What Happens Next
Bella's Point of View
On the last page of the book there was a note:
Bella,
Meet me at the botanical gardens at noon. I will answer all your questions and have faith.
Chuck.
Leave it to God to say have faith. I was so confused about what I had just read; the book before had it all wrong. Some of the info from the first book was right, but for the most part it was complete shit. Why do people try to write about stuff they know nothing about? I looked at the clock and it said 11:15 a.m. I hadn't paid attention to the sun rising and now I had 45 minutes to get ready, make an excuse, and meet Chuck. I slipped on one of Edward's t-shirts and ran to my room; Jo was waiting for me.
"Well what did you do last night Isabella?" she smirked at me.
I didn't have time for this game so I just blurted it out, "I slept with Edward, it was amazing, but right now I don't have time to exchange details. I gotta go and meet my dad."
I got dressed and headed downstairs; I ignored Emmett's teasing and hopped in my car.
Jo's Point of View
B had never been so blunt and to the point like that with me. I was wondering if something bad had happened. After she got dressed she ran out of the room and I heard her car start and speed off. My phone rang, "Hey Mom what's up?"
"Jo its Dean is Bella there?" he asked.
"No she just left to go meet her dad." I told him.
"Jo, Charlie is with us." he told me.
I was confused; B had never lied to me before, "Dean what is going on?"
"Oh I think you already know the answer. Look we know Bella is the Phoenix. Now where is she?" he yelled at me.
"Dean I don't know where she went; all she said was she was meeting her dad, but obviously she lied to me and that never happens. Something is up; how far from us are you?" I asked.
"About an hour; Charlie is gonna help us out. We will see you soon; find out what you can." he said and we hung up.
B had lied to me and that had me worried. We never kept secrets so if she was keeping something from me it had to be really bad. I ran downstairs to tell the Cullen's everything.
Bella's Point of View
I got to the gardens with five minutes to spare and began searching for Chuck. When I found him he was standing on a bridge overlooking a river and I became aware that we were the only two people here.
"Hello Bella; I'm glad you came. I thought privacy would be best and this happens to be one of my favorite places." he said and turned to me, "Come let's sit down and I will answer your questions."
I followed him and when we sat down I spoke, "Chuck is what that book you gave me true?"
His smile faltered, "Yes it is; all of those things are suppose to come to pass." he said solemnly
"There has to be some other way to stop it all. I mean we can keep Sam from releasing Lucifer, keep Ellen, Jo, the Cullen's and the pack from dying….." I tried saying but he cut me off.
"Bella some of those things have to happen, but others you can fix and others stop from happening." He said.
I thought back to what the book said; I pulled out my phone and looked at the calendar. Tonight was the night we would face Lillith and Victoria; tonight the Cullen's and the pack were suppose to die.
"What if I get Lillith or Victoria to kill me would that prevent their deaths?" I asked.
"It might; why don't you look for yourself." He touched his hand to my head and I saw that my sacrifice would save them. "Bella the other stuff must happen, but you can mend them and prevent the fight between my sons."
"How, I would be dead?" I asked confused trying to understand. Than it hit me like a bus, "Unless they killed me with the athame. It would cause me to burst into flames and die, but I would be reborn."
"Yes and when you are reborn you would have your powers, but Bella you understand what that would mean?" he said.
"I know what it means." I said.
"Bella if you do that there is no going back." he said and I just nodded. "I am sorry Bella that you must sacrifice so much."
"It's better me than them." I said and stood up to leave.
"Bella before you go Sam and Dean came to my house; it's a long story, but they know you are the Phoenix and they should be back in town by now." he said.
"Thanks for the heads up Chuck and let me guess know they don't know about you." he shook his head no, "Alright well than it will be our little secret." I waved goodbye and headed to the park. I needed to talk to Cas because I was going to need his help.
About an hour later Cas showed up, "Bella what is going on? Why did you call me here? Everyone is waiting for you back at the house. Look we went to a prophet and he says you are…." But I finished his sentence.
"The Phoenix; I know Cas. I have for a while now and let's just say I just had it confirmed." I pulled out the book Chuck had given me.
He gasped, "Bella where did you get that? It has been missing for over 600 years; Do you know what that is?"
