All You Did was Save my Life

Keeping Secrets

            "Are you alright?" Cas asked Gabriel. The younger angel had just gotten back from helping Balthazar and had been greeted by Dean telling him he was going back in time to get some ashes so they could defeat Eve. Now Cas was sitting in the kitchen with Gabriel, who was staring off into space.

            "Hmmm?" Gabriel said, looking over.

            "Are you alright?" Cas repeated.

            "Yeah, fine," Gabriel replied absently and Cas stared at him worriedly, but left it at that. When Gabriel wanted to talk he would.

            Gabriel did want to talk, but he had promised Sam he wouldn't say anything. but then, what could he say? Even in a world of angels and demons, hallucinating Lucifer wasn't normal. He just hoped Sam did as he had agreed and told Gabriel if it happened again.

            Upstairs, Sam was lying in bed. He had headed up there as soon as they got back saying that he had a headache and was feeling tired. Now he was tossing and turning, plagued by memories of burning fire.

            He sat up suddenly, eyes wide and breathing heavily.

            "It's fine," he muttered, "He's not here. He's not real." He looked around anyway, half expecting to see Lucifer standing in the room. He heard a creak on the stairs and lied back down, closing his eyes, just as the door opened and Gabriel crept in. Sam tried to even out his breathing so the archangel wouldn't know he was awake as Gabe climbed into bed. Sam kept his face turned away and opened his eyes, but closed them almost immediately when he saw Lucifer sitting on the top of the dresser, smirking at him.

So this wasn't originally the chapter I was going to upload today and it is much shorter than I planned. However, I think the next chapter will make up for it. I've had a crazy writing week and you will soon see why.

Thank you so much for reading and let me know what you think!
