The fight continues...

I hope it's not too much, because it happens a lot on this chapter ;).

Chapter 15

With fury sparkling eyes Dean looked down at his best friend.

His muscles burned with the force with which he tried to keep Castiel's arms on the ground, so he could not attack, but he forgot the fact that Castiel was not a human but an angel of the Lord. He was so much more powerful than Dean could ever imagine...

However, he didn't want to give up.

He had never given up before and he wouldn't do it now, no matter how this situation would end!

He would not give up his best friend.

And he would also protect his little brother at all costs!

"I will not let you kill Gabriel and you won't get my brother either! You have to kill me first!"

Castiel kept his straight face, looked at him almost emotionless, but Dean could see the clear sparkle of sheer anger in his bright blue eyes all too well and it gave him the shivers. He had never seen Castiel like this before. He couldn't believe what a monster had become of the angel who stumbled always so clumsy through life and who had saved him from hell...

"Dean...let me go. Immediately."

The threat in this seemingly quiet words caused strong Goosebumps on Dean's body that made him shiver yet again, but he tried to control himself and not to let his fear taking control over him. Showing weakness would be a fatal mistake that could cost him his life in a situation like this. Castiel looked like he was ready for anything. Even to kill his best friend!

"No Castiel. I will not let you go. I will not allow it! I will not let you bring my brother to this monster!"

Now the angel narrowed his eyes and the hunter could see the anger in them.

"Watch your words Dean! Lucifer is my big brother and the only angel that I can trust."

"Did you hear your own words? What's wrong with you?! Lucifer is the devil! He will destroy this planet and he's using you as a puppet, don't you realize that? By bringing Sam to him, you seal the fate of my world!"

"Your world Dean? Was it not my father, who gave you and all the other people this world? Look what you have done with this gift. You have destroyed it in your greed."

The Seraphim braced himself against the human.

"And my brother and I will ensure that you will pay for it. Lucifer has opened my eyes. All the time he was right. You are weak, power-hungry and you will never stop. No, you do go on and on until this wonderful world will be completely destroyed. No, I will not let you do that!"

Before Dean could react, he was pinned to the ground and two strong arms held him effortlessly down. Azure eyes sparkled almost hateful and it almost looked like they would glow and burn directly into his soul.

And then he felt it!

It started weakly, seemed to him almost as if this strange feeling arise inside his imagination, but it became stronger, became a twinge and then indescribable pain which was getting stronger and stronger by the second and it sank into his muscles, and even ate through his bones and made him cry out in pain, as he squirmed in agony under the angel, who looked at him emotionless and focused at the same time.

"C-Cas! P-please...AHHH!...CASTIEL! STOP IT!"

The pain subsided somewhat, so far, that Dean could breathe properly again and he could look into the angel's still emotionless face.

"Where is Sam?" the Seraph wanted to know and his voice sounded so dark and scary that a feeling crept through Dean's body, which he had not felt in a long time: The feeling of indescribable fear.

Nevertheless, he gathered all his courage and looked at him defiantly.

"Fuck you Cas!"

Castiel just needed to narrow his eyes and the torment started all over again.

Dean screamed out in pain, squirmed like a worm underneath him and tried to free his arms, but Cas held him easily in place and tortured him more and more with his grace.

"C-Cas…please…stop…"

Dean just went black, as the pain seemed to roll over him like a tidal wave and he spat blood, when it had reached his lungs and he arched his back, tried to free himself from the strong grip, but it was useless. Castiel had him right where he wanted him and he would not let him go. Not until he knew where Sam was hiding.

But Dean would never give him this information!

No!

He would rather die here and now, as to deliver his little brother to that...that monster!

Heavily he tried to look into the face of his best friend, searched his eyes, hoping to see a spark from the Castiel in them, which he had once been, but there was nothing to see except hatred.

The pain slowly reached his heart, and Dean felt how it started to flicker.

He reared up in the strong grip of his friend and shouted the pain out of himself, as it had now spread all over his heart and made him see stars.

