When Bella first entered the town it was from the recommendation of Ellen, she said this creature that was plaguing the town was unstoppable, as seen by the long list of hunters that tried to pursue it. So, Bella being a new hunter with a younger eye that was more appreciative to detail was asked to visit the town to see if she could get a greater understanding of the creature.
Bella, a newly minted hunter decided that this hunt would have to be more subtle than all her others. Therefore, instead of immediately questioning the townspeople about the mysterious child sickness she observed everyone with the excuse of being an art major looking for inspiration.
She stayed in the town for over a week before she started to actively question certain people, she started small usually using the grieving parents as a way to get hints. However, the information she got from a week of observation was useless. Bella realized she might have gotten ahead of herself with this hunt.
However, close to calling for help Bella noticed new arrivals in the town. The first man she noticed was tall and bulky, close to the size of Emmett, he wore a simple overcoat but she noticed the gun holster on the side of his hip. The next guy was taller, almost abnormally, but still nothing compared to the Quileutes, with a lithe figure. They were talking in hushed voices and Bella noted that the bulkier male had a deep, rich gravelly voice that ignited a flame in her.
She decided to just observe them for a while.
The next day Bella heard that the men were talking to one of the sickly children's mother and immediately afterward they visited the pediatrics ward.
Bella, still new to the hunting world, had a vibe they were hunters but was unsure so she did not harass them, she was warned by Ellen that you should never break a hunter's concentration, especially with dangerous creatures such as this one, which eluded so many hunters.
Bella, unknowingly wasn't being as subtle as she thought when she stalked or eavesdropped on their conversations, mostly to just hear the man, who she learned name was Dean, voice.
Dean, realized that their was someone that did not belong in the townspeople setting, from the locals he heard that she was an art major looking for inspiration; however, he could tell that cover was false because she never had any sketchpads or any type of artistry equipment with her. Therefore, Dean disregarded the curvy body, bouncy brunette hair, and the heart-shaped face. He did not confront her, because so far she had no relevance to the case, since she arrived after the children were getting sick. He decided he'd deal with her after the case was solved.
Bella, staying in the same hotel as Sam and Dean realize that the hotel owner had a child that contacted the same illness and from the way Sam and Dean approached both the owner and the remaining child, it confirmed they were hunters. Now, she used them as a guide to understand what was going on, so she eavesdropped on their conversation with the child then she listened to the conversation they were having in their hotel room.
From their conversation she found that the creature was a shtriga, something she have never heard of. However the most important thing she learned was that the tall man's name was Sam, they have been hunting from childhood, and their dad was a hunter too; therefore, Bella inferred they were the infamous Winchester brothers.
She didn't know if she should leave immediately or wait until the hunt was over, but Bella knew she would have to stay away from them.
She researched the shtriga and found that it was a creature that could appear human and fed on the 'breath of life' and it can only be killed when its feeding with consecrated wrought iron. From the patterns of sickness Bella knew that the hotel owner's older child was next since the younger brother contacted the sickness already. However, by the time she started to approach Michael, the older child, she realized the Winchester Brothers were already creating a plan. Since she didn't want to interfere she decided to watch.
She stayed up during the night and roamed near Michael's bedroom. When she heard gunfire, her adrenaline ignited but she waited, she didn't know what her involvement could cause if she entered the room. She heard another shot and stood close enough to the bedroom to peek and saw dust settle into clothing but every human in the room was fine, so she left before she was noticed.
The same night Bella decided it would be better to leave; especially since the case was closed. It morbidly amused her that the shtriga was posing as a pediatric doctor which created the image of Carlisle acting the same but instead taking the blood. As a result her blog posted story had a similar character name as Carlisle Cullen but instead of blood he fed on the soul. Her followers loved the change from vampire stories to something new so she gained many praises for her imagination.
The next morning Dean went to actively find the art major who he learned was named Bella. The hotel owner, Joanna, happy over the recovery of her child and encompassed in confusion over the abrupt way left easily forgot about privacy of her boarders and told them Bella left the same night.
Dean, became immediately suspicious of Bella, but found no reason to actively hunt her, so he just accepted the strange behavior and left with Sam.
