Alex paced the park nervously, trying not to bite her nails. She jumped and called out again, "Castiel! Where are you?" She sat down by the Tree and folded her arms around her knees. She looked around the park once again, trying to see where Dean and Sam went, but she didn't see anything.

"Alex?" Castiel kneeled down next to her. Alex looked up at him, "where've you been?" Castiel tilted his head, "I have been with Layla." Alex's smile immediatly turned to a hateful frown, "why?" Castiel frowned, "we have not seen each other in years, we wanted to talk." Alex laughed sadly, "yeah, uh huh, just talking. Like I believe that."

"What's wrong? Why are you acting like this toward your mother?" Alex stood abruptly, "She is not my mother! I don't know who, or what, that thing is, but it's not my mom!" Castiel gripped her shoulder, "It is your mother." Alex took a deep breath, "No she's not," she said calmly, "and if you don't believe me, then try going inside her head." Alex turned her back on him, spread her wings, and took flight.

Castiel sat on the grass, confused. Why was Alex acting so different, he thought, Layla is still her mother. He shook his head, threading his hands through his hair, something he had seen Dean do. He stood up, looked around the park, then left to find Layla.


Sam sat in the passenger seat of the Impala while Dean drove. Dean had a smile on his face and was singing along to whatever rock song came on the radio. Sam sighed, still thinking about the night before. Alex had given him a knowing smile and didn't ask about the dream again. It worried him.

Sam's phone rang and he glanced at the screen. "Alex? Hey, what's wrong?" Dean looked over at Sam and turned the radio down. Alex spoke quietly, her voice shakey like she'd been crying, "hey Sam, uh, can you please come get me? Like, right now?" Sam frowned, "Yeah, ok, where are you?" She told him where she was and Dean immediatly floored the gas petal.

They arrived at the park and Dean jumped out and ran up to the tree where they met Alex. She was curled up in a ball, crying. Dean sat beside her and put an arm around her shoulders. "Hey," he said softly, "what's wrong." Alex shook her head, "Cas didn't believe me..." Sam sat on the other side of her, "I'm sorry." Alex smiled sadly, "It's ok, s'not your fault."

Dean looked around, "hey, let's call Gabriel, he could talk to Cas for you." Alex nodded, not looking up. Dean looked up at Sam, "call him." Sam rolled his eyes and yelled for Gabriel. "What," Gabriel paused, "do you want?" Dean looked up, "she needs your help." Gabriel looked down at Alex and immediatly got seious, "what happened to her? What did you do?" Sam shook his head, "we didn't do anything, it was...it was Cas."

Gabriel looked suprised, "what about him?" Alex looked up at him, her eyes red and swollen, "he didn't believe me. He went back to her." Gabriel set his jaw, "what can I do?" Alex looked away, "talk to him. Try to convince him..." she trailed off, buring her face in Dean's shoulder. Gabriel nodded, leaving them alone. "Hey, Alex," Dean said, "let's get you back to the motel." She nodded, and Sam helped her into the car while Dean started it. Alex curled up into a ball in the back, and was asleep before they arrived at the motel.
