Summary: Sam tells Cas what happens. Cas has time to question metaphors.

This is Sam…leave a message. Beep
"Sam…it has been days. Please, can you pick up the phone to know to at least know that you are alive and well. I will…" Castiel said with a sigh.
He knew that he couldn't do anything. He had weakened more since he left Sam. Even with Hannah's help, it may not be enough.
"I will come back. As Dean would say…I will become a feathered pain in the ass. I…" He said as he pulled the phone away from his face.
His fingers pressed against his nose and rubbed it. He felt his head started to pound. He knew what he felt coming on was a headache. He has suffered many of these since joining Winchesters…both as a metaphor and quite tangible.
He wished that Sam would pick up the phone. He wished that a demon wasn't walking around in Dean's body. He wished that his body wasn't failing him so. He wished that he didn't leave Sam. What was that saying? Wishes were like stars. Empty, cold, and useless…and oh, plentiful.
Beep.
He pushed the end button. Perhaps, he should text him. No…Sam is unlikely to answer them especially if he is lost in his thoughts or in danger. On second thought…perhaps, he should text him. Maybe, it would arouse a response from Sam. Perhaps, he would text back.
What is the other saying? Oh, like pigs could fly.
He frowned. Technically, pigs could fly if they on an airplane or another form of flying apparatus. He shook his head and sighed. He pressed his fingers against the buttons to send the text.
Please, Sam…call me.
-SPNSPN-
He heard his phone shake from his nightstand. He stumbled out of the bed to get it. It could be Sam. It had to be or he was going to hit something or collapse. He wasn't quite sure what his body would do. He flipped open the phone.
"Sam?" He said into the phone.
"Hey, Cas," Sam said softly.
He felt his fingers pressed against his nose again. There were so many things that he wanted to say. He wanted to ask where Sam was and how he has been. But…he knew better.
"Sam." He said again.
"I'm fine. I just…fine." Sam said softly.
He wanted to say that Sam wasn't well. He sounded tired.
"Sam…"
"I…my plan didn't work."
"What happened?"
"I was able to get a crossroad demon. I was planning to drag Dean out of hiding. It didn't work."
He pulled the phone away for a moment then frowned slightly.
"Sam…how did you get a crossroad demon to come out?"
"An idiot at a bar…It still didn't work, Cas. She knew nothing about Dean. No matter how much information that I tried to drag out of her, she told me nothing. Crowley got everyone on locked down. It's back to drawing board." Sam said.
Sam sounded tired. Most tired that before. He wished…he sighed to himself. He couldn't do much from where he was.
"Cas…are you okay?" Sam asked.
"I'm…weakening." He said.
"Hannah hasn't been able to help?"
"No, Hannah has been a great help but all of the solutions that we have came up with so far have been temporary."
"I haven't seen anything when I have been going through the books."
He blinked in surprise.
"You have been looking?" He asked.
"Of course. You are my friend, Cas. I can't just let you…you are family. I can't just you go without a fight," Sam said.
He felt his heart tightened in his chest. This is why he fell those many years ago. He fell because he believed in the Winchesters. They had a measure of faith in him as well.
He felt something out of the corner of his eye. Hmm…this is must what they call sinuses.
"Thank you, Sam…you sound tired. Perhaps, you should rest." He said.
"Okay…Okay…you too, okay? You don't sound too hot yourself."
"I will. Good-bye."
"Bye."
He pulled away from the phone and shut it off.
What was the other saying?
The road to hell was pace in good intentions. He just hoped that Sam didn't walk that path but he knew that Sam would do anything for his brother. God knew that he may not be able to stop.
He might walk that same path with him.
End of Saying
Next Chapter: Mark from the Beginning
A/N: I have no idea if this fic is going to go into Season 11. Season 10 has some great Cas/Sam moments and definitely going to look forward to that. I guess, we will see? Anyway, thanks everyone for their reviews.
