It was close to midnight and Zoey had buried Daphne’s body in the garden. She hadn’t meant to shoot Dean Winchester, but if he was dead, all the better for her. The less people that were in her and Cas’ way, the better.
Of course it would take Cas some time to forgive her, but their amor would survive it. She hadn’t want to kill her sister, either, but there simply was no other way. Zoey was certain that wherever Daphne was now, she would understand. Daphne was at piece. She was with Martin, the most important person in her life.
And Zoey would be with Cas and then they would raise Alexia together. It was perfect.
Zoey jumped up from her thoughts when someone banged the door. She got up from her chair and walked to the front door and opened it.
She gazed surprised in Cas’ eyes, before she covered her mouth. Then she threw her arms around his neck. “I knew you’d come. I knew you’d the make the right call” she sobbed from happiness. She turned around and Cas followed her inside the kitchen.
“You want some coffee? Or maybe something stronger?” she offered.
“Dean is dead” Cas said numb.
“Something stronger it is” Zoey said and she pulled out two glasses and a bottle of Scotch. As she poured the glasses and handed one to Cas, she said: “I didn’t mean to kill your friend, Cas. My parents can take care of the funeral. I promise you it will be beautiful”
Cas squeezed the glass until it shattered and blood dripped on the table.
“Oh my God, are you okay?” Zoey gasped and she took his hand. There was no cut. “You’re healing quicker”
Cas grabbed Zoey’s hand and looked up, fury burning in his eyes. “You killed Dean” he said with a voice so cold Zoey shivered. She tried to jerk her hand, but Cas tightened his grip.
“Cas, I know you’re in pain, but let me go” Zoey said trembling. Cas looked into Zoey’s eyes as his grip tightened even more. Zoey gasped and tears rolled over her face. “Please, stop. You’re hurting me” she sobbed. She screamed when she felt the bones in her hand break.
Cas grabbed her hair and pulled her to the mirror. Zoey looked down, but Cas jerked her hair and forced her to look up.
“Look how cute we look together” he snapped. Zoey mumbled something in fear. “What did you say? You want a closer look? Your wish is my command” He smashed Zoey’s face into the mirror and dropped her on the ground. She crawled away, trying to reach the back door, when Cas grabbed her feet and dragged her back inside and turned her on her back.
He kneeled seguinte to her and forced his fist into her stomach. Zoey gasped and blood spilled from her mouth. “See how you like it” Cas said trembling. He removed his bloodstained hand and bent over to her face. “That’s for all the crap you did to me” He grabbed Zoey’s neck and snapped it. “And that’s for killing my best friend”
He dropped the head, which landed hard on the floor, and stood up. He wanted to leave, when he heard a door close.
