Raphael felt a hole in his heart. He knew Gabriel was dead...He had drawn it but he wasn't prepared emotionally. His father had struck him when Raphael told him, drawing blood. Now he sneaked down into the basement with ice cream and tears going down his cheeks. His mother looked up when he entered and frowned at him, only hours ago he had sobbed over a woman, a warlock he barely knew. He handed her a bowl before handing Beth one.
"Gabriel was killed...I can feel where she should be but she's not there," He saw the tears going down his mother's face and knew she didn't care about the blood in his veins. "I wish I couldn't feel where she should be...It hurts too much, it hurts like fucking hell." A small, warm hand took his and he looked at Beth, not caring about his tears. She smiled sadly.
"I'm so sorry about your sister. Hopefully she's in a better place," He tried to smile back but couldn't with the Gabriel sized part of him missing. "Raphael...Can you help us escape from Dhampir? You can come with us." Raphael shook his head sadly.
"He made me swear that I wouldn't," Beth looked sad but Raphael thought of something. "But I might have a way to make sure they find you quicker. Something my father never thought of." As he told them his plan, he saw Beth smile like she had never smiled since they met.

Cas couldn't remember much from the previous night, she remembered kissing Kol, using magic to find her mom, her sister dying and the demon that was Matt. She stared at Matt who slept on her bed, looking peaceful, and wondered how he could do it. There was a quiet knock on the door and Cas opened it to find Andy which was surprising. He held up a box of cereal, a carton of milk and three bowls with a smile.
"I thought you and Matt might want breakfast...I thought I could join you," Cas looked back at Matt to find him sitting up, nodding at Andy. "Thanks Matt," Cas stepped aside with a smile and they ate cereal in silence until Andy cleared his throat. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I'm your cousin, Cas. It was new to me." Cas chewed on the cheerios slowly, wondering how to reply.
"It's okay, blood family that's not my mom is new to me," Matt inhaled his bowl and went to the bathroom. "So, when are we saving my mom and Beth? They're family to me and I'd rather keep them around." Andy swallowed a spoonful of cheerios.
"When Allie and Enoch arrive," Cas frowned at him over her spoon. "Kol thought it would be a good idea if they came with us so we could detain Dhampir and Raphael before we went in." Bex opened the door and smiled at Andy after giving Cas a package.
"Your dad just arrived and this was left for Cas outside." Andy left, taking breakfast with him. Cas opened the package to find Beth's earrings and a note with an address along with two words written by two different people, Save us. Matt appeared behind Cas, plucking the earrings from the package.
"Definitely Beth's earrings, she scratched her initials on the stars," Cas pretended not to hear the catch when he said Beth. "We have an exact address for Dhampir...We need to tell your Dark friends," Matt frowned, rubbing the earrings. "Was it only three days ago we were going to the Talking Kettle to try and get a van?" Cas blinked, staring at the address.
"It feels like a lifetime ago...I can't believe that I liked a demon called Tobias," Matt snorted and set the earrings back into the package. "Matt...Does it freak you out that I'm suddenly a different person? I'm not completely human if at all, I have more than my mom and godparents, not to mention I had one of them killed." Matt took her hand with a small smile.
"You're still Cas, my best friend, the closest to a sister I've ever wanted. You aren't a different person...Well, not completely," He kissed her cheek and glanced at the earrings. "But I am. It's time I move on and find someone who'll feel the same way." Cas felt concerned about what could've happened in those two days to make him feel this way. Kol opened the door with a shy smile that Cas returned which made Matt mime vomiting.
"Enoch and Allie's here so gear up...Both of you," Cas felt confused which must've shown on her face. "Liz ran tests on Matt's blood to see if there was any permanent damage from being a demon and apparently he's a Javelin. According to Elle, Matt looks like her little sister who died after giving birth to a little boy who was taken by his normal father." Matt stared at Kol, apparently speechless. Cas stood up and scooped her hair into a ponytail.
