Dean! Dean! Dean!

The Shadow was the King of The Empty. They wanted the nothing and darkness of The Empty, but most of all they wanted sleep. There was nothing like the nothingness of sleep.

Dean! Dean! Dean!

They had not been able to sleep for so long and it was all because of that idiotic angel Castiel. Unlike every other angel and demon in existence, he refused to sleep and his loud never ending thoughts were so very annoying. The thoughts drilled into The Shadow’s brain and sat there.

Dean! Dean! Dean!

They had thought that once Castiel found happiness he would sleep… but no, his thoughts were no longer blinding colors and shapes but about Dean.

Dean! Dean! Dean!

Suddenly a bright golden light pierced through the darkness and The Shadow took a vaguely human shape as the God Jack looked at them with sad eyes.

Dean! Dean!… Jack?

‘I’m here for Cas,’ Jack said.

‘Oh really? I suppose you think you can just walk out of here with Castiel?’ The Shadow asked even though they knew the answer.

Jack. Jack. Jack.

‘Um… yes,’ Jack said looking confused.

‘I see. Well, I won’t give you to him for free. You will owe me a favor and someday I’ll come to collect,’ The Shadow said. Even though they desperately wanted to get rid of Castiel and would never actually collect the favor, it wouldn’t do to let the baby God know that.

Jack. Jack… Dean.

‘Okay. That seems fair I just want my dad back.’

‘Fine,’ The Shadow said as it pulled Castiel out of The Empty and tossed him at Jack. Jack wrapped his arms around Castiel and left.



The Shadow was surrounded by nothing and silence. They wanted to sleep… and that is exactly what they did.
