I don't own Supernatural. *sniff*

Chapter 2

Leaving Home

He couldn't sleep, but he didn't know why. A glance at the clock and he knew it was way past his bedtime. In fact, it was almost midnight and tomorrow he would have to go to school because it was a regular Thursday. Jimmy laid in bed for a few more minutes, listening to the steady ticking of his clock. He had a weird tingling feeling in his belly, that was probably why he couldn't sleep.

"Jimmy"

The little boy was scared. Someone was in his room. He pulled his pirate themed blankets over his head and buried himself in them. A soft but bright light illuminated the room. The light was warm and welcoming. Jimmy wanted to touch it really bad, but he was so scared. Maye it was hot and would burn him, but then again, he couldn't imagine being hurt by something so beautiful. Slowly, he crawled out from underneath his blanket.

"Jimmy, do you know who I am?"

The voice sounded really nice. Like nobody would harm him ever. He felt safe, but his mommy had always told him not to talk to strangers.

"Are you the tooth fairy?"

Jimmy heard a light chuckle, it was a nice sound. Everything about the light seemed nice. He wished the light would never go away.

"Why would you think that?"

The seven year old grew more and more comfortable talking with this glowing something in his room. "Uh.. don't know. Who are you then?"

A pair of dark, beautiful wings appeared behind the human shaped light and Jimmy's eyes grew wide. He drew in a sharp breath.

"You're an angel!"

It looked like the light slightly nodded.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Castiel, and I need your help"

Jimmy didn't know how to feel. An angel needed his help? What could he do? He was just a little boy after all, not some super hero.

"How can I help you?"

"I need a body to stay in, if you say yes, and please think about your answer thoroughly, we would be sharing your body. You wouldn't be home for a long time"

The little boy thought about it. He loved his family, but if an angel needed his help, it must be important. Maybe he could help save the world. Maybe he would become a superhero after all.

"Why me? Why do you need a body, can't you just go around like this?"

"Very few people can see my true form without loosing their eyesight, in a body I can interact with every human being without causing them harm. Why you? You are a very strong and faithful human"

Jimmy would keep people safe, and the angel said he was strong. He could do this. Lifting his head so he looked straight in the angels eyes, or at least where he thought his eyes were, he made his decision.

"What do I have to do?"

"I need permission"

Jimmy swallowed his remaining fears and doubts.

"Ok then. Castiel, my answer is yes"

The light shone even brighter for a second, then it was gone. Jimmy felt warm and safe, he could feel Castiel taking control of his body, but it didn't bother him. After all, now he had an angel by his side. The seven year old had to do something first, he took back control. "Just this one last thing" He assured his new, well, friend. He wrote something down, a note, on a piece of paper. Then he let Castiel take control again.

I love you all, and I'm sorry. But now, an angel needs my help. I don't know when I will be back, maybe never. Don't be sad, don't be mad. I am going to be fine, I have an angelI by my side.I will help save the world. -Jimmy

With that, he was gone. The bed, the whole room, empty.
