Catch up here ( Masterlist ) :D

Anyway, I hope you'll like this chapter! Enjoy! <3

As soon as they get home, Castiel lets the heavy bags fall from his shoulders to the ground. Everything is surprisingly empty. The other coven members must be at the meeting that Ellen wanted to do. Well, good for us. "We're back! Finally!" he sighs, sitting down. "Yeah, we are," Jo chuckles, picking some of the bags up again, "But this doesn't mean that I want to clean the floor up here just because you decided to throw this stuff onto it. The bags could be ripped, idiot." The other makes a pout, but helps her. They carry the bags into the kitchen and leave them on the table. "My mother will find them there, anyway. I don't want to search for her any longer," Jo mutters, rolling her eyes. In her fist she holds one special crystal she bought at the shop earlier in town. Her eyes are shining with excitement as she says: "I'll just put this little cutie to the others, and then we can start with our 'serious investigation'" With the last words, her smile fades a little, and she rolls her eyes. Again. Jo's room in the last one in the big hallway and it's right next to Cas'. When they were little, they used to sneak into each other's rooms at night, where they could tell spooky ghost stories or do funny things like making feathers floating around. Today, Cas' room is stuffed with plants, and Jo...Jo's room is filled with...literally everything. She still discovers her path, and loves to try new things. Her desk is covered in crystals and tatort cards. There are candles anywhere, and relaxing music is coming out of an old radio that is placed on a shelf. "I still don't get why you need to play this music all day," Castiel mutters, throwing himself onto her big, fluffy bed. The smell of herbs, smoke and salt is filling every inch of the room. It smells like heaven. "My crystals like it. The plants too, I guess," she answers with a shrug, placing her new 'baby' near a burning candle on a shelf. Yeah. Jo is this kind of person that is irresponsible enough to let a candle burn, even if she's not around. One day the whole house will be in flames...and she won't even care. "What do you want to use that stone for?" Cas asks, blinking. Jo smiles, devilish. "Trust me. You don't want to know that," she hums. "Okay. As long as I'm not the one who has to suffer because of your...experiments, you can do whatever you want. Just...keep me out of it!" he laughs, covering his face with his hands. "I promise that it won't be you. Not this time..." she grins, blinking with her long lashes. After a heartbeat of silence they both burst out laughing. Cas throws a pillow at her. She screams, and runs out of the room. "Hey! Come back here!" he shouts, getting to his feet, following her, fastly. Then he hesitates. She is standing in the middle of the empty hallway, silently. "Jo?" Cas chuckles, grabbing her arm, "Jo? Are you alright?" She nods, swallowing. "Sure...I just...thought that I felt something. It doesn't matter, though," she adds with a quick gesture as if she wants to wipe everything bad away, "Let's take a look at the other witche's rooms like mom told us to. We could start from the right and move - " "Hey, wait. Wouldn't it be better if we split up? Then we could be much faster, I think," Cas suggests, helpfully. Jo turns around, raising an eyebrow. At first, he's afraid that she'll contradict, but she just says: "That's an amazing idea, Sir. Keep up the great work!" Castiel chuckles, relaxing in relief. "Let's say that I'll take the door on the right, and you on the left...then you can head downstairs and I'll go upstairs. Fine?" "Sure," she answers, grinning, "Let's see who will be faster."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After two hours of searching, Cas feels more than just a little exhausted. He forgot how damn big this house is... His energy is drained from all the foreign influences of objects and other things that he found in the rooms. Nothing suspicious, though. Well, except...there were some dark orbs of energy floating around, but every time Cas tried to get close, they flew out of reach or disappeared. Jo reported to notice these things too...they're quite creepy, and could mean literally anything. As he walks up the stairs, the young man can't help but worry. He's pretty sure now, that Ellen was right. There is something going on. Something big. Maybe something bad. As Castiel reaches the next floor, he breathes in, deeply. He closes his eyes for a moment to prepare himself. Then he does something that Jo and he were taught from their childhood on. Their own, unique way to talk over distances: telepathy.

