Castiel had run off in the middle of the song, but couldn't have gotten far. What's up with him? There he is. Just up ahead

Castiel sat down under a nearby willow tree.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Cas jumped and turned to face me. He looked like a puppy with his tail between his legs.

"You shouldn't be here." He said.

"Neither should you! C'mon let's go back."

"Listen, I don't know what your problem is, but I'm not falling for that!" He got angry all of a sudden. What did I do?

"Problem? Castiel what are you talking about?"

"Pretending to be nice, drawing me in, just so you can dump my sorry ass when better opportunities come!"

"I don't know what you're talking about and frankly I'm offended that you think I'm like that."

"Yeah whatever. God, why can't you just leave me be?"

"Cas, what's going on? I don't like when you're in a bad mood, plus I don't even know what I did wrong!"

"So?"

"So, tell me. I'm not a mind reader Cas, tell me what's wrong. What did I do?" Cas wasn't angry anymore, he looked broken. He looked up at me, sad and longing.

"God, Robin. You came into my life like a fucking wrecking ball. I promised myself I wouldn't fall for anyone, not after Deborah. But you had to come along and tear down every fuckin' wall I put up." I was shocked. Was he confessing to me? He was looking at the ground. He sat back down and I knelt in front of him. He grabbed me by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes. Then scowled and looked away.

"Cas, I care about you. Really," I leaned in and hugged around his neck, "but if you want me to leave you alone…" Castiel moved closer and hugged me around the waist.

"I think it would be best if you just don't associate with me. I'm sure I'll just end up hurting you." He let go and we stood up.

"If that's what you want." My voice cracked betraying my sorrow. I gave him a watery smile. He sighed.

"I'm going home I guess." I got out my phone to text Tag that I would walk and turned to start walking.

"Hey, you shouldn't walk by yourself. I'll walk with you." I didn't say anything. I just kept my head down as we walked. He walked next to me, unspeaking. As we approached my house Cas turned to me and stopped.

"What?"

"I'm sorry." He leaned down and kissed my cheek before turning and walking over to his house across the street. Wait I'm so confused.

~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~

"Ok, c'mon, get up!" What? "Rob get up!"

"What time is it?"

"Like 9:30 pm, now get up!"

"Why?"

"Because you're on the coffee table. Girl what happened? I got a text from you, then find you asleep on the coffee table half an hour later. Now tell me, what's up?" I sat up, feeling stiff now. She looked at me and softened. Her frown, however, was obvious. "Rob, did you get in a fight with Cas?"

"It wasn't really a fight. Tag he's broken. Someone broke him."

"Excuse me?"

"Some girl named Deborah. She used him. She broke him. He thinks he'll hurt me."

"Hun, I'm sorry." Hun. She always called me that, even in elementary school when Willi Thompson pushed me down and got mud on my outfit.

"Yeah, well that's not all. He wants me to stay away, but he walked me home. And I'm so confused because he kissed me even though he said he wanted me to keep my distance and Tag I'm so confused. I don't know what to think, I don't know what he wants," I was getting hysterical and I could feel the tears welling up.

"Hun, let me ask you something," I looked up, "what do you want?"

The next week at school went by fast. Finals were coming up but I couldn't seem to concentrate. I didn't speak to Castiel at all, but caught him watching me on occasion with a sad expression. Lysander looked worried about us and approached me that Thursday.

"Robin, will you tell me what's wrong? You and Castiel have been distant all week and I am concerned. I haven't seen Castiel like this since Deborah and he won't tell me anything." He paused, "I can only assume it has something to do with you by the way he looks at you in the halls." He didn't say anything else, obviously waiting for a response. I sighed.

"He wants me to keep my distance, so that's what I'm doing. He says he doesn't want either of us getting hurt." Lysander let out an exasperated sigh.

"Castiel has always been rash. I can see that this was not the best solution. Perhaps I will try to speak with him again."

"No, please… this is what he said he wants."