"Get him ready," Kol helped Matt up and Cas kissed Kol quickly. "Thanks, Kol," Kol nodded and led Matt outside. Cas got showered and changed quickly before entering her room to see a strange man with bright orange hair. "Dhampir." The man turned with a smirk.
"Hello Castiel. You look so much like your mother," Cas grabbed the hilt of the Shield sword, glowing rainbow. "I know you let someone kill your sister and I can't believe you did that." Cas held the sword in front of her, glowing brightly.
"Gabriel wasn't my sister. My sister is Beth, the girl you kidnapped," Dhampir stepped towards her with an annoying fatherly smile and she rested the sword on his heart. "Take another step and I'll run this through you." Dhampir grinned at Cas which made her skin crawl.
"That was the last thing your mother said when she was pregnant with you," Cas pushed the blade in slightly just enough to draw blood. "But there's the part of you that's from me. You're willing to hurt me, your father-" Cas knocked him down and held the sword to his throat.
"You. Aren't. My. Father. Enoch is," Elle walked in and stopped in her tracks. "Get Enoch and Allie, please. I would but I can't right now," Elle shook her head. "Why not?" Dhampir grinned at Elle.
"Because she knows I'll tell people who the real father of her daughter is," Cas blinked, looking up at Elle. "Your new friend, Jensen, I believe." Cas stood up, moving her sword away and looked at the open door.
"KOL! MATT! LIZ! JENSEN!-" Cas saw stars, falling down and everything went dark.

Liz ran to Cas' room with the others on her heels to see Elle kissing Dhampir Sword. Jensen and Dorian both went incredibly green as Liz aimed her bow.
"Stop," Elle pulled of the kiss and went green when she saw her children. "What did you do to Cas?" Dhampir grinned, pointing at the bed where Cas lay, blood in her hair. Liz barely held Kol back from going to her. "It's over. There's ten of us against the two of you." Enoch and Allie clicked their fingers, flinging Dhampir and Elle against a wall, knocking them out. Liz watched Kol, Matt, Enoch and Allie run to Cas, the concern on their faces was heartbreaking. Matt checked Cas' pulse and sagged in relief.
"She's alive...Hopefully just a concussion," Liz smiled as he hugged her. "You're amazing, Liz. I wouldn't have been able to stand up to the bad guy and two friends' mom like that." Cas groaned and Matt helped Kol lift Cas. Liz went over to Elle and Dhampir, giving them paralysis beads.
"I really wish you hadn't did this," Dorian and Jensen's dad, Benjamin walked in, staring at Elle. "I'm so sorry, Benjamin...She was with him." Benjamin ignored Liz, looking at Dorian and Jensen who looked like they had paralysis beads.
"Dorian, I know that you're with someone," Dorian put his hand casually on the doorjamb but it was clear it was holding him up. "Who is she, Dorian? Someone I know?" Dylan looked in from the hallway and looked hopeful. "Son, please tell me so I can approve of her." Dorian's face lost all colour before he lied.
"Liz. I'm with Liz," Dylan ran off with Bex and Andy following him. "Right, Liz? We're together?" Liz shook her head before stomping after the others with Jensen behind her.

Dorian felt like a piece of shit. He looked at his dad who looked so confused and decided not to lie.
"Dad, the truth is...I like guys and I'm in love with Dylan...Have been since day one...He's my someday," His voice sounded shaky and scared. "If you don't like it, then we'll leave, taking our etaíros with us." He walked out of the room, thinking about where Dylan would be. Dorian ran into the gym to find Dylan bench pressing. Dylan rolled his eyes.
"Hey 'Hetro', want me to watch you lie about who you're dating again?" Dorian shook his head, walking towards Dylan slowly. "Well, what do you want? Do you want me to be the Ian to your Mickey?" Dorian kissed Dylan quickly before whispering possibly the best words in existence for the both of them.
