Description
When you come to, the sun is gone and the steady beeping of Cas's heart monitor is still going. You glance behind you and notice the door is shut. Dean must have closed it after you had fallen asleep. There's a full glass of water on the night stand and you chug it down. You figure Cas won't need it since he's in a coma and all. A light is on in the room, casting shadows, and it makes Cas look as if he's sleeping peacefully, like any other time.
A knock sounds on the door and a nurse pokes her head in. She smiles gently. "Are you alright?"
You nod, but inside your heart is slowly being crushed to pieces.
"Alright then," she comes into the room, checking Cas's IV. "You know," she glances at you carefully. "I'm sure he'll wake up. Is he your husband?"
You shake your head, pulling your dressing robe tighter. "Boyfriend."
She nods, moving to the opposite side of his bed. "He's very handsome," she smiles fondly, patting his blankets down.
You look over to Cas. "He is."
The nurse laughs lightly, sending shivers down your spine. "Too bad about the scarring." You look up sharply. The nurse holds a knife in her hand, grinning horribly. You gasp. She raises the knife, ready to plunge it into Cas's chest. Perhaps through adrenaline, but mostly fear, you find the strength to stand, reaching over the bed to push her away. She stumbles, not expecting it. You fall onto Cas. The nurse stands up quickly, raising the knife again and you start screaming. Dean rushes into the room and the nurse turns and, casting one last glance at Cas, jumps out the window.
You bury your face in Cas's side, breath hitching in fear. Dean hurries to the window, looking down. There's nothing but broken shards of glass. He swears loudly, turning to you.
"(y/n)? What happened?"
You shake your head. "They're coming."
"Who is? Why?" Dean demands.
You meet Dean's eyes tearfully. "To finish the job."
