The Revelation mentioned in this chapter is one I made up randomly.

Alyssa's POV
I woke up in the morning of the next day sad to see Castiel gone but knew he had to save seals. I was glad he laid me down and cleared the bed so I could sleep. He was pretty good with this friend thing.

I let a few days pass before I left the motel. I had done a bit of research and found a case not far away. I didn't see Castiel in that time but again, he was busy so I didn't mind. He pretty much was saving the world. The case was a simple one, just a werewolf. It only to one day. Once I was done I actually was tempted to drive to Pennsylvania where Oktoberfest was being held but decided against it last minute as there was a case there and I just got done with mine. Though I made sure to shoot Bobby a text about it.

I stayed in town another day to let myself relax. I got myself takeout and sat in front of the TV to help myself relax. I glanced at my phone as it lit up but I looked towards the screen again. It was on silent right now because Dean and Sam were both trying really hard to get in touch with me these past few days but I wasn't going back, not now.

I remembered what Dean and Sam use to say, never call myself a freak. Bunch of bull now as Dean only looked at me as a freak. Sam, there was just too much with Sam.

I was barely a minute into my dinner when the flutter of wings sounded and I looked to see Castiel. His face was always unreadable but today…I don't know but it was different.

"Hey, how are you Castiel?" I asked muting the TV.

He tilted his head slightly. "I am fine."

"Friends ask each other Castiel." I explained. "We can rather lie and say we're fine or we can tell the truth and vent our problems."

He nodded slowly understanding. "How are you?"

"Dealing. Still upset about my family but dealing."

He turned quiet a look passing through his eyes. One I knew from the mirror. I stood and hesitated before walking over to take his hand.

"What's wrong?"

He remained silent as he didn't take his hand away from mine.

"Castiel, what's wrong? If you tell me, it will be different."

He studied me to catch a lie before looking at the ground.

"I've lost a sister and three brothers since we last spoke."

"I'm sorry. Did they...pass on while protecting a seal?" Angel or not, I tried to be delicate with my words.

"They did. None of the seals were saved."

He still didn't look up as I watched him thinking through my action before doing. I wrapped my arms around him and he stiffened slightly before he wrapped his arms around me as well.

"At least they were trying to do a good thing."

He nodded before I let him go.

"So, why did you come around?" I asked changing the subject for him. "Ordered to watch me again?"

"No, I've actually come to request your help."

I watched him for a moment seeing a...reluctant look? I couldn't quite tell.

"With what?"

"There are demons here. In this town. They are here to break a seal."

I straightened slightly at that. How had I missed demon activity here?

"Alright, well no offense why aren't you killing them right now?"

"They're being careful to hide themselves. It is difficult for us to locate them."

"And you think I can? I didn't even know the were here."

"You...and your family have a greater sense of how to track them."

I felt quite grateful that he understood I didn't want to hear much about my family.

"Well luckily I didn't have to use much with the werewolf. I still got a handful of options."

"So you'll help?"

"Yeah, anything for a friend. And a seal." I added. "But I'm human, I need rest and food. The seal will be safe tonight?"

He noticed the meal I had now. "Yes."

"Thank you. Now, care to watch a movie or do you have another seal?"

He stood there hesitate for a moment before slowly sitting on the edge of the bed. I smiled joining him as I unmuted the TV. Together the two of us sat as I ate and he asked question, which I answered. It was rather peaceful sitting here with the angel in a trench coat.

After I woke up the next day and dressed simply , I went to a diner for breakfast with my laptop. I typed quietly as I drank my coffee and ate the small meal on my plate.

"Hey Castiel." I muttered when he sat across for me.

"Have you managed to find anything about the demons?"

I froze from drinking my coffee before looking at him.

"One, no supernatural talk when I'm in a public place. I do not need to go to an asylum. Two, I started five minutes ago!"

He looked slightly frustrated and I sighed putting the cup down. "Look, I know it's a seal, but you've got to give me time. I'll do it but it will take time."

He still looked frustrated but nodded. "Please try to hurry."

"What do you think I'm doing?" I smiled. "It will get done."

He disappeared now and I chuckled shaking my head, "Bye feathers."

~W~

I walked into the room flipping through papers and a few revelations to figure out a bit more about these demons and maybe their place. I glanced up from my papers seeing a figure thinking it was Castiel but froze seeing it was no where near him.

"Who are you?" I asked shifting the paper to one arm and reached for my gun.

H didn't look over at me as he spoke. "You're the mud monkey he asked to help."

I scrunched up my nose pulling my gun out. "You know, its rude to come into someone's room and call them names."

"I don't care." He said simply.

"Rude." I thought before I spoke. "What are you?"

I glanced at the line on the window and door seeing it was not broke so luckily he wasn't a demon, just an ass. He turned to me now and I stood still.

"I'm an angel."

I still didn't drop my guard, I was a hunter after all. Besides, the only angel that I dealt with was Castiel.

"Why are you here?"

