Niomi glared at the angel before her, branding her blade.
"I'm sorry, Castiel," she apologized, though her voice showed no signs of remorse. The blade dug into him and his eyes widened. The door rattled as Dean and Sam tried to break it down.
"Please," Cas begged, "Before they get in..."
"You were never going to be given redemption for your acts against us, Castiel," she whispered, "We decided to punish you, instead. The only way we knew how," she unlocked the doors and Dean and Sam barreled in and fell on thier face, "Your precious humans." She turned and dug the blade further in and Cas burst into light, burning out of his vessel from the inside.
"Cas!" Dean screamed, rushing to his feet, but Niomi was long gone, leaving a dead angel in her wake. Dean dropped down beside the dead body and slapped his face a few times, tears barely kept from dripping down onto the beige trenchcoat.
"Dean. We need to go," Sam tugged on his arm. Dean gripped Cas' coat tighter.
"No..."
"Dean! Come on!" Sam yelled.
"No!" he screamed, louder, tears finally falling over. Sam bit his lip and looked over his shoulder, briefly, before pushing Dean out of the way of the angel, completely. He pulled the coat of the still body before dropping his lighter on it.
"Go! Dean!" Sam hissed, tossing the coat to his brother. Dean attempted to grab the body from the flames - he wasn't ready to let go, yet - but only produced a few soft feathers before Sam pulled him away.
Dean clung to the coat and feathers as the flames rose up in the building.