The hunter could see out of the corner of his eyes how the Seraph took back his sword and raised it over his chest. His wings were spread out, his feathers bristled and in Castiel's eyes the human could see that he was ready for anything.

And then everything happened very quickly.

Something came rushing from the side and bounced again Castiel and threw him down from Dean. The human slumped against the ground, spitting blood again and clutched his chest which was still burning, but the pain had already become somewhat weaker, because the angel could no longer concentrate his mojo on him.

He needed only a glance to know what had happened:

Gabriel had come back to him, and had thrown himself against his brother.

The two angels were on their feet again and fought bitterly against each other.

They attacked each other with their swords, their wings and their heavenly angel forces.

Then they rose into the air and continued their fight there.

Dean couldn't take his eyes off this spectacle.

It looked majestic and fearsome at the same time.

Gabriel was still very weak and had to protect himself from the attacks of his brother, who attacked him again and again. The wound on his leg Castiel seemed not to feel anymore, because his movements were fluid and focused at the same time and here and there he landed a few hits that Gabriel brought to crying. Especially, when the mighty sword of the seraphim now sliced through his right upper arm and left a deep wound.

For a moment the Archangel was unfocused and Castiel wanted to use this weakness to his advantage and he got ready to drill his sword through his chest and kill him, but something, that struck him on the side of his head, let him stumble and Gabriel got the opportunity to quickly escape to the side before the sword could reach him at all.

Castiel turned his eyes to Dean, who had thrown him something hard against the head. The anger in his eyes was incredible and a low growl came from his throat as he now turned his full attention to the hunter.

Dean's eyes were paralyzed with fear when he saw how the eyes of the angel began to glow. And in his hand appeared a kind of energy ball, which shone in the same blue as his eyes.

Desperately he tried to crawl away, to get up, but he was too weak and he threatened repeatedly to faint. But bravely he forced himself to keep his eyes open, which had widened in shock, as Castiel threw the energy ball in his direction. But at the very last moment, Gabriel threw himself in front of him and was hit by the energy ball, and he fell to the ground a few meters away where he remained motionless onto the ground.

"Shit! GABRIEL!"

Dean tried to crawl to the Archangel, but he just couldn't. Panting, he fell back against the ground, turned around onto his back with his last strength, just to see how Castiel formed a second energy ball and aimed it at him.

"No, Cas..."

It was only a whisper which left the lips of the hunter, because to more he was no longer capable of and he closed his eyes and prepared himself for his imminent death.

"DEAN!"

Immediately, Dean's eyes opened again and he turned his head to the side.

Also Castiel turned his head to the voice, and his eyes began to sparkle even more when he saw Sam, who stood with a shocked expression in the doorway to Bobby's house.

"Sammy. No! Get out of here!" Dean gasped and the pain seemed to gain the upper hand yet again over his body, because he collapsed and writhed.

Sam was about to start running and help his brother, as his eyes wandered to Castiel, who gave him such a ferocious grin, that the young hunter got the shivers and before he could react, an unknown power forced him to his knees and shortly thereafter the world went black before his eyes and he fainted.

"SAM!"

Dean's eyes widened in shock and he looked back to Castiel.

He saw how the anger returned in the angel's eyes and Dean also looked at him with so much anger and despair at the same time, but the seraphim seemed not to care in the least, because his gaze was dark and full of hatred and he aimed the energy ball at the hunter yet again, ready to kill him.

"You fucking bastard!" Dean cried with the last bit of his remaining strength, as Cas threw the ball in his direction.

He shut his eyes immediately, prepared himself for the indescribable pain and subsequent death to come, but nothing came. No pain, no death, nothing!

When he opened his eyes again, the blow almost hit him when he could see the black smoke that had intercepted the ball and kept it away from him. Then he heard footsteps behind him and he turned his head around and his jaw dropped open as he had recognized the figure in the black suit.

"Crowley!"

The demon curled his lips into a sardonic smile as he stood behind him.

"Hello boys…"
