My Brother's Keeper: Ch 7
The standoff seemed to last forever even though Bobby knew he was safe within the bunker. The devil's traps etched into the walls assured that the monster at the doorway wouldn't dare cross into the room but it did little to ease the unnerving stare being directed at he and Castiel. "Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. You're not being very cooperative," the demon teased, "if I were in your shoes, I'd be doing everything possible to make some friends in hell. After all, you still belong to us, don't you?" The hunter shifted uncomfortably at the reminder but stayed silent. "How long did he give you? Or did you even get a time limit?" An eerie smile twisted t

Dean smiled up at the overly bright pastel sign announcing their arrival at "Babies-R-Us". Ridiculously bright cartoon animals decorated the entire outside of the building and a window cling depicting a purple hippo wearing a jacket was ushering them inside with an ear to ear grin. The hunter turned to regard his brother who was, at that moment, attempting to coax Castiel into letting him cover the wing currently hanging out of the top of his shirt. The little angel looked none to pleased by the fact that Sam had resorted to trying to gently stuff the feathers back under the shirt collar and he had put his small hands against Sam's arm as he

Dean's eyes went wide as saucers and he felt like his heart had just stopped for a moment as he met the unblinking stare leveled at him. The boy looked startlingly like the angel that had helped them out numerous times with his mat of dark fluffy hair and those keen blue eyes that Dean had come to know so well. "Not possible," he breathed, "not freakin' possible." The boy seemed just as genuinely confounded by the whole situation as the hunter was and the small wings fluttered uncertainly as the boy looked over his new surroundings. Dean's mind was racing a mile a minute as he tried to puzzle together exactly what he was seeing. The child si

The winding back country roads of North Carolina were still and silent, nestled between rows of thick trees and overgrown brush, and Dean guided the impala down them at top speed, putting as much distance as possible between them and the scene they'd come across at the hotel. He stared straight ahead out of the windshield, trying his best to ignore the seat next to him and the disturbing glow that was coming from the passenger side of the car. "Sammy, if we're gonna take that damned thing with us, at least cover it up. It's screwing with my night vision," he growled before cranking the radio a little higher and thus making it clear that he wa

ONE WEEK PREVIOUS:
It was 12:59pm when all the power in the small town of Alamance, NC died. Dean and Sam were sitting at a small rickety table in a diner that had seen better days when the lights flickered and the warbling voice of Patsy Cline on the corner jukebox came to a sudden stop. The haggard looking waitress, who had been serving them two platefuls of what Sam could only assume was the living picture of a coronary in progress, actually looked interested for the first time since the two of them had walked in. Dean was pretty sure it was the first time she'd looked interested in anything in her life. The older Winchester peeled his ey

"It's gonna be ok," Sam urged in whispered tones as he drew in tighter around the trembling bundle in his arms. Small fingers curled into the soft material of his t-shirt and he tried not to think about how dirty and grungy that t-shirt was honestly as he scooted further into the open sewer drain he was currently hiding in. The child clinging to him didn't seem to notice though, or more accurately, he didn't much care. Castiel wasn't the sort to complain very often as an adult and his juvenile self had proven just as unflappable with the minor exception that he was scared of demons. Not that Sam could really blame him. As an adult Cas could h

The tick of a clock mingled loudly with the deep sated breathing of Sam Winchester, filling the quiet of the small motel room the boys had settled in. The familiar swirl of white light that accompanied Castiel's wings bobbed up and down as he rose and fell with each breath, his small form curled up on the young hunter's chest. His luminous blue eyes were fixed on Sam's face as it contorted in the midst of occasional dreams as if he were some silent guardian warding off potential nightmares and if Sam's occasional snoring was any indication, Castiel was doing his job quite well too. Dean however lay wide awake in the other bed. He was still an

After some debate on the subject, it was decided that the best course of action would be for the brothers to take Castiel on the run, trying to stay off the demon's radar until Crowley returned with the information they would need to take their fight on the offensive. Bobby's house had been marked now and they knew it wouldn't be long until more demons came looking in the hopes of getting their hands on the angel. Supplies were running low though and the older hunter agreed to wait behind with Cas while Dean and Sam made a quick run for the salt and ammo they would need while hiding out. Taking Cas with them would prove an unnecessary risk no
