The Beginning

Empty

When I wake up, I find myself in a giant unfamiliar bedroom. I don't recognize the place, but I could tell I was in someone's home. I sit up on the bed I've been put in and find a man standing by my door. Once he notices me sitting up, he reaches for his phone and dials a number. "She's awake." He says simply, before exiting my room. I quickly hop off of the bed, and try to find another way out, knowing he'd be standing outside the door. I go to the window, but soon realize I'm on a higher floor in this mansion, and there's no way I could make that jump. Suddenly I'm startled by the noise coming from the doorknob. I quickly turn around and face whoever was about to enter the room.

"Hello, love." Says a man with an English accent. He's wearing a black suit and a black overcoat.

"Who are you?" I question, without thinking.

"Right to the point, I see? I could ask you the same thing, darling" He says to me.

I narrow my eyes at him. "What do you mean? Why are you keeping me trapped in here if, you don't even know who I am?" I question.

He rolls his eyes. "Unfortunately for you, love. I'm simply following orders by a certain angel."

"Castiel?" I question, now remembering being with Cas back at the bunker and him placing his fingers on my head, causing me to black out. The man simply nods. "What? Why does he want you to keep me here?" I question.

He shrugs. "I don't know, darling. I guess I know about as much as you do," I let out a sigh. For some reason I didn't feel at danger with the man. He didn't seem to want to cause me any harm. "What did you do to piss of our feathery pain in the arse." He says. I try thinking back, and try to find a reason as to why Cas would be pissed off at me. I couldn't remember anything. He barely showed up at thebunker, and whenever he did, he would say a few words and was out as fast as he came.

"I guess I know about as much as you do, darling" I say back to him. This causes his lips to curve up slightly.

"Crowley." He says as he extends his hand out to me. I stare at it for a moment, considering whether or not I should take it. After a couple of seconds of debating, I decide to grip his hand.

"Elena." I respond. I figure, if I befriend him, maybe I can get him off guard and find a way out.

"Pleasure to meet you, Elena," He says. He then lets go of my hand and lifts both his hands up, gesturing around the room. "Make yourself comfortable, you'll be here for awhile. I've been given strict orders not to harm you, unless you try to escape so it'll be much easier if you just play along." His suggestion sounding more like an order, as he exits the room.

I sigh and look around the room. There's not much in here. I walk over to it and spot a note on top. Pick it up and begin to read it. Dial the number printed below to order food, or need your fridge restocked. I place it back on the fridge. I guess if I was to be held hostage, I couldn't ask for better treatment. My eyes go back to scanning the room, when I notice my bag on the floor in another corner. I quickly run over to it, looks like everything was In here minus my new items and my phone. Of course, my phone was taken away.

My mind goes back to thinking. Why would Cas do this to me? I thought he was supposed to be one of the good guys, and apart from that. Why me? What was Castiel up to? Maybe with a little luck, he'll come if I pray to him.

I sit on the bed, crossed legged. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. "Dear Castiel, It's Elena. Please come. You need to explain to me why you're making me stay here. Please." I wait for a moment before opening an eye and looking around the room. It's empty. Figures he wouldn't come. I let myself fall back onto the bed and let out a groan. I need to find a way to get out. I will get out. One way or another, I will get out.

Dean:

"Dean, calm down. It'll take us longer to return to the bunker if we end up crashing the Impala. I'm sure she's fine."

"How can you be sure, Sam?" I practically growl at him. "It's been a week. She hasn't messaged or called either of us. Cas is a no show after seeing him in the diner, how can you be so damn sure she's alright?" I ask. Sam's mouth clamps shut and he turns to face forward. "Exactly." I say, as I grip onto the steering wheel tighter.

Elena hadn't talked to us since the day we left. At first I figured she wanted some time to think about things, I didn't think much of it. After another couple days I started getting more concerned. The case we worked, ended up having Bobby and Cas with us as we took down the "Mother of all monsters", Eve. Before I knew it a week had gone by, and we heard nothing from her. I could sense something was wrong.

Finally after a dreadful few hours of driving, we arrive at the bunker. When we enter the bunker my stomach tightens in a knot, I can already feel the emptiness. "Lena? We're back!" I shout out hopeful. I'm greeted by silence. I quickly make my way to her room, and what I find is unexpected. An empty room. All her items are gone. She left. I sit on her bed which was still neatly made, and had been clearly unslept in for a while. My eyes scan the room expecting to find a note, but I'm disappointed to find nothing. Finally I get up from the bed and go back out to find Sam bringing our bags in.

He must have noticed a look on my face because he quickly places the bags down on the floor and makes his way towards me.

"She left, Sam." I don't try to hide the clear pain in my voice. I simply walk away and make my way towards my room. I guess Cas was right. I shouldn't have let things go far with her. She's now gone and I'm actually left feeling empty.
