Chapter 5: The Confrontation

"Fine. But I'm surprised you haven't figured this out already." Crowley took a deep breath and said "You won't find Dean he'll find you."

"That's your big information, just let him find us?!" Sam said incredulously.

"Well obviously. Think about it moose, he's bloody preparing himself to kill you, and now he's ready. He'll find you. Just make it easy for him."

That was a good plan though, Castiel was surprised and a little ashamed that he hadn't thought of it, but there was just one thing.

"How do you know he's ready, that he feels that he's finally prepared to kill us?" Castiel asked suspiciously. How did he know this, was it because Crowley was working with the Knight Of Hell, helping him kill all those people?

"How did you manage without me..." Crowley sighed, "Honestly I'm surprised you managed to stop the apocalypse. Oh wait that was with my help." Crowley smirked.

"Dean has stopped killing people that look like you. Now he's just killing for the sake of killing. The only reason he hasn't killed you already, is because he heard that you got the thing that can turn him back into a human, so he's keeping well away."

"Oh." Sam said

"Thats all your going to say? Oh? A thank you would be nice!"

"Goodbye Crowley." Castiel said firmly

"Fine, I know when I'm not wanted." And with that Crowley disappeared into thin air.

"So basically all we have to do is play bait and then Dean will come?" Sam asked skeptically "I think Dean will probably guess our plan and not come at all."

"You would think that, but if we insult him or make him angry enough, he will be overcome by some kind of demonic rage that he will not be able to control. He is still a very new demon, so he does not have very good control on emotions like that, even if he is a Knight of Hell"

"Ok then, so lets do this." Sam said determinedly, "After all it will be pretty easy to get my brother angry, I do it enough already." Castiel felt that even though that was true, since Dean was easy to antagonize, Sam wasn't normally the one who made Dean angry. Sam was the one who calmed him down, and Castiel was the one who angered Dean. For it seemed that when Dean was human, everything Cas did angered him greatly, and Castiel didn't always understand why.

In the end they decided to try waiting for Dean in a vegan bakery Dean hadn't attacked yet. After all they were trying to making it easier for Dean to find them, and so far Dean hadn't attacked the same place twice.

Castiel had never broken into a place before, or at least he had never broken into a place without use of his angelic powers. He had offered to "zap" them inside the bakery, but Sam had been adamant that Castiel wasn't to use his powers, saying that he didn't want Castiel to pass out on him while they were fighting Dean.

Castiel had protested saying that he was fine, and that he could handle taking them to the bakery, but Sam had given him one of his famous bitch-faces and they had left it at that. In all honesty though Cas wasn't so sure he could handle it, he felt like one of the undead walking around in his own dreamworld. it felt like Theo's grace was slowly draining the life out of him every time he took a breath. Castiel only kept going because of Dean, because Dean didn't deserve to become a demon after everything he had done.

They stood outside the bakery in silence wondering how they were going to break in. The only way to go into the bakery without causing a big disturbance seemed to be the window, but there was a burly security guard posted next to it. Castiel knew what he had to do, even if Sam didn't like it.

Castiel quickly disappeared and reappeared behind the security guard and knocked him out with the butt of his angel blade. Castiel's vision blacked out for a second before he recovered feeling like he had been thrown into a stone wall. It was getting harder and harder for Cas to breathe, but he clenched his teeth and quickly walked past Sam, ignoring his concerned face.

He smashed the window with the angel blade and quickly climbed inside, and looked around the room, noticing that the walls were painted pink. It would be even easier to antagonize Dean now, because for some reason Dean seemed to detest the colour.

Castiel moved aside so Sam could jump in, and wondered how they should go about annoying Dean. If Dean was keeping close enough tabs on them, he would be able to notice if they said his name, so all they had to do was talk to thin air and wait for an enraged Dean to attack them.

"Start talking Sam." Cas said, his eyes flicking to Sam uneasily, wondering what he was going to say. Sam took a deep breath and started talking

"Dean you make the most stupid mistakes ever, and you always expect me to clean up your mistakes. Look at this now you are a demon and I am supposed to make you better, but you know what I don't care any more. I never did. You always expect me to do everything for you, research the cases, kill the monsters, do everything. And god forbid I forget to do something, like when I forget your pie. I do not understand how you can love pie, it tastes slimy, and horrible and its probably the worst food in the world. I think there should be more vegan bakeries in-" Sam was cut off from his rant by a very angry Dean appearing.

"NO ONE INSULTS PIE!" Dean screamed, and ran at Sam, he was going so fast that Castiel couldn't see him, just a blur.

Dean threw a punch at Sam, the impact of it throwing hime against the pink walls.

"Sam!" Cas shouted, but immediately knew that was the wrong thing to do. Dean turned around and grinned.

"Hello Castiel." With that Dean ran at Cas and threw him against the counter, making everything go dark.
