hey guys- i'm back in buisness! so sorry this has taken me so long- stupid nook...

anywho, i'm happy to announce that i've offically completed this story! i just need to upload all the chapters. i have a question for you guys: should i post all of the chapters in the same day, or should i post a chapter every day? let me know when you finish this SHORT chapter in a comment or something and i'll do it

thank you reviewers! you guys are so good at posting something, i'm really impressed. wolfenergy17 and Squidtastik- YOU ROCK! (really guys, you should follow by their example)

let's get on with the chapter, shall we?

Dean's whole world began to crumble around him. "No." He whispered, voice ragged with grief and shock. "No- there has to be another way!" His green eyes desperately scanned the other's faces. John's head was buried in his hands as silent sobs wracked his frame. Sam was in shock, his face dead white and his chocolate brown eyes wide. He too, was shaking his head slowly. And the angel? Cas stood apart from the Winchester boys, his hands limp at his sides. He was the only one who made eye contact with Dean.

Dean hadn't ever met another angel before, but he couldn't imagine them feeling human emotion. How could they? They weren't human themselves. But the agony in Castiel's blue eyes tore Dean apart. In that exact moment, Dean accepted Castiel into the family because only family could look this way when one of their own was taken.

"You have no idea how much I wish this wasn't true." Castiel murmured, eyes still locked with Dean's. "But there isn't any other way to save Kat from this fate worse than death. You know this is what she'd want."

He nodded woodenly, still reeling from the news that he'd have to kill his twin sister, only days after just finding her again. That demon was going to pay, Dean would make sure of it.

soooo... what did you think? so sorry this was such a wimpy chapter- i needed some filler before the big stuff comes in.

are you glad that overprotective Dean has finally excepted Cas into the Winchester Clan? are you as sad as i am that they have to kill Kat? (BTW, you dont have to answer any of these questions- im just really bored :P )
