So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know (yeah!)
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
No nothing else matters

Chapter Two:
Bad Decisions and Unanswered Calls
Charlie sat at his desk in his office just staring at the few pictures that was sitting there mocking him that he had failed to save two important people in his family's lives. He frowned at the picture of him and John that was taken by Bobby right after their first hunt together where the two men had gotten beat up trying to take on a peculiar vicious woman in white. Charlie had been new to the police department and at that time there was a string of unsolved bloody murders of young males in the area right off the main highway into Forks. While he had been investigating the most recent murder he ran across John and Bobby pretending to be State Cops coming into help with the case. He was leery of the other two males and their back story and because of that Charlie ended up in the middle of something he hadn't never expected to deal with.
Following John and Bobby in the middle of the night Charlie got an eyeful of just what type of things that go bump in the night and got a crash course on being a hunter. After everything was said and done the three ended up at Charlie's place trying to recover and Bobby had snapped him and John's picture as they were leaning against Bobby's truck. It had been a rocky start to their friendship but through training and hunting together the three had become like brothers which made Charlie take John's death hard. He felt that maybe if he had continued hunting that John may still be alive and maybe it would have saved Dean and Sam as well with both the older males still around to help.
He turned his head slightly and bit his lip when his eyes fell on another picture, this one showing Dean and Sam with Bella and Jasmine in the salvage yard. In the picture Dean had one of his arms around each of Bella and Jasmine's shoulders and Sam had an arm wrapped around Jasmine's waist who was sporting her pink streaked hair. The four of them were happy and carefree back then but now were separated and all in pain, Dean in the pain called Hell, Sammy and Jasmine in the pain of grief, and Bella going through the pain of remembering. Charlie wished helplessly that things somehow turn out alright and the four younger hunters would be back together as one once again. He didn't want to see his precious daughter go back into a zombie state again like she had been right after Edward and his family had just up and left.
Charlie wondered now if he made the right choice in letting the Cullens stay in Forks when they first arrived and realized what the family actually really was. John had also known about the Cullens being vampires after coming to visit for a weekend and after watching the coven for awhile they decided to leave them alone as they didn't seem to drink from humans. But after how Edward had treated Bella and left her in the woods made Charlie rethink the whole family if that is how they acted with a girl was basically put them at the center of her world. Charlie should have known right there that something was wrong when despite his warnings not to get too close that Bella had fallen for a creature she would normally make a hunt out of. Then against his better judgment and thoughts he had let Bella date Edward Cullen which ended up her being hurt emotionally like Charlie could never imagine.
It was the biggest mistake he ever made letting them date and he swore while his daughter was zombie mode that he could John's voice saying to never let the Cullens near Bella again. When the Cullens came back Charlie was very reluctant to let Edward near Bella though he knew how stubborn Bella was when she wanted something and he wouldn't be able to stop her. He could see that she was actually healing with the Cullens coming back into her life along with the help of having Jacob Black as her best friend which was the only reason he ignored John's warning in his head. Bella was slowly becoming normal again and Charlie was happy that she was acting more like her old self which made him hope that her suppressed memory about Dean's death raising up wouldn't push her back. The puzzle pieces of Bella's reaction to Edward leaving was starting to make sense to him, Edward's abandonment had unconsciously brought the feelings of Dean's death to the surface.
Her fear of being left behind by people she cared about whether it was someone dying or just up and leaving her, Bella just wanted to be needed. Bella didn't realize it but there was plenty of people that needed her, he needed her, Sammy needed her wherever he was, Jasmine and Bobby needed her. She always had the worst of self confidence despite the three older kids constantly trying to help with it only for them to get frustrated with Bella. It was actually kind of funny for Charlie to think of now remembering just how hard Jasmine and Sammy tried to get her to look at herself in a different light but it seemed it only took a couple of words from Dean for Bella to hold her head a little higher with a bright blush. He wondered what Dean and Sammy would think seeing their little girl dating a bloodsucking vampire and actually had to snicker at imaging their gob-smack expressions.
Charlie let out a soft sigh as he went back to staring at the photographs of the children, he knew there would be trouble once Sammy came to his senses from his grief and came to see Bella. He knew how Dean and Sam handled any male that even looked at Bella or Jasmine the wrong way and when Sammy learns that Bella was dating a vampire it would not be pretty especially if he learned about Bella's catacomb days. He clearly remembered what happened last time a male hurt Bella and just what had happened right after that.
A twenty-three year old Dean, a nineteen year old Sam, and a nineteen year old Jasmine were sitting around the living room area playing Blackjack 21 and gambling for candy that they were throwing into the center of the coffee table. Charlie, John, and Bobby were in the kitchen drinking and talking about all the cold trails of the demon that they were trying to track. They were all waiting for a fourteen year old Bella to come back from a movie in town with some friends that she had made recently. Dean was trying to hog all his M&M's making the two younger players laugh at the pained expression on his face that he would have to part with his precious M&Ms.
Everything had just gotten quiet when Dean's cell phone went off playing AC/DC's Back in Black and he picked it up frowning as he answered it. "Baby Girl?" He questioned making Sam and Jasmine whip their heads toward him close enough to where they could have whiplash. They looked confused at Dean hearing a faint sobbing voice coming through the phone and just looking at his face as it darkened in anger with whatever Bella was saying was enough to scare them both. "Alright, calm down…" Despite the anger in his face Dean's voice was soothing and calm only confusing his two gambling partners even more. "Sammy and I are on our way." He hung up the cell and motioned for Sam to follow him and at the same time motioned that Jasmine should stay put on the couch.
