Chapter 4 : New Case
Sam's P.O.V.
I recognized the blonde from my dream and I instantly stepped in front of Bella. Edward did the same, and I took a questioning side glance at him before returning my focus on the three in front.
"Step aside, all we want is the girl." the blonde growled. "What did I ever do to you?" Bella asked. "You killed my brother, you bitch!" he growled louder. "Hey, shut up. Your brother probably deserved it!" Dean yelled. "James… take your coven and leave or we will make you." Edward growled. "Now why would I do that? I want the girls blood, maybe even change her. What do you think Cullen? She'll make for an intriguing vampire, huh a hunter turned into what she hunts, ironic isn't." he said. "You touch her you die." Edward growled.
James was gone but his buddies where still there. I heard a gun drop behind me and I turned to see Bella pinned against the wall. James' hand was around my sisters throat as her fingers were clawing at his hand.
"Get your filthy, bloodsucking hands off my sister!" Dean yelled pointing the gun at him. "Stay back human or I'll snap her neck." James warned. Bella was turning blue and her hands were going slack. James then threw her through a window just like my dream. Dean and I both shot James while Edward grabbed Bella's gun and shot the black vamp. I followed Dean through the broken window to see Bella laying in a heap with pieces of glass in her legs and arms.
"Bella come on sis, breathe!" Dean said clutching her body. "Dean he have to breathe for her." I said. Dean put her down but the first thing I did was check her pulse, which was steady but she wasn't breathing. I started breathing for her and within the first couple of breaths she started coughing.
Dean and I both sighed in relief that she was alive at least. Dr. Cullen saw us hovering over Bella, who was still coughing. "Bring her in, I will get the glass out." he said. We nodded and I picked her up as gently as I could and carried her in the house.
"Sam… it … hurts…" Bella said through clenched teeth. "I know Iz, Dr. Cullen is gonna take care of you here." I said. "Set her in your lap so I can pull out the pieces of glass." Dr. Cullen said. I place her on my lap and wrapped my arms protectively around my little sister as Dean held out her left arm. Dr. Cullen then started pulling out the glass.
"Jesus, Bells, you can make a bottle out of all of these." Dean said while bracing her right leg. "Shut it, Dean." was her only response. Just then Dr. Cullen pulled out the deepest one and blood started gushing out. "Dean put pressure over that now!" Cullen said firmly. Dean grabbed a towel and put pressure over it as Dr. Cullen started prepping for stitching Bella. He started with the deepest wound in her thigh. I heard yelling and growling coming from outside the room. An hour later Bella was all stitched up and ready to go.
"Take it slow getting up. You boys force orange juice in her and make sure she eats. Here is my number, you need a doctor, call." Dr. Cullen said. "Will do, thanks again Doc." I said putting the card in my wallet. "Come on Sammy, let's get out of here!" Dean called as he helped Bella into the backseat. "I'm coming!" I yelled. "Sam, you be careful, the red head got away. Watch you backs, she'll probably target Bella because of the way Edward protected her." he said.
"Don't worry about it, we are leaving tonight." I said climbing into the car. "We are definitely leaving. Bella needs to heal and I think we need a very easy case." Dean said driving away. "Why don't we stop at Bobby's for awhile. Let Bella heal safely." I offered. "Why can't I decide?" Bella asked. "Okay, what do you want to do?" Dean asked. "Let's stay on the road. I'll heal, let's just continue doing what we've been doing." she said.
"That's fine, let's get the hell out of Forks." Dean said. Bella and I nodded and we got back to the house. Bella stayed in the car asleep so I packed her bag. I was the last one out of the house, which means that Dean was mocking me when I climbed into the car.
One Week Later
Bella's P.O.V.
I was sitting in the room alone, my brothers were out getting coffee, I think. My stitches were itchy, and I was getting anxious, so I got out my laptop. I was searching for any mysterious deaths, and I found one in Toledo, Ohio. A man found dead in his bathroom, his oldest daughter found him. I immediately went for my phone just as my brothers walked in.
"What, Izzy, you look anxious." Sammy said. "I found a case in Toledo." I said. "What kind of case, Iz?" Dean asked. " 'A man was found dead in his bathroom, doctor are stumped at the cause of death.' Interested now?" I asked. "Yep, definitely. You said Toledo right." Dean said. I smiled brightly absently scratching the stitches.
"Bella, stop scratching." Sam said. "When can I get them out?" I asked. "Let me see." Sam said. Happy that I wore shorts or should I say a pair of Dean's stolen boxers. "Are those mine?" Dean asked. "Yep, they are very comfy, I see why you like them." I turned to Sam who was laughing. "So, can they come out yet?" I asked. "they look ready except for the nasty one on your thigh. That one needs a few more days, I can take these out now if you want." Sam said. I nodded and both of my brothers were cutting out my stitches.
"Hey Bells, do you steal clothes from Sam or just me?" Dean asked. "I steal from both of you." I said pulling on some sweats. "What do you steal from Sam?" he asked. "Shirts mostly. Haven't you noticed that his shirts are a bit looser?" I asked. Dean's eyes brightened with laughter as Sam came out of the bathroom and put on one of the shirts I always stole.
