Through the Rabbit Hole (Castiel)

[alice]

Alice Hamilton was in Wonderland the last thing she remembered. She was inside the Queen of Heart’s casino. Why she was there in the middle of the enemy’s territory? She was trying to save Hatter. She was captured with Jack Heart, the Queen’s son who is working with the resistance. Alice was being led to the looking glass to be banished from Wonderland before she escaped from them and tried to return to Hatter to free her friends.

She wasn’t there anymore though. Alice had gone through a door and then she remembered darkness. She had just woken up in a field, something that she wasn’t expecting at all. She wondered if she was still in Wonderland but she bet that she wasn’t. She was worried. The young brunette girl had developed feelings for Hatter, something she would never admit to anyone. Alice stood up in the field and she looked around. She had to start moving. She didn’t know if she was followed, if the March Hare was here or the Queen herself.

Alice started to run. She was wearing her blue dress and her brown boots with red tights. She also had on the maroon jacket that Hatter had given her to hide the burn mark from the light that marked her as an oyster. Alice had pulled the sleeve up and saw that the mark was gone.

“Okay, that’s weird.” Alice said to herself as she stared at her arm. She put the sleeve back down and she started walking. Her walking had escalated into a run and she continued to run.

Alice had stopped when she reached the entrance to a town. She looked around to see if she saw a sign that had the name to the town. There it was, she saw it. Aldeon was the name of the place. Alice wondered if this was part of Wonderland. She let out a sigh and turned to see where she had come from and wondered if she should go back.

The angel had been out in the forest for hours now trying to get himself back to his own time, back to the Winchester brothers and back to stop the apocalypse from happening. He had been standing among the trees, using everything in him to try and get back to where he had been, closing his eyes and forcing his mind to concentrate on the field in which the final battle would take place at. No matter how hard he concentrated or how hard he struggled with his own limits, Castiel was unable to go anywhere but a few feet in a different direction in the forest. He was feeling rather human at this moment, and was wondering if that was a part of his punishment, seeing as he was starting to develop feelings for the Winchester boys in a way that Heaven didn’t like.

Having drained most of his strength in trying to perform what used to be a simple task, Castiel was now sweating as he started to walk back to the town, having given up on transporting at the moment. He was rushing through his thoughts, trying to grasp what was happening to him. Was he becoming human? Was that his punishment, to completely be cut off from Heaven for the rest of his life? Had he fallen from grace when he turned his back on his own kind to save Dean and Sam from what would be certain death?

Pushing a hand through his slightly sweaty hair, the angel made his way out of the forest as he started for the town, giving into more hope that he’ll finally find someone that would help him find or give him a way back, a way to stop what was going to happen. His mind was only on those few things as he didn’t care for much else, only caring for the brothers and to stop the archangels from fighting.

Spotting the entrance to the town shortly after leaving the forest, Castiel sighed lightly as he wondered how long he would be here till he could finally return and how long he would have to spend with these humans that he knew nothing about. His arms swung next to him as he walked across the open field, held tilted slightly to the side as he spotted a woman at the entrance, dressed in clothes he would see from Dean and Sam’s home but not from here. He wondered what significance this had, why this woman, who was dressed so strangely, was doing in the same place he had been brought to.

”What is your name?,” his words were deep as he stood a few feet from her, his eyes narrowed as he waited for an answer, wondering if she was an angel he couldn’t recognize sent to do God’s bidding. Was this how he was going to be punished? Thrown to an unknown world, and then be visited by countless angels until he finally gave up and continued to follow Heaven’s orders like the obedient soldier he was?

Alice Hamilton still stood there at the entrance to the town, not knowing what to do. She needed to find Hatter to save him since he was taken captive too, and then they needed to save Jack who the Queen had sentenced to death. Alice let out a sigh. This was not what she had in mind, actually Wonderland wasn’t what she had in mind at all, ever. She just wanted to go home, and now that she had found her father as well she wanted to take him with her so that they could be a happy family again.

Alice had the ring on her finger. She remembered that she had it taken from her but how did it get back on? it was the stone of Wonderland, something everyone was obsessed over and Hatter seemed to be the only person, well some of the time, who wasn’t wanting to kill her for it. She knew he wouldn’t though, not after trying to save her life over and over again and keeping her safe just like Charlie is.

Alice then turned to see a man who had asked her what her name is. He is tall, short hair, neatly dressed, like a business man in a trench coat. Alice raised an eyebrow at him. Was he being serious? Alice wondered if he was a suit working for the Queen of Hearts. She was afraid, just as she was from the start though she didn’t really show it.

