Before

17-year-old Castiel Novak escaped a life of abuse carrying with him nothing more than a few possessions and the clothes on his back. He did everything possible to keep his family off his trail as he hitchhiked with strangers, walk long roads and starved himself in order to find Gabriel Novak. The only member of his family he knew could protect him.

In Lawrence, Kansas he found his brother living alone but also discovered Chuck Shurley the first student to speak to him directly on his first day. Dean Winchester the man he soon fell in love with. Being in love was not on his list of things to do with his new life in Lawrence, but Fate played her part and Castiel and Dean soon found each other. Resulting in Castiel opening up to Dean about his dark past but not without others digging into his past without his knowledge.

Now

-From Dean

Cas you could've told me you were going away, come see me when you're back in Lawrence.

-From Cas

I will.

Castiel snapped his phone shut as he replied back to Dean's message. Gabriel had said bluntly that he needed the piece of mind that he could get hold of his little brother at any time. "I am not fond of your latent paranoia Gabriel." Castiel muttered as he saw his older brother watching him out the corner of his eye as they drove down the dark road. "Better safe than sorry Cas." He could tell his older brother was worried especially if it involved their family. "I just need the peace of mind nothing is going to happen to you." Castiel wanted to snort but he rethought the action. "Nothing is going to happen Gabriel, they probably have no idea we have left." Castiel just wished he could believe his words because he was worried as well.

They drove in silence Gabriel's fingers tapping nervously on the steering wheel and Castiel mimicking the movements on his lap. "Gabriel… what are we going to do if they find us?" Gabriel turned off the road sharply and cutting the engine off in the same motion. "Cas, listen to me. I'll be honest I'm worried okay but we're not going anywhere."

Deep down Castiel wished he could believe his brother but his gut said otherwise, he bit him lip nodding his head silently. He felt the weight of his brother's gaze on him, as he turned to look out the window focusing on anything than his gut instinct.

-To Dean

Back in Lawrence, I will come by once I have been to Church.

As soon as they arrived back in Lawrence, Castiel asked to be dropped off in town so he could go to Church for a couple hours. Gabriel needed no explanation but agreed unwillingly, he of course only asked that Castiel keep his phone close and ring if anything seemed out of the ordinary. Yet Lawrence seemed unchanged it was peaceful. Or was it. Castiel stood in the unusually quietness of the small town area.

He walked towards the Church weary of his surroundings he had hoped for peace to his nerve but just sitting there made him nervous. He leaned forward his forehead touching the bench in front as he prayed quickly over and over.

God,

I pray for you not to let him find me. Please. I ask only this.

His eyes closed tightly the thought replaying continuously in his mind in the hopes his words would reach Him. "Well Castiel. Michael and Raphael spoke the truth, you are looking well." Castiel gasped, the sound echoing in the silent Church. Castiel head shot up and he pushed himself back away from the voice. "What are you doing here?" his blue eyes reflected internal fear as his Father sat down casually on the same bench. "I am doing something your brothers seem incapable of doing." He picked up the small bible flicking through it quickly before returning his eyes back on Castiel. "You are coming back to Pontiac." Castel's throat tightened painfully as he tried to muster up his courage. "No, I am not Father."

The dangerous flash he never forgot reflected in his Father's eyes. "Don't argue with me Castiel. Now Raphael tells me you have a… boyfriend?" the words slipped off his Father's tongue distastefully. "It seems I was correct in my thoughts of you." Castiel flinched. "It's disgusting to even consider my offspring participating in such kind of activities." Castiel's nails dug into the wood painfully as he tried his best to think of an escape route. "Thinking about running? Michael and Raphael are at the entrance. Now come along let's not waste anymore time." His Father stood up when Castiel refused to move. "Castiel if you do not return with me, I will make sure your precious Dean Winchester can never be safe even in his own home." He stomach dropped at his father's knowledge of Dean. "Because I know everything I need to know about him. Now move yourself Castiel and leave that phone behind."

A/N: So this fanfic is the second half of 'Where you Belong' I'm thinking it'll be around 20 chapters at least but who knows really. I'm definitely going to try and avoid the 40 chapter mark since it might kill me and I'll just turn into a puddle of oozing ooz!
