Rieve nodded her head. She took a deep breath and started walking in the direction that Hans had come from. She made sure she made a lot of noise as she walked slowly to Castiel.
Castiel reluctantly pulled away from Astral at the intrusion. "I'll be back in a moment, Astral." He turned and followed the noise in the undergrowth. He rounded a bush and saw Eve stomping around. He laughed to himself. "Yes, Eve, they can hear you in Canada. What are you doing? Better yet, why are you doing it here?" He said. Her confusion evident on her face at his question.
Rieve looked at him wide-eyed, not speaking. His good mood threw her off a little. Come to think of it, she had never seen him truly smiling before. It looked go on him. She finally gathered herself and said, " I want my freedom, Cass and I want it now!" She shocked herself by the strong demand. But she held her head up higher and looked him in the eyes.
Castiel chuckled as he walked up to her. After a long while, he smiled deeply at her. " When I walked away from you this morning, you had cut my heart in two." He looked over his shoulder in the direction of where he had come. Shook his head and looked back at Eve smirking. " Astral healed me. She made my broken heart whole again. I release you of our contract. I know now, that I too never loved you either. It was a lie I told myself, in order to honor my father. I know that now, thank you Eve. Go on my friend, I wish you luck with your Hans."
Rieve whispered "Thank you Cass." and ran back to Hans.
