"No!" Anna shrieked as the stranger disappeared from view. Cas struggled to the surface.
"Gabriel!" Cas screamed, terror etched onto his features as he sank underwater again. He reached for the surface, but disappeared in a cloud of bubbles. Sherlock dove into the water, racing after Cas.
"Cas!" Gabriel screamed, the word ripped out of his throat as he sprinted to the edge of the lake. The rocks ended abruptly, the deep water shimmering just below it. Gabriel strained towards the water's edge, but a pair of strong arms caught him and held him back.
"Sherlock is already down there. You'll just get in his way," Dean hissed in his ear, but Gabriel didn't care. Sherlock resurfaced, black hair plastered to his forehead, but Cas wasn't with him. He gasped for air, and dove back under.
"No..." Gabriel whispered. "Not for real... Please..." Terror consumed him, and he fought against the grip holding him away from the water, away from Cas. The grip didn't loosen, and Gabriel stopped struggling as Sherlock reappeared, this time supporting his little brother.
Gabriel exhaled, but his relief was short lived when he saw how still Cas was. Sherlock dragged himself up onto the rocks, pulling Cas up with him. Gabriel broke free of the arms and sprinted over, falling to his knees beside his brother.
"Cas?" Cas's eyes were closed as Gabriel rolled him over, water drenching him. His lips were slightly blue, his fingers a bone white that seemed unnatural against the sun darkened stone beneath them. Gabriel pressed his ear against his brother's limp form, panic bubbling inside him as Cas's chest didn't rise and he didn't hear a heartbeat. Gabriel's pulse hiccupped, and he sobbed.
"Cas... Cas, no! Wake up! Please wake up! Please!" he cried, clutching his little brother's soaking body to his chest, shaking when Cas didn't stir. He heard sobbing in the background, felt someone grabbing his shoulder, but he didn't care. He was meant to protect Cas, look after him. But he hadn't. He'd failed him.
Dean knelt down next to him, emerald green eyes full of pain. "Gabriel, look at me!" he said, but Gabriel barely heard him. "Gabriel! Gabriel!" Gabriel shook his head mutely. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered. Cas was gone.
A/N: mwahahahahaaa!!! The plot thickens! Again, sorry for the short chapter. I just realized that this is the second time I've killed off Cas. Oops. What do you guys think? Honest opinions. Please vote, comment etc. I would love to hear from you!!! Love you guys xxx