“who are you?” Alice asked him, backing away, putting her right hand behind her back to hide the fact that she had the stone of Wonderland.

His eyes focused on the young woman’s face, trying to decipher just who she was and why she was here, seeing as how he figured this was to be his punishment from Heaven. His head tilted lightly to the side, searching out with his mind to see if he could pick up anything from her, his feet taking a few steps in her direction as he continued to gaze at her. It didn’t take him long to figure out she wasn’t an angel, seeing as how her mind was not responding the same way his did. Though he was still clueless as to who she was and he was going to figure it out, one way or another, seeing as she too was not from around here.

“Castiel.” His tone was deep as he responded to her, no longer breathless as he had exerted all his energy in trying to return himself to his own time. He wondered if his name would have any meaning on the woman, wondering if she was perhaps a demon and his ability to decipher that was simply off. He wasn’t sure what kind of powers he had in this world, knowing that he was no longer connected to Heaven. If most of his powers would not work here and demons were coming for him, Castiel would need to find some kind of weapon in order to protect him and fast.

“Who are you?” he questioned again, his eyes narrowing as he continued to step towards the woman, not wanting to waste any more time in finding out who and what she was. He was struggling with himself with what he should do in this town. He didn’t know if he should start questioning the townspeople to see if they are demons, or if he should continue to try and escape this world before it was too late.

[alice]

Alice Hamilton just stared at him. He had told her his name is Castiel and she knew that the suits don’t have names or so she assumed that they didn’t have names since they had numbers on their suits. Alice stared at him and he didn’t appear to have one so she assumed that he was okay. The young brunette black belt wasn’t going to let her guard down. If he did work for the Queen of Hearts, she could possibly ask him for Hatter’s location.

Alice looked at him raising an eyebrow. He introduced himself as Castiel and Alice got sort of confused. She knew that Castiel was a name of an angel, Alice couldn’t remember where she had heard that from, maybe her mother or something. “Castiel, like the angel Castiel?” Alice asked him curiously and sighed and shook her head. “yeah, I am still in Wonderland, where everyone is insane.” She said, looking a bit annoyed.

Alice looked at him oddly when he asked who she is. Okay, that was weird, if he was from Wonderland, he would know who she is. “I think you know who I am. It seems everyone does, you know Alice of Legend? That seems to be what everyone is calling me.” Alice said, referring to Charlie and all the others that reside in Wonderland.

Alice kept stepping back as he was stepping forward. She was still very uncomfortable with him talking to her. Alice was terrified still, afraid of what the future had in store for her. She wondered if she would ever get back home to her mother, with her father next to her, be reunited, a whole family again.

The angel wore a very blank look on his face as he stopped his walking and simply stared at the young woman, waiting for her to introduce herself to him. He now knew that she was human, but was still cautious and curious as to who she was. This could still be a punishment for the angel and he wasn’t about to let his guard down in which one of the other angels could strike when he was vulnerable, especially since he was still unsure of which of his powers were still intact and which was weren’t. If most of them had been lost to him when he was cut off from Heaven, he may only be able to do little of what he was really capable of, which would put him at a disadvantage to many of what wanted him dead or punished.

When she questioned him about who she was and mentioned some place called Wonderland, Castiel let one of his brows raise curiously as he tried to think through what she was saying. He had never heard of a place called Wonderland, and his vessel offered little help in figuring it all out. He vaguely remembered his vessel reading a book to his daughter about some place called Wonderland but couldn’t quite pinpoint it. ”Yes, I am the angel Castiel.” His deep voice held a hint of a questioning tone, as if she doubted who he was or if he even existed. His thoughts on the human race were skeptical, and he wondered if they all had lost faith in who created them and watched over them. He was curiously as to who they thought made them and protected them each and every day.

”No, I have not heard of you. I don’t know an Alice of Legend.” Castiel explained as his eyes focused on her face, wondering what she meant by that name. He was an angel of Heaven and knew nothing of an Alice of Legend. He was slowly realizing that he was dwindling on his powers and that his connection to Heaven was soon going to be completely severed. Frowning lightly at his realization, the angel narrowed his eyes as he dropped them to the ground beneath them and then towards the open area around them. He needed to find a way back and soon, or else he wasn’t sure what was going to happen to him.

Alice Hamilton looked at the man in front of her. He looked just as lost and confused as she was which was a bad think. Alice knew she had to find someone who knew his place, a local so that she could get answers as to where she is. Alice let out a small sigh. She really didn't feel as threatened next to him after he said that he is an angel.

