He didn't come. He didn't hear my cries or answer my pleas. He stayed blissfully ignorant and didn't even tell me he'd arrived back until I had Dean knocking on my door, apologising and telling me to come to his room 'as soon as I was ready'.

If he waited until I was ready he'd be waiting all day and the only reason I left my newly acquired room was when he told me Cas was there. That was all he had to tell me; that Castiel was there. And that was all that he did.

"Give me two minutes," I shouted through the door. "I'll meet you there." I stayed sitting on my bed until I heard him stomp back down the corridor. I wonder how he paid off the staff, although it probably wouldn't take much. Probably slipped them a little tip; a few pennies.

I silently moved through the corridor down to the room Dean was currently staying in, trying to pull myself together, make it seem as though I wasn't falling apart inside. I didn't cry so I didn't have to worry about tear marks, but whether my eyes portrayed my hurt, my disbelief.

I gently knocked on the door and Dean opened it, stepping outside at the same time and wrapping me in a hug.

"I'm sorry, Baby Girl," He mumbled into my hair before pulling back and looking me in the eye. "I should have believed you; I should have known you wouldn't keep this from me. I'm sorry," He concluded, his voice ringing with sincerity.

"Of course," I laughed. "But let's pretend this conversation never happened; imagine what would happen to your ego if people knew the Great Dean Winchester apologised! You'd be nothing!"

He smirked and chuckled slightly before slinging his arm over my shoulders and resting a hand on the door. "Well, let us go forth to see what monsters lurk behind this door!" He flung the door open, stopping it with his foot before it bounced back. "Only my brother and an angel," He exclaimed. "Way to be boring guys!"

"I think you forgot about me," A familiar voice sounded before standing up. "Well, if it isn't Isabella Swan." She snarled with a smirk planted on her face.

"Hello Leah, I suppose you didn't learn any manners in the time I've been gone. Shame really!" Dean chuckled behind me while Sam looked at me in shock and Cas stood up, facing me for the first time since he got back, his face cold and unreadable.

"Isabella, that is quite enough. She is your guest and will be treated with respect and how you treat both Sam and Dean!"

"What like a man?" I asked, once again earning a chuckle off Dean and an unexpected one off Sam.

"I'm sorry Cas, but she got you there," he explained before turning to me. "But you should be a little nicer, Bella. Do the right thing here."

Leah turned and looked at Sam, a look of respect and love written all over her face and her eyes glazed over. Like a blind man looking at the sun.

I remembered that look. I'd seen it many times before on many different faces. With Kim and Jared, Sam and Emily, Claire and Quil but not once did I expect to see it with Leah and my Brother for all intensive purposes.

"NO!" I shouted, lurching forwards, grabbing one of the many knifes I had dotted around on various parts of my body just to be restrained by Dean. "You did not imprint on my Brother!"

Leah turned back to me, glaring while everyone else turned to me with looks that ranged from shock to disgust. "It's not something I can help, Swan, so if you don't mind I would like you to keep your nose out of it!"

"What's imprinting?" Sam asked while Cas and Dean just looked at him. I had explained to Dean already what imprinting was when I spoke to him alone about everything that went on and he didn't like the idea, said it took away all your choices and left you defenceless and alone; and Cas knew because he was the one who had to go and get us a shape shifter in the first place! Couldn't get us a dog could he? No, instead he went and got us something like a dog that changes into a wolf every time it gets angry. Great!

"Imprinting is what happens when a shape-shifter finds their soul mate..." Leah began, just to be cut off by me and Dean making gagging noises.

"Maybe you should leave," Leah growled at me and Dean.

"Maybe you should leave!" We both said in harmony, making us both laugh.

"Please," Sam said with his eyes shut and voice deathly calm. "All of you just please leave, this is something both me and Leah need to talk about. Alone."

Dean grabbed my hand and tried to lead me away as I stood there shocked. I went to step forward but Cas stepped in front of me shaking his head, his expression serious yet his eyes were soft.

"Fine..." I whispered before stepping back into Dean's arms and letting him lead the way to the room I had booked just a few hours before, a few long, stretched out and agonising hours, with Cas trailing behind us. He grabbed my hand while Dean kept his arm around my shoulders and together we walked down the hall, hoping that everything would just blow over; hoping that all this was just a dream, hoping that all this would be gone in the blink of an eye.

But it wouldn't, would it? This wasn't some fairy tale, was it? This was reality and I was allowing my reality to be dragged back, into the time of darkness in my life; into the time where I was vulnerable.

Hey guys,

This chapter was really hard for me to write because I'm all sleep deprived at the moment and am meant to be doing some school work; but who cares!

I am worried about this chapter so please tell me whether it turned out all right. But remember...

Read, Review and Show me the love!
