AN: well here is the next chapter to Edge of Reality, as always I do not own Supernatural or anyone there in. I only own Salem and the plot to this story. I want to thank the reader Child of Music and Dreams for being the first to fav. and put this story on their alert list. You are awesome! Okay lets get started!

Chapter 2- Panic Attack

Castiel walked into the room later that night and found Salem sitting on her bed with her journal. She looked up at him and gave him a subdued smile. "Hey." He greeted, setting his backpack on the bed and sitting down to remove his shoes. "What are you doing?" Salem looked back at her journal her mouth pressing into a thin line. "I'm just writing down my thoughts. I've been doing this ever since…" She paused her hand raised over the paper. "I don't think we need to, umm…share stuff." She said looking at him sadly. Castiel looked at her a little confused. How could he share a room with someone he doesn't even know? He didn't want to push her though, so he didn't. "That's fine Salem."

Salem went back to her journal as Castiel grabbed a towel and his pajamas. "I'm gonna go take a shower." He said looking at her. Salem looked up at him momentarily and nodded. "Okay." Castiel left and Salem went back to her journal:

Salem's Journal Entry #1

Well my roommate is as I feared, he's an angel and an Alpha. His name is Castiel. The only upside to this is that Castiel is a friend of Dean's roommate Anna. If Dean's roommate is as nice as Dean says she is she couldn't really be friends with someone that is horrible right? The fact that he is an Alpha is what scares me the most…And him being an Angel is a close second. I know he is an Alpha by the color of his wings and the size of them. I'm afraid…After what…No…I won't think about it. Not again. I'll just keep my distance from Castiel. If I do, maybe I'll be safe.

Salem closed her journal just as Castiel returned from the showers…She looked at the clock in surprise. Had it really been that long? Had she been working on a paragraph that small and it taken her twenty minutes? She looked back at Castiel realizing what he was wearing, and blushed. He wore black sweatpants that hung on his narrow hips, and no shirt. He towel dried his dark hair then tossed the towel on the back of a chair. He glanced at Salem as he tossed his dirty clothes into the dirty clothes hamper. Salem catching his gaze blushed harder and looked away. "If you want to take a shower, you might want to hurry. The showers get really busy around this time." Castiel said softly as he got into bed. "Okay, thanks." Salem said getting up. Castiel rolled over onto his side facing the wall pulling the sheet halfway up his side. Salem watched him for a moment, she couldn't help but marvel and fear his wings. They were one her favorite color, two they were beautiful. But the last part is what scared her, an Alpha's wings were really powerful and if hit by one they could shatter your bones easily. Pulling herself from her thoughts Salem quickly grabbed her pajamas and a towel from her dresser.

As she headed to the door Castiel lifted his head and looked at her. Salem gave him a small smile and opened the door and left. As she headed to the females bathroom, the hall was pretty much empty. She walked into the bathroom and headed to the showers. When she walked in there were to Angels standing there talking, one was tall with long red hair. The other was a little shorter with short brown hair. They both looked at Salem for a moment studying her. Ignoring the looks Salem started to undress. Undressing in front of people was not really her thing but what could she do? The stalls in the bathroom were being used, and she didn't want to get her clothes wet by undressing in the shower stall. Undressing down to her black lace bra and panties Salem started to fold her clothes. Glancing at the Angels and feeling them still watching her she shifted put her back to them.

"Nice chicken legs!" The red head laughed, ignoring the comment Salem said nothing, pulling her wings close around her. "Hey twig, do you eat at all?" The comments kept coming and Salem tried her best to ignore them but it was too much. Suddenly Salem felt one of the Angels grab her arm and turn her around. "Hey bitch, we're talking to you!" The brunette snapped. Pulling away from her, her wings flaring out Salem looked at them fearfully. "Aw…She's scared!" The red head laughed. "Leave me alone!" Salem snarled.

"Oh look, the Beta is barring her kitten fangs!" The red head laughed as she reached over and snapped Salem's bra strap. Salem quickly grabbed her things wrapping the towel around her and tried to push past the Angels. "She's crying!" The brunette jeered.

Fighting tears Salem rushed out and down the hall. She paused at the bedroom door, she was about to go back the way she came to go to Dean's room but she saw the Angels come around the corner. So going to his room was out of the question. She quickly opened the door and ran in slamming and locking the door. Castiel sat up quickly hearing the door slam. He saw a toweled Salem lean against the door tears streaming down her cheeks. "Salem? What's wrong?" He asked getting up quickly.

Salem looked at him as he approached her. "Don't touch me!" She screamed, causing Castiel to stop short. "Salem, what happened he asked again. Salem shook her head sliding to the floor pulling her knees to her chest and her wings down around her. Castiel tired to console her without touching her. "Salem I can't help you if you don't talk to me!" Salem shook her head pulling away from him. "Your all alike!" She cried.

Castiel rushed over and grabbed his cell phone off the dresser and quickly called Anna. He put the phone to his ear, and it rang three times before Anna picked up.

