"Is that...?" I whispered to Leah who was staring intently at the wolf.
"It's Quil, Jacob is running this way and Sam is in the trees behind him," Leah spoke, her voice layered with a sense of instinct. "Drive faster!" And I did just that.
I couldn't just get out of the car and have a conversation in the middle of the road with a pair of naked males, who just happen to be creatures of the supernatural world; creatures I have killed before but will never admit to. Castiel teleported to the house to warn the brothers' about what could be incoming guests with a quick promise of meeting me back at the house, which only made me drive faster.
It took less than five minutes to arrive back to the house, the whole way with Leah giving me a commentary on the whereabouts of the wolves and who it looked like was following us in the trees.
"Bella!" Dean shouted before running off the porch and grabbing me out of the car, hugging me, Sam doing the same to Leah and Castiel yanking the shopping off the back seat.
We were there for less than a minute before Leah tensed, stepping out of Sam's arms and turning to face the woods that surrounded the house. "They're here..." She whispered as shadows emerged from the depth of the trees, Sam leading with Jacob, Quil, Embry, Seth, Jared and Paul following behind him.
Leah walked to me, linking my arm as we both stepped forwards as a way of greeting to the people we once thought of as family, and in some ways still did.
"Bella- Leah-" Seth shouted running towards us before Sam grabbed his arm, using this alpha voice to command him to stop.
"Get off him!" Leah screeched running forwards and yanking her brother's arm from the grasp of the person who broke not only her heart, by her, in two. Seth looked torn, but wrapped his arms around Leah before walking forward and holding me to me him as well.
"Why are you here?" A guarded sounding Jacob said stepping forward with Quil and Embry flanking him while the rest of the Pack muttered crude remarks and glared at us.
"Why do you think she's here?" Dean shouted, coming forward and wrenching me out of Seth's grasp, tucking me against his chest. "Her Father has just died and she's come for the funeral, as most sane people would do!"
Small droplets of moisture dripped off my face and onto Dean's t-shirt, making me realise I was crying. Castiel walked forward and took my hand, staring blankly at the people in front of us.
"Samuel Levi Uley, I ask that you tell your pack to stand down and stop harassing people that have done nothing wrong." He said with his voice filled with confidence, making Sam do just that.
Dean went to let go of me but without the strength of his hold my knees gave out and I crumbled to the floor, Castiel catching me just before I hit it.
Sam walked forward and crouched before my slumped figure with Castiel taking a defensive stance to my left, Leah to my right and the brothers flanking us.
"All I ask is that you hear us out," Sam said, directly to me, ignoring everyone else.
"You talk as the leader of your pack, do you not?" I asked Sam, waiting briefly until he nodded his head. "Then only you need to be present in this conversation. I am not willing to have the whole Pack in the house of my now deceased Father when all you have done is give hostile glares and whispered remarks.
"The only people welcome over that threshold are you Sam, Seth and Jared. As for the rest, I ask that they leave."
Everyone looked as though they were about to speak out against this but Sam turned around to them, a look of set determination on his face as he began to speak, using his Alpha voice.
"This is probably the only way we will ever know what happened, why Bella left, how Leah disappeared and what happened to Charlie before he died, maybe even why he died. So if I stand any chance of finding out the mysteries we have been searching for then you will listen now, and you will leave. Does anyone here disagree with that?" Sam said, challenging anyone to come forward.
Paul stepped forward. "I don't see why you should go in there virtually unprotected! They could kill you in a matter of seconds!" He shouted.
"We would not kill him without a reason and we have no reason. He has not caused a threat to anyone, nor has he harmed anyone therefore we will not attack." Sam Winchester said, standing beside Leah who looked up at him with a look of pure love.
"Everyone, go! If I see you anywhere near here, or eavesdropping in on the discussion at hand, you will be on patrol every night for the next month!" Sam commanded, everyone bowing their heads under the weight of the command, bar Leah, Seth and Jared and leaving.
"So..." I began. "We should go inside!" I said, holding my hand out to Castiel who helped me to my feet, who led the increasingly larger group of people inside the house, to start the beginning of what could become a long day.
Okay guys! I've finished school but I'm camping for a week and will be back a week on Monday, so after Monday expect longer chapters and faster chapters too!
Just remember, read and review! Thanks!
