There Is a Difference

4x22

Shelby

Dean sat on one of the chairs while I began to slowly pace around the room, my eyes looking over every object and painting that sat in the large room. It had been almost an hour since I had my argument with Cas. Although Dean was curious, he didn't ask what was said.

The feeling of someone's presence behind me made me stop and turn to see Castiel standing behind me. My mouth opened to speak but he stopped me by placing a hand on my mouth and pushing me up against the wall.

The action grabbed Dean's attention and he quickly stood, ready to chew Castiel out. The Angel turned to Dean, placing a finger on his lips in a "shhh" motion. Dean shut up, confused as Castiel turned to me.

Something was up, something was different in the way he looked at me. As if I knew he need my conformation, I nodded to him, letting his hand leave my mouth.

He pulled out a knife, making me grow slightly worried. My worry was replaced with confusion when he slid the knife across his forearm. He took his blood with his other hand and smeared it on the wall by me. I moved away, watching as he drew a banishing sigil with his blood.

Suddenly, Zachariah appeared, his eyes fixed on Cas in an angry and confusing demeanor.

"Castiel! Would you mind explaining just what the hell you're doing?"

Cas finished drawing the simple and turned to Zachariah before slamming his hand in the center of the sigil. In a flash of white light, Zachariah vanished.

Dean made his way over, looking at the symbol before looking at Cas.

"He won't be gone long. We have to find Sam now," Cas said, making Dean nod. "Where is he?"

"I don't know. But I know who does. We have to stop him from killing Lilith."

Confused, I looked at Cas, "But Lilith's gonna break the final seal."

The hope I had for him vanished, only to return again when he looked at me. "Lilith is the final seal. She dies, the end begins."

A small gasp left my lips at Cas' words, but before another word could be said, the three of us disappeared and appeared suddenly in a living room. Better yet, Chuck's living room.

About damn time! God, I've been trying to get your attention for hours! I told you we shouldn't trust these Angels!

Chuck walked into his living room, stopping in shock when he spotted us, "Wait. This... this isn't supposed to happen."

"Where's Sam?" Cas asked, but Chuck was silent, as if he was still in shock.

My voice rose, part of it being Anna who was still blabbing on about the Angels and trust and other stuff that I barley paid attention to at the moment. "Tell us where Sam is, now!"

Quickly grabbing a piece of paper, Chuck raced over to Dean and handed him the paper. His eyes glanced over at me, almost looking scared before he backed away a bit.

"St. Mary's? What is that, a convent?" Dean asked, looking at the paper.

"Yeah, but you guys aren't supposed to be there. You're not in this story," Chuck said, worried of what the new storyline might hold.

To my surprise, Cas spoke up, looking at me as he said, "Yeah, well... We're making it up as we go." My eyes looked at his, a small grateful smile ready to slip onto my face, but it doesn't get to far before the lights flicker and a rumbling noise begins.

A bright, white light appears before us, almost blinding as it grows.

Chuck, who seems to know what's going on, says, "Aw, man! Not again! No!"

"It's the Archangel!" Cas yelled over the roaring noise before looking over to Dean, "I'll hold him off! Just stop Sam!" He lays his hand on Dean's forehead and he transported away.

Knowing I'm next, I quickly speak up, yelling over the noise. There was something I had to say, and Chuck's worried voice made me wonder if this might be my only chance, "Wait! Cas, I was wrong! There is a difference!"

Cas stares at me, not showing to much emotion in his face. But his eyes showed enough to give me some type of peace. His hand reached up, sat against my forehead, before the bright light disappeared and Cas was gone.

"Shelby," Dean's voice said, making me look ahead of me to see Dean. We were in an empty part of the convent.

Dean and I started to walk down the hallways, keeping an eye out for Sam or Lilith. We were both silent as we walked, turning a corner to find double doors opened at the end of the hallway.

The back of Sam was barely noticeable, but what was, was the smiling Ruby who turned and looked at us. With a simple wave of her hand, the doors to the sanctuary close.

"Sam! Sam!" Dean and I yelled as we ran at the door, banging on it only to have it stay shut. We both pushed on the door, but it was no use.

I stopped, taking a step back and sucking in a breath. Dean stopped and looked back at me, confused before catching on to my actions.

"Shelby, wait-"

"Anastasia," I said, causing my eyes to turn black and my soul get sucked back inside.

Anastasia

The situation I was in was unique, even I'll admit it. I could just kick back and relax and let them release my boyfriend or help in stopping them. Either way, there would be consequences.

So, I'll do half.

With a throw of my hand, the double doors burst open, revealing Sam clutching his head on the ground and Ruby looking over in shock. Dean ran to his brother while I held out my hand to Ruby, freezing her in her spot.

Clutching it slowly, caused Ruby's demon to choke and dissolve into the ground. In less than a minute, she was dead and collapsing onto the ground.

A bright white light starts to take over the room, coming from the small hole in the middle of the floor.

Dean and Sam stand, both of them looking at the light. "Sam, what's happening?" Dean asked?

A smirk placed itself on my face as I said, "He's coming." Seconds later, the room has almost completely been taken over, blasting itself out of the hole. Just like that, I'm no longer taking control of Shelby's body. In fact, I barley feel Shelby take over, instead it's like we're both just cladding through the air like ghost.

Well shit.

Season 4 is done! Yay! Hope you like it, let me know what you think?
