Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's ne day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your head to the wind
There's a world outside ev'ry darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
Break down the garden's gate
There's not much time left today
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once
But now we look in the eye
There ain't no load that I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Chapter 4:
Visions of a Swan and Singer
The purple haired girl was throwing a couple of bags into the trunk of the baby blue Mustang with a slight smirk on her face as she hummed Riot by Three Days Grace. She turned toward Bella as the other girl approached and asked in a slightly husky tone of sounding unsure. "You sure you really want to do this?" Even though she was giving the other female a way out her eyes said that she didn't want to do whatever she had to do by herself.
Bella rolled her eyes at the purple haired girl and punched her in the arm making her squeak and glare in Bella's direction who promptly ignored the glare like she was overly use to it. "You are not going on your own! You came back to ask me to come and you are not getting rid of me that easily!"
"Alright, alright…" The other girl threw up her hands in surrender with the faint traces of a smirk still on her face. "No need to bite my head off… I just had to ask… I feel like I am pulling you back in…"
Giving a sigh, Bella leaned against the Mustang giving her friend a hard look like she was close to punching the girl in the arm again. "There is no pulling me back in, Jasmine. Technically I never left and now we are doing what we use to do. Going on a roadtrip, this time for a different reason."
The girl now known as Jasmine grinned and nodded in response. "Alright, Bells, you win. Could never say no to you anyway." Jasmine didn't look upset at that fact but was actually chuckling. "I don't know who is better at the puppy face you or Sam." She froze at the words she just said and looked down at the ground.
Bella wrapped Jasmine in a hug and the other girl clung to her a moment, a few tears rolling down her face before she pulled away trying to wipe at the wetness in her eyes before Bella said something. "Listen, Jazz… Sammy is tough and stubborn like the rest of us. He is alright and eventually we will catch both their rear ends."
Jasmine nodded before forcing a grin on to her face. "Thanks… For everything… What would we do without you."
Bella smirked as she started to walk away back toward the house. "You three would crash and burn… crash and burn." She chuckled seeing Jasmine stick her tongue out at her. "I have a couple other things that I want to take with me and then all we have to do is wait until Dad comes home and we can get on the road before it gets too dark."
Alice came from her vision and her golden eyes automatically turned to Edward who she knew had seen exactly what she had seen in her vision and hoped that he could shed some light on what the girls were talking about. The Cullens had gotten to the place they were staying back in the woods far away from Forks to hunt where no humans would really come into being back so far and away from humanity. Esme and Carlisle had already gone off looking to see where the herds of deer were and Rosalie and Emmett was off doing who knows what leaving Alice, Edward, and Jasper back at camp. Jasper was leaning against a tree watching the other two as Alice had her vision and the moment he knew it was over moved in behind her and settled down with her, wrapping his arms around her. The pixie like vampire leaned into her mate's arms, turning to give him a quick smile before focusing her attention on to Edward again.
"Edward, do you know the girl that is with Bella in my vision?" Alice asked and when Edward shook his head Alice frowned and crossed her arms looking confused. "Well, what we do know is that the girl's name is Jasmine and she is the one that owns that baby blue Mustang. That she is upset over someone named Sam and thinks she is pulling Bella back into something. And that the two of them are planning some sort of roadtrip."
Edward let out an angry growl and shook his head. "How could she think of just going off on her own without me? Why is my poor, sweet, clumsy Bella suddenly changing on me? Could it have something to do with that girl? Is she a bad influence on my angel?" He questioned softly only getting shrugs from Alice and Jasper who were both watching Edward as he was trying to think of what he could do. "If Bella thinks I am going to let her start hanging with the wrong crowd and get into whatever that girl is trying to drag her into, it isn't happening." He pulled out his cell phone and quickly dialed Bella's number. "She isn't going anywhere with that girl even if I have to go back and drag her to our house for the week."

The two girls had finished packing Bella's couple of bags into the mustang and Jasmine had slammed her trunk closed giving Bella a bright smile as she turned to face her seeing a pair of sad chocolate brown eyes looking at her. "Bella, what is wrong?" Jasmine asked not liking to see that peculiar look, the look of "someone killed my puppy" and always made Jasmine want to shot someone for hurting the younger girl.
"What if we don't find them, Jazz? What if they are hidden so good this time that we never catch up with them?" Bella was finally voicing her worry aloud to her friend.
Jasmine moved so that she was standing right in front of her friend and placed a hand on the younger girl's shoulder. "We will find them. I can't see this playing out any other way. I don't want to think of any other possibility." She remarked trying not to give into her own fear. "Don't start panicking on me now. I need you to hold it together until we can get them back. Can you do that for me, Bells?"
