Chapter 12: Missing

Oh, something's missing in me

I felt it deep within me

As lovers left me to bleed alone

-Flyleaf


Elsa sat with Bobby in his studies. He had talked to Sam the night before about him jumping into the pit with Lucifer.

"Are you idjits trying to kill me?!" Bobby had shouted at Sam over the phone.

After hearing Sam's plan to jump in the pit, Elsa felt like he was planning this because of her. He was thinking this because she didn't love him the way she loved Castiel.

"I think I know why he's planning that," Elsa told Bobby after he finished talking to Sam.

"Why?" Bobby asked.

"Because I love Cas," Elsa confessed. "Sam is upset that I don't love him the way I love Cas. He wants to jump in the pit because of me."

Elsa was in tears as she said those words. Bobby rolled up next to her and hugged her. Every time she would cry, he would hugged her to calm her down. He did this ever since she was a child. This would help her from time to time.

"Now, I think Sam is thinking this way because there is no other way to stop Armageddon from happening," Bobby told her. "Just because you don't have your heart pointed to Sam, doesn't mean he's doing this because of a broke heart. Sam has to face that he has to let you go. Don't blame yourself, darlin'."

Elsa smiled. "Thanks Bobby."

After that talk Elsa went and melted some angel blades to make her arrows. As the arrows cooled down, she was thinking about Castiel. She hadn't heard from him in a week. She was scared of the worst,which would break her heart. She wouldn't be able to live without him.

As she watched the angel steel arrow colder itself, she remember when Castiel and her kissed. Her lips trembled as she had that memory in her head. She could still see, his blue eyes staring at her as he pressed his lips roughly against her soft, red lips. Her arms around his neck as he had his arms around her waist. Her heart beating rapidly, full of passion.

But it was her imagination. He really wasn't with her. He was gone. No one knew where he was. Her heart was broken without Castiel. She wished where ever he was he was okay and was thinking about her.


Elsa walked up stairs to see Bobby on the phone with Rufus. She smiled as she walked to sit on the cot.

"Yea, I followed up," Bobby said

"Nasty omens, but none of it's death with a capital 'd.' Well, just give me a ring if it turns into anything. And, Rufus...You watch your ass out there."

Bobby hung up and looked worried.

"Rufus will be fine, Bobby," Elsa said. "He's tough and hasn't died yet."

"Chin up, Cavalry's arrived," a man with British accent said.

Elsa and Bobby turn to see a man in a suit standing in front of them. Elsa stood up as Bobby cocked his gun towards him. Elsa smelled the odor of a demon.

"Charming, that won't work on me," the demon said.. "Name's Crowley. Maybe you've..."

"You're Crowley?" Elsa asked.

"In the flesh -of a moderately successful Literary Agent out of New York," Crowley answered at her with an evil smirk as he walked up to her. "You must be Elsa." Crowley gently pressed his lips on her the top of her hand. "It's a pleasure to met you and might I say, you're even beautiful in the flesh."

Bobby pulled the trigger, shooting at Crowley avoiding he tried any to Elsa. She smiled because Bobby was acting like a protective father.

"Aah! I see you have heard of me," Crowley said. "I liked this suit."

"What are you doing here?" Bobby asked.

"Looking out for Crowley," Crowley answered.

"Meaning...?" Elsa asked.

"The boys are on to ring number 3, but we still need number 4," Crowley said. "I'm here to help."

"You know where death is?" Bobby asked.

"No," Crowley answered. "Haven't the foggiest."

"Well, then get the hell off my property before I blast you so full of rock salt, you crap margaritas," Bobby said as he aim the shotgun at Crowley.

"That's a mite unfriendly, seeing as I could be getting you death's location in about the time it'd take you to reload," Crowley said.

"You're just gonna chat some demons up and hope they don't recognize you?" Bobby asked.

"God, no. That could get me killed," Crowley answered. "But there is this little spell that I know."

"That so?" Bobby asked sarcastically.

"Results are 100% guaranteed," Crowley answered.

