Cas’ eyes flashed open and his chest went up and down. He was tied onto a chair and he felt a sharp pain in both his hands. He looked down at his shirt, which was soaked in blood. He moved his arms and the pain in his hands became worse. He looked over his shoulder and saw how an angel sword pinched his hands together. He heard footsteps and tried to free himself.
“You’re awake” Zoey said breathless. She was carrying a plate with food. “Good”
“You killed all those people” Cas said trembling. “Why?”
Zoey sighed. “Do we have to talk about that?” She lifted the plate. “Look, I made you dinner”
“I don’t eat” Cas said short.
“Yeah, I heard about that” Zoey nodded.
“Why did you kill those people? And why did you make that DVD about me and Alex?” Cas insisted to know.
Zoey sighed again. “All right, then, if you must know” She put the plate on the ground. “When I saw you for the first time, through my field glass, I felt something new. Something I haven’t felt with Gerard for a very long time. But when Daphne saw you she ruined my chances. You believe you owe her, because you think she saved you. But she didn’t. I did. I saw you first”
“Why didn’t you just say something?” Cas asked.
“I did. On the first night you were in Daphne’s house, but you didn’t listen” Zoey said desperate.
“I’m sorry” Cas said weak.
“I forgive you” Zoey smiled and she caressed his cheek. Cas shivered. “You have no idea how hard it was to see the two of you together. That’s why I was such a bitch in the beginning. All I really wanted was to tell you how much I love you”
“If you love me you wouldn’t try to kill me” Cas said difficult.
“What? No, I would never do that” Zoey said upset. “I just had to get you here, so we can have some privacy. Crowley wants me to kill you, but there’s no way I’m doing that”
“You’re really stupid if you think you’ll get away with this. Crowley will find you and kill you” Cas said demeaning.
“You don’t have to be mean” Zoey said a little hurt. “I even made the holy circle as big as possible, so you’d have the entire building”
Cas looked around him. So that’s where the light came from. He looked at the walls. “I see you made some decorations” he noted.
“We can’t have any of your angel buddies showing up, can we?” Zoey said. She clapped her hands. “Okay, why did I kill those people. Jack was being too nosy and I know that’s my fault, so I had to fix it. I didn’t plan to kill Carrie, but she was there and I couldn’t take any chances. Shannen said she slept with you and I know she lied. It was so disrespectful of her towards you. I had to punish her. That waitress made out with you. You’re mine, I couldn’t let her get away with that. And those people in the police station wouldn’t let me see Meg. And I had to see Meg, because I had to give her Daphne’s book, so she could figure things out. I know she’s stuck. Oh, and Gerard was too jealous for words. You have no idea”
“And the DVD?” Cas asked.
“Oh, right, Crowley made that with a few of his demon tricks” Zoey said. “The point is that Daphne turned you in and I wanted you to turn against Daphne completely”
“You’re awake” Zoey said breathless. She was carrying a plate with food. “Good”
“You killed all those people” Cas said trembling. “Why?”
Zoey sighed. “Do we have to talk about that?” She lifted the plate. “Look, I made you dinner”

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.
