Tchh. Tchhhh.

It was the slightest sound. Almost soft enough to completely melt into the empty air.

Almost.

Castiel eyes snapped open. He immediately reached for his blade, that was hidden between the cracks of the sofa. He winced a little, his stiff wounds protesting against the sudden movement.

Tchh. Tchhhh.

Someone was here. He quickly looked at the clock across the room.

11:43

It was just shy of 10 minutes, the boys wouldn't have been back so soon. He slowly got up, walking across the room towards the kitchen. Castiel tighten his grip on the blade, his familiar fight instinct growing stronger.

Tchhh. Tchhhhh.

It sounded like a knife slowly scraping away at wood. Castiel narrowed his eyes. It was coming from outside. He walked quietly towards the window, the scrapping sound getting louder before suddenly stopping. The next few moments went by slowly, as suspense started to build up in the deafening silence. Castiel tensed his muscles. Suddenly the silence broke, a black blob appearing in front of the window.

It smashed through the window, sending him crashing hard to the floor. A hand was pushing his hurt shoulder roughly down, while the other pinned his chest down. He screamed in pain, as sharp nails started digging deeper into his flesh.

"Hello." The creature sneered, fangs lashing out.

"I bet you taste heavenly." He grinned, eyes hungrily admiring the blood trickling out of his shoulder. Castiel kicked the vampire in the gut as hard as he could, feeling a surge of new energy settle into his bones. The vampire went flying into the kitchen cabinets, bashing it in. He quickly dragged the vamp out, holding the blade to his throat.

"What are you doing here?" Castiel growled.

"I knew the demons weren't strong enough to finish you off. But they're coming here anyways." The vamp chided.

" Already got three...The other sigil will be gone and so are those hunters . No one to save you this time. " The vamp hummed. Castiel narrowed his eyes, whipping out his knife.

"What did you mean?" Castiel snarled between gritted teeth.

" Demons asked for a distraction, wanted you dead. Course with all of our kin you killed, we happily obliged. I'm sure my two boys already figured out that they were the bait... well we all gotta make some sacrifices along the way."

"You sold out your own?" Castiel narrowed his eyes in disgust, but he didn't know what else he expected. The only thing that meant something to these creatures were blood and death.

"Anything foryour head you-."

His blade went through smoothly, the vamps head uneventfully thumping to the ground.

Tchhhh.

There it was, the same sound. Castiel tensed his muscles, It was coming from the other room. A strong cool breeze drifted by. The front door was wide opened. Panting he slowly got back up, grimacing as he clasped a hand on his shoulder

Castiel whipped towards the sound, suddenly catching a glimpse of a dark figure in the room. Without hesitation he raised his palm, a powerful force speeding out, smacking its target down. He groaned as he immediately felt his headache getting stronger. He gritted his teeth, waiting for the wave of pain to fade. The figure stayed on the ground, grinning wildly as Cas grabbed him by the collar.

"What do you want?" Castiel snarled.

"Go ahead, kill me. My friends will be here any second to finish you off." Cas glanced up, his shoulders slightly slouching in exasperation. The last demon warding sigil was broken. A small section of it roughly scratched off.

"Friends?" Castiel snarled, turning his attention back to the vampire. The vamp just smiled as he sank the blade deeper into his neck.

"Don't know what those are? Oh right, you don't have any friends do you angel." He sneered.

Castiel grunted as the vamp launched himself up, his teeth seconds away from plunging into his shoulder. He quickly dodged it, landed a sharp blow on the vamps face.

"No...I have family." Castiel corrected. Within seconds the vamps head was on the ground in a similar fashion to the one in the kitchen.

Moments later a strong presence of darkness seeped into the room that made his skin crawl. Six demons were standing in the living room, their eyes cold and narrowed.

Castiel took a deep breath, tightening his grip on the blade.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Dean huffed, as he wiped the blood off his long blade.

"Have fun in purgatory you asshole." Dean muttered, staring at the vamps lifeless body.

"Dean, I don't think there's any more." Sam called, walking into the room holding a bloody blade. The boys followed a trail of blood from the victim, which lead them to an abandoned barn.

"How's that possible we only killed two."

"The one I just talked to said there's two more, didn't say where. But, don't you think it's kind of strange they were just out in the open ." Sam asked, referring to the large empty room. It didn't take long for them to find the vamps, it almost seemed like they're were waiting.

"Well Sammy, about everything we do is strange. Until we get any leads on the other vamps, I say we go back and check on Cas." Dean said, already half way out the door. Sam followed, taking his phone out to dial Castiel.

"Dean, he's not picking up."

0000000000000000000000000

A small screen flashed, a sharp ringing bursting into the room. Everyone in the room paused, their attention grabbed by the device glowing brightly in the dark room. That was all the distraction Castiel needed. He drawled in his energy touching the foreheads of the two nearest Demons. His eyes lit up, the Demon screeching as light engulfed it from the inside. Castiel eyes started to dim, quicker than he had hoped. He heard a sharp woosh as someone sent his phone flying towards his head, barely missing as it broke into pieces against the wall.

One of the Demons lowered her hand, her attention shifting to Castiel.

"Enough." She snarled. Cas yelped as the Demon now sent him flying, pinning him again the wall. The other three demons starting to approach him, but was stopped with a simple gesture from who he assumed was the leader.

"You angels think you're all high and powerful in that little heaven of yours. " The demon spat, her eyes filled with piercing hatred.

"But down here, you're nothing. Pathetic."

"If I'm so pathetic, then why bother with them." Castiel hissed, eyes glancing towards the headless vampire. The demon shifted her glance. Castiel immediately caught on.

"You're afraid of the Winchesters-"

"We aren't afraid of anything! We got plans for them another day." She snarled, just inches away from his face. Castiel quickly slammed his hand onto her shoulder, urgency sparking in the demons eyes. But the familiar blast of fatal energy didn't come. Instead it wavered, before slowly fading out. The demon smiled viciously. With a wave of her hand she pushed Castiel harder against the wall until he could feel his ribs starting to crack.

"Well... I heard you were hurt. But I had no idea you were broken." She scoffed.

"I'm not broken." Castiel hissed, shoving the angel blade deep into the demons side. She screeched as light started to pour out of her wound. Castiel fell to the ground, free from the crushing force. Clutching his ribs with one hand, he pulled the angel blade out of the lifeless body, eyeing the remaining demons.

"Who's next?"
