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.
So far it is one vote for the bar fight and two votes for on a difficult case for how Bella and Jasmine meet up with the Winchester brothers. And whichever option is not choosen will still be in the story, but tweaked a little bit.

Chapter Six:
Creature from the Black Lagoon Part 2
Previously…
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.
Now…
Coming from inside the house was a pair of heavy, even, slow footsteps and the sounds of an old woman mumbling to herself as she got closer to the door. It didn't quite settle Bella or Jasmine who were waiting on the other side, but both of them had on calm faces like nothing could bother them. They both ended up holding their breath as the old woman opened the door to see two young women on her doorstep. "Well, what does two young female hunters want with little old Edna Jacobs?" With those words Bella was flabbergasted and Jasmine was reaching for her gun that was tucked into the back of her jeans. "Now, now, ladies no need to get hostile. I mean you no harm. Despite the fact Hunters try to blend in I can spot them easily. A Hunter saved my life once fifty years ago."
Jasmine still didn't exactly relax but her hands did go back to her sides as she looked at the older woman in suspicion, still leery despite the woman seeming honest. Bella was more relaxed than Jasmine, but there was still a slight hard look in her eyes as Jasmine hadn't really relaxed at all. Seeing that the girls were still on guard the old woman let out a hearty laugh. "You two are very good Hunters. Just not taking the word of someone, but I know your daddy Jasmine Singer." At the look of surprise across Jazz's face the older woman smirked and nodded at the spiky haired girl. "Call your daddy if you want. He'll vouch for me. I house Hunters here constantly."
Without waiting another second, Jasmine grabbed her call phone and dialed the familiar number knowing Bobby would clear everything up and she was going to hassle him for not telling them all the information.
"What you want now? You can't tell me you girls are done with the case already." Bobby's voice filtered through the phone once again sounding amused.
"No, Dad. We're still here. We ran into an Edna Jacobs. She says you know her and will vouch for her."
There was laughter on Bobby's end before he started speaking again. "Of course I know the old firework. She still around up there keeping watch then?"
Jasmine snorted and rolled her eyes as Bella covered her mouth to hide her giggles. "Listen here you, Old Coot… You knew more about this case then you let on. When I get home-"
Bobby's voice cut Jasmine off. "Old Coot? Listen here, little girl." Instead of sounding angry his voice actually sounded quite amused at his daughter like they did this almost daily. "Had to make sure that you and Bells still had hunting in you."
Jasmine sighed figuring her father would do something like this. "So this was just a test you set up?"
"Not all of it, Jazzie." Bobby's voice went serious. "There is a case for you there. Listen to Edna's story and take it seriously because Hunters have already lost their lives to this hunt. I have confidence that you girls can handle this though. So be careful and don't let anything happen to Bella or Charlie will have my head."
"We will be careful, Dad." Jasmine responded to her father running a hand through her short hair.
"Alright, that is all I can ask. Call me later."
"I will." Jasmine and Bobby both hung up their ends of the phone call before she turned back to Edna who grinned at both of the girls. Jasmine nodded to Bella that everything checked out and the younger brunette gave a smile in return.
"So, you ladies trust this old woman now?" Edna asked with twinkling blue eyes showing that she wasn't angry making both Bella and Jasmine flush.
Bella, the more sensitive of the two girls, responded in a small voice, "We're sorry, Ms. Jacobs. It is just in our line of work we have learned to be more than just cautious when it comes to people knowing what we are."
The gray haired lady shook her head and waved her hand at Bella's words like she was shooing away what she was saying. "I understand how Hunters work. There is no need to explain to me. A careless hunter is a dead Hunter." Edna stepped aside to let them into her home, it was a small place with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a combined living room and kitchen area. The two females thought it was quite cozy despite the size as they sat together on the tiny loveseat near the fireplace. "Do you two ladies like some tea?" At the girls nod, Edna went into her kitchen area and put on a kettle to boil and returned to where Bella and Jasmine were sitting. "Now, that you girls know I mean you no harm, how about some proper introductions."
Bella nodded at Edna and gave a small smile as she relaxed back into the couch. "I think that is fair enough after all of that. I am Isabella Swan, most just call me Bella though." She cocked her head when Edna gave her a curious look. "Ma'am?"
"You're not Chief Charlie Swan's kid, are you?" Edna asked and Jasmine had to swallow a laugh at Bella's facial expression as Bella looked almost like a fish out of water. "Of course I know Chief Swan. I make it my business to know Hunters, Ex-Hunters, informants, and everyone that deals with Hunters." Edna confirmed with a chuckle and wink at Bella.
"Yes, Ms. Jacobs, I am Chief Swan's daughter." Bella responded flushing in embarrassment. "It seems that you know almost everyone in the Hunting world so I was wondering…" She shared a look with Jasmine to see if she should continue and ask the question that was on both of the girls' minds and at Jasmine's confirming nod, Bella dove in. "Do you happen to know a Dean and Sam Winchester?"
