"A Life I Thought Would Never Return"
A/N: Ok, so I thought I would put the first part of the "awkward" conversation up since I'm getting more hits plus it's longer so I hope that helps a bit more. Thanks everyone!!! But I won't post everyday since I've only written the story up to a certain point and I have an idea where I want it to go, just putting the thoughts into words is getting tricky. So be patient and keep checking for updates. Please REVIEW!!!!
Just to make it clear, Dean Winchester = Alec McDowell, therefore Dean is an X5 transgenic (like Max).
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural, Dark Angel or Twilight. They belong to their respective owners (I thank them for creating them in the first place). Giving a shout out to FuglyJiminyCricket for allowing me to use some of her story to start off mine. Thanks Fugly!! I hope I don't disappoint.
I also want to say thanks to Valjean for all of her amazing stories involving the SPN and Dark Angel Universe (should check out her site). Thanks for showing me that it's possible to combine the worlds together in a way that can be believable. =P

Bella's POV
The twenty minute car ride had been quiet. I was in the back seat with Sam, Max sat shotgun and Dean drove as he hummed one of his rock songs while taking my directions to the Cullens' house. I kept looking up at Sam with a smile across my face and Sam returned it with his own signature smile that I've missed so much. Neither Edward nor Jacob had crossed my mind yet I felt guilty when I remembered that we were going to meet them.
We all got out of the Impala when both Max & Dean tensed up.
"We have company out here." Max said in soldier mode. Dean & Max were scanning the forest with their night vision to see what was waiting for them.
"It might be some of the wolves. We have been on high alert because of the vampire army." I added which calmed Dean & Max down a bit and I squeezed Sam's hand as he reunited by my side.
As the four of us walked through the front doors, I could feel the tension in the house. The Cullens, Jacob, & Sam Uley were gathered around the living room waiting. I guess that the rest of the wolves were doing a shift outside since I didn't see them anywhere. I saw Jasper look up at me, he probably felt my guilt and was probably thinking why I was feeling like that.
I sat in the arm chair by the large sofa as Sam, Dean & Max all fit on that sofa with extra room for another. It was silence for awhile, no one was quite sure what to say. I just stared at the floor, avoiding eye contact, not sure who to look at. Edward? Jacob? Sam? In my thoughts I just wanted to smile wide at Sam and be beside him and just talk like we use to back at Uncle Bobby's place. I missed being at Uncle Bobby's place. At that moment, I was glad that Edward couldn't read my thoughts, but what if he was reading Sam's or even Dean's & Max's for they too knew that Sam & I had something together.
"So, Sam, Dean, Max….how do you know Bella?" Esme was first to talk and brought up the question that brought so many questions I presumed to the household. I felt that it was safe to now look at the Winchesters, wondering what they were going to say.
"Well, our dad, John used to be friends with Bella's uncle, Bobby who is also a hunter. We used to spend a lot of time together growing up and spent some time together during the summer, when Bella visited or when I cam back to visit. At times, our dad would leave us at Bobby's while they were hunting and we were old enough to take care of ourselves. Bells' like the little sister I never wanted!" Dean winked at me after the last remark and gave his usual smirk before Max punched Dean in the shoulder, real hard from the looks of it.
"Ouch! Max! What was that for?" Dean was now rubbing his shoulder looking over to meet Max's eyes. I laughed on the inside at what Max just did for me. I saw that Sam too was holding back a laugh, I guess he still wasn't use to the hold that Max held over Dean at times. It must have been an X5 thing they shared.
"Be glad that you had Bella to be a sister to you. Remember, the way we were raised any family was a blessing." Max was defensive when talking about family. She couldn't save all of her 'family' back when she escaped from Manticore from what I could remember. It still broke my heart that Max & Dean were raised the way they were.
I was glad that it showed that Dean and I had the brother/sister relationship but it was obvious that Sam and I didn't have that relationship at all, which brought me to look towards Edward who was giving me a questioning look and apparently so was Jacob. I guess it was somewhat obvious that there was a little history between me and Sam. I wonder what Sam is thinking, he hadn't said anything yet……After seeing how Edward looked, I was now worried about Jacob's reaction because of his temper, I wasn't sure if he could hold it in. He was already having trouble keeping calm with the fact that he was basically battling Edward for my affection. I can't believe I'm hurting Jacob again like this, he's already been through so much because of me. What if they soon realize that Sam might be apart of that battle too?
"So is that how you two got into hunting? Your father?" Jasper looked intrigued as to why someone would choose their hunting lifestyle. I guess that he could understand family loyalty and following orders with his military background and all.
"Yes and no" Sam looked like he did every time he had to tell the story. I remember that face from when he first told me when I was younger. "Our dad started hunting when both Dean & I were very young, just after our mother was killed and hunting is the only life that we have really known."