"Okay, then why are you snake-oiling us?" Bobby asked.

"Well, it's a little bit...Embarrassing," Crowley said with a smiled."There's this...Technicality."

"Uh-huh," Elsa said as she crossed her arms.

" I need a little something to get the magic going," Crowley answered.

"And what's that?" Bobby asked.

"You make a wish," Crowley answered Bobby. "I can give you anything you want, mate - Up to and including death's coordinates. All I need is..."

"My soul," Bobby answered.

"Hell no!" Elsa protested.

"I've done more with less," Crowley said. "Let's just say when they're getting their Grammys, they shouldn't all be thanking God. It's worth it, Bobby. Think."

"Okay. Here's my counter," Bobby said as he shot Crowley with the shotgun.

"Ow! Bloody hell! Feisty," Crowley growled.

"Well, you shot is better than what I would have done," Elsa said. "Get out!"

"I'll give it right back," Crowley said to Bobby.

"You think I'm a natural-born idjit?" Bobby asked.

"Quite the contrary," Crowley said.

"Look, you're right to be suspicious. But I'm your ally. Enemy of my enemy and all that. I need the devil back in his stock. In fact, my delicate ass depends on it. I promise you -temporary loan. I'll give it...Right...Back."

Elsa looked at Bobby, who was thinking about this deal.

"You're not serious about this?" Elsa asked.

"Well, do you have any ideas?" Bobby asked.

"I can possibly think of one, that doesn't involve giving your soul to a demon," Elsa answered pointing to Crowley.

"Take your time, darlin," Crowley said. "And while you plan, think about the devil and what he's doing."

Elsa glared at Crowley, but he had a point. They had not other choice. They needed to get their hands on Death's ring even if it means giving up Bobby's soul. But she knew a demon couldn't be trusted, so she had to keep a close eye on this Crowley.

"Temporary?" Elsa asked Crowley.

"Yes, of course," Crowley answered. "I'll give his soul back after the devil is dealt with."

Bobby rolled up to Crowley. He didn't like the though of his soul in the hands of a demon, but if it meant getting Death's ring and stop Lucifer, it's worth it.

"Let's get this over with," Bobby said.

"Right, you know how a deal is made with a demon, right?" Crowley asked.

"With a kiss," Bobby answered.

Crowley smirked evilly. Bobby sighed and nodded. Crowley bent down to reach Bobby's lips. Bobby closed his eyes and pressed his lips on Crowley. Elsa covered her mouth with her hand. She didn't know whether to gag or laugh at this. Crowley took out his phone and snapped a picture of the kiss. The demon and the drunk's lips separated. The deal was made.


The next morning Dean and Sam came back. Bobby begged Elsa not to tell them about the deal that was made with Crowley. Dean was upset about Sam's plan to jump in the pit. Telling him about the deal would possibly make him go insane.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Dean asked Sam.

"Dean..." Sam said his name.

"...no, don't 'Dean' me," Dean growled. "I mean, you - you have had some stupid ideas in the past. But this."

Dean turned his attention to Elsa and Bobby. "D-Did you know about this?"

"What?" Elsa asked.

"About Sam's genius plan to cram the devil down his throat," Dean answered.

Elsa and Bobby nodded. "Yes, sadly," Elsa answered.

"Well, thanks for the heads up!" Dean sarcastically said.

"Hey, this ain't about me," Bobby said.

"You can't do this," Dean said to Sam.

"That's the consensus," Sam said.

"All right. Awesome," Dean said.

"Then, end of discussion".

Suddenly Dean's phone started to ring. "This isn't over," Dean said before he picked up the phone. "Hello?"

Everyone watched and waited to see who it was. Dean's eyes widen.

"Cas?" Dean said his name.

Elsa turned her attention to Dean as he called Castiel. Her angel was alive. Her heart had skipped a beat as she heard his name.

"Is he okay?" Elsa asked Dean softly.

"We all thought you were Dead,"

Dean said. "Where the hell are you, man?"

