Disclaimer: I don't own SPN.

Sorry if this is not up to scratch but I had a late shift at work and typed this up in a hurry before I went to bed. Also, I posted a one shot called Black, which was the original drabble before I went overboard, so go check it out!

85. Black

"Dean?" Castiel said in panic. He couldn't see a thing! "Dean, where are you?"

He heard the loud cackling of the witch nearby but his vision was completely black as a result of the spell she had hit him with.

"I'm here, Cas!" he heard. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know!" Castiel fumbled around until his hands met cold brick. "The witch cast some sort of spell on me! I can't see!"

Castiel felt a hand curl in his hair and he was yanked away from the wall. He let out a surprised cry as he was dragged along in a strong grip that he couldn't see.

"C'mon, sweetcheeks," he heard a female voice coo and he immediately knew that it was the witch who had him.

"Hey!" Castiel heard Dean roar and he immediately turned his head in the direction of the sound, wincing when the grip in his hair tightened. An arm snaked its way around his neck and held him firmly in place.

"You got two choices, honey!" the witch said. Castiel could practically feel Dean stiffen attentively. "I'm leavin' and takin' this fine young man with me. The rest is up to you. Ya follow me, I take your boyfriend and ya never see him again. I walk free, you can have him back and that blindness will disappear as soon as I'm gone!"

The witch began to move, taking Castiel with her. Castiel struggled to get free but the witch had his hair in a death grip and without his sight, he was practically helpless to run away from her. All he could do was stumble along, trying his best not to fall over.

"That's it, sweetie," the witch said. "Y'know, I hope your boyfriend does follow. I'd love to keep someone like ya."

Castiel swallowed.

"But I keep my word. If he lets me go, I let you go. Fair, right?"

"What's not fair is cursing me with blindness," Castiel snarled, feeling chilly air on his face as the witch hauled him outside. She just laughed softly and patted him on the head.

"Well, I'm out. Don't say I ain't a woman of my word. Later, handsome!"

Castiel was suddenly pushed to the ground hard. Winded, he didn't move until he felt someone kneel over him and shake him gently.

"Cas?" Dean said. "You okay?"

Castiel forced his eyes open, having shut them during his fall, and he was thrilled to find that his vision had returned and he could see Dean!

"I can see you!" he said in wonder. Dean laughed and pulled Castiel into a hug.

"Guess that bitch – sorry, witch – really did keep her word after all," he commented. All Castiel could do was grin and hug back, relishing the feeling of being able to see Dean again.
