Three- Amargosa Wastelands

Caleb looked over at Castiel, he had been wounded but showed no signs of slowing down. You could smell brimstone rising up from the desert floor. Thunderclouds clashed and lighting flashed. Castiel had shed his trench coat and tie. Pulling out his sword Castiel battled a demon that was coming up fast. He ducked and rolled slashing through the demon. Caleb struck one demon with his fist sending the demon to land on the ground. Then three more came at Caleb, Castiel flew up higher and higher coming to Caleb's side. They fought back to back. The rain poured down hard. Some of their comrades where wounded and surrounded. Castiel told Caleb I'll distract them and you wounded to safety.

Caleb disappeared in a split second. Castiel landed a few hundred yards from the fallen, the ground shook all around him. Castiel called the demon's out. They knew who he was and he would prove to be worth a great deal in the underworld. Many would love to get their hands on him. He had defied all the rules and had pulled a mortal from the pit. One really nasty demon looking smug, came straight at him. While demons encircled him. Castiel braced himself for attack. The wounded angels were starting to ascend back to safety as Caleb killed the remaining demons surrounding them. Castiel took the big guy easily enough. But was hit from both sides at the same time. He fought with everything he had. Caleb finishing his job came to assist Castiel. Four more angels joined the fight and together they fought for a full day and a night.

Castiel's body was wounded but it would heal soon enough. He stood atop of the highest peak of the mountains near the battlefield. They had lost only one of their kind this time. Castiel thought this battle would be considered a victory. But their success had come with a price. He enjoyed the rush of battle, but deeply regretted his friends death. A battle that never seemed to end. Castiel went and found the bodies of the students Jo had been looking for. He dug a grave and put them to rest, then he bowed his head to pray. A hand rested on Castiel's shoulder, it was Caleb. Victory my brother, and only one causality. It's ok to rejoice in that my friend. Adrian was a good solider, said Castiel. Caleb nodded his head in agreement. There was many more demons this time, Caleb said. The days are closer to and end, Castiel whispered. Castiel embraced his brother in arms, I have to be somewhere. Caleb caught his arm, wait Castiel. Come back with me. Castiel you haven't even fully healed yet. Caleb knew by the look on Castiel's face, his mind was set. Nothing Caleb could say, would change it. Still Caleb tried, whatever it is it can wait. Come celebrate with us. No Caleb, not this time.
