Part 8: Locked Away
Jin's POV
I watched as someone attacked Cas. I didn't know what to do. Then the lights went out. With the flashes of gunfire I was able to see for brief moments at a time. Jess was holding onto my hand tightly, tears were streaming down her face. Suddenly I got hit on the head with something. I fell to the ground and the world went dark.
*Later when he wakes up*
I opened one eye slowly. Everything was blurry but I was able to make out I was on my back. I open the second eye and stare at the ceiling for a second. Suddenly I hear footsteps. I tried to sit up, but a hand pushed me back down.
"Please. Relax." Delaney popped into my view. Her clothes were ripped and her jacket and shoes were gone. A large gash ran down from her forhead to her jaw and her arm wound had reopened now that the bandages on it were missing. She pressed a finger to my lips.
"Cam. Come over here. He might be dead." Camren popped into view at my other side. His shirt and shoes were gone and his jeans were ripped so that they were only down to his knees. Large gashes were on his chest and a chunk of his arm was missing. He pressed his hand to my neck pulse. He paused a moment then let go and felt the back of my head. He then set my head back down on something soft.
"He's still breathing but he'll be at death's door in a few hours if the bleeding doesn't stop." Camren said as he lifted up his hand. I felt my breath catch in my throat. His hand was covered in dark red blood. My blood.
"Well that's awful." Delaney said. Camren stood up and walked off. Delaney placed her ear to my chest and looked at me.
"Listen to me Jin. We've been kidnapped and locked away. Everyone has injuries. We need you pretend to be knocked out so we could help you all. Just lay still till we say you can move." She whispered quietly and her lips barely moved. I nodded slightly and she stood up and walked off.
A few minutes passed before I felt a hand slip into mine. I could tell already it was Jess' hand. I gave it and tight squeeze and I got a squeeze back.
*A few hours later*
I heard footsteps coming near Jess and I. I held my breath and suddenly Delaney popped into my vision. She had wet and dried blood splattered on her face and clothes. She leaned next to me and propped me up to a sitting postion.
"Good morning Jin." She said. I smiled painfully at her. I looked around the room. Sky, Ross and Cory were all sitting up and talking as they sat on their cots. Patches of cloth were on parts of their bodies. Shelby and Max were still asleep on their cots. Jess was awake but laying there looking at the ceiling. Camren was leaned over his brother, who was covered in blood.
"Is anyone dead?" I asked. My voice was croaky and cracked slightly.
"No. Everyone's fine." Delaney said. I grimaced slightly at the pain in the back in my head.
"Jin can you sit up?" I nodded and Delaney let go of me. She went over to Jess and started helping her up.
*Another few hours later*
Camren's POV
I put my ear to Cas' chest. I strained to hear something other than the silence but there was nothing. His heart had stopped. I felt tears pool in my eyes as I kneed next to him. I looked at his hands. They had taken ring like they had taken my necklace and everyone's things. I touched his pockets, hoping that there was something in there. I got a few coins, a photo and a piece of old candy.
I looked over at everyone else. They were all asleep since it was probably night time. I let my tears go down my face. I took off Cas' tie and slipped it on. I ripped off part of his shirt cuff and shoved it in my pocket. His shirt was a mess of blood from the gunshot wounds on his chest.
I closed his eyes and kissed his forhead. I fixed up his hair and straightened up his suit. I made sure he looked peaceful. He had done so much for me as a brother and I hadn't been able to save him.
"Rest in peace Castiel." I whispered. I let go a shaky breath and began crying harder. My body racked with sobs as I whimpered.
Shelby's POV
I opened my eyes and saw Camren. He was shaking and sat next to someone. I crawled over to him and realized it was Cas.
"Camren?" I whispered. He looked at me with tears going down his face.
"He's dead." His voice didn't crack as I thought it would. In his hand I saw a photo. I grabbed it and stared at it. It was a picture of Cas, Camren and Delaney. Camren and Delaney looked about the age of three. Cas looked about six. Camren and Delaney had ice cream cones in their hands and ice cream was smeared in their faces. Cas had a large cookie in his hand and crumbs were on his face.
"When did you guys take this?" I asked. Camren smiled a little and looked at the photo.
"That was when we went to the market place after Delaney had finally been adopted. Cas and I are biological brothers and we were adopted by two loving mothers. Delaney was adopted a few months after to her two fathers. They took us all out and they gave us treats. That was something we never had in the orphanage." I smiled sadly at the photo.
"It's a cute photo." I whispered and Camren chuckled.
"It really is." He whispered back.
Suddenly there was a loud explosion and the room filled with smoke. I coughed and choked on the smoke. Someone grabbed my hand and then another person grabbed my other hand. The next thing I knew, I was running with everyone under the starry sky.