Elsa walked up to Dean with her eyes pleading to speak with him. Dean slightly nodded.

"Cas, Elsa wants to speak to you," Dean said before he passed Elsa the phone. Elsa immediately grabbed to phone and placed it on her ear.

"Cas?" Elsa said his name.

"Elsa?" Castiel said her name relieved.

Tears rolled down her cheek. "Cas, are you okay?" Elsa asked.

"No," Castiel answered.

"What happen?" Elsa asked worried.

" I just woke up in a hospital," Castiel told her. "The doctors were fairly surprised. They thought I was brain-dead."

"How did you get yourself in a hospital?" Elsa asked.

"Apparently, after Van Nuys, I suddenly appeared, bloody and unconscious, on a shrimping boat off Delacroix," Castiel answered."I'm told it upset the sailors."

"Well, I'm just glad you're alive," Elsa said. "Now, zap yourself here."

"I can't 'zap' anywhere," Castiel answered.

"What do you mean?" Elsa asked worried.

"You could say my batteries are -are drained," Castiel answered.

"So you can't zap here because you have no angel mojo?" Elsa asked.

"I'm saying that I am thirsty and my head aches," Castiel said. "I have a bug bite that itches no matter how much I scratch it, and I'm saying that I'm just incredibly..."

"Human," Elsa finished. "Wow, sorry."

"Well, my point is - I can't go anywhere without money for...an airplane ride," Castiel said. "And food. And more pain medication, ideally."

"I'll go an get you," Elsa said.

"No, the Winchesters need you," Castiel said.

"I need you," Elsa added. "I want to see you Cas."

"I know and you will, I promise," Castiel told her. "Stay with Sam and Dean, for me."

"Fine," Elsa said. "I'm passing you to Dean now. Cas...I love you."

"I love you too," Castiel said before Elsa passed the phone to Dean.

"All right. Well, look, no worries," Dean said to Castiel on the phone.

"Uh, Bobby's here. He'll wire you the cash."

"I will?" Bobby asked confused.

"Cas...I-it's okay," Dean said. There was a silence for a second. Dean expressions looked like he was confused as he narrowed his green eyes.

"Thank you. I appreciate that," Dean said before he hung up.


Elsa, Sam and Dean got inside the Impala. They were heading to a nursing home where Pestilence was said to be. Sam and Dean knew Pestilence would use his powers against them, but he won't be able to use them against Elsa. They had an advantage with them.

"Be careful," Bobby told them before they drove off.

They got to the nursing home during night. They stood outside of the Impala from a distance of the home.

"So this is Dr. Evil's lair, huh?" Dean asked sarcastically as he looked through his binoculars.

"It's kind of more depressing than evil," Sam said.

"It's like a four-color brochure for dying young," Dean added. "Of course, to Pestilence, it's probably Dollywood in there."

"That's sick," Elsa said.

"Well, he is sick," Dean added.

"Great. A whole building full of people," Sam said. "We don't know who's human, who's demon, and who's pestilence. So what do we do?"

"Hang on," Dean said as he looked through his binoculars.

The guards that were in the front of the building left they're post. The three hunters swiftly snuck into the building. Elsa was tracking Pestilence with the odor of sickness and death he left in the halls of the nursing home.

As the walked in, the saw a security guard in the hallway.

"I got this," Dean whisper to them.

Elsa and Sam watched as Dean walked up to the security guard as they hid behind a corner.

"Hey. Hi. Uh, I'm looking for my Nana," Dean easily lied. "Uh, her name is Eunice Kennedy."

"Go around front and see the nurse," the guard told Dean.

"You mind just helping me out, sir?" Dean asked. "Uh, she's about, uh, about that small and gray hair, wears diapers."

Dean's fist made contact with the guard's face. The guard fell in the ground out cold. Elsa and Sam appeared round the corner.

"Eunice Kennedy?" Elsa asked.

"That's the beauty about improv, Elsa . "You never know what's gonna come out of your mouth."

"So, what are ..." Sam started saying until he notices Dean falling asleep. "Hey! What are we even looking for?"

