The One Winged Angel (Chapter 15)

"Dean, why don't you want to come to church with me?" Cas asked.

"I just don't ok?" Dean replied after taking a sip off his coffee.

It had been 3 months since Cas and Dean were hospitalized from the kidnapping. Cas was kept in the hospital for a month, just to be sure that his wounds wouldn't become infected and he become septic. Dean was at his side in the hospital the whole time.

Ellen, Sam, and Jo in this time found a new apartment close to Dean and Cas'. Though it wasn't like the house they used to have, it was still home for them. Ellen was still on the lookout for a house that she really liked, but still wasn't able to find one. Sam was still in high school, but at the time, because of everything that happened over the last couple months, was given a break from school. He is supposed to go back next week.

Since getting out of the hospital, Cas and Dean were very cold to everyone around them. They didn't trust anyone, expecting to get attacked again. They bought another lock for their door and made sure that every night they locked the doors and windows.

Cas was still very fragile when taken out of the hospital, he was still in pain from the stab wounds and the other injuries. Cas couldn't go to work because of the pain, mostly from his back where the tattoo of this angel wings was sand papered off. Since, Cas couldn't work, Dean took charge and started to work more. And since Cas still needed care, Gabriel took on the duty of nurse.

After the second month, Cas was able to start taking care of himself again. But, Gabe wouldn't leave the apartment, just in case something did happen. Dean didn't mind the tiny sugar addict living in their apartment, it gave Cas the family support that he needed at the time. Gabe got a part time job at, you guessed it, a candy store to help pay for some of the medical expenses.

Gabe called his brothers to tell them what happened to Cas. And they didn't seem to care, they told Gabe that that is what blasphemers get. Gabe replied with "if you don't help your little brother, than expect to lose another brother!" The next day, Gabriel received papers that told him he was disowned from the family.

Ellen, Jo, and Sam started to come to the apartment more often. Ellen and Jo cooked for the boys most nights of the week. Sam spent a lot of the time sitting on the couch with Cas, making sure that he got whatever he needed. Sam was worried that Cas was rushing his recovery so he would take care of Cas when Gabe and Dean were at work.

"Why not? It couldn't hurt to go with me?" Cas pleaded. Dean was sitting at the table sipping his coffee. Cas stood up slowly from the couch and walked over to sit next to Dean.

"Because I don't want to ok? Now drop it." Dean replied. He looked over at Cas to see sad cerulean eyes staring back at him.

"Alright." Cas said defeated. He stood up and walked over to the bathroom. Dean was still looking over at Cas when he stood up. When Cas turned away from him, he could see the angel wing tattoos sticking out through his shirt. Dean could see the scars from the sand paper where the other wing used to be. Dean looked away, trying to hold back tears.

Dean had a very hard time looking at Cas, not because of the scars or anything so shallow. It was because he could see the scars from being stabbed, sliced, and sand papered. And every time he saw those scars, he remembered that Cas was in so much pain, and that all this happened because he was stabbed by Lucifer and Garth. Every day, Dean had to live with the fact that all this was all his fault. Though he would never say anything to Cas about it, he knew exactly what Cas would say if Dean ever tried to bring it up.

Dean heard the door to the bathroom shut and Cas walk out. Cas had changed to his church clothes.

"Alright, I'll be back soon." Cas told Dean.

"Wait!" Dean stated as he stood up. " I'll go with you."

"Really?" Cas questioned.

"Yeah, just let me go change." Dean answered.

Man, what am I getting myself into. Dean thought to himself as he walked into the backroom to change.

Dean parked the Impala at the church. He slowly got out of the car and walked over and opened the door for Cas. Cas got out and hugged Dean.

"Thank you for coming with me Dean." Cas whispered.

"You know I would do anything for you." Dean said back. He then gently gave Cas a peck on the cheek.

They slowly made their way to the door of the church. Cas continued to walk to the door, while Dean stayed back and looked at the door for a minute. He took a deep breath and ran to catch up with Cas. Once inside the church Cas quickly lead Dean to the front of the church and sat down in the pews. Dean wasn't very happy that Cas made him sit in the front of the congregation, but he was trying to make Cas happy.

Dean looked over at Cas who was talking to an elderly woman sitting next to him. Dean looked around the church, trying to find something to do. He spotted a name on the wall, that would change if he wanted to be there or not.

