Last chapter. :) thanks for reading, guys. Used a line somewhere in here from the song Samson by Regina Spektor.
Cas heard it loud and clear from the inside of the back portion of the tardis.
"Emmaralda!"
It was compulsive. He spread his wings and teleported towards Em who was spiraling out into the darkness. Her hands were outstretched and she was almost out of the air bubble of the tardis. Cas grabbed her outstretched hands and pulled her to safety leaving the leader of the statues to fall forever into the abyss.
Cas carried Em onto the tardis and the doctor immediately come to her side. Cas –who still can't walk- scooted away. The doctor placed her head unto his lap and stroked her blonde and blue hair "Emma, my dear Emma." HE muttered. Emma had puncture wounds that went very deep from the statue's claws.
"Cas!" He suddenly said. "You can heal her, can't you?"
"I used all of my powers in the spell. I can't even heal myself anymore. All I have are my wings."
"Then teleport her to the hospital!"
"I have no knowledge of these parts of the universe. The travel may only worsen her and… those wounds are too deep."
"Then Merlin!"
Merlin shook his head "I need to know what caused it perfectly and the statues are too old for me."
"There must be something!" The doctor slammed his foot on the ground but everyone stayed quiet.
Em held his hand "It's okay, doctor." She whispered. "Missionaries aren't really meant to live."
"But… You were supposed to be y companion. You were supposed to see the stars, save planets, kill bad guys, and discover more."
A tear from the doctor fell on Em's forehead. She smiled and murmured, looking outside the tardis "But I already have. I've accompanied you throughout this adventure, I've seen the stars." She laughed, pointing at the open doors of the tardis "I've saved every planet, I killed at least 4 bad guys, and I learned so much more. My life was only a few hours but it felt full and that's what matters."
They gathered around her and sat in silence.
"Merlin?" Em asked.
Merlin looked up at her with tears in her eyes.
"yeah?"
"you've got a long way to go but never give up, especially on Arthur. He needs you. Sherlock? John? Admit it, you guys are desperately in love with one another."
Sherlock and John smiled.
"Cas, You're gonna play a great role I the lives of everyone. Actually, you already have. Take care of the Winchesters for me, honey."
"I promise." Cas said.
"And Winchesters, take care of Cas for me, he's got a long way to go."
"You're the boss, Em." Dean said, smiling.
"And doctor." Em ended. The doctor was crying now and he couldn't hold it back.
"I've killed you. I'm your downfall." The doctor cried.
Em looked up at him with her crystal eyes, kissed him softly on his forehead and whispered "You are my sweetest downfall."
And that was how Emmaralda Bright died.
Merlin was the first to be dropped off. He didn't say anything. He just waved the away and left. The doctor was quiet when he dropped of Sherlock and John too.
"We won't forget this, doctor." Sherlock said.
The doctor just nodded and left them in the middle of the night in front of 221 B Baker Street.
The last to go was Sam, Dean, and Cas. They were back at the alley. Back to where they first met and back to where it all started. Everything was in its place and it was as if nothing have ever happened.
"We saved the entire universe and no one on Earth will ever know it except for us." Sam said.
"You get used to it." The doctor said.
"So this is goodbye, will you find yourself another adventure and will you find yourself another companion?" Dean asked.
"No." The doctor answered. He lost the twinkle in his eyes and his wide, goofy smile. "Not for a long time, no."
They were about to leave when Dean turned around and said "One last thing doctor, will we ever have another adventure? Another Team Free Will gathering?"
The doctor smiled sadly at them. You could almost see the thirst for adventure in his eyes again- the young bright eyes that have seen the end of the universe and the very beginning of it.
The doctor stared at them for a long time before finally saying "We shall see, Winchesters. After all, adventure is waiting at every corner."
