Chapter 4: Changes

Bella's Point of View

My alarm woke me up and I got up for school. Jo and Sam were still crashed out which didn't surprise me. I grabbed the keys to the truck and left them a note saying that the keys to the mustang were in case they needed to go anywhere. I knew the trouble I was going to be in from Jake and Edward, but I really didn't care. They had been so overbearing and bossy especially since Edward came back that I can't handle it anymore. I have to have some sort of freedom. That's when my cell rang;

"Hello." I answered.

"Hey Bells." Uncle Charlie said.

"Hey Uncle Charlie what's up?" I asked pulling into the school parking lot.

"I just wanted to make sure you were up for school; the way Jake acted when he got home you had a lot of fun." Uncle Charlie chuckled.

"Yeah we had fun and I think I surprised the hell out of them." I said.

"Yeah well we will talk about it later; have a good day." Charlie said and we hung up.

I got out of my car and walked towards the school trying to ignore Alice, Jasper, and Edward's stares.

"Bella!" Alice yelled and ran over to me at human speed.

"Hey Alice." I said not looking her in the eye.

"Don't worry we aren't mad, just a little surprised at your actions." She said trying to comfort me.

"Yea well what you saw last night is a part of me that I've kept under wraps because you guys are always so protective." I explained.

"So why did you do it?" she asked.

I sighed, "Alice I appreciate the fact that you guys want to protect me, but I can hold my own and when Jo and Sam came into town it was like old times with us minus Dean."

"Your other brother?" she questioned.

"Yeah the four of us used to go out all the time like that; I miss it." I said sadly.

"Bella I'm sorry." Alice said.

"Don't be; look I've got history and I will see you all at lunch okay." I said and didn't wait for an answer.

Jasper was in my second period, but we didn't say anything since we had our final today. After that I pretty much counted the minutes until I would have to face all three of them. I walked into the cafeteria alone and there they were sitting with Mike, Angela, Eric, and Jessica.

"Bella, you're just in time; we are talking about my speech." Jessica said. "Mike and Eric keep telling me to embrace the clichés."

"That's what makes all good valedictorians." Mike reasoned.

"Jess doesn't need clichés; her speech is going to be epic." I said and everyone laughed.

Edward leaned close to me, "We need to talk."

I sighed and was about to say something until I heard, "Excuse me Ladies and Gentlemen, but I am looking for my little sister Bella."

Dean's Point of View

After I hung up with Sam I talked to Dad and told him I was going to go ahead and leave for Forks. He was okay with it and said he would join in a few days. After talking to Bella I had to see her; yeah she had left, but I could forgive that. I drove the rest of the night and got to Uncle Charlie's at about 11:30 and knocked on the door.

Sam answered, "Dean what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Well you two are here, Bella's here, I thought what the hell get the four horsemen back together." I said and he laughed.

Jo, Sam, Bella, and I called ourselves that since we always caused mayhem wherever we went.

"Well come on in." Sam said.

"Hey Jo." I said.

"Well looks like Dean decided to join the party finally." Jo teased.

"So where's Bella?" I asked.

"At school." Sam said.

"So how is she?" I asked.

"Really happy." Jo answered. "So your dad better not screw it up."

That was the wrong button to push, "Jo leave him out of this; he has done nothing, but be good to Bella." I said.

"Oh yeah was that before or after he hit her." Jo said and then covered her mouth.

"What?" I asked.

"Great Jo; now we have to tell him." Sam said and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Tell me what Sam." I said.

That's when he explained everything; why Bella left, why she hates Dad, and everything he ever said or did to her. To say I was pissed is an understatement; how could he do that to Bella. Finding this out answered a lot of questions as far as her hair and eye color went. I wanted to call Dad, but Sam wouldn't let me; he said I needed to talk to Bella first.

"Fine, she's at lunch right?" I asked.

"Yeah." Sam answered.

"Oh I want to come." Jo said.

"No, you guys got your Bella time last night now it's my turn." I said and headed to my car.

"Dean!" Sam yelled and I turned to look at him, "When you see her boyfriend don't freak let her explain."

"I don't know what that means but ok." I said and drove to the school.

The cafeteria wasn't hard to find, but finding Bella in the mass of students was; it was like a Where in the Hell is Waldo picture.

So I did the only thing I could think of, "Excuse me Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm looking for my little sister Bella."

Everyone turned to look at me and I continued, "Have any of you seen her?" I asked.