Mary Winchester

RIP

December 5, 1954- November 2, 1995

As soon as Dean saw the plating at the front of the church, he wanted to leave. The memories started to flow back.

" But Dad, I don't want to go to church!" A young Dean Winchester yelled to his Dad.

" Dean, you're going." His dad replied.

Dean started to pout in their home when his mother walked over.

"Now Dean, after we go to church, we can go to the toy store and get you a new toy. How's that sound?" A pregnant Mary cooed to Dean.

"Yay!" Dean yelled.

"Dean? Dean Winchester?" The priest asked.

Dean snapped out of it and looked over at the priest.

"I knew it was you! I haven't seen you in years?!" the priest yelled as he walked over to Dean to give him a hug. Dean shuddered away.

" It's me, Father Donavan. Don't you remember me?" Donavan asked.

"No, I'm sorry." Dean replied coldy.

"It's alright. It's been to long Dean, how have you been?" Donavan asked warmly.

"I've been fine." Dean stated, trying to get the man to go away.

Father Donavan looked over at Cas and his eyes grew wide.

"Is this the guy you're dating?" Father Donavan asked Cas.

"Yes sir." Cas replied.

"Man, just when you'd thought you'd seen it all." Father stated.

"Oh Father, can I talk to you about something." Cas asked as he stood up.

"Of course my child." Donavan replied as they walked away from Dean.

Dean just sat there, thinking of ways that he could get away before the service started. If I make my way to the front door, I can make it before the service starts. Or If I saw that I'm going to the bathroom I can get away. Dean thought. Just as he was about to enact one of his plans, Cas walked over and sat down. Damn. Dean thought again.

"Now, there is a certain someone that I would like for us to pray for, and someone that want's to come up and say something." Father Donavan stated.

Dean, wasn't really paying attention, he just wanted to leave. Dean noticed some movement out of the corner of his eye. He looked over and saw that Cas had stood up. Oh god. Dean thought to himself. Cas started to walk up towards the pedestal.

"Hello everyone." Cas started.

" As some of you know, I was the victim of a kidnapping and torture. I was beaten, stabbed, slashed, and injured to the point that I was hospitalized." Cas explained. Dean's attention was caught and he was starting to get angry that Cas would be this conniving as to invite him here to do this.

"But, I wasn't the only person that suffered because of this."Cas stated," Dean Winchester was also taken and tortured as well. And as many of you have speculated, he is the love of my life. " Dean started to lighten up when he heard that.

"Dean, his brother and his uncle had come to rescue me when Dean was captured and tortured as well. Though we escaped, I could see the pain in his eyes that something was bothering him. He thinks that this was all his fault. The pain that I experienced was his fault, and I can see it every time that I look into his eyes, and it breaks my heart." Cas said as his voice started to crack, a tear rolling down his eye.

"Dean," Cas stated as he looked over at Dean, " I wanted to let you know, that I don't blame you for anything that has happened to me. Nothing you did caused this to me. You are not to blame. I love you and nothing will ever change that."

"Now, Castiel has asked me ask all of you to pray for Dean so that he will stop feeling the pain of an undue burden that he doesn't deserve. Please join me in prayer." Father Donavan pleaded.

Dean looked around as people bowed their heads, he could see that most of the congregation was praying for him. People stood up and walked over to where Dean was and tried to hug him. Dean was extremely nervous as people started to get closer and closer. Everyone's faces started to turn into Balthazar's and Ruby's. He knew that they couldn't be there so he tried to ignore it.

Dean received a couple hugs from people. Dean looked up as someone let go, to see a man with a shaggy beard walk up to him and give him a hug.

"Don't think this is over Winchester." The person whispered in a British accent.

Dean let go and looked up to see the man, but he had turned his back and was walking away. Dean felt a cold sweat running down the side of his face. That's one of the guys..Dean thought. Dean jumped as someone put their hand on his shoulder. He looked over ready to attack, but when he saw that Cas had his hand on his shoulder, he relaxed.

Dean and Cas left right after the church service and drove home. As soon as Dean and Cas were inside the house, Dean locked the door and grabbed the phone.

"Who are you calling?" Cas asked.

"Leila." Dean stated point blank as he dialed her number.

