Susan pulled her hand out of the man's grip. 'You're not a wizard!' She reached her hand into her boot, but of course didn't find her wand there.

The man turned around. Now she could see more of him. He was wearing a black suit, a white shirt and a loose blue tie. As she looked up past his stubbles she felt entranced by his blue eyes. Something about them made it hard for her to look away. 'I know. Why did you take the blind fold of?' The man asked.

Susan narrowed her eyes at him. He was standing on the uppermost step and she saw no way to get past him. 'Who are you?' And with a glance down stairs she added. 'What are you?'

'My name is Castiel, I'm an Angel of the lord.' He was awfully calm and didn't seem to be joking, or lying.

Still she snorted. 'Sure you are. And I'm the pope.'

Castiel frowned. 'I am pretty sure you are not. I've seen him, on the television. He's an elderly man.'

She stared at him. Was he being serious? 'You just killed two men!' She pointed at the two bodies.

He glanced past her. 'They were demons. I had to, to save you.' Still not a flaw in his expression. 'Now come with me, we have to go. Others will be here soon.' He reached out his hand towards her.

Demons, things just seemed to get better by the second. Susan shook her head. 'I'm not going anywhere with you. I don't trust you.'

'Why not?'

'Because I don't know who or what you are.'

Castiel nodded smiling strangely. 'You don't believe me when I say I'm an Angel.' He nodded. 'No issue. I can prove it to you.'

Before she could even wonder what that meant Castiels blue eyes seemed to grow brighter. From somewhere, it seemed outside, she could hear rumbling, like thunder. Through the gaps between the tape, that blocked the view from every window, flashes of white light shone in. And then, behind Castiel, it seemed two gigantic black wings unfolded, like shadows on the walls.

Susan could only stare in awe. All that she was seeing was too much to take in. Angels, they existed. But in her shock by what was happening she stepped back, only to realize what a bad idea that had been. She fell backwards, down the stairs. Her head hit the concrete hard and she only could remember seeing Castiel stand over her before everything went black again.

When she opened her eyes again it was not to see the abandoned building, but that sixties flowered wallpaper that seems to be significant for motel rooms. Susan sat up on the bed, which was supporting an eerily similar pattern on the spreads. At the window next to the front door she saw Castiel, staring out into the street. 'How long was I out?' She asked, remembering what had happened.

He turned around and walked towards her. 'About four minutes, twenty-three seconds.' Castiel sat on a chair across from the bed. He'd clearly placed it there before. 'It was very inconvenient of you to fall down those stairs and faint.' He commented. 'I had to carry you up the stairs before I could teleport.'

Susan felt like she should be taking notes, like she did whenever they learned something new at school.

1. Angels exist.

2. They can teleport.

'Sorry…' She brushed her hand over the back of her head. No pain, not even the mark of an injury.

3. They can heal.

She looked up at the angel before her. 'Why did this happen to me? Why did those demons take me? Why did you save me?' She spoke calmly, yet anxious. Of course she had an idea of why, but she wanted him to tell her if it was so.

'I saved you because….' He fell silent, but he didn't seem to be thinking about what he was going to say. 'Demons are bad.' It was not exactly the answer she had expected or hoped for. 'I am not sure of why they kidnapped you. Maybe you can tell me. Is there a reason someone would want to kidnap you?'

Susan sighed. She thought of Voldemort, the wizarding war, her family. 'Well, I'm a witch.' She said eventually.

Castiel nodded. 'Aha… I see.' He stood up and began to pace. 'I think those demons may have abducted you for their master. I suspect he found out your kind exists and now…' He looked at her. 'He wants to know how you, and I quote, "tick".'

She swallowed hard. The idea of being cut open to be studied was enough to make her nauseous. She protectively hugged her stomach. Castiel frowned at this movement. 'Will they come after me?'

He shook his head. 'No, I don't think so. They will try to find another wizard before they do that.'

She looked up at him, scared. But not for herself. She could only think of the things that had happened to her happening to her friends. Hannah, Leanne, Seamus, Harry…. 'I can't let them do that. I have to stop them.' She stood up.

'I understand you want to do something. But you can't do that alone.' He looked out the window. 'It might be something I could help you with though.' As he glanced back at Susan he nodded towards the bathroom. 'Why don't you get cleaned up first. I have arranged a new set of clothes for you, I hope they fit.'

She blushed a bit and nodded before slipping into the bathroom. Looking into the mirror she was confronted with how bad she looked. She was covered in dirt all over, her hair was messed up and her eyes had bags under them. Looking down at her clothes she was grateful for the new set he'd arranged. Not only were they covered in dirt as well, but there were tears in the fabric in certain places.

Suddenly a familiar voice yelled out from the other room. "Highway to hell!" Susan walked back, expecting to find her mobile ringing, to see Castiel pick up his phone. She smiled to herself unwillingly.

4. Angels, or at least one of them, have great music taste.

She went back into the bathroom, but could hear Castiel talk on the phone.

'Hello Dean.' … 'Yes, I liked the new ringtone.' … 'Yes, she's here with me.' … 'I'm sorry for not telling you.'… 'No, she doesn't have it on her.' … 'I am pretty sure she can't make pie appear out of nowhere.' … 'Why would I stuff…' He moved out of hearing range.

Susan shut the door and figured she'd take a quick shower.
