Chapter 3: Meeting the Cullen's
Bella's P.O.V.
The dream was worse than before, dad was being held captive by demons. Somehow I was there watching, helplessly tied to a chair. I was suddenly being shaken awake. I opened my eyes only to see my brothers worried faces.
"Sam, Dean…. I" I started to say just as someone knocked on the door. "Don't worry Bells, I'll get it." Sam said. Sam got up and left as I wrapped my arms around my knees. Dean still looked worried as Sam came in with Alice Cullen. 'Crap I forgot about the project.' I thought.
"Bella, thank go you're okay. I wanted to stop by to see how you were doing, as well as get a start on our English project." Alice said smiling. "Right, sorry Alice. These are my brothers, Sam, the tall one next to you and the worry wort is Dean. Guys this is Alice Cullen. We got picked as partners for a project in English." I said. "Right, Alice, you guys can work on it here, we don't want Bells to leave with the concussion. Izzy you need anything just holler." Sam said.
Dean looked at Sam in shock than nodded in agreement. They knew that I was going to get some kind of information on the Cullen family somehow. Dean followed Sam into the kitchen to no doubt do more research. Alice came and sat next to me as I refolded the blanket.
"Sorry again Alice but what was out topic?" I asked. "Oh, it was family. Just to jog your memory the class was assigned partners and we had to learn more about the others family." she said. "Right yeah. Do you want to go first?" I asked. "Yes! Okay first question, your parents names and dates of birth." she said.
"John and Mary Winchester. My dad's birthday is April 15, 1954 and my mom's is um… Dean!" I called. "Yeah, Bells?" he asked. "When was mom's birthday?" I asked. "Um, September 20th." he said. "Thanks!" I said and went back to Alice. "Mom's was September 20, 1954." I answered. "You speak of your mom in the past tense. What happened to her?" Alice asked. "She died when I was a baby, in a house fire." I said. "My god Bella, I'm sorry. I feel for you, growing up with three men, must have been hard." she said. "Yeah when I started it was hell." I said.
*** Flashback- 8 years ago*** Bella's P.O.V.
I went into the bathroom and as I sat down I looked at the bloodstained underwear and screamed.
"DADDY!" I yelled and he came bursting in with Sam and Dean behind him with loaded shotguns. "What is it sweetheart?" he asked. "I…. I'm bleeding, I'm dying!" I cried. "Where are you bleeding Bella?" Dad asked. "I don't know, underwear, they were bloody." I whimpered. "Sam, Dean give us privacy." he said and I heard the door close and I heard laughing coming from the other side.
"Bella, your not dying, you are only beginning puberty. It's different for you than your brothers. This will last for a week, with it you will feel cramps. Pretty soon your body will change. Bella, I'm going to go get some stuff for you, stay in here okay. I'll be right back." Dad said. All I could do was nod as he kissed my forehead and left.
*** Present Day***
Bella's P.O.V.
"I bet, so next question. Your brothers names and birthdays." Alice said. "Dean, his birthday is January 24, 1979 and Sam, me and Sam share a birthday. His is May 2, 1983 while mine is May 2, 1988." I said. "Okay, hometown?" she asked. "Lawrence, Kansas." I said. "Cool, Kansas. What does your dad do?" Alice asked. "He's a business man, he travels around a lot." I said. "Cool, so what do your brothers do?" she asked. "Um, well, Dean is a traveling salesman and Sam takes online college courses." I said. "What's Sam going for?" Alice asked. "Right now he's pre-law." I said. I grabbed my book and I got a paper cut.
"Shit, sorry Alice." I said as I looked at her while sucking on the cut. Alice's eyes got wide and was staring at my finger longingly. "Um, Alice? Are you okay?" I asked. "Um, yeah. I should go. Bella you can come over tomorrow to finish up." she said getting up and running out of the house. Dean and Sam stood in the door way and I in the window but she was already gone.
"What the hell was that about?" Dean asked. "I have know idea. I gave myself a paper cut and she was staring at it. She then ran out saying that I could come over tomorrow to finish up." I said. "Could she be…" Sam started to ask. "I don't know Sammy, Bella, you said that they all had gold eyes right?" Dean asked. "Yeah, but vampires look completely normal, except for the extra set of teeth. But the Cullen's are not normal, they look sculpted." I said. "Right you can go over tomorrow. Bring your gun, soak the bullets in the blood first. I'll give you a small jar of the blood for you to dip your knife in." Dean said. "Iz, ring once if your in trouble and keep the phone on so we can track you." Sam said.
"Guys, I'm not a kid anymore." I said. "We know Bells. Well it's 3:00 now, what do you want to do?" Dean asked. "Let's go to Port Angles." I said. "Sounds good. You are not getting drunk though." Sam said. "Who said anything about getting drunk. I just want to have fun with my brothers." I said smiling. "We leave in twenty." Dean said.
