of ash around him but the snap of a twig behind him caused Castiel to slowly turn and face who he knew was in the doorway. How could he tell this human the feeling even he didn't understand?
Paige stood there with his coat wrapped around her shoulders
"Cas whats going on? who was that?"she had only seen the woman for second before she had seemed upset and she didn't know why which scared her slightly .
She moved a little closer to see him better "are you in trouble or something?"she said feeling worried
Castiel didn't know how to answer he had not feel the reason to be dishonest but now he wasn't so sure. He felt her presence grow closer which made him feel only that much more ashamed for what was going to come to pass instead his head rose and his eyes met her gaze. "It was my superior."
His voice sounded distant as if he was trying to place distance between them but for some reason he just didn't have the
heart to do so.
"I have fallen out of favor but it is nothing you need to worry about in our present condition we have more important
maters to attend to."
"so there is like a chain of command for angel's?" Paige felt kinda bad "i don't want you to get into trouble with god or
whoever because of me".
She didn't like the thought of him being in had grown attached to him and did want to drag anyone else
into her messed up stood there just looking at him for awhil"what do we need to do now" she said braking the silence
"Yes, There is a how you saw 'pecking order' but…" It was Castiel's turn to turn quiet at the mention of god. Breaking the eye contact he only shook his head. "Our father has not been in communications with us for centuries now." Walking over to the window Castiel at the moment
weighted his options to what to do next, he had chosen this but some were deep he had already made up his mind about the whole situation. He would not allow Paige to be damned. He couldn't. "Its simple… we must keep you away from your father."
Paige was a little confused "I thought god talked with his angels all the time,at least that what my mother told me" She
walked further into the room "i thought there was no real chance of me...not getting caught" she said quietly while pacing the started picking at the scabs on her left wrist deep in thought."you told me you couldn't interfere and with every cop in the state out looking for me its going to happen" she sighed "they'll find me..." Paige then stayed quiet
"I won't let them." Castiel suddenly snapped only to realize what he was saying and the truth Paige had spoken. He had been warned once,
twice there would be serious consequences to his irrational actions. "I don't want for your blood to be on my hands, and I know if I allow them to take you…"
The words caught in his throat as he looked to the skies. Everything use to be so simple, he could watch a thousand lives
through the looking glass but it had taken only one to open his eyes and show him every human life has some meaning. "If you go back, you will die and if I interfere I will be killed…"
There was no way around the ruling or the judgment.
"In all the centuries I have walked on this earth no human has ever made me feel the way you have… it's a sensation that intrigues and terrifies me all at the same time." Castiel didn't bare to look at her now as he spoke. "I will never feel like you only because I am not human… but I fear loosing you."
She couldn't look at him ether,she had never had someone care about her it always felt like everyone ether wanted
her gone or use her like some kind of toy."I don't want to lose you ether but i'd rather i die then you" She walked over and stood next to him "When im caught don't bother with it Cas ok,i understand im going to die and i know how its going to happen.I'm just one person,nothing special but your an Angel you can help other people"
She looked down at her hands
"Just let whatever happens,happen don't get yourself killed over me" she said quietly
Never before had Castiel feel so torn between his orders and duty. Slowly turning to her his hand slowly reached out to
take hers as he marveled in the simple touch. His eyes watched with fascination as he traced her skin almost like in the hotel. He would have killed for her, and he would do it in a angels breath but as she asked for this simple request he knew he would not be able to honor it. "No… you don't understand…" He whispered.
