Dean leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes. No doctors had come out to inform them of Alex's condition, and he was tired. He glanced at Castiel, sitting ramrod straght and eyes fixed on the door, then settled in for a nap.
Alex limped along beside Zach, brushing some hair from her face. She cocked her head to the side and sighed, "so, where we goin'?" Zach glanced at her, "You'll see soon enough." Alex looked suspicious, but shrugged and continued walking.
Alex yawned, feeling very tired all the sudden. She blinked hard, trying to keep her eyes open. "Man," she yawned, "I'm tired." Zach looked down at her, "That happens with the drugs they give you here." Alex nodded, yawning again.
Alex stumbled on her feet, and Zach caught her. "Woah there, you gotta keep on your feet." He straightened her up and she shook her head. Zach took a sideways glance at her, his hand still on her shoulder.
Alex looked up at him, her eyes clear and bright. She looked up at him, confusion on her face. "I know you from somewhere," she said, her eyes narrowing. He smiled slightly, "You probly saw me when you woke up, just after you got here." Alex nodded, satisfied with the explination...for now.
"So, how's your life going?" Zach looked down at her curiously. Alex shrugged, "Same old clusterfuck, I guess." Zach looked at her strangly, "You shouldn't say things like that, it could get you in trouble." Alex snorted, "how? I'm not at school." She shook her head, getting more tired by the minute.
They came up to the front desk, "I'm checking this girl out." The nurse nodded, "Alexandria Danyell..Winchester?" Alex shrugged, "if that's what I was checked in as." Zach smiled at the nurse, "so can we leave." The nurse turned her head to the side, suspicious, but nodded. Zach smiled again, and they left.
Dean was jerked awake by a magazine hitting him up-side the head. "WAKE UP," Sam yelled, raising the magazine up over his head. "I'M AWAKE," Dean yelled back. Dean saw Cas up at the desk, "Why's he up there?"
"That's why I woke you up, Alex has been checked out." Dean shot up out of the chair. "Cas!" Castiel turned slightly, "I do not know where she is, I cannot hear her thoughts, nor feel her location." Dean shook his head, "How'd she leave?" Castiel sighed, "I suspect it was through the main entrance."
"But, Alex knows not to go with strangers!" Dean paced back and forth, the other occupance of the room looking at them strangly. "Maybe the guy who took her said she knew one of us," Sam chimed in. "She still wouldn't have gone with him," Dean said.
"Maybe, with drugs clouding her judgement, the man or woman presented themself as a docter, and told her they could get her out of the hospital," Castiel said. Dean shook his head, but agreed. "I don't like this," he said. Castiel said nothing and Sam put a hand on Dean's shoulder.
"So, where we goin'?" Alex was trailing behind Zach. He looked at her, annoyed, "How many times are you going to ask that?" Alex smirked, "until you tell me." Zach rolled his eyes, "Well, we better hurry, if we're going to get there in time." Alex bounced up and down, but yawned again.
Zach had taken off his white coat, and was just wearing his suit now. "Why're you wearing a suit? Don't you get hot?" Zach shook his head in answer. Alex was bored, and she needed to stretch her wings. Alex frowned slightly...wings...She gasped. That's what was off about this guy.
Dean opened the door to the Impala, then slammed it forcefully when he got in. He would've loved to just poof there with Castiel, like Sam, but he wouldn't dare leave his baby. He sat there silently, trying to calm down. He rested his head on the steering wheel, breathing deeply.
He couldn't help but think this was his fault. If they hadn't have came here, none of this would've happened. Alex would still be a normal girl at school, struggling with teenage boys. Not a 30-year-old hunter. God, he felt like such a pedobear...Even if she had an older body, she was still 13.
Dean sighed, there would be time to be a complete girl later. Right now, he had to focus on finding Alex.
Castiel and Sam arrived at the motel room in seconds. Castiel's eyes were unfocused, and Sam was a little worried. "Cas," he said, "you ok?" Castiel nodded, "yes, Sam, I am fine." Sam didn't look convinced, but left the subject at that.
Alex stopped walking and Zach turned back to her. She was staring at him, her eyes wide. "What?" Zach said. Alex took a step back, "That's what was wrong..." Zach stepped toward her, and she immediatly unfolded her wings. "Stay away from me!"
Zach looked confusied, "What's wrong?" Alex's breathing was shallow, and her arm had started bleeding again, "You...you're an...an angel." Zach looked at her, confusied, but then understanding dawned on him.
"Oh, you mean these?" He unfolded his wings. Alex nodded quickly, scared. Zach looked sad, "Yes, I am an angel. But I don't want to hurt you, I promise." He looked at her kindly, and she relaxed slightly, "How do I know your not lying?" Zach shook his head, "You don't. Just, trust me." Alex nodded, "ok, but lemme ask Cas first."
