Stars
AN: Fluffy chapter based on the song "Stars" sung by Russell Crow in Les Mis. I do not own the bolded lyrics. The bulk of the story is in Sam's point of view. There will be another chapter posted tomorrow since this is just a short fluffy chapter! But do enjoy still, it holds a good amount of information!
Sam lay awake while both his sibling slept soundly around him. Castile had begun singing to Tara as she slept in her portable sleeper. As the angel's rough voice continued to sing, weirdly well, a lullaby Sam imagined a young Castiel's caretaker would sing to him, Sam began to understand a couple things he was confused about before.
There, out in the darkness
a fugitive running
Fallen from god
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
till we come face to face
till we come face to face
The fugitive had to be Abaddon, running from everyone trying to find her. She once was an angel, at least that is what I've read on Wikipedia about her. Guess it makes sense though; Lucifer once was an angel too.
I expected Castiel to want to find Abaddon as well because Dean wanted to find her, but to hear Castiel was so serious about this did shock me- how long has she been on the run?
He knows his way in the dark
Mine is the way of the Lord
Those who follow the path of the righteous
shall have their reward
and if they fall
As Lucifer fell
the flames
the sword!
He says his way is God's, but Castiel has been down with us for years now, and God's been MIA for even longer, unless he is also tracking down Abaddon. But flames and swords- the Michael sword! Dean, e's always been Michael's true vessel. And now he's got the only thing that can kill Abaddon – again he is holding the only weapon to kill our problems. Why does it always have to be Dean?
Stars
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
filling the darkness
with order and light
you are the sentinels
Silent and sure
keeping watch in the night
keeping watch in the night
Maybe they are the key, Ashley is always going on about us listening to them, maybe she isn't nearly as crazy as we joke her to be. But Castiel could count them if he really wanted to, hell he could talk to these silent guards. Of course they have seen her; no one can hide from the sky and what's in them. The only think is hoping they talk about it.
You know your place in the sky
you hold your course and your aim
and each in your season
Returns and returns
and is always the same
and if you fall as Lucifer fell
you fall in flame!
But you have to be breathing, in a sense, to be a guard or solider. So, Heaven's standards are probably pretty high, so as long as Castiel can get to the right section of eyes, we know where Abaddon is! Dean can keep up his end of the bargain and toss her ass back into the eternal flames. Then we can get that mark off of Dean and get rid of the 7 Princes of Hell next! How come Castiel hasn't mentioned this already? Or did he?
And so it must be, for so it is written
on the doorway to paradise
that those who falter and those who fall
must pay the price!
Paradise, we all deserve it! I mean we stopped the Apocalypse, killed countless demons, and saved so many people. Yeah we have all been to Hell at least once and Dean and I have seen the inside of Purgatory, but at the same time we have also been to Heaven. If you ask me, getting rid of Abaddon will earn a free pass for all Dean's family, even those not born, to Paradise!
Lord, let me find him
that I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
till then
this I swear
this I swear by the stars!
No Cas, Abaddon can't just be put in Heavenly lock up, we have to let Dean kill her, it's the only way we can free him and cure him of this damn curse!
Ashley moved in her sleep, closer to Sam and breaking his concentration. "Cas?" Sam whispered once it was clear she was asleep again.
"Yes Sam?" Castiel asked as he made his way over to the source of the noise.
"That song? Who is it about?"
Castiel sat down on the floor across from the dark green eyes that were still open despite how early it was. Before opening his mouth to answer he instead sifted through Sam's most recent thoughts. Castiel didn't want to abuse his power, so he rarely did this.
As he searched he could hear his own voice singing the song Michael once sang to him back before the dawn of time, when he was still Tara's age himself. "You were right about everything" Castiel whispered aloud as he went through Sam's take on the lyrics. "Abaddon has been on the run as long as Lucifer fell. They both jumped at the same time, just went down different paths and only one was special enough to get taught in Sunday schools."
"Would the stars know where she is?" Sam asked the distraught angel.
"Perhaps, if the Sentinels have been at their posts. I have intended to ask, all I need to do is find my way amongst the many towers. It will take time and I will not be able to watch you three during that time."
"Of course, Cas, I understand" Sam said before he began his quest. "Let us know if you need anything."
"Thank you, Sam."
