H8rslovemecauseI'mawesome: I am glad you like it so far. Thank you.
an all consuming love: Thank you. I hope you like this new chapter as well.
ccgnme: You are right. Edward isn't quite done yet, but it will be awhile before Bella's final blow up. Thank you and I hope you like this chapter too.
Sandra: You're welcome and I hope you like this chapter just as much. I don't think you will have to wait too long for their reunion. Probably around four more chapters if I keep the storyline like it is and the fireworks will be awesome! Hehe And thank you, I will try.
MidsummerNightDreams: I am glad that you like the story. I do apologize though as Edward will be acting like this for awhile yet. Oh, yes, when Bella tells them the Cullens are in for a shock. Thank you, I wasn't sure at first about putting Jasmine into the story when she popped into my head while creating the main storyline. And I agree with you that Bobby would make a good dad and upsets me too that he never had kids which is why I decided to keep Jasmine in the story. The explosion and fireworks when they all meet up will be awesome! Hehe And it's not hard to guess which couple will cause the explosion and which couple will create fireworks. Lol
HeavyMetalChick: Thank you very much and I am so happy that you are enjoying the story so far. And you will find out soon what they are hunting and just what they do about the thing. Hehe
RougeReaper: So glad that you enjoyed his reaction. And I hope the update was fast enough for you. ^.^ And now I am hungry for ice cream. lol
And thanks to everyone who put this story on their favorites or is now following it.
Also I would like to thank my best friend who actually gave me the idea for the next couple of chapters. ^.^ The chapters of this case is dedicated to you.
Hey everyone! I want your opinion on something. I have the main storyline pretty much planned out but I have two different scenarios in my head that I both like as the setting for Bella and Jasmine's reunion with the Winchester brothers. So I leave it up to you. I don't want to give away too much but here are the two options. Please just leave your opinions in your reviews.
1) They meet in the middle of a difficult case that the boys stumble upon the girls during.
2) They meet in the middle of a bar fight when they don't realize the other two are in the bar.
Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural or Twilight and never will. They belong to their respective owners and I am using the characters for fun. Only Jasmine Singer belongs to me.

Chapter 5:
Creature from the Black Lagoon Part 1
It was probably only about six o'clock in the morning but Jasmine Singer couldn't sleep anymore especially after having to wake Bella from nightmares twice during the night. Last night had been bad enough not to turn around and go back to Forks for some vampire hunting, but now in the silence of their shared motel Jasmine was seriously wondering if she could go to Forks and back before Bella woke up. On their way to Mason County Bella had spilled everything about the Cullen family to her older sister figure from the moment she was sent to Forks to the last phone conversation with Edward. Jasmine for the most part had remained silent and let Bella talk even though she was itching to make comments because she could tell the younger female needed to get everything out in the open. It hadn't been easy for her to adjust to the idea that Bella was dating a vampire and the conversation that followed wasn't the easiest of talks but it did open Bella's eyes to some things.
"Bella, I love you but a male vampire…" Jasmine's violet eyes had gone wide once Bella had finished her story and Jasmine finally spoke up. "I can understand the attraction I guess, for I have heard they are very alluring. I can see why you gave him a chance in the beginning the way you described him, but why take him back after all the heart ache he caused?"
There was a sigh from Bella as she was afraid how the other female was going to react to just how bad off she had actually been. "Because I was just so happy that him and his family came back after the zombie like state that I had been in when they first left, it made me feel better again. And the fact that I was just lonely even with Dad around, it was like I was still apart of the supernatural things even it I wasn't hunting. That and I think I still care Edward a lot." Bella had finally admitted things aloud to someone else and Jasmine was now starting to feel really guilty.
"I am sorry, Bella. I should have been there for you. I am so sorry that I made you feel so lonely. I should have fought more with Dad to see you." Jasmine said softly sounding completely sad and upset that she had let Bella alone in the situation.
Bella looked over at her friend and shook her head, unable to speak for a moment at the fact that Jasmine was blaming herself for everything. "It is not your fault." Bella stressed at the purple haired girl placing a hand on Jasmine's shoulder. "It is I guess just what was suppose to happen. Moving to Forks and suppressing Dean's death I think along with the liking of Edward's protection is what caused this whole mess. It doesn't help that I have fallen for Edward despite the fact that his protection is sometimes smothering now. It is something that I have to deal with."