No one answered; they were all shell shocked at me. That's when I felt something hit the back of my head, "Ouch Damn it; what the hell?" I said.

"Dean Anthony Winchester; do you have to make a spectacle of yourself all the time?" someone behind me asked. I turned and saw Bella standing up with her hands on her hips. "Well are you going to answer me or just stand there rubbing your head; I wonder can you rub your head and pat your belly at the same time?" she asked.

I smirked and walked over to her, "Now is throwing an apple at your big brother's head an appropriate greeting?"

"It is when said big brother makes an ass out of himself and embarrasses the hell out of his little sister." She retorted.

"Brat." I said.

"Bitch." She replied.

I laughed, I called Sam bitch and Bella called me bitch; it was a vicious circle. I leaned and gave her a hug. When I looked over her shoulder at the peopled sitting next to her three faces stood out the most. They were as pale as a corpse and my hunter instincts told me what they were.

Bella felt me tense and whispered, "Dean calm down; I will explain and before you ask yes I know."

I pulled back and looked at her, "Then why?"

"Not here Dean." She said.

"Fine." I said and grabbed her bag pulling her away.

"Where are you going Bella?" the bronze hair pale face guy asked grabbing Bella's other hand.

I quickly whipped around, "Get your hands off my sister." I growled.

By this time the entire cafeteria was looking, but I didn't give a damn.

"Edward I'm going to explain some things to my brother; I will see you later tonight." Bella said.

"The hell you will." I replied.

"Dean back off." Bella warned.

"Bella I don't think it's a good idea for you to go with him." Bronze boy said.

"Stay out of this ass and I thought I said get your hands off my sister." I snapped.

"Dean, Edward both of you quit it." Bella said and pulled me away.

I whispered so he could hear me, "You're dead for touching my sister vamp." We got to the car and I turned to her, "What the hell are you thinking? Why haven't you killed them?" I snapped.

"What kind of girlfriend would I be if I kill my boyfriend?" Bella asked me innocently.

"You're dating a vampire!" I yelled.

"Yes Dean and I love him." She said.

"They can't love Bella!" I said.

"Yes they can; please let me explain." She said.

I listened patiently as she told me everything about the Cullen's and her life the last three years. I freaked a little at the werewolves.

"Are you happy with him?" I asked feeling defeated.

"Yes." She said.

"And this vamp after you…" I started.

"Is no concern for you or the others." She stated.

"Bella you are my sister and if some evil bitch is after you I'm not leaving you alone." I said.

"I will be fine and I won't allow you to get mixed up in this; you need to find yellow eyes." She said.

We glared at each other for a while until finally I spoke, "Okay we aren't going to get anywhere right now with this whole vampire after you so let's just drop it." I know it sounds like I was giving up, but I wasn't I was just waiting until I could get Sam and Jo were with me. Three against one, I liked those numbers better.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"You will see." I said smirking. In all the chaos of finding out about Bella's vampire boyfriend I forgot about the whole Dad thing, "I know what Dad did."

Out of the corner of my eye Bella froze, "When?" she asked.

"Jo let it slip when I got to Uncle Charlie's." I said.

"Dean…." She started.

I cut her off, "Bella you should have told me; I could of protected you."

"Dean I know how much you look up to him and I didn't want you to hate him." She said.

We drove the rest of the way in silence until we hit Port Angeles. "Here we are." I said as we stopped outside of a beauty salon.

"What are we doing here?" she asked.

I turned to her and said, "I want my sister back; I know why you started dying your hair and all that shit. No more Bella."

"Dean please; it would just be easier with John coming in…" she said.

"No." I said cutting her off, "John can kiss your ass and mine and Sam's. It doesn't matter what he wants; Bella this brown hair and contacts, that's not you and mom wouldn't have wanted you to look like this."

"Alright." She said and got out of the car.

I waited in the car for about an hour and a half. I heard the door open and the sight that met my eyes shocked me.

Bella's Point of View

I couldn't even look in the mirror because I was so afraid; I hadn't seen myself blonde in over seven years. I walked out of the salon and when I saw Dean's face I just about walked back in to have them dye it.

"It's bad isn't it?" I said.

"No, no, no," he said getting out of the car. "Have you seen yourself?" I shook my head no and he turned me to look into the window. There I could have sworn was my mother when she was younger.

"Oh my god." I said.

"You look just like her." Dean said smiling. "Now this is my little sister."

I stood there for I don't know how long just looking at myself; I had one picture of my mother and I had it memorized in my brain. The girl in the mirror was the spitting image of her.

