Betrayed

Chapter 4

"Stay away from me!" Scarlet shrieks, raising a hand and throwing Castiel into the wall behind him. He falls to the ground but quickly recovers, a thin line of blood dripping from his mouth. He glares at Scarlet, and she flinches under the power of his flaming blue eyes. 

"Listen to me!" He hisses, throwing Scarlet back and sending her crashing into her dresser, toppling it and her over.

"Why should I you bastard?" She yells, scrambling up and leaning against the wall, a small gash on her forehead from the broken splinters of wood, her eyes glowing a pale white, with small slivers of red dotting the rage.

"Please." Castiel begs, lowering his arms to the side. "You are going to stay with Dean and Sam until either the threat of angels and demons trying to kill you is gone, or I can find you somewhere safe where you can stay." 

"And why should we trust these people?" She snaps, tears swelling in her eyes and dripping down her cheeks. "I tried killing them both, they hate me. They probably want me dead just as much as Raphael." Castiel sighs as he softens his gaze, walking over to her and putting a hand on her shoulder. 

"No, they don't. Trust me. They've already forgiven you, and told me themselves that you can stay with them. Believe me, you can trust them. They're good people." Scarlet walks past Castiel and stands in her doorway, leaning against the wooden post and sweeps her gaze across her room. Clothes from her broken dresser lay scattered everywhere, pieces of broken splintered wood scatter about under the remains of her bookshelf. Books litter the floor, and holes are punched everywhere in the crumbling drywall. This entire mess was made in less then 10 minutes, between Scarlet and Castiel. 

"I... I don't know. I mean, I don't even know the people." Scarlet stammers, her eyes drifting back up to Castiel, full of confusion and worry. 

"Scarlet please! Dean comes off as rough, yes I know, but he really isn't. He's a good man. And Sam..." Castiel trails off, furrowing his brow. 

"What about Sam?" Scarlet asks suspiciously, narrowing her eyes. 

"Sam is hard to explain. He's... Strange, but friendly most of the time. Don't worry about him." Cas glances around the messy room, running a hand through his hair. "Just give them a chance, please. If it doesn't work out... I'll personally keep you with me." Scarlet stands for a moment, playing with her hair before she nods, looking down.  

"Alright, fine. I'll go with them. But just remember: I'm going to be with your boyfriend. Break a promise, I break his neck." Castiel laughs, looking at the ground. 

"Fair enough. I won't... I promise to you they are good." 

"Okay. Now go. I need to pack and gather my thoughts." Scarlet says, stepping into her room and pointing outside, staring at Cas. 

"Alright alright." Cas saunters out, gently closing the door behind him. As Castiel walks out, Scarlet blinks, calming the anger inside of her enough so that her eyes turn back to normal.

"God!" Scarlet groans,turning around and throwing herself onto her bed, laying face down. As she just lays there, she lets the tears flow. All of the emotions bottled up inside her, all come out. She softly cries, screams, curses into her pillow. After about fifteen minutes of this, she stops and reaches under her pillow, grabbing her iPod and phone and turning them both on. Unlocking her iPod, Scarlet pushes on the music icon then presses play on her play list titled Christmas. Who cares if it isn't Christmas? TSO can be played at any time of year. As Wizards in Winter blares around the room, Scarlet rolls off of her bed and lands on the ground, reaching under her bed and yanking out a black suitcase, throwing it on top of the bed. Huffing, Scarlet unzips it and pushes it open,sitting there for a moment.
