Chapter 10

I do not own Supernatural in any way.


Alastair was struck with blue-white lightning and vanished.

"What the hell?" Dean asked.

"Guess again", a voice said.

Dean turned around and found Castiel.

"What just happened? You and Sam just saved a seal. We captured Alastair. Dean, this was a victory", Castiel said.

"Well, no thanks to you", Dean snapped.

"What makes you say that?" Castiel asked.

"You were here the whole time?" Dean asked Castiel.

"Enough of it", Castiel answered looking away.

"Well, thanks for your help with the rock salt", Dean growled.

"That script on the funeral home—we couldn't penetrate it", Castiel said.

"That was angel-proofing", Dean said.

"Why do you think I recruited you and Sam in the first place?" Castiel asked looking at Dean.

"You recruited us?" Dean asked.

"That wasn't your friend Bobby who called, Dean. It wasn't Bobby who told Sam about the seal", Castiel said.

"That was you?" Dean asked.

Castiel looked down.

"If you want our help, why the hell didn't you just ask?" Dean asked him.

"Because whatever I ask, you seem to do the exact opposite", Castiel said.

"So, what now, huh? The people in this town, they just gonna start dying again?" Dean asked.

"Yes", Castiel said.

"These are good people. What, you think you can make a few exceptions?" Dean asked.

"To everything there is a season", Castiel said cryptically.

"You made an exception for me", Dean said.

Castiel paused and then looked at Dean. "You are not the only one Dean", Castiel said, "You two are different".

"Two?" Dean asked, "Who's the other?"

"It doesn't matter". Castiel disappeared.

Celeste didn't appear beside him.


"You're getting too close to them", Gabriel said.

"I'm 18 Gabriel! I can do what I want and see who I want", Celeste spat.

"Those two are bad news", Gabriel said.

"Give me one legit reason why I shouldn't interact with them anymore", Celeste said.

"Because those two are going to end the world! And I don't want you caught in the crossfire", he said.

"What?" Celeste asked.

Gabriel sat down and started to explain everything to her.
