Chapter 3
Sam, Dean and I pulled up to the house 20 minutes later having not spoken apart from me giving Dean directions. Sam and I kept making eye contact in the mirror and every time we did both of us broke into a huge grin. I could feel my heart beating faster and Edward barely crossed my mind it was only when I remembered where we were headed that I started to feel slightly guilty.
As we walked through the front doors I could feel the tension in the house, everyone was gathered in the living room and I immediately felt guilty. Jasper looked up at me, obviously feeling my guilt and I knew he was trying to figure out why.
I took a seat on the armchair, leaving Sam and Dean to sit on the sofa next to it. We all sat in silence for a few minutes, no one quite sure what to say. I kept my eyes on the floor not knowing who to look at, but in my thoughts I wanted to sit next to Sam and just talk rubbish like we used to and I was again grateful Edward couldn't read my thoughts. But what if he read Sam's? I gulped at the prospect.
"So, Sam, Dean, how do you know Bella?" Esme ventured to bring up the subject that was causing the most confusion. I decided it would be safe to look up now and looked over to Sam and Dean.
"Well, our dad used to be friends with Bella's uncle who is also a hunter and we used to spend a lot of time together growing up. Our dad would leave us at Bobby's whilst they were off hunting and Bella's mom used to watch over us, she's like the little sister I never wanted!" I made eye contact with Dean and saw he was smiling at me with love in his eyes.
"Thanks Dean, you are like the big brother who I am so glad I don't have!" I could give as good as I got, I learnt something good from Dean! I am glad Sam hadn't answered, his and my relationship had never been one of brother and sister! I saw Edward give me a questioning look, was it obvious that there was history between me and Sam? What was Sam thinking about as Dean spoke?
"So is that how you two got into hunting? Your dad?" Jasper looked intrigued why someone would choose their lifestyle. I supposed with his background he could understand not questioning your family and following them into war even if you didn't want to.
"Yes and no" Sam didn't look in the mood to share and I could understand why having been told the story when I was much younger. "Our dad started hunting when we were both very young and we have never really known any other life"
"Except for when Sammy here packed up and left us to go to college!"
"Dean, that was uncalled for! Sam deserved to try and have a normal life!" I always got defensive of Sam, it was in my nature.
"It's ok Iz, if I hadn't then Jess would still be alive and maybe so would dad" Tears appeared in Sam's eyes, he has always felt guilty for his mom's death and now I feared he felt the same for Jess' and his dad's.
"Sam, don't think like that, it wasn't your fault, none of their deaths were! Your mum, dad and Jess were killed because of yellow eyes not you! How can you blame yourself?" I reached for his hand which he willingly gave.
"Yellow eyes?" Edward's face showed even more confusion as did the rest of the Cullens.
"A demon." Dean was not giving anything away. "But he isn't a problem anymore"
"WHAT! You finally managed to kill the bastard?" I was shocked, why hadn't Uncle Bobby told me any of this? The Cullens all looked at me scandalised that I had sworn, in the heat of the moment I forgot that when I moved to Forks I had tried to act more like a young woman and less like a rough and ready bloke!
"We did, Dean did. But not before other things occurred. Bobby was right Iz, I did die. Dean, stupidly, did a deal to bring me back but that's another story!" Sam looked over at Dean and I could tell this was an argument they constantly fought.
"What! Dean, I don't know if I want to hit you or hug you!"
"Woah Bells! You know I couldn't live with myself without Sammy, it's my job to look after him. I couldn't think of any other option. Put yourself in my shoes what would you have done?" I couldn't meet his gaze because we both knew I would have done the exact same thing for Sam.
"Can we just slow down a minute here! I for one am totally confused, firstly Bella, you knew about all this supernatural stuff before you met me, then why did you act like you didn't know I was a vampire?" Edward turned his attention to Sam now "Secondly how can you have come back from the dead and why can't I read either of your minds? And why are you calling her Iz? She hates that name?"
"I didn't know much about vampires, Uncle Bobby and John always believed that they had all been destroyed years ago by another hunter. I have read various books about vampire lore but the legends about vampires are varied and not many of them agree on anything! So when we first met I dismissed vampires, thinking that they didn't exist anymore! I never lied to you!" I looked at Edward who looked like he was finding it hard to take all this new information about me in. "As for Sam, that I would like to know!" I turned my attention back to Sam. " Last time I spoke to Uncle Bobby he was distraught because you had been killed and Dean was falling apart, what happened?"
Sam and Dean shared an uneasy look, neither one looking comfortable sharing their story with a room full of vampires.
