Clara could feel Dean shifting in his sleep like he was dreaming but he never let her go. She had fallen asleep and was confused when she found herself awake and downstairs. She could hear two people talking. She looked down at her self and saw she had her clothes back on. Like she had gotten up, changed and walked downstairs only she didn't remember doing any of that. She rounded the corner. The two male voices one being Dean's for sure, was coming from the kitchen.
"Nice work with the Witnesses." She saw Castiel leaning on the counter squinting at Dean, who also had his clothes back on. She turned her head to the couch where she saw Sam still fast asleep.
"You were hip to all this?" Dean asked in shock.
"I was made aware." Castiel nodded.
"Well thanks for the angelic assistants." Dean rolled his eyes. I stood in the door way but neither of them noticed me. "Clara and I both almost had our hearts ripped out of our chests." He sounded angry.
"But you didn't." Castiel said with a small smirk.
"I thought angels were supposed to be guardians." Dean paused. " Not dicks." he said and I had to cover my mouth from yelling at him.
Castiel just smiled. " Read the bible. Angels are warriors of God. I'm a solider"
"Yeah well why didn't you fight?" Dean shook his head.
Castiel just shook his head at Dean. "I'm not here to perch on your shoulder. We had larger concerns."
Dean shook his head. "There were people getting torn to shreds down here." Castiel looked away and then his eyes stopped on me. He tilted his head and squinted his eyes like he was confused. "What are you looking at?" Dean turned but didn't seem to see me. I looked back at Castiel and he just looked back to Dean. "By the way. Where is your boss?" Dean laughed. "If there is a God." He rolled his eyes.
"There is a God." Castiel said back almost offended by Dean's tone.
"Well I'm not convinced." Dean smirked. Castiel shook his head and looked down. "Because if there is then what the hell is he waiting for? Genocide. Monsters roaming the earth, the freaking apocalypse? At what point does he lift a damn finger?" Dean was mad now. "And help the poor bastards that are stuck down here."
"The Lord works.."
"If you say mysterious way so help me I will kick your ass." Dean cut him off. Castiel threw his hands up and said nothing else. Dean looked down and then back up. " So Bobby was right, about the witnesses? This is some kind of sign of the apocalypse?" Dean asked moving over to Castiel's side.
"That's why were here. Big things a foot." He said looking over to me then back at Dean.
"Do I wanna know what kind of things?" Dean asked.
"I sincerely doubt it, but you need to know." He said. "The rising of the witnesses is on of the 66 seals."
"Okay I'm guess that's not a show at sea world." Dean said in a sarcastic tone.
"Those seals are being broken by Lilith."
"She did the spell. She rose the witnesses." Dean figured.
"And not just here. 20 other hunters are dead." That's when my heart dropped. What if Arron was one of those hunters.
"Of course she picked victims the hunters couldn't save. So they would barrel right after us."
"Lilith has a sense of humour."
"Yeah a twisted one." I said and Castiel looked over to me with a smirk.
"Well we sent them back..."
"Doesn't matter. The seal was still broken." Dean looked at the angel in confusion. "Think of the seals as locks on a door."
"Last one opens and?" Dean asked.
Castiel push himself off the counter and turned to Dean. "Lucifer walks free." He said and Dean's eyes got big and my mouth dropped.
"Lucifer? I thought he was just a story people told at demon sunday school." Dean shook his head. "There's no such thing." He smirked hoping he was right.
"Three days ago you thought there was no such thing as me." Castiel smiled a bit. "Why do you think we are here. Walking amoung humans for the first time in 2000 years?" he shook his head.
"Stop Lucifer." Dean whispered. Castiel nodded. " Well bang up job so far." Dean smiled.
"We tried. There are other battles. Other seals. Some we'll win and some we'll lose." Castiel explained and Dean leaned back on the counter rolling his eyes. Dean let out a huff and Castiel got closer squinting his eyes. "Our numbers are not unlimited." He said and I could see how intense Castiel could be. Dean was uncomfortable about the lack of space between them. "6 of my brothers died in the field this week. You think the armies of heaven should just follow you around? There's a bigger picture here." Castiel said getting closer. "You should show me some respect. I dragged you out of hell. I can throw you back in." He said and Dean looked up at him and I was both scared and impressed by Castiel's tone.
Then I found myself back in my bed. I felt Dean flinch and his eyes opened. My eyes were still closed but I felt him get out of bed and walk downstairs. Once he was gone I sat up and looked for my clothes. I quickly pulled them on and just as I pulled my hair back into a ponytail a gust of wind made me jump.
"You heard all of that?" Castiel's low voice asked.
I jumped and turned quickly. He was standing just on the other side of the bed staring at me. "What you said about the hunters... do you know who they are?" I asked and he nodded. "Arron Hotchner?" I asked.
"He is not on the list of the dead." I sighed in relief. "So you did hear?" he asked walking closer.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Why could I?" I asked.
"There are some people... speci-" he stopped. "Gifted people." I think remembered the gun pointed at him last time he said special. "Gifted people who can perceive an angels true voice and image." he said. "You are one of them." He smirked a bit.
"Awesome." I rolled my eyes.
"Most people think it is." He seemed confused.