"Well, he's Pestilence, so he probably looks sick," Dean answered.

"Everybody looks sick," Sam answered pointing to the distortion on the monitor. "Hey!"

"Oh, now we're talking," Dean said.

"This is great," Elsa said before she got a the smell of Pestilence's odor. "Come on, I know where he is."

The three hunter walked down the hall and round a corner. They saw two bodies dead on the ground. They were close to the room that Pestilence was , Sam started coughing up blood.

"Sam!" Elsa shouted.

"Ugh...Must be getting close," Sam said.

"You think?" Dean asked before he started to sink to the floor.

"Dean?" Sam and Elsa called. Sam tried to help Dean , but stumbles and Dean falls to the floor.

"Get up," Elsa begged.

Elsa, suddenly was thrown to the wall. Her back slammed against the wall, causing her to stumble to the floor. She groaned loudly in pain.

"The doctor will see you now," a black eyes nurse said.

A man with a doctor's coat and glasses opened the door for them. Pestilence.

"Sam,Dean and Elsa," Pestilence said.

Sam held his knife up, but then keels over and falls to the floor.

"Come right in," Pestilence said. "Um nurse, can you secure the girl? But be careful with her."

The nurse nodded and walked up to Elsa's body. Elsa tried to get up, but the demon pushed her down to the ground. She held a part of cuffs in her hands and pinned Elsa down. She cuffed her hands together and dragged her in front of Pestilence, who was smirking.

"I'll wipe that smirk of your face, once I'm out of theses cuffs," Elsa growled.

"I liked to see you try, mutt" Pestilence told her.

"I will, just wait you sick bastard," Elsa snapped.

Pestilence ignored her and turned his attention to Sam and Dean.

"Hmm...You boys don't look well,"Pestilence said. "It might be the, uh, Scarlet fever. Or, uh, the meningitis. Oh! Or the syphilis. That's no fun. However you feel right now? It's gonna get so very, very much worse. Questions? Disease gets a bad rap, don't you think? For being filthy. Chaotic. Uh, but, really, t-that just describes people who get sick. Disease itself...Very...Pure...Single-minded. Bacteria have one purpose -divide and conquer."

Dean tried to reach Sam's knife, but Pestilence slammed his foot on his hand.

"That's why, in the end...It always wins," Pestilence continued. "So, you've got to wonder why God pours all his love into something so messy...And 's ridiculous. All I can do is show him he's wrong, one epidemic at a time. Now... On a scale of 1 to 10, how's your pain?"

Suddenly, Castiel bursted into the room.

"Cas!" Elsa shouted with enthusiasm.

"How'd you get here?" Pestilence asked.

"I took a bus", Castiel answered. "Don't worry, I-"

Castiel fell to the floor, coughing. Elsa struggled against the hand cuffs.

"Well, look at that," Pestilence said. "An occupied vessel, but powerless. Oh, that's fascinating. There's not a speck of angel in you, is there?"

Castiel used the little strength he hand and cut the ring off of Pestilence's finger with Sam's knife.

"Maybe just a speck," Castiel responded.

"It doesn't matter. It's too late," Pestilence said before he disappeared.

Sam and Dean stood up, with no problem. Castiel rushed over to Elsa, who had managed to unlock her hand cuffs and stand up. She wrapped her arms around Castiel.

"I've missed you," she whispered in his ears.

"I'm here now," Castiel told her.

Elsa smiled and looked at Sam and Dean. Sam was with a disappointed look and Dean grabbed the ring.

"3 down, I to go," Dean said.


The four of them were in Bobby's studies looking at the horsemen's ring. They had 3 now and all that was left was Death's ring. Elsa stood next to Castiel, Dean sat in and chair while Sam leaned against the table.

"Well, it's nice to actually score a home run for once, ain't it?" Bobby joked. Everyone gave him the sink eye. "What?"

"Last thing Pestilence said. 'it's too late,'" Sam said.

"He get specific?" Bobby asked.

