A/N: Here's a future!interlude again (or in this case a not-so-future!interlude). It takes place in 2014, the alternate future Zachariah sent Dean to. Thanks again for your reviews ;)


EDEN

Belief, a not so future interlude

Sorrow. A deep grief that was eating his insides away slowly and painfully. Something he would never have imagined to feel all those years ago before the Apocalypse had come to destroy them all. Even many years after his death, he hadn't let go yet, he couldn't. He had become human but his life seemed meaningless now that he wasn't there to share it any longer.

When the older Winchester from the past appeared just before they prepared to go to their death, a new feeling blossomed in his chest, an emotion he almost failed to recognize because of the years he hadn't felt it. Hope. Such a strange thing in this era of absolute chaos.

"What happened to Harry?" asked Dean as they stepped in the car.

"He died," Castiel said softly.

Instead of the heartache the former angel had expected to feel as usual these days, pride radiated from him at the knowledge that he didn't go out without a fight.

"When he wouldn't join Lucifer, the Fallen killed him."

He didn't care whether he would die in the future battle against Lucifer or not. This future wasn't anymore. What was and what happened would never come to pass.

He had to believe that he could be saved.


A/N: Reviews are appreciated as always, thanks in advance!