"Except for when Sammy here packed up and left us to go to college!" Max was about to punch Dean again for saying that but Sam stopped her. Sam was grateful for Max, she too wanted to have a normal life and understood why Sam went to Stanford.
"Me? Dude, come one. The majority of the time you were stuck on that military base!" Sam had snapped back at Dean like a reflex.
"It wasn't my fault, both me and Max weren't their willingly and you know that." Dean shot back.
"Guys stop it." I tried to stop the brother's war that was about to emerge. It was always the same topic that set the two off.
"It's ok Iz. If I hadn't gone to college then Jess would still be alive and maybe so would dad" Sam was tearing up now, I knew he felt guilty for their deaths but he would never let it go, like he's some sort of bad luck which could never be true.
"Sam, please don't think like that. It wasn't your fault, none of it was! Your mom, dad and Jess were killed by Yellow Eyes not you! How can you blame yourself?" I reached for his hand and he didn't hold back, hopefully I was getting through to him.
"Yellow eyes?" Jacob's face now showed more confusion than anger, everyone else was just confused.
"A demon that we have been hunting since their mother's death. We discovered that he went by Azazel." Max answered.
"But he isn't a problem anymore" Dean reassured me with a satisfied grin on his face, Max had one too.
"WHAT! You finally managed to kill the bastard?" I was shocked that Uncle Bobby never told me any of this. Everyone in the room, besides the Winchesters were shocked that I had just sworn in the heat of the moment……I forgot that I stopped swearing, to be more of a lady when I moved in with Charlie.
"We did, Dean did. I was busy fightingwhile Max was still at Bobby's place with AJ. But things got worse before that faithful kill. Bobby was right Iz. I did die. Dean, stupidly made a deal to bring me back but that's for another time." Sam looked in my eyes when he said that, I think my heart dropped for a second and I was pretty sure everyone heard it.
"What! Dean, then I don't know whether to hit you or hug you!"
"Woah Bells! I rather take the hug 'cause I don't want you getting hurt when you punch me. And besides, you know I couldn't live with myself without Sammy. It's my job to look after him. I couldn't think of any other options. Put yourself in my shoes, what would you have done?" Dean's voice had smoothed out near the end and I couldn't meet his gaze for we both knew that I would have done the same thing for Sam.
"Can we just slow down a minute here! I for one am totally confused. Firstly Bella, you knew about all this supernatural stuff before you met me, then why did you act like you didn't know I was a vampire?" Edward was really confused at this point and now directed his attention to Sam. "Secondly, how did you come back from the dead and why can't I read any of your minds? Plus why are you calling her Iz? She hates that name!"
"I didn't know much about vampires or werewolves in Jake's casebut Uncle Bobby and John always believe that they had all been destroyed years ago by another hunter. I have read various books about thelore but the legends about bothdidn't have many that agreed on anything!There was a myth set here in Forks about a coven of vampires that were different from the rest that had made a treaty with a group of werewolves who were also different and that happened a long time ago. I dismiss that immediately because it was impossible since based on experience, they were immortal enemies. Uncle Bobby also brought that myth back up from I first told him that I moved here. So when we first met I dismissed vampires, and werewolves thinking that they didn't exist anymore! I never lied to you!" I was mainly staring at Edward when I spoke but looked at Jacob when I mentioned werewolves. Edward now looked like he was having a hard time taking in this new information about me.
I now directed my attention to Sam for Edward's second question. "As for Sam, that I would like to know! Last time I spoke to Uncle Bobby, he was distraught because you had been killed and Dean was falling apart, what happened?"
Max was just watching the Cullens reactions, studying them as all their attention was aimed for the brothers. Sam and Dean weren't comfortable telling the immortals about their hunting history.
Sam eventually gave a big sigh and began. "Well, you know about Azazel? Well had had plans for me and the other children like me." He paused as if he was waiting for my response.
"Wait, what do you mean others like you? What about you?" I was intrigued at what Sam was saying. Dean was glancing towards the Cullens, then at Max before looking back at Sam. "You can trust them Dean, I trust them. They have saved me on countless occasions." Dean grimaced before nodding to Sam to continue.