Bella, gained a reality check on the previous hunt. Dean and Sam basically swept into the town assessed people and immediately knew what they were hunting and created a plan under three days. On the other hand, she stayed in the town over a week and barely understood what she was looking for, her ego was bruised. When she was titled a hunter she felt accomplished, like her life meant something in the greater scheme and now the Winchesters ruined that perception, so she went home to lick her wounds.
She entered the ranch and felt lonely and incompetent. As a Sanford Journalism Major she took many obscure classes to get a greater perspective on how to read people, talk to people, and understand their culture. She took religion classes, history classes, cultural classes, language classes, mythological classes because she knew that humans were not the only ones populating the earth and now being a hunter proved that. However, with all the classes she took she had the realization that they meant nothing compared to real seasoned hunters, as the Winchesters and even the surly Bobby Singer.
At home, she settled for a beer and read another obscure creature book she got under Renee's recommendation. She updated her blog with scenic pictures she took on the way back home. She read some messages. She researched. She trained. However, regardless of the things she did to consume both her time and attention the idea that she was still inadequate swept through her.
She decided the best way to lick her wounds was to do what she did best, hunt vampires, if she saw the Cullens again she knew they would be horrified, she kind of wished to see them just to get a glimpse of Rosalie's terrified face.
On her blog, some Hunter's messaged her about the death of Daniel Elkin by vampire hands, so she took that as an act of spiritual guidance and decided Manning, Colorado was the best place to reassert herself as a valuable hunter.
In Manning, Bella got the feeling that the coven was not to be underestimated. Most of her vampire coven kills were efficient because they did not know of hunters and were unaware that they were not invincible. By entering the town and seeing some of the subtle deaths with an attempt at covering up, Bella knew the vampires were at least mildly aware of hunters.
Bella found their hideout, but was shocked into immobilization when she saw the entire Winchester family enter the barn filled with the sleeping vampires she was going to hunt. Bella, followed behind them as they entered the barn, and planned to not interfere but when Dean tried to free the female captive Bella had to interfere. She knew the captive was regretfully going to turn into a vampire and knew if the brothers freed her there would be problems. She stopped them in time before the captive was awakened but the brothers abandoned their task in favor of attacking her, the result was the coven being awakened by the fight and having to make a run for it.
She tried to disappear into her trusty truck but was tackled by Dean and thrown into the car with the rest of the Winchester's suspicious gave upon her. John broke the tense silence when he stated that the vampires were letting them leave because they had the ability to track them, Bella rolled her eyes, barely stopping herself from saying, 'obviously'.
They brought her to the motel room, drew a demon circle, tied her to a chair, cut her with a silver knife, and made her drink a liquid she guessed was holy water, entirely without saying a word Bella accepted the treatment, which in hindsight probably made them treat her rougher than was necessary.
"Who are you?" After a serious staredown from all the Winchester's John finally questioned her. Normally she would be terrified except the adrenaline rush she got from the encounter ignited her.
"I'm Bella, who are you?" The question must have angered them but that didn't stop the grin that slipped through.
"Sorry, I just wanted to show you how rude that was. I'm Bella Swan, and I'm a new hunter, I specialize in vampires. So can you untie me, this isn't very comfortable." She saw John's hand twitch and that removed the amusement and made her furious.
"What did I do to you people, to deserve this treatment?" Still no responses from the brothers and a grunt from John. "Have you two suddenly turned deaf or mute?"
"What were you doing in Wisconsin?" John became silent at Dean's question. He was not aware the boys possibly knew her. The girl, Bella, became a threat.
"I was hunting, just like you." She refused to admit her failure. "Listen, we don't have time for this. I'm a hunter just like you, I specialize in vampires which is why I was at the barn the same time as you. Actually, you should be thanking me because if you freed that captive then you would all be dead."
"It was your fault we had to flee." Sam, finally entered the conversation after his slow assesment of her.
"No, it was your trigger happy brother's fault." She knew that was a mistake, by the silence and the glances between the family she knew she screwed up.
"How did you know who we were?"
"The Winchester's are famous, actually infamous is the correct term; especially, John." At that point John seemed to have enough of her and roughly untied her, in which she gingerly stepped over the devil circle, but before she could leave the room, John stopped her.