I smiled again and raced upstairs to find my baby blue strapless that shows a bit of my stomach. I put on some eye liner and lip gloss and I was good to go. I put on my leather jacket and put my new knife in the inside pocket and put on my tennis shoes. I was ready just as Dean was about to call up to me.
"Bella, uh, never mind. I don't want to argue, just get in the car." Dean said as his jaw was forming a tic. I smiled again and climbed into the backseat as Dean started the Impala blaring AC/DC. Pretty soon we entered the bar in Port Angles.
It was loud, people playing pool, a band in the corner and people everywhere talking to each other. Dean was already heading to a group of girls as Sam went to the bar to order a couple of beers and he handed one to me. I stayed at the bar while Sam went to a table in the back. I leaned against it when a guy walked up to me.
"Now what is a girl like you doing alone in a place like this?" he asked. "Who say's I'm alone?" I asked back. "Who are you with then?" he asked. "My brothers, don't worry they are pretty engrossed by now." I said. "Where are my manners? My name is Aaron." Aaron introduced. "Well, Aaron, I'm Bella." I said shaking his hand. "So why are you here, Bella?" Aaron asked. "Celebrating my birthday." I said. "And your brothers left you alone? I have a much better way to celebrate." he said smirking. I leaned forward to whisper in his ear. "Just to warn you I'm a virgin." "Don't worry, I'll be gentle." he said softly.
He led me back outside just as I looked back and saw Sam mouth 'condom' and I smiled back. Aaron led me to a SUV. He opened up the backseat and I climbed in, he followed me. I sat on his lap and we were kissing, I placed my jacket over the seat and his hands roamed up and down my back. I took off his shirt and my god he was hot, he took off my top and he started massaging my breasts. Finally we both were naked and he had me laying down. His mouth left mine and was trailing down my body and right back up. He stopped abruptly and I heard tearing as he put on a condom.
"You ready Bella?" Aaron asked. I nodded as he gently pushed himself inside me and I let a moan escape my lips. It didn't take long until he collapsed on top of me. "Now you are no longer a virgin Bella, and Happy Birthday." Aaron said. "Thank you Aaron, for everything. I have to go now before my brothers send a search and rescue party." I said getting dressed. "Wouldn't want that." he said getting dressed.
I got out of the car first and put on my jacket, making sure everything was still in the pockets. I fixed my hair and walked back inside. I went I ordered a coke and found Sam and sat next to him.
"Please tell me you were at least safe." Sam said taking a drink. "Yes, Sam. Did Dean even notice?" I asked. "Nope, this was your plan from the get go, huh?" Sam asked. "Now, why would you think that?" I asked smirking taking another drink. "Never mind, here comes Dean. Don't worry I won't tell him a thing." he said taking a drink. "That's why you are my favorite brother right now." I said smirking.
"What are you guys doing over here all bored?" Dean asked. "Just relaxing, I've had a pretty rough day." I said. "That explains you Bells, but what about Sammy?" he asked. "I'm not ready yet Dean, okay." Sam said. "Party pooper." he said as he sat down with his beer.
Sam's P.O.V.
Well, it's a very good thing that Bella made sure that she looked exactly the same, otherwise Dean would have gone after the guy. He looked like a nice kid. We just now left the bar, to my surprise Dean had fewer than I thought he had. Bella crashed in the backseat about halfway back to Forks.
"Bella did have a rough birthday, huh?" Dean asked. "You try being hit by a car on your birthday, Dean." I said. "Yeah, well I haven't, so what were you guys talking about before I showed up?" Dean asked. "About the case is all." I answered looking back at Bella. "Where was she for like an hour after we got there?" Dean asked. "Dancing probably." I answered. "Not surprising." was Dean's only response.
We got back to the house and Bella was still asleep. Dean and I both tried to wake her but to no effect, so I wound up carrying her upstairs to her bed. Once I had Bella in bed I went to my own room and crashed. The nightmares returning but it was different. Bella was being thrown across a room with a flick of a wrist by a guy with long blonde hair. I didn't recognize the room but it looked like a living room. My sister crashed through a window, the glass imbedding in her skin.
I woke with a start, cold sweat covered my chest. I got up to check on Bella. When I opened her door I saw her curled up and on her side, but the window was open and the salt line broken. I closed the window and fixed the salt line. I looked around the room but saw nothing out of place. I sighed in relief and left my sister's room going back to mine to put a shirt on. Knowing that I won't be getting anymore sleep I headed downstairs to watch TV.