"Castiel said he recruited a mud monkey of his. What a surprise it was that it is the small Winchester."

I heard sarcasm. He was more in tune with these things than Castiel. I slowly put the gun away knowing it was useless.

"Do I get the pleasure of a name?"

He ignored my question. "Your help is not needed or wanted. We can do this ourselves."

I bit my tongue to say a lot worse things to the angel. "By the sounds of it, Castiel said you were having difficulty finding some demon."

He stepped forward getting close to my face but I kept my ground. I never started a fight but I would finish it at school.

"How dare you talk to me like that." He snarled.

"I'm simply stating a fact." I retorted.

He glared at me expecting me to falter and run with fear but I refused.

"We do not need a puny human like you."

"Is that so?"

"Yes-"

I saw something glint when all the sudden large black wings appeared in front of me but just as quickly as they appeared, they were gone.

"Castiel, move."

I blinked to see the trench coat wearing angel in front of me separating me from the other angel.

"You will not harm her Uriel." He ordered him.

"And why not?"

"She is my charge. You harm her, I will have no choice."

I didn't realize it at first but I felt a wave of power coursing through the room. The two angels were challenging each other big time.

"We do not need her."

"We can't find the demons and the seal must be saved."

Uriel glared at Castiel but he refused to cower under his gaze either.

"Fine." Uriel snapped. "Let her prove herself. If she fails to save the seal, well it proves my point."

Uriel left with the flurry of wings. Castiel stood in wait before turning to me.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'll be ok." I nodded.

"He tilted his head. "Why are you shaking?"

I looked at my hands and I was shaking. I guess I was more scared than I thought. I cleared my throat putting the paper on the table.

"It's nothing."

"But shaking is a bad sign with humans. Are you cold or sick?"

I sighed shaking my head. "No, I'm scared. I'm more scared than I thought I was."

I put my hand on my wrist but my throat tightened when I realized I didn't have my bracelet. My anger was slowly turning into sadness and missing my family. I was still going to be pissed at Sam and I wasn't going to like Dean's looks but I kind of missed them.

I looked up as I felt a hand on my shoulder. Castiel's face was just the stone but there was sympathy and concern pushing through the stone.

"Uriel will not harm you. Angels can not unless they wish to be punished or harmed themselves."

I nodded smiling slightly. "Thank for the save by the way."

"It's my job."

"Still." I took a deep breath before sitting and spreading out the papers. "Alright, I've got very little on the demons other than crimes committed by them possibly."

"We need more than possibly." He said looking at the papers.

"I know and I've been reading through Revelations but I just don't know what they're doing or where."

Castiel was still flipping through the papers before putting four in front of me with crime scene photos of girls that had been killed.

"Four virgins, they need five." He stated simply.

"What?" I questioned looking at the pictures.

"Look at the locations."

I did scrunching up my eyebrows as I did before pulling out a map and marking them. Right now it looked like a slightly titled diamond but with five…

"A pentagram."

"'With pure blood spilt shall give life to many.'"

"That's a Revelation?"

"A very, very old version but yes." He nodded.

"Alright well they'll be in this area tonight." I circled a radius. "That's the last spot."

"Bur we don't know where they are now."

"You know where they're going to be." I reminded him.

"But they wouldn't come if angels were around."

I hummed tapping the table. I thought through the options before looking up at him.

"How'd you know they were virgins?"

"They're marked as one."

I nodded before clapping my hands as I stood. "Alright, well then I should get over there and wait for them."

"What?" He immediately asked grabbing my arm.

"I'm going to be the volunteer sacrifice."

"The seal would break then and you would be dead!" He exclaimed not understanding.

His exclaim actually surprised me. He never yelled. He was normally cool and collected. This was new.

"Castiel, relax, I'm not actually going to be a sacrifice. I'll just set a trap. I'm a virgin and a Winchester. Those demons want me as good as dead."

He took a deep breath before letting go of my arm. "What if they know you set a trap?"

"I got holy water, salt, I can keep them away."

"But you can't kill them."

"I can exorcism them. I can do this. Trust me."

He frowned as he watched me before sighing. "If you're sure…"

"I am. Trust me Castiel. That's what friends do."

He looked away not liking this prospect at all but sadly agreed to it. Time to set a trap.

~W~

I sat on the top of my car watching the stars in a small clearing. It was really beautiful out here. If I wasn't a hunter this would be the place I would like to settle in.

"Beautiful isn't it?"

I looked startled to see a woman coming into the clearing. I nodded in response. "It is."

She come next to my car. "What you doing out here?"

"Hoping for a miracle." I shrugged before getting of the hood and going into my open door.

"I guess Winchester would hope for that."

She in enough to get me for me to us it to my advantage. I move and threw her into the car. She responded to leap out but got stuck. I smirked.

"Devil's trap under the carpet of the car. I thought it might be useful one day. I see it was a nice addition."

