I turn to Sammy and I know this is going to be hard for him to tell the story, especially after everything it took to get him back whole. Death cramming his soul back into his body was something so traumatic that it even ended up putting him into a looney bin long enough for him to recover from it.
"Bella, Edward is right," I say.
Bella turns to me and says, "What do you mean Edward is right?"
"A couple of years ago Sammy and I were involved in some end of the world shit; stuff that was of biblical proportions. I sold my soul to save Sam," I say with a lump in my throat.
"You did what?" she asks.
"I sold my soul to a crossroads demon in order for Sammy to live. Instead of a ten year deal, I only had a year. We searched that entire year for ways for me to get out of it and yet nothing worked. I died a year after that crossroads deal."
Sam turned around and headed to the liquor bottle. I wasn't too far behind him.
"I died Bella, and I ended up right in hell. I did things Bella down there that I'm not proud of," I say with near tears in my own eyes.
Bella's face was that of shock and frustration.
"How did… but you were dead," she said.
"Yes I was, but I apparently I had a guardian angel looking over me," I said with a smile on my face. Sam did all he could to stifle a laugh.
"I was pulled out and given another chance. However, one day Sammy and I got shot by two hunters who thought that all these demons and everything was our fault and we ended up in heaven. Yes even purgatory exists."
I looked over at Edward and said, "That's where your kind end up."
Edward nodded. "I'd been told by my father for years that we'd all end up there when we died."
Bella glanced at both of us and sat down on the bed. I felt as though all this was overwhelming her.
"So wait, you've been to heaven, hell, and purgatory?" she says.
"Yeah I was blown into purgatory by an exploding Dick," I say with a smile on my face.
She turns her head sideways, "Excuse me?"
"Do you remember a while back hearing about some big wig Dick Roman?"
She nodded.
"Well he was what is called a Leviathan. They are nasty creatures that eat humans whole. Well we figured out how to kill him except it exploded me directly into Purgatory."
She gasped, "And what happened?"
"Well that's where I found out where exactly all the bloodsuckers, shape shifters, werewolves and the like end up. I basically had to fight my way out of purgatory with the help of a Cajun vampire named Benny, not to mention my guardian angel, Castiel. We fought our way through purgatory until we found the portal to take us back. Benny's soul needed a ride, so with a few Latin words and a sliced up arm, his soul fused with my arm. I tried to pull Cas with me but he stayed there to fight off whatever was following us. I came back, alive and put Benny's soul back in his body." I tell them.
"This is all too much," she said.
"Then you'll love Sammy's story," I say, glancing at him.

I hated telling this story. I didn't remember much since Dean's guardian angel Castiel took all my pain away but I remembered up to the point of jumping into the cage with Lucifer on board.
"You see Bella, Dean and I were chosen to fight a show-down of biblical proportions," I say nonchalantly.
"Okay," she says looking at Dean and me with even more confusion.
"You were chosen by who?" she asks.
"Who knows, God, Lucifer, the angels?"
She stares and I continue.
"Dean was supposed to be the vessel for Michael, the archangel. I was to be the vessel for Lucifer and we were supposed to end the world in an epic battle. However, Dean refused so much that they went to the next in line. After our mother died, our father had a girlfriend, I guess you could call her, and had a son named Adam. When Dean kept refusing to accept Michael, they went for Adam."
She squirmed a little in her seat as I finished the story.
"I can only remember Lucifer being in me up until the point I jumped into a giant hole. After that everything is a blur."
She looked up at me. "You actually let THE Lucifer in you? Like a possession?"
I looked at Dean who raised his eyebrows.
"Well, sort of. He couldn't get inside of me unless I gave permission…"
"Wait you gave permission to Lucifer to possess you? Are you fucking insane?" she asked.
"Well it was the only way we could defeat him. I knew what I was sacrificing," I said looking over at Dean who had a cross look on his face.
"So why are you telling me this," Bella asked as I turned around for a moment to clear my head.
As I turned back to her, I said, "Because Bella, when I came back from the cage after Castiel rescued me, I had no soul."
She gasped, "What do you mean?"
"When you're down there, you're not complete. You actually separate from yourself and it took every ounce of energy Castiel had to even fight for me in there. What got left was my soul and it took quite a hit between Michael and Lucifer."
Edward stood up and walked over towards where Bella sat, and sighed. "This is what I was trying to protect you from all this time Bella. I know the importance of a soul and honestly, I wanted more for you. Can't you see that?"
Dean huffed, and said, "I don't know kid, you've done a lot more damage it seems than good."
Edward got into Dean's face and said, "You know nothing about the love I had for Bella. How dare you insinuate that."
Bella stood up and got between the two of them. "Enough guys. Listen. I get it now," she said towards Edward. "My soul is important. Dean leave it alone now. It's been years and I'm okay. I just didn't realize any of this."
"Edward, you, with me outside, now…" Bella said as pointed towards Edward.
I watched as they walked outside and Dean looked over at me with a concerned look in his eyes.
"I don't like him being out there with her," he said.
"Something tells me she can handle her own," I said, smirking.
