"You are nothing if not hopeful."

••

One moment I'm looking up at the crazed expression splayed on the facade of Castiel and the next moment I'm in a motel room, familiar it seemed, but then again they all did have the same ambience about them.

I glanced around, a soft breeze blew through the room and I was placed on the bed...

Perhaps he did decide to let me go, my mind argued, I didn't exactly have anything of use to him.. I have no idea what could be of use to a being like that, but I'm pretty sure its not me.

A dull ache reverberated in my skull, causing a frown to form on my forehead as I took a seating position, not really knowing why I did that and then everything came crashing down around me, a memory playing out in front of me with me as the main character, knowing what will happen mere seconds before it did while an excruciating pain snapped against my skull, the image kept flashing between the entity with Castiel's hand still laced on my forehead and the memory.

I didn't know what the memory was until it happened but I knew it wasn't good, I could feel the fear, my whole body stuck in the motions while I was constantly being snapped back to the empty where I was screaming on my knees but even that version of me, I couldn't control.

I was standing in the middle of the room when it happened, the blood of my vessel stained to walls in symbols and they still found me, who they were, I was unsure. Some looked familiar while others I could summon a name.

"Naomi." My lips moved in sync with the memory.

I could barely comprehend the words from her lips as I was snapped back to the empty, my vision seemed faded as I looked up at the image of Castiel.

"Stop fighting it." I heard but I'm unsure if it was the entity or the woman named Naomi who said it as I found myself back in the room, still sporting the killer headache.

"I could never." My lips moved again.

Four be is stood before me, three with angel blades and that's when I knew, within three seconds, I would be dead.. Or more accurately.. Dying.. It took a little longer than that for my body to finally give out.

The blade penetrating my being suddenly felt more painful than I remember, though I just remembered it 5 seconds ago. My head also felt like it was about to explode until it didn't anymore, the image faded.. Taking me to the calming darkness of the empty.

I was breathing heavy though I didn't exactly need to breath at all and logic stands to reason that my vessel should have died as well.

I blinked a few times, the pain in my head had slowed to a dull throb. I notice I'm in a laying position, with the entity looking down at me. His eyes were narrowed as Castiel's finger tapped rhythmically against his lips.

I wanted to say something, but what could I say? Thanks for making me relive my death, thanks for trying to kill me with a headache? No, instead I just stared into those familiar blue eyes that held no relation to Castiel's.

"Interesting." He muttered, walking around my body, his eyes not leaving mine.

Finally, I decided to open my mouth after a few moments of silence. "What is?"

"Hope." He said and stopped abruptly. "There's nothing there." He stated with the clench of his jaw. "You shouldn't be awake." His voice rose again as he spoke. "I don't understand, nothing has power here, except me."

Suddenly he crouched down and stared intensely into my eyes, making me want to back away but instead I dared not move.

"How are you doing this, mhmm?" He asked, with a poke to my forehead. "What do you stand to gain?"

I abruptly moved away from him, taking a standing position, the ache in my head seemed to have lifted as well. "I don't know what you're talking about." I stated, more confidently than I felt. "Why does me being awake bother you anyway, you could just go.. Do whatever it is you do without me."

His jaw clenched as he spoke. "You are awake. Which means I am awake and I very much like sleep, I need sleep."

"Then send me back?" I said, not really sure if I want to go back to all the pain and suffering but what else should I do, I could just stay awake in the empty with this entity growing more and more frustrated with every passing second.

"That's not what you want." He stated simply. "But even so, you go.. How do I know another won't awaken. And another.. Another. That would throw of the balance of things, then I would not be able to sleep anyway. No. You are staying until I find a way to make you sleep."
