Chapter 9: New Will

Shocked, Sam stared at the colt, unable to speak.

"I discovered the location of the colt right before I met you in the parking lot," Castiel explained to Sam.

When the shock finally subsided, Sam said, "Why didn't you grab it before you met me?"

"Because you were desperate and I am only to oversee the trickster's death. I am not to touch the weapon."

"Why?" Sam was confused. Why wouldn't God allow him to touch the colt?

"God has his reasons, Sam. Enough talk. Grab the colt and let's go."

Sam obeyed and tucked the gun safely in his jacket. After he did so, Castiel closed the vault door, and they left.

Passing the two men previously possessed by demons, lying there on the floor, Sam asked, "Are they dead?"

"No," Castiel answered.

Once they stepped outside, Sam asked, "What now?"

Castiel almost seemed to be glad asked. "Now we go to your brother."

Castiel's POV, one hour earlier

After he left Gabriel, Castiel started searching for the colt. He walked down an empty street until he stood in front of an old, but relatively nice house. When he started walking up the steps, lights inside the house started to turn on. A few seconds later, a man with a gun stepped out of the house.

"What do you want?" The man asked aiming his gun at Castiel's head.

Castiel stopped ascending and said, "I'm here to talk about Bella."

The man lowered his gun and stared at Castiel with disbelief. "You know my daughter? My daughter never had any friends."

"I do know your daughter."

"Well then you'll be said to know that she's been dead for almost a year."

"I already know. I have come to ask you where she was buried."

"Why do you want to know that?"

"So I can pay my respects."

The man seemed to be studying Castiel, trying to figure out if he was trust worthy. After a minute he hesitantly said, "It was an old church off of Pinewood Drive. The name of the church is Saint Augustine."

"Thank you." And with that, Castiel descended the few stairs he had climbed. When he was a good distance away, he vanished and appeared in front of the church that Bella's father had told him about.

He was about to walk in when a voice called out, "Castiel! I know you can hear me! Please, I want to talk to you!"

Castiel could tell that it was Sam calling him. He knew the colt was inside the old church, but getting it would require one of the Winchester boys anyway, so he left. Appearing twenty feet away from the young Winchester, he said, "Sam."

Upon hearing his name, Sam spun around. Castiel could see the relief in his eyes.

Alastair's POV

Alastair was furious, so he started pacing around the hall, right outside of the vault.

"You need to kill the trickster. He has been very naughty." Alastair looked up from his fury to see Lilith walking towards him.

"I would be glad to, but where are we going to find another one as powerful as he is?"

"We will find one." Lilith said looking at Alastair with her white eyes. A smile was slowly forming itself on her lips. "And I know where to find one."

The trickster's POV

After his encounter with Alastair, he wasn't taking any chances, so the trickster went to the church where he knew the colt had to be. He walked inside and to towards the vault. As he approached the steel door he heard what sounded like Alastair and Lilith talking. Looking from around a corner he saw both of them talking of how they were going to dispose of him. He knew then that the colt was probably in the Winchester's hands now and he was in trouble.

Leaving the way he came in he decided that he was going to find the gun and kill Alastair, and maybe Lilith too if he could get her to stay still for two seconds. He wasn't going to be a demon's slave.
