Damon's Bedroom

Castiel removed his hand from Rose's arm, and stepped back. Rose was still asleep, and Damon was still holding his breath. Cas turned toward the two men, hoping they would listen to him.

"I need a moment with her." Cas told them.

"Why?" Damon asked.

"Cas?" Dean also questioned him.

"I need to speak with her. She's healed, but give me a moment to speak to her."

Castiel looked serious, so finally the boys headed out of the room. He knew that Damon would try to listen, so as Rose awoke Cas made sure Damon would not be able to overhear them.

"What the..." Rose started.

"You're healed. I sent your friend and Dean downstairs for a moment."

"Who are you?"

"I am Castiel, and a friend of the Winchesters...more so Dean than Sam."

"What do you want with me?"

"There are things not even Dean needs to know right now...and I didn't do this only for him. I may be in need of your help in the future...and as a vampire you could be of use to me in regards to a certain problem we face."

"What? Look if this is some sort of deal I want no part in it, I'd rather you had let me die."

"Not to worry, no deal. You are healed, and will stay that way no matter if you help us or not. However, if you stay in contact with the Winchesters and give them some assistance when needed I can turn you back. This affects your kind as much as it affects humans."

"Back to what?"

"I can give you back your humanity."

Rose stared at him, was this guy serious?

"Think about it. You've always done well making contacts...we could really use your services in the future, especially with having a vampire on the inside."

She didn't answer him, and she was still confused...but humanity sounded so good. She looked back up at him, but he was gone.

Damon and Dean returned to the room...but Damon was the only one to make his way to her on the bed.

"It actually worked? You okay?"

"I feel fine." she told him. She then looked at Dean. "Who was that man?"

"Don't worry about Cas...he's a good guy...well not really guy but whatever."

"Dean, he wasn't human...I can tell."

"No, he isn't."

"Look I swear if you just had some sort of demon heal me, good or not, I will kill you myself."

Damon smirked...it was good to see Rose back to normal and full of spirit again.

"What's opposite of a demon?" Dean asked her.

"I don't...angel? No way Dean, those don't exist."

"I can promise you they do...and most of them are dicks...Cas being the exception."

"Right...are you insane?"

"Might be, but it's true. He's the one who pulled me out of hell, and after everything we've seen the past few years I can tell you that they do in fact exist."

Damon didn't react to anything Dean said, he was still surprised that she was alive. Rose couldn't find the words...she'd only prayed a few times as a kid, and after her mom's death and dealing with her father she couldn't believe in angels or God or really anything of a higher power. Yeah, she was one of those kids who thought that if angels did exist they wouldn't have let her suffer so much. However, what Dean said did make sense. She was a vampire, and there was no cure for the bite, yet here she was...and how else could Dean have been brought back?

"I need to go meet up with Sam. We need to have a conversation about the vampire issues in this town...and Cas seems to think that you're problems with these 'originals' may be connected to the problems we are having as well." Dean told them.

Dean turned to leave after getting a nod from Damon and Rose.

"Hey." Damon called after him. "Tell your friend thanks." Damon hated showing any vulnerability, especially to strangers...yet after the crazy evening he'd had he felt the need to at least say thanks. He needed Rose, even if he didn't want to admit it.

Dean nodded, and left.

llllllllllllllllllllllllll

Damon had spoke to Rose for a few minutes about everything before leaving her to get cleaned up. He then went to talk to Sheriff Forbes, and let her know he'd taken care of the vampire, and took care of the body too. Liz thanked him, and Dean then headed back to the boarding house. He'd been lucky that Rose wasn't recognized, and therefore he wouldn't have to go around compelling people to forget they'd seen her that night.

lllllllllllllllllllllllll

Motel, Night

Dean walked into the motel room, and Sam was sitting at the small desk on his laptop.

"So, is Bela..." Sam started, fully expecting Dean to say she was gone.

"Actually no, she's alive and well." Dean said. Sam first thought Dean was being a smart ass, but then noticed he was completely serious.

"Huh?"

"Well she kinda had a little help." Dean said. Sam gave him a questioning glance, so he continued. "Cas showed up."

"Cas? He showed up just to save Bela, or did you ask him to come?"

"No, he came on his own Sam. Said something about needing her help, I assume he wants a vampire on the inside of all this 'original/alpha, mother of all' crap."

"Huh. That's weird."

"No kidding."

"You seem relieved Dean...about Bela."

"I can't explain it okay...maybe if you'd seen what I saw tonight...she was different, she even apologized."

"You don't think she's playing us, or you, so you don't kill her?"

"Normally yeah, but she was dying Sam...she had no reason to lie."

"Never stopped her before...I'm not disagreeing with you Dean...I just think we should be aware."

"Got it Sammy, we'll keep an eye on her. But Cas seemed to think she was worth saving, so I say we go with it. Besides we got a hell of a lot more to worry about than whether Bela's still a bitch or not."

Sam nodded in agreement, letting it go.
