THEN:

Castiel gave Dean an impassive gaze. "The information was not relevant before so it was no point discussing it. Perhaps I can make my way into the Devic realm and ask for their assistance of locating Sandalphon."

"I would like to join you. I have not been to that realm in several millennia. Good thinking Castiel." She grabbed his sleeve and shook it excitedly. "It never occurred to me to find any information there. No wonder you made a great soldier. Very resourceful and tactic."

Castiel blushed a little. "Thanks for having confidence in me.

Sam looked very interested. "Is it possible for us to go?" He pointed at Dean and then himself.

"I'm sorry Sam you physically cannot go into that realm. Kuryiel and I have to go in our pure light form to enter this realm and visit these beings. They are simply not in your dimension."

"That's okay Cas. I was curious about them and what they look like. I know you will tell us what happen in great detail. In the meantime, I will do my part by researching Sandalphon's possible whereabouts here on Earth." Sam rose from his chair and picked up everyone's empty plates.

"I have one question." Dean looked at Castiel in an inquisitive expression. "If these beings are from another dimension how can they assist on this planet?"

"Their energy radiates to everything on the planet and universe. I can explain what their true function with the universe..."


NOW:

Castiel sat straight in his chair and twined his fingers on the table. "The Devic beings are connected with humans. They carry certain energies along with subtle nerve channels within humans. I guess you can appreciate to some degree your interdependence upon the Devic Realm for your continued existence."

Dean crossed his arms. "Do you mean they are helping us survive on this planet?"

Castiel nodded his head. "Yes, but you and all the other humans play a role in their function in regards to imagination of what kind of energy to manifest how the world is working. There are negative forces in this world but majority are positive. Either way there has to be a balance of both at the same time."

Sam took a sip of his beer. "When are you guys going there?"

"In a few hours." Castiel got up from his chair. "Kuryiel, we need to rest and recharge our energy for the travel."

"I agree." She also rose from her chair and met Castiel at the doorway. "Well guys get some rest and we will talk about what happen in the morning. The Devic beings work around the clock so there is no set time in their dimension. Good night." They walked away to their rooms.

"Wow we find out new things year. Monsters, angels and now light creatures from another dimension. No telling how many types of beings exist." Sam said with an astonished tone.

"Yeah the universe is full of surprises good and bad. I would have wanted to go with them if possible. I guess being human has its limitations."

"Well I am going to clean up the kitchen and will head to bed soon. Get some shut-eye Dean." Sam got up and started to fill the sink with dish soap water.

Dean stretched at the doorway. "It's been a hell of a day. Good night bro." He walked out of the kitchen to his room.

Sam put the dishes away and walked through the library towards the bedrooms. He noticed Castiel standing near Kuryiel's door. "Hey Cas, anything wrong?" he inquired.

Castiel turned his head quickly and walked away from Kuryiel's bedroom door towards Sam. He looked flushed with embarrassment and grumbled. "No everything is fine. I…um….wanted to ask Kuryiel a question but it can wait until later." He did not meet Sam's eyes by looking as his feet.

Sam slightly smiled knowing he busted Castiel doing something that was in the direction of something personal. "Cas you look nervous do you want to talk about it?"

Castiel continued to fidget a little. "No Sam. There is nothing to talk about." He stammered and backed away toward his room. "Good night Sam." He was about to walk to his door.

"Hey, wait a minute." He grabbed Castiel's coat sleeve gently pulled him to the living area toward the sofa. "Come on Cas. What's really going on?"

Castiel wanted to tug his sleeve away from Sam's grip but he did not want to be rude. "What are you doing?"

They both sat on the sofa. Sam let go of Castiel and asked. "Spill it Cas." Castiel open his mouth to say something. Sam interjected. "Don't make up any excuses so why were you standing at Kuryiel's door?"

Castiel bowed his head feeling shame. "Well." He softly started. "I wanted to sense Kuryiel to see if she is still awake."

"Sense her?" He looked at Castiel strange.

"I don't know how to say this but I am attracted to Kuryiel and we…." He paused. "I mean she kissed me on the cheek the other night. She really caught me off guard with that."

Sam smiled. "Oh really? That sly fox. I figured something was going on between you two. So what are you going to do about it?"

Castiel looked at Sam with a pleading expression. "I don't know for now since we are supposed to be focused on the mission. From the look you are giving me right now, I should make a move on her. I was planning to it after the mission was complete." Castiel sighed feeling relieved that he was able to talk to someone about Kuryiel. "You know I have not been involved with a woman for a long while but I want to take my time with Kuryiel. She's very special to me."