I nodded, "The book of prophecies. Cas not everything is set in stone; that is where free will comes into play. Cas I can change some of the things that are going to happen, but I need your help. Tonight we are going to be attacked by Lillith and Victoria; the Cullen's and the pack will die unless you help me."
"What do you need from me?" he asked.
"I need you to make sure no one saves me when Victoria takes the athame and kills me. They can not stop it or even try because if they do than we are all doomed." I said.
"Bella you cannot allow her to kill you and you can't expect us to allow it either." he said shocked.
"Yes I can and I expect you to help me. Cas it has to happen otherwise there will be nothing to wake up to tomorrow." I said. He solemnly nodded and I continued, "Cas as soon as I am dead and all that is left is my ashes make sure to grab the athame and get everyone the hell out of there. You make sure that they don't turn back or try to kill Victoria or Lillith." He looked so upset that I was going to die, but he didn't know the rest, "Cas I will return; I will arise from my ashes, but I won't be human anymore. They cannot know that I am alive; they have to believe I am dead for what must happen. I'm not scared Cas." I laughed and continued, "There is one more thing I need you to do Cas; I need you to lead them to the abandon warehouse just outside of the city. We are going to attack Lillith and Victoria first. I will meet you there." With that I turned and started to walk away.
"Bella I want you to know I was never one of the angels that thought of you as a liability; I always trusted Father's instincts about you." he said.
I smiled and hopped in my car. I had some business I needed to take care of before tonight.
Edward's Point of View
By the time I got back from hunting the hunters had returned with one in tow; Charlie Swan. I couldn't even look at him because I was so ashamed of my actions towards his daughter. When I walked in everyone asked if I had seen Bella and when I replied no they told me the entire story; Bella was the Phoenix and Lillith wanted her. I growled and so did Dean. We had found some common ground and for the moment we had a truce going.
"Jo, do you have any idea where she might be?" Dean asked.
"No Dean for the eight hundredth time no. If I knew I would tell you. She lied to me too you know." Jo said and by her thoughts and what Jasper told me she was feeling completely betrayed.
All of a sudden Castiel appeared, "I know where Bella will be tonight. Lillith and Victoria are meeting and that is where she will be. You best get ready."
I could tell something was off by his tone, but ignored it and did as he said. Lillith and Victoria were not going to touch Bella; not if any of us had a say in it.
Bella's Point of View
I drove over to Andy's bar and go out. I had picked up a note pad and pens; for what I was about to do I needed a drink.
"Hey Bella you are the first customer of the day. What's wrong?" Andy asked.
I smiled, "Oh you know job is going bad and I needed a place to sit, write some stuff down and have a drink."
He just nodded and poured me a shot of jack and I told him to leave the bottle. I began to write my goodbye letters; I wrote one to everyone I loved and cared for. The hardest ones to write were Dean and Edward's because I didn't really know what to say. I cared for them both and I didn't want to hurt them; they were going to feel enough of that tonight. I just started writing whatever came to mind and somehow by the end of it, the letters had found their ways and explained everything. I sealed the envelopes and went over to Andy.
"Hey Andy I need a favor." I said to him.
"Yea what do you need me to do?" he said eyeing me suspiciously.
"When Dean, Sam, Edward, and the others come give them these." I said as I handed him the envelopes.
"Bella what are you doing; leaving your last will and testament?" he asked jokingly.
"Yea something like that." I said and he got very serious.
"Bella if you need help I will help you. I mean you don't have to do this alone." He said.
I laughed, "Actually I do Andy and no one can help me. I'm ok with what is going to happen and I don't want you to get involved. I once told you that when it counted I would ask you to do something for me; well today is that day. Andy in three days I want you to call Sam and have him bring everyone up here. Than I want you to give them the letters; they will explain everything. You're a good guy Andy and deserve a great girl." I leaned over the bar and kissed his cheek, "Andy please do this for me. I gotta go and get ready for tonight. Thanks for the drinks; goodbye Andy."
With that I got up from the stool and headed outside to my car, but stopped and smiled, "You know Andy I never gave much thought to how I would die, but dying in the place of people I love seems like a good way to go." he just nodded his head and I left.
