Reflection



Written By: Neko Ninja & Ember Island

Castiel meets the Winchesters awhile back and now with a new enemy a foot, they will have to stick together in order to save Sam from an illness he has gotten. Though no one knows how he got it nor how to really save him, except for this demon they had run into. So who will win out of this battle? The angel and Winchesters or the demon and their friends?

Castiel wasn't in the room when Dean went over to his brother who was laying on the motel bed not really moving much, just laying there like he was sick or not feeling well. "Sam, you look terrible, are you feeling alright?" Dean walked over to his brother to feel his forehead and realized his brother was burning up "Shit, you're burning up" "I-I'm okay Dean..." Sam tried to say, but, he shivered as if he felt cold while running a fever.

Dean called out "Hey Cas, I need you down here, look I know its like a war up there, but, I need you right now" Dean walked off not waiting for a response and went to get a towel, he was worried for his baby brother. He got a hand towel and soaked it up with cold water, as cold as he could get it, ringed it out, and then went back putting it over his brother's forehead watching him as Sam fell asleep.

Name: Shae Wisdom
Age: 19
Info: Shae killed her family, watched them burn by a demon or someone who wanted her to suffer so she would become a demon herself. She did become a demon and now has the touch of ice, fire barely hurts her, and the only that can get to her, is something only she will know. Now she likes to play deadly tricks on people and put them under illnesses that can kill people.
Looks: Shae has hazel eyes that sometimes change

Castiel was up in heaven, going over some battle strategies with his second in command. He had just finished up and sent everyone away when he heard Dean call for him. Though he knew it might not be a good idea to go to him, seeing as how Raphael could follow, but he couldn't just ignore Dean.

"Hello Dean." he said, appearing in the room. "What is it you need?" he asked, curious. His eyes stayed on Dean, not once looking at Sam. He could tell without looking at him that the other man was asleep. And that he appeared to be ill.

"I need to know if you can stay here with Sam while I go out to get some thing. He is really sick and running a high fever and I can't just leave him alone, I doubt you know anything about human medicine to pick anything up" Dean didn't even know how or when Sam started getting sick, they had just arrived at the motel yesterday on a demon's trail that involved sleeping people and making them sleep, unable to wake up.

Castiel was silent for a moment, thinking. He could just heal him, but that type of energy could be tracked and he didn't want any of his enemies finding the brothers. Besides, he knew he should only do that if it was a life or death situation. "Of course, Dean. I will stay with Sam." He told him.

(okay all ocs are down yay)

"Thanks, I'll be back as soon as I can" Dean rushed out not even grabbing his jacket and luckily was already wearing his shoes. He drove to the store picking out different medicine he could and even a first aid kit knowing it would have a thermoniter (sp?) in it. It was about an hour later when he returned.

Sam on the other hand was still burning up, but, shivering, he was totally out of it right now. He couldn't be any use on the hunt and there was no way Dean would leave him in his state to hunt anything. He was his brother after all and what if they were attacked awhile Dean was hunting? He would never forgive himself if anything happened to Sam. "How is he, has anything happened?" Dean asked rushing in out of breath, he even picked up some soup if Sam woke up, not the best kind, but, better than nothing.

Castiel watched Dean leave before turning his attention to Sam. He sat next to him on the bed and felt his forehead. It seemed a bit to warm, so he thought about what he should do. Noticing the towel Dean had left earlier, he went and soaked it with cold water before bringing it back to Sam and setting it on his forehead.

He looked up when he heard Dean speak. "I am not completely sure how he is. But he doesn't appear well." He told him.

"No shit" Dean mumbled moving over to the bed looking at his brother "Sammy, hey, come on wake up, I need to take your temperature" Dean hadn't realized that he was kind of close to Cas now and Sam wasn't waking up, he seemed to be in a deep sleep, and that worried Dean. Walking over the the thermostat in the room he put it down on a lower degree to keep it cool in the room. He would want his brother to be comfortable more than anything else. "Thanks for watching him while I went out Cas" Dean spoke sitting down in a chair wondering what caused his brother to get sick in the first place.