"Well, for about a week before Jess died, I started getting these dreams. It was the same dream every night but I ignored them, thought it was just fear of losing her. Then when I came back after Dean came for me for a hunt, she was on the ceiling…….bleeding before the fire broke and I….I couldn't move. Dean had to force me out like he did when I was a baby. It was only after Jess' death that I started to realize what the dreams meant. Iz, I dreamed of Jess' death, exactly how it happened. The blood drops, her…" Sam paused and I knew he hated to talk about how Jess died. "…her body on the ceiling, the fire everywhere. Then I started getting other dreams of other people dying unnaturally and after a few incidents, Dean and I came to realize they were all people connected to Azazel. They were a few of us, all born in the same year, some had mothers who died in house fires and all displayed psychic abilities, I met a couple of them. Then one day I woke up in this abandoned town with a few of the others I had met and some I hadn't. I found out that Azazel had gathered us all together to battle it out until only one of us was left! Apparently he only needed one of us, the strongest one, needless to say my kind, forgiving nature backfired against me. Instead of killing the last remaining guy who attacked me unprovoked, I took pity on him and let him live! And for the record I didn't kill the others. Anyways, that was a big mistake, one that cost me my life" Sam was now facing the floor, silent and waiting. It broke my heart that he had to live through that and retell it but I had to know what happened. I couldn't imagine what Dean was going through at that time.
Dean took over the story. "Max was back at Bobby's to watch AJ so that Bobby could help me find Sam. We arrived to the abandoned town and found Sam, just before the guy stabs Sam in the back. I rushed to Sam but was too late as he was slipping away in my arms as Bobby chased the guy down. So Bobby and I brought Sam back to a shack not far from where we found Sam. Many arguments later, I told Bobby to leave me alone….and let the world go to hell! After much soul searching I knew I couldn't continue without Sammy so I made a deal with a crossroads demon who gave me one year in exchange for Sam's life. I raced back to the shack and found Sam alive. God, I had never been so happy to see the bitch in my life!" Dean had a smirk on his face after his last comment.
"Jerk!" Sam said back to Dean before they both laughed. It was another thing they had together. I too started to laugh and so did Max, after all the trouble they all have been through it was great to see that they still had a sense of humor in their lives. It had been awhile since I laughed like that and when we eventually regained our composure, I noticed all the Cullens including Jacob were looking at me like they had never seen me like that before. I immediately blushed, embarrassed that I was totally ignoring my 'family' and best friend.
"Sorry, but I haven't seen them for a long time and we spend so much time together over those summers sometimes we forget our surroundings!" I tried to explain my odd behavior around the Winchesters.
"Yeah, Bells was such a funny kid, always falling over trying to keep up with me, Sam & Max. Although Sam always waited for her, but that's my dorky little brother for you! At times he too couldn't keep up with me and Max." Dean chuckled at the last part since only they knew why that was.
"It's not my fault you two are faster and besides, someone had to take care of her! She was so clumsy! I felt it was my duty to guard her at all times." Sam chuckled in response and I immediately saw Edward tense up at those words, more so than Jacob.
"All fine with me, got me to spend more time with Max & AJ and continue my own training." Dean winked at Max who returned it with her own signature smile when he got flirty with her. "Last thing I needed was to take care of two kids and their training." Dean instantly received a punch from Max but the 'fun, stop it' kind of punch.
"Hey! It wasn't my fault I was clumsy at the time? I was what, only 11 at the time. You had to expect a clumsy kid like me was to get into mishaps that would have caused a laugh or two at my expense." I was getting defensive, which Dean wanted. He always knew which one of my buttons to push.
"Hey Iz. Take it easy. Looks like you have definitely changed a lot over the years since we last saw you. In fact, you have changed from a cute, sweet innocent girl to an intelligent, funny, gorgeous woman." Sam's eyes never left mine as he said this and all I wanted to do was jump over to him and kiss him. I barely remembered the others were there until I heard an unmistakable growl coming from Edward and a tempered growl from Jacob. It didn't seem like Edward & Jacob were happy for me to see my family again. I didn't look over to them, however I remained looking at Sam who suddenly remember where we were. "Do you remember what I said to you before we left last time?" I nodded and he continued. "Well, nothing has changed on my side at least. God I sound like a girl! See what you do to me!" Sam said the last with a chuckle.
Dean's smirk got bigger at that last statement. "That's why I avoid chick flick moments dude, only get yourself in trouble."
"You still get yourself in trouble without those moments." Max rebutted back at him, smiling a bit afterwards once Dean gave her a smile.
I could feel the tears welling up again. I knew Sam cared for me as I do for him but I never thought he would still feel the same after all these years. I just then realized that Sam had almost unknowingly told me in front of everyone that he loved me and that made my love life even worse. Now I was torn between Edward, Jacob and Sam.
A/N: So how was that? Too much info? Does it make sense? After the house scene, if there's still some confusion, I can put up a timeline of this universe's events to clear things up for everyone. Request it in a review if you want to see it!!
Hope you all enjoyed it!! I might post the next chapter after this week's new Supernatural episode -- "The Curious Case of Dean Winchester" (I hope there isn't less of Jensen in this episode......*fingers crossed*)