"No," Elsa answered.

"We're just a little freaked out that he might have left a bomb somewhere," Dean said. "So please tell us you have actual good news."

"Chicago's about to be wiped off the map," Bobby answered. "Storm of the millennium. Sets off a daisy chain of natural disasters. Three million people are gonna die."

"I don't understand your definition of good news," Castiel said confused.

"He's being sarcastic," Elsa told him.

"Well...Death, the horseman - he's gonna be there," Bobby said. "And if we can stop him before he kick-starts this storm, get his ring back-."

"Yeah, you make it sound so easy," Dean said annoyed.

"Hell, I'm just trying to put a spin on it," Bobby said.

"Plus, it's all we've got," Elsa added.

"Well...Bobby, h-how'd you put all this together, anyways?" Sam asked.

Bobby glanced at Elsa. They didn't want to tell the boys Bobby sold his soul to Crowley. Bobby gave her the 'you better not say a word' look.

"I had, you know...Help," Bobby said.

"Don't be so modest," Crowley said as he appeared in the room. "I barely helped at all. Hello, boys. Pleasure, et cetera. Go ahead. Tell them. There's no shame in it."

"Shut up, Crowley!" Elsa shouted.

"I think the boys need to know the information they need," Crowley said. "All I'm doing is helping love."

Castiel grabbed Elsa's arm, before she tried to attack Crowley. He wanted to let Elsa do it, but this wasn't the time for it.

"Bobby? Tell us what?" Sam asked.

Bobby didn't want to say it. Just thinking about it was hard for him.

"He made a deal," Elsa answered harshly.

"World's gonna end," Bobby said. "Seems stupid to get all precious over one little...Soul."

"You sold your soul?" Dean asked angrily.

"Oh, more like pawned it", Crowley added. "I fully intend to give it back."

"Well, then give it back!" Dean demanded.

"I will," Crowley answered.

"Now!" Dean demanded.

"Did you kiss him?" Sam asked.

"Sam!" Dean shouted.

"Just wondering," Sam answered.

Their was a silence in the room all eyes were on Bobby.

"No!" Bobby answered.

"Liar," Elsa said to herself, which Castiel heard causing him to smile.

Crowley takes out his phone which has a picture of him and Bobby kissing on it. Sam and Dean narrowed they're eyes to see the picture. Elsa was covering her mouth to avoid laughing.

"Why'd you take a picture?" Bobby asked annoyed.

"Why do you have to use tongue?" Crowley asked as he put his phone away.

Sam and Dean turned their attention to Bobby. He turned to Elsa. "Did you know that he took a picture?" Bobby asked.

"Maybe," Elsa answered trying to hide the smile.

"All right", Dean said. "You know what? I'm sick of this. Give him his soul back now."

"I'm sorry. I can't," Crowley answered.

"Can't or won't?" Dean asked angrily.

"I won't, all right?" Crowley said. "It's insurance."

"What are you talking about?" Elsa asked.

"You kill demons," Crowley said. "Gigantor over there has a temper issue about it. But you won't kill me... As long as I have that soul in the deposit box."

"You son of a bitch," Bobby said.

"I'll return it," Crowley said. "After all this is over, and I can walk safely away. Do we all understand each other?"

Elsa walked up to Crowley and pinned him against the wall. She pulled out Sam's knife that she stole off of and held the knife at his throat. Her eyes showed the rage she had as she met Crowley's eyes.

"Now listen to me, you monster," Elsa growled at him. "Sam, isn't the one you should be afraid of. It's me you should be more afraid of. I will rip your throat out if you don't give Bobby his soul back after this is over. If you don't give his soul back, you better find a good hiding space, because I will hunt you down and once I find you, you're going to wish you never left Hell."

Crowley smirked. "You're feisty, love," Crowley told her. "I find that attractive in a women."

Before Elsa got the chance to press the knife at Crowley throat, Dean pulled her off him.

"That's enough, Elsa!" Dean shouted. "Don't make things worst."

