The Red Spiral𖦹

𖦹21- bug like an angel𖦹

Sam tried to pry Elara's hands off, but she was too strong. He eventually couldn't breathe and was starting to lose consciousness. ''Sammy!!'' Dean exclaimed. He snuck up behind Elara, sense she was so busy choking the life out of his brother, and stabbed her with the angel blade. Her eyes, mouth, and body all lit up, and she jerked a bit before she died, landing on top of Sam. Her hands were still on his neck. Dean shoved her off. ''Hey, hey!! Sam? Come on now, we have to save Cas!!'' He slapped his face a bit and Sam slowly came to. Dean smiled in relief. ''There we go...yeah...come on now.'' He helped him sit up. ''You good?'' Sam nodded, rubbing his sore neck / throat. ''Yeah... I...I think so.'' He cleared his throat and slowly stood up. ''Ok...come on.'' They made their way towards the box. They found a door and opened it. The 1st thing that they noticed was that it was absolutely freezing. It looked like an ice box or freezer for meat The next thing they noticed horrified them.

There was Cas, sitting against the wall, eyes half open, skin and lips blue, looking dead.

''CAS!!'' Both brothers yelled, quickly going up to him. Dean touched his face. It was so cold. ''C-cas?'' He said. ''We have to get him out of here,'' Sam said. Dean nodded, and he quickly picked up his too-stiff body. They left the ice box and lay him down on the warm ground. They had no idea what to even do. This hypothermia was so severe. ''Is he even breathing?'' Sam asked. ''I-I don't think so.'' Dean was starting to cry now. ''H-He's gone, Sammy. He is really gone...This is all my fault.'' He has taken Castiel's frozen hand in his. ''Cas...I don't know if you can hear me, man but I am so... I am so so sorry for ever sending you to this God-forsaken place. If I could take it all back, I swear that I would. But...I hope that wherever you are...you are happy...and free of your uh...mental illnesses. And...and I hope that you forgive us. We all loved you.'' He looked down, still sobbing. 

They heard footsteps slowly approaching. It was Ezra. ''I knew that something was wrong...you guys were gone for too long...'' He looked over at Elara's dead body, and then at Castiel's. he kneeled beside him. ''He was a good friend.'' He said quietly. And then his face lit up. ''What the hell are you so happy about?'' Sam asked, sniffling. ''Wait here!!'' Ezra announced as he ran off.

A few minutes later, he came back with a girl. ''This is Lilly. She kept it a secret, but she is a Nephilim.'' She knelt before Cas. ''Hopefully, he does not have brain damage by now.'' She said quietly. Her eyes glowed orange as did her fingertips as she placed her hands on the side of Castiel's head. ''Shut your eyes.'' She warned. Sam and Dean knew the drill by now. Ezra closed his eyes too. A big white light exploded in the room. And whenever it died down and it was safe to open their eyes again, they looked at Cas.

There he was, good as new, lying there, unfrozen and breathing. The brothers could not thank Lilly enough. She just smiled and walked away. Dean slowly helped Cas sit up. ''H-Hey man, you good?'' ''i...I think so...what happened?'' Dean frowned. ''You do not remember?'' ''No...'' ''Elara...that dead demon over there,'' Ezra pointed. ''Put you in an ice box. You died...but Lilly saved you. ''Wow...I am...astonished.'' He moved his tongue a bit. ''My tooth is still gone.'' He slowly lifted up his shirt. ''My cut is healed!! Just scarred like my neck and arms now.'' he put his shirt back down. He was still mentally ill. He could feel it. He figured that he would be forever. ''We are getting the hell out of here. Now. Screw this place.'' Sam said, standing up. Dean and Cas stood up too. They were about to walk away until Cas quietly said, ''Stop...'' He turned and looked at Ezra. ''I do not want to...I will not leave you.'' ''But Cas...you have your own family to get back to.'' ''And so do you. How long have you been here, Ezra? Just be honest with me now, please.'' ''2 years.'' Cas felt a deep sadness in his heart. ''What...just for kleptomania? That is absurd. Come with us...please. Or call your family!!'' Ezra shook his head, looking down. ''Dont you get it, Cas? I have no damn family!! Nobody wants me to live with them because they think that I will just steal all their stuff. Maybe they are not wrong. I am grateful that I was not tortured and I am grateful that you are leaving. But there is nowhere else for me but here. Hollowed Creek is all that I know.'' ''But it does not have to be!! This place is not helping you heal. It is not helping anybody. Lilly, Zara, Liam, Kenji...everybody else...just...we can help them.'' Ezra sighed, looking away. But a new hopeful look was in his eyes. ''Alright...I guess that I can come with you...if it is ok with your friends?'' Sam and Dean nodded. Cas smiled. He was so happy to have Ezra join him. Maybe things were finally starting to look better.

At the bunker, they all sat around. Ezra talked to Sam and Dean about their hunting, and what monsters were real and what were not. And what could kill them? He talked a bit about his klepto and experiences at Hollowed Creek. Now, they just needed to find a way to get Lilly and the others either back to their families, with somebody who cared, or even possibly with them. But unfortunately, they could not house everybody. 

Cas was so happy to be back. He sat aways a bit, looking at his true friends and family, he knew exactly what he had to do.