Edna smiled at the interaction between the two girls and she could see how close they were, it was nice to see young people that seemed to know each other so well and knew how to lean on each other. "There is no need to call me Ma'am or Ms. Jacobs, just call me, Edna. Everyone else does." A thoughtful look filtered across her face at their question and she held up her finger at the kettle whistling. She went back into the kitchen and a few minutes later she came back into the sitting area and sat a tray of tea cups and hot water with tea bags in front of the two. They both said their thanks as they chose their tea and made their cups of tea while Edna was doing the same in the chair across from their loveseat. After she was settled, they could tell Edna was turning back to thinking about their question taking a few sips of her now complete tea.
"Those names do sound familiar, dears, very familiar to me." Edna remarked looking at nothing in peculiar. "Are they related to a John Winchester?"
Bella answered softly, feeling the grief again at hearing John's name. "They are his sons." Jasmine didn't say anything at all but just ducked her head, thinking about the man that she for years considered one of her uncles.
"I can tell from your expressions that something really bad must have happened to John. Is that why he hasn't stopped by in such a long time?" Edna asked the girls not really wanting to press but needing to know what had happened to the male that always stopped when he was in the area. She thought of him almost like a son, knowing just what a dangerous path John was living, but her blood froze at what could have happened to him.
Bella bit her lip not wanting to say it because she could already see the hurt in the old woman's eyes. "John past away, Edna… He died to save one of his sons…" That was all that she could say as she brushed away the tears threatening to fall. Jasmine still hadn't said a word since the moment John was brought up and finally looked over at Bella when she patted her leg in comfort.
Edna watched the interaction between the two girls and give a slight nod, "That sounds like him.." She muttered softly before tilting her head in thought. "Now, that I think about the names, a couple of months back there was two males by the names of Sam and Dean were here. They didn't give me a last name but was asking what I thought was some strange questions at the time. The two of them wanted to know how Chief Swan and his daughter in Forks was doing and now I know why they were asking. They were checking up on you." Edna said to Bella watching as the younger woman looked like she was the one close to tears now rather then Jasmine.
Bella and Jasmine looked at each other in shock unsure what to really make of this discovery. "They were so close…" Bella muttered looking upset they hadn't end this before it even started.
The purple haired girl went from smiling that despite keeping their distance that the boys were still watching over their youngest group member to growling because she wanted to see them so bad. "I am really going to fill that Jackass full of buckshot…" Bella couldn't help but giggle at Jasmine's statement.
"We'll find them, Jazz. Until then let's take care of any evil things we run across." Bella told her friend softly patting her on the shoulder. When the other girl composed herself and gave Bella a nod in understanding and thanks Bella turned to Edna. "Edna, do you want to tell us your story now?"
The older woman looked between the younger females trying to make sure that they were really truly ready to hear what she had to say. "Are you sure you girls are truly ready for this? My tale is not a pretty one though it will help you to go after the creature I want you to beware."
Bella looked at Edna with another one of her shy, but confident smiles. "We need to know Edna. We understand the danger of going after the creature, but your story will help us more."
Taking a deep breath, Edna nodded and started to speak while looking at her tea cup with an expressionless face. "Fifty years ago I was just a young woman probably around your age, Jasmine." She looked back up and glazed at both girls seriously in their eyes. "I had a boyfriend that I loved very much and I believe that he felt the same way. Well, he decided one day that we should go camping in the swamps like normally his parents would. Surprisingly when we got to the campsite there was this man already there and him and my boyfriend got into it because he wanted us to leave for our own safety. We were both pretty stubborn though because of living here all our lives the two of us thought we knew the dangerous of the swamps more than him."
"So despite all the man's warnings and such we had set up in the swamps and to my boyfriend and I's horror this man set up camp right with us claiming he could not leave us alone. It angered us both but it was up to me to keep the peace and I had to keep my boyfriend from getting into several fights with the man during the course of the evening. Then came the sounds that night, sounds that I had never heard coming from the swamps before, something between human chatter and gurgling sound like someone was trying to talk through water. What frightened me about the whole deal was that the sounds actually sounded angry and sounded like they were coming closer and closer to us. My boyfriend had heard them too and before me and the other man could tell him to stay put he took off into the woods."
"Then we heard the most horrible screams coming from my boyfriend and both me and the man ran into the woods trying to find him but the dark we didn't have a chance. We ended up huddled in the camp we made with those human gurgling sounds moving outside of the firelight all night long. Neither me nor the man could sleep and that was the night I found out about Hunters and all the things that go bump in the night, things I honestly never thought I would want to know. By the time the sun started coming up the sounds of the creature had stopped and me and the man took a chance to get me back to the car my boyfriend and I had come in. He told he would kill the creature and hunt for my boyfriend though I already knew deep down he was telling me that to keep me calm because we both instinctively knew that my boyfriend was dead."