"I want you gone, this is our hunt, we don't need some inexperienced girl turning into a damsel because she thought she could be the prince." Bella didn't respond but left the room with a quick glare that pierced into their soul.
Sam, watched the way Dean lustfully stared at Bella's fortunate posterior physique. He only winked and smiled when he realized Sam caught it.
Bella realizing she now had no vehicle so no weapons spent the day gathering equipment that could be used for exterminating vampires, a machete was her most valuable object.
On her way to the barn she saw a roadblock occurring with John and the vampire head, Luther at a stand-off she crept close, keeping herself from the spotlight but still in view of the action. She watched as John almost won the bargain for the gun, but in a dubious move the vampire coven mate, Kate backhanded him, afterwards fighting ensued but Bella didn't want to insert herself when everything was unsure, so she watched for the first signs of real danger to the Winchesters.
She watched as Luther captures Sam, then John shooting Luther with a gun, which she almost rolled her eyes over until she saw the effect of the shooting. Knowing the shock of the action was her best chance, she quickly lopped of the head of Kate and the other girl with her machete.
The winchester's over their shock raised their weapons on her. Bella fed up with their trigger happy behavior only rolled her eyes and huffed.
"I was here to help." She wryly told them.
"I know I said we didn't want it."
"You are forgetting that I was here first. This was my hunt, and technically that means I didn't need your help."
John didn't reply but walked back to his truck. Sam reluctantly followed. Dean, on the other hand, was swept in another haze of lust. His brain kept replaying her short stature wielding the large machete and decapitating the female vampires heads which were still there rolling around staring unseeingly. He steadily gazed at her curvy figure and pouty lips and could barely listen to the proceedings between Bella and his father. So when Sam hit him in the back of the head to signal it was time to leave, Dean jumped, which only made Bella laugh. John was glaring.
"Do you need a ride?" The question shocked everyone, even Dean.
"Yes, I do actually." She walked past Dean and sat in the passenger seat next to John. At this point John was fuming at the audacity of the girl, but was too hyped up from the revelations of the infamous Colt to say anything but, " Where am I leaving you?"
"A car dealership. In a big city preferably." John grunted and they drove back to the motel room to collect their things, afterwards bring Bella to Colorado Springs where Dean made them wait as she purchased a brand new truck reminiscent of John's. She asked him where she could find some of those weapons but he only glared at her and walked away.
"All set then, thanks for everything." She walked up to Dean and felt the need to do something but she was confused as to what. Her virgin status became a hindrance for once in her life. Dean, on the other hand, was sure of what he wanted so he swept down and gave her a deep kiss with a light squeeze on her derriere.
John absolutely fed up with this distraction honked his horn which broke the couple up.
"I'll see you around." Bella could only smile and tried to hide the blush that rose up. Bella gave him her card, which had her blog, email, and phone number on it. Dean put it in his wallet and gave her another deep kiss and walked away. She saw the surprise on Sam's face from their actions and the scowl John was giving her. She winked and waved as they drove away.
Dean, was too happy to be affected by John's bad mood so he used his phone to input her number and save her email. Then when they stopped at a diner he used Sam's laptop to find her blog, what he read was astonishing. Bella's oldest post were mainly pictures of beautiful locations in America but overtime it changed into the supernatural, where she published stories accompany to accompany the morbid pictures. From the blog he confirmed that she was a hunter and that she specialized in vampires and he noticed that she had a lot of followers, she was internet famous. He now desired her more than ever, before it was just her body but now reading the blog and seeing the pictures he was enraptured into her. The idea of a female hunter, an attractive one close to his age, was already a turn-on but she was also accomplished outside of the hunting world.
He showed Sam the blog but he honed in on the fact that she went to Stanford the same time as him. Actually, the first few blog post was from the newspaper article surrounding Jessica's death. Sam was unsettled by the fact that he could of known her.
John took the blog with a grain of salt. He noticed she did focus on vampires but with a sprinkle of ghosts and witches. However, he honed in on the story of her in Wisconsin where she illustrated Dean and Sam's involvement with the shtriga. He could only state that at least she was smart enough to make money of hunting.