Bella took a deep breath and then nodded at Jasmine causing her hair to fall into her face and she blew it out of her face angrily. "Yeah, I can. I'm sorry. Everything just all hitting at once." The other girl didn't reply verbally but squeezed the female's shoulder in comfort before pulling her hand away and nodded back in return to her. After a moment of silence, Bella spoke up again and motioned for them to head back into the house. "Dad should be home soon. We can talk to him about it when he gets in and while we eat. I am going to throw a roast and vegetables in the oven. Do you want to help?" With her friend's nod of agreement Bella led the way inside and soon the two of them had gotten the roast beef and fresh vegetables into oven cooking.
A ring tone suddenly went off on Bella's phone and she froze knowing just who's ring tone that was and honestly wasn't sure if she wanted to answer it or not. She knew though that if she didn't answer it would only make the person on the other end actually come to the house and with their speed her and Jasmine would definitely not get far before he caught up. Also Bella knew she had to tell him at least the basics that she was planning otherwise he would be thoroughly upset that she didn't say a word to him before just taking off to who knows where. Giving Jasmine a look that she was excusing herself, Bella went up to her room and quickly picked up the cell phone. "Hello?"
"Bella, love… Alice had a vision of you leaving with that girl in the Mustang… I don't think that is such a good idea."
Bella froze for a moment wondering just what Alice saw and if she knew just what secrets Bella was keeping from them now. "And why is it not such a good idea Edward? It is a roadtrip with someone I have known since I was five." She tried to remain calm knowing that he really didn't understand what was going on.
"I really don't think it is a good idea for you to go off to places without me. Especially if this girl is dragging you into whatever mess she is in."
Edward's words gave her a big clue to exactly what Alice had seen in her vision and Bella hoped to be able to use that to her advantage in this situation. "Edward, what she meant by dragging me into things is nothing. She always overreacts and why can't I go on a week long roadtrip with a friend of mine without you?"
There was what sounded like a frustrated sigh on the other side of the phone. "It didn't sound like it was just nothing. You have been acting weird the past week, I think this friend might be a bad influence on you. I don't think going without me is good thing."
Bella found that each word that Edward's velvet voice spoke was not soothing her like it use to and instead she felt her temper rising along with feeling smothered. "Jasmine had nothing to do with how I have been acting and she is the last person to be a bad influence on me!" Taking a deep breath after realizing she was yelling, Bella continued more calmly. "Listen Edward, you can't go with us. This is something just between me and her. I have known her forever," She stressed again. "She won't let anything happen to me."
From the silence for a moment on his end of the phone, Bella wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not. "Does Charlie know about this? I don't think he would approve."
She pressed back a chuckle at Edward trying to play the father card. "He doesn't know yet." Bella cut him off the second when he tried to speak to more than likely to press the point he had. "But will I tell him when he gets home, Dad won't have a problem. He trusts Jasmine, she is like a niece to him." She remarked, her own way of digging into her vampire boyfriend.
There was another frustrated groan from Edward's side of the phone and Bella actually grinned at that knowing she was holding her own and feeling powerful for once in their relationship. "Bella, honestly, I am trying to be understanding but I really don't want you far away from me. I don't want to see you hurt. If I have to come and take you from your house and keep you at mine until the end of the week I will."
At the beginning of Edward's words Bella felt bad that she was giving him such a hard time when he just wanted her to be safe, but the moment he said about taking her away she had about enough. "Hell, no, Edward! I am not spending my week at your house! I am going with my friend for the week! I have the right to go with my friends when I please. I understand you being worried about me, but I will be fine, always am with Jasmine. I am going and that is final." She had started out yelling but at the end was talking normally realizing just how loud she was getting.
"Alright, love, but we need to talk when you get back." It seemed Edward was giving up for the moment but Bella knew when she got back he was going to try and lecture her on being unsafe and arguing with him when he was trying to protect her.
"Yes, we need to talk when I get back. There is something I need to tell you anyway." Bella responded with a sigh gripping hard at her cell phone.
"I will talk to you later then. Love you, Bella."
"Love you too, Edward." Bella responded softly, relaxing once he hung up the phone and set her phone aside to see Jasmine standing in the open door with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Everything okay, Bells? Someone giving you a hard time." Jasmine asked her violet eyes promising pain if someone was making a nuisance of themselves.
"Yeah, everything is okay. My boyfriend is just not happy that I am going on a roadtrip with a friend that he has never met." Bella responded and seeing the look Jasmine was giving her she sighed again softly. "I will explain more about him once we hit the road, there isn't enough time now to explain well enough."
Jasmine nodded, Bella's answer to her was enough for now because she could tell whatever it was, it was bothering her even if the other female wouldn't admit it to her. She also knew that Dean being back had thrown a wrench into whatever type of relationship Bella and this boyfriend of hers had because she could tell that Bella's love for Dean had not faded at all.
Bella went to respond when the front door opened and closed and she heard her father's voice filter from downstairs. "Bella, who is here? I don't recognize the Mustang."
