Hayden & Dean (The Sequel) - A Tethered Love

Chapter 48: Last Ditch Effort

While we're on the road, it's clear to me that time is running out. I pull over at the first gas station I see and use whatever change I had from the stolen car to call Dean. I try twice and he doesn't answer. I have enough change for two more calls. I give Sam a try and no answer. My next hope is Castiel. I dial the number and to my luck he answers "Hayden, how are you?"

"Where's Dean?!" I basically shout into the phone.

"He's out collecting souls with Sam." He informs me.

I spit "what for, what's the plan?" I ask, hoping what they plan is enough.

He explains shortly "we're going to make a bomb and kill Amara."

"What, NO!" I actually scream into the phone "you can't kill Amara that'l--"

Castiel interrupts me "it is the only way, once we have enough souls we'll be set."

"Castiel, listen to me!" I say and try to make my voice sound as forceful and powerful as ever so even an angel can understand "if you kill Amara then you--"

He interrupts me "I have to go, they are back. Don't worry, we have this under control!"

"WHAT! NO!" I yell, but it's too late and he hangs up on me. "Shit, shit, shit, shit!" I bang the phone against the wall in frustration and worry.

I run back to the car and open the passenger door "what's wrong?" Charles asks, reading my face.

"They're going to kill Amara, that's their plan." I say.

Luckily, Charles understand what that means "but if Amara and Paul are connected health wise, that'll kill him."

"Exactly, and we don't have the time to get to the bunker and Castiel just hung up on me. I need to figure something out." I stammer out "If I can get someone's cell, keep calling till they pick up, we can try and maybe make it but if they aren't there then--"

Charles grabs a hold of my hand "Hayden, Hayden" he tries to pull me out of my thoughts.

"WHAT!?" I scream, tears falling down my face at a rate I've never known could be possible.

He rubs his thumb across my hand and says "can you get a hold of Amara?"

"Why? What would that do?" I ask him, thinking how stupid of an idea that is.

He talks lowly but quickly "well, if she is connected to Paul and you explain to her what they are going to do, maybe she can stop this. Maybe she'll feel compassion, maybe if she see's Paul, she wont want to go through with it."

My eyes are wide at his idea. I mean, besides the fact that I'd have to find Amara before the others do, and they have God, I'd then have to be willing to open up to her and tell her she was right, that she does have a connection with Paul. I'd have to be willing to share him with her "but how do I find her, she could be anywhere." I say out, knowing that this crazy idea is actually the only one that might work.

He shrugs "well, if they are connected maybe Paul can get her to us."

I think about it for a minute. I shut the front door and get in the back with Paul. I sit next to his car seat and tell Charles to drive us to a park or somewhere open. He turns the car on and pushes the gas pedal as I turn to my son and whisper into his ear "Amara" over and over again. He's a baby, barely able to talk but he can say words meaning he can think them. Maybe if he thinks her name she'll feel it, and she'll come to see him. As I sit on a bench with my son, with no one else around I continue to say the name of the women who took Dean away from me. It's been two hours and even when I changed his diaper, or fed him I continued to say that three syllable name "A-mar-a."
