A New Adventure|| Dean & Castiel

[Castiel]

{THIS IS WHILE DEAN WAS STILL STUCK IN PURGATORY!}

"Come on, Dean." Castiel whispered over his shoulder, sounding irritated once again. Since they had arrived in Purgatory they had nearly been attacked by monsters over and over and over again. Cass would admit that he'd vanished on Dean their first hour here. He'd been terrified and knew that he was a magnet for the monsters. As a holy being he attracted the monsters and creatures to him. Of course, Dean being human attracted them too, but not nearly as easily as he had. Bright blue eyes turned and landed on the Winchester, who was falling behind. It was dark and the forest was near pitch black. The 'moonlight' that filtered down through the trees didn't allow much light for the two of them and Dean continually fell behind him. Castiel could see a little simpler within the darkness, Dean with his human eyes wasn't able to see more than a couple of feet in front of him at any time. "Hurry it up." He whispered loudly.

It really shouldn't have mattered if he whispered or screamed, either way they were a beacon for the supernatural creatures to find them. It was as if all of them had a GPS and Cas was the destination. They had been lucky so far to avoid being killed or seriously injured here. Dean had a few scrapes and bruises from when Cas had vanished on him, but he was relatively alright and that was the best either of them could hope for in light of everything.

The two had just recently met back up with one another and were on a search for someplace safe to rest so that they could talk about everything. Dean probably had no clue where they were or what the hell was going on. He could understand why the man was confused, this was a confusing place and an even more confusing situation. It took nearly another hour of walking through the wilderness and making sure things were silent around them before he happened upon a darkened cave. Being able to sense things, as all angels should, he could tell that there was nothing hiding within the cave. "Come on." He whispered and stepped into the near pitch black cave. As soon as Dean had stepped inside he closed the distance between them and reached into Dean's jacket pocket for the Zippo that was always there. It was just a miracle that everything they had had when being thrown into Purgatory was still with them. Moments later he flicked the flame to life and set it onto the hard floor at their feet before sitting down beside it. His back rested against the rough wall and a low sigh escaped him, glad for the moment to relax.

Dean huffed, both impatiently and in annoyance, when Cass called for him to hurry up. He knew that he was falling behind but damn, what the hell did the angel expect when it was near pitch black in the forest and he couldn't see a damned thing out here? His eyes were purely human, meaning he couldn't see anything beyond a couple of feet a head of him. "Maybe if you'd slow the hell down," he muttered while limping as quickly as he could behind the angel. The fight he'd gotten into yesterday had been a rough one. Castiel of course said that it was nothing more than scrapes and bruises, but he was pretty sure he'd managed to do something to his right knee. Then again, when matching one human against countless supernatural beings? Little on the unfair side. If he'd had a weapon it might have evened it out a little bit. All he had was that at least he was still alive.

It had been amazing to come across Cass when he had and of course he had a billion questions for the angel, but Castiel wouldn't answer a damned one of them, not yet anyway. No, first they had to go on a five mile long hike through pitch black forest. Oh, yeah, because that was Cass's smartest idea ever. Dean, of course, was bitching in his own mind. Bitching about everything and anything he possibly could. "I'm coming!" He whispered back harshly while limping as quickly as he could. Dean damned near ran into the angel in front of the cavern that he's stopped at. After a hard look at Cass, he followed inside. Oh yeah, more dark, that's just what was needed. "Personal space, Cass. We've talked about this." He muttered just before feeling Castiel's hand on his chest and a brow arched up in confusion. "Come on, Cass, you're a little beyond the creepy rape cave, aren't you?" He asked just before Castiel took a step back and flicked his zippo to life, making him feel like a bit of an ass.

"Oh.." He muttered before settling down on the dirt floor across from the angel and resting his back against the hard wall. Honestly, he didn't even care how hard it was, it was a chance to sit and relax. He needed it. "So.. You gonna start explaining? Where the hell are we? What the hell is going on? Why can't you just use your angel mojo and zap us back to Sam? You gotta give me something Cass." He said while rubbing at his face and only smearing more dirt across it. He knew whenever they found a motel he would need one helluva shower to feel clean. "Oh yeah.. and why'd you vanish on me?" He asked, sounding pretty pissed about that last one.

[Castiel]

Castiel easily ignored the jibes from Dean as he'd stepped too close. He knew all about Dean's personal space rule by now, unfortunately there were still plenty of times when he didn't follow it. Why? Because within the heavens there was little room for movement from angels as they were so vast and the heavens weren't as large as some people seemed to think. Castiel wasn't used to the whole 'personal space' thing, but always did try just for Dean. The angel did a lot of things for Dean, he had since meeting the man. It was with a sigh that Cas heard the questions from the human. "We are in Purgatory. When you killed Dick Roman, we were yanked with him. We were standing too close to him and there was no way either of us could have gotten out of the way quickly enough." He stated darkly, feeling drained and energized all at the same time. Before Dean could even ask the question that Castiel knew was on his mind, the angel spoke again. "Purgatory is where all of the monsters and creatures from earth go. They cannot get into heaven and they are not permitted into hell. Purgatory was established by God long before you humans were. And I don't know if there's any way to get out, either." He stated with a frown on his lips.

"I am powerless here." Was all he could come up with for why he couldn't just zap the two of them back to Sam. "I am completely cut off from Heaven's power here in Purgatory. I cannot zap us anywhere. I barely have the energy to take myself to another part of Purgatory." He said and rubbed lightly at his jaw. "I left you to protect you. I am a magnet for all of the beings here, they can sense me more strongly than they can you. I will continue to draw them to us until they kill me. You are a beacon of light to them as well, they will continue to come after you. Your light isn't as strong, though. They cannot sense it from a world away as they can me." He said and shook his head, keeping his senses alert in case any of them began closing in on them.

"So we got slammed into Purgatory with no chance of getting out of here and it's filled with all of the monsters I've killed in my life? The hell.." He muttered the last two words with a sigh and a shake to his head. "I'm sorry, Cass." He said while turning his eyes to his friend. It was his fault that Cass was here after all. If it weren't for him, the angel wouldn't be trapped, the angel wouldn't have been standing as close as he was to Dean and Dick. Hell, if it weren't for the fact that Cass was stuck here, Dean had a strong feeling that Cass would be working with Sam to get him home right now. Purgatory was no place for a human. And it certainly wasn't a place for an angel like Castiel, either.

He took in a slow breath and let the emerald gaze dance around the cavern for several moments before landing back on the angel upon hearing that he was powerless. Eyes widened slightly at the news before letting out a sharp breath as he felt his heart constrict. "So.. Sam is all alone...? What about Kevin and Crowley? What about Meg? Cass, my brother is alone." He felt strangely panicked. What was Sam going to do without him there? Who was going to look out for his kid brother? Who was going to protect him? Dean was more worried about Sam being alone than his being some beacon of light to the monsters here. He'd killed them before, he could do it again. "Cass.. We gotta get outta here.." He muttered and shook his head lightly.