Before Bella could say anything Jasmine had darted out of the room and to the top of the stairs. "Uncle Charlie!" She heard her father's laughter and feet running down the stairs to meet the footsteps coming toward the stairs. To Bella the laughter and pleasant conversation of her father and Jasmine made things feel like old times to the young woman and she in that moment felt completely safe. There was catching up on old times between the three of them during dinner, but the girls were waiting until toward the end to speak about Dean being back and wanting to go search for the boys.
"Okay, girls. What is it that you are not telling me? I can see on your faces that you have something to say that will probably throw me into a heart attack." Charlie broke the silence that had fallen over the table. Between the two females they explained about Dean's escape from Hell and the fact that the boys had never contacted them about it. They also brought up the roadtrip they had planned and already packed for if Charlie would let Bella go with Jasmine. Charlie at first didn't know what to say or do learning that Dean is was alive only days after finding out that he had been dragged to Hell. And now on top of it his daughter and a young woman he thought of like his daughter wanted to follow a quickly fading trail to catch up with these boys, it was a lot to take in.
The girls waited will baited breath for Charlie's verdict, Jasmine knowing that if Bella couldn't go she wouldn't be going as she couldn't leave the female behind again after spending the afternoon with her best friend. "So, you ladies are all packed and ready to hit the road after the Winchesters if I give you a yes?" They both nodded and looked at him hoping upon hope he would let them go. "I will let you go on one condition."
"What is that, Dad?" Bella asked quietly with her fingers crossed underneath the table watching Charlie as he finished chewing his food.
"That you drag those idiot boys back here so I can kick both their asses myself."
Both girls started laughing. "You have a deal!" They chorused together in reply.

It didn't take long for the girls to have the dishes done and ready to get on the road after they both gave Charlie a hug with promises that they would be careful as they could while looking for the boys. He went back inside and the girls got into the car before Jasmine pulled out her own cell phone and started dialing. "Hey, Dad…"
"Well, young lady. Finally decided that your father was important huh?"
"I have to call you once in awhile to make sure that you are still alive." Jasmine chuckled softly in the phone. "I have Bells with me. We are going to track down the idjits."
"You don't waste time do you, Jazz?" Bobby's voice sounded amused as he spoke. "Hey, Bells!"
"Hi, Uncle Bobby!" Bella responded with a laugh.
"Well, I don't want to hold you girls up too long, but this is all I can give you on the boys. They were last spotted in a small town outside Havre, Montana. I have two favors to ask of you before you get there though. One, I want a shot at those boys when you find them-"
Jasmine cut him off with a smirk across her face. "Uncle Charlie has dibs on that first. It was the only way I was allowed to take Bella."
There was a snort from Bobby at the other end of the line. "I will have to talk to that man about who gets first dibs on those idjits… But anyway, the second thing I need is for you two stop in Mason County, Washington… At least five people have died in the swamps out there in the past couple of weeks. No one can figure out what is happening, there is rumors that people have been seeing a monster in the swamps there. Can you girls stop and check it out? Let me know if it natural or not and if not take it out."
Bella and Jasmine looked at each other before nodding at each other. "No problem Dad. We can handle it."
"Thanks girls. Be safe. Talk to you soon." Bobby hung up and Jasmine tossed her phone to the side.
"Well, it will take about three hours to get to Mason County so after we get there we should get a motel for the night and then start fresh in the morning." Jasmine remarked with a smirk.
"Sounds like a plan." Bella chuckled with an evil grin.
"Creature from the Black Lagoon!" She chorused with Jasmine before busting out laughing with the other girl as neither could hold it in anymore as Jasmine pulled out on to the road.

Bella stood beside the Mustang as Jasmine seemed to be digging into the trunk looking for something. "So now that we know what it is, how are we dealing with it?"
Jasmine looked up with a smirk holding up what looked like homemade explosives. "Household chemicals in the right portions."
"Homemade bombs, Jazz?" Bella shook her head causing strands to float around her face. "You are worse than Dean and his salting and burning obsession."
The other girl just chuckled grinning evilly.
The vision shifted from the Mustang to a swamp.
"Why am I bait?" Bella wailed dramatically stepping close to the edge of the swamp dropping in rotten chicken pieces. "I am too young too die!"
Jasmine roared with laughter. "Stop being so melodramatic, Hells Bells. You can get out now. The chicken is better bait anyway."
Bella stuck out her tongue in reply and Jasmine smiled brightly in return to the other female completely unaffected.
Alice came out of her visions and looked at Edward with wide eyes. "Just what exactly are these girls doing on this roadtrip?"
Edward pinched his fingers against his nose and tried to calm himself. "She is not a bad influence…. Uh, huh…. I knew I should have brought her back to the house…"
Jasper broke into any other thoughts Edward would say. "Why don't we wait and give her the week like she wished and then we ask her. Going after her now might cause more harm than good."
The other two vampires agreed after a moment realizing that Jasper was right and knew they couldn't cut their hunting trip short otherwise it might annoy the rest of the family who was coming through the woods toward them. Things were getting interesting though and the feeling that Bella was hiding something important was becoming quite clear.
