Chapter 10-General of the Angel Garrison

A month had gone by since Dean had watched his brother sign himself over to the dark side. They didn't even have cookies! Dean would know. Cas had hid them from the angels and eventually, they just quit looking. They were out looking for Lilith's followers and getting rid of them. They had no idea that by doing this, they were helping Tom as well. But that's when Dean learnt that there were other angels out there that were on the same side as Dean and Cas. He didn't know who they were, but he knew they were scared of what Tom would do once he reached full power. Dean guessed they were the angelic spies that had made it safely out of Tom's army.

The signs of the beginning of the end began to grow in power once Tom took over. More lightning storms, more earthquakes, more of...well everything. Dean just wished that Tom would go ahead and send his demon army to kill him, because life wasn't worth living anymore. Tom had taken everything away from him by marrying Sam. All he wanted to do was die now. And if he knew where Sam was, which he had a pretty good idea, it had already been a year for him.

"Dean." Cas said, stepping out of the shadows wearing what Dean called his assign clothes. He wore all black and had a gun hidden below his black t-shirt and a dagger hidden beneath the cuff of his black jeans. An angel gone rogues kit for surviving war with his family. Dean looked up at him. Over the past month, they had both changed. Cas had shed everything that he had been ID with and moved on to a darker, more sinister look. Dean had drank more, filling the empty void where his heart should be with more alcohol. The more he drank, the farther he sank so he wanted to drink more. He needed Sam. And the thought of saving his brother was the only thing that stopped him from pulling the trigger with the bottle attached to his lips.

"What Cas?" Dean asked as he glared at the TV in front of him. The news was on. It had been some comedy show that Dean liked, but it had switched.

"I have found a few angels that have jointed our cause." Cas said. "I have checked them all. They are all good warriors." Cas added. Dean nodded his head. His hair had gotten longer and swayed as he did.

"Good." Dean simply said. He stood and went to the fridge. They had taken over Bobby's house and Bobby always seemed to have alcohol. He tried to hide it from Dean, but he learned after he saw Dean crying over Sam that it wasn't wise to do that. He hated it when Dean broke his barriers and started to show emotions. He knew he missed Sam, hell Bobby missed the kid, but Dean took it harder than anyone. That was the night that Bobby learned that Dean loved Sam more than just brothers. He just didn't realize it until Sam had been taken.

"When do you wish for them to come to base?" Cas asked as Dean grabbed a ham sandwich out of the fridge. He lifted it to his nose and tossed it back in. Instead, he grabbed a bottle of Jack and drank a bit of it.

"I don't give a rats ass." Dean said. If it were up to him, he would've already went to hell and dragged Sam out of there himself. He wouldn't be organizing a garrison to fight with him. He'd do it himself.

"You're the general Dean." Cas said. "We can't make our next move until you give us your orders." Dean didn't even look back at Cas as he made his way into the study, where Bobby was going through books.

"If I knew what our next move was, don't you think I'd tell you?" Dean asked. Cas was really starting to get on his every last nerve. He just wanted to strangle him at times, but he knew that if Cas hadn't been around, he would have been dead by then.

"Dean, you know if I knew anyway to save Sam, I would." Cas said. Dean nodded his head as he looked out the window. It was sunny today, but it did nothing to warm Dean's heart.

"I know Cas." Dean said. "I just want Sam back. I just want him to come home." Bobby looked up from his book and watched Dean. He would never know how hard life was for the eldest Winchester boy. His mom, his dad, and now his little brother. It all had to be painful for him.

"I shall talk to them." Cas said. Dean nodded and the angel disappeared. Dean stood there for a moment, then finally set down. Bobby watched him as he set down on the worn leather couch.

"We'll get him back Dean." Bobby said. Dean looked up at him, his eyes red and swollen from where he'd held back tears.

"I hope you're right Bobby." Dean said. "Because I can't live another day without him."

Aww, poor Dean. Who wants to hug him? Let the Dean girls line up! Please review!