"Come on; I want to officially meet your boyfriend, your friend and their families." Dean said pulling me away from the window.

We drove back to Forks in silence and I was still in shock at my appearance.

"We are going to stop by and pick up Sam and Jo; call your boyfriend and friend." Dean said.

I got out my phone and called Edward, "Bella where are you?" he asked answering on the first ring.

"I'm heading back to Forks; look my brothers want to officially meet you guys and the pack, can we come over?" I asked.

"Yes of course, but Bella what's wrong?" he asked me.

"Nothing's wrong I'm just a little shocked right now." I replied.

"Why?" he asked.

"You'll see; I will see you in about thirty minutes." I said and hung up.

I called Jake next, "You have some major explaining to do." He growled.

"Jake just meet me at the Cullen's in thirty minutes." I said and hung up.

"That the werewolf?" Dean asked.

"Yeah; Dean please try and behave." I said.

"I'm not promising anything." He said.

We pulled up to Uncle Charlie's, Jo and Sam were outside.

Jo ran up to the car first and started to apologize until she saw me, "OH MY GOD BELLA!" she screamed.

"What's going on?" Sam asked and then looked at me, "WOW." Was all he said.

"Alright you two yes Bella is back to being blonde and blue eyed; it's not that big of a deal." Dean said and then winked at me.

I mouthed thank you and we were off.

"So we finally get to meet everyone." Jo said, but she was still staring.

"Yep." I said.

"Should we bring in any weapons?" she asked.

I laughed, "No Jo; the most you will get is Rosalie being bitchy." I said.

"Well if she wants to be a bitch I can be a bigger one." Jo retorted.

We pulled up the house, "Wow." Dean said.

"You can say that again." Sam said as we got out of the impala.

"Esme designed it herself." I said.

Alice opened the door and immediately stopped, "Bella?" she asked looking at me.

I nervously touched my hair, "Yea it's me." I said.

"You look…." She trailed off, "You look different."

"Is that bad?" I asked regretting my decision.

"No just it's more you and I'm adjusting." Alice said and hugged me.

"Thanks; Alice this is my brother Sam and my other brother Dean and Jo here is my sister from another mister." I said

"Nice to meet you I'm Alice." She said, but stopped at Dean and became very tense. Next thing I knew Jasper was at her side, "Jasper these are Bella's brothers Sam and Dean and this is Jo."

"Nice to meet you." Jasper said stiffly then he looked at me and did a double take. "Bella?"

"Yes it's me Jasper." I said. "Look I promise Dean will be on his best behavior."

"Yeah right." Dean muttered.

"Dean I have been able to whip your ass since I was 7 do you want me to do in front of everyone?" I asked.

"Alright; I Dean Winchester promise to behave like a good little bitch. Scout's honor." Dean said and I started laughing.

We walked into the house and I took a deep breath before I faced the others.

Edward's Point of View

I could hear Bella and her brothers down stairs as did everyone else. I heard steps coming up the stairs and the first ones to come in were Jasper and Alice. I saw a head of blonde hair who I assumed to be Jo, but I was dead wrong. There standing in front of us was Bella, but she was blonde and her eyes were this deep blue. I was mesmerized;

"Bella what did you do?" Rose asked.

"I went back to my natural look; if it's horrible I'll dye my hair back." She said looking at me and Jake.

"The hell you will; if they don't like what you really look like than you don't need them." Dean said.

Jake growled, "This coming from the guy who sides with an abuser."

"Cut it out all of you; Dean just found out today and I don't want John brought up. If he is I'm leaving; are we clear?" Bella said with authority. We all nodded in agreement and Bella smiled, "Good, now let me officially introduce everyone. Jake, Jared, Paul, Embry, Sam, Emily, Leah, Seth, Quil, Carlisle, Esme, Rose, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Edward I would like you to meet my big brothers Dean and Sam and this fireball blonde is Jo my surrogate sister." Bella said and then she introduced us.

"So…." Dean trailed.

"Are you hungry?" Esme asked.

Bella laughed, "Esme when it comes to Dean he is always hungry like the pack."

"Well then how about everyone have dinner here; Bella call your father and Billy." Esme said and ran off to start cooking.

The rest of us stood in the living room in awkward silence waiting for someone to say something.

A/N: Okay I am so sorry for the long wait, but I have been so busy with getting ready for school, and then I went out of town I put this story on hold, but now I'm back. Review and let me know what you think.