(going to bed)

"Of course Dean. Anything I can do to help." Castiel told him. He watched as Dean move around the room. He wasn't sure why he was so worried. Sam was just sicck. He would be fine, right? At least, he hoped so. He didn't want Dean to have to go through losing his brother.

"So what's going on up there anyways?" Dean asks figured he would try to understand something, lately a war had been trying to start, and most of the foreseen things haven't yet happened. Dean hated most angels, hated them because they so-called held the power of human's choices to lead them in whatever way they wish to see any outcome. It was just a game too and now the angels were fighting with each other along with any other race.

In Sam's Dream

Sam stood in a large field, he could see everything was dark and no one was around. Sam couldn't understand why a single figure appeared "Well hello Sam, nice to meet you" "who are you" sam demanded "oh calm down, calm down, sheesh, boys are always so quick to the end aren't they?" of course that was a hypothetical question that is. "What do you want, why am I here?" "you're sick, I mean if you would wake up you would know, oh, I mean if you could, see as far as you know, you're stuck in my little game, my little pawn, oops, i stayed to long, see you later momma's boy" Shae spoke fading away "At least tell me who are you" Sam yelled out "Shae-Shae" and she was gone completely.

"Nothing much is going on at the moment. We are just preparing ourselves for the battle that will soon come. When it does, we will be ready." Cas said. He knew Raphael was rallying his forces. At least, what was left of it. The rebels, as Cas liked to call them, had managed to kill quite a few off their enemies recently. They knew that Raphael wouldn't attack again for a while.

"So everything has gotten slow, that's good, hey, have you heard anything about a demon who puts people in deep sleeps? I heard mostly everyone who gets attacked by this demon is at night or when they're sleeping" Dean stated adding "And Sammy said it had to be a demon compared to any other creatures, but, he doesn't know all of them, so we're not sure on what kind of demon it is" Dean reached over in the bag he got from the store, he bought pie, pie is something he loved, and it was apple, one of his favorite kinds.

"I do not know of any demon that can do that." Castiel said, thinking. It would have to be a powerful on to be able to do this. "I could go found out what I can for you." He told him. And then, without waiting for a reply, he was gone. He wouldn't return until he had the information he needed.

Before Dean could tell Cas he didn't have to go and do that, the graceful angel was gone, and Dean was left in the room with his brother who was now tossing and turning as if he was having a nightmare. Dean walked over to his brother and exchanged the cold rag for another one. "N-no...stay back...don't..." Dean blinked, he was now wondering what his brother was dreaming about or having a nightmare fit over. "Sam come on wake up, it's just a bad dream, you're alright" Sam didn't wake up, but, at least he calmed down to where he wasn't throwing a fit anymore. Dean went to the other side of the bed and turned on the laptop looking up demons and sleep. Sam soon woke up feeling as great as he never before, it seemed the demon found another target, and now Sam was fine. "Dean?" Sam looked over, but, his brother wasn't there over about an hour later, he had just came out of the shower, he didn't waste time in there either. "You're up, how do you feel?" He asked Sam.

Castiel went through every contact he had. But none of them knew anything about the demon. Feeling upset with himself, he returned to the motel room to tell Dean. He was surprised to see Sam was awake when he got there. Maybe he was just sick after all. "How are you feeling, Sam?" He asked him, eyyes moving to Dean for a moment before returning to Sam.

Dean was wearing his blue jeans buttoned up, but, he was shirtless, and barefoot. A small towel was around his neck, he had just finished drying off his hear from being wet from the water of the shower. "Yea, I am feeling fine, why?" Sam hadn't any idea that he had just spiked an odd fever with cold chills hours before. "Did something happen?" Sam asked and now that made Dean worry "I didn't imagine that, did I Cas?" Dean asked Cas as he entered the room.