Elsa stomped away from the area and to Bobby's scrap yard. She leaned against one of the busted up black cars. She knew a demon couldn't be trusted. She wished she could just run away from all that was going on, but she couldn't leave Castiel. He's the only thing holding her back.

"Running away won't help,"a voice said. Elsa looked up and saw Castiel in front of her. "Believe me, I've tried." She slightly smiled as she met his eyes.

"I depends on what you're running from," Elsa added.

Castiel leaned against the car by her side.

"I've been running away since I was 16, never had any problems until now," Elsa said. "Now, I know a bit about my mother from Gabriel, before he died."

"Gabriel is dead?" Castiel asked.

"Lucifer killed him," Elsa added. "I tried to stop him, but he injured me and kill Gabriel. But before Gabriel died he told me about my mother, Arya."

"I knew her," Castiel told her. "You look just like her."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Elsa asked.

"I wasn't certain, you were her daughter," Castiel said. "I know now you are. Whenever you want, I'll tell you what you want."

Elsa stood in front of Castiel. She met his blue eyes. "You left me," Elsa said. "I worried for days and days."

"I'm sorry," Castiel apologized. "I did something to save Adam, but we didn't save Adam did we?"

"No, the door closed locking Adam inside," Elsa answered. "Dean managed to kill Zachariah, but we didn't save Adam. But that's not the point! Cas, I needed you. I missed you. I worried that the worst had happen and I won't be able to forgive myself if..."

Castiel pressed his lips roughly agains her soft lips. Elsa was taken by surprised, but allow him to enter her mouth. He pinned her against the car they leaned against. She let her finger spread out on his back. He brought her body close to his. He placed his hands under her white shirt to feel her soft skin. They took a breath against each other before Castiel

Elsa separated her lips from Castiel's lips. She had a smiled on her face as she laid herself on the hood of the car. Castiel place his hands between Elsa's head as he bent down to press his body on hers. He pressed his lips on her, once again. Elsa spread her fingers all over his back. Castiel press his lips on Elsa's neck at one point, which made Elsa giggle. Elsa clenched her fingers on Castiel's trench coat as he roughly pressed his lips were pressed against her.

"Elsa!" a voice called her name.

Castiel and Elsa's lips separated and turned their attention to Dean, who was standing there. Elsa's cheeks blushed with embarrassment.

"It's the end of the world and you two are making out," Dean said annoyed. "Come on we have work to deal with. After this is all over you two can get back to what you were doing. Maybe I might watch."

"Eww, Dean," Elsa said.

"Now, come on, you have to stop the Croatoan virus from spreading," Dean said.


The night came quickly. Castiel, Elsa and Bobby preparing they're shot guns. They knew where the virus was heading, so they had to get ready.

Elsa was passing the guns to Bobby. She notice Castiel's expressions as he leaned against the van with a shotgun in his hands.

"What's your problem?" Bobby asked.

"This is what they mean by 'the 11th hour,' right?" Castiel asked.

"Pretty much," Bobby answered.

"Well, it's the 11th hour, and I am useless," Castiel said.

"No, you aren't," Elsa told him.

"All I have is this," Castiel said as he waved the shotgun. "What am I even supposed to do with it?

"Point it and shoot," Elsa answered.

"What I used to be -" Castiel said.

"Are you really gonna bitch -to us?" Bobby asked annoyed. "Quit pining for the varsity years...And load the damn truck." Bobby threw the duffle bag at Castiel.

"That was harsh," Elsa told Bobby.

Castiel sighed and help loaded everything in the truck.

"You're not useless Cas," Elsa said.

"I am, Elsa," Castiel said. "I'm not like Sam and Dean. I'm not like you."

"And?" Elsa questioned him. "I may not know how you were before I met you, but now you've been a great help. You've helped us with everything."

Castiel smiled and continued to load the truck. Sam and Dean came by to part ways. Dean was going to find Death with Crowley.

"All right, well...Good luck stopping the whole zombie apocalypse," Dean told them.

"Yeah. Good luck killing Death," Sam said.