Jo? Are you there? Where are you?

Sure, she answers right away, I'm currently on the floor below ours, looking through some old books in Benny's room. Wow, he really loves reading, man. They're...heavy...

Did you notice anything weird? Any more orbs? the other asks, entering the first room on the next floor. It's the one of a young witch, who is called Natalie, and it's filled with different types and tools of plant and grey magic.

Yeah, Jo answers, They're everywhere. Just floating around. At the moment, they don't seem dangerous, but I'm sure that this could change any second. Don't know what to do, though.

Cas quickly looks over some notes that are lying on Natalie's working table, then his gaze lands on a strange object that is placed near her bed. He steps closer, carefully. He can feel the thing vibrating...very, very low. It looks just like the others that he noticed in other rooms before, pitch black and round...like a small ball made of darkness. Jo? he calls, panicking. And holy shit, this one is big. Almost as big as his head.

Jo!

CAS!

Her voice is nothing but a scream in pure panic. It rings in his head like a terrible alarm, making his blood run cold within a second.

JO?! JO! I -

And that's when he loses the ability to breathe. He inhales in desperation, his hands going to his throat. But he can't, there is no air coming into his lungs, just...deep, dark nothing. "Wha - " he rasps as he falls to the ground, shaking. He tries to remember something, a protection spell or a chant, but his mind is a blank space, and he has no chance.

I...help…

Then everything fades to black.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first thing Castiel notices when he begins to be conscious again, is that his throat hurts, badly. It feels like someone slit his throat, just to patch him up after. What a strange thought... His eyes flow open, and he moans: "Jo...? What - " "Shush! Shut up! I'm trying to think!" she hisses, making him wince. He sits up, slowly, rubbing his eyes with his hands, carefully. He touches his throat just to notice that nobody has sliced it or something like that... Good to know. "Jo, where are we? What happened?" he rasps, looking around in confusion. Then he hesitates. No. Nonononono. This can't be! They're in a room in the basement of the house. A room with no windows. Nothing but darkness is crawling over the ground, and it's almost impossible to see something in it. Cas shivers, and his heart starts to race. Fear is crawling up his spine like a viper, growing bigger and bigger... "JO!" he shouts, just to get hit on the head. "Ouch!" he cries out, covering the aching spot with his hands. "I told you to shut up, Cas!"Jo hisses again. Now he can finally see her sitting in front of him, nothing but a shadowy silhouette. "No! We - " he begins, but gets interrupted by her harsh words: "We're trapped, okay? They knocked us out, threw us into this hole and locked the fucking door. I can't do anything about it, my magic is too weak to crash the metal. Or the stone. That's it, Cas." "Who, they?" the other whispers, even though he already knows the answer. Don't say it, don't say it, don't - But she does: "The other witches. Our coven. The ones, who practiced black magic behind our back, claimed the command. And we can't do anything about it. It...it just makes me so damn angry! I'm sorry, Cas, but - " And as if she called for it, the door opens with a creak, showing three big silhouettes that are standing at the step. "Castiel? Joanna? We don't want to hurt you. Please, follow us," a familiar voice says, making Cas' heart ache. Benny. "What did you do to my mother?" Jo shouts, standing up. She turns her wrist with a fast gesture, and one of the witches on the other side of the step screams and falls to the ground. It's a woman. Natalie. Why...? "She's...she's burning my insides! Stop it!" she cries out in pain, while Jo grabs Cas' arm and runs right through the open door. The actually manage to pass the other two witches, which Cas sends to the ground with a small 'tripping' spell, but they don't make it very far. After a couple of meters, it feels like his legs are cut of, brutally. Castiel can't help bit scream as he falls to the ground. He tastes blood on his lips as his head hits the hard surface, and he can hear Jo cursing next to him, loudly. "Well," Natalie hums in the distance, laughing, "Obviously, they want to do it they hard way..."
