Author’s note: Slight spoiler for episode 4.03 “In the Beginning”
– spoiler is in the Author’s note (here!) and not in the story. Here comes the spoiler: Do you remember at
the start of this episode, where Dean woke up to find Castiel sitting on the
edge of his bed, and Castiel asked him what he had been dreaming about? Am I the only person who thinks that Castiel
knew the answer to his own question?
Second Author’s note: I’ve upped the rating back to an M as
this chapter gives a little more detail as to what happened to the girl when
Castiel was rushing to save his fellow angel.
Nothing really graphic, but it does bring up issues of rape. Consider yourself warned!
She wasn’t okay. Best
singer in the bar notwithstanding, Castiel knew about the dreams. They didn’t come every night anymore like
they had in the beginning, but still.
Every couple of weeks or so, she would wake up screaming in the middle
of the night. He hadn’t yet looked in on
her dreams to see what was happening for himself, but that was because he was
not meant to interfere. It certainly was
not because of the guilt; at least, that was what he was telling himself.
Castiel had expected that the dreams would go away on their
own, but so far they had not, and he couldn’t stand it any longer. He was sitting on the edge of the woman’s
bed, studying her sleeping face when she made a whimper that he had come to
recognise all too well. Leaning forward,
he eased his palm onto the woman’s cheek, and allowed himself to sink into her
dream.
There was a reason why angels were not meant to spy on the
humans as they sleep. The dream came in
pieces of fragmented memory interspersed with shards of painfully clear
emotion. She was woken in the dark to
find an unfamiliar body weighing her down, with cruel hands covering her mouth
and pinning her wrists above her head.
Then suddenly there was the sharp point of a knife; tearing clothing and
threatening to tear flesh. Then rough hands, squeezing, pawing and scratching
at her body.
Castiel had felt the woman’s fear before, but not like
this. Not with the scene playing out in
front of him, close enough to touch. This
time he was close enough to hear the words that the man used to taunt her as he
forced his way into her body, and to see the look of pleasure in his eyes as he
fed on her pain.
It was a memory, and it could not be changed, no matter how
much Castiel wished for it or how much pain it caused. So he did the only thing that he could do to
temporarily end the woman’s suffering.
She woke with a start to a noise which sounded rather like a huge bird
taking flight next to her ear, but when she looked around the room, she found
that she was alone.
* * *
She had noticed him staring at her before. Or at least, her friends had noticed, and
relayed the information to her in the gossiping fashion which was the humans’
way. He could hear them discussing him
in tones which he suspected would not be hushed, even to human ears. They had come to the conclusion that he
looked ‘cute’, even though he apparently also looked like an accountant, and
they were trying to coax the woman into speaking to him. Apparently she had not told her friends about
what had happened to her in the past, and she looked increasingly uneasy as
they tried to urge her towards him.
Castiel knew that he had not been entirely obedient in his
activities up until this point. But if
he carried out the action that he was currently contemplating, he would no
longer be able to even pretend that he was still following his orders. Not that he had any orders to complete
anyway, since heaven was still strangely silent. But in doing what he was planning, he risked
Falling. Regardless of this, he could
not continue ignoring this guilt any longer.
To escape the nagging of her friends, the woman had gone to
the bar to order a drink. As she rummaged
through her purse for change, she spotted Castiel walking towards her out of
the corner of her eye. Panicked, she
thrust her payment into the hands of the waiting barman and launched herself
away from the bar with such haste that she stumbled over her own feet and
started falling towards the floor.
Moving a little more swiftly than a human really should,
Castiel reached the woman and steadied her on her feet. His hands gripped her waist from behind with
enough strength to take her weight, then gentled as soon as she was certain of
her footing once more. She stiffened in
fright at his touch, turned her body so that she was almost facing him, and
then shifted her weight on her feet, preparing to step backwards away from the
stranger. However, taken aback, she
stared at Castiel’s hands as if she were trying to remember something long
forgotten.
Castiel did not speak whilst the woman continued to stare at
his hands. Eventually, she frowned, as
if she had given up trying to place the forgotten moment. As her eyes travelled upwards to meet his
own, Castiel noticed that her body was trembling. Suddenly, he realised that he had walked into
this situation with no idea what he would actually say to this woman. Hoping that his words would help to calm her
down, he said the first thing that came to mind.
