Always Keep Fighting

The Snap

Castiel jumped up from Raven's recliner. After the movie the night before he walked her to her room so she could sleep. With her permission he stayed with her while she slept.

Castiel, we nee...

"Cas, what's wrong?" Raven stirred from her sleep from his sudden movements.

"I don't know. It's Dean. He's in trouble." Castiel stood quiet for a moment, his eyes searching for nothing as he listened for Dean again.

Dean. Dean, where are you? He called out to him but Dean didn't respond.

Raven, now sitting up fully alert to the panic in Castiel's voice watched as he started pacing the room.

"I can't hear him. I can't find him. I don't feel him, Raven." He was breathing hard and fast as the panic took over.

Raven jumped up grabbing a t-shirt and pulling it over the tank top she was sleeping in. She grabbed jeans and yanked them up her legs and slid her feet into her boots.

"Let's go." She said pulling at Castiel's arm.

"Go where? I don't know where they are?"

"They went to the bar in town last night, we'll start there." She said racing to the garage.

"Damn it!" she yelled. "He has Baby. He has their weapons!" she panicked look back to Castiel.

"The storage room." He said grabbing her arm and teleporting them both into the storage room.

She started going through anything she could open. Pulling drawers out, opening cabinets, taking lids off of boxes. She grabbed anything she could carry. She turned back to Castiel whose eyes were closed.

"Cas? What's going on?" she asked.

"Come on we've got to go." He said grabbing her arm and disappearing.

When she felt ground beneath her she was in an empty bedroom. Looking to the bed she noticed restraints and blood.

"Can you feel them?" she asked.

"It's very weak but I can feel Sam." He said leaving the room with Raven behind him.

They heard a loud scream up ahead and rushed towards it. Raven gripped her gun as she approached the doorway. She stepped forward to peak in but Castiel stopped her.

"You stay back." He said.

"Excuse me?"

"I don't want you getting hurt." He answered.

"We don't have time for this, Cas, move." She said using her weight to move past him. She stepped into the door way aiming her gun at the closest target.

She was shocked at the sight of Dean stretched out on the floor, shirtless, with cut marks all over him. Sam was facing down unresponsive. She notice bite marks on his neck but the creatures in front of her didn't look like vampires to her.

"Well what do we have here?" the large man stood, towering over her.

Without hesitation she raised her gun higher and pulled the trigger. The shot knocked him back but didn't kill him. He lunged for her, black claws emerging from his fingertips. He connected with her arm causing a deep slash. She grabbed her arm as blood began spilling over her fingers. Castiel stepped in front of her knocking the creature across the room, through the wall and into the next room with one punch. The two women pounced at him. He shrugged them both off running towards Dean. One of the women turned their attention to Raven, running at her. The black claws emerged from her fingers just like the big guys. Raven aimed her gun and shot her in the forehead as she was leaping at her causing her body to fall straight to the ground.

Castiel was bending over Dean's body creating a glow around him as he placed a hand on his chest. The second girl charged towards him with her claws out and showing fangs as she growled back at Raven. Raven ran towards her, grabbing her hair and yanking her backwards. The two struggled for dominance while Castiel was working to heal Dean. Dean's body had been drained of most of his blood. The cut marks were slices of flesh missing from his body.

Raven was knocked back, hitting her head on the floor stunning her. The creature jumped on top of her plunging her claws into her stomach causing her to scream out in pain. Just as the creature leaned over her neck opening her mouth to bite her, her head jerked to the side, snapping her neck. She fell on top of Raven pinning her to the ground. She struggled with the dead weight but eventually squirmed out from under it. She slowly sat up, clenching her stomach; looking to Castiel he was now hovering over Sam's body. Sam slowly began to move around, his hand moving to his head. He propped himself up on an elbow and looked around. When he was able to focus on the scene in front of him he quickly climbed to his feet.

"What's going on?" he asked alert and ready to attack.

"Tend to Raven, I have to help Dean." Castiel said looking back to Raven with worry in his eyes.

Sam ran over to assess Raven's injuries but she brushed him off.

"There's still one of those things around here. A big man." She grunted.

"He's the alpha." He said removing his jacket and placing it around Raven's shoulders.

"Cas, is Dean going to be ok?" Sam asked as he helped Raven over.

He looked at his brother, his body was missing chunks of flesh, and there were bite marks on either side of his neck and in both arms. His brother's body was lifeless. Panic began to rise in Sam creating the anger to surface. He looked around the room and the hole in the wall leading to the next room. Movement caught Raven's eye making her grab Sam's arm, gesturing towards the hole in the wall. Sam noticed the alpha climbing to his feet, shaking off the dizziness. His eyes locked on Sam's and they both charged at one another. Sam was knocked down but quickly back on his feet charging towards the creature.

Dean was slowly starting to heal. His skin was slowly reforming over the slashes and exposed meat. Color was coming back to his face as Castiel was working to heal him internally.

"Can I help you with anything, Cas?" she asked struggling to move.

He looked at her then to her stomach, his eyes widened then narrowed. As he fixed his stare on Raven's abdomen she began to feel a tingle sensation that soon turned warm. She looked down and watched the stab wounds close before her eyes. She looked back to Castiel in awe.

"You did that with your mind?" she asked in amazement.

"I can't remove my hands from Dean." He explained.

"That's ok, Cas, I didn't need healed, Dean needs your full attention." She said softly. "But thank you."

Her gaze was broken by Sam slamming into her side. She fell to the ground from the force.

She could see Castiel's anger rising which seemed to make the glow around Dean brighter.

"Sam, where's the Impala?" Raven asked as she pulled a knife from her boot.

"I'm not sure where we are." He struggled against the creature.

She jumped on the creatures back plunging the blade into its neck. He stumbled backwards, knocking her against the wall causing her to lose her grip. He gripped the handle and pulled the blade out with ease tossing it back at her. She looked at the knife and back to him.

"Silly girl, knives won't kill me. Guns won't kill me. You can't kill me." He laughed.

"She may not be able to but I can."

Raven looked past the alpha and seen Castiel standing behind him. Her eyes fell to Dean who was slowly moving around. Castiel leaped at the creature shoving his fist through his chest. When he pulled it out he was holding his heart in his hand, blood dripping from his fingers. The creature stared at him in horror. Castiel raised his other hand, snapped his fingers, and the alpha exploded all over the room and everything in it.
