"I'm so sorry, baby girl. There's nothing I can do..." Dean whispered, pulling me into a hug while sobbing on my shoulder.

"Dean, what can't you do anything about? Dean, please?" But he was too far gone to speak so I led him to the second bed and sat down, while Dean securely latched around my waist. "Sam?" He shook his head, his expression confused. Obviously he knew as much as I did.

It was a first to see Dean cry. He was like me, usually a tough person to crack. Nobody really liked him until they understood him, and to understand the mind of Dean Winchester was a hard thing to do. Sure, he got the girls and made a few acquaintances but that doesn't mean people understand him and doesn't mean they trust or like him, they are just there if he ever needs help and vice versa.

Sam turned his attention back to a sobbing Leah, who I had recently been ignoring. "Leah... You know don't you?" I asked, seeing her nod her head slightly. "What's wrong? Why is Dean like this? Please, I just need to know if I can stop this."

She slowly lifted her head bringing her eyes to mine. They were blood shot and she looked as though she had aged years in a matter of seconds. She slowly pulled herself into a standing position and dragged her way over to me before sitting next to me.

"Bella, its Charlie," Her voice was haunted, her face tormented but nothing went through.

"What about Charlie?" I laughed humourlessly, hoping it was some strange joke or that I had gotten the wrong idea. "What's he gone and done now?"

"Bella, he's dead..." she whispered. "I'm sorry." She wrapped her arms around me as silent tears streaked my face but I pushed her away.

"No, no! He can't be! Why? What happened to him?" I said, my voice getting louder until I was eventually shouting.

"I don't know, but Bobby said it was something to do with a demon-"

"Is that all you can tell me? You don't even know who Bobby is nor do you know anything about demons!" I screeched at her.

"Maybe she doesn't but your Dad did." Dean's pained voice echoes, silencing us all. "Charlie was a hunter before you were born, baby girl. He gave it up when he met your Mom and she had you because he didn't want to harm any of you but after you left he began hearing whispers from tormented demons saying that he had brought hell upon the world and that you were out weighting the balance of good and evil in the world. They said what he had brought upon the world was worse than the devil itself.

"He began hunting again soon after, we were going to tell you but we could never find you. You either moved on to the next case or went missing and we couldn't contact you at all. You were what they were talking about. You are known by both the Angels and the Demons in the world, as well as both of their leaders and Lucifer was, is, after blood.

"One of the higher ranking demons, the ones that you explained to us were keeping you in hell came to the surface and, unable to find you, found the next best thing, your father. As soon as he was found Bobby was contacted and he told me to tell you, and he also told me to get to Forks now and kill the son of a bitch." Half way through his speech he lifted his head with both resignation and determination shining through.

"Can I have the honours of killing the little shit?"

Everyone nodded, understanding that I needed this; that I needed to release the rage that was consuming me at the thought of demons killing my father because they couldn't find me. Because they failed at securing me in hell they took the innocent life of someone who kept me who I was, the person who sculpted me to be the person I am now.

"So when do we leave?" I asked standing up, letting them know I was ready to go.

"As soon as we are packed up I suppose," Sam said standing up, taking Leah's hand.

"Or we could leave the shit here and go..." Dean said, standing up.

He was always one for the quick way out, the person who could leave everything behind for someone he cared for; he was, if not biologically, then by soul, my brother.

"Get your stuff, we leave in an hour," I commanded as Castiel took my hand and led me back to the second room to get all my, and some of Dean's, stuff.

When in the room, Castiel sat me on the bed and knelt down in front of me.

"Isabella, you matter what, the person, the thing, that did this, will pay and I promise you, that I will not let anyone hurt you again. I am just sorry I never saw this coming." He wiped a stray tear from my cheek before kissing me lightly on the lips.

"It is not your fault, nor will it ever will be that my father died, I just hope he got his eternal peace," I whispered.

"Don't worry, he is the hands of my father now and he is rejoicing in the heavens while watching you from above. You never need to worry about that because you, and your family, will always have a place with my father, no matter what."

This was a comfort to me for now, but knowing what is coming after you die isn't as much as a comfort later on, as knowing what will happen next; because knowing what happens next will help not only the mind but the people you allow your mind to trust. It can also show you the way in which you go forth, the way you play your cards.

And then I remember one of the things my father said to me as a child...

'Never underestimate a person's abilities for underestimating a person can be the worst kind of betrayal. But it would not be betrayal of the person, but betrayal of your mind, yourself.'

And only know do I understand this because I trusted everyone as I made my way back to my former home, but my mind lied when I trusted the road because the road to Forks was the one thing that brought it all back. Every pain, every agonising moment and every memory of the people I once loved. It reminded me not only of the family I once loved, the Father I once had but of the friends I left behind; and it didn't stop at reminding me.

Hey guys,

I'm sorry this is such a long winded chapter but it has been a bad week! Not only have I had the holiday from hell, but I've been majorly ill and have had to hide from everyone and when it got better I went out and got it all back again. Not good!
Well anyway, I will be updating in the next week so for now,
Read, Review and Show me the love!