Alice smiled a bit. "I have never met an angel before. It sort of strange. Shouldn't you be in Heaven or something?" Alice asked him curiously not knowing anything about Angels except they are powerful and live up in heaven. Alice was never the religious type either.

Alice looked at him when he began to talk again. He seemed distant, emotionless. Alice wondered if all angels were like that. It was something that she wasn't really used to. All the people, even in Wonderland expressed a lot of emotion but this guy was just standing there, expressionless. Alice looked at him curiously and watched him.

"thank god. I don't know if I could stand another person calling me that." Alice let out a small laugh. This was really awkward. Alice felt safe with the guy feeling that he wouldn't hurt her but it was just a bit uncomfortable since he didn't seem to be holding up the conversation.

"how do you do that? Remain so calm?" Alice asked him curiously.

[cas]

His eyes focused on her face, searching for something as he continued to stand before her, blank look still present on his vessel’s face. His mind was already racing, searching for a way for him to get back to the Winchester brothers. Finally shifting on his feet, the angel let a brow rise on his forehead as he listened to her words, ”We very rarely show ourselves to humans, but only when Heaven or Father declares that we do. I was sent on a mission to Earth to protect the brothers.” He spoke those words as if everyone was going to know what he was talking about, as if this happened almost every day.

Brows knitted together on his forehead as she thanked God and he wondered what his Father had done for her, but then remembered Dean having told him once that humans liked to do that whenever something went their way. Choosing to pass it off as another human quirk that he would never understand, Castiel continued to listen to the rest of what Alice was saying, his eyes focused on her face, ”It is just how we are, we don’t need to worry as much as you humans do.” He said as he tilted his head to the side lightly, remembering how strange it was to first take over one of his vessel’s bodies, the first time he was ambushed by the thoughts and feelings of the body he wore and how he was grateful that when he returned to Heaven he wouldn’t have to deal with those emotions any further.

[alice]

Alice looked at Castiel. Everything he said about how they rarely show themselves to humans but only when Heaven or their father declares it. He said that he was sent to earth to protect the brothers. What brothers? Alice looked at him and raised an eyebrow. Everything he said made sense to her about how they don’t leave heaven. “yeah, that makes sense. Otherwise angels would be all over Earth, wouldn’t they?” Alice asked him curiously.

The angel didn’t seem like a talkative type. She was curious and yet he was on another playing field. He was distracted. Alice then remembered that he mentioned something about brothers. Was he looking for them? Alice then looked around and then back to him. “brothers? You’re looking for them, aren’t you?” Alice asked him curiously.”what do they look like? Maybe I could help?” Alice then asked him curiously.

Alice then looked at him after she had asked her question. He had told her that it was just how they are and that they don’t need to worry as much as humans do. How lucky. She wondered if she could be like that but there was always so much going on that she always had to worry. She is worrying now about Hatter, and about how she was going to get back to Wonderland. He was captured just like she was and for all she knew, Hatter could be dead. “yeah, wish it was possible for me to do that, not worry about anything.” Alice laughed a little before shaking her head.

Focusing his complete attention on Alice, the angel cocked his head lightly to the side as he listened to her statement and question, a brow lightly rising. Regaining his composure, the angel nodded lightly before answering, ”It depends. Some Angels enjoy being amongst humans, others prefer to stay in Heaven.” He commented as he mind drifted to which he would prefer, and after spending so much time with the Winchesters, he was quite unsure about the question. He enjoyed the company of Dean and his brother, but Heaven was where he was meant to be, it was where he belonged.

This Alice human was quite interesting to the angel, how quick she was to offer her help to him without fully knowing who he was. Yes, he had explained that he was an angel, but he hadn’t offered any real evidence that he was. After spending time with Dean, he realized how different humans were from each other. Where Dean didn’t believe a single word he said when they first met, this Alice seemed so sure that Castiel was exactly who he was saying he was. Brushing it off as another human trait, Castiel focused back on the young woman, ”Yes, I am. The oldest, Dean, is my height with short, light brown hair. His brother is Sam, tall with long brown hair.” Castiel described the two brothers in the most general way he could, not much for detail as he rarely needed to know it.

Nodding to her question of helping him, Castiel knew that he would need to accept help especially if his connection to Heaven was feeling weak, meaning that most of his powers would not be working. As much as he looked like a human, Castiel was far from acting like a human and was not accustomed to many of the human traits, no matter how much time he had spent around Dean. Turning his attention onto Alice as she commented about the lack of worry from angels, though they had their own things to worry about, Castiel simply nodded his head with a light touch of a smile as she laughed before it fell from his lips.
