Chapter 2

Bringing the Dead Back to Life

Bella's Point of View

I woke up screaming. I had seen everything; the hellhounds attacking Jo, her decision to make a bomb and finally Ellen and Jo's death. I could feel the hellhounds tearing at Jo's flesh and than I felt Ellen's pain as the bomb went off. It took me a minute to calm down. I got dressed and transported to where they had died. There was blood everywhere and I followed it to where a building used to stand. Now there was ruble; I focused my energy and moved everything out of the way until I found their bodies. They were completely unrecognizable and I became angry. I knew this was coming, but that doesn't mean it hurt any less. I wasn't going to allow the angels or the demons to get away with this. They wanted to start a war well they had, but it wasn't the one they were hoping for. Before now I had stayed in the background, but they had just pushed me over the limit. I stepped back and raised my hands. I began to bring them back from where ever they were and slowly they began to look like themselves. Than finally they began breathing.

"Mom what's going on?" Jo asked.

"I don't know I think we are dead." Ellen told her.

"Not exactly." I said and they looked at me for the first time.

"B?" was all Jo said.

"Yea Jo it's me and your not dead; I mean you were, but you're not now." I said.

They jumped up and ran over to hug me. "How in the hell are you alive? We watched you get stabbed and burst into flames." Ellen said.

I laughed, "It's a long story, but right now we need to leave. Take my hand and hold on." They did as I said and we went back to my house. "Ok here is the short version. Yes I did die and yes I did it on purpose so I could save you guys. Now I am a very powerful badass who has been helping you from a far; that is until today." I finished.

"B, were you at your funeral?" Jo asked me.

"Yes I was." I said.

She jumped on me, "You bitch you were alive and you let us believe you were gone. Do you have any idea how messed up we all were? Oh wait yea you were at the funeral."

"Jo it's not that simple. When I made the choice to become what I am I gave up something." I said. I couldn't finish my sentence.

"Give up what B? Tell me." Jo said.

"After we put Lucifer back in his cage you won't see me ever again. After that's done I can't be involved in your lives anymore. I thought that instead of putting all of you through that kind of pain twice I would just stay away and help from a distance, but I know now I can't do that." I finished.

"There has to be some other way." Jo said to me.

"There isn't Jo." I said quietly.

We sat there just saying nothing until Ellen spoke up, "Bella does anyone else know you are alive?"

"Yea Cas does, but no one else. I have been helping them, but they don't really put any stock in it." I said.

"What do you mean?" Ellen asked.

"I whisper to them using the wind. I coerce them into doing what they need to do, but they think they are just crazy." I said.

"See mom I knew I heard her voice!" Jo exclaimed.

I laughed, "Yea well I had to point you guys in the right direction some way."

"So what now Bella?" Ellen asked me.

I sighed, "Well looks like we are going to have to get the band back together."

Ellen asked to take a shower which left Jo and me alone to talk.

"B what is your biggest deal about meeting up with them again?" she asked me.

"It will be harder to leave them this time." I said quietly.

"Dean and Edward you mean?" she asked.

"Yea; they are going to want answers and I can't give them the answers. They would try and stop me, but they can't Jo. I choose my path and there is no changing it." I told her.

"What about choosing between them?" she asked.

"Well I forgot about that." I said and laughed. It was just like old times, but this wasn't going to last for long. "Jo you know that after this is over we won't be able to hang or see each other again."

"I know B you already said that. What I don't get is why?" she said.

"It's a really complicated and long story." I said.

"I got time." she replied.

"Basically Jo I'm immortal now. I mean I can get hurt, but I heal myself." I said.

She cut me off, "Than how is that complicated except for the whole Dean being mortal thing."

I laughed, "Jo it's not that; there is more to it. You remember Alice had visions right?" she nodded, "Well so do I; I saw what happens if I stay in your lives after Lucifer is sent back and it's not good. After this is over with Demons, Angels and hunters are going to be after me and I saw you all die to protect me. I refuse to allow that." We were quiet for a while and I decided to lighten up the mood, "Besides it is a huge time consuming operation bringing your asses back to life and I have other things to do."

She laughed and Ellen came in, "So have we figured out a plan?"

"Follow me." I said and they did. I took them to the pond and said, "This is how I have been keeping tabs on all of you. I can see anything I want within any pool of water." With that I waved my hand and focused on the pack.

"It's Jake!" Jo screamed.

"Yea it's what he is doing right now." I said and than I looked closer. There were demons coming, "Looks like we are going to make an appearance girls; are you ready?" they nodded and took my hand. This was going to be a long day.

