Chapter 1: Darkness
When classes run late in college, they could run till around midnight. That was the unfortunate event for Castiel Novak; a high honors student with a full ride to Yale. At 23 years old he is making A's in all his classes, met his soulmate that he will spend the rest of his life with, has the best family in all of the continental U.S. and is ready to start a life with the women he loves. Castiel was born with a silver spoon is his mouth. His mother and father were both top dogs up in the north, and were very wealthy. They paid for the highest educated tutors when either Cas or his brother had B's. Yes, there was the heaviest weight on Castiel shoulders, but he enjoys the pressure. He works off of it making him more skillful and responsible. He is always the leader, never the follower; And thats what Doctors have to be. They need to make quick, consolidated decisions every step of the way. Castiel was a perfectionist when it came to that.
He was driving down a narrow path in the woods, away from the city. Cas could just take the regular highway, and get home in a matter of 15 minutes, but he enjoyed the scenic route. That was just him being him. He was about 2 miles from the new classroom, that was miles from his school and farther away from his house was being held at, when his engine made a couple sounds, rattling, knocking and bursting. His eyes bulged. Not now... At this time of night? He wasn't too freaked about the couple mile walk back to the school. Castiel was a big runner, he ran at least 2 miles every morning, so walking a couple miles was no biggy. He gently pulled over in one of the graveled ditches. Grabbing all of his stuff and throwing it in his laptop bag, he opened his door and started to walk. He didn't even try to pop the hood, he didn't know one thing about cars. He barely knew which part was the engine, or if the whole thing was the engine.
Castiel rolled his eyes and checked out his surroundings. He needed to find his car tomorrow, so he took some mental pictures. The breeze shook him a little, winter was coming and he could really sense that. Winter was his favorite, mostly when him and Anna would snuggle up drinking hot cocoa by their fake fireplace and watching Christmas movies. He would kiss her head slightly and she would lean into him more. Love wasn't a large enough word for what they had, and nothing could ever break that connection.
Cas smiled at the memory and fidgeted with his buttons, trying to get them latched. One would never catch on to the counterpart. He believes it because the makers made the cloth to small. He walked a little further out in the street while fixing his coat, no longer 'paying attention to his surroundings'. Damn he curse aloud, the stupid button was getting frustrating. He was so focused in the thing to notice the lights shining bright on his face. He looked up and stood there in shock, like a deer in headlights. The lights got closer and closer, the yellow overpowering his vision and everything went white. Then came the darkness overpowered it. leaving nothing.