"Well I'm not most people." Realizing he probably didn't know what sarcasm was. So you're the one who had screamed in my ears for the past month?" I asked.
"I apologize for that... the further an angel is away the more high pitched the voice is." He sighed.
"Oh..." I sighed. "Was it hard?" I asked. He tilted his head. " Pulling Dean from the pit?" U asked taking a step closer.
"It was difficult but I've been in tougher situations." He smiled a tad.
"Thank you." I said after he finished.
"For what?" He asked.
"Bring Dean back." I smiled. "He will never come out right and say so I'm saying. Thank you. Sam needs his brother around."
"And you." I corrected me. "You need both of them around." he said.
"Yeah I guess I kinda do." I smiled.
Castiel took a second and just looked at me. "You are different Clara." he said squinting at me again. I crossed my arms and waited for the explanation. "You do not question my existence. Why?" He seemed confused again.
"You brought Dean back from hell." I smiled. "That's proof enough." I sighed and he just kept looking at me. "My whole life I've had to believe the unbelievable. Angels wouldn't be the worst thing I've come across. Kinda nice to know they are real."
"Dean seems to feel the opposite."
"Well can you blame him?" I asked. "Ever since he was like four things have been out to kill him and Sam. Demons have already torn a hole in his family and I can't even count how many times he has almost died. Then he went to Hell. Dean and Sam are heroes. Good guys like him aren't supposed to know that much pain and suffering in one life time." I explained and Castiel looked down. "He just has a hard time believing in good things because for him, they never last."
"How do you know all this?" Castiel asked.
I laughed a bit. "I've known those boys since I was 16. Sometimes I know them better they they know themselves." I smiled. " Of course Dean would never admit anything I said was true."
"His pride is higher than most but his self-worth seems to be lower than that of other hunters." Castiel pointed out.
"Yeah." I nodded. "That's Dean. He'll save your life countless times, protect his brother until he is six feet under and make you believe everything is going to be okay, but thinks he means nothing." I sighed.
"You have proven to be very helpful so I'm just going to warn you now. Sam and Dean can stop the apocalypse but you may not live long enough to see it."
"What?" I felt my heart drop. "Are you saying I'm going to die?" Then before I got an answer Castiel was gone. "Castiel!?" I called out but he never showed up. My eyes were wide and my heart was pounding as I walked down the stairs. I hadn't said anything but I was walking slow enough for Sam to noticed.
"Clara?" he asked. I looked over at him and he looked concerned. " Jesus are you okay?" he asked and I noticed Bobby walk into the room as I got to the bottom of the stairs. Should I tell them? Dean didn't seem to be around but as I walked into the living room he was sitting on the edge of the couch. Sam was sitting next to him and stood up walking over to me. My eyes just stared past him out the window. "Clara? hello?" Sam asked waving a hand in front of my.
"What?" I asked stepping back. Now everyone was looking at me. "Nothing. I'm fine." I changed my look and smiled at him.
"Doesn't look like it." Bobby said leaning on his desk. "You look like you were just told bad new." Damn Bobby and his ability to read my face all the time!
"Um No." I smiled shaking my head. "Nothing of important." I said. "Bobby I'm taking one of your cars to the airport. Don't expect to get it back." I smiled walking past Sam to the back door.
"Why?" Bobby asked.
"Where are you going?" Dean asked.
"Well Castiel transported me that barn and you drove back here. All my stuff is still back in that motel." I smiled turning after taking keys from Bobby's drawer. "Plus I gotta make sure that idiot Roy is alright." I opened the door and looked back to the three men just staring at me. " i'll be back in a couple of hours." I smiled.
"Clara are you sure your-"
"I'm fine Sam." I stopped him and he looked unconvinced. I closed the door tightly behind me. I was walking as quickly as I could to the beat up old mustang Bobby sometimes drove. I ran my hand through my ponytail and sighed. I heard the door open and close again. Someone was following me.
"She seem a bit off to you?" Sam turned to me after Clara closed the door. I didn't understand. She had just gotten here and now she was leaving.
"I'll go find out." I said and Sam smiled shaking his head at me. I walked outside quickly to find Clara just about to open a car door. "You running already?" I called out and she turned quickly.
"Running?" She asked with a small smile. "If someone gets into the motel they'll think I'm a crazy psychopath." She said.
"Okay doesn't explain the look on your face when you came down the stairs." I crossed my arms waiting for the truth.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Look I gotta go. I'll be back." she smiled. I couldn't say anything. She stepped forward kissed my cheek then took off quickly. Why was she in such a hurry? I would get the truth later. I sighed as she drove off and rejoined Sam and Bobby.
Okay... um I don't mean to go on a bit of rant... but I just kinda wanna put my view out here. Someone commented that NO self-respecting women would get over someone cheating on them... and I'm sorry I know that is their opinion but come on! Dose no one believe true love conquers all anymore? Now I'm not one for marriage, in fact never even had a boyfriend for more than 4 months lol... but I just because a girl would love someone who cheated that doesn't mean she doesn't respect herself... I'm not saying it is right but can't help who we fall for ... I'm sorry that just bothered me..
ANYWAYS! Review I love hearing from you no matter what! I hope you like me even if things are going to get more complicated for Clara, being gifted and all! ahha well thanks for reading! I love you all! xo
