A/N: I still don't own anything you recognise….And I'm still amazingly bored…
"I
don't need a lot of things.
I can get by with nothing.
But
all the blessings life can bring.
I've always needed
something.
But I've got all I want when it comes to loving
you.
You're my only reason.
You're my only truth..."
I
Need You- LeAnne Rimes.
Dean
had been screaming himself hoarse for the last two hours. Screaming
for Castiel to come and help him. To help Hannah.
"You son of a
bitch Castiel. She needs you now more then ever. She loves you. And
you refuse to come down and save her. Well you must be as shallow as
I thought" He turned around to go back into the house but turned
around "You know, I have no idea why Hannah wastes her time pining
on you. It's not like you will ever prove or show her how much you
love her. If you even do" His throat was finally beginning to hurt
as he turned around again.
"I do love her" A smooth
voice stated from behind him. Dean once again turned around and came
face to face with Castiel "Then come on Cass. She needs you" He
stated to the angel. Castiel wrestled with his inner judgement. He
had been warned not to interfere with anything that was about to
happen with Hannah, although Zachariah was tight lipped about what
was going to happen. He had been threatened with him finally falling
if he did interfere.
"…..No" Castiel stated. Zachariah's
threat finally scaring him enough to actually refuse to help Hannah.
The one remarkable woman who had made him feel things he had never
thought possible.
Dean
stared at the angel in shock "What?" He asked in disbelief. Never
in a hundred years would he think that Castiel would refuse to help
Hannah.
"I can't help her" Castiel said a little more
clearly.
"No. Screw you Castiel. You need to help her. I know
you love her. You just told me so yourself. She is in so much pain at
the moment. What has you so scared that you won't even help her?"
Dean was up in Castiel's face by this point. But the angel was
unmoving "What would you have me do to help her?" He asked.
"I
don't know. Anything. Please Cass. Please just save her" Dean
begged. He would do anything Castiel asks him to do if only he does
this one favour for him. Save Hannah.
Castiel seemed to
contemplate this for a moment but his decision was still the same
"No. If I help her, we will all be hunted and killed. Especially
Hannah" He stated harshly.
Dean shook his head "If anything is
worth dying for Cass. It's saving someone you love" He tried so
hard to plead with Castiel. But the angel seemed to stick by his
earlier decision "I can't…."He felt his heart break as he
said those words.
Turning away, Dean turned his head and looked
at Castiel "You know, I stand by my earlier statement. You can't
love Hannah enough if you can actually bare to see her in pain" He
turned his head back around and walked into the house.
Castiel
stood rooted to the spot.
He regretted everything he had just
said and done.
Hannah
let out a small scream as the pain in her head continued. The voices
echoed through her head.
The
time is almost here
"How
long do you think this will go on for?" Sam asked as he looked up
from the book he was reading.
Sweat was falling down Hannah's
face.
Bobby shook his head and patted his daughter's forehead
with a damp washcloth "I don't know" He looked up as Dean
walked into the room, a scold on his face. "How'd it go?" Bobby
asked from the table he was sitting on.
"He won't do it. Don't
know why. But he just won't" Dean looked worriedly at Hannah as
her hands flew up to her head.
"Oh my God!" She shouted "Make it stop" She continued to scream "Castiel. Please" She begged with her eyes squeezed tightly shut.
Bobby
looked down at his little girl. Seeing how much pain she was in.
Seeing how she begged for Castiel.
Dean rummaged through his
duffle bag and pulled out a small bottle of pills. Tipping two into
his open palm, he handed them to Bobby "Give these too her. They'll
make her sleep". The older man didn't ask why Dean had sleeping
pills, but he knew when Dean was ready to talk, he will.
Helping
Hannah to sit upright, Bobby asked his daughter to open her mouth
"Hannah. Can you open your mouth for me?".
Hannah nodded and
did as she was told. Her father quickly placed the pills in her mouth
and made her drink some water on the table.
She swallowed the
pills and laid back down, her eyes slowly closing "Where's Cass?"
She mumbled tiredly.
Bobby stroked his daughter's hair "He's
not coming" He told her. Hannah felt the voices growing louder but
her eyes falling shut.
Her heart feeling the pain as she realised
her angel wasn't saving her this time.
**
The grass was luscious and green. Children played on the play
equipment. Squealing as they chased each other. The sound of
innocence.
Hannah sat on the brown wooden bench, sitting Indian
position. Her mahogany hair blowing gracefully in the wind.
Here
there were no voices. In her dreams her mom never died. She never
hunted.
She was normal.
The feeling of calm was broken when
she felt another presence. Turning to her left, she saw Castiel
sitting next to her.
"Don't…" She started before he could
even begin to speak.
Castiel understood how angry she was at him
for not being there for her "There's something you need to know"
He began.
"I don't care anymore Castiel. You weren't there.
I'm suffering…" She pointed to her temple.
"For
millennia. We have wondered how a certain prophecy would come about…"
Castiel started anyway, not really caring if she was listening or
not. But he was praying she was.
Hannah shook her head
and continued to watch the children play "So?" She mumbled as she
rested her arms along her leg.
"Only
the child of Wednesday shall be guided by Thursday" He
finished.
"So?" Hannah repeated, un-crossing her legs and
stretching them out in front of her.
Castiel turned and faced her
"You were born on a Wednesday Hannah" He pointed out.
"Me
and millions of other people" She turned to watch her mother
sitting on a bench rocking a baby in her arms. Her.
Castiel
followed her line of sight and smiled softly "She watches over you
every second of the day Hannah. Never doubt that" He said as if he
had read her mind.
"What
does the prophet mean?" Hannah changed the subject from her mother
and returned to what Castiel was speaking to her about
earlier.
Castiel looked down "Ever since you were a child. The
angel of Thursday has been watching over you. Protecting you from
harm"
"Okay…And who is that?" Hannah stared at Castiel's
blue eyes.
He wanted to tell her, everything "It's me"
Hannah didn't look in the least but shocked "That doesn't
really surprise me much" She gave a small scoff "But you must
watch over loads of people. What makes me so special?"
"I
only look after those who were born on Thursday. Which, under normal
circumstances, shouldn't include you" Castiel explained.
Hannah
nodded "And in normal circumstances, my angel would be…."
"Uriel"
Castiel finally looked away "It took me a while. But the second I
saw you in that classroom. Hearing the voices. I knew. So did
Zachariah and the other angels"
"Explains
why he was so hesitant to kill me" Hannah mumbled to herself.
Castiel nodded "I'm sorry I can't help you Hannah" He
said quietly "But love is a sin. And what I feel for
you…"
"Curiosity isn't a sin" Hannah pointed out.
Castiel nodded and bowed his head "The things you have taught me
over the past few weeks. Over the course of your whole life" Hannah
knew he wasn't directly talking to her now. But she still chose to
listen and put her two cents in whenever necessary.
"What I
feel for you is beyond love" He finished.
Hannah let a smile
cross her face. She he did love her. And he admitted it. Her heart
gave a jolt of happiness "The problem is…?"
Castiel looked
away "I gave up on love a long time ago Hannah. You know that" He
argued.
Hannah
shot up from her seat "Cass. C'mon, I mean…." She was lost
for words.
Castiel stood up, placed a hand on her cheek and lent
in to kiss her. By the way he did it; careful, soft, unsure. Hannah
wasn't sure if it was to comfort her or if he really meant it.
The
kiss wasn't deep. But it had passion. Castiel didn't want to
leave her again, but he also didn't want to fall from
grace.
Breaking apart, Castiel stared into her grey eyes "You
need to remember that I may never be here. But I'm always here"
He placed his hand over her heart**
