Supernatural: Betrayal

Chapter 4

"You killed my wife and you expect me to not be angry?!" Crowley yelled.

"She was going to bring my wall down, we had no choice," Faith protested.

"Of course you did, you just choose the wrong one!"

"Are you going to help us or not, Fergus MacLeod?" Cass asked.

Crowley went from rage to surprise, "How do you know that?"

"We'll tell you as soon as you tell us what we need to know," Sam said.

"And that is what exactly?"

"Where's the Colt?" Dean asked.

"I don't know! Cashmere already told you. Only your schizophrenic sister knows that!" Crowley replied.

"So you can be no use to us," Sam said. Dean then nodded to Cass who pulled out the bag of Crowley's bones. The bag then caught on fire and they all watched Crowley's body rise up in flames. His screams filled the house and when the bones were nothing, but ash, Crowley's body disappeared.

"Oh my god, we actually killed Crowley!" Faith screamed. Dean looked at Sam who was half smiling, half scolding. Dean smiled and started to laugh. He rushed at Faith, who took it by surprise. Dean twirled his sister around and hugged her. Her face, full of laughter and love, filled the whole house with joy. Bobby, Ellen, Jo, and Ash were celebrating in their rooms. They didn't want to get in the way of the four of them. Dean let his sister go and went to hug Cass. Cass was smiling, but in a way that wasn't very convincing.

"What's up with you," Dean asked.

"We killed Crowley so does this mean that his hold over Faith is gone?"

Dean thought about it and smiled, "I guess so!" Cass's face then turned, full of happiness, and he hugged one of the best friend's he has ever had. Faith walked across the foyer and stopped in front of Sam.

"So you're free?" he asked her.

She nodded, "Yeah, I think so." She smiled at him and he returned the smile. He ran to her and lifted her off her feet. She threw her arms around his neck and leaned her head against his shoulder. He put her back on her feet and embraced her. 

"I'm sorry I tried to kill you," he apologized.

"It wasn't your fault. If I had been you in that position, I probably would've done that too." Sam released his sister. They turned to find Cass and Dean glaring at them. "What," Faith asked.

"Well let's see, I would like to hug my brother and Cass would like to hug his fiancé." She smiled and moved to Cass. Dean walked up to his brother and hugged him. "Thank god you and Faith aren't out to kill each other. She does have a slight advantage with the angel thing, you know?" Dean said to his brother.

"Yeah, well we can blame Cass for that." On the other side, Faith and Cass were having a moment. She was bundled up in his arms and he was rocking her back and forth. He rested his chin on the top of her head and had his eyes closed. Jo had come down at this exact moment and when she saw them, she quietly walked into the library and grabbed her camera. She then quietly walked in front of them and took a picture. The flash from her camera had snapped Faith and Cass out of the dream and they both stared at Jo.

"What? I have to get pictures ready for the wedding scrapbook," she defended.

Faith frowned, "what scrapbook?"

Jo's eyes went big, "oh nothing!" Cass smiled and returned to hugging Faith.

Dean walked over to Jo, "Let me see the camera." She handed Dean the camera. He flipped through the pictures of Faith and Cass. There were pictures before she fell in the cage and after. He was astonished at how she could've taken those pictures without him noticing.

He handed her back the camera, "they're going to love it." She smiled and went back upstairs. When Dean returned his attention back to his brother and sister, he noticed that they were gone. They must've gone to their rooms. So Dean did the same.

******************************************************************************

Faith was in her room sitting on her bed. She was alone, listening to the music box her father had given her. The song it played was As Time Goes On. John used to hum it to her before she went to sleep.  She was thinking about the Colt and what Cashmere had told her. 'Only the angel born a child could find it.' The words rang in her ears as if they were a tuning fork. "Time," she said to herself. It was all coming together.

"That's it! Time!" She rushed out of her room and started banging on Dean's door. She then moved to Sam's door and then Cass's. Dean was the first to come out of his room followed by Cass and then Sam.

"What is it, Faith," Dean asked.

"I think I know where the Colt is." That certainly got everyone's attention.

"Where," Sam asked.

"Time," she said. The three of them looked at each other with confusion. Faith sighed, "Time travel! Dad must've destroyed it, but the past doesn't erase itself. We go back in time, find Samuel Colt and the gun and come back with it."

"What's all the ruckus about," Bobby asked, coming out of his room.

"I think we found a way to get the Colt," Faith replied.

He just stared at Faith for a moment before saying, "You wanna tell me or just leave me hanging?"

Faith sighed, "Time travel. I send them back in time and they get the gun and bring it back."

"Great," Bobby said, "What date are you going to send them back?" The question hit them like a bullet. None of them had a clue to what time period Samuel Colt lived.

"Well this has all been fascinating, but me and Faith need to leave," Cass said.

"What? Why?" Dean asked.

"We need to get back to Heaven. Raphael's about to make a move and I need to introduce her to my lieutenants." Sam and Dean nodded.

"You'll call us when you find something," Faith asked.

"Of course," Sam replied. Sam walked and hugged his sister, "Be careful." She nodded and kissed his cheek.

"You make sure you come back, Faith. I don't need to be alone in dealing with these two," Bobby said motioning to Sam and Dean.

She smiled, "I would never burden you with such a horror, Bobby."  Dean was leaning against his door frame when she made her way down there.

"You do know that I expect you to be back here in one piece, right?"

Faith smiled, "Of course." Dean hugged his sister tightly. He knew that she could handle herself, but he had never seen her fight other angels. Humans were no big deal to her anymore, but the angels were different. Some were way above her pay grade and now she was about to face them head-on.

"Please be careful," he pleaded.

"Of course, I can't just leave you here now can I?" She released him and kissed his cheek.

Cass appeared next to her and said," You do know that she is not completely helpless, right? I have been around for a couple thousand years."

"You know, that just told me how old you are," Faith said.

Cass sighed, "Damn it, I was trying so hard not tomake it obvious." And then they were gone, off to Heaven to fight Raphael.
