Taken

Chapter eight

Once the light had died down, Castiel had felt powerful once again. This time he would not lose to a demon. After retaining all his memories, Castiel summoned his angel blade and attacked Lust, determined to save his friend. Lust had been doing his best to fight back but nothing seemed to be working as Castiel sent the human blade flying halfway across the room.

"Now then," Castiel said. "I think it's time for a demon eviction," Castiel cornered Lust against the wall and due to Castiel being powerful he had placed his hand on Lust's forehead. Dean cried out as the black smoke had finally exited his body. Castiel pulled his hand away as Dean collapsed on the floor groaning. "Dean?"

"I think I broke every bone in my body," He mumbled from his place on the floor. "Wait where did he go?" He asked, trying to get up.

"He's gone Dean," Castiel responded as he helped his friend stand up. "How are you feeling?"

"Well I feel like I got hit by a car, did you hit me with a car?" Dean asked. Since Lust had trapped him inside his own head he didn't remember getting thrown around by Castiel during the fight. "Wait, how did you do..." he trailed off, unsure what else to say.

"I'm an Angel Dean," Castiel responded. "You've been possessed by one of the seven deadly sins for almost 48 hours," he continued. "I've been trying to find you for a while since you disappeared from the apartment,"

"What?" That was all Dean could say at Castiel's words. "How is that even possible? Wouldn't that mean that you're dead,"

"No I was not human at first," Castiel said. "I'll explain everything later but right now we need to stop the rest of the sins," he continued. "I know you were in there for most of it, can you pinpoint where they're going to go?" Dean thought long and hard about what he had heard while Lust was in his head.

"I fought against him a lot which he didn't like but I remember that his goal was to reunite with all of his siblings so they can drag more humans down to hell," Dean explained. "The things that creature made me do Cass, he had me kill people," he continued. "I can't ever forgive myself for that,"

"You were never at fault for any of this," Castiel responded as he placed a hand on Dean's shoulder. "It was in control of your body, Dean, it found a weak point that's how it was able to get to you,"

"In my book that doesn't change anything I am the one who said yes," Dean responded. "But I know you and you will spend a lot of time trying to make me feel better, which is time we don't have," he continued. "How do we stop these demons and save all those people?" Castiel had told Dean everything that he needed to know and how to defeat the demons. Starting with the demon trap and finishing it off with the exorcism but the problem was that there would be too many demons to even exorcise after a while they would get tired of it. Suddenly an idea had hit Dean, he was so thankful to be in control of his body again. "I think I may know a way," Meanwhile, back at their location in an old factory, the demons had already started to gather.

They knew that Envy, Pride, and Lust were already taken out which left only Wrath, Greed, and Gluttony who were all meeting in this same factory. Worry had fallen over their faces as their numbers had gone down.

"Lust, Pride, and Envy are down for the count," Wrath said. "Which means we need to be extra prepared in case Dean and Castiel show up,"

"Why can't we just find new hosts for them?" Sloth yawned. He didn't feel like doing anything since it would be a lot of work to pull this off without help.

"Shut up!" Gluttony screamed.

"Yeah!" Greed exclaimed. "If you haven't already forgotten, the hosts have to say yes," he continued. "Otherwise it won't work,"

"And we can't keep on searching for new hosts, it'll take a lot of time away," agreed Wrath.

"Fine but this is all so much work, I just want to get this done so we can have all the souls we desire," Sloth responded. While the demons were talking, Dean and Castiel had arrived at the location and saw that they were already planning a new tactic; thankfully, they had a plan set in motion. First Dean was going to enter the factory and distract all the demons while Castiel trapped every one of them in the factory and played back the chant.

"Alright, you know the plan right Cass?" Dean asked.

"Yes, you sneak in and distract the demons while I salt all the windows and the doors," Castiel explained. "After that, we play the recording back and all the demons will get exorcised," he continued. "But Dean, please be careful and don't get possessed again,"

"You got it," Dean said as he walked toward the factory and quickly hid around the side, Dean walked around the back and snuck in making sure to hide behind some crates. He could hear the demons talking, but if he was going to get this plan to work he had to make sure that it did happen. He pushed an old crate over as it crashed onto the ground splintering into a million pieces. Immediately, the demons turned and saw Dean, Lust's old host. "Oops, Did I do that?"

"Well look who it is," Wrath said. "You decided to join this party?"

"You see I would but I should... Get going," Dean said and took off in the opposite direction

"Don't just stand there!" Yelled wrath at not only his siblings but also the other demons in the factory. "Get him!" Dean ran toward one of the broken windows and when he was in direct sunlight that just so happened to be pouring through the broken window he flashed his phone toward Castiel giving him the signal that it was his go. Castiel had seen it and started to salt the windows and the doors making sure that no demons could get out. Dean tried to run past the demons but two of them had grabbed him and tossed him against the wall. Dean hit the wall and groaned in pain, briefly disoriented, he tried to stand up only for Greed and Gluttony to grab him and force him to kneel.

"This is all you've got Dean?" Wrath said as Dean struggled to break free from the two demons' grips but he couldn't. "I wondered how Lust was forced out of your body but now that you're here, I'm sure he wouldn't mind getting his body back,"

"Screw off bitch," Dean said.

"My my, you're also quite angry," Wrath said. "You know humans are filled with so much sin that it's hard to picture them as unsinful," she continued. "Now, how about we try this again, you let him in and we can forget any of this ever happened, you could be part of our world Dean, a place where you won't feel any pain, not even sorrow," Dean had to continue to stall and hope that Castiel would hurry up with the chant. "Isn't that what you wanted Dean? A way to hide all the pain especially since we've killed your brother?" Dean's fight or flight instinct had kicked in and he struggled more to break free. But before Wrath could say anything else, suddenly all throughout the factory the exorcism chant had gone off.