Jacob's Point of View

Charlie was visiting today; it had taken everything to drag his ass out of his house. He hadn't been the same since Bella died. Leah came over and sat with me; she and her brother had joined the pack shortly after Bella died. When they found out Bella died for us and that it was because of her we had out abilities she had changed. Before she was bitter since Sam had imprinted on her cousin while he was dating her, but now she was more caring.

"What's wrong Jake?" Leah asked me.

"Just thinking about Bella; I can't believe it's been almost a year." I said quietly.

"Yea Emily has been talking about it a lot lately. She wants us all to go to the grave." she said.

"Yea I heard; did you hear about Ellen and Jo?" I asked her. She just nodded; she met Ellen and Jo about three months ago when they came to visit Charlie. Jo and her got along really well and had kept in contact, but three days ago Dean called to let us know they were dead.

We sat in silence for a while until Seth came running up to us, "Guys demons are on their way."

"Seth go get Sam and the others now." I said. Leah and I transformed and go ready for a fight. The wind blew and I recognized Meg's scent; I growled.

"Down boy." Meg said coming into view. "Aw Jake don't be like that." she said smiling and turned to Leah, "You must be Jo's friend. You should have seen what my dogs did to her; no worries you will experience it first hand."

She looked behind us and saw the rest of the pack along with Charlie and my dad, "Charlie so good to see you. Is Bella around; oh wait she's dead."

All of us growled and got ready for a fight when we heard the invisible hellhounds.

Jake do you have any ideas? Sam asked me through our bond.

No clue. I replied.

We heard the hellhounds leap for us but than saw flames and than the hellhounds appeared. They were burning and than they dropped dead.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Meg shouted. Than she looked past us, "You can't be here I killed you."

"Guess you really suck at your job." I heard Jo's familiar voice say. We all turned and saw Jo and Ellen coming towards us. "Hey we thought you could use some help." she said and stopped by my dad.

"How?" my dad asked.

Ellen laughed, "Not how Billy; who." and she pointed over to the demons.

I saw flames erupt and when they died down there stood my best friend who I had seen die almost a year ago. She smiled at the demons, "Miss me?" she asked.

"Get her!" Meg shouted, but they never got a chance. I watched as Bella smiled and than her eyes changed and it looked like they were on fire. She held out her hand and I saw black smoke coming out of the mouths of the people the demons were possessing.

She turned to Meg, "Here is what I want you to do. I want you to run to Lucifer and tell him that if he wants these guys he has to go through me."

Meg just shook her head and ran. Myself and the rest of the pack ran to go get some clothes. When we came back Charlie was crying and by then Emily had arrived as well.

I ran over to Bella and picked her up, "How are you alive?"

She laughed, "Oh don't get it wrong Jake I died and let me tell you it hurt like a bitch, but I came back. You didn't think I would leave you guys alone did you?" she than explained everything to us.

At first we were angry, but than we understood. "So what now?" Sam asked.

She smiled, "Well how would you feel about joining up on the hunt?" All of us whooped loudly and than she turned to Emily and my dad. "What do you two say; I can teach you how to fight Emily."

"Yes; where ever Sam goes I go." she said.

"Bella I can't I'm of no use like this." My dad said. It pained me to see him feel so useless.

"You're right so how about we fix it." Bella said and walked over to him. She placed her hand on his back and I saw them glowing. "Now stand up." she said and my dad did. I couldn't believe it and neither could anyone else. Than she walked over to Emily and did the same thing to her and healed her face.

Sam looked in awe and whispered a thank you to Bella.

Than Bella went over to her dad, "Ok enough with the heavy we got an evil son of a bitch devil to send back to hell and we still have to get the others. So go get packed and meet back here." she said. We ran to our houses and did as she said. Bella was back and everything was beginning to look up.

Bella's Point of View

Jo and Ellen had left to help the pack get ready which left dad and me to talk. Before I could say anything Dad said, "You have been around for a while haven't you?"

"Yes." was all I could say.

"Why do I have the feeling that you are going to leave again?" he asked

"Because I am." I said.

"Why?" he asked.

"If I don't I will watch all of you die to protect me and I can't bare that." I said close to tears.

He pulled me into a hug, "Shhhh Bella it's alright. I understand; I'm just glad to know you're alive even if you can't stay long."

I laughed, "Dad I never abandoned you; I have been watching and trying to help."

"I had a feeling you were. Listen let's not talk about it now; I gotta go get packed." he said kissing my forehead.

"Wait you're going?" I asked confused.

He was half way to his truck when he turned around, "Hell yes you don't think I'm going to just let you do all the work. If Billy is back in so am I; besides it will be good for you younger kids to learn from the masters."

He hopped in the truck and drove away; I couldn't help, but laugh. Maybe this wasn't going to be too bad.