The two males were gone for not quite a half hour while Jasmine was questioned over and over by the three adults why the Winchester brothers just suddenly took off. The sound of the impala pulling up was a sigh of relief for Jasmine until Sam came in holding the door for Dean who stepped inside carrying a shaking Bella in his arms.
"What the hell happened, boys?" Bobby and Charlie roared at the same time while John just got an angry look on his face similar to the expression that his oldest son was wearing at the moment.
Dean looked at his brother to explain as he moved upstairs to take Bella up to the bedroom she was sharing with Jasmine while the Swans were visiting. Jasmine followed him up deciding she would rather be with her sister-like figure than to hear exactly happened at the movies. She gasped as Dean laid Bella down on her bed and she grabbed Dean's hand seeing his bloody knuckles like he had hit something or someone. "I'm fine…" He muttered pulling his hand back from the pink haired girl and sat at the edge of Bella's bed trying to calm her with his voice. Bella had eventually cried herself to sleep but her hand was clenching at Dean's injured one like it was her only lifeline at the moment.
Downstairs Sam explained that Bella called wanting the boys to come get her because one of the boys in their group that had gone to the movies was trying to get fresh with her. She had gotten scared and abandoned the movie when the guy tried to stick his tongue down her throat making her slap him make for the door. The boys had gotten there just in time to see the guy come out and try to grab Bella's arm and both the Winchesters had saw red. "I grabbed Bella and pulled her away from the idiot. The next thing I knew Dean had busted his knuckles on the guy's jaw. We high tailed it with Bella after that…"
Charlie started cursing and pacing wanting to threat the young male ass that had scared his daughter but he couldn't do anything, not if he wanted to bring attention to the fact that Dean had hit him.
Another sigh came from the police chief's lips before shaking his head. Oh… How he knew those boys and Jasmine would protect Bella and anyone beware that would try and hurt her.

There was howling and snarling…
Scratching and more howling as dark things tried to find their way in…
Dark creatures bounding in the doors and windows…
The smell of blood and sulfur filling everywhere making anyone feel sick…
Dean's lifeless body laying there before her and Sammy…
The dream shifted to the wooded area of Forks.
Edward was standing there with a smirk on his face. "I don't want you anymore. You mean nothing to me. You were foolish to love a dark creature like me…"
"Edward, please don't leave…. I already feel all alone…" She begged afraid seeing that his smirk only grew.
"That is your problem. You will never be truly loved."
The dream shifted for a second time, this time to her and Edward's Meadow.
Victoria was there flickering around her showing her the speed of the vampire. "Aww… Poor little human… One love dead and you are slowly pulling yourself from the other two that seem to care…" She stopped moving for a second before approaching Bella. "I can get rid of your pain, just let me kill you…."
Victoria moved to bite her…
The dream shifted for the last time, to an unknown place.
There was screams of people being tortured and the smell of sulfur and blood was mingling in the air so bad that it was almost sickening. It was so over powering that it would be enough for anyone to be ill from everything and she shuddered as the screams got louder. Then there was the screams from a voice that she never thought she would hear again. "Sammy! Bella! Please! Someone get me the hell out of here!"
The sounds of more torture drowned out the sounds of Dean's voice but a picture of him all bloody and being tortured by unknown demons…
Bella woke up and made a mad dash for the bathroom and throwing up as she clung to the toilet while she was still sobbing helplessly. The scent of blood and sulfur still invading her senses like she would never be able to scrub it away, no matter how hard she tried to wash the scent or drown the smell away. This was the reason she couldn't stand the scent of blood and felt faint, watching someone being torn apart by hellhounds and their blood everywhere would be enough to make almost anyone feel the same as her.
It took a long time before Bella could calm down from this nightmare, everything had felt so real and every time she thought of Dean screaming out for her help she burst into tears once again. Bella finally stood up from the bathroom floor and looked at herself in the bathroom mirror and frowned at her swollen, red eyes that was all puffy from crying before turning away in a huff. She made her way out of the bathroom and down the stairs back to the kitchen and sat down unsure what she really wanted to do now, actually a little afraid of what she had to do now. The nightmare still had her part way in it's grip but she knew if she let the nightmare rule her, Bella would never make the phone call to Jasmine like she said she would. She would just sink back down and more than likely get closer to that she felt like only months before which she promised herself that she would never do again.
Picking up her cell phone with a determined look, Bella dialed an old familiar number and then waited with baited breath to see if the person on the other end would pick up. It rang and rang before she heard something that despite everything had her busting out laughing carefree like.
"Hello. This is Jasmine Singer. I can't come to the phone right now as I am hunting a jackass. If this is an emergency please call my father, Bobby. Though if you really need to speak to me, leave me your name and number after the tone."
Bella didn't leave a message but she felt a lot better for it seemed that Jasmine wasn't taking Sammy disappearance laying down as Jasmine would only call one person a jackass and Sam was it. He had earned that nickname from her on one of the first cases the four of them had done together. If Jasmine was still fighting back and trying to make it, it meant that Bella couldn't roll over either and she knew in that moment that it might take awhile but she wasn't beaten. She could stand on her own feet and she would make her father, her Uncle John, Dean, and all the others proud of her. This was just the beginning of her uphill climb though but she was ready to fight, something was changing and Bella knew that she had to be ready to meet it.