"Hey I understand man. There's no hurry Cas." Sam patted him on the shoulder.

Castiel asked in concerned tone. "Could this stay between us? I don't want Dean to pick on me about this."

Sam got up. "Sure. You don't have to worry about me telling Dean about you and Kuryiel. Well, I am about to crash so I will see you tomorrow morning." Sam headed to his bedroom door and Castiel walked toward his bedroom door as well.

Later in the morning, Dean was sitting at the library table sipping coffee and surfing on his laptop. Sam was writing notes after he glanced at an old hardcover book about Devic beings and other light creatures.

Kuryiel and Castiel appeared ten feet away from them. Dean looked up and noticed they are walking toward them in a smooth stride. Dean's eyebrows lifted in curiosity seeing a slight glow radiating from both of their bodies. "How did it go?" Dean asked.

Castiel took a seat across from Dean. "They did not see Sandalphon for a few millennia but they scanned the planet what part he is living. He is residing in the Colorado Mountains. There are some Indian reservations and a monastery in that region. Sam, I will help you map out where the probable area's he may be hiding."

"That's cool Cas. Let me know when you want to do some research. Sounds like we are going to make some interesting trips soon. What are you guys are going to do for the rest of the day?"

Cas bent his head to glanced down at Sam's book with interest. "Kuryiel and I are going to visit a few angels. We got to continue locating the ones that are in Europe and other countries in the worlds. In the process, I received some threats from a couple of fallen angels we ran into but we are ready for them just in case they show up. "

Kuryiel crossed her arms and boldly interjected. "They will not mess with Castiel otherwise they will know what it feels like to be human with their powers removed. I don't have to reveal my energy to do it."

"Yeah don't mess with Kuryiel she will put you in your place." He said with smirk.

"Well, the comedian is back for another show again. Keep joking and see what happens little human." She gave Dean a stern look.

Dean held his hands up in surrender. "Hey I was just kidding. You don't have to be so sensitive. Sam and I will be driving to Union City, Tennessee to locate a Vampire nest. There had been some murders in one town and they can't understand why people are coming up dead missing blood. We are going there to get to the bottom of this and get rid of that nest."

Kuryiel placed a hand on Dean's shoulder. "We can help you get rid of those things. If it's a large nest you may be out numbered. We can tell you how many are in there and where to find the alpha vampire so you can take him out first."

Dean spread his hands in acceptance. "Great, the more the merrier to get rid of those damned monsters. This is the plan, Sam and I will drive there and when we get close I can summon you and Cas to join us. You have the option to ride in the car with us on the way there but I have a feeling that's not what you prefer."

Kuryiel chuckled. "You are definitely correct. I don't feel like listening to your old-time rock music. Especially your off-key singing to add with the punishment."

"Hey you sure know how to hurt a guy's feelings. I can sing very well thank you." He mocked in humor. "Anyway, we are going to get packed up so you guys can join us in few hours. That way, you will most likely be done visiting the angels on your list." Dean rose from his chair. "Come on Sam get your stuff ready."

When the brothers left the kitchen, Kuryiel asked Castiel. "When do you want to go?"

He replied. "In a few minutes if you like. If we get back early we can rest and wait until Dean calls us. I really hope we don't run into any angry fallen angels on the way. I don't want to hurt them if they decide to attack me."

Kuryiel slapped her hand down on the library table. "I am not going to let that happen do you hear me?" She snapped in frustration. "I can even turn their power off and zap them somewhere else to cool down. I don't want you to feel more guilty than you are ready are."

Castiel reached out and patted Kuryiel's hand. "Thank you for supporting me. You are such a great friend."

She smiled in warmth. "No problem. Let's get out of here and get this over with. I am starting to get hungry." They quietly looked at each other for one second and they both disappeared from the room instantly.

Dean walked by the library area and saw empty seats. "Hey Sam?" he yelled. "Cas and Kuryiel already left. They should be done by the time we arrive in Union City, Tennessee in eleven hours."

"Good let's get our stuff and hit the road." Sam placed his full duffel bag on the library table.

I decided to submit what I got so far. I feel bad that I did not finish the chapter on my deadline. I will continue the story and submit it Thursday as promised. Until then, enjoy the mini chapter.

Until next week….
