Four
Cas wished she was wearing her coat, it was getting chilly on the roof. The roof door opened and she looked at see one of the gay boys. He stood beside her and offered a coat.
"Kol sent this up, he's mid trying to find the other sorcerer in your life," Cas put on the coat and the boy smiled at her. "I'm Dylan...You aren't going to tell anyone about Dorian and Jensen not being straight, are you? It would be a massacre." Cas smiled at Dylan.
"I wouldn't do that...Homophobic parents are something I've heard about," He frowned at her. "My Godmother came out to her parents and they tried to kill her before just kicking her out," Cas frowned. "Shouldn't I be helping since I know the people in my life?" Dylan nodded.
"That's what I told them but they wanted to wait until you felt better about meeting your part vampire, part demon older brother," He made a face before shrugging. "Would you like to help find this other sorcerer? They're the key to this, they probably know how you're supposed to find Dhampir." Cas smiled at him as they headed for the exit.
"Don't take this the wrong way but I thought that Dorian was the brains and you were the brawns," Dylan nodded, flashing a smile that was supermodel worthy. "I probably will never understand this world, will I?" He seemed sad before answering while opening the door.
"I thought the same thing. I grew up knowing nothing about the Dark World until a warlock killed my mom and my Dark dad saved me," Cas took his hand and squeezed it. "You just need people who are willing to help you. I had Dorian, Jensen, Liz, Bex and Andy. Kol and his mom were at the London Library but he would've helped as well. You have all of us, including Bex which, knowing my etaíros," He tapped his glowing ring. "Is like getting the basilisk not to kill or petrify you even though you're a muggle born," Cas felt sad at the Harry Potter reference but she was more confused. "Etaíros is Greek for partner. It means that me and Bex are connected together forever, when one dies, the other feels like a limb was cut off. If one's hurt, the other is too. If a etaíros falls for each other, the rings break, killing them both." Cas looked at Dylan carefully.
"So, it's okay if only one of them falls for the other?" He nodded, frowning. "Like the way Liz fell for Kol but he didn't fall for her?" He nearly tripped. "Anyone who has seen unrequited love could see it...I've seen it since before I knew what love even was," He looked worried. "I wouldn't tell anyone how someone else feels...It usually ends with a slap to someone's face, usually Beth's." He looked at her sadly.
"You'll find her and everyone else, we'll help you," Cas smiled in reply, she was scared she'd cry if she spoke. "But we need your help right now," He opened the door to the library and Cas saw everyone looking at a picture of Auntie Allie on a flat screen TV. "Cas, what's wrong?" Everyone turned and looked at her. Cas pointed at the picture.
"That's my Godmother, Alma Miracle...Auntie Allie," Kol checked a blue file and nodded. "So, both my Godparents are sorcerers and they know how I'm supposed to find Dhampir," Cas turned around. "My entire life is a complete lie...My mom wasn't just a cop, Enoch wasn't just a lawyer and Allie wasn't just a college student...I can't deal with this," She ran out of the room, everything she ever knew breaking apart. She ended up in the training room and picked up both swords again, going into the future. Cas held the Sword sword to the man with orange hair, Dhampir. Dhampir thought she wouldn't do it, he took everything. She had lost her life, her dreams, her wings...Her Kol. Cas dropped the swords on the table, her hands shaking. She wished she didn't have this power but it was hers, the only thing she could trust. She picked up the swords again and walked over to a dummy. She stabbed it in the neck and chest, wishing it could fight back. Her hand reached out and touched the dummy, her hand glowing. The dummy's arms became swords and Cas took out the swords from its chest. The dummy swiped at her but she blocked and cut off the head. Three more grew out of its neck and Cas was barely blocking the blows. "HELP! I NEED HELP!" Andy ran in and looked confused.
"What happened?" He threw a knife at the dummy's chest, going right into the heart and the dummy stopped. Cas rubbed her head, thinking, I made a dummy come to life. "Cas, what the fuck happened?" She explained the best she could and Andy pinched the bridge of his nose. "You brought it to life and turned its arms into swords. Then when you chopped off its head, three new ones appeared...Well shit. I think you shouldn't use your magic until we talk to your Godmother but it's your choice." She gave him a look.
"I agree with you and I know where she's going to be tomorrow," Kol walked in and frowned at the three headed dummy. "I used to magic to bring it to life and when I chopped off the head, three more grew," Kol just nodded but Cas could tell he was still confused. "Auntie Allie's having a ball tomorrow with her friends from college. I'm invited and I'm allowed to bring people with me." Ambrose walked in and smiled at us.
