Not mine... just saying.

Chapter 10

Bella had a hard time believing her eyes. She was sure that it was really happening but at the same time, how many times had she imagined one of the Cullen's coming back? She stared at the figure next to Castiel, trying to find something wrong with this person. She couldn't find anything wrong with it.

It had to be Alice.

Bella slowly got up from the table and made her way to the doorway where Castiel and Alice were at. Maybe she would disappear when she got to close.

Bella stopped in front of Castiel and looked up at him. He had those same hard blue eyes and those thin lips that never seem to smile. It didn't help that she found herself festinated, wondering what those thin lips would feel like if they were to touch her.

Castiel didn't move or show any sign of discomfort with Bella staring at him. But then again Cas thought it was the normal thing to do.

Bella was in her own world, so when Sam spoke up she jumped about a foot in the air.

"Who are you?" he said from the table.

Bella had forgotten about Alice. She turned to look at Alice. She was staring from her to Castiel like she was trying to figure a hard puzzle out.

"Yeah, who the hell are you?" Bobby seconded Sam.

Bella walked up to her and grabbed both her hands. They were ice cold.

"Its really you." Bella whispered looking at Alice in the eyes forgetting about everything else. For the first time in months she saw the golden eyes that she had been trying to forget..

"Bella, who is she?" Sam asked seeming that Bella seem to know this stranger.

Bella pulled her into a hug not giving a care in the world. She didn't care about Dean and his hissy fit, she didn't care that she didn't know what she was feeling for Castiel, she didn't care that her parents were miles away in constant danger because of her.

All she cared about was that for a minutes or days or even weeks she would have her best friend with her to share this madness that she had gotten in.

"Its ok Bella." Alice whispered in her musical voice. She was hugging her back but was looking at the boys.

Sam had gotten up in while Bella was hugging her and was trying to see what was going on.

"This is Alice Cullen." Castiel said to Bobby and Sam. "Where in Dean?"

"He…. Left." Bella heard Sam say.

Bella let go of Alice but kept looking at her, afraid that she might disappear when she looked away.

"Like Cas said, this is Alice. Alice this is Sam and Bobby." She pointed at Sam and then Bobby as she said their names.

"Your not human are you?" Bobby said looking at Alice.

Bella froze. She knew they couldn't kill Alice but knowing Bobby and his ability to search, they could find a way. Why would Cas bring her if they could kill her?

"No I'm not human." Alice answered looking very cheerful for someone who had just revealed her secret.

Bella turned to look at her. Alice just smiled "Its ok. Bella, really."

"What are you?" demanded Sam at the same time Alice was trying to make Bella feel better.

"She is a friend." Bella interrupted before Alice could say anything.

"Alice can help." Cas said as he made his way to the table to sit down "Where is Dean?"

"He drove off when Bella made a comment about us practicing killing each other…." Sam said looking at Cas.

"Can you find him?" Cas said looking at Alice.

Before Bobby or Sam had a chance to question what Cas meant by that, Alice said "He is in a black car at a park with a lake."

"That's about 20 minutes away. He shouldn't have gotten there yet." Bobby said looking at Alice.

"Alice and Bella will explain. I will get Dean." Cas said before he got up and walked into the living room and disappeared.

Bella looked at Alice before she looked at Bobby and Sam. This was going to be a long conversation.

Bella tried as best she could to explain what Alice could do and what she was without freaking Sam and Bobby. She really didn't want them to kill her.

For the first time in a long time she had a girl to be friends with again. Well truth be told, Alice was the only girl that Bella was true friends with.

After a bit of yelling from Bobby and Sam, and a lot of defending from Bella and Alice, it was settled that Alice was not dangerous and she could stay.

"She can stay in my room." Bella said looking at Alice "Its not like she sleeps anyways." Bella said casually.

"What do you mean 'its not like she sleeps'?" Bobby half yelled.

"Bella, why don't you show me our room?" Alice said pushing Bella toward the hall with a forced smile. They quickly left and entered Bella's room.

Bella walked up to her bed and sat down, "I didn't think they would be that bad." she said laying down.

"Well they took it as well as they could considering what they are and what I am. Did you expect anything else. They hunt things like me all the time and now they have to live with one." Alice giggled.

Bella turned at the sound of her giggles.

"Your laughing at this? You know they could find a way of killing you?" Bella said angrily. "Bobby has all kinds of books and one of them could say something about killing very had, never sleep, can see the future vampires!"

Bella was breathing hard by now. She didn't understand Alice. Why was she laughing about this?

She laid in bed and tried to calm down. This really wasn't like her. Why was she yelling at Alice.

"Bella, Castiel isn't going to let anything happen to me." Alice said beside Bella.

"How do you know that?" Bella whispered.

"He isn't going to let anything happen to me because he knows it would hurt you." Alice stated.

"What does it have to do with me?" Bella said confused. Had Alice already picked up on what was going on between them?

"Ok. Act all innocent then. Just think about what your doing cause I don't know if you can become an angel just as easy as you can become a vampire." Alice said. " I have to go hunt."

"What? Your eyes are still gold. Why are you going?" Bella said getting up, and turning her head towards Alice.

"I just feel like I should feed a little more often. We are going to be very busy the next few day so… its just precaution." Alice said as she moved to the mirror to look at her self.

Bella just stared at her. She was always making sure there wasn't a hair out of place.

"Where is your clothes?" Alice asked looking around the room.

"Well… I don't have that much clothes. I just brought with me a few things when I left Charlie's." Bella said.

"Oh Bella. What are we going to do with you?" Alice said looking at her.

"We are going shopping tomorrow." Alice stated after she thought about it for a few minutes.

"Oh great. Sam and Dean's favorite thing to do!" Bella said looking annoyed..

"Yeah… they will both have to go with us. Maybe we can get Castiel to go with us instead?" Alice said jumping up and down with excitement.

"Maybe."

"Ok I have to go. I'll be back in a few hours. Stay out ok trouble please." Alice said sweetly before she opened the door and disappeared.

Bella laid back down and thought about what Alice said about Castiel. Was it true? Did Castiel really like her? She was in her room for a while before she heard the front door open announcing that Dean and Cas were back. Bobby and Sam were still in the kitchen from what Bella could here.

She was surprised to hear someone walking down the hall towards her room. She was even more surprised to see Castiel walk in to her room.

"Hello." Castiel said.

"Hi."

"We need to talk."

"About what?" Bella said looking up to him. He was still wearing the same clothes that she had met him with all those months back.

"About the role you will most likely play in the war between Lucifer and Michael." Castiel said.

"What?"
