Chapter Twenty Six- Overemotional

Hey! Hope you all enjoy this one! Sorry it's a bit short!

A little while later my cell started to vibrate on the wooden table. I lowered the book I was reading, it was on Enochian and after two hours I was only on chapter two. And it was a pretty thick tome too. Zach was lounging on the couch. I wasn't paying attention to what he was doing and I wasn't all that bothered. The rosary was being unresponsive. The heat was still there but just distant. I guessed that Cas was busy on his little mission, maybe he was trying to stop Uriel destroying an entire town.

"Are you going to answer that annoying piece of crap?" he turned and asked me clearly irate. He didn't take too well to being tricked. Especially by something he considered a lower life form. This dude was getting way too annoying for my liking.

I scowled at the angel and picked up the cell in my hand. I glanced half-heartedly at the caller-id, 'Dean'. The piece of technology continued its little dance in my hand. I finally put it out of its misery and answered, "Hey"

"Rox?" Dean's voice sounded relieved and strained. I could hear people talking in the background. Sam, Ruby and…someone else. Something else.

"Yeah" I gulped, "what's wrong?"

There was a sharp pause, "You sittin' down?"

Zach peaked over at me.

"Get out" I told him, when he had fluttered away, I answered cautiously, "Yes…"

"Right well erm…" he couldn't get the words out.

"Dean" I growled down the line, "tell me"

He took a deep breath, "we were finding that girl, Anna Milton. And erm Alistair turned up. She's important to the demons and then…"

I waited for him to continue. If Alistair turned up that meant that this girl really was important to them.

"Cas and Uriel showed up" he paused, "they wanted to kill her"

I felt weak. The phone nearly slipped out of my hand. I knew their mission was something to do with the girl but I didn't know they were ordered to kill her! I had to struggle to find any words, "What umm, what happened?"

"The girl knew some angel mumbo jumbo, they just disappeared" he changed the subject, "who were you tellin' to get out?"

They disappeared? That explained why the rosary wasn't so strong.

"Zachariah" was all I said at first, "another angel, biggest ass I've ever known. He's taken over while Cas is away"

"So he left you?" he turned angry.

"Don't bother" I warned him, "I'll explain everything when I see you but don't tell Bobby"

"Huh" he knew why. If Bobby knew, he'd die of a heart attack then take down Cas the next time he was in heaven. Though it was a sight I wouldn't have minded seeing it was still best avoided, "we need to come to the house"

"What? Why?" I asked partially still out of it because of the information he had just given me.

"The panic room, at least until we figure out what to do" he said solemnly.

I asked, "but the panic room won't keep angels out"

"That's why we need to be quick" I heard Ruby's voice in the back ground. I had forgotten how charming the little bitch could be.

"I'll work on gettin' douche bag out of here" I said through clenched teeth.

We hung up.

By three o'clock I was walking around the kitchen. Pacing up and down. I didn't know when the guys were going to get here but it was probably going to be before dark. That gave me two hours. Plus a rather large portion of my mind was still fixed on Cas. Was he okay? Where was he? When would he get back?

Zach eyed me warily, "you never did explain what Dean wanted"

"Huh?" I looked up from my shoes, "oh nothing, just checkin' in. Apparently Alistair showed up"

What I would've normally said would have been 'it's none of your damn business, go stop the freakin' apocalypse'. But I needed to think of a plan. How could I get him out of here without him being suspicious? I eyed the salt lines nearby. What good would it do anyway? I'd just get abducted again. The angel's probably wouldn't be able to drag me out again either.

"You hate this don't you?" I asked abruptly. I decided to wing it. Completely wing it.

He looked at me, "I can't say it's the most exciting thing I've ever done in my entirety of existence"

I smiled sheepishly, "I can't blame you for hating it. Can't blame you if you hate me, hate humanity…"

"My opinion isn't very high" he told me offhandedly.

I nodded. My arms were folded across my chest, my head coming forward. It gave me a despairing and desperate look, "Neither is mine. I mean come on. Humanity is just basically a group of dirty, corrupt, emotional, greedy self-loathing monkey's that have figured out how to walk on two feet. I'm exactly the same, no matter what the rumors are. Demons are better than us."

He seemed a taken back, "well I erm…don't mix with either when I don't have to"

He's scared to commit blasphemy. I knew his weakness. How could I make this help me?

I slumped into the chair and looked him in the eye, "how many people are in your family?"

"Hundreds, thousands" he sighed obviously not interested in this topic of conversation, "I lose count"

"You're lucky like that" I smiled weakly, "mine's never been very big and…they've always been taken away"

A fake sob started to rise in my throat.

"Sometimes, it's just so hard to carry on" I started, "I never get any time alone…with Cas he's always there, and then Bobby's always around. Those few moments today were the only time I didn't have something with wings hovering over me" I wondered if he knew where I was going with this, "do…do you think you could give me a day? On my own? Before everyone gets back…no one has to know"

He swallowed, "ah..erm…"

He was clearly uncomfortable with having me on the verge of tears. He wanted to leave. But would he?

"Please" I begged with my eyes stained with tears and grabbed his hand, "I just…I just want to be alone for a while"

He pulled back disgusted but tried to turn it into a move that involved him standing up, "I guess I can do it, just this once…as long as you don't leave"

I smiled gratefully, "I won't! I won't leave on my own! I sweat it!"

His face was still crumpled in barely hidden disgust, "I'll see you this time tomorrow"

He disappeared with a flutter. The smile on my face was real. I wiped away the tears currently snaking their way down my cheeks and waited patiently for the brothers to return. While I waited I kept thinking about Castiel and I vaguely wondered if he was thinking of me too.
