Broken
A part of Castiel is trapped.
Outside, he has won and the angel blade doesn’t work on him anymore. Dean has an expression of betrayal on his face and Castiel would give anything to make him stop.
“We were family once.”
He bangs on the walls, if not to escape then to stop the images from showing. Screaming (Deandeandeandeanstopnosamdeanbobbyanyonehelppleasenostop), he claws at the walls, the voices outside still clear as ever. They echo in his mind, phrases like “You’re just saying that because I won” and “Now I’ve lost Sam, don’t make me lose you too” making his head pound with regret and heartbreak.
Slumping against the wall, their faces are ones that will be seared into his memory forever. He can only give out a broken sob, left alone to his thoughts (and they were painful thoughts, full of deanbalthazarbobbysamrachelI’ve killedthemallmakeitstopturnbacktimenononono).
A part of Castiel is trapped in a glass cage, where he can see everything and do absolutely nothing.
Will no one save him?