"Hello? Cass?"

"Anna, I need you to send Dean to my room quick! His sister Salem…Salem went to go take a shower and she came back not long after she left. Anna I think something happened, she's totally freaking out!" Castiel said urgently.

"Okay, we'll be over in a sec. I'm sure he'll call Sam too." Anna said and hung up

Castiel sat his phone on the floor and looked at Salem. She was blocking the door. "Salem I need you to move…" Castiel said gently trying to coax her away from the door. She glared at him in response. "Get away from me!"

As a last resort Castiel reached behind her and grabbed her gently trying to mind her wings, and pulled her away from the door, Salem struggled hitting him. "Let me go!" She screamed, and in all her struggling Salem somehow got turned around and Castiel's hands came into contact with her wings. Salem cried out pulling away from him. Everything from her past coming back…It was going to happen again!

Castiel jumped back realizing what he'd done. "I'm sorry!" A Beta's wings were really sensitive, and like Angels you didn't touch a Fallen's wings unless you were a close family member or a Pair Bond. Salem coward in a corner away from him her wings tucked around her. Just then Anna opened the door and ran in with Dean and Sam. "Cass what happened?" Anna asked as Sam and Dean rushed over to Salem. Castiel looked at Anna confused. "I'm not sure."

"Salem what happened?" Sam asked gently touching her knee, trying to calm her.

Salem opened her wings looking at her brothers. "Sam? Dean?" She asked as if just seeing them. Dean took his sisters hand gently. "Salem, what happened?" Salem looked at Dean. "In the showers…These two Angels…." She whispered. "They were pushing you around?" Sam asked. Salem nodded. "They touched you?" Dean asked. Again Salem nodded. "And…When I came back here." She looked at Castiel. Dean turned on Cass. "What did you do?!" Castiel held his hands up. "Hey…I…It was an accident, she was in front of the door, I had to move her."

"He touched my wings." Salem said angrily. Dean glared at Castiel but Sam stepped between them. "Dean it was an accident." He said gently. Dean looked from Castiel to Sam his wings twitching in agitation. Anna walked over to Salem who pulled away from her. "Come on Salem…Let's go get you dressed." Anna said gently. Salem looked at her then at Dean. Dean nodded assuringly. "It's okay…Go with Anna." Salem nodded and stood up and followed Anna to the door as Sam handed Anna Salem's pajamas. They left leaving Sam and Dean with Castiel.

"I don't understand why she flipped out…"Castiel said looking at Sam and Dean waiting for an answer. Sam looked at Dean unsure if they should explain the situation. "Should we explain?" Dean nodded. "Yeah." Sam looked at Castiel. "Um, when Salem was going to the all Fallen privet school, she was involved with an Angel…" Castiel looked at him confused. "I don't understand, how could she be involved with a Angel at an all Fallen school?" Dean looked at him and sighed. "He was in collage and would go visit her at the school, they met when Salem and a friend went to the movies." Castiel nodded waiting for them to continue. "He was very possessive and cruel to her…" Sam explained. Castiel looked at the ground. "He abused her." He said. Dean and Sam nodded. "He was always pressuring her to have sex and she didn't want to. Them not being a Pair Bond it was okay for her to say no, but the last night they hung out…"Dean's voice trailed off.

Castiel looked up at him. "He didn't…Did he?" He asked. "No but he was damn near close." Sam said. "Ever since then Salem hasn't really trusted men or Angels, and that's why she doesn't like to be touched." Dean explained. Castiel felt horrible, how could an Angel do something like that?

"Look don't tell her we told you." Sam pleaded. "It would…We don't want her more upset than she already is." Castiel nodded and the door opened and Anna and Salem entered. Salem wore her pajamas and seemed calmer. Sam walked over to Salem as Anna closed the door. "Come on lets get you into bed." He said leading Salem to her bed. Dean pulled the blankets back and Salem climbed in and Dean covered her up. Sam and Dean tucked her in as she slowly drifted off to sleep, the stress to much to handle anymore.

Anna, Dean, and Sam looked at Castiel who led them out to the hall. "Keep an eye on her okay?" Dean said. Castiel nodded. "I will call Anna if anything happens."

"It's cool Cass, I texted you Sam and Dean's phone numbers." Anna said putting her phone back in her pocket. "Okay, well you guys should get back." Castiel said. Sam nodded and looked at Anna and Dean. "Yeah I'm gonna go." Dean and Anna nodded. "Us too…"

"Thanks again Cass."

"No problem."

-Next time in ER-

Salem looked at the teachers before her as they sat in the seats in the auditorium. She had to sing…In font of them. She didn't know she had to try out for the class, why didn't they put that in the paper work. If she failed this the she would have to take the dreaded Music History Class. As her eyes scanned the auditorium nervously she saw someone standing in the back of the auditorium…Someone she didn't expect after the fight they had that morning…Someone who she thought hated her….