"I came out. I told my dad that I like guys and I'm in love with you," Dylan stopped what he was doing and kissed Dorian like it was the last time ever. They pulled out of the kiss, Dorian's hand over Dylan's heart. "We should check on Cas, see if she's okay." Dylan nodded, breathless and they held hands as they went to the infirmary.

Kol watched Enoch and Allie healing Cas, thinking about something he hadn't done in years. He touched a flower in a vase gently, making it disappear. He saw Enoch watching him and took Cas' hand.
"Will she wake up soon?" He nodded and Kol brushed a strand of hair out of her face before standing. "Tell her we went to get Beth and her mum. By we, I mean me, Liz, Matt and Jensen," He left before either could reply and found Liz sitting outside with Matt and Jensen. "C'mon. The four of us are going to rescue Beth and Laurel right now." The three of them stood up and nodded, holding up a bag, probably filled with weapons. Matt handed Kol a piece of paper.
"That's the exact address for where they are," Kol nodded and Matt grabbed his arm as he moved away. "Raphael's a good guy...Please don't kill him or leave him behind. I don't want him to get hurt...Him hurt means the two most important people in my life get hurt." Kol nodded again and minutes later, they were driving towards the Space Needle. Kol sat in shotgun beside Jensen while Liz helped Matt get ready for the fight. Liz held up a bead.
"This will give you half the strength of a werewolf," Matt put it on and Liz winced. "And only lasts for ten minutes." They thankfully pulled up in front of the address and Matt carefully rubbed his invisibility bead.
"Let's do this. Please don't hurt or kill Raphael," Jensen and Kol nodded without hesitation but Liz didn't nod or anything which made Kol worried. "I'm not going first, no matter what," Kol got out and rubbed his bead quickly before trying the door. It sprung open easily and he crept in quietly with the others slowly behind him. "Beth and Laurel should be in the basement." Liz went to the basement door and pushed it open. A demon jumped at them and Kol gently touched its mouth as it went to bite off his hand. It disappeared and Matt didn't even blink as he hurried into the basement. Kol followed, mentally cursing him into hell and saw three people in chains. Laurel looked at Kol with an exhausted smile.
"Kol? Clara's son?" Kol nodded as he made the chains disappear and Laurel grinned. "Just like your granddad...Just like that sorcerer." Kol stared at her for a moment, processing what she said before helping her up. He made the other chains disappear and Beth hugged Matt tight.
"I was so fucking worried," Kol looked at Liz to see something flicker in her eyes. "Where's Cas? Is she outside in whatever you're driving?" Kol shook his head, hands buried in his pockets.
"She got hurt but her godparents are healing her right now," Beth seemed to be confused. "I'm Kol, british guy that's falling for your best friend." Raphael clapped his hands, getting everyone's attention while making Kol jump.
"Can we just go? F-Dhampir has who knows how many demons hanging around," Kol handed him a dagger and Raphael stared at his reflection. "Thanks, Kol." Kol led them towards the front door and nothing happened. Kol glanced at Laurel who was watching him. He opened the side door for Laurel and Beth before getting in. Matt and Liz sat in front while Jensen sat awkwardly beside Raphael. Kol stared at the house as they drove away, feeling uneasy.
"Did that seem too bloody easy to anyone else?" Everyone nodded and Kol looked at Laurel carefully. "You knew my granddad? How?" Laurel rubbed her red wrists.
"Because he's Cas' Godfather," Kol sighed, not even bloody surprised about this. "So...You're falling for my daughter?" Kol wanted to disappear as Beth looked at Matt who was fiddling with the radio.
"Did you threaten to kick his ass to the moon?" Matt nodded as The Reckless and The Brave started playing. "Good. Kol, I'll kick your ass to the sun and back if you hurt her." Kol could see why they were Cas' best friends as his phone played Na Na Na and he answered it, seeing Dylan's face. Before he could say hello, Dylan was yelling down the phone.
