Cold Cataclysm

Chapter 12: Heart Collapsing

The exact moment Dean sees Castiel… he dies inside.

It's like Cas is being ripped apart from his interior.

The blood… scars… the way his face seems to collapse in on itself.

He looks like a freaking zombie, his brother, his Cas.

Suddenly Dean doesn't remember anything, how it got to be this bad, how any of this couldn't be a dream.

And the way Cas looks at him, staring right through him, oblivious.

Cold, dead eyes.

Why would the angel do this to himself?

He doesn't get it… any of it.

Dean wonders if this is all his fault.
