I'll keep you safe
Chapter 4
We sat in the back of this abandoned bar. Purplish lights were covering the entire place and this Jeffrey guy was sat at a small wooden stool. He looked down at Castiel and frowned.
"You are way less menacing than people told me." He said slowly. "What do you need, Cassie?"
"It's Castiel." He replied as he tried to make himself look taller. It was kind of adorable. "Do you know anything about a book that could contain the information to change my vessel like this?"
"A spell book for de-aging angels." Sam explained.
Jeffrey smirked at Sam and knelt in front of Cas. He raised a hand to put it on top of Castiel's forehead. Without thinking, I pull my gun out.
"Don't try anything stupid." I said as I put the gun closer to his head.
Jeffrey looked up at me with a smirk. "You think this would stop me?" He simply said and it was Cas' turn to get angry.
"You two, stop it!" He shouted. "Jeffrey leave him alone!"
"How cute…" He simply replied.
"I can't believe you were friend with this asshole." I said as I put my gun away.
"And I can't believe you are friend with those so call hunters." Jeffrey said.
"Stop it!" Cas shouted even louder and his small fist tighten as he fought to control himself. I saw something in his eyes changed as he shouted again and ran towards me. He opened his arms and I lifted him gently. He put his arms in front of him like if he wanted to keep me and Jeffrey away from each other. This was his way to stop the upcoming fight.
Jeffrey sighed and put one hand in front of Cas. "I need to be sure of something. The sooner I know what you are dealing with the sooner this can end."
I let him take Cas' hand and watched carefully as his eyes started getting brighter. He then let go and nodded to himself. He snapped his fingers and a key appeared in his hands. Well it seemed that not only Gabriel could do that. He walked to another door and unlocked it.
We stepped into a giant library and I heard Sam gasped behind us. I smiled as I turned to look at him. This was his heaven. We followed this asshole to a computer and he typed in some Enochian words that I couldn't understand. He pointed at two book.
"Those are the oldest but if our brother wanted something to put you like this, they probably chose those. If they didn't well I'm sorry but you'll have to find some witches to help you." Jeffrey explained and I sighed. Of course… damn witches. "This one contain the basic information to temporary de-age a vessel, it doesn't affect the powers or anything and it is not permanent. They use it to slow down others."
"That's not the one." I said.
"I know. So it is not vol.1. Vol. 2 contain the information to de-age the mind. But it doesn't touch the powers." He continued. "This vol. 3 is for the powers only. It changed the strength of an angel base on his vessel age and mind." Jeffrey turned and looked at Cas for a moment. "In your case, they probably used the three books. One for your body, two for your mind and three for your powers. You are screwed man."
"How can we find it?" I asked as I felt Castiel starting to shake again.
"I have no idea. Now you know what you are looking for… now leave me alone." He said as he turned to walk away.
I looked at him for a moment and realized that his left arm didn't really look normal. I frowned when I noticed that the side of his head was also looking weird. He had a long cut on the side of his head and his arm seemed to be cut in different places. I couldn't help but ask.
"What happened to your arm?"
"Damn hunters…" He simply said as he snapped his fingers and the three of us were back in the bunker.
Castiel looked at me with sad eyes. Sam sat at the table with his laptop and went into search mode.
"What did the title meant?" Sam asked little Cas in my arms.
"Angel de-aging spell volume one, two, and three." Castiel said in the childish voice that meant he was going to cry if I didn't do anything.
"We'll find those books, don't worry." I whispered to him quietly.
"I'm sorry Dean… I should have known my brothers would do this. And I really thought Jeffrey would have been more helpful… I'm sorry I can't do anything, I'm useless and now you have three books that probably doesn't even exist anymore to find…" Cas shuddered.
"Shh, Cas it's okay. You are not useless okay, stop saying that." I said as I rubbed his back gently. "You know what? Tomorrow we all take a break okay? We'll go get you some clothes and we'll relax. This is going to take time anyway, so might as well take pauses in between."
Castiel nodded slowly and walked slowly to Sam. It was obvious in the way he walked and looked around that this was child Castiel. The little boy walked to my brother and opened his arms, asking for a hug. Sam knelt and gave it to him, he ruffled Cas' hair and closed his laptop. The giggle that came out of Castiel's mouth was just another sigh that he was losing his normal mind. He was turning into a child, a small kid with black wings moving behind him. He looked at me and yawned.
"Come on, let's get some sleep." I simply said as I lifted him up and carried him to my room. I could feel Sam staring at the back of my head but I didn't care.
Castiel needed somebody to take care of him and this somebody was me. So I would do anything possible to make him happy, to make him feel better about all this. It was my responsibly to take care of him.
