Hello kittens! What is this? Why it's another chapter! Sorry, I was meaning to type this up a few days ago but... Books. Heh. I was reading TFIOS, upon a friend's request.
Elsie (guest): I'm sorry for not answering some of your questions earlier. Yes Dean and Cas are in college, yes they're on summer break. Cas seems the be a more "just roll with it" kind of person to me, that's why I'm not having him freak out.
Catherine walked out of the small bathroom connected to Castiel's small bedroom. She was drying her hair with a towel as she walked around in a pair of boxer briefs and a baggy t-shirt. She sat on the end of Castiel's bed and tilted her head slightly.
"What?" Castiel felt as if she should know what the other girl meant, but alas she was lost. She pulled her knees closer to her chest and rested her chin.
"So what's your story?" When Castiel gave her a look that clearly said 'you're on drugs or something' Catherine smiled. "Everyone has a story. What's yours?"
"What do you mean?"
"How'd you end up here? What did you do before? Do you have any siblings? That kind of stuff." Catherine laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
"I was homeschooled," Castiel said quietly, her voice shaking slightly. "I ran away after finishing school, dad wanted me to go to college online but I wanted to have friends."
Catherine nodded slowly. "That's why you didn't understand the term jelly and why you didn't know what a sleepover was."
Castiel nodded. "My siblings kept trying to get me to come home but I kept running, I didn't want to go back. I didn't want anything to do with the family business... I just wanted to be able to be myself, to do what I wanted." Her voice started to waver but she took a deep breath and continued. "My sister, Anna, she's the last communication I've had with my family in a little over a year. Last I saw of her she was storming away from me after I'd said I didn't want to go home..."
"I'm guessing something bad happened?" Castiel nodded slowly and took a shaking breath. "It's alright," Catherine started, "you don't have to-"
"I'm going to." Castiel looked sideways at Catherine. "I was so angry, I didn't try to stop her." She shivered and buried her face in her knees. "The car hit her, people were screaming and then an ambulance showed up... I hadn't known what to do so I ran, I'd been sleeping in the park for a few nights when Dean found me."
Catherine blinked slowly. "Tough life." She leaned back on her elbows. "Is she your only sibling?"
Castiel shook her head. "Gabriel stops by sometimes but I avoid him. I normally stay in my room reading when he visits."
Catherine scrunched her nose. "Gabriel? As it Candy God, the dude dating Sammy?"
Castiel nodded. "That's the one."
Catherine pulled Castiel into a hug. "My heart aches for you. Gabe gets so extremely annoying."
Castiel shrugged. "What about you?"
"Me?" Catherine tugged at her long black and red hair. "Well, my parents died when I was little and I was adopted into the family. I've always had a fascination with magic and the likes, as you can clearly see, and that's about it." Her emerald eyes danced through the room. "Papa Bobby, their uncle, has always been kinda protective and such."
"Why do you say that?"
"The first day I brought home my boyfriend he'd all but stacked him with questions," she chuckled at the memory. "He means well, really." She grabbed a box of Bottlecaps from her bag. "Now what'd you say we play a game?"
"Alright. I can go borrow a board game from Dean."
"You do that, if I asked he'd deny me and send me home." Catherine popped one of the purple Bottlecaps into her mouth.
I was eating Bottlecaps as I wrote this so give me a break. I'm sorry this is so late, forgive me *offers up my Destiel fanart that I made last night* and I have thuroughly pissed off my stepfather because I didn't clean my room so excuse me while I go do that. ~Cat.
