Millie Winchester - Castiel

Chapter twenty two

Five weeks after Millie was rescued from Hell, she woke up. Her room was dark, and her body was sore from laying still for so long. She quietly got out of bed and stretched out her body, cracking up her joints and softening up her muscles. The girl did a fast overlook on her body, seeing if she had any big wounds or bruises anywhere, but her body was completely healed. She smiled at the thought of Castiel healing her.

After checking on her brothers and Bobby, who were all sound asleep, she made her way downstairs, making as little noise as possible, not wanting to wake the others. When the clock was around 6 in the morning, she decided to start making some breakfast for the others, hoping it would start their day of good.

Millie had no idea how long she had been unconscious for, for her, it felt like no more than a normal night. Even though the night had been haunted with terrible memories she couldn't remember experiencing. It was like a bad fever dream. Of course, she remembered everything that happened to her in Hell and if she did remember correctly, Castiel had killed Pan and rescued her alongside her brothers and Carson.

"What the hell?" Dean spoke up from the bottom of the stairs as he looked at Millie.

"Oh, hi Dean, I didn't hear you come down, I made breakfast".

Dean walked over to his sister and eloped her in a bone crushing hug. Millie stood still for a moment before giving in to the hug. Dean looked Millie over just as she had done when she woke up, seeing if she was hurt in any way. Dean called out for Sam and Bobby before calling Castiel, telling them Millie was awake. Sam and Bobby emerged from the upstairs before both of them gave Millie a big hug.

Castiel showed up and eyed Millie with careful eyes before walking over to her and giving her a hug. The hug from Castiel surprised everyone, they weren't used to seeing Castiel show much emotions but now he had a relieved look upon his face, happy Millie was awake and seemingly ok.

"When did you wake up?" Castiel spoke as he pulled out of the hug.

"Eh, I don't know, around 4 in the morning"

"And you didn't tell us?" Sam spoke up now, still not believing Millie was awake after all this time.

"What's the big deal? Why would I wake you up so early in the morning just because I woke up?"

Dean looked at his sister with a puzzled look, "Millie, how long ago do you think it is we saved you from Hell?"

"Yesterday".

"Oh man... yeah no, you've been asleep for five weeks, Millie"

"What?"

"Yeah, its five weeks since we saved you"

"How is that possible? How didn't I wake up when Castiel healed me? I'm guessing I have you to thank for my all healed up body" Millie smiled over at Castiel.

"Yes, but my healing didn't wake you up. I don't know why I couldn't wake you".

"Millie, how do you feel?" Sam spoke in a soft voice, afraid of how to ask without pitying his sister.

"I feel fine" it was a lie.

"Don't mess with us, you spent a long time in Hell with that bitch" Dean wasn't afraid like Sam, Dean didn't like his sister hurting but he wasn't going to sugar coat his emotions around her shenanigans.

"Ok... eh... the physical torture wasn't that bad, I've had worse... but she... she messed with my mind. I don't know which of my memories are real or not..." Millie looked at her brothers, trying to navigate through her memories but only finding bad ones form her childhood. She knew her new memories weren't real, but they felt like the truth.

The five of them, Bobby, Sam, Dean, Castiel and Millie was sitting around in Bobby's living room. The boys were catching Millie up on everything that had happened in the time she had been unconscious, and they had ordered pizza. Millie had called Carson to tell her she was awake, and she was doing ok, telling him to stay in hiding and that they meet soon enough. After he had helped kill Pan, he wasn't really popular in Hell, many of Pan's followers were after him, wanting revenge.

Castiel had gotten a few calls though angel radio but he didn't want to leave. He wanted to be here with the others, finally having Millie back. He felt guilty for her time in Hell and for not telling her about Sam being back.

"Millie, can I talk to you... outside?" Castiel stood close to Millie as he asked, she nodded, and the duo want outside.

"What's up, Cas?"

"I wanted to apologize" Castiel started, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Sam and I'm sorry for not being there for you when you went down in Hell".

Millie turned to face Castiel, five inches between their faces. Millie smiled at the angel, "Castiel, I forgive you for not telling me about Sam, ok? And I do not want you blaming yourself for my time in Hell, that was my decision, and I knew the consequences of going. So, promise me, no blaming yourself, ok?"

"Ok" Castiel smiled at the girl, after being through so much, she was still so graceful and kind. However, something was bugging Castiel, ever since he came to Bobby's this morning and saw Millie, something was different. Castiel could see something new in her, that weren't there before she went to Hell. And he was terrified that Pan had succeeded.