"KOL! WE NEED HELP! BEX! DORIAN!-" The phone call cut off and Kol stared at his phone. He glanced Raphael who had timidly taken Beth's hand before looking at Liz.
"Drive fucking faster. Something or someone's attacking the Library," The minibus zoomed forward and Kol looked at Jensen. "Dylan yelled Dorian's name before the call cut out." Jensen went pale and looked at Liz.
"Don't stop for anything or I won't ever forgive you," Jensen looked at Raphael with hope. "You can get there faster, right?" As an answer, Raphael disappeared, taking Beth with him.

Dylan grinned like an idiot when they visited Cas who seemed angry. She was glowing rainbow and her eyes seemed to resemble silvery ice.
"You let Kol, Matt, Jensen and Liz save them without me? What if they need magic and more than what Jensen has?" Dylan glanced at Dorian who cleaned his glasses before clearing his throat.
"Kol has magic too and they'll have Raphael's help," Cas sighed, waving a hand over her hair which cleaned it and changed it to green. "You suit green hair. It's very nice." Enoch frowned behind them.
"Are those your siblings, Dorian?" Dylan looked with Dorian to see the evil three with furled brows. Derek pointed at Dylan and Dorian like they were something he'd found in the toilet.
"We saw you kissing," Dylan didn't know what was worse, the pained look on Dorian's face or the disgust in his siblings' eyes. Dorian moved towards them but they stepped away. "Stay away from us...FREAK!" They ran away and Dorian fell to the ground, resting his head against Dylan's knee. Before Dylan could comfort him, the evil three screamed in terror and Dorian had disappeared out the door. Dylan followed with the others, meeting up with Bex and Andy who tossed them weapons. A demon stood in the entryway, the evil three at his feet, not moving. Dylan saw Dorian in one hand and Benjamin in the other. The demon grinned at Cas.
"Hello sister. Did you really think you'd be able to kill me?" Gabriel held Dorian off the ground and Dylan called Kol.
"KOL! WE NEED HELP!" Bex launched herself and Gabriel who threw Dorian at Bex. They collided with a loud, painful crack. "BEX! DORIAN!" The phone dropped to the ground as Dylan ran towards Gabriel, his axe being thrown at her head. Gabriel grabbed it and crushed it.
"I thought boys liking boys made them weak," Dylan's heart and etaíros ring both pulsed with pain. "Just give me my father and I'll leave. Castiel can stay here unless she wants the cure for our-" A dagger jutted out of her chest and she fell forward to reveal a boy that had to be Raphael holding hands with Cas' best friend, Beth. Dylan ran to Bex and Dorian with Andy on his heels. Andy checked their pulses while Dylan tried not to scream or cry, how did Andy do it?
"They're still breathing. Bex broke her arm and Dorian his leg but they're alive," Dylan let out a sob of relief and fell to his knees. "I'm going to check on the evil three." Dylan stopped him, wiping his eyes.
"I will...Stay with them. Dorian will appreciate me checking on them," Dylan went over to the evil three where Cas and Allie were healing them. "Are they going to be okay?" Cas took her hands from Derek, her eyes like mercury.
"Julia will be. Derek and DJ won't be," Dylan stepped back, covering his mouth. The last thing Dorian ever heard apart from their screams was Derek calling them a freak. "Is Dorian and Bex okay?" Dylan gave her a look.
"They'll live," The coldness of his own voice surprised him. "Dorian's going to wake up and find his family broken into so many fucking pieces. They'd be okay if we hadn't taken you here. This is your fault," He went back to Dorian and Bex to find Dorian sobbing into his hands. Dylan hugged Dorian to his chest as he put a healing bead on his bracelet and kissed his cheek. "I'm so fucking sorry, Dorian. It can't get any worse." The front doors opened. Jensen fell to her knees, staring at her little brothers and screamed wordlessly.