The next morning I found myself asleep on the couch, a blanket wrapped around me. I got up and went to the kitchen to see Dean on my laptop. "Where's Bella?" I asked. "She left about an hour ago, that Alice chick came to get her. Bells realized that she had know idea where she was going." Dean said. "Oh, okay." I said. "What's up Sammy, you look like you saw a ghost." he said. "I had a nightmare about Bella and when I checked on her the window was open and the salt line was broken." I said grabbing a cup of coffee. "Nobody was there right?" Dean asked. "No, nothing was out of place, and Bella was sound asleep." I said. "Okay, let's wait for Bella before we do anything." Dean said, I nodded and continued drinking my coffee.
Bella's P.O.V.
I was in the living room of the Cullen household and I was staring at all of them. "You're telling me that you don't drink human blood?" I asked holding my gun out. "Yes, we drink animal blood." Edward said. "I find that hard to believe, too many missing bodies, not to mention the body laying in the morgue that's drained of blood." I said. "That wasn't us, it's another group that we are tracking. We are trying to help you." Dr. Cullen said. "God, you are nothing like the vamps I killed in the past." I said. "You've hunted vampires before?" Emment asked. "Yeah, well I've hunted things for the past nine years. I was 13 when I went on my first hunt, a ghost that had a thing against young girls. When I was 10 I started helping with the research." I said. "Now, I see. You feigned interest in the bodies just so you can get information on what the students thought was going on." Alice said. "Yep, to tell you the truth, I graduated high school last year. How can you help us get the vamps that are killing people?" I asked.
"Call your brothers because the other group will be here soon." Dr. Cullen said. I nodded and went to grab my phone out of my pocket. I called Dean and he answered on the second ring.
"Dean, you and Sam need to get here now, we have a recent development." I said. "What kind of development, Bells?" he asked. "Not now, I'll explain everything when you get here." I said. "Okay, what's the address?" Dean asked. I told him the address and he said that they will be there soon. I hung up and put my phone in my pocket and my gun in the waist band in the back of my jeans.
"Can I test a theory?" I asked. "Um, sure." Dr. Cullen said. "I need a volunteer." I said. Emment walked up and smiled as I pulled out my shiny new hunting knife, I then pulled out the small jar of dead man's blood and I dipped the knife in it. "Hold out your arm Emment." I said. Emment reluctantly held out his arm and I cut his arm. The blood covered knife cut through the skin and black lines appeared and he started hissing in pain.
"What the hell is on that knife?" Rosalie asked. "Dead Man's Blood. It's poisonous to you guys. You said you were different even the ones who were killing people. There was a chance that it wouldn't have worked." I said. "Does it wear off?" Dr. Cullen asked. "Yes it is temporary. I need to clean my knife now. It is brand new." I said. "The kitchen is right through there. Edward, go with her." Dr. Cullen said. I nodded my thanks ad followed Edward into the kitchen.
"I think I hear your car coming up. Some type of rock song blaring." Edward said as I finished cleaning my knife. "Knowing Dean it's either AC/DC or Metallica." I said. Edward looked at me dumbfounded, not recognizing either of the groups. "Seriously, your how old and you've never heard of them?" I asked. " I'm 106 and no I haven't heard of them. Now let's get the door before your brothers come bursting in here." Edward said.
I huffed and stormed out the kitchen and to the front door and opened it. My brothers were just getting out of the car. Dean went and grabbed the duffel bag from the trunk and walked up the steps with Sam right behind him.
"So, what's the new development?" Sam asked. "That the whole Cullen family are vampires and they are willing to help us get the vamps responsible for the killings." I said. "and you bought that?" Dean asked shocked. "Nope, but I'm still alive right? Plus, I tested a theory, they are not like other bloodsuckers we've killed. They don't have the second set of teeth and their skin is as hard as concrete. So the theory I tested was cutting one of them with a knife soaked in Dead Man's Blood. It worked, so yeah." I said. "So they can be killed." Dean smirked. "Only if you burn us after you decapitate us." Dr. Cullen said. I looked behind me to see the sudden appearance of the vampire doctor.
"So what's stopping us from killing you know?" Dean asked. "Because you are out numbered and they are targeting Bella." Dr. Cullen said. "What, why are they targeting my baby sister?" Sam and Dean asked. I looked at them with my mouth wide open. "Next time I'm picking the fucking case." I mumbled.
"Carlisle… They are almost here, get Bella and her brothers inside!" Alice yelled. Carlisle motioned for us to come inside and Dean literally threw me over his shoulder and carried me into the house. Emment was still clutching his arm when we entered the living room. "Great Bells, take out the biggest one why don't you." Sam said. "Hey, he volunteered. You can put me down now Dean." I said. As he sat me down with a quiet chuckle the door flew open.
Sam, Dean and I grabbed our guns as the Cullen's jumped into position at our sides. A group of three people walked in, a tall blonde that looked familiar somehow, a pretty red head and a black guy with dreads. They all had blood-red eyes and had that predator vibe about them. The blonde guy set his sights on me and moved forward. Edward and Sam stepped in front of me to protect me.
