The door to the intensive care opened by itself and an instant later it closed again. Balthazar became visible and stepped slowly to the постель, кровати Cas was lying in. There was a bandage around his head, and some kind of masker around his nose and mouth, attached to a ventilation device.
“I am so sorry, Castiel” Balthazar whispered as he lay his hand on the machine. “But I have no choice”
“What are Ты doing?” Anna asked sharp. Without turning around Balthazar mumbled: “Please, leave, Anna. I have to do this. Crowley will kill me if I don’t”
Anna walked to him with fierce steps. “If Ты kill Cas, I will kill you” she threatened trembling, yet determined.
This time Balthazar turned to the ginger angel. “You wouldn’t. Ты can’t kill me. There are too little of us left. Ты need me” he said, trying to call her bluff.
“I am much better off alone than to have a traitor by my side” Anna replied bitter. She took a deep breath and made another few steps closer to Balthazar. “If Ты stay in Heaven Ты will be protected from any demon”
“Then what? Stay hidden forever? Ты can’t kill Crowley” Balthazar snapped. “I don’t want to be on the run forever”
“Kill Cas and Ты will be” Anna responded furious. “And Ты won’t be able to hide from me”
“I’ll take my chances” Balthazar replied and he turned around. He turned the machines off and as Anna screamed “No!” he vanished.