"I doubt you can cheat Death," Elsa said.

"Yeah," Dean answered.

"Remember when we used to just...hunt wendigos?" Sam asked. "How simple things were?"

"Not really", Dean answered

"Well, um..." Sam said as he pulled out his's knife."...You might need this."

"Keep it," Crowley said as he appeared in front of them. He handed Dean a small scythe. "Dean's covered. Death's own. Kills, golly, demons and angels and reapers and, rumor has it, the very thing itself."

"How did you get that?" Castiel asked.

"Hello, king of the crossroads," Crowley said. "So, shall we? Bobby, you just gonna sit there?"

"No, I'm gonna riverdance," Bobby answered sarcastically.

"I suppose if you want to impress the ladies," Crowley responded."Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. Really wasted that crossroads deal. Fact - you get more if you phrase it properly. So, I took the liberty of adding a teeny little sub-a clause on your behalf. What can I say? I'm an altruist. Just gonna sit there?"

Bobby pushed himself up of the wheelchair. Elsa stood next to him, just in case he would fall, but he didn't. He stood on his two legs, without a problem. Elsa gasp with shock and looked over to Crowley.

"Son of a bitch," Bobby said with relief.

"Yes, I know. Completely worth your soul. I'm a hell of a guy," Crowley cockily said.

"Thanks," Bobby said.

"This is getting maudlin. Can we go?" Crowley asked.

Sam, Castiel and Bobby went into the truck. Before Dean and Crowley left, Elsa grabbed Crowley's arm. He turned to face her blue glare.

"If you betrayal Dean and leave him to die and escape without giving Bobby's soul back, I'll kill you," Elsa threaten.

Crowley only smirked evilly. "My, my kitty, you are feisty which I like about you," Crowley said. "Should I call you kitty or wolfy? You pick."

Elsa let go of his arm and jumped into the van and watched as Crowley and Dean drove away in the Impala. Elsa sat next Castiel while Sam drove. It was quiet most of the ride. Sam was still upset about Elsa, but he realized that he had to push his feeling away.

"Sam has a plan to stop Lucifer," Elsa said to Castiel. "He plans on saying 'yes' and jumping into the pit."

"'Yes' to Lucifer," Castiel said "Then jump in the hole. It's an interesting plan."

"That's a word for it," Bobby commented.

"So? Go ahead and tell me it's the worst plan you ever heard," Sam said annoyed.

"Of course. I am happy to say that if that's what you want to hear," Castiel said. "But it's not what I think."

"Really?" Sam asked surprised.

"Really?" Elsa also added.

"You and Dean have a habit of exceeding my expectations"Castiel said. "He resisted Michael. Maybe you could resist Lucifer but there are things that you would need to know."

"Like?" Sam asked.

"Michael has found another vessel," Castiel answered.

"What?" Sam said in shock.

"It's your brother Adam", Castiel answered. "You must have considered it."

"We were trying not to", Sam responded.

"Sam...If you say yes to Lucifer and then fail...This fight will happen," Castiel said. "And the collateral... It'll be immense. There's also the demon blood."

"What? What are you talking about?" Sam asked.

"To take in Lucifer, it would be more than you've ever drunk," Castiel answered.

"But...Why?" Elsa asked.

"It strengthens the vessel. Keeps it from exploding," Castiel answered.

"But the guy he's in now -" Elsa said.

"He's drinking gallons," Castiel said.

" And how is that not the worst plan you ever heard?" Bobby asked.

"It's the only one we've got," Sam said.

"Or we can just push Lucifer in without Sam saying 'yes'" Elsa said.

"Possibly he know what we plan to do," Castiel said.

"Then I'll do it myself," Elsa added. "I'm not about to let Sam, become that monster's vessel."

"Well, it's not your decision, it's mine," Sam protested. "Let's leave it there."

No one said a word about the subject. All they were focused on was to stop the Croatoan virus from spreading. Elsa leaned against Castiel chest.

"I'm just trying to come up with a better plan," Elsa said.

