How To Be a Hunter- A Supernatural Fanfic

Chapter 14

My eyes flew over to a demon who fell to the ground in a lifeless heap and looked up to see Dean, Cas, and Sam along with Gabriel, Crowley, and another man I didn't recognize. Suddenly all the demons and angels shifted away from me to their new threat and started towards them. Dean and the rest of them ran into the large mass and Cas ran to me, picking me up and carrying me to the safety of the forest.

"No, Cas! We have to help them! We can't leave them!" I shouted trying to make him let me go as I shoved my fists against his chest.

"I can't let anything bad happen to you Stella." He replied in his deep and serious tone.

"Please, Cas. I can't let anything bad happen to them either." I cried. 

Once we were far away from the scene he put me down and held me still so I couldn't run back to the clearing. "Stella." He whispered. "Please, you have no idea how much you mean to me. I can't, I won't, let anything bad happen to you. I'd rather die than watch you get hurt. So please, let me protect you." He said desperately, his eyes searched mine in sincerity. His hands lifted up to my cheeks and brushed away the tears that fell out of my eyes. "Stella, I love you. I don't mean that as a friendly way. I sincerly love you and need you safe. As long as you're alive, then I have a reason to fight, I can't lose you." His eyes started to fill with tears and he tried to blink them away. 

I smiled at him. "Hey, Cas, look at me. Look at me." I said in a gentle voice and he looked back up at me. "Cas, the way you've treated me this past week has meant the world to me. Your love for me is exactly what I needed to get through my problems. Cas, you made me okay, in just a week, you made me okay. No one, not even family, could do what you have done for me. Cas I love you too. I really do. I don't ever want to lose you." Then I thought of Dean and sighed. "I just don't know though. I thought I knew what love was but maybe it was all just lust, maybe it was all an impersinator of love. Cas I can't be with anyone right now, I'm too dangerous and I need to do what I was put here to do. Falling in love isn't what I was put here to do. I don't want to put you into anymore danger, Castiel. You mean too much to me." 

He nodded and a tear fell out of his eye. He then did what I didn't expect him to do, he kissed me. It was sweet and tender, nothing like Dean's, this one was more just filled with pure unadulturated love with nothing else between it. He really did love me. I pulled back and looked into his eyes. "Cas." I whispered. I opened my mouth to say how much he meant to me but that was when a searing pain ripped at my back and then ripped out, which was followed by the feeling of a warm liquid seeping onto my back. 

"No!" I heard Cas scream as I fell to the ground, but it sounded so distant. I looked up to see a demon with a knife in his hand that was covered in fresh blood, my blood, stabbed by Cas and then he quickly fell to the ground next to me. "Stella? Stella! Stay with me okay? Please!" I saw his beautiful blue eyes peer down me and tears roll down his cheeks. 

I tried to smile reassuringly and I reached my shaky hand to his face. "Hey remember what I promised? I promised everything will be okay. It will be, okay Cas? Don't worry," I croaked out.

He shook his head and picked me up and carried me back to the clearing. He set me down in the grass and my head rolled to the side and I saw everyone stopped fighting and just stared at me. My eyes found Dean's and I saw his mouth form the word "No" as he ran to me and knelt by my side. "No please Stella, you can't die! You can't!" Dean cried out. 

I opened my mouth to speak but no sound came out and I sighed. "Stella, please. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I do care about you, I really do. I was scared Stella. I was terrified by the fact that you have God pumping through those veins. I didn't know what to do. Please, forgive me." He cried. "I love you, Stella. I'll never stop loving you. Don't leave me." He smiled and pulled out my iPod from his back pocket and hit play and I recognized the song Crazy Beautiful play out, and then Dean started to sing along. "Isn't she cray-crazy beautiful? Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful? And I think I love her more than I even understand." He paused it. "Thats my song for you. I love you Stella, more than I ever could express. You're the one." 

I started crying when he sang, not because I was dying, because I always had a dream of the man I was supposed to be with singing it. But I just couldn't take Dean seriously. "Don't you dare get all touchy feely, or I swear, I will haunt you." I smiled. 

He smiled back through his tears and leaned down to kiss me--

Dean's P.O.V

I sat back up to stare down at her and when I looked at her, I no longer saw the life in her eyes that was once there. The blue eyes that I fell in love with were now dull. "Stella? Stella! No Stella! Help! Please help!" I cried out. I held her head to my chest and rocked her back and forth. "Stella come back!" I leaned my head down and pressed my lips to her head and closed my eyes and sat there in silence.

"Dean." I felt a hand clamp over my shoulder and I looked up to see an unfamiliar face. "Dean, this is what I meant to happen, she had to die to bring back Eden." 

"Who are you?" I hissed through clenched teeth.

"I'm God, the real God." 

"Oh now you decide to show your face!?!? After she's dead! You killed an innocent girl! Why would you do that!?!" I shouted. 

"Death is a hard thing, I know, but it was the only thing that could bring back peace. Her death was felt by both the good," He motioned to Cas who stared at her lifeless body in complete shock as his body shook. "And the bad." He motioned to Crowley who had to sit down as he stared at her and I realized he loved her like a father loved a daughter. "Her death brought us together, Dean. It was a necessary sacrifice.

I looked back down at her lifeless body and thought about all the times she was alive. When she totally bit my head off since I treated her poorly, when we trained together, when we first kissed, all of it. I let my fingers glide over her eyelid and shut her beautiful eyes. "Well then where's Eden?" 

"Dean, look harder, it's all around you, this was just an illusion. " I looked up at God in confusion and he motioned to Stella. I looked back down to see her glowing which I could only assume was her soul. As it poured out of her I saw the world around me change into this beautiful and colorful mania that was full of life. The scenery not only changed but I felt an overwhelming sense of peace come over me and as that peace filled my heart, I saw it change the demons as the darkness poured out into the ground and a new light filled them. They were now human.

I smiled as I saw all the changes around me and soon started to forget any sadness I once had. Why was I even sad? I thought to myself. I looked down at my feet and saw flowers sprout out into life. I looked back up to see that God was gone, I looked over to see Cas who was staring at the ground in sadness. "Why are you so sad?" I asked in confusion. We're in Eden my friend. I clapped his shoulder and walked away. 

 

Cas's P.O.V

Well Eden, worked. Stella did what she was put here to do. She brought back Eden, she brought back peace, she brought back happiness. But with that happiness Dean forgot who she was and as did every human around me, including Crowley who is now human. The valley finally cleared out as the humans roamed around their new home, but I stayed, keeping my eye on where Stella once layed in a lifeless heap in hope that maybe she will come back. 

Please, God, bring her back.