"I overheard you and three of you need to go on patrol tomorrow, full moon," Cas felt confused and it must've shown. "Werewolves turn and lose control. Necromancers need the full moon and kill people to bring different people back to life. Some witches and warlocks need the moon for certain spells. The others are getting ready for movie night, please stay away from the Notebook this time. I don't want to find Liz, Dylan and Dorian sobbing over a pint of ice cream at three AM again." They all nodded and they went into a room that Cas hadn't been in before. It was the second most modern room she had seen in the Library and was very brown. Jensen was telling the others off.
"-Her friend got her this so they'd watch these together. We can't watch these," Cas saw Beth's favourite movies in Liz's hands and took them back. Jensen looked apologetic. "I tried to tell them we shouldn't watch them." Cas found a movie that Beth and her hated but loved to watch; it was their least favourite Spiderman movie, the third one with Tobey Maguire. She handed it to Liz with a smile.
"That's one that Beth wouldn't mind me letting you watch. She loves having people watch it," Cas went and sat in the back, trying not to think about Beth and Matt smiling evilly at her for this. Kol sat beside her and gave her a look. "Can I help you?" He smiled evilly at her.
"Spiderman 3 is the worst Spiderman, Tobey Maguire's my favourite but this is horrible," He offered her a strange bag of candy which was very colourful. "Rainbow Drop? I get these portaled here every week," She took one and ate it; it was delicious. It seemed familiar, like she had had one before. The movie started and Cas could see everyone else cuddling with someone, Liz and Jensen joined for fun by the looks of things. Kol elbowed her and leaned close to her ear. "Should we cuddle so we look less awkward? Or at least put your head on my shoulder?" She put her head on his shoulder and he put his arm around her. It seemed weirdly perfect, like they fitted together effortlessly. She put her hand on his arm and go into the future. Kol offered his hand to a demon who made him and their friends disappear, leaving Cas alone, crying. She stopped herself from shaking her head and just watched the movie.
---
Kol was trying to hide the fact this made him unbelievably happy. They fitted together easily even though he was smaller than her. He could see the others cringing at the movie and had to stop himself from laughing. He looked at Cas to find her looking at him in a way that made his heart skip a beat.
"Lose something?" It came out more playful than he meant but she smiled and held his hand. The movie ended and they moved far away from each other as the others turned to look at them. "What did you think of the worst out of the Spiderman trilogy?" Jensen threw some popcorn which Cas caught in her mouth and they both laughed together. Kol remembered about the ball and three people couldn't go. "So, Alma's throwing a ball tomorrow and three of us need to be on patrol. Who doesn't want to go to a ball?" Liz sighed, leaning on her hand.
"I have to go on patrol since I know everything about every threat against humanity on a full moon," She gestured at Dylan and Dorian. "I'll take them two in case we have to go into any gay clubs and they fit in. Especially Dylan." The building shook suddenly which meant one thing and Dorian moved far away from Dylan.
"I knew they would wait for the worse time to come home," Kol knew Cas was confused and thankfully, so did Dorian. "My mom and dad just came home, probably with our little brothers and sister. They knew your mom so they'll recognise you like Ambrose did." Jensen pulled a face as she walked out.
"I have to clean my room quickly before the evil three tell on me," She walked back in backwards with a forced smile. "Hey mom, how was Patrída? Did you get the Agreement signed?" Elle Daggers hugged Jensen awkwardly before frowning at Cas.
"Laurel?" She blinked at Cas' hair for a moment. "I knew she wasn't dead which makes you Castiel?" Cas smiled and nodded.
"Yes but I prefer Cas," She offered Elle her hand which Elle ignored and Kol felt angry for Cas. "So, you knew my mom? What was she like with Dhampir?" Elle gave Cas a look.
"Look, Castiel," She emphasised on Cas' name in a way that Kol could see Jensen looked pissed. "I want to talk to actual Darks, not some girl who had her mother and friends kidnapped by her father so go do whatever normal girls do while I get a report," Cas walked out and Kol saw the hurt on her face. Before he could register, he was going after Cas with Jensen behind him. "Kol, Jensen, come back here right now or else." He heard Dorian talk to his mom.
"You don't need all of us for a report and Cas doesn't know her way around yet." Jensen looked at Kol as they reached the stairs.
"Would she go back to the roof again?" Kol nodded and they went up to the roof in time to see Cas step off the ledge. "CAS!" Jensen ran forward while Kol waited, he knew Cas had a plan of some kind. Cas appeared with wings coming out of her back and Jensen looked pissed. "You gave me a fucking heart attack, don't do that again. Also, WHY DO YOU HAVE WINGS?!" Cas landed and shrugged as her wings disappeared.
"I had a vision that I had wings in the future so I decided to try it out and my magic would've saved me if I was wrong," Kol felt a small smile on his face. "You know how there was an unknown DNA, I was thinking what if it's angel or nephilim which could give me wings." Kol tapped his chin, probably looking a stuck up dick.
