Chapter 19: Cassy Vs Heaven

I sat in the Impala beside Dean as we dropped off Aaron letting him know everything would be alright, Dean was quiet as if lost in thought. I looked over at him for a moment, he looked tired with worry like a weight was surrounding him and he couldn't hold it in.

"Dean…" I said quietly seeing a slight twitch of his hand on the wheel saying, "You know I'm here if you need to talk, it's clear something is bothering you."

I kept my eyes on his face seeing it twist in confliction until he let out a light sigh saying, "Does Sammy seem different to you?"

"A little if I'm to be honest." I said while his eyes turned to me saying, "Castiel doesn't seem to think so."

I laughed replying, "Dean I'm a demon I'm not gonna sugar coat it for you like he does, something is off but I honestly can't tell you what it is. I've been in the dark like you have this last year, I don't know what's been happening lately but I know this, with you guys, is where I want to be regardless of how emo your brother is."

He let out a little laugh saying, "Your boy toy boss leaving you in the dark?"

I huffed lightly looking out the window saying, "He is keeping his secrets yes, I've been tasked with finding information and presenting it, I'm a glorified Sammy boy."

"What is he having you research?" he asked while I shrugged replying, "He's the new king of Hell I can only assume he's upscaling as any businessman would. His main focus has been Alpha creatures but to be honest I think he's just trying to keep me busy."

"Why would he try to keep you busy?" Dean said turning his head to me while I shrugged replying, "I'm honestly not sure but I have a feeling it's something big and not in a good kind of way."

Once we made it back to another abandoned house I walked inside seeing Sam was finishing up with the tracking spell giving us a sideways glance. Suddenly the sound of wings beside me turned my attention to see Castiel standing seeming to be unfazed. Dean was angry, angry at being left in the dark and angry as to what Castiel had been up to.

Castiel explained that he and Raphael were at war, Raphael planned to get the apocalypse going again while Castiel and his followers were trying to prevent it. I understood why he didn't want to talk about it to Dean and me, he had been trying to protect us but it seemed no matter what we were always dragged back into the fray. The only difference between Dean and I though was that I quite enjoyed it and thrived in the chaos of it all.

Once we found Balthazar's location we teleported outside a lavish mansion making our way inside quietly seeing whoever this angel was he liked to lavish himself in everything expensive. We walked through the main part of the mansion seeing a man sitting beside a piano, his posture was quite relaxed as he eyed us almost lazily.

"Castiel, I was wondering when you'd show up." He said hearing his light accent giving Castiel a small smirk.

"Balthazar, why are you corrupting humans with the weapons of heaven?" Castiel asked seeing him laugh replying, "Well because I could obviously, you see Castiel you've inspired some of us to embrace free will and this is what I choose to do with it."

"Well, that's a stupid reason." I said bluntly seeing him turn his eyes towards me replying, "My, aren't you a delicious little demon, Castiel I'm surprised in you."

Castiel looked at me for a moment replying, "Evelyn is my friend and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty."

I gave a light wink seeing him laugh for a moment looking behind us replying, "Well that's all good and well but I suggest you take care of the angels that followed you first."

Looking over at the brothers I sighed walking towards the door saying, "Another day in the life of the Winchester's demon wonder."

Once outside we saw Raphael and a few other men as his eyes came right to me feeling my body tense up for a moment.

"Castiel, you are so insistent on stopping our plans yet you ally yourself with a demon?" Raphael said in a cold tone making me glare feeling the angel blade Castiel had gifted me falling into my hand under my sleeve.

"What I do is none of your business, at least she's rational enough not to want Lucifer to rise once again." Castiel said seeing Raphael laugh replying, "By the time we are done with your human friends and demon whore you'll beg for mercy."

Castiel lunged at Raphael while his followers came for us seeing one try to bring the angel blade down into my chest but I blocked it with my own saying, "Sorry mine is bigger."

I kicked him between the legs watching him momentarily groan in pain as I swung around him stabbing him through the back watching him fall to the ground. I turned to Dean and Sam seeing they were both clearly overpowering the other angels as my gaze turned to Castiel who seemed clearly outmatched by Raphael.

I saw a rock on the ground picking it up chucking it watching as it hit him in the back of the head saying, "Hey assbutt leave him alone."

He tossed Castiel to the side turning towards me seeing the anger in his eyes making me involuntarily squeak as he came at me quick as a flash punching me in the face sending me flying into the pool. I grunted as my head breached the surface gasping for air feeling him grab me by my hair flinging me out of the pool as I was tossed across the lawn. He pressed down on my throat with his foot as I tried to get the pressure off but he was much stronger than me.

"Leave her alone, your fight is with me." Castiel said standing up on shaky legs making Raphael laugh releasing the pressure saying, "You've grown soft for this pathetic creature, you are not strong enough to kill me."

I saw the pain pass over Castiel as he looked down at me for a moment but took his angel blade out regardless, ready to fight once again. I watched helplessly as Castiel was thrown around until Balthazar came outside with a crystal watching Raphael's vessel cripple to salt before dispersing as Dean came over helping me up.

Balthazar looked around at all of us giving a light laugh saying, "Well that sure was exciting."
