Chapter 28: Under Our Scars

After I got an earful from Dean for telling Sam what really happened but making sure to argue it was actually Castiel's fault I gave the boys some space to get their feelings in order. I was never too far away though should they ever need me and Crowley also seemed to disappear too much to my appreciation. I just finished dispatching a few rouge angels huffing gently.

Lately the angels had been so far up my ass I was surprised I didn't have wings at this point knowing it was because of Castiel. I brushed my hands off stepping over the last body hearing wings behind me making me groan turning quickly but stopped realizing it was Castiel.

"Well better late than never I see." I said putting my weapon away as he inspected the bodies saying, "More followers of Raphael, it's a good thing I gave you that weapon."

"It's a good thing I didn't give it back is more like it." I said laughing while he remained quiet before saying, "I need your help."

My eyes widened for a moment looking at him surprised while I said, "Now you need my help?"

"I must get the weapons of Heaven back from Balthazar, this is very important." He said in a serious tone while I said, "Let me guess completely warded from angels?"

"Yes." He said while I walked over to him stopping just beside him seeing his blue eyes pierce into my skull making me want to jump him but I reframed he was right this was important.

"I can never say no to that pretty face." I said sighing sarcastically feeling him grip my hand transporting us to a new location.

It was a large factory and appeared to be completely uninhabitable and in the middle of nowhere as I looked around saying, "Where even is this?"

"Florida I believe." He said walking forward while I followed behind him quietly as he said, "Balthazar wanted it hidden far away from all the fighting."

"Should have picked Antarctica though happy he didn't." I said as he stopped at the door saying, "I cannot enter until the wards are removed."

"Sounds easy enough I said going to take a step but he stopped me saying, "I don't know what sort of traps our placed in here, be careful."

"Don't worry Cassy I'll be careful." I said giving him a little wink before walking past the threshold turning to look back but the door was gone making me groan looks like I was trapped.

I gripped the angel blade tightly making my way through the barren factory doing my best to mess up any angel proofing I found along the way. I hummed lightly to myself making my way through the compound knowing once I destroyed the last angel sigil Castiel would come in.

I stopped for a moment looking down as I saw my breath leave my lips frowning to myself, "Hey girl."

Aww crap.

I turned my head seeing Meg standing against one of the walls waving towards me as walked past her saying, "You're not real."

"In here probably not but in that messed up noggin of yours I sure am." She said following beside me while I sighed saying, "I don't feel guilty about killing you so if you're going to send me on a magical journey of forgiveness I'm going to have to pass."

She laughed saying, "Of course not silly goose you're just going to be visited by people you've killed from your worst nightmares. I'm honestly honored I'm here… just for kissing that angel woo you got it bad."

I growled shoving the angel blade into her stomach but it went right through hearing the clank of the wall behind her while she shook her head saying, "Yea not actually here remember?"

"Doesn't mean I don't want to stab at you again." I said turning away seeing another angel sigil destroying it, I only had the basement left.

"Why do you like him so much anyway, he's a bit of a stiff if you ask me… and so full of secrets I mean honestly do you really think he'd be wrong about Crowley's bones?" she said making me frown looking down the stairs.

She had a small point it was odd that Crowley was able to elude Castiel but I blamed it on his fight for heaven as I said, "He's been working hard and I don't know why I like him I just do, I'm not having a girl talk with you."

"To bad… cause I'm a breeze compared to what's down there, hope he goes easy on you." She said as I felt my body tense up saying, "He?"

Looking back at where Meg was standing I was met with cold empty air inhaling deeply before descending downwards into the unknown. The air was still down here as I crept slowly looking around the basement frowning when I saw a chest but it was covered in all sorts of traps making me sigh looking around.

"Evelyn darling… you look like a whore." I heard a dark sinister voice say making my body shake and a light whimper escape my lips knowing that voice.

I walked away from it desperately trying to find more sigils but the footsteps stayed beside me saying, "Evelyn dear… look at me when I talk to you!"

I stopped clenching my eyes shut for a moment saying, "You're not real, leave me alone."

I felt a hand grab my arm roughly throwing me into the wall as my eyes widened feeling my knees buckle staring forward at Thomas.

"You're the reason our daughter is dead." He said gripping my arm tighter making me wince while I said, "No, you killed her all I ever wanted to do was protect her from you."

He laughed in my face moving closer to me while I tried desperately to absorb into the wall behind me but couldn't while he said, "Do you really believe that? You ran off to try and leave me leaving your precious baby alone with me, you knew I was drunk before you left."

"I never thought you'd kill your own daughter." I said feeling anger rise in my voice while he smirked saying, "Dear after all the things I did to you, did you really think I wouldn't make her suffer too?"

"She was our baby… a blessing and you ruined it." I said while he smacked me in the face sending me to the ground taking a step back saying, "She was an abomination, sired from Hell just because you're body was too weak to get the job done right."

"She was just a baby…" I said softly while he grabbed my hair holding me up to his eye level saying, "And you were a stupid girl who was in over her head, look what you have created me into."

"I never asked for you to hurt me…"I said looking around seeing a sigil on the ceiling while he laughed saying, "I was a good man but you… you were just a no-good whore unable to provide me with what I needed, you made me the man I am and then you went and killed me sending my soul to Hell with you."

I glared towards him saying, "You're in Hell because you're a terrible person."

He shoved me to the ground kicking my stomach hearing his tongue click saying, "Now you're going to damn another good soul… an angel no less."

I felt my body tense up at the mention of it as he smirked saying, "Oh yes word gets far in hell when a demon messes with an angel, you'll destroy him just like you did me."

"He's far better of a man than you've ever been!" I yelled sitting up while he kicked me in the stomach sending me backward squatting down replying, "Maybe right now, but he will become corrupted and learn to hate you just as I did… you'll be left alone again like you are meant to be."

"You're wrong." I said quietly flinging the angel blade up cracking the sigil feeling the room become engulfed in a bright light closing my eyes embracing for what was to come.

"Evelyn…" I heard a soft gravel voice say as a warm hand touched my shoulder opening my eyes to see Castiel's concerned face.

I wrapped my arms tightly around him feeling his arms wrap around me while tears began to fill my eyes saying softly, "Castiel… don't ever leave me."