"Why?" Cas asked, starting to get scared.

"Because, someone said something to me in the church." Dean replied.

"Leila Prosequi?" Leila answered.

" Leila, it's Dean." Dean stated.

"Dean, what can I do for ya?" Leila replied happily.

"Did the people who kidnapped Cas get thrown in jail?" Dean asked.

"Yes, they were both sentenced to life in jail. Why?" Leila replied.

"Did they ever say that they had more people with them?" Dean asked.

" I do recall Balthazar saying that there were four of them. Bella Talbot who was found outside the mausoleum and Ruby and Balthazar were captured. But the other one is still missing." Leila answered.

"Oh god." Dean replied.

"What? What's going on Dean?" Leila questioned.

"Someone came up to me today and told me that this wasn't over." Dean answered.

"I'm sending a squad car over to your house now, so that we can get a statement. I'm also sending a car over to Ellen's just to be safe. Stay inside and lock your door Dean." Leila said calmly.

"O.k" Dean replied as he set the phone down.

"Dean, what the fuck is going on?" Cas Asked.

"Someone during the hug circle told me that "this wasn't over."" Dean mimicked in the British accent.

Cas stood their speechless. His mouth open, his brain having flashback about that voice.

"Crowley." Cas finally stated.

The squad car finally showed up and they searched the house, making sure that it was clear from anyone hiding inside it. Dean and Cas sat at the table while the police stood watch outside their house. Ellen, Jo, Gabe and Sam show up to make things easier for the police.

"I don't understand why I have to be here?" Gabe questioned as he popped his lollipop back into his mouth.

"Because you're in danger too you fuck head." Dean stated coldly, a look in his eyes like he was ready to kill someone.

"Ok, calm down Dean-o everything will be fine." Gabe tried to calm Dean down.

"I thought that this was finally over." Sam whispered to himself. He looked up at Dean and yelled " Why can't people just finally leave us alone!"

"Sam, you need to calm down." Ellen stated.

"How can I calm down?! Someone is trying to kill my family… And Gabe?!" Sam stated.

"Hey? Why am I not included in the family?" Gabe questioned.

The police knocked on the door before anyone could respond to walked over and answered the door.

"it seems like the premises is clear. We are going to have someone stay near your house for the next couple days just to be safe." The police officer said.

"O.k." Dean replied as he thanked the officer and shut the door.

Within the next couple hours, everyone had calmed down and went to sleep. Ellen and Jo were sleeping on the air mattress and Sam was on the couch. Dean, Cas and Gabe were still awake sitting out on the porch.

"Man, you guys can't catch a break can you?" Gabe asked trying to break the tension.

"Shut up Gabe." Dean said, his brain thinking about how all this was still his fault.

Cas looked over to Dean, seeing that Dean as still hurting.

"Dean, this isn't your fault." Cas stated, trying to calm Dean down.

"Yes it is. Don't you see that Cas. If I had never met you then none of this would have happened." Dean stated quietly.

" No!" Cas yelled standing up, his hands curled into fists. "This was caused by crazy people who think they could do anything they wanted!"

Dean had never seen Cas get so angry, it was kind of scary.

"Calm down Freddie Kruger." Gabe joked with Cas.

Dean looked down, trying to comprehend what Cas had said to him. That maybe this wasn't his fault at all. He tried to understand that everything that had happened wasn't his fault.

Cas sat back down and closed his eyes.

Dean looked over at Cas and could tell that he was tired.

"Come on Cas, let's go to bed." Dean stated as he grabbed Cas' hand. They said their goodnights to Gabe and went into the bedroom and went to sleep.

The next morning, Dean is woken up by a phone call.

"Hello?" Dean questioned groggily.

"Dean? Its Leila." Leila answered

"Leila, what's up?" Dean asked again.

"I just wanted to call you and tell you that the police caught some guy sneaking around your house last night and took him into custody. We are going to need you to come down and identify if this is the person that you saw yesterday." Leila stated.

A smile grew across Dean's face.

"Of course, I'll be at the police station in a bit." Dean said excitedly as he hung up the phone.

"What's goin on? Cas asked tiredly.

"They caught the guy!" Dean yelled.

"What?" Cas asked again, watching as Dean crawled out of bed and put some pants on.

