We went back to the hospital and Cas poured the oil around the wheelchair that Raphael's vessel was sat in.
"When the oil burns no angel can touch or pass through the flames or he dies" he told us
"Okay we trap him in steel cage of holy fire, but how do we get him here?" Dean asked
"There's almost an open phone line between a vessel and his angel" Cas explained
Cas said something in a language I didn't understand then finished off with "I'm here Raphael come and get me you little bastard"
"How long does this usually take?" I asked
"Just be ready" Cas told me as he dropped a match into the oil.
After a whole day of waiting we had to give up and go back to the house.
"Wait" Cas warned Dean and held onto my arm to stop me from stepping inside
The guy from the hospital was stood in the middle of the room
"Raphael" Cas said.
"I thought you were supposed to be impressive" Dean said "all you do is black out the room"
"And the Eastern seaboard" Raphael responded as lightning flashed outside "It's a credit to my unending mercy that I don't smite you here and now"
"Maybe you're afraid God will bring Cas back to life and smite you and your candy ass skirt. By the way hi I'm Dean"
"I know where you are and now thanks to him I know where you are"
"You can't hurt him" I spoke up "he's too important"
"But I will take him to Michael, mm Interesting" he looked at me "mostly human but a touch of something else. Did you used to be an angel? He asked "you're a fallen" he realised
Dean looked at me in confusion "I'll explain later, if we're still alive" I told him
"You won't be" Raphael promised "Have you told her the punishment for cutting out here grace?" he asked Cas
He hadn't but I knew it couldn't be good "I am going to be rewarded twice over when I return to Michael with his vessel and a fallen". Raphael continued.
"There's just one thing you forgot but it's worth mentioning" Dean said
"What?" Raphael asked
"We knew you were coming you stupid son of a bitch"
I dropped my lighter into the circle of oil surrounding Raphael and watched as it went up in flames.
Then I stood by Castiels side and slipped my hand into his to show that I was with him on his insane mission.
"Don't look at me" Dean said "It was his idea" he nodded towards Cas
"Where is he?" Cas asked
"God? Didn't you hear? He's dead Castiel, dead"
"He's lying" I told Cas
"Am I ? do you remember the 20th century ? Think the 21st is going any better?" He asked Cas."Do you think God would have let any of this happen if he were alive?"
"Yeah well who invented the Chinese basket trick?" Dean asked
"what?" I mouthed
"Careful, that's my father you're talking about boy"
"Yeah who would be so proud to know that his son started the frigging apocalypse" Dean argued
"Who ran off and disappeared, who left no instructions and a world to rot"
"So your daddy ran away and disappeared, he didn't happen to work for the post office did he?" Dean asked
I tried not to laugh.
"Answer this then smart ass" I said "If God is dead how did he bring Cas back to life?"
"Is that what you think little girl?" Raphael grinned at me "That God's the one who bought your boyfriend back to life? Hove you ever considered it was Lucifer?"
"That makes no sense at all" I told him
"He needs all the rebellious angels he can get"
"Lets go" Cas began to lead me away
"Castiel I'm warning you, do not leave me here. I will find you"
"Maybe someday but today you're my little bitch"
Cas and I walked out I heard Dean behind us saying "Yeah what he said"
"We need to talk" Dean said when we were outside "Fallen?"
"I was going to tell you eventually I'm sorry. I just didn't want you to treat me any different"
"She's like Anna was" Cas told him "She cut out her grace and fell to earth
"But I don't remember any of it" I told Dean
"Does that mean they'll be coming for her?"
"Who?" I asked
"Angels and demons the angels will want to kill you and the demons will just want to torture you"
"Oh is that all?" I replied sarcastically
"I won't let that happen" Cas told me as he slipped an amulet over my head
"What's that?" I asked
"it'll keep you hidden from angels and demons
"What?" Dean asked "she gets an amulet and me and Sam get a painful carving in our ribs"
"This is the only one of it's kind I managed to find it when I was in Jerusalem" he said
"Thank you" I told him
"You're welcome"
"So anything else I should know?" Dean asked me
"No" said
"Good, no more secrets OK?"
"No more secrets" I promised
"I lay awake in my motel room "Hey Cas" I said as I saw him standing by the side of my bed. I didn't mind that he hadn't knocked I was just glad he was here"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving for a few days"
"That's OK I'm sure it was important" I sat up and motioned to him to sit down next to me
"Do you think it's insane that I want to find God, I know Dean thinks it's insane"
"It is a little" I admitted "but only because all this is new to me. I'm used to monsters and demons but until recently God and Angels were just stories I didn't know you guys were real"
"Thank you for your honesty"
"It doesn't matter you know? If I think its insane or not?"
"It matters to me what you think?"
"I'm glad" I told him as I snuggled up to him "but what I mean is it's important to you so that makes it important to me too because you're important to me"
He kissed the top of my head then he gently stroked my hair until I fell asleep and this time when I woke up the next morning he was still there.
