Blood (Castiel X Reader)

Chapter 18

You drove back to the motel, your heart bitter and sad. You moved to where your hair was in your face, getting out of the truck.

"(Y/N)... May I watch over you though the night?" Castiel asked, following close behind.

"I don't care." You replied, your voice emotionless and cold. Castiel's heart hurt from the loss of Jay, so he allowed you to grieve even if it hurt him more. You unlocked your door, not even turning on the light. You almost dove into the shower, trying to scrub the blood off. The water was as hot as it could be as you scrubbed your arms, legs, and everything else that had Jay's blood on it.

"I failed you... I'm so sorry I failed you.." You whispered, your skin red with irritation. When you finally came out of the shower there was one towel hanging up and it was already damp. You grabbed it and wrapped it around yourself, walking back into the main room. Castiel stood next to the door, glancing away from your nearly naked form. You quickly changed and laid in bed, just staring at the wall. Your body moved into a ball as you began to zone out. Castiel stared at you worriedly when you made a very soft whimpering noise. Castiel couldn't stand to see you in so much pain.

Eventually you fell asleep, leaving Castiel completely to his thoughts. He sat on the floor and allowed you to rest, knowing you would eventually wake up. Castiel silently apologized to Jay for not being able to help her. He let one tear roll down his cheek before he controlled his emotions and thought of what he could do.

When morning came you opened your eyes, still staring at the pillow. After a few minutes you sat and and met Castiel's soft gaze from across the room. You quickly looked away and stood up. You went to the bathroom and picked up your clothes, grabbing your towel and putting them in a hamper. You cleaned the bathroom, then cleaned and organized the front room. You went and cleaned the blood out of the truck, organizing the back. Finally you cleared a lamp and desk away from a wall. You ran to the store to grab some supplies for your hunt. Castiel watched you, just wanting you to talk to him. You ignored his presence and taped a map to the wall. You put a red pin in the forest where the vampire nest was. You would need to do more research but Matt's laptop hadn't be used in months. You went out to the truck and went to the back, pulling out the fake floor and moving your weapons slightly. In a few seconds you pulled out a black and silver laptop along with its charger. You walked back inside and opened the laptop, the screen was fine but the keyboard was a strange shape. You began looking up the history of the closest town to have a forest. No 'animal attacks' had been reported so you moved on to a bigger area. With a 1,000 mile radius. 3 reports found. One stood out from the others, it was the most recent.

Yesterday in Yankton Trail park a man was found dead, drained of blood.

"Bingo." You said, startling Castiel slightly. You jumped up and turned to Castiel.

"Can you get me dead man's blood?" You asked him, now excited. Castiel kissed your head.

"It's good to see you smile again." He replied, disappearing. You ran to grab your machete, sitting down and beginning to sharpen it. Your face hardened at the thought that the bastard had killed your friend. She was a hunter in training, she wasn't yet prepared to fight off a nest. You were going to kill the son of a bitch even if it killed you.

Later that day Castiel came back with a small jar of blood.

"(Y/N), are you sure you should charge in there blindly? It's an idiotic act if you get yourself killed." Castiel said, obviously not sugar coating it. You'd snarled and pinned him against the wall, putting your arm on his throat.

"I am going.. This may be the only chance I have to catch and kill the fucker... I'm not missing it." You growled, pulling away and grabbing your machete.

"I am sorry... But I'm not giving this up, not for anyone." You whispered, hopping in your truck. Castiel flew beside you.

"Then I'm coming with you." He stated. You sighed, your jaw tightening. You couldn't fight him so you pulled out of the parking lot and hit the road.

When you pulled up to the trail park the sun was begging to set, you had about an hour of light left. You stepped out of the truck and stretched your muscles. You grabbed your bag, running dead man's blood over your machete and on your neck. You shivered in disgust but powered through it. You quickly began walking through the woods, not caring if the vampire heard you. It was stupid. Reckless.. And you didn't give a fuck. Castiel stayed a short distance from you, watching you carefully in case you were attacked. You gripped your machete so tight, with so much anger that your knuckles were pale. You continued to tromp through the woods, (Y/C) eyes shinning like a lit match. Castiel could practically see the pain, hurt, anger, and homicidal intent you carried. And really, it scared him.

You found it. A cabin in the middle of the trail park, with almost perfect cover. You stretched your arms back before walking toward the cabin, walking around it to find the entrance. You never once turned around as you said,

"Cas... Stay outside.... You're not going to want to see what I'm about to do." A hint of an apology in your eyes. You slowly opened the wooden door, listening for any noise. You slipped inside the house and laughed.

"I knew it was too easy..." You said, looking around you at the four vampires.

"Of course, hot stuff... You thought you could take on a king without his followers?" He grinned, menace in his eyes.

"Get 'er guys." The 'king' said and snapped his fingers. The three of them closely surrounded you as you wound your machete to your side in a small circle.

"Who's first, fucker?" You asked, a slightly insane smile painting your face. The one to your right stepped up and with lightning fast speed you cut his head off, laughing.

"Who's next?" You chimed. The vampire to your left stepped forward, ready for your swing this time. You tackled him to the ground, wrestling him for a second before stabbing his neck repeatedly. Blood spattered as you finally severed his head. The last one went behind you and grabbed your arms, holding them behind your back as you slammed him into a wall. A slightly joyous giggled left your mouth as you immediately turned and threw yourself on the ground backwards, knocking the wind out of him. You pulled out your angel blade and stabbed it into his neck, slashing back and forth against his struggles and decapitating him as well. You stood up, a completely insane smile painting your face as you picked up your machete and slid the angel blade back into your pocket.

"Wow, I guess losing everyone you've ever loved really took a toll on your mental stability.."

"Shut up." You whispered, gritting your teeth.

"Admit it, you're a poison. Everyone you've ever cared about has been murdered.. Not including your dad, you wanted that bastard to go... Because of how he touched you?" The vampires shot back.

"I said Shut up!" You snarled, ready to pounce on him.

"Remember how those demons came for you and killed your poor mother? It was your fault.. Your existence got her killed... Your Matt, don't you remember? You wanted to go after the shifter.... You got yourself captured and she slit his throat.... Then Jay... She knew you, she helped you and now she's dead... All of that blood is on your hands.." The vampire said, melodramatically. Your smile widened.

"You want to know something?... Your bloods going to be on my hands too..." You whispered.

An hour later you went back outside, soaked in blood. You had a crazy smile painted to you face, you had finally snapped.

"Ohhh Caaaaaas!" You chimed. Castiel walked from behind the cabin, a sick, scared, and horrified look on his face.

"Oh, what's the matter?... It's done and we can go home."

"(Y/N)..." Was all Castiel could say as he flew away.
