Supernatural: Betrayal

Chapter 11

Four days had passed since they had killed Eveand they hadn't seen Faith at all. She hadn't come out of her room and whenthey did knock on her door she just yelled for them to go away. They all knewwhy she was in there. Each of them, even Dean, suspected that Cass burned thewrong bones on purpose. However, none of them wanted to believe it. Castiel wastheir friend and soon to be brother-in-law. Since that day in Grants Pass, Sam and Dean busted their asses trying toget information on Crowley. And it has all paid off. They were finally gettingclose to Crowley and Cashmere. Sam and Dean had confirmed that Crowley andCashmere are alive and working double time to stop Sam and Dean from findingthem.  Bobby and Ellen had caught a demonthat worked for Crowley and had him in a devil's trap in the library. Dean wentto knock on Faith's door to see if she wanted to help them torture the demon, but when he opened her door, he found that it was empty. Faith was gone and they didn't know where she was.

"You summoned me here," Cass asked her.

"Yeah, I wanted to talk to you," Faith answered. She had summoned Cass to a field fill with peonies in Colorado.

"What is it," he asked her. They were standing in front of each other with a yard in between them.

"Was Rachel lying? About your dirty secret?"

"How do you know about that," he asked her.

"Never mind who told me," she said, "is it true?"

"You have to understand. I have to beat Raphael and this seems to be the only way," he answered.

"Why didn't you tell me," she asked.

He sighed, "I was going to, I just didn't know how."

"Because you know it's wrong," she said, "Working with demons is unclean, you should know that. How could you lie to us? We trusted you; I trusted you and you just threw it right back at us. Why?"

Castiel looked up at her and pulled his angel blade out," I don't need to answer to you."

She pulled her blade out in retaliation, "then I don't need an answer." Suddenly, he leaped at her with all his force and slammed into her. His weight caused Faith to fall to the ground under Castiel. He raised his angel blade and brought it down into her shoulder. Suddenly, her mind felt as if it were crumbling to pieces. The wall in her mind was falling down. She screamed in pain as Cass twisted his blade deeper into her shoulder. Suddenly, as if she had been awakened, her eyes caught the redness again and suddenly, Cass was flung back fifty yards. Castiel fell to the ground and when he saw her, he remembered the day she fell in the cage. He knew what it would do to her if he continued this fight, but there was no going back at this point. She stood in front of him, flaming with a red aurora.

"What are you waiting for," he taunted. He knew thatthis was the only way, "Why don't you just kill me?" She then ran at him. Whenshe finally reached him, Cass plunged his hand into her chest and she sank downinto a bed of red peonies. Her red aurora was gone and her eyes were goldenagain. She looked down to find Cass's angel blade in the middle of her chest.Castiel stepped back, waiting for her grace to explode. However, nothinghappened. "That's impossible," he said, "all angels die by that blade, whyhaven't you?" She never answered him because her memories of Lucifer's cagestarted to flow from the broken wall.

******************************************************************************
"What do you think happened to her," Dean asked Bobby and Sam. Dean had pulled Bobby from Red so he could tell him what he saw.

"I think that she went looking for Cass and hasn't come back yet," Bobby answered.

"But it's not like to her to just leave. She would've left a note," Dean said.

"Do you think Cass took her," Sam asked.

"I don't know what else to think. He's lied to us once, why wouldn't he do it again?" Dean said.

"Well, let's figure out where Satan Jr. is, then we can bust ass for Faith. You do know that if we are right about Cass that means that we're dealing with a superman gone dark side. Which means we gotta be cautious, smart, and even stock up on some kryptonite," Bobby said, walking back over to Red.

"Coming back for more you old drunk," Red said.

Bobby smiled sarcastically, "very funny. Where's Crowley?"

"Read the newspapers, red neck. The King and Queen are dead," he replied, smiling. Bobby smiled and then held Red's neck back and soaked his mouth with holy water. Red screamed in agony as the water continued to spill over his chest.

Bobby finally stopped, "Crowley and Cashmere are alive. You prove it just by being, you poor, dumb jackass. Crowley and Cashmere are alive; their nets are still out, except now they're using you schmucks to hunt his monsters now."

"Up yours," Red replied. Bobby then threw salt onto Red, who groaned in pain. "I don't know where Crowley is! I've never even met him. I don't deal with Crowley direct."

"Well, who do you deal with," Bobby asked.

"The dispatcher; a demon named Ellsworth."

"Where is he," Dean demanded.

"Ten miles west of Sioux Falls General, there's an old shack. He's there, I promise you that," Red answered.

Dean turned into the kitchen, "somebody send him back to Hell."

"With pleasure," Bobby answered, "Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Ergo, draco maledicte. Ecclesiam tuam secure tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos." The three of them watched the demon pour out of the body and sink into the floor where it left scorch marks.

"Time to go," Sam announced.

"What about Faith," Bobby asked.

"Well, she can hear our prayers, so someone pray," Dean said.

Sam sighed and closed his eyes, "Hey Faith, um so wherever you are we just wanted to update you. We got a lead on Crowley and Cashmere. We're going to a shack ten miles west of Sioux Falls General, so if you can, meet us there." Sam then followed Bobby and Dean out the door.

******************************************************************************
When Faith woke up, she was still in the field, but something was missing. Cass was gone and so was his blade. Faith looked down ather chest to find a bloody mess. This wound was different. She had heard Sam's prayer and knew that she had to get back to them, but she wasn't able to. Her emotions started to come to the surface and she broke down, crying.