"Well even I can see that he was lying. What he wants is you. I must admit he was quite smitten since you attacked him with that door the first day you transferred." He gave a light smile and I chuckled at the memory of when I first met Red. Maybe Lys was right.
"Well I'll allow you to ponder that. I have to go study."

"Study?"

"Well the finals are tomorrow. Hmm. Where did I leave my notebook?" He walked away, leaving me to panic at my airheaded-ness. I hadn't been paying attention all week. I ran around the school looking for a quiet place to study.

"Hahaha!" ? That sounded like Castiel. I turned around to see him smirking at me, but quickly turned away when I noticed him. He was watching me run around like a chicken with its head cut off, and laughing at me! I walked over cautiously.

"Forget where you made your nest Birdie?" He chuckled a bit. "You know I thought you'd be studying right about now."

"Yeah well everywhere I go…" You dropped your sentence and looked around the hall.

"Is that so? Well you know I think the school yard is empty." Was Red being helpful? He followed me outside and I looked at him questioningly.

"Never mind, I'm here."

"Um…"

"I don't think I've seen anyone run around this school as much as you have." He said snickering.

"Well maybe if people didn't make everything so difficult, I wouldn't have to." I sighed playfully.

"I like seeing you struggle." He was in a good mood. What had happened? Maybe Lys really did talk with him. But in such a short amount of time? I walked back inside, looking for a quiet place to go over my notes, and failed. I headed back outside to see Castiel standing against the big sycamore.

"I can't find anywhere else to study, do you-"

"Hey alright. I'll leave." He held up his hands in surrender and smiled at me, then walked off campus through the gates. I sat down and began to look over my history notes. 10 minutes passed.

"Hey, look up." I looked up to see Castiel holding a package with food. "It's not good to study on an empty stomach." Cas sat down next to me as I studied. I couldn't concentrate too well with him right there.

Finals were easier than I thought they would be. And now it was summer break. Tag and I always travel one week of summer break and this year we decided to go to Scotland. After the rest Castiel and Iris approached Tag and myself.

"Hey Iris, Cas." Tag scowled slightly as she said 'Cas,' like it left a bad taste in her mouth.

"Hey, so a bunch of students are getting together for a beach party on Saturday, you wanna come?" Asked Iris cheerfully and completely oblivious to the tension radiating from Tag. She was still sore about what Cas had said to me the day we were at the club.

"This Saturday? Hey Rob, uh, when do we leave?" She totally forgot.

"Monday. 5:00."

"Sweet we'll be there." She totally ignored Castiel as she said this.

We spent the next day and a half packing all you things for the trip. Our trips usually consisted of tropical scenery and tan men, but the reason we traveled was art. For as long as I can remember, I've been writing music and sketching. The beautiful scenery of the places we went always helped me to think of something new and creative. Tag doesn't write music, but she loves to paint. She plays all sorts of drums and always helps me with my music. From a young age my asshat parents had me learning instruments, which I suppose worked out in the long-run. Score 1 out of everything. First it was piano, then they became obsessed. Violin, flute, saxophone, and finally guitar. My parents owned a successful three-branch business. Music was one of the branches so I've always had access to instruments. My sketching didn't take off until about fourth grade. I had gotten a hold of a sketch pad and started drawing the windows of the school, bars and all. It wasn't until I met Ryo and Hitch that I found my talent for drawing people. Now, whenever I meet someone I like, I memorize their face so I can draw it later. I never tell them that I've drawn them of course, that's kinda creepy. They have to find out themselves. Lysander became jealous of Castiel when he saw me drawing the red head after hitting him with the door. What he doesn't know is that I've drawn him at least four times.

I don't remember what all we packed but it included more than enough clothing – Tag was always worried we'd run out of clothes before the vacation ended – my Kirk Hammett guitar, a violin, Tag's drumsticks, my sketchpad, and other necessities. This would be fun.

Tag had let up on Castiel a bit, resorting not to calling him every half hour and trying to convince him to ask me out and ultimately fighting with him over the phone calling him a 'sitspinkler' when he refused.

