Dean POV
"Got anything?" I questioned, walking across the motel room to where Sam was looking for a case on his laptop.  

"Nothing so far." he told me, causing me to groan.

"Seriously?" I sighed, "There hasn't been a case in days."

"I know." Sam looked up from the screen, turning to face me as he continued, "Dean, don't you think that's a little odd? I mean, we should have found at least something by now."

I opened my mouth to reply, but before I could, the faint sound of wings flapping was heard behind me, followed by a pained grunt.

Angels. I barely had time to complete the thought before I whirled around, gun in hand, although I knew the weapon wouldn't do any good.

"What the hell?" I was definitely not expecting what I saw.

Castiel was standing in the middle of the room, covered in blood and wounds. He was clutching his stomach and staring at the floor, looking as if he would pass out at any moment. But, when his gaze finally lifted, and I was shocked by the anger and determination I found there.

"You have to find her." he spoke suddenly, his voice low and rough, "You have to protect her."

"What? Cas, what's happening?" Sam exclaimed, "Where were you?"

"You have to get to her before they do." he told us urgently, continuing on as if Sam hadn't spoken, "You have to find a way."

"Wait, Cas, who are you talking about?" I took a step forward as the Angel began to sway, "What's going on?"

"Avamarie Tallow." he gasped out, "You have to hurry. Find her before they do."

With those last few words, Castiel collapsed to the ground. Shaking out of our shocked stupor, Sam and I rushed over to where he lay, the former checking his pulse.

"He's alive." Sam spoke up, and I gave a sigh of both relief and frustration, "But he's out like a light."

Together, we managed to get the unconscious man onto one of the motel beds, where he would hopefully recover. Sam and I shared a glance, both of us knowing what this meant.

Here we go again. I internally groaned.

"Well," I stated simply, "It looks like we have a case after all."
