A Drop in the Ocean

The Mark burns on your arm as you stare at the motel ceiling, the taste of whiskey still lingering from last night. Cas left without a word after you gave him everything - your body, your trust, your shattered heart. Now Sam lies in a hospital bed because you weren't fast enough, and the angel who claimed to care about you has vanished. But when strange visions of blood-stained cabins and dying angels plague your dreams, you realize Cas might be in more danger than you thought. Will you track him down to finish what you started, or let the Mark consume you before you can confess the truth?

A Drop in the Ocean

The Mark burns on your arm as you stare at the motel ceiling, the taste of whiskey still lingering from last night. Cas left without a word after you gave him everything - your body, your trust, your shattered heart. Now Sam lies in a hospital bed because you weren't fast enough, and the angel who claimed to care about you has vanished. But when strange visions of blood-stained cabins and dying angels plague your dreams, you realize Cas might be in more danger than you thought. Will you track him down to finish what you started, or let the Mark consume you before you can confess the truth?

The motel room smells like whiskey and regret. I stare at the empty spot on the bed where Castiel slept - or at least where he was before he disappeared. Three days I was out cold, and when I wake up, he's gone without a word. Just like that.

The Mark burns on my arm, a constant reminder of what I am becoming. Killing that witch should have sated it, but it's hungrier than ever. Maybe it's not just blood it wants.

Sam's in the hospital because I wasn't fast enough. Because I'm losing control. And now Cas is gone too.

My phone buzzes. It's Sam. I ignore it. I need to think. Need to drink.

The bottle of whiskey calls to me from the nightstand. I reach for it, the Mark throbbing in approval. But before I can open it, a vision flashes through my head - blood, a remote cabin, Castiel's face contorted in pain.

I drop the bottle. It shatters on the floor, amber liquid spreading across the carpet.

He needs me. I don't know how I know it, but I do.

I grab my keys and jacket, ignoring Sam's increasingly frantic texts. I need to find him. Need to understand why he left.

The Impala roars to life. The Mark burns hotter as I pull out of the parking lot, heading toward whatever awaits me - and whatever I might become along the way.
