The next morning.
Cas opened his eyes, hoping Meg would still be with him. But besides him, there was no one in the bed. It had been a rough night. His shoulder kept hurting, but he assumed that was normal. Maybe he should ask Meg if she could help him out.
He got out of bed and frowned. The pain had moved to his head.
“Cas? Are you up?” Meg called, before she appeared in the doorway. “What’s…wrong?” she asked when Cas sat back down on the bed.
“I don’t…I don’t know” Cas responded.
“Are you in pain or something?” Meg asked a little irritated, while she walked to the bed. ‘I don’t know’ wasn’t going to help much.
“Isn’t that obvious?” Cas snapped hostile. “Or are you really so stupid you can’t see when someone is hurting?”
Meg frowned, confused and angry. “What the hell has gotten into you?”
Cas shook his head and frowned. “What were we just talking about?” he asked soft.
Meg took a step back. “Are you playing games with me? Or you really don’t remember?”
He didn’t answer, but stood from the bed and walked past Meg.
“Okay, that’s it. I’m taking you to a hospital” Meg decided determined.
Cas rotated his head so quickly it surprised Meg he didn’t snap his neck. “We can’t go to a hospital! Anna said we need to keep a low profile!” he snapped angry. “Don’t you ever listen, bitch?!”
Meg walked to him with fierce steps. “Don’t ever call me that again” she hissed. She raised her hand to hit him, but right before she could Cas grabbed her hand and her opposite shoulder. He lifted her from the ground and threw her in the air. She landed against the wall next to the bed.
“Why are you lying on the ground?” Cas asked, sounding as if he really didn’t know what he had just done. He walked towards her and helped her up.
“Put your clothes on” Meg commanded bitter. “We’re going for a ride”

“If I have to die, so will you” Zoey said.
“No one has to die, moron!” Dean yelled angry. “Put the fire out, open the door, do something!”
Zoey shook her head. “I can’t. Crowley will kill me, if I let you go”
“He’ll kill you either way” Dean snapped.
“Well, if Cas doesn’t love me I don’t care” Zoey exclaimed crying.
They heard a noise and looked aside. Cas opened his eyes and frowned.
“Dean?” he said hoarse.
“I’m here” Dean said, quickly walking to Cas. He helped Cas sit up and supported his back. He looked from Cas’ injuries to Zoey. “If you really love him, you’ll let him go”
Zoey shook her head.
Cas put his fingers in his blood and painted a sigil on the floor. He poked Dean and nodded weak at the bloody sign.
“What is it?” Zoey wanted to know.
But Dean put his hand on the sigil and he and Cas vanished in a blinding light.
“No one has to die, moron!” Dean yelled angry. “Put the fire out, open the door, do something!”

Cas beached on the street, far away from Rufus’ cabin. He wasn’t sure how to feel. He was angry, because Dean wouldn’t listen to him. Dean always thought he knew everything better. He was disappointed, because Dean had no faith in him at all.
He was so up in thought that he didn’t hear his name. But maybe that was because she didn’t use his real name.
“Emmanuel!”
Someone grabbed his arm and forced him to turn around. He looked at the woman. She looked familiar.
“Didn’t you hear me?” the woman asked. Cas stared at her. “Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Daphne, your wife?”
Cas widened his eyes as he remembered her.
“Daphne” he said breathless. “How did you find me? What are you doing here?”
“Well, I hired a detective, I needed to find you” Daphne said. She searched in her pockets and conjured a big brown envelope. “I need you to sign these”
“What is it?” Cas frowned.
“A petition for annulment” Daphne answered.
