One week later.
Whatever it was that had made Cas so ill, it looked like it was gone now. Anna had been right. He didn’t need their help. Still it had been terrifying for Sam and Dean to see their friend suffering like that and not being able to help.
But Cas’ condition had made Dean set a few things in motion. He and Sam had been to the city hall at night, when the place was empty, and Sam had broken into the computer to make some legal papers for Cas.
“This is your ID” Dean said when he handed the ID card to Cas. “Your last name is Novak. Hope you don’t mind”
Cas accepted the card. “Thank you, Dean”
“Now when you get sick again, we can take you to a hospital” Sam commented. Cas got up from the bed and rubbed his eyes. “How are you feeling?” Sam asked.
“Like rubber” Cas answered. “Have I been sleeping all week?” Dean nodded. “Did I talk in my sleep?” “No” Dean said. “But there was a moment when you woke up and you said that Meg didn’t have your blood in her system and that it was something else that had made you ill. Do you remember that?”
Cas shook his head and then frowned concerned. “Meg” he said worried. “Did you tell her I’m here? She might wonder where I am”
“Yeah, I told her” Dean lied. “But she didn’t really seem to care”
“What?” Cas said disappointed.
“I’m sorry, Cas, but she’s a demon. She doesn’t care for humans. You better forget her” Dean said insensitive.
“No” Cas replied determined. “I’m going to take a shower, because I smell. And then I’m going back to her”

She bent on her knees and her hands glided over the earth. She didn’t know what she was going to find, but a strong feeling inside of her told her there was something underneath the earth. Something she needed to find.
And so she started digging with her hands. Soon her hands were wounded and dirty, but she just kept digging.
She carried on for what seemed like hours, her hands bleeding, until her fingers touched something solid. She dug faster and more fiercely, until she saw the object. When she saw Damon’s body she couldn’t breathe anymore. She covered her mouth and tears rolled over her face. She was too late.
She pulled him out of the pit and held him in her arms.

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena said sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a date tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.