"Speaking of Dean… What about your feelings toward him?" Jasmine finally asked the question that was on her mind since she learned Bella had a boyfriend.
"I really don't know what I am going to do about this mess though I know I have to figure it out. I love them both and at the same time they both can annoy me to no end for very different reasons…" Bella took a deep breath looking at Jasmine before deciding to continue. "It may sound a little strange, but I get the feeling once I see Dean again face to face things will make sense."
Jasmine chuckled and also shook her head. "No, it doesn't sound strange to me, Bella. Sometimes it just takes one person to help you put your head back on straight and see things correctly." After a moment she spoke again to Bella while shifting gears in the Mustang, "So no matter your decision you're telling this Edward everything?"
Bella nodded while pulling her hair back into a ponytail before playing nervously with her purse. "Yeah, he deserves the truth. I hate keeping things from people I care about and whether I choose him or go after Dean he still deserves the truth.." She responded to Jasmine's question.
"Are you going to explain to the boys about him either way?" The spiky haired female asked as well knowing the reaction the Winchester brothers would give would be worse if they found out about Edward on their own. They would still be upset even if Bella told them but between the two girls they could keep the guys from going on a rampage. Option two was certainly the better one.
"I know they need to know and once we all get settled after finding them I will tell them." Bella responded giving a shy smile when Jasmine nodded her approval.
"They are not going to be exactly happy about him being a vampire if you choose Edward. I am not exactly happy either but I know how stubborn you can be…" Jasmine finished the conversation with a tease making Bella roll her eyes in response.
Jasmine had been glad when they had finally gotten to the motel the night before to try and wrap her head around everything Bella had been through recently and she felt more guilty. Now, as she waited for Bella to wake up she was on her laptop that she had packed when she left her house trying to get details on what was happening in the area to try and get an idea on what the two of them were up against. She had confirmed what her father had told them the night before that there had been five victims so far in the past few weeks in an area of the swamps around the area known to the locals as "the Black Lagoon". Jasmine wanted to laugh at the fact that they had been joking about it being the Creature from the Black Lagoon last night after Bobby had first told them about the case but now maybe it wasn't so funny. Could they have some sort of swamp monster killing people that was coming into the swamps inside Mason County, if it was it was definitely something new for the Hunters's record books.
Bella woke up to hearing the quiet typing of Jasmine's laptop and wanted to snicker at how alike Jasmine and Sam were sometimes at least when it came to doing thorough research on cases. Sam was the one that usually did most of the research, but Jasmine would help Sam when he asked or when they were all separated like they were at the moment. She could tell as her eyes adjusted to the dim lights that Jasmine must not have gotten much sleep from the dark bags that were under her eyes and Bella flushed embarrassed. Bella hated the fact that it was because of Bella's nightmares that Jasmine had been up all night trying to keep her friend from the nightmare plaguing her almost every night now. She didn't want to admit it but she had bad dreams of Dean being tortured in Hell even though she knew he was safely out Bella could still hear Dean screaming their names making her sob.
Dean wasn't the only one that haunted her dreams as Edward was there to taunt her and make her feel even worse about herself along with Victoria always trying to kill her. Between the three of them in her dreams Bella felt like she was slowly going insane and as she gripped her pillow not wanting to quite get up yet after her latest nightmare. She brushed the tears that was threatening to fall from her eyes and bit back any noise that would come from the fact that Bella was unable to stop her sobs.
The howls of the Hellhounds and the ripping of flesh along with the smell of sulfur was enough to make anyone sick when they weren't even there. The screams of Dean still being tortured was terrifying. "Sam! Bella! I'll even take Jazzie at this point! I don't know how much more I can take!"
"Jazz?" Bella asked finally after rolling out of bed, forcing herself to forget the dream and taking a quick shower and getting dressed for what she knew would be a long day. "Did you find anything?" She didn't take the time to dry her hair but instead put her hair back into a long ponytail as she stepped into the main room of the motel wearing a clean pair of dark jeans and a blue, short-sleeved, button-up shirt. Bella frowned when she didn't get an answer from the other female before letting out a loud laugh startling Jasmine out of her thoughts.