The next day we put on our swimsuits and headed to the beach. Tag wore an ivory one-piece with no sides or back. The top and bottom, connected only by a small strip of fabric down her stomach. Around her waist was a bright blue, floral patterned wrap that hung short like a miniskirt. Mine was a two piece green and blue bikini top with booty shorts. The straps of the stop decorated with two blue beads and a small metal chain hanging at the bottom of my ribcage. (check out my page for pictures of all the outfits I mention.) It was cute, but over it I wore a wrap skirt to cover my back, like a dress.

"Ready Rob?" She stepped into my room and frowned. "Really? Girl, you can't hide them forever." Her cocoa skin peaking from behind the swimsuit.

"I can try though." She rolled her eyes at this, knowing my ways.

"Ok, let's go. Hey, bring your acoustic. There's going to be a campfire tonight." I looked at her, wondering how she knew that. "Iris told me." She said reading my mind. That makes sense. I grabbed my guitar from off the bed.

At the beach we found Rosa, who lead us over to the group. Lysander stood looking at the ocean while Rosa ran around with Iris, splashing water and giggling. Castiel sat in the sand with his dog Demon, along with Armin and Leigh who both sat under the umbrella. Alexy and Kentin stood to the right of Lysander, talking. It was really sunny and the wind was slow. The day was just starting to heat up. Tag set down her stuff next to Leigh and slayed out her towel. I set my things next to hers, making sure the guitar would not get covered in sand. I noticed that Nathaniel was nowhere to be seen, neither was Amber or her friends. Rosa ran up to me excited to see my guitar.

"Are you going to play for us? I hope you don't mess up."

"Well not until later. I heard there would be a campfire tonight."

"Ah! Really?! That's so exciting. You know, now that I think about it, Armin brought some conga drums with him, which makes sense now."

"What?" Came Armin's distracted voice. Hi was clicking away on a hand-held game system.

"Nothing!" Shouted Rosa, without batting an eye. She then proceeded to drag me over to the water with Iris and Tag who had gotten up to play with Iris. I heard Castiel chuckle as he watched me struggle against Rosa's grip. Damnit Cas, don't laugh at me, get your ass over here and help! Five minutes went by and Tag had started a flirtatious conversation with Kentin. I had managed to escape the water before my wrap was soaked.

"Hey Robin!" Came Alexy's excited voice.

"Hey Alexy! How's it going?" Iris had started a game of volleyball with Rosa, Cas, Tag, and Kentin.

"Well not much, Armin forced me to play Call of Duty all day yesterday. Hey your shoulders are kinda red, did you put on sunscreen?"

"Hmm? Oh no I didn't. I don't thing Tag brought any either. I'll just go buy some from the vendor."

"Ok, well I'll talk to you later then, you should go do that." I walked off to find the vendor. It took a while because it was a large beach. I finally found him and bought the sunscreen that I needed. I was on my way back to the group when I was stopped by a young man with tattoos and a surfboard.

"hey there, why don't you come and hang out with me?"

"I was just about to go back to my friends."

"Just forget about them, I'm more fun!" He grabbed my arm and started to take me over to his friends.

"You know I would have loved some waves the ones in Australia are way better." He chatted on like we were good friends.

"Hey, let go of me!" I yanked my arm away." I don't know who you are, but I'm not following you anywhere!"

"C'mon I'm more fun than-"

"Hey! She said no, now let her go." I turned around to see Castiel standing behind me.

"Hey, chill out Red. You know this guy?" Said the surfer. Come to think of it I didn't even know his name.

"Yeah, he's my friend." The guy started to chuckle.

"C'mon Robin, let's go."

"Oh, Robin, you don't really want to go with Red do you? Serious?" We walked away.

"You can't let people do that. You should have just said no and walked away." Was Cas, scolding me?

"That's what I was trying to do."

"That's not what it looked like." He sighed, "Now look, you're getting a sunburn. Sit down and I'll put sunscreen on your shoulders." He sat me down and took the sunscreen. I could hear Tag laughing nearby. He was about to untie my wrap to get at the backs of my shoulders when,

"Wait!"

"Ah! What? Jeez, you scared me."

"Um, you don't have to, I mean, not my back. I'll have Tag do it."