I quickly went to the bathroom to check my neck. The bruise was healing quite nicely, no thanks to James. I grabbed my things from the bathroom and put them in my duffel bag with the rest of my clothes. My back pack held a sawed off, two pistols and a knife. I also had a knife on me just in case. I climbed into the backseat of the Impala where two coolers took up a small space. One was filled with beer and soda while the other one had Dead Man's Blood.
Dean put on Ozzy, but I didn't feel like rock so I pulled out my IPOD and put on Rascall Flatts. Without realizing it I started to singing along. I was always really good at singing but I was nervous about singing in front of people. My brothers were looking at me weird when we stopped for gas.
"Jesus, Bells, who the hell are you listening to?" Dean asked. "Rascall Flatts dear brother." I answered. "Who?" he asked. "God, your stupid Dean. It's country." I said. "Why are you listening to country?" Dean asked. "Leave her be Dean, she's allowed to listen to any type of music she wants." Sam said. "Thank you Sammy. What do you guys want cause I'm thirsty." I said. "I'm good Izzy." Sam said. "Coke and can I get some M&M's?" Dean asked. I nodded and grabbed my wallet from my weapons back pack and walked into the station.
I walked to the back of the store and grabbed three liters of coke, Dr. Pepper and a cherry coke. I then grabbed a bag of M&M's and a bag of funions. I couldn't resist those onion flavored chips. When I walked to the counter there was a hot guy who was the cashier.
"Hey, is this all for you today?" he asked in a very southern drawl. "Yep, sorry but where are you from?" I asked. "Texas, I get that all the time sweetheart. I moved here a couple years ago." he said. "Cool, well my brothers are waiting for me so…" I said. "Right, that'll be $12.15." he said. I swiped my card and smiled as I gathered my purchases to get back to the car. I could feel the guy staring at me 'till I got in the car.
"You get his number Bells?" Dean asked. "What! God Dean is that all you think about?" I asked. "Basically." Dean smirked. "I guess I won't give you the m&m's. Hey Sam, I know that you said that you didn't want anything but I got you a cherry coke." I said. "Thanks Izzy." Sam said as I handed out the drinks but kept the M&M's with me.
"Hey! What about the M&M's?" Dean asked. "I'll give them over only if you promise that you won't make fun of my music choices Dean." I said. "Fine, just give them over." he said. "Okay, even a peep about my music and I'll tell Sam about New Orleans." I said handing the candy over. Dean's face, it was priceless, his eyes widened in horror. Sam's face filled with curiosity, and he pulled out his phone and sent a text.
'Bells, let's annoy him with the music. I'll sing along too.' Sam sent. 'Let's do it evil grin.' I sent. 'I'm guessing that you also have more dirty secrets about Dean?' Sam sent. 'Like you won't believe. Did you know that he talks in his sleep?' I sent. 'He does! God I sleep like the dead.' he sent. 'Yes, you do dear brother. Anyway when I woke up last night he was talking about someone named Mandy.' I sent.
"Will you two stop it. I mean come on, your in the same room." Dean said. "fine okay. How far 'till Toledo?" I asked. "About another day Bells." he said. "okay, wake me when we get there." I said as I drifted off to sleep.
I dreams were wild and confusing until it settled on one thing. The night James attacked. All I focused on was Edward, which was weird. I mean that because he was a vampire and I a hunter and it would never work. But I heard his voice and saw his golden eyes until I was being shaken awake.
"We're here Bella. It's late so we will talk to the family tomorrow." Sam said. I nodded, rubbed my eyes and got out of the car grabbing my duffel and backpack. I stumbled into the room and crashed on the first be I saw.
Dean's P.O.V.
When I got into the hotel room Bella was crashed on the bed, her shoes still on and her bags still with her. Chuckling to myself I took off her shoes and put her bags on the ground net to the bed. Sammy came in with the rest of the bags and sighed. "I wonder what she dreams about." Sam said. "Something's yeah, but not what she was dreaming about in the car." I said. "Yeah, well, when she wakes up screaming then I do." he said.
I nodded and I took off my shoes and went into the bathroom. It's just become habit to change in there while having a sister. Once I came out Sam claimed the other bed so I crashed on the couch.
I woke to the smell of coffee and bacon, my two favorite things. When I sat up, Bella was at the table with a paper and her laptop. "Good morning, sunshine." she said still looking at the laptop. "Morning, anything new?" I asked. "Nope, I grabbed breakfast from Burger King. The Schumaker family are having a memorial service today and after that convening back at their house." she said taking a drink of coffee. "You know, coffee stunts your growth." I teased. "Then maybe you shouldn't drink it." she said smiling. I sat next to her and a strong smell of vanilla filled the air around her.
Before I could as what that was Sam finally got out of bed. "Morning Sammy, coffee?" Bella asked. "Sure, are you okay?" Sam asked. "I'm fine, just a little cramping a little." she said. "Need anything?" I asked. "Nope, caffeine works just as well as painkillers, though I did take some." she said. "So, that's why you smell like vanilla." I said. Bella smiled and stood to grab the bags of food behind her. "So what's the plan of attack today?" she asked setting the bag in the middle of the table. "Well first check out the body and then check out the house." I said.
Bella then turned and found out where the body was and when the funeral was being held. We then started to get ready and Bella put on high heeled boots. Those boots made her taller than me. So after Sam got out of the bathroom and went in to take a shower.
