The Man Who Knew Too Much
Chapter 11 Faith
Cas' feet slammed into the dirt and he fell. Brilliant spots of white appeared in front of his eyes as the blackness quickly faded and he saw what looked like an abandoned chop shop. He looked around and saw Bobby, Sam and Dean shaking off dizziness, but they managed to remain standing. He looked down and saw Crystal stir from the dirt beside him. He gently helped her up and they walked over to the brothers. "What happened?" Cas asked them.
Before the brothers could answer Cas heard a fluttering sound as someone appeared in front of him… he looked familiar… but he couldn't place the name. Before he could say a word the stranger touched his forehead and Cas thought he heard something snap in his head… then searing pain spread through his skull… then nothing. Blackness swallowed him again.
The first thing Cas felt when he woke up was this strange emptiness in his stomach… his mouth felt dry and whispers surrounded him, but the more he tried to concentrate on them the more they evaded him. He tried to open his eyes, but the light seared his eyes and made his head swim. He didn't move, he used his other sense to figure out where he was.
The bed he was lying on was soft and a pillow lay behind his head. A blanket covered his body and kept him warm from the cool breeze that chilled his face… He heard light, steady breathing that must be Crystal sleeping beside him, her breath echoed around the room. This room must be small… or underground. A strange whooshing noise sounded from high above him. It sounded almost like a fan… he sighed and listened harder. That's when he heard the voices from outside whatever room he was in.
"Humans are funny…" he hears a British voice say quietly. "He put up a mental block so strong it stopped all the voices, and made him forget everything-"
Cas heard Dean's voice interrupt the British guy's voice. "So when he fell-"
This time Cas interrupted him. "I didn't fall." The noise of his voice sent needles of pain through his head. He remembered everything about his old life. And everything that had happened that caused it to end.
The voices suddenly stopped and a second later Cas heard the door open and the five different footsteps of Bobby, Dean, Sam, Balthazar, and Anna pounded into the room. Cas opened his eyes and sat up, ignoring the nausea that filled him. "Balthazar what did you do to me?" he asked almost under his breath.
"Your memories are probably hitting you like a runaway train right now… it'll pass. Probably." Balthazar said quietly.
Cas smiled, knowing that this was meant to be a joke, Sam and Dean looked at Balthazar shocked for a moment before Dean said, "Cas… do you remember now?"
Cas nodded and said, "I do Dean. And I didn't fall… I died. I felt like I was floating and suddenly I was surrounded by a bright white light. A voice said, 'I still have plans for you Castiel… this is only the beginning.' Then I was falling through the sky…" Cas looked between the shocked people in the room.
Dean spoke first, "So… You mean…"
Cas sighed and said, "It wasn't me… God saved me."
Sorry for the shortness… but it's ok because this is an awesome place to stop! ^.^
