Angel's daughter

Chapter 5

Castiel walked out into the middle of the crossroads, looking around a little confused. Around him was simply country roads, nothing to identify where he was or why he was here. It was night around him,

"Cas" A sly voice with a light British accent sounded behind him. He turned sharply to see two angels standing there. One he knew as his brother and ally, Balthazar. The other he wasn't so close to. The presence of this angel made him on edge,

"Balthazar, Malachi" He acknowledged, "You summoned me here?"

"Well, if I called would you have picked up?" Balthazar did all the talking, the other angel stood there silently, glaring at him. Cas was still confused by the setting. Balthazar was calm but something seemed off, it gave him a reason to worry,

"Why did you bring me here?"

"We know about the abomination you created" Malachi finally spoke, his voice was harsh and full of disgust. Cas tensed up now, "You think you could have hidden it forever? Creating a nephilim is forbidden" As Malachi spoke, Balthazar's face started to fall, regret spreading across his features. Castiel understood now.

"You're here to kill me" Malachi's knife slid from his sleeve into his hand, he seemed ready to pounce at Cas but Balthazar put his hand up to stop him,

"I'll do it" He said. He walked over to Castiel, his head down and not giving eye contact. As he reached him, Cas took a step back, his blue eyes looking big as they locked on him. His stoic mask cracked, letting betrayal cloud his face. He shook his head,

"Don't do this" Balthazar finally looked at him again,

"I suppose you won't tell me where you've hidden it" He said. Cas shook his head, "Then I'm sorry Cas" Balthazar grabbed him, stabbing his knife into his stomach. Cas made a surprised gasp at the sharp pain penetrating his abdomen. His breathing caught in his throat as his gaze dropped to his stomach. When Balthazar twisted his knife and pulled it out, it was stained red and Cas dropped to his knees, looking down at his hand that was covered in blood. Balthazar had turned away as Cas lit up in a blinding white light, "Let's go" He said. The angel left with him, leaving Cas alone and still, two black marks on either side of him in the shape of wings.

I burst awake, breathing erratically, sweat dripping down my forehead. I needed to find my dad. I don't know why but I needed to. The dream felt far too real. I was watching it like some outsider, not through anyone's eyes. I wasn't acknowledged at all. I was in my bed in the bunker but I got up and rushed to the library. No one was there except Kevin but he was passed out again. I was scared. I had to wake him up. He shot up, his head almost hitting me,

"Kevin. Where's my dad?" He squinted at me before registering what I said,

"I don't know, why?"

"It's really important that I find him, are you sure you don't know?"

"He left a while ago, he does that. What's wrong?" I shook my head, sitting down at the table. No, no, no. He can't be gone, he needs to tell me I'm wrong, that it was just a dream. I need to see him alive. I put my head in my hands just shaking my head. Kevin got up and wandered over to me, "Grace, what's wrong? What happened?"

"I don't know, I just... I'll wait up"

"I wouldn't. He can be gone days at a time" I gave Kevin a look and he backed off, "Hey, he'll be fine. He always is"

"I don't know"

"You think different?"

"I had a dream. He was confronted by two angels about having a nephilim and killed. And I know it's just a dream but I've been doing a lot of freaky stuff lately and I really hope that this isn't one of them" Kevin put his hand on my shoulder,
