Leah was right when she said some things never change. Forks was still the small, we know everything about you town and Leah did know everything.

Things were quickly cleared up and Leah had me out of the house and at the new local supermarket that was named after its owner, 'Newton's Supermarket'. The name wasn't the least inventive thing about the shop as the building work was simple and plain, and painted a beige colour that had somehow merged with green, making it blend in slightly with the forest that surrounded it.

Leah hopped out the car, slamming the door and making the whole car shake and I quickly followed suit, walking into the shop. It held the basics any person would need, and very little in choice but it had enough for an average person in Forks to live a rather uncomfortable and simple life.

Leah grabbed a small creaking basket and helped by throwing in the basics we would need for our stay in Forks and a few things to eat before we did a proper shop the following day. I spent most of the time just staring, looking at the differences from the Forks I left behind and the Forks I had returned to.

"Changed a lot hasn't it?" Leah asked me with understanding lining her voice.

"So much, nothing seems the same. It's not the place it once was, it's building, not only in size but in quantity," I whispered in awe.

"It's what happened after you left. Charlie changed and blamed not only himself, but the town and it wasn't till then that everyone realised that what we had wasn't enough and that they needed to expand. In a way, you are the reason the small town of Forks is now... not so small."

The words she said cut me like a blade, making me realise that not own did I change my family and friends but my leaving made an impact on the town. We finished up and made our way to the counter in a daze, neither passing anyone nor seeing anyone.

"Oh my god, Isabella Swan!" A loud yet alarmingly familiar voice exclaimed from behind the counter top, bringing me out of my daze and into the 'real world'.

"Mike Newton... What a pleasure to see you," I said for lack of any better words.

He stood and opened his mouth to speak, not even realising that I'd taken the basket off Leah and placed it on the surface so I quickly interrupted. "Can I just get these? I am in a bit of a hurry!"

A quick getaway was what I needed whereas people knowing I was back and barging into my life at points where I want, or in some cases needed, to be alone.

He didn't take the hint and got to asking me 'How I was' and 'What I'd being doing with myself' which I quickly, and quite rudely, ended in grunts, groans and few word answers, making Leah chuckle under her breath behind me. Just as he finished packing I threw a fifty over the counter, telling him to keep the change before rushing out, but not before hearing him shout that everyone would be pleased I was back. Damn.

Leah burst out into a loud laughter. "You think it's funny hey?" I asked. "Well just wait until it gets to La Push and the pack and your family find out you're home. You'll never be free and just think of the questions about you and our dear Samuel Winchester?"

"And when Jacob Black finds out your back and begins his many questions, what will you do then?" She asked. That made me worry but I quickly blew it off with a quick smack around her head, laughing, yet my mind worried about exactly what he would ask?

"That isn't a very nice thing to do now is it, Isabella?" A soothing voice said from behind me, the owner of the voice wrapping their arms around me, taking away all my worry and making me think of the present time and what I will do until then.

"And neither is sneaking up on people, Castiel," I whispered, leaning back into his arms and placing a light kiss on his jaw.

"I'll just go wait in the car..." Leah mumbled, grabbing the bags off me and hurrying to the car as Cas bent down to kiss me lightly on the lips.

He span me around in his arms, keeping his lips attached to mine the whole time until I pulled back, grabbing his hands. "Now is not the time, nor is it the place!" I said tapping his on the nose. "And Leah is waiting in the car, it's not fair. Now come on, Sam and Dean are waiting and there is a backseat there with your name on." I winked at him before dropping his hands and running to the driver's seat and starting the ignition. This was my home, with Castiel, the Winchesters and now Leah; they were my family.

He slid into the car quickly, shutting the door as I began to drive off and as I did, I noticed a large, brown wolf padding around the edges of the forest that lined the small shop; a wolf that seemed far more human than animal. A wolf with eyes that were filled with wisdom, an old pain and ebbing confusion... Eyes that held tears that escaped from the edges.

All feelings of home drained away as I caught the eyes of the animal, and at moment, I knew that the rest of my stay in the town of my youth was going to be worse than once expected.

So... Who do you think the wolf is?
But anyway, I'm sorry this is, once again, late, but I am in agony! My hay fever has come back with a vengeance and is leaving me in pain everyday and school, although almost over, is hectic. But the holidays are soon to come so I will hopefully be updating faster!
Please take the time to review, THANKS!