"I'm going down to the police station to see if it's the same guy." Dean replied as he walked out the door.

Dean arrived at the police station and walked up to the information desk. Leila was waiting for him behind the desk and took him to the back room.

"Now Dean, the man we caught is going to be in a lineup of six people, and we are going to need you to identify which person it is. Do you think you could do that?" Leila asked.

" Yeah, I think I could do that." Dean replied.

" Ok." Leila responded as she reached over and pulled up the shades to the window of the interview room. She reached over to the intercom and told them to walk in. Six men walked into the room and turned towards the window with numbers in their hands.

Dean's palms were sweating as he looked over the people in the lineup. And one person stood out to him.

"What's going on, I don't understand?" Dean asked.

"What do you mean?" Leila asked." The man is in there."

"The only person I recognize in there is Elliot!" Dean yelled as he slammed his hands on the table.

"Which number?" Leila asked.

" Number 4." Dean answered quietly.

"Do you know him?" Leila asked.

" Yeah, he was someone that kissed Cas and tried to get Cas to leave me." Dean replied disappointed.

Dean stood behind the window into the interview room. Elliot was being interviewed by the police.

"Why were you outside of the Winchester/Novak residence when you were brought into custody?" the interviewer asked.

"I was coming over to apologize to Dean and Castiel for what I did. I didn't mean to be creepy. I was just coming over to apologize." Elliot replied.

"God damn it." Dean said quietly.

"I'm sorry Dean, I thought we had got him." Leila replied, trying to comfort Dean.

"It's fine." Dean replied as he walked out of the room and to the Impala.

Driving home his mind was racing. How could they not get him? How could they do this to us? Damn…Damn Damn Damn Damn! Dean thought as he slammed his hands on the steering wheel.

When Dean arrived home, everyone was waiting for him. Apparently Leila had called ahead and told them what happened.

Everyone tried to console Dean when he arrived but instead, he just pushed past them and walked into the bedroom and locked the door.

Later that night, Dean was still locked in his room. Cas and Sam were watching t.v when there was a knock on the door. Cas stood up and opened the door.

"Hey Cas?" Elliot said at the door.

Cas felt his blood boil as Elliot stood in their doorway.

"What do you want?" Cas asked, his hands curled into a fist again.

"Is Dean here? There is something that I want to say to the both of you." Elliot requested.

" Yeah, let me go get him." Cas replied. He shut the door and walked to the bedroom.

"Dean… Dean… Someone is at the door for us." Cas asked. He heard from the other side of the door the sound of someone moving and the door opened. Dean's eyes were swollen from crying. Cas hugged Dean tightly. Cas let go and grabbed Dean's hand and walked with him to the door. Cas slowly opened the door, Elliot was still there standing with his back to the door. He quickly turned around, with a smile on his face that quickly faded as he saw the anger on Dean's face.

"Um… I just wanted to come over and apologize for being an asshole. It's my fault of what happened." Elliot apologized.

"It's alright Elliot." Cas answered. Cas looked over to Dean who just looked angry. Cas nudged Dean in the side. Dean looked over at him and saw the look on Cas' face, seeing that apologetic face that Cas had.

"It's ok Elliot. We forgive you." Dean finally said.

"Good. Then there is something else that I'm going to need you to forgive me for?" Elliot stated as he reached behind him. Dean's stomach dropped as he saw that Elliot had pulled a gun out from his underwear. Dean watched as Elliot pointed the gun at Cas.

Dean reacted to this and pushed Elliot, who stumbled. He hit the rail that was behind him and flipped over the edge. Dean watched as Elliot went over the edge. Dean and Cas lived on the second story.

Cas yelled for Elliot as he flipped over the edge of the rail. Dean ran over to the edge and could see that Elliot was lying on the ground.

Cas ran into the house and grabbed the phone and called 911. Dean ran down the stairs and over to Elliot. He could see blood forming around Elliot.

"Dean…" Elliot whispered.

"Why? Why would you do this?" Dean questioned. Knowing that this might be the only chance that they might get to know why Elliot would do this.

Elliot reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Dean.

Dean quickly read the paper.

Dear Cousin Elliot,

I know that you dislike Dean Winchester as much as I do. So, I am going to ask you a favor that you might favor. I want you to kill Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak. I will pay you $100,000 for doing this.