"C'mon, just sit still, it's no big deal."

"No really. I's a bigger deal than you think." After that he left my wrap alone. He probably thought I was just a huge prude. He did my shoulders and handed me the bottle.

"Ok, you can do the rest."

Several hours passed and it began to get dark. 8:20.

Castiel went off with Kentin and Iris to find sticks to start a fire and Lysander brought out some firewood from his brother's car. Tag couldn't start a fire if her life depended on it, but she tried anyway. I walked away a bit and began to tune my guitar. Alexy came over and tuned his drums with me. When that was done we walked back to the group.

"I didn't know you played guitar."

"I didn't know you played conga drums."

"Tou che!" For the next hour the group played all sorts of party games and jumped around the fire to Alexy's drums, adding logs on occasion and roasting marshmallows. At 9:30 Rosa blurted,

"Scary stories! That's the one thing we're forgetting, is scary stories!" I had been lightly plucking at my guitar but when she said this I hit a hard minor chord for emphasis.

"No, we shouldn't, I don't like scary stories!" Iris cried.

"I'll start." Suggested Castiel.

"Cas? No, c'mon!" Iris hit his arm and he chuckled.

"Hey Birdie, play something dark." Background music, good idea. I started playing a low, lulling melody of light suspenseful plucks and minor chords, repeating this pattern multiple times before changing it slightly, alternating between A and B patterns.

"You may have heard this one. It happened nearly 10 years ago in this very town, in those very woods." Cas began darkly, pointing to the forest near the beach. "It happened to a group of friends who went camping, it all started on the first day of school for the new girl, Anna bella." He was trying to psych me out by saying she was new, so corny.

"She walked into the class…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The story begins to tell it's self now. It switches back and forth.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Class, this is Annabella, she's new here and I would like all of you to make her feel welcome!" Said the science teaher.

"There's an open desk next to John you can sit at."

"At the time, Annabella thought of nothing more than his attractive physique and personality, she had no idea this meeting would change her life." Castiel was speaking quietly. Looking down sadly, like he had known her as a personal friend.

"John was in all of her classes, so he helped her around school and they became friends, she met good people at that school. Well, at least she thought they were good people.

Four days had gone by and finally it was Friday.

"Hey Annie, wait up!" John said running after her as she walked to school. "Me and my friends are going to camp out in the woods tomorrow, up on Dead Man's Peak, wanna come with?

"If it had been anyone else, I'm sure Annabella would have said no. I don't know if you've heard the story of Dead Man's Peak, but at this point, a new story was already being written that would make the original seem like a game of candy land." Everyone at Amoris had heard the story.

"YES! Eerrrrmmm… I would love to." Blurted Annabella. With an adorable smile John replied,

"Thanks, and we'll come to your house around 3 on Saturday, can't wait to see you then."

Saturday finally came around and John and his friends that Annabella hadn't met yet showed up at her house. She grabbed her backpack, hugged her little brother and left. It was an hour walk before they reached Dead Man's Peak and about 15 minutes then to the clearing where they would camp. By then Annie had gotten to know John's friends, the twins Mark and Macey, John's best friend Connor, and Connor's girlfriend Sophie. A minute later Mark stopped and said,

"Hey guys, check this out! There's a house over here!" He pointed to an old cabin style house.

"Yeah dude, we can all see that. Why do you think it's called Dead Man's Peak?" Connor exclaimed.

"What do you mean? Did something happen?" Asked Annie, who now got stares. So John started to explain about Old Man Silvertooth who was murdered in his home…

"People claim to see his ghost but before they get any information out of em'… They DISSAPEAR!" Castiel shouted and Iris jumped, falling back as Castiel laughed.

"Not COOL!" Iris screeched.

"Ahahahaha!" Castiel was laughing and it took him a while to regain himself in order to continue the story. "ok, ok. Woo… I'm good." He said gasping. "Ok, I'll continue."

"Please don't." Iris whispered, but sat back down in the circle of people.