Sam eventually gave a big sigh and began. "Well, you know about the yellow eyed demon, well he had plans for me and other children like me." He sighed giving me a chance to register what he had said.
"Wait, what do you mean others like you? What about you?" I was intrigued what Sam was talking about. Dean cast a glance at the Cullens obviously weighing up how much he could tell them. "You can trust them Dean, I trust them!" He looked over to Sam who nodded before starting with his explanation.
"Well, for about a week before Jess died I started getting these dreams, it was the same dream every night but I ignored them, thought it was just fear of losing her. It was only after Jess died that I started to realise what they meant. Iz, I dreamed of Jess' death, exactly how it happened. The blood drops, her…" Sam paused and I knew it still hurt him to talk about it. "Her on the ceiling, the fire everything. Then I started getting other dreams of other people dying unnaturally and after a few incidents Dean and I came to realise they were all people connected to yellow eyes. They were a few of us, all born in the same year, some had mothers who died in house fires and all displayed psychic abilities, I met a couple of them. Then one day I woke up in this abandoned town with a few of the others I had met and some I hadn't. I found out that yellow eyes had gathered us all together to battle it out until only one of us was left! Apparently he only needed one of us, the strongest one, needless to say my kind forgiving nature backfired against me! Instead of killing the last remaining guy who attacked me unprovoked, I took pity on him and let him live! Big mistake, one that cost me my life" Sam went silent then and looked to the floor. It broke my heart to have him tell me this but I HAD to know!
Dean took over the story, "Bobby and I brought Sam back to a shack that we had not far from where we found Sam and after many arguments I told Bobby to leave me alone and let the world go to hell! After much soul searching I knew I couldn't continue without Sammy so I made a deal with a crossroads demon who gave me one year in exchange for Sam's life. I raced back to the shack and found Sam alive, god, I have never been so happy to see the bitch in my life!" Dean smirked at the last comment.
"Jerk!" Both Sam and I said at the same time and the tension broke between us. We immediately burst into laughter! It was just like being back with them at Uncle Bobby's. When we eventually regained our composure I noticed all the Cullens were looking at me like they had never seen me before. I immediately blushed, embarrassed that I was totally ignoring my 'family'.
"Sorry, but I haven't seen these guys for a long time and we spent so much time together over the years sometimes we forget our surroundings!" I tried to explain to the Cullens the reason for my odd behaviour.
"Yeah, Bells was such a funny kid, always falling over trying to keep up with me and Sam. Although Sam always waited for her, but that's my dorky little brother for you!" Dean glanced over to me and Sam with his cheeky grin.
"Well someone has to take care of her! She is so clumsy! I felt it was my duty to guard her at all times!" Sam chuckled in response and I immediately saw Edward tense up.
"I totally agree with you man but did you have to go all girly when she cut herself!! You used to flap around her like she was made of china!" Dean smirked as Sam glared at him.
"I only made a fuss because I didn't want her to faint! You remember as well as me what would happen, she faints, she wakes up, she cries then she pukes. And for the record Iz crying is not a pretty picture!" Sam retorted. I started getting a bit annoyed being talked about when I was in the room.
"Excuse me guys I am here you know! And what do you mean not a pretty picture! Even when I managed to get covered in blood and rock salt you said I was adorable! Or was that just a lie to get me to stop crying?" As soon as the sentence was out of my mouth I instantly regretted it, not Edward was bound to guess the nature of mine and Sam's relationship but I had just given Dean the perfect opportunity to rib me about that incident!
"You are, you are. Don't worry my opinion hasn't changed! In fact in the last 2 years you have changed from a cute, sweet innocent girl to a intelligent, funny, gorgeous woman." Sam's eyes never left mine as he said this and all I wanted to do was jump over to him and kiss him within an inch of our lives. I barely remembered the Cullens were sitting there until I heard an unmistakeable growl coming from Edward. I didn't look over to him however I remained looking at Sam who suddenly seemed to remember where we were. "Do you remember what I said to you before we left last time?" I nodded and he continued. " Well nothing has changed on my side at least. God I sound like a girl! See what you do to me!"
Dean's smirk got bigger at the last statement! "That is why I avoid chick flick moments dude, only get yourself in trouble!"
I could feel the tears welling up again, I knew Sam cared for me, and how much I cared for him but I never thought he would still feel the same after all these years. I also realised that Sam had almost unknowingly told me in front of all the Cullen's that he loved me and to make matters worse I no longer knew who I loved more, Edward or Sam?