"What is so funny, Bells?" Jasmine asked looking confused, the look on her face making Bella laugh even harder.
Bella grinned at Jasmine's still confused face. "The fact that you haven't changed much because once you get into your research you forget everything around you." Seeing her old friend glaring at her, Bella smirked at her. "Don't glare at me when you know it is true, Jazz. You won't win no matter what." She said cheerfully.
Deciding to ignore Bella's smirk Jasmine stood up while shutting the laptop lid down and stepping to her bed picking up the jacket she had there. She slipped it on and Bella caught the words "Singer's Salvage Auto" on the back and "Jasmine" written on the front of the jacket where the breast pocket would be. Bella realized the jacket must be new because she clearly remembered Jasmine using the old one to try and stop Sammy from bleeding when he had been killed the same night Dean made the deal. To both two girls that would be a night forever etched into their minds as it was the night their worlds were flipped upside down and inside out. "Come on," Jasmine spoke holding the now open motel door. "We can talk about details of the case while getting some breakfast at the diner I saw down the street."
Snapping out of her morbid thoughts, Bella followed Jasmine out the door and locked it before getting into the passenger seat of the Mustang as Jasmine started the car. It was a silent ride to the diner but not an uncomfortable silence, just a normal silence between two sister figures that could communicate without words. They entered the diner after the older girl had parked to find that it was still quite early and there wasn't anyone but the waitresses and now them. The one waitress with the name tag that said Colleen motioned that the two of them could take a seat anywhere and they sat down in a booth close to the door to watch for who could be an enemy. It was a habit ingrained in both girls by John and Bobby and they had to admit the action had saved their lives many times.
"What can I get you girls?" The waitress Colleen asked sitting menus in front of the two girls with an honest smile, a pad and pen at the ready.
"A cup of coffee, please." Jasmine responded quickly looking at the menu.
"And some hot chocolate for me." Bella added giving the blonde waitress a smile who nodded and went to get their drinks.
Colleen returned quickly enough with their drinks and took their food orders into the cook with a quiet effectiveness Bella and Jasmine could appreciate. The girls had a silent agreement that they wouldn't talk about the case until their food arrived knowing their discussion wouldn't be disturbed as quickly by the waitress checking on them. They were both hungry enough that the food didn't seem to come as fast to them and they both thanked Colleen happily when she brought their breakfast before digging in. "So what did you find out?" Bella asked again as she cut into the waffles she had sitting before her.
"Well, I learned that five people have disappeared in the past three weeks like Dad said and despite search parties they haven't found trace of the bodies yet." Jasmine started to explain as she buttered the toast that came with her eggs. "And funny enough the locals around here call the swamps nearby 'the Black Lagoon'."
Bella blinked looking quite shocked at what the swamps were nicknamed by the people in the area. "It is really called 'the Black Lagoon'?" After composing herself she looked over at Jasmine with a more serious expression. "Five people considered dead so far? And somehow a legend of a swamp monster maybe involved?"
Taking a moment to chew her toast and eggs, Jasmine took in Bella's serious expression. "Yeah, five so far. A pair of brothers, Jermey and Roan Sparks disappeared a little less than three weeks ago when they were suppose to be hunting." She stopped speaking for a second while she took a sip of her coffee. "Then just about two weeks ago a couple, Daphne Jacey and Barden Maxinen disappeared while camping." Frowning, Jasmine leaned back in her chair and the look on her face meant what she was about to say wasn't pleasant. " The most recent was an eight year old by the name of Lillias Rosheen about five days ago. From what I learned a couple of older kids dared her to go into the swamp by herself and she never came out."
The younger brunette let Jasmine's words settle into her head along with the waffles she had just consumed. "That is so sad." She gave a soft sigh. "So what are we going to do first?"
