Hope is a Dangerous Thing [EDITING]

Chapter Eighteen

Cas held some cuffs out in front of me and slapped them onto my wrists before pushing me into a seat. I shifted in my seat to get more comfortable. Cas placed a hand on my shoulder and looked me in the eyes. What was going to happen wouldn't be comfortable. I knew that much. This was the only way to figure out what happened. At least in Cas' mind. I would have to humor him if I were to ever get out of here. Dean paced nervously back and forth behind his angel friend biting his nails a little bit. I looked down at my hands as Cas turned to his friends.

    "It might help if you two close your eyes," He turned back to me as I parted my lips in a question. "I don't think you have to at all. Hell soul...think the rules are a little different."

    James covered his own eyes even if he didn't have to. Sam and Dean followed suit. Hel, Loki and Thor went outside. They walked out of the room to protect me. I shifted a little bit as I moved in my seat in an attempt to wait for Cas's signal. He smiled a little bit at me as he moved towards me. I shifted a little bit once more. He placed his other hand on my other shoulder and looked me over.

    I nodded a little bit as Cas' eyes glowed. He was...he was beautiful. His angel soul was gorgeous. I didn't even know how to begin to describe him. There were wings, obviously. Huge, black wings that stretched farther than my own eyes could see. He was definitely taller than the Empire State Building. That was true enough. His body was glowing in the same white light I had seen before I saw the angel in his true form. I shifted a little bit as I looked him over. I couldn't see much else besides the light and the wings. But he was huge and seeing this almost made me want to go back and pray to God...to Chuck...to the man I had lost so long ago.

    The light around us faded. Dean and Sam came back into focus. They were covering their eyes with their arms. I shifted a little bit in my seat as I looked Cas over. Cas smiled a little bit as he went down and unlocked my handcuffs, ones that had seemed to have broken and melted to the ground down below. They were iron handcuffs with protection sigils all over them. There was nothing...I guess except me and Eve...that could get through them. My eyes shifted over to Dean whose eyes were wide in shock.

    "Well, you defiantly have a weakness. If we kill hell...if no one ever goes to hell again...and if we get all of these people in hell to transfer to purgatory or heaven then we can make you weaker. If we can even do that then we can gank you like a demon."

    The revolution was new. It wouldn't hurt knowing how to kill me. It would make me feel a lot better knowing that I wasn't going to be this full god or something. As long as I could get souls out of hell then I would be okay. I would just have to see how in the hell that would work. There are a lot of souls in hell. My entire body shivered a little bit. I couldn't even just think about it. I felt way too bad now that I was in here. Now that I knew what the hell could kill me. It wasn't that bad. It would have to wait it out though.

    I tilted my head a little bit to the side, "That sounds like a lot of fucking work, don't you think?"

    "If we have to kill you then we wouldn't actually have to do that much work."

    "I mean, you would have to get a lot of angels back on our side if you want things to go faster. Would have to get reapers on our side as well. Other than that...moving all of those souls could throw things off."

    "The whole equilibrium would be a lot worse. I knew that could be a lot worse. We could start a whole other apocalypse."

    Cas sighed a little bit and shifted on his legs as he moved away from me. He sighed a little bit as I stood from my seat as well and moved around the hotel room. Dean shifted a little bit and wrapped his arms around me. His chest heaved a little bit as he looked me over when he moved back. Sam placed a hand on my back. None of them seemed to be threatened by the whole other apocalypse thing. I don't think we would ever have to kill me. I wanted to make sure they knew what was at stake. It was killing me over the fate of the entire world.