"NO!" Alex started, looking scared again. "I mean, don't talk to him yet, I want this to be a suprise." Alex still looked skeptical, but nodded and took his hand anyway.
Dean pulled up to the motel shortly after he left the hospital, less then 5 minutes. Dean got out of the car and jogged to the door, opening it. "Found anything," he asked with no real hope in his voice. Sam shook his head, pointing to Cas. Dean looked at him and raised his eyebrows.
Castiel was sitting cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed. His breathing was even and his back was straight. Dean looked at Sam, confusied. Sam shook his head, shrugging. Castiel opened his eyes, "I am trying to look past the sigils on her ribs. I-" Castiel gasped, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.
Dean immediatly kneeled down, grabbing Castiel's shoulder. "Cas? Hey, Cas, you ok?" Dean and Sam pulled him up onto the bed, setting him down gently. "Dude, what the hell is wrong with this freakin' town," Dean yelled. Sam shook his head, sighing.
Inside Castiel's head
I woke up, not in the motel room with Sam and Dean, but in a meadow. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. I reminded me of Alex, it's beauty so very subtle, and yet, so prominant. I stood up, brushing the grass of the ever-present trenchcoat covering my vessels body. I had thought about changing the clothes, but had decided against it.
I walked through the meadow, running my hands over the tips of the abundance of flowers. I smiled, remembering how much Alex liked flowers. I plucked one from the ground, smelling it. It was a pleasent smell, the smell of nature.
It was peacefull here, no hint of war or famine or pain or sadness. It looked nothing like the meadows on Earth. It looked untouched by human hands. Unaltered by the twisted existance of Heaven and Hell. A paradise, a haven in the unpleasent uprising of everything evil and hateful. But something like this would never last on Earth.
I went up to a lone tree standing tall against all the flowers and grass. I studied it, taking in the image. It was identical to the tree at the park where he and Alex had met, with her little brother. Upon closer inspection, I found the hand-print Alex had burnt into the bark. Yes, this tree was the twin of the tree in the park.
"Castiel." I turned, facing the voice. Zachariah stood there, his hands behind his back. "Zachariah," I said, letting no emotion show on my face. "Are you still looking for your daughter?" Zachariah smirked at me. I nodded, stiffly. The angel across from me smiled again, tugging his hand out from behind his back. Alex stepped out from behind him, her eyes eagerly looking at me.
"Alex," I whispered. Alex smiled and nodded, "Hiya Cas!" She was so cheerful and happy, so Zachariah must not have done anything to hurt her or make her distrust him. But, Alex is a very good actress, so I couldn't be sure. "Yep, this is Alex, in the flesh. Healed and happy," Zachariah said, and Alex held out her arm to show me the unmarred flesh.
"I'm ok Cas! Zach healed me!" She said his name, not with affection, but with thanks. At least she was not yet fond of Zachariah. She looked at him, silently pleading for something. He nodded, and she ran forward, jumping on me and wrapping her arms around my neck. "I'm fine," she said again, softer this time, reassuring. She pulled back, looking into my eyes. I can't read people very well, a side effect of my non-existant people skills.
But, as they say, the eyes are the windows into the soul, and I can read eyes very well. Alex was looking at me, pleading for help, for a rescue, for something. She wanted to leave with me, not Zachariah. But he wouldn't allow that. Alex touched her forehead to mine. It would seem like an innocent gesture to anyone observing it, but it said so much more. I could see into her mind, hear her thoughts, feel what she felt. She was scared, she longed to leave with me, and go back to see Sam and Dean. But she understood she must got back with Zachariah, to ensure the safty of her brother.
She fully believed she must leave with Zachariah. Not just for her brothers safety, but for the safety of the Winchesters, and myself. Alex looked at me one last time before running back to Zachariah's side. "So, Castiel, we'll be in touch." I frowned, "indeed we shall. And I will get her back." Zach smirked, "Of course you will."
Back in the hotel
Castiel opened his eyes and sat up. "Dude, are you ok,' Dean asked. "Yeah, you scared us pretty good," Sam said, moving next to him. Castiel nodded, "I am fine. I am not sure Alex is though." Dean looked alarmed, "What, why?" Castiel looked at him, "she is with Zachariah." Dean was quiet for a second, "SON OF A BITCH." Sam looked at his brother.
"Calm down Dean," he said. "Calm down? How can I calm down when Alex is with the damn lord of all things douchey?" Castiel took a deep breath, "Sam is right, we are of no help to Alex if we are not calm. We must think rationaly." Dean looked at Castiel for a while, then nodded and sat down. They all got ready for a long night.
Castiel&Dean: Alex...
Sam: I really hope we find her
Alex: help me, please