The girls went to their tent and the boys to theirs, after some chat they went to sleep. Annie was woken by a loud scream that morning. Turns out it had just been Macey after the boys saw her with bed-head. After some encouraging Macey came out of hiding and they all went for a hike in the woods. They lost track of time and soon ti began to get dark. They found themselves lost and trying to find their way back. So they split up into two groups and decided to radio each other if one group found the campsite. Mark, Macey, Connor, and Sophie went in one direction, John and Annabella in another. What they didn't realize was that they had entered the last few hours of their lives. On the walkie-talkie they heard Mark's voice saying

"Guys, Macey, Sophie, and I all made it back."

"We're still lost," replied John, "wait, where's Connor?" Connor had gone with Sophie. Just then Connor came running out of the bushes with blood running down his face. Connor collapsed and that's when they realized, Mark hadn't responded.

"Sophie, they know. They…" Connor died. It took some coaxing to get John to move when they remembered what he had said. Did Sophie do this? What about Mark and Macey? What did they know? That's when they spotted Old Man Silvertooth's house.

"Camp must be close." They heard a scream from the direction of camp. It was Macey. The screaming got louder as Annie and John ran towards it to find Macey tied to a tree.

"Mark and Sophie are CRAZY!" She screamed. "Wait where's Connor?" They didn't have to say anything before Sophie realized, "Connor's dead?" Mark and Sophie had taken all the supplies. Annie suggested they to the house for safety. They made their way over and broke in because the door was locked. It started to rain just as they entered the cabin-like house.

They had believed it to be abandoned, but found that the lights were on inside. Macey walked off to find a place to sleep. Half an hour went by and they started to get concerned about Macey so they walked around the house, searching for her. They went upstairs to find that Macey had been hung from a rusty chain attached to the ceiling fan, cuts covering her body and a large gash over her throat. Now only John and Annie remained in the house, at least that's what they thought.

Everyone was leaning in to hear as Castiel's voice got quiet. My playing followed suit, dimming and stopping. Then as Castiel continued, so did my playing, changing to a four note pattern, never changing from this rhythm.

It was still storming and they went to explore the house for answers. John grabbed a metal pipe from a nearby lamp. He wanted revenge. Annie copied him, finding another pipe and gripping it, white knuckled.

"Annie no," he hugged her tight, "I don't want to lose you too." They didn't want to let each other go. Then a man dressed in all black crept from the shadowy corner of the room holding a bloody knife.

"Oh my god, it's Aaron! Mark and Macey's older brother!" Yelled John.

"Guys are you there?" It was Sophie, "Mark is insane! He killed Connor!" While Annie talked to Sophie, trying to gauge her trustworthiness, John focused his attention on Aaron.

"I thought you were dead, three years ago, they found your body!" Yelled John, "You were burned alive!"

"Well that's the point," Aaron said with a chuckle, "this way I would never get caught."

"So all those people disappearing…" started John. Aaron began to toy with him. They bolted. Annie and John sped out of the house but John tripped on a log. He told Annie to keep going.

"She ran and ran until finally climbing up in that tree." My music had gotten frantic for this scene and Castiel pointed to a large sycamore tree who's branches were knotted and started high. "But the branch broke, see it there? So then Annie ran more, but she couldn't shake Aaron."

"Annabella, just give up!"

"Was this trip just to get us all you here to die?" Annie cried suddenly.

"Annie, my dear little child, you weren't supposed to be here, but yes, it was all a ruse. You , Annabella, are just a bonus kill for me." Aaron tripped and hit his head, so Annie stopped, thinking it was finally over. Just as she thought this, Aaron got up. Annie slipped as she turned to run. It was too late. Aaron stood over her, knowing he had won.

"To this day the terrified screams of Annabella and her friends can be heard as they try to escape their final fate at the hands of Aaron. It may have been 10 years ago, but I've seen Aaron in those woods, looking for some unlucky traveler to lose their way so he can satisfy his crazy addiction for killing." My strums slowed into soft minor chords as Castiel finished his story.

"Hey do you hear that?" Said Castiel, "Sounds like Aaron found another victim."