She glared me with black eyes now as I started reciting the exorcism. Though the second she smirked, I knew I was screwed. Someone grabbed me from behind and threw me back. I groaned on the ground as I reached for my holy water but another took it as they pinned my arms. Three demons in all. No, a fourth came out with another girl who was thrashing helplessly.

"What were you saying?" The woman asked as one of them let her out.

"Bitch." I snapped.

"We thought you might have set a trap but we couldn't kill you. Lilith wants you brought to her alive."

I felt color drain from my face. Why did Lilith want me?

"You would have been the perfect virgin but…" The demon shrugged looking at the frightened girl the other demon was holding. "She'll do."

The pulled a knife and I struggled before closing my eyes.

"Castiel!" I prayed.

I heard a scream and my eyes flew open to see the said angel getting rid of the demon with a bright light. The other demons glared at him as the one that held me forced me to stand. He teleported the girl away before turning to look at me then turned a look of anger at the demons.

"Release her and you shall be granted mercy."

"Not a chance." The demon told him. "Take the prize!"

The one holding me started to move as the other tried to attack Castiel. I head a scream as he forced me through the trees. One demon was easier than three. I immediately elbowed them in the gut. Of course, it was a demon and didn't do much but it was enough to my hands free and pull my salt container, throwing it at him.

He hissed as I ran leaping over tree roots as I heard him follow close. I just needed to stall long enough till Castiel caught up with me. Then searing pain shot through my shoulder slowing me down but I tried to keep going. Then the demon tackled me holding my arms behind my back making me cry out at the pain.

I squirmed causing myself more pain as they went to tie my hands when they screamed. Bright, white light filled the area until it disappeared. I looked over my good shoulder as Castiel crouched next to my bad shoulder.

"This will hurt." He told me flatly before quickly pulling a bloody knife from my shoulder.

I made a muffled scram as I closed my eyes tightly and harshly bit my lip. I felt him lightly press his hand against the wound and the pain disappeared. He had me sit up making me woozy as I opened my eyes. I swayed slightly as he looked around waiting to see if more demons appeared.

"You were right." I said now blinking to clear my head. "They were too strong for me."

His head snapped to me as I shakily stood up. I lost my balance though and fell but he caught me helping to steady me.

"You saved the seal though." He told me. "I thank you for your help."

"Any time." I waved my hand as I looked around. "Which way is my car."

He took my arm and I fell again disoriented as I was in the clearing with Castiel standing over me.

"Warnings are awesome feathers." I mumbled using the car to help me up.

"I apologize."

I looked around the clearing before looking back at him. "So, why does it seem like you were the only angel concerned with the task of saving this seal?"

"My brothers and sisters were looking as well but aren't as willing to ask a human for help. But you are my friend and I knew I could trust you."

I smiled before yawning. "Well, that was an eventful night. Now I need to sleep and you…do whatever you do."

He nodded. "Stay safe Alyssa."

"You as well Castiel. I think I just proved saving seals isn't that easy."

There was a ghost smile on his lips before he seemed to remember something.

"I also wish to give you this."

He held me an odd looking blade that looked to be pure silver. I took it from him carefully inspecting it.

"What is it?" I asked.

"The blade of an angel." I looked at him shocked as he explained. "If Lilith is after you, demons will try again to kidnap you. I am unable to be around you ever moment due to the seals. That is for them. It is able to kill demons."

"Wow…thanks." I said putting it in my pocket.

He nodded. "It is for your protection. Now I bid you good night."

Then he was gone.

"Night feathers." I muttered before climbing into my car and drove away.

~W~

I packed my bags and threw them into the trunk before heading out. This town didn't have anything left for me. I was tapping my hands on the wheel to a song on the radio when I noticed my phone light up. I turned down the volume looking at the phone before sighing and picking it up. It said dad.

I thought about changing it later as I answered. "Hey Sam."

"Alyssa thank god I could get you. We've been trying forever."

"Well I didn't want to answer but I cooled a bit."

"Not too soon I guess. So, how close are you to Rock Ridge, Colorado?"

I sighed looking around. "Hour maybe two. Why?"

He was silent for a moment before speaking. "Dean's infected with this…Ghost sickness. Makes the person infected really scared until they die of a heart attack."

I pressed on the gas a little harder. I wasn't happy with either of them but there wasn't a point when I would say let them die. Well there probably was but today wasn't that day.

"Find our ghost who started it?"

"Yeah…"

"Text me the details, I'll cut my time in half."

I closed the phone and threw it on the passenger's seat as I gripped the wheel determined. No body was going to die today. This time also gave me time to think about a choice. I was missing my family even after everything. I was still pissed at Sam and Dean but they were family. They weren't always suppose to make me happy, while it's preferred, we have to make each other feel bad too.

So while I wasn't happy about it, after I saved my uncle, I would hunt with them again. I hope though with a lot less lying and not too many bad thoughts towards the powers I had no control over.

This was going to be an adventure and I hoped this one didn't end with a knife in my heart or back, tears filling ever memory of the adventure.