"I know, but if Sam wants to do this, you have to let him," Castiel said.

"But this is worst than Dean saying 'yes' to Michael," Elsa said. "I just don't want to lose Sam, Cas."

Castiel eyes darted down to her's. He sighed. "We won't lose him, we'll get him back."

For the rest of the drive, no one said a word to each other.


They got to Niveus pharmaceuticals warehouse by morning. They stood a distance from it.

"Yup, they're loading up hotshots of Croatoan in the trucks," Bobby said. "Okay. First truck don't leave for an hour. We get in, we plant the c-4 every 25 feet, then we pull the fire alarm."

Then one of the trucks started driving out of the entrance of the warehouse.

"That truck is leaving," Castiel pointed out.

Bobby took one look again. "Balls! Okay, new plan."

"Well, hurry up with it," Elsa said.

"Okay, Cas stop that guy from leaving," Bobby said. "Sam, Elsa, we're going in the warehouse. Elsa you might want to go wolf now."

Elsa smiled and jumped out of the van. She felt her clothes slip off as she turned into her wolf. Sam and Bobby grabbed their guns and began to head to the warehouse with the she-wolf by their sides.

By the time they got to the warehouse, the main entrance was shut close. Elsa snorted with anger.

"Help!" voices screamed.

"Side door!" Bobby shouted.

The three of them made there way to the side door. The people kept screaming for 'help'.

"Get back!" Sam shouted. He points his gun at the lock of the door and let's out a shot. Bobby opened the door and people started running out.

"Go. Come on. Go," Bobby said as the people rushed out.

Elsa, Sam and Bobby made there way in when everyone was out. They heard a man begging for help and saw a group of people with red eyes tearing him apart like animals. People infected with the virus. The man stopped moving and the people look up at Sam, Elsa and Bobby. Elsa let out a growl while showing her fangs.

The people infected ran at them. Sam and Bobby started shooting at some of them, while Elsa lunged for the throat of one of them. They managed to kill the group, when more started coming. They heard more people screaming for "help".

"There's still people here," Sam said. He started to run towards the noise.

"Sam, no!" Bobby shouted.

"Wait here," Sam said as hands Bobby his knife and runs away.

"Damn," Bobby cursed. "Elsa, stay!"

Elsa obey the command given to her. She stayed next to Bobby as he aimed his gun for any other infected. Elsa sniffed the air and she sense another one coming behind them. Without hesitation, she turned around and lunged the infect man's throat killing him.

"Thanks, Elsa," Bobby said as Elsa went to Bobby's side.

But more came and they all had the same fate. Elsa managed to kill three of them as Bobby shot at them Sam came back with more warehouse employees

"Go! Go!" Bobby shouted.

"All clear", Sam said as everyone rushed out.

Suddenly a Croatoan infected man attacked Elsa, by jumping on her.

"Elsa!" Bobby shouted.

The infected man was holding the wolf down by her neck. She struggles hard, but the man held her down. Then a shot was fired and the man fell dead next to Elsa. She looked up to see Castiel with a shotgun in his hand.

"Actually, these things can be useful," Castiel said as he looked at the gun.

"Can we commit our act of domestic terrorism already? Let's go," Bobby said.

The four of them ran out of the warehouse and headed for the van. They drove off without anyone knowing what happen.


Elsa sat in Bobby's studies with Castiel in front of her. Dean managed to get Death's ring and now they had all four rings. Sam was sleeping in Bobby's bedroom.

"So this is it?" Elsa asked. "Now we fight the devil."

"I guess so," Castiel answered.

"We might not survive this war," Elsa said.

Castiel eyes darted towards her gaze. He didn't want to think that, he didn't want her to think that either. He stood up and walked around the table to her. He stood kneeled next to her.

"We will survive, don't think like that," Castiel said to her. "If we die, we will be together. If we live, I will always be with you."

Elsa placed her gentle hands on his. "You will always be here with me. No matter where I am. No matter if I'm a wolf or angel, I will always be yours."