"No. You didn't imagine it. It appears you've been stricken ill by a demon. Yet none of my contacts know which one. This demon must be powerful if nobody is willing to talk about it." Castiel stated. There were few demons that powerful. But those that were shouldn't be messed with. All who try end up dead. And he didn't want that for these brothers.

"Well I don't know what you two are talking about, what I do know is that we need to get started on this hunt" Sam stated "What did you find out, you did do your research didn't you?" Sam started to scold "Oh hold your horses Sam, you just got better after being sick for three hours, we're not doing the hunt until we know that you are really better or not" Dean said "And since we don't know anything about this demon and it's powers over sleep, we shouldn't do anything until we at least know how to kill it" Dean added.

Castiel watch Dan and Sam talk. "I do not think you should be doing this hunt. This demon is more powerful than you know. It would be best if I handle this one." He told them. Though he wasn't sure they would losten or not. He hoped so though.

(if you ever do have any questions, dont be afraid to ask)

The brothers looked at each other and then back at Cas "Yea, like that's going to happen" Sam said going back to his laptop he opened up to scan for more information Dean probably missed while looking through the net for something about the hunt in the area. "Not happening man, it's a hunt, we're not backing down from this, we haven't backed down from one before, we're not going to to start now. I'm going outside to see what I can find, you can follow if you want" Dean said to the two as he put his shoes on and then his green t-shirt. Sam stood up following his brother, he started to feel a little bad, but, didn't let it affect his way of walking. They walked outside wondering if Cas would follow or not.

Castiel could feel himself start to panic at that. He didn't want them anywhere near this demon! He had to keep them safe! So, he followed them out of the room. He would do anything it took to keep them safe. Or die trying. Not that he wanted to die. There was still a lot he needed to do yet, but, if it meant keeping Dean and Sam safe, then he would.

Dean lead the way to the car as they both got in, Sam didn't get in until Cas would slide in the back. After everyone was in with seat belts on, Dean started the car pulling out of the spot where he parked it originally. They were going to this old Aslym where it was said scientists with twisted experimental ideas were holding inmates or random people from the street to experiment on them and most of the patients died when they were asleep. It was a bit of a stretch to the demon who could control dreams or what not, but, so far it was the only thing they really had to go on for now.

Castiel followed Dean and Sam to the car and slid into the back. He didn't know what they were going to do about the demon. It was to powerful to be killed. At least, from what he's seen. But that didn't mean he wouldn't try though.

(seriously if you want to help control sam by all means, im not the best at him)

The dream eater was a creature, the demon they were looking for wasn't an insane person, but, someone who was brainwashed, though they wouldn't know that. However, they are able to use the dreams of others to twist people's worlds and turn them upside down. Dean drove up and parked, him and Sam went inside with double the fire arm, a bag with a bunch of stuff for protection, and determination to take this whatever it was, down. "I'll check out the basement, you check upstairs Sammy" Dean said to his brother, Dean wasn't sure if Cas was helping or not "check the main room cas" and they began to walk away to check the different places.

(alrighty. I'll do that.)

Sam nodded and headed upstairs. He moved slowly, keeping his gun infront of him. He moved through every room, not really knowing what they were looking for. He was sure he would know it when he saw it though.

Castiel watched them go before looking around the room. He started searching, not being as catious. He didn't need to be. Not many demons could hurt an angel, after all.

(You didn't have to, but, I suck at playing Sam)

Dean walked into the basement, it had an erie feeling, and he was wondering if they would ever see the creature or anything here in the old hospital. "Come out, come out, where ever you are" What dean didn't know was that Sam was with the creature, subconsciously that is, and that meant, they would have to go in Sam's head or wait for the creature to come out. Luring it out wasn't so easy nor was it easy at all to get into someone's head awake or asleep. Plus there would be too many sleeping people (even the dead) for them to escape off to.

The creature took a human form, just like the legend went, and stood before Sam surprised to see him. The expression showed upon her face "Who are you?" Shae asked, nothing about her seemed off, besides the fact she was inside the asylum too.
