Watchful Eye

"With the angels?" I asked.
"Yes, that's correct,"
I sat down on the couch.
"So you're my-"
"Guardian angel,"
I was dumbfounded. Speechless. Shocked. He walked over and sat down beside me. He waited for me to find my words again.
"How come you've never came through before?" I asked.
"I didn't think you needed my help. But I couldn't stand by and watch Crowley kill you or take your soul,"
"But it would've been my choice of fate,"
"I know Cadence, but it's my duty to watch over you,"
"Are you friends with Castiel?"
"Yes, I know Cas very well,"
"Did he assign you to me?"
He slowly nodded.
"Kind of. I've been watching you for a long time. Making sure you were safe. He took notice,"
"But why? Why were you watching?"
He glared out the window and up at the sky. Frozen for a few moments.
"I gotta go," he said as he stood up.
"Wait, tell me why-" I started as I began to stand as well.
Then he was gone. Disappeared. I jumped up.
"CASTIEL" I yelled.
I waited a few more moments and then tried again.
"CASTIEL!"
"I'm right here Cadence" he said from behind me.
I turned around.
"You assigned me an angel?" I asked.
He sighed.
"Yes. He was already watching you. I just gave him permission to help. Intervene if need be and to keep you- and your soul- safe,"
"So backup"
"no-"
"Cas that's backup and you know I go solo,"
"That's a good way to get yourself killed, or worse. You're a new hunter Cade, a rookie. You can't do it alone,"
"Now you sound just like Dean and Sammy," I said as I crossed my arms.
"As I should. They love you Cade. They're your family. They love you like a little sister,"
"I did just fine on my own before I met them,"
"You and I both know that isn't true. You've almost died so many times because of your stubborn ass ways. Do you realize how many times you've gotten lucky? How many times you've put Richard through almost intervening without permission?"
"WHY DOES HE EVEN CARE?! WHY DOES HE WATCH ME?!"
"I don't know Cade,"
"You're lying,"
"I'm needed upstairs, we'll continue this another time," Cas said before he vanished.
I was angry. I could go solo. I'd lived so far. Though as hard as it was to admit, Richard did save my ass during the last round-about with Crowley.
