Changing Fate

Chapter 11

Well, here's the next chapter, sorry I haven't been updating much, I have had literally no internet for what feels like forever. Anyways enjoy this, (if you can it's complete drabble is2g)

Clark's P.O.V

Gabe was awake the next day, and was feeling marginally better, physically. Mentally, I could see his anguish at knowing his best friend was gone and he had been spared.

While Cas talked to him and Kate fussed over him, my phone rang. Glancing at who it was, I decided I had to answer.

"Hello?...Yes....okay....sorry Squirrel I'm not home right now....No I understand..."

I could feel the others eavesdropping on my one-sided conversation. "Hang on one minute Squirrel"

I covered the speaker. "I'm just going outside for a minute guys," I stammer, moving towards the door.

Once outside, I go to my car, talking as I shut the door.

"I'll be there soon Squirrel," I assure her. As my engine revs, I see Kate watching me through the window.

I feel a flicker of guilt at leaving them now, but I have no choice.

Before I can change my mind, I switch gears and put my foot down on the accelerator, speeding away.

Kate's P.O.V

I could have stopped her, or at least told the others sooner.

It's been two days. Gabe isn't strong enough for us to leave yet, and Cas refuses to leave anyway before Clark returns.

She could at least pick up her phone, but I have a suspicion that she won't be found before she wants.

I had noticed that the morning she left, she had been acting strangely, regarding me warily, and avoiding Cas altogether, which is quite a feat, considering there was five of us in a 5x5 metre space.

I should have confronted her about it, but I guess I was too late.

I'm always too late.

Too late to save my family, too late to save hers.

Cas' P.O.V

I don't understand why she would leave.

Dean's P.O.V

On the third day, I start to lose my mind. We haven't left this room, except to get food from the vending machine.

There's a knock on the door and I open it a crack,expecting the cleaning staff, as it has been every morning. It's not. On the doorstep stands Neko. Now that, I was not expecting.

'Can I come in?'

I usher her in, closing the door behind her.

Kate hops down from her position on the counter by the mini-fridge.

'Neko?'

'That is me.'

'What are you doing here? Did Clark send you?' Cas sounds almost frantic.

'No.'

Cas droops into the bed.

'I have information.'

We all perk up to hear, even Gabe who is propped up on a mountain of pillows.

'I know where Clark is.'

We await her revelation, her British accent clipping each word.

'She's in Hell.'

Cas' P.O.V.

'What?' I choke out.

I can't process this. How could she be in Hell? That meant she was..dead. No that couldn't be right.

'How do you know?'

I moved towards Neko in the crowded room. Kate stopped me, a concerned look on her face.

'I-I saw it.'

'Tell me what you saw exactly.' My voice was detached and lacked tone.

I saw Kate glance at me again, and her expression hit me like a punch. My eyes flickered to everyone else in the room. Their expressions mirrored one other. I didn't need their pity. I needed to know what happened.

Neko's P.O.V

I licked my lips before I started into my story.

'Well the truth is, I've known all of you a lot longer than you've known me.'

'What do you mean?' both Kate and Dean asked, furrowing their eyebrows, reflections of each other. I almost laughed, but bit my lip to stop myself.

'I've been observing you. For a long time.'

'Stalking us you mean,' Gabe piped up. I had nearly forgotten he was here.

'I mean- you could say that- but it was for your own good.'

They stayed silent, simply watching me with a range of expressions on their faces from anger to bewilderment.

'You're not normal. You need to be protected. There are plans for all of you.'

'So you're a guardian angel then,' Dean sneered at me.

'Not exactly. More like a messenger.'

'Fat lot of good your protection did us. If what you say is true, then three of us are dead.'

Kate's sharp tone cut me.

'At least I went looking for them. What did you lot do? Nothing.'

They at least had the conscience to look guilty.

'That's what I thought. Now do you want to hear what happened or not?'

They all nodded sombrely, eager for the truth of the matter.

Changing Fate is nearly finished, there will only be 2 or 3 more chapters after this. On the other hand, I'm contemplating writing a sequel, maybe.

Kate- emmarowlette
Neko- neko_is_a_dumb
Clark- me
