Chapter 8: Heat and Glow

-Hannah's POV-

I had just about had enough of Sam treating me like shit for no reason. I have to find a way out of here and just leave. I never asked for their help and I won't accept it. Even if Dean almost made me want to believe him that I wasn't alone... it was all for nothing after what he said back there. It just made it even more clear that I am going to be nothing but an issue and burden towards them. I let a few tears fall from my eyes and stumbled back into the room I was put in. I shut the door and slunk down onto the floor.

   "Why the long face love?" someone called out.

I shot up and saw a strange looking man sitting on the bed. He looked to be in his early to mid fifties, had a short scruff of a beard, and was dressed quite nicely in an all black satin suit.

   "W-who the hell a-are you?" I asked trying to stand back up.

    "Funny you should mention Hell, as you are in the presence of its king" he stated showing himself off proudly.

"What do you mean? Isn't that supposed to be the Devil or Lucifer?" I asked very confused.

"It's a bit more complicated than that but I don't want to talk about him. I want to talk about you... and me" he said.

"What about me and you? Who and what are you?" I demanded trying to hide my fear.

"I my dear, am Crowley, the king and ruler of hell. And like all kings... they need a queen" he said standing up and began to slowly approach me.
It was at this time a knock came upon the door.

"Hannah... it's Dean. Can we please talk?" Dean called.
Crowley had a scared expression on his face.

"We'll continue this conversation at a later time. Until then, if you ever want to talk, just summon me" he whispered and then vanished.
Still startled at what just happened, I didn't even notice when Dean and Cas entered the room.

"Sorry we don't mean to barge in but Cas has something he would like to say" Dean said standing in the doorway.
I just nodded still trying to process the events that took place before they came in. Cas then stepped forward.

"I realize that my actions towards you before may have been rude and I wanted to apologize. And to show you how sorry I am, would you allow me to touch your forehead?" he asked I his monotone voice.

"You're not gonna probe or read my mind are you? What even are you?" I asked a bit skittish.

"I'm an angel of the Lord and heavens. And I am going to heal you of your injuries but just the physical ones" he explained.
I was hesitant on believing him but then I thought: if he heals me then that means I can get outta here quicker. I then nodded and Cas walked over to me.

He placed two finger onto my upper forehead and waited for something to happen. A few moments later I began to feel all tingly and almost kind of warm inside. It began at the soles of my feet and made its way up to my calves, thighs, and to my torso. There I could feel almost a slight burn near my shot wound. But this burning was more of a heatful like glow and never more in my life had I felt so warm and welcomed. It felt like my body was being reborn on the inside (at least physically). I wanted to stay in this moment forever. And the second I thought about that, the warm glowing vanished. Almost as if it had never happened.

"There, you should be fine now" Cas said walking over beside Dean.

   "T-thank you" I said awkwardly.
Cas then walked out of the room leaving Dean and I alone. I had nothing to say to him and now that I was healed, I could leave.

   "Don't bother to try and convince me to stay or apologize Dean. I'm magically healed and will be on my way" I said with bitterness.

   "I totally understand, but something's come up and... you have to stay here. I'm afraid that's non-negotiable" he explained.

   "Well I don't give a shit. It's my life and I can do as I please" I retorted.

"It's more than just you're life now! Cas told us that you are a potential threat to people. And my job is to protect people! I'm sorry but I can't take that risk" Dean said trying to reason with me.

"Well what about me? Who's gonna protect me? I've been on my own for so long now and I've had no one!" I yelled now in tears.

"You have me now" he said walking over to me.
Then without hesitation, he embraced me in his arms and hugged me. I didn't know what to do or say. I think I may have even tried to pull away.

"I'll hug you until I get a real and genuine hug back from you" he said you whispered with his head on my right shoulder.
It was in this moment that I felt something I hadn't felt in so long. Almost like what I felt when Cas healed me earlier. Only this heat and glow was much stronger and much warmer. And I loved it even more. I let a few more tears go before I hugged Dean back. I had never felt so vulnerable and yet so accepted at the same time. I want to stay like this forever... with him.
