Chapter 5

Darkness enveloped him as he opened his eyes.

Pain shot through his injured body like lightning, and a gasp came from his throat as he tried to move but he couldn't.

He tried to move his hands and feet, but shackles prevented him from.
Shackles made to hold an angel of the Lord...

This realization fueled the fear in him even further and he felt how his body began to tremble.

A lamp was turned on, blazing bright light stung his eyes and he squeezed them together immediately and groaned in pain.

"Oh good. You're awake."

Castiel's eyes flew open once again and the pure shock was written all over his face as he recognized the voice.

A voice he knew way too well...

"Lucifer!"

Castiel shuddered strongly and was getting smaller and smaller as his hated brother came to his side, a ferocious grin on his face and a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Hello Castiel. Nice to see you again little brother."

The young angel's jaw dropped open in shock, his pupils were dilated and again he tore at his bonds, trying to free himself, but his attempts were doomed to failure from the beginning.

These handcuffs he could not break.

"What is it? You want to leave me again?"

The smug grin on Lucifer's face fueled the fear in his body even further.

"Let me go," he snarled with the last bit of his courage.

But Lucifer could clearly see the fear in his eyes and the increasingly strong tremors of his body betrayed him also.

"My, my, where are your manners dearest brother?"

Castiel shuddered and narrowed his eyes as the fallen angel brushed his index finger over his body and only now he realized that he was completely naked. Immediately his cheeks turned deep red. A reaction that he could not control and he was so hoping that his brother would not see that.

But the mocking laughter that followed only seconds later, confirmed that he had seen it.

"Brother...you embarrassme..."

It was only a whisper which left Castiel's lips and he didn't dare to look Lucifer in his eyes, so he turned his face away from him, and held his eyes still closed.

"Embarrassyou?"

The mocking laughter gave way to a deep growl and Castiel winced as the fallen angel grabbed his chin and turned his head back and forced him to look him in the face as he opened his eyes again.

"I have taken off your clothes because they were completely torn up and I took care of your wounds little brother, because you were not even able to do this on your own! If I had not been there, then you wouldn't be alive now."

Castiel needed some time to process the spoken words and his steel-blue eyes widened as the realization broke over him like a tidal wave.

"You was that? You have brought me out there?"

Lucifer released his chin, took a chair and sat down at his side.

His hard face was soft again and it almost looked to Castiel as nothing bad had ever happened between them that everything was back like before, when Lucifer was a good angel and not a monster which now reigned over hell.

But these were long-gone days and he knew that these times would never come back and it would never be like this between them as it once was.

"Yes, I have brought you out here."

"So you haven't sent us these demons and hell hounds?"

"Brother, I may be called a devil, but I would never wish my brother a death like this."

Castiel fell silent, not knowing what he should say.

Was this really the "devil" who had uttered these gentle words?

The young angel could hardly believe what he was hearing...

"Why?"

Lucifer raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"Why do I have saved you?"

Castiel nodded silently.

The morning star rose again from his seat, sat down next to his brother's side at the table and looked at this face.

There was no mockery or ridicule, not even hatred in his blue eyes.

No!

It was something else.

An almost gentle sparkle was in his eyes which made Castiel shiver.

"I will not waste my time with talking brother. Team up with me."

"No, never!"

"Brother, what it brings you if you are together with these puny creatures when you could form this world together with me. You're only doing what Daddy says or your big brother Michael, but I...I would promise you a new life, a better life without princes or generals who tell you what you have to do. Together with me we will rule over this world and show father that he was wrong."

"You're sick! Humans are not the way you imagine it! I've seen goodness in them, love. Even pain and suffering, but are we so different, since father is gone? We are at war, killing our own brothers and sisters and for what? Because a son is in the midst of rage!"

Lucifer narrowed his eyes and leaned menacingly over Castiel.

His eyes pierced almost through the young angel's, made him shiver strongly.

"Pay attention to the choice of your words Castiel or it may be your last!"

"If you want to kill me then do it now, because I will never be on your site, nor will I tell you where Sam Winchester is, if that's what you want from me."

Lucifer's lips twisted into a sinister grin due to the words.

"Oh I'm not worried about Sam. Sooner or later he will come to me and he will say "yes" to me. At the moment I am only interested in you."

"Why? Because I'm like you? Because I am an outcast? I'm not like you, Lucifer! I've fallen for another reason!"

"Oh yeah? Is that you? Stop lying to yourself Castiel. You have just rebelled like me and like me you have fallen. There is no going back, neither for you nor for me."

"If it is so then I'd rather die. Kill me Lucifer. I have already chosen my site and it is certainly not yours."

"You prefer these wretched humans than me? What has become of you? Once you were one of the most powerful angels of heaven, and now...just look at you..."

Castiel's brows were knitted together now.

One of the most powerful angels in heaven?

"What are you talking there Lucifer? I'm just an ordinary angel..."

Again this wide grin appeared on his face, followed by a low, dark chuckle.

"You don't know?"

"What I don't know?"

A loud laugh came now from Lucifer's throat and his eyes began to sparkle in gloating.

"This is too funny. They must have given you a really bad brainwashing that you can't even remember who you are."

"I-I can't follow you brother."

Lucifer took his face in his hands and looked deep into his eyes.

"Castiel. You're no ordinary angel. You're a Seraphim!"