"No one's ever seen an angel except the mothers or fathers of nephilim so it could be possible," He frowned. "I don't think anyone has ever brought back any nephilim samples...Except probably Dhampir if you might have nephilim blood," He gave her a half grin which she returned in a way that made his heart skip a beat. "You know, you're really smart. Not that I thought any differently and I'm rambling so I'm going to stop." Cas shrugged making Jensen look uncomfortable.
"You look cute when you ramble," She blushed and he felt himself blush. "I didn't mean to say that out loud and I'm going to find somewhere to sleep," Kol offered her his arm and she took it without any hesitation. He led her to the empty room near his and she smiled at him. "Thanks, Kol. Goodnight." She closed the door and Kol stared at the door.
"Goodnight," He said to the door and walked to his room. Like all the empty rooms, his room had little decoration, only pictures of the people he loved. Not bothering to get changed into his pyjamas, he took his shirt off and took a picture of his mom laughing at a book. "What did I forget?" He set it on his nightstand and went to sleep, his mother watching over him. He dreamed of a girl with rainbow hair until her screams woke him up. Kol rolled out of bed and hurried to Cas' room. "Cas?" He opened the door to find Cas with her head in her hands. He sat beside her on the bed and took her hand. "What's wrong?" She looked at him, her silver eyes looking like they had been melted.
"I saw the future...I saw three kids dead and being held by their family while I watched," She squeezed his hand gently. "I-I think that it was Jensen and Dorian's siblings...And it gets worse," Tears went down her face and Kol wiped them away without a thought. "I saw you screaming over someone's corpse...Like you had lost a part of yourself." Kol's mind went to Liz and prayed it didn't come true.
"It's not definite and the evil three aren't going anywhere near a fight for another two years," Cas started to slowly nod and Kol smiled, hiding his fear. "Get some sleep...You'll probably get an apology from Elle and see instantaneous heart attacks from everyone." He stood up but she held onto his hand.
"I know we barely know each other but..." Kol raised an eyebrow, hoping he wasn't blushing. "Could you sleep in here tonight? Just to make me feel safer?" Kol nodded with a small smile.
"I'll just get a shirt to make this less awkward," She nodded and he saw her quickly glance at his chest but it just made him feel happy instead of awkward or embarrassed. He went into his room and put on his comic book Spiderman shirt as a somewhat inside joke between them. He sat on the bed and awkwardly lay down beside Cas above the covers. "Is this okay?" She nodded and took his hand like it was as natural as it felt.
"Thanks Kol...I'm lucky to know you," She looked at him, looking a little desperate. "Could you tell me a story so I can sleep?" Kol nodded and thought hard, thinking of a story.
"There was a Dark boy who wasn't as big or strong as the other boys but he was the better fighter and better at strategy," She watched him and he just looked at her, ignoring what he was even saying. "He was terrified of being the son of Dhampir Sword and never felt like anyone cared about him except his etaíros. He never loved anyone and never thought he'd ever feel anything for someone...Until he helped save a girl with rainbow hair. He started to care for her and hopes she cares about him to." Cas' eyes were drooping closed as she whispered something.
"She cares about him too...Even before she met him in person," She made her eyes open wide for a moment. "I think we're going to kiss tomorrow at the ball...I hope it happens." She closed her eyes and fell fast asleep. Kol watched her and whispered even though she couldn't hear him.
"I hope it happens too." He closed his eyes and dreamt something that scared him. The demon offered Cas his hand and she took it, leaving him with his friends crying. She had left them.

Beth watched Matt sleep, worrying about everyone and wondering where her earrings were. The door opened and Beth watched Raphael walk down with ice cream, he seemed nervous. He offered a bowl to Laurel who took it slowly and Beth carefully took a bowl while Raphael carefully woke up Matt.
"I brought you some ice cream. Hide the bowls so my sister doesn't find out," He was risking his life to give them ice cream. "Castiel's probably going to Alma Miracle and she'll find you. I hope one of her friends kill me...Father would make me suffer for helping her." Matt looked at Raphael, looking as incredulous as Beth felt.
"She won't let them hurt you if you were risking your life for us. They'd take you with them," Laurel and Beth nodded together. "Cas cares about people...The only person I know she'd kill is Dhampir and if it comes down to it, maybe your twin." Laurel ate a bit of her ice cream before looking at Raphael, her son which still made Beth feel confused.
"I'm glad you just look a little like Dhampir and are nothing like him," The look of hope on Raphael's face made Beth want to cry. "I did love you and your sister, even after I found out what he did to you both. I thought you were dead and I wanted you back to help you go against your demon half...But you did it yourself." Raphael shook his head, staring at Beth.
"No...Beth helped me," He looked away, blushing. "Her pain hurts me and wants me to be nothing like my father. You should thank her." He left and Beth glanced at Matt to see the jealousy in his eyes. She wished he would just move on.
