Elliot

I had almost forgotten, what it felt like not to be hurt. I know it had only been a brief period of time since I was let free. But the bliss, happiness, it's just something that you get used to so fast when you're surrounded by it.

But the bliss, and the happiness, they were torn away from me.

Asmodeus not only has my angel, but he pretended to be the only friend that I had while I was locked up in Hell, instead of torturing me or letting me go right away. He let me believe I still had something left. He let me believe there was hope.

I wanted to be mad at the Winchesters for ruining my bliss, they could have left me in the dark. But I knew I couldn't be mad, not for long, at least. We have more important things that need to be done. Asmodeus needs to be caught and killed, Other-World Michael needs to be stopped, Gabriel needs saved, and I guess we have to hunt down Lucifer, as well.

"Now, when we get to wherever Asmodeus is keeping Gabriel, we have to be careful," Dean says, "There's no way that he'll be left unguarded."

"What if he is? And it's a trap?" I asked, "If Asmodeus can shapeshift he can easily take on the form of Gabriel.."

"You have to think realistically," Sam spoke up, "Asmodeus thinks he's too good for most things, and that probably includes being a beaten to death angel in a cage."

While I knew that Sam was probably right, usually the rulers of hell think they're too good for a lot of things. Crowley thought he was too good to play cards with the rest of the demons, and he was right, because they always cheated. But that's kind of besides the point. Asmodeus is a bitch, and will die for what he has done.

There were three major things Dean told Jack and I to look out for: demons, other things that go bump in the night, and cheap hookers.

Jack and I must keep a really shitty look out for two of those things. And unfortunately, neither of them were a cheap hooker.

Being bored out of our minds, we decided to go on a food run and then for a short walk in the park near by. The boys all went out to look for signs of Asmodeus, leaving Jack and I to ourselves. While on said walk, we came across a massive cluster of demons and werewolves and vampires alike. Who knows what they were all doing together at that moment, and it was our shitty luck that put us in that spot, too. There was no realistic reason for all of them to be together like this, thankfully Jack and I made it out of there as soon and quietly as we could.

When we got back to the room, the boys were there and they looked pissed. Perfect. Exactly what I need.

"Elliot where have you been?!" Sam sounded like a very protective dad, and I hated it, "We've been worried."

"Jack and I were out, it's not a big deal. We can take care of ourselves you know. Two most powerful beings in like, the world, remember?" I roll my eyes in response to them.

"Exactly? Two most power weapons to most. And they'd do anything to get their hands on you." Dean spoke with his lecture voice. I could already feel myself getting annoyed.

"Can you two stop stepping on my toes! I'm trying to live my life. Make up for the last five years I've been trapped it Hell. Not to mention I'm trying to wrap my head around my best friend not being my best friend for the last six months; the fact that I was living under the same roof as Gabriel while he was being tortured and didn't know it; and the fact that two of the only two people who ever mattered in my life still don't really think I am who I am. No matter how hard I try to convince them," I sit on the couch and put my head in my hands, "I'm a big kid. I can take care of myself."

I heard footsteps walking in all sorts of directions, and someone sit next to me. I didn't need to look to know it was Sam, and I wasn't going to. I wasn't going to sit and pretend everything is okay now, just because he's next to me. Because everything isn't okay. It's so far from okay.

"Ellie," Sam sounded like he struggled to find the words he was looking for, "What's up? Besides the obvious things."

I love you, jackass. That's what's up. I wanted to tell him, but I didn't. "Things are just overwhelming, Sam. I can't do anything to fix it. I can't do anything period."

"I know I can't say anything to fix what you're going through," He sounded more confident in his words, "I can't say anything at all to help you. But I'm here, Ellie. I'm right here, and I always will be."

I looked over at him and our eyes met, it felt like the most cliche thing in the world. I smiled as my heart was pounding, begging for me to do something. My stomach was churning with anxiety and excitement alike. "Thank you, Sam."
