Trust Me

Chapter 3

I was staring at Sam and Dean,
Dean said" What is it, Zad?" Well.. mainly staring at Sam, I was abruptly snapped out of my thoughts.
I said" Hmm?"
" What is it?"
" Oh, you look weird with glasses." He scoffed," Sam looks pretty though." He laughed, Sam sputtered then blushed, a small smile on his face as he looked down.
" Aw, angel #2 thinks Sammy looks pretty."
Sam mumbled" Shut up, Dean."
I said" So, what's the glasses for again?"
Dean said" Well, unlike you and Cas, we can't see hellhounds."
" But you and Castiel are going together, and I am going with Sam, why can't I be the eyes?"
" Oh, because-" I got distracted as I saw a light on the wall, he whistled, I looked at him. He turned off the flashlight," Of that."
" I see your point. I don't understand it, but I see it." Sam chuckled," I still don't know why I have to go, I don't like demons."
Sam said" I need your help."
" You're taller, and even though I'm an angel, you're probably stronger than me."
" It's a large warehouse, we need the extra help. And if you go, I'll buy you a birthday cake ice cream cone from the ice cream parlor down the street that you stared at for a solid 10 minutes."
" Let's go!" Dean chuckled, and Castiel walked in, I backed away from him, I scurried out of the motel room.
" You know, you don't have to be afraid of us."
" I'm not-" He stared at me, with his puppy eyes, he's good." I just... I can't do connections. And Castiel is an angel, he can't be trusted."
" You're an angel."
" I was raised again by humans... really amazing..." I looked down, gulping," By humans." I walked to their car, I felt Sam watching me as I stood with my head down, waiting for them to come out.

We got to the warehouse, we walked in, I stayed closer to Sam, further away from Castiel. Sam and I walked into a room, the door shut behind us, we whipped around. Sam hit the door, trying to open it, but it was really stuck.
Dean said" Sam?!"
Sam said" We'll meet you at the car, keep going!"
" All right! Be careful!"
" You too!" We walked away from the door,
I said" So, that was definitely planned." I looked at him with the flashlight, he scoffed, shaking his head, moving the flashlight down.
" Yeah, stay close, okay?" We walked in further, then I was jumped, I yelped as I hit the ground, I saw demons. I gulped and kicked one off me. I rolled and got up, I started fighting, my eyes glowed. I let my wings out, I flipped off a crate and punched a demon, grabbing their head and they lit up. I heard barking, I froze, then looked over to Sam, I gulped and looked at the entrance, at least 8 hellhounds. I ran to Sam, as he got into a fighting stance, I wrapped my arms around his stomach, using my wings to shield him from the hounds. I cried out as they attacked my wings, I held up my hand and flung them back. I squeezed my eyes shut and flew us out of that area...

I crashed onto the ground, Sam was coughing, I screamed in pain, looking at my wings. I breathed heavily, then felt searing pain, I screeched....

Sam's POV
I stared at Zadkiel as he fell back onto the ground, his wings laid out, then they scorched onto the ground while he screeched in pain.
I said" Zadkiel... Zadkiel!" He was sobbing, he lost his wings... protecting me. Why would he..." Zad!" He wasn't listening or couldn't hear me, I stared at him, then lifted him up into my arms, making his legs wrap around my stomach and his arms fell to his side. I started walking, I had to get him out of here, I heard fighting from the warehouse but I can't leave him alone and I can't get him to respond to me.

I carried Zad back to the motel room, it was only a mile or so away, it wasn't that bad. I opened the bathroom door and put him on the counter, I gently took off his shirt. Two fresh red lines were down the middle of his back, he hasn't stopped sobbing yet. I stopped up the tub and ran the water, I pulled off his shoes, socks, then his pants, I decide it's best to leave his boxer briefs on him. I turned off the water faucet as the tub filled up, I gently lifted him up and put him into the water. I started gently cleaning the wounds, his body flinching every few seconds to my hand rubbing the rag across his skin. I shushed him gently, trying to soothe him but that was impossible... there's no telling what kind of pain he's in to losing his wings like that.

I heard the door open and then I turned my head and saw Dean and Cas, Cas gasped at the scene. Zadkiel had his knees pulled up to his chest, he was staring into space, violently shaking and whimpering softly. Zad's head slumped, I knew he'd sobbed himself to sleep, I adjusted his body so he couldn't fall in. The water was soothing the open and red wounds on his back, so I'm gonna leave him in there for a little while. I got up, following Dean and Cas away from the bathroom door.
Cas whispered" What happened?" He glanced to the bathroom,
I whispered" He protected me, but his wings... they-they scorched into the ground when he fell."
" He lost his wings?" Cas looked at me, intently, I gulped.
" Heal him!"
" I can't, Sam, no one can."
" He's still an angel, right?"
" Yes, of course... but he's defenseless." No! No way! I'm not letting anything happen to him!
" He's got me! He's not defenseless!"
Dean said" What happened?" He looked at me then to the bathroom, I sighed,
" Well, when we got seperated, we were jumped, and Zad, he just... we fought then they released the hell hounds, eight of 'em. Zad shielded me, then blasted them back, I think they attacked his wings too, he flew us outside. He crashed to the ground, screaming in pain, I saw his wings, they were so damaged, and they just scorched into the ground beneath him... I couldn't get anything out of him, so I just carefully lifted him up and high tailed it out."
Cas said" He's in agony. His wings were already damaged... but now they're gone, I don't know if he'll recover from this." I sighed, I feel like this is all my fault, I made him come with me in the first place... then he protected me from getting mauled by hellhounds.
I heard Zadkiel whimper" Sam..." I rushed back to him, crouching down to his side." It hurts... it hurts everywhere." His red and puffy eyes looked at me, I sighed, he grimaced, whimpering loudly.
I said" Wanna get out of the tub?" He nodded weakly," Okay." I held his sides, helping him out of the tub, I wrapped a towel around him. He breathed heavily as the towel skimmed his wounds," Sorry, sorry, sorry." He stepped out of the tub, I gently dried him off, then gave him a pair of his sweatpants and boxers, I looked at him," I'll be right outside the door." He nodded, I walked out, and stood by the door for a few minutes, he opened the door and flinched. I led him to my bed," Lay on your side or stomach, Zadkiel, okay?" He laid on his side, his face buried into the pillow, I let the blanket drop at his waist. He started sobbing into the pillow, I flinched, watching him, he squeezed the pillow tightly and curled around it. I looked back at Dean and Cas, Dean was staring at Zadkiel, so was Cas. I don't think any of us knew what to say to him, what I just did with him was mainly me just cooing and shushing him gently, trying to calm him down. I turned off the lamp next to him and walked to them, I could barely hear the small sobs that came out of his mouth.
Dean whispered" We took care of all of them, when are we gonna leave?"
Cas whispered" He's not ready for travel yet. His pain is unbearable. The wings are the most sensitive, and all of those nerves were just burned off, his pain is Indescribable."
" All right, we'll leave in a few days. Sam, did you patch the open wounds?"
I whispered" No, I couldn't... he was screaming when the rag gently skimmed them, I couldn't touch the wounds."
" Well, they could get infected, we gotta get them patched tomorrow."
" Okay."
