Outside Point of View

It had been three months since Bella had been killed and no one had spoken to each other since Andy's. Three days after Bella's death they had gotten a call from Andy saying he had something for them from Bella. They got to Rivers as soon as they could and when they walked through the door Andy gave them the envelopes. Each letter started the same;

I know you won't understand why I did this or why I asked Cas to keep you guys from saving me, but I had to. I couldn't stand there and watch you die; this is the only way I knew to save you. Please don't hate Cas he did as I asked him to do and believe me he put up a fight, but you know I always win in the end. I have come to realize that as much as I wanted to forget about the past I can't. As I write this it is exactly two hours until well you know and in these two hours I have realized you can't run forever; eventually you have to face you demons, (no pun intended.)

After that it became more personal to the person it was addressed to. And in it she told them the truth of how they became who they are. She told them that she played a part in giving the pack its power and having the Cullen's changed. She apologized to the Cullen's saying if there had been any other way she would have done it, but what happened was not curse; it was a gift. They had the chance to do good and it was time they started.

Now they have all finally convinced Charlie to let Bella go and today they are having her funeral. Everyone from the reservation comes to pay their respects to the girl who saved their family and their legacy. The Cullen's are there as well; so are many hunters. They know who everyone is, but the hunters figured if Bella trusted them than they could as well. It is at the funeral that Charlie, Bobby, Ellen, Jo, the pack, and the Cullen's, Dean, and Edward see how big of an impact she had. Castiel comes to pay his respects as well. Everyone leaves flowers and each one is given a chance to speak about her. The only two who don't speak are Edward and Dean; they can't find the words to talk about the woman they loved.

In the distance; where no one can see; there is a girl standing under a weeping willow. Castiel sees her and walks away from the funeral; no one notices.

"I thought you weren't coming." he says.

"I didn't plan to, but I decided that I needed to check up on them and make sure no one kills anyone." she laughs.

"It is a nice funeral." he says breaking their silence.

"Yes they shouldn't have gone all out like this. How are they Cas?" she asks.

He sighs, "Grieving, blaming themselves, blaming each other, they are angry, and in pain."

"Cas you have to get them on track; what is coming will be happening soon. If they aren't ready I can't help them." she says close to tears.

"Would you please tell me what you know?" he asks.

A smile crosses her lips, "Cas you know I can't, but it isn't good. Everyone will be tested; even you. You all have to be ready." They stand in silence for a while until she speaks, "You need to go back; they will notice you're gone."

He nods and begins to walk away but stops, "When will I see you again?"

She sighs, "Not for sometime, but I will always know where you and the others are. I will know what is happening and when you need me I will be there even if you don't see me." she smiles at the end.

"What should I tell them if I am asked to speak?" he asks quietly

She thinks for a minute and smiles, "Tell them I will always be watching over them."

He smiles at her and walks back to the funeral. Castiel is asked to speak and he repeats what he was just told. Everyone looks at him strangely and he steals a glance at the weeping willow where the girl is. She smiles and decides to give them a sign. She takes a deep breath and as she blows it out the wind whips around her and than dances towards the funeral party. Everyone stiffens at the smell of vanilla, strawberries, jasmine, with a hint of lilies. They turn in the direction of the weeping willow, but see no one. Their faces fall from the hope of it being her, but it can't be. At least that's what they think. The day is coming that everything will be revealed, but it is not today. Castiel looks up in the sky and sees a fiery red bird passing by and smiles. The Phoenix has risen and this is not the end, but merely the beginning. Her human life has ended, but she is still here. One life has ended, but anther one has risen from the ashes to begin and the fight is far from over.