"The two of us made a run for the cars but we didn't make it that far, something grabbed me from behind and started dragging me, I could hear the sounds from the night before coming from whatever had a hold on me. I screamed for the man and I realized that he was gone and I gave up hope until I heard a gun shot that echoed from behind me and the creature. The creature jerked and dropped me to the ground and I saw the most scariest thing that I had ever saw in my life. The creature was all a dark green almost like the forest itself with these coal black eyes and had no hair at all anywhere from what I could see. It had webbed feet and hands and suspiciously what looked like gills on either side of it's face, it was a sight that is forever etched into my brain."
"The Hunter screamed at me to run that he would take care of the monster and he shot at the thing again to keep it's attention on him. I didn't need to be told twice and I took off for the cars that I knew was just over the ridge, but the man's scream made me look back and the creature grabbing him. It was a horrible thing, but I knew I couldn't help unarmed like I was so I kept going for the car and then made my way into town only to have people laugh and ignore my words like I was crazy. I tried to go back myself but before I could even leave town they threw me into a physic ward and it took forever it seemed to be able to get myself out. By that time several days had past and I knew there was nothing I could do as both my boyfriend and the man were considered missing and presumed dead."
"From then on the town always considered me weird and I was basically shunned from all of them, only my aunt ever believed me though I never knew why. I inherited this place in her will and I fixed it up to make it a decent place for hunters to stay on their way through here. I took my time and made various contacts in the hunting world and through the years a lot of those contacts have changed. Right now my main contacts is Bobby and Charlie but my main concern though is watching that swamp because I knew one day that creature would come back. And these attacks are the sign that the swamp monster is hungry again. Do you girls understand? This won't be easy at all." Edna finished her story tears in her eyes and a stern look on her face.
Jasmine looked back at Edna with a determined look on her face, she could see the look that Edna was trying to hide. The old woman had been hoping for years that this creature would never rear it's ugly head again but it was back and the woman was afraid. Jasmine hated seeing that look on someone's face especially someone she had come to like so quickly and she was going to remove that look from Edna's face if it killed her. She could tell from Bella's expression that her friend felt the same way as she did and that made her feel stronger as well. "We will get this thing, Edna. It won't haunt you anymore." Jasmine remarked as Bella walked forward and brushed her lips across Edna's forehead. Without another word the girls headed back to their car and made for the motel to get everything else that they needed.
Once the two females had grabbed everything they needed and got it into the trunk they drove out to swamp where the other campers and the little girl had disappeared and parked the car. They knew it wasn't going to be easy and they had to be prepared for anything that could come their way with an evil creature about. 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. "It will be awesome. Teach evil creatures to keep an old woman up all night with worry."
Bella rolled her eyes and shook her head again. "Seriously, how are we going to handle this?" She asked her sister figure wanting to know just what Jasmine was thinking that they should do. The other girl explained that they were basically going to go fishing as she had hidden away some rotten chicken that she hoped the smell would attract the creature and then use the bombs to blow the creature up from a safe distance. She also told Bella that to be on the safe side they would take firearms and shot the creature if somehow Plan A got screwed up. Jasmine always knew to have a back up plan, because in this line of work things rarely went the way that you wanted or expected them to.
When Bella showed that she understood the plan, they went off into the woods with their equipment and set up a small camp for the night so they had protection, making sure to gather plenty of firewood. After everything was done there they took off for the nearest swamp where they would set up the rotten chicken around the swamp and bombs with mini strings where Jasmine could light them from a safe distance. Jasmine was enjoying watching Bella laying out the rotten chicken and was calling her bait.
"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. This was the way it always was between the two girls, they relieved the tension of a difficult case with teasing each other so why should this case be any different. Night was falling though and they started a small camp fire big enough to see the swamp where they set their trap and they could only hope that they had picked the right swamp where the creature would come out of.
AN2: I seriously apologize for the later than usual update. I have family visiting us while on vacation and I had hardly any time on the computer to type this chapter up. Plus, if I would have gotten out my computer to work on it my nephew would have wanted to play on it and he kills basically everything. *shudders* But as an apology here is a preview of the next chapter, the conclusion to the Creature from the Black Lagoon Case.
This wasn't good, this wasn't not good at all… Jasmine made a dash from behind the trees her eyes scanning in the dark for Bella and she felt like a failure. Bella had been counting on her but her well laid plan… Well… It was blown to hell and now finding Bella and having them both survive this was the only thing on her mind. "Bella! Bells!" She screamed before stopping hearing something behind her and she felt something grab her by the hair along with the sounds Edna had described to them. No! The creature had her…
She tried to struggle but the thing was dragging her backwards and she couldn't get free! "Bella! Run! Go back to Edna's! Call my Dad! Call the boys. They-"
"Jazz!" There was a sound of a gun shot…
