Tormented soul
Remember the story of The Beauty and the Beast? Not the Disney version, but the old fairy tale, where the kind prince was turned into a hideous beast da an evil fairy (sound familiar?). The beast was so ashamed of his life and what he’d become that he shut himself off from the outside world, hoping beyond hope that one giorno someone would look past his evil appearance and see the goodness underneath.
I leave it to te to decide which Supernatural characters are paralleled in Beauty and the Beast. My point is that Sam and the beast are really quite similar, though reversed, in a way. Sam’s problem is not physical- not da a longshot! Instead, he has a very deep, dark center that shows itself in almost everything he does, and some people have trouble seeing past it to find the good person underneath.
Sam is a fairy tale character. te don’t find guys like him in real life. Sam’s had a hard life, and he’s been hurt da almost everyone he’s ever cared about, and he used it to help him understand other people’s pain. People who’ve suffered a lifetime of such pain and loneliness usually become abusive, sometimes violent. Sam, however, reached a level of sensitivity and caring that most people in his position don’t reach until after years of good therapy.
Sam is a fascinating collection of contrasts. He’s selfish and he’s sweet and he’s angry and he’s caring and he’s proud and he’s protective- for every bad trait, he has a good trait that shows itself even more. He’s not perfect. He’s nowhere near perfect. But think of it like this- if he was perfect, how much più of a fairy tale would that be?
Full of pain
Meg was browsing through the pages of Daphne’s book, hoping to find something that could prove Cas’ innocence. While she read she listened carefully to hear if Zoey was on her back yet.
Maybe everyone was awake again. After all, the building was full of staff. Meg wasn’t in prison, she was being held custody, until someone told her how long she’d be convicted.
So it was very assumable Zoey had been caught and thrown out. o maybe she’s been arrested for trying to help Meg escape.
“Hello?!” Meg shouted to be sure.
No respond.
“Is anyone there?” Meg yelled.
Again no answer.
“Zoey!” Meg yelled again.
Complete silence.
“Okay, stay calm” Meg told herself. “Zoey’s just very confused and upset about the trial. She can only think about Alexia, so she forgot about me”
The other theory was that Zoey got killed, because she tried to help Cas.

The successivo morning.
Cas was sitting in the court room. The judge had sat down and ordered everyone to follow his example.
“The defendant may stand up”
Craig poked Cas to let him know he had to stand up.
“Castiel, you’ve been accused of pedophilia of the four anno old Alexia Moore” the judge said.
“I didn’t do it” Cas detto desperate. He searched the room to find Sam and Dean. They were in the back. Jo wasn’t there. Cas didn’t blame her. They didn’t know each other that well.
“There’s enough damning material to believe the opposite” Daphne’s attorney said.
That commento caused mixed reactions. On one side there were those people who believed Cas was guilty as charged and who wanted him convicted. On the other side there were those who thought he was innocent and they were not pleased with the words of the attorney.
“Silence” the judge detto and he knocked with his hammer.
“Your honor, if te allow me, I’d like to summon my first witness”

The successivo morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? te almost gave mommy a cuore attack” Zoey detto and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia detto breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the Televisione and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four anno old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey detto trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia detto confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

The waitress walked through the back door. She was taking a break. She felt two eyes on her and looked aside.
Cas was staring at her.
“Hi” she said. She walked to him. “You were recitazione strange earlier”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled. “You remind me of someone”
“Your girlfriend?” the waitress guessed.
Cas shook his head. “She wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my…”
“Sex buddy” the waitress helped. “I’m Lucy”
“I’m Cas” Cas said.
“Cas?” Lucy detto intrigued. “That’s an uncommon name” She came closer to him and took his collar. She dragged him into one of the toilets and locked the door. She threw her arms around his neck and jumped in his arms. She kissed him and Cas forced her against the wall.
“Aaaahhh!” she exclaimed. She pushed Cas away and looked at him terrified.
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled concerned.
“It’s okay” Lucy said, but Cas unlocked the door and ran away.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single letto and put him down. She gently pushed him down and he opened his eyes a little. She walked to the bathroom and dampened a towel.
She walked back into the room and sank down on the bed. Unlike Meg’s Cas’ clothes hadn’t been restored. Meg opened the ruined and bloodstained hospital camicia and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he detto weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg detto absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas detto with a weak smile.
Meg continued nursing his injuries. “You know” she said. “If I was still human, I’d fall for you”
Cas gave her another weak smile, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The successivo morning
Cas opened the door of the house and helped Daphne inside. He guided her to the sitting room and put her gently down on the couch.
“You know, I’ve been thinking” Daphne said. “With te around I don’t need a car. Makes things a lot cheaper”
“Can I get te something?” Cas asked.
Daphne shook her head. “You’re here. That’s enough for now”
Cas wasn’t used to that much gratitude and he’d have to adjust to it.
“Actually” Daphne started. “Could te give me the phone? I need to call the locksmith to tell him I won’t be needing his services after all. I gave Zoey her key back”
Cas smiled weak. “I’m glad te made it up with each other”
