Here is chapter 8! Hope you enjoy it! It's not a very long one. Just kinda a little bit of random conversation between the hunter and angel. It'll get exciting soon!

And I still do NOT own Supernatural or the characters. :(

Chapter 8

Sam and Dean stood off to the side while Castiel and Alexandria stared at each other. The brothers tried to wonder what they were thinking. Castiel, maybe still felt guilty for what he had done. Alexandria maybe felt hurt, confused, and probably overwhelmed by everything she had to take in today. There once again was a since that all four of them felt uncomfortable by.

"I don't believe this." said whispered to Dean.

"I think everyone in this room could agree to that." replied Dean.

The brothers wanted to say something, but they were unsure what they should say.

"So, um... Cas. Alexandria is your child, like how all of you and the rest of the angels are God's children?" asked Dean trying to find the right words.

"Yes, Dean." replied Castiel.

"Then, how many children do you have, Cas?" asked Sam.

Castiel looked at the younger Winchester. His expression seemed to lift just a little bit. He then looked back to Alexandria who looked at Castiel waiting for an answer.

"Alexandria is my only child." he then stated.

Alexandria started feeling like her head was about to explode.

"I need some air." she coldly said. She then walked outside and sat on top of a small hill just on the side of the barn. She closed her eyes and thought about her time with the Collins.

Dean and Sam walked to Castiel. Both hunters had questions to ask the angel.

"You doing okay?" Dean asked.

Castiel looked to Dean. He had thought Alexandria died, still, he nodded his head to Dean.

"I don't know how else to make her understand. She is scared of me." Castiel said with disappointment.

"Give her some time. She'll come around, I'm sure." said Sam.

"Why'd you tell her the truth?" Dean bluntly asked.

Sam shot Dean a curious look. He knew Dean had a tendency to talk without thinking, but he seemed to be doing it more with the angel now.

"What do you mean?" asked the confused angel.

"You could have lied and said no. Or have just not tell her at all. It could have spared all the heartache the two of you feel now. So why tell the truth?"

Dean was trying to prove something to Castiel. And even he himself didn't know what it was.

"Because... because I love her, Dean. You and Sam taught me to never lie to those I love." Castiel replied with an innocent look. Sam seemed to be taken back by his answer. In a strange way, he felt proud of himself.

The three men stood with a slight smile. Afterall, they were the closest thing to family they each had. Maybe adding one more to it could be a good thing.

"So how does she get her power back?" asked Dean.

"I just need to give her the rest of her grace. Although, I do need her permission to do that." he replied.

"I'm sure we could convince her to do it." said Dean.

"No." Castiel suddenly said. Sam and dean looked at Castiel in confusion.

"I want the best for her, Dean. Being an Angel is very unpleasant most of the time. I believe being human would make her most happy."

Sam looked at Dean who was speechless. Sam looked at Castiel with his familiar puppy eyes.

"Look, Cas. We know you'd protect Alex with your life, but don't you think that should be both yours and her decision?"

Castiel thought about it for a few seconds before nodding his head in agreement. He walked closer to the brothers. With a smile on his face, he told them how grateful he was.

"Thank you. Both of you."

Before he could continue, Dean stopped him.

"Cas? No chick-flick moments."

Sam gave a slight chucked to Castiel's confused look.

"What he means to say is, you're welcome." said Sam with a smile.

The three men stood there smiling at one another. Soon, Castiel's smile suddenly became a look of worry. Something, or someone was approaching. His eyes suddenly grew wide in fear.

"Crowley! He's here!" Castiel yelled.

Suddenly from outside, they heard a scream from Alexandria. The three ran outside to the scream. They only saw Alexandria being controlled by one of Crowley's demons and Crowley standing there himself.

"Nice to see you boys, but i best be off now." he grimly said.

Just like that, Crowley, the demon, and Alexandria were gone.
