Sunlight ¥ Dean Winchester [1]

"You took the prophet from us?!" Hester yelled.

"I'm—I'm sorry." Castiel shrugged his shoulders.

"You have fallen in every way imaginable."

"Please, Castiel." Inias held up a hand. "We have to follow the code. Help us do our work."

"He can't help you. He can't help anybody." Dean said.

"We don't need his help... or his permission." Hester nodded her head at Inias and the man disappeared.

"The keeper goes to the desert tonight."

Inias reappeared with Kevin in his hands.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Back off." Dean barked. "We're actually trying to clean up one of your angel's messes! You know that."

"He's right." Castiel said. "An angel brought the Leviathan back into this world, and—and they begged him. They begged him not to do it."

"Look," Dean started. "Just give us some time, okay? We will take care of your prophet."

"Why should we give you anything?" Hester growled. "After everything you have taken from us? The very touch of you corrupts. When Castiel first laid a hand on you in hell, he was lost! For that, you're going to pay." Hester walked forward and Jessica pulled out her angel blade. But, before she could do anything, Castiel stopped Hester.

"Please. They're the ones we were put here to protect."

Hester shook her head.

"No Castiel." The woman then backhanded the angel.

Sam and Dean went to step forward only to be stopped by the angels.

"Stop!" Jessica moved forward but was stopped as well.

"No more madness!" Hester grabbed Castiel by his coat and punched him. "No more promises!" She punched him again. "No more new gods!" Her voice cracked as she punched Castiel a few more times. Then, she pulled out her angel blade.

"NO!" Jessica cried out. But she couldn't do anything but watch.

"Hester, No!" Inias grabbed the woman's arm that held the blade. "Please! There's so few of us left."

Hester looked at Inias and smashed the hilt of her blade against his face. Then she faced Castiel again.

"You wanted free will. Now I'm making the choices."

Hester went to bring down the blade when her body suddenly lit up.

Meg pulled out the angel blade from the girls body and watched her fall.

Castiel looked at the demon in slight surprise.

"What?" Meg asked. "Someone had to."

Jessica sat down on the couch. Her eyes stared at the wall as she was thinking.

"Jessica." Inias looked down at the woman.

Jessica was pulled out of her trance. She looked up at the angel with a smile.

"What? You're not going to call me Melissa?"

Inias chuckled. "That is not who you are anymore. You're a different person with a different purpose now."

Jessica stood up. "Brother," her head lowered. "Forgive me for all the wrongs that I have made or done. I—"

"Sister, it's alright. All is forgiven. Besides, I could never stay mad at you."

Jessica scoffed. "But, all those things I did long ago. All those things I did to you—"

Inias placed a hand on Jessica's shoulder. "You had ever right to treat me the way you did. I was a horrible person back then." His eyes traveled over to Dean. "You're with someone better, believe me. It's for the best. You and I both know that."

Jessica nodded her head. "So, where are you going now?"

"We are taking the prophet back to his home. We can watch over him from there."

"Well, be safe." Jessica held out her hand for Inias to shake.

"Of course." Inias grabbed Jessica's hand and shook it. Then, he and his other brothers and sisters walked over towards Kevin and disappeared.

Dean muttered something under his breath as he came back into the living room.

"I couldn't find Meg anywhere."

Castiel sighed. "Yes, well, she enjoys laying low."

Sam had a notebook open in his hands. His eyes scanned every word on the paper.

"Here, Leviathan cannot be slain but by a bone of a righteous mortal washed in the three bloods of the fallen. Uh..." Sam scratched his head. "It says we need to start with the blood of a fallen angel."

Castiel had a smile on his face. "Well, you know me. I'm always happy to bleed for the Winchester's." Castiel had a small bottle in his hands. He then wrapped one hand around the bottle.

"Whoa." Jessica watched as the bottle filled with his blood.

Castiel handed the bottle to Dean.

"What are you gonna do, Cas?" Dean asked as he took the bottle.

"I don't know." He replied. "Isn't that amazing?"

Castiel then disappeared.

"Well," Dean looked at Sam. "Let's get to work."

Jessica watched as Dean walked away. She had a small smile on her lips as she looked up at Sam.

"We're actually gonna do it. We're going to beat them!"

"Don't get too excited just yet, Jess." Sam said as he continued to look at the notebook. "Like Dean said, we've got work to do."
