Ezra's eyes widened. ''What?'' ''Yes...I know that it may be hard to comprehend. But it is true. Angels, demons, vampires, ghosts...all of that stuff is real.'' ''How do I know that this is just not part of your mental illness?'' ''I can prove it to you. I may have fallen to the point where I am basically human, but I can still do this.'' He looked over. ''Hey, Zara!! Come here!!'' Zara did so. ''Yeah?'' He put 2 fingers up to their forehead and they instantly passed out. Ezra jumped a bit. ''Whoa!! Are they dead...?'' ''No, they will wake up in a few hours. I did that to my good friend Bobby whenever I arrived on earth. My friend Dean never really believed that angels were real. Until he went to hell and I gripped him tight and brought him back. He now has a scar of my handprint on his shoulder. I made my grand entrance in a barn, lights flickering and sparks flying. They tried to shoot me and stab me, but it did not work. It probably would now though.'' ''Wow...that is crazy!!'' ''Yeah...'' Cas frowned a bit. ''I...I still feel kind of off from that orange juice and those pills...'' ''How do you feel like? I am kind of worried about you.'' ''Like...forgetful and like I cannot think straight. Woozy...like I seriously do not remember what Elara ad I talked about. It is scaring me. Ezra, there is something severely wrong with this place...Elara is literally a demon. They are out to get me. Nothing is real!!''
''Cas...that is your name, right? It would be best if you stayed calm. I am right here and I am real, ok?'' He slowly and carefully placed his hand on his knee, to prove even more that he was real. ''Thanks, Ezra. I just...can I ask you something?'' But before Ezra could reply, Elara came up to Cas. ''Castiel...please come with me.'' She was speaking in too sweet of a voice. Cas slowly rose and went towards her. He did not look back at Ezra this time.
Elara has taken Cas into a white room. It kind of hurt his eyes how white it was. ''What...What am I doing in here?'' It kind of reminded him of whenever he was in that room in heaven with Naomi.''
Suddenly, Cas magically found himself in a dentist's chair with a straitjacket on. Elaras eyes were black. ''What are you doing?!'' He exclaimed, terrified.
''Just hold still...this will only take a moment.'' She brought out a pair of pliers. Castiels eyes widened. He was having serious flashbacks to whenever Naomi given him a lobotomy. ''WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!!?!? STOPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!'' He tried to get away but Elara was much stronger. He felt the pliers grip a tooth towards the back of his mouth and yank with incredible force. He couldn't even scream in pain. It was too unbearable. He simply passed out.
Whenever he awoke, he was somehow in his bed. He was still in a lot of pain. But everything felt hazy, like he had been given medicine. He did not want to sit up, but he could feel dried blood all around his mouth and blood in his mouth. {So salty and sweet...} he thought. He looked at his hands, they had dried blood on them too. It reminded him of whenever he painted the red spiral. His tongue instinctively went to the hole in his gums, which were very swollen, but he found that there was gauze.
He lied there weakly, wishing for Ezra.
Back at Sam and Deans, they had just finished a case and were sitting around waiting for a new case. Dean was drinking beer as usual and Sam was on his computer. Suddenly, he closed the computer lid. ''Dean...I have a bad feeling about Cas...'' ''What do you mean?'' Dean asked. ''I mean, we really just let him go there. To hollowed creek. We have no idea about that place. I know that there was no choice because he attempted suicide but...I just wish that Meg or somebody else could keep a watchful eye. I mean, doesn't Hollowed Creek sound much creepier than Glenwood Springs? Plus, I just looked it up online and found articles about it being 'creepy' and 'haunted'. There was even a picture!! Dean, I am just saying. It looks like a damn gothic church.''
''Maybe you are right, Sammy. Tell you what, tomorrow we can see about visiting him, alright?'' ''Alright...''
It was nighttime at Hollowed Creek now. Cas was getting worse and worse. He felt like he had a fever, his mouth hurt, he was sweaty, having hot and cold flashes, and he could not get his body to stop shaking.
He heard his door creak open. His shaking intensified as his heart raced. He let out the biggest sigh of relief whenever he seen Ezra's familiar shadow. ''E-Ezra...? Is that you?'' He said quietly. Ezra nodded twice. He was in his pajamas, clearly, he snuck out of bed. ''I came to check on you and make sure that you were ok. You never came back after Elara taken you.'' Cas shuddered. Ezra frowned. ''You do not look so well...what did she do to you?'' Tears started involuntarily streaming down Castiel's thin face. ''She hurt me real bad, Ezra. Real bad.'' Ezra seemed sympathetic, and angry at Elara. ''I can tell that you have been through a lot, Cas. Things that no humans understand. Except maybe your friends. If I could heal you, I would.'' Cas smiled weakly. ''Thanks, you better get back to bed before Elara finds you. I will try to rest now.'' Ezra nods. ''I hope that you feel better in the morning. Bye, Cas...'' He walked away hesitantly.
Cas drifted off into a sweaty feverish sleep. He hoped that tomorrow would be better. He hoped that Elara would leave him alone. He hoped that the new hole in his gums would be ok. He only hoped that Sam and Dean could save him.