"What?" Rosa looked confused as I smiled at Iris.

"AAAHHHRRGG!" Armin grabbed Iris's shoulders and screamed. I hit the strings fast as he did this. Iris screamed and jumped up, running for the water before turning around to see us laughing hysterically.

"Not funny guys!" Iris shouted as she slowly walked back to us and stood just behind Rosa.

:It was a horror story, not meant to be funny."

"Ok Iris, we'll play a game to get your mind off it a bit." I said, trying to calm her down without chuckling at her jittery nod.

"I know! We should play spin the bottle!" Shouted Tag. She seemed to know where this would lead but I didn't quite pick up on it until the game had started. That devious little…

We all gathered in a circle – not around the campfire – next to the fire. In the middle was a slab of cardboard with a glass Coke bottle sitting on it horizontally.

"I'll go first!" Rosa reached over Alexy's shoulder and spun the bottle. It didn't take long for the bottle to stop spinning on the board.

"EEE!" Rosa squealed when the bottle landed on Leigh, her boyfriend. She crawled over the board to Leigh and pushed him down onto the beach towel, straddling him and embracing him in a warm kiss. His hands made their way to her slender waist as everyone just sat and wondered how long they would stay like that. After a minute Alexy took the bottle and spun it clockwise, landing on Iris. A quick peck on the cheek and then it was Tag's turn. She was giddy. She spun the bottle hard counterclockwise. The bottle came to a slow stop between Lysander and Kentin. The group was silent until Kentin stood up and smirked,

"I volunteer as tribute." He grinned, quoting Katniss from The Hunger Games. He made his way over to Tag and offered a hand to stand up. His hands light on her hips, he closed the small gap between their faces, kissing her softly on the lips. Tag's hands moved up on his chest to his shoulders.

"OOOOOoooooo! They are so CUTE!" Squealed Rosa and little 'awws' came from the group. When they sat back down Tag was grinning ear-to-ear and Kentin was noticeably red in the face. I grabbed the bottle, looking around the circle of friends. Rosa, Alexy, Tag, Myself, Lysander, Kentin, Iris, Armin, Leigh, and Castiel. We were all having so much fun. I spun the bottle fast. It felt like it was going forever – was it like this for the others too? – before finally coming to a stop on Castiel. He was leaning back on his hands, legs stretched out and crossed in front of him. When he noticed where the bottle was pointing his eyes widened then shifted into a smirk that almost looked angry. Of course he would make me come to him. But then he stood up, ran a hand through his hair and said,

"I think I'm gonna head out." He started to his car. Groans of disappointment came from the group. I got up and walked after him, grabbing his shoulder and turning him sharply around I said,

"You think I'm gonna let you off that easy?" I smirked, grabbing the collar of his shirt, and yanking him down, close to my face. His face turned a few shades redder. I closed the small gap between our lips, after a few seconds he returned the kiss gently, as though he might hurt me. His lips played with mine and I bit at the corner of his mouth. He gave a soft, low, growl. Oh man he's sexy. His thumbs linked into my belt loops and he held my hips as though I'd cease to exist if he let go. I pulled away for air, but he came back and kissed my harder, then making a small trail of kisses from my lips to my cheek, then to my neck.

"Ah!"

"Hehe. What was that Birdie?"

"Nothing…" He planted one last soft kiss on my temple and proceeded to sit back down.

"Wow girl, that was intense. Didn't know you had it in you." Tag snickered at me. The group stared silently, their eyes flickering between Cas and me.

After our little show, the group went on to play some folk music, then head home. Tag and I got back at 1:30 and went straight to bed.

My mind was racing as I fell into a fast sleep. It was almost like he meant that kiss. Did he? What will happen after the trip? Will it go back to normal? Does he like me? Will he still like me after I get back? What are we going to do in Scotland? … … Did he mean that kiss?

Yeah chapter 4! so chapter 5 is still in the making but i can't wait to post it. Again thanks to my amazing BFF Shelby who let me use her horror story in this chapter, possible incorporations of her work in chapters to come. Shout out to Amy Love1 thanks for your support!