Jasmine explained in low tones about how they were going to speak to some of the relatives of the victims and locals to get their thoughts on what could be happening. Then once they talked to everyone they could then do some more research before heading out to the swamp to do some investigating in the night. By the time that night would fall they should have all that information they needed to take out whatever creature they were dealing with. While she was finish explaining their plan of action they had ate all of their breakfast and Jasmine had laid down a tip for Colleen and paid for their meal. Once that was all done both girls stood up and made their way back to the Mustang and then to their motel room where the females changed clothes to speak with the relatives of the victims.

Bella and Jasmine stood in front of the house belonging to Felton and Faye Sparks dressed in clothes that looked like would belong to wildlife officers. Jasmine knocked on the door and after a few moments an older woman with dark hair starting to grow gray answered the door. Jasmine had put on her game face and asked in an even tone, "Mrs. Sparks?"
"Yes? Can I help you ladies?" Faye Sparks's voice sounded as old as she looked, like the poor woman had aged quickly in a very short time.
"Hello, Ma'am. I am Collette Jacques and this is my intern Rebecca Morrison. We are from the Wildlife Reserve of the Mason County swamps. I know this might not be the best of time but we would like to ask you some questions about what happened to your sons."
The older woman and her husband Felton Sparks who was starting to bald invited them into the house and after some light prodding Jasmine and Bella learned that the boys had gone on a weekend hunting trip scouting to see where herds of deer were and what the numbers were like. They didn't come back Sunday night like they promised and by Monday afternoon the Sparks had filed a missing person's report on their adult sons. A search party had gone through the swamp but no one was seen and no bodies were found by the party. The girls were hesitant to ask anymore questions when Faye started crying and after giving their condolences they left.
It was the same routine at the Maxinen House with Kirk and Tessica Maxinen at the disappearance of their son Barden along with his girlfriend Daphne. They had gone on a weekend camping trip into the swamp and didn't show back up Sunday night like they were suppose to. A search party was sent out but nothing was found just like with the Sparks brothers and they left quickly when Tessica started crying begging them to find their lost son. The two females got nowhere with Payton Jacey, the mother of Daphne who was Barden's girlfriend for the second they tried to talk to her the woman said she wanted no part of any investigation and to her Barden Maxinen was responsible for what happened to her daughter.
The last house is what both females were dreading the most as Jasmine knocked on the door before holding her breath. When the female at this house opened the door you could see she had been crying at the red around her blue eyes and she was wringing her hands. She was quite a young woman compared to the other mothers and Bella knew this just had to be tearing her apart. "Mrs. Rosheen?"
"Yes, can I help you?" Mrs. Evana Rosheen asked.
"Hello, Ma'am. I am Collette Jacques and this is my intern Rebecca Morrison. We are from the Wildlife Reserve of the Mason County swamps. I know this might not be the best of time but we would like to ask you some questions about what happened to your daughter, Lillias."
After a short talk with her they realized that the woman was more broken up about her eight year olds disappearance than they originally thought. She explained through heavy tears as her husband Macon held her hand that they always told Lillias to stay out of the swamp and the fact that she couldn't believe how cruel older children could be. Just like the others a search party had not found anything on the little girl and just like the four before her was considered to never be found.
Now, the one strange thing both Bella and Jasmine noticed during their whole talks with the families that bringing up the swamp creature got a lot of disbelieving looks like the families thought them nuts. It wasn't until Macon Rosheen was letting the females out when they got their first break in the case. "I don't believe in the Swamp Creature, ladies, but if you really want to know about the creature there is along the edge of the woods outside of town toward the swamps is a cabin belonging to a little old woman by the name of Edna Jacobs. Everyone thinks she is crazy but she claims to have been attacked by the swamp creature fifty years old and lived to tell the tale. No one believes her, but there is a start for you."
As Jasmine and Bella left for their motel again they knew where their next stop had to be and that was to a small cabin owned by one Edna Jacobs they needed to talk to. People's lives depended on the answers that this woman could give them and they hoped she had the right ones. They pulled up to the cabin a little after two in the afternoon and both girls had to admit that the place looked like something out of a horror movie. Together they walked up to the door and Jasmine knocked, both feeling like they were waiting for their doom once that door opened or maybe they were just being dramatic but in this business it was better safe than sorry.
