Hey guys! Sorry about this but I just felt the need to say a huge thank you to all the people who reviewed, etc. In just over a day I had 59 emails from this story and the answer to my question! THANKS!

"Bella... look at me, please," Cas pleaded but I was too caught up in my thoughts. Thoughts I'd never had before, thoughts that had never entertained my mind; Thoughts that showed my true feelings. Feelings that I have always thwarted because they made me vulnerable to attack, letting the enemy get to me.

I don't know when I began to feel like this but this thing was too strong. I loved Castiel. Until that point I hadn't realised how close we were. Nor had I realised that I was leaning forward into Cas, as though to kiss him. With these realisations I took a quick step back making his light mood fall.

"Oh... um... we need to go and speak at Sam and Dean," I said never meeting his eyes. He brought his arm forward, trying to catch my arm as I walked forward but I quickly side stepped him. This is something new; something that shouldn't have happened.

I hurried up the stairs and to the motel door, knocking for good measure and making sure they were fully dressed before opening the door. I stepped over the threshold to find both of them fast asleep.

"Are they doing to wake up if I shout?" I asked Cas indifferently, in the corner of my eye seeing him shake his head.

"I doubt it..."

"Okay, thanks for the information," I said, launching myself at Dean who was lying stretched out to all corners of the bed. "Wake up!" I shouted jumping on him, effectively waking him and Sam up.

"What the fuck Bella?!" Dean screeched, throwing me to the floor.

"Welcome to the real world, now Cas has something to tell you. I think I'll leave you to it, I'll get a bath or something..." I said before grabbing the bag that contained my new clothes and walking into the bathroom.

I turned on the hot water just as the shouting started. As hot water poured over me the only thing stopping me from relaxing was the sound of their raised voices, and when I say their, I mean Dean's and occasionally Sam's. I stayed in the bathroom until I couldn't take it anymore and opened the door to be greeted to, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE ARE 'PROTECTING' A DEMON?!" and "OH GREAT, ANOTHER SOMETHING TO ADD INTOT HE MIX OF HUNTERS AND DEMONS! NOW WE HAVE A HUMAN TOO!"

"For Christ's sake! Shut the hell up for five minutes!" I shouted over the noise, of the two people I thought of as brothers, verbal abuse at the person I know love. They both turned to me, eyes glaring. "Don't give me that, I could kick your combined arses in five seconds flat if I wanted to now listen. I have an unfortunate condition on this, and that was if he told you then I'd welcome this person, but I'm explaining now so I get to be the bitch I am.

"This person is coming here in the next few days, her name is Leah and we can bitch her out when she arrives. We can make her feel as unwelcome as we please and make her run behind the car if we want. If we make her want to leave, it's not our fault, she just wants to leave and she will leave. Cas now knows my grand plan so can find a more secure and stable home to the poor little orphan," I said smirking. "Now, any questions?!"

"Yes, and my question is why the fuck should we have to look after her? There are many other minions you could have look after her. You could go all angels on her ass and that would protect her better than three overly annoying hunters who hate her guts without knowing her!" Dean shouted.

"That wasn't directed at me so Cas, think fast."

"Isabella-" He started before I turned and kicked him in the leg. "Bella then, you should be nice to her, I'm sure she's a nice person really!" He tried to compromise.

"Wait, are you honestly trying to say you don't know this person?!" I snapped.

"Personally, not so much. Otherwise, yes I know her," he replied looking cautious as we glared murderously at him. "And Dean as for your question, I'm sure she would prefer to be around humans than be around angels. Please make her feel welcome! I'll be dropping her off tomorrow."

"Fine!" Dean snapped, cutting off whatever Sam was about to say. "Bring her here, but you are paying for her to have a separate room from us and are going to make sure she stays out of our way!"

"Okay and there's something I may not have told you..." Cas started but quickly trailed off.

"What haven't you told us Cas?!" I said warily.

"You see, Leah... she's a shape-shifter..."
