Hey, I am so sorry it took me so long to write this chapter. I hope you didn't mind such a long wait and I promise to try and update more often.

Previously...

"So, what do you suggest we do." Edward asked.

Dean didn't say anything. Instead he glanced rapidly around him searching for something. Then he grabbed a white board pen and began to draw symbols on the walls. Symbols to block angels, to trap angels and symbols to repel angels.

"There. As long as these are up no body is coming in." Dean said, while the rest of us just nod, silently wait for the inevitable.

Chapter 8

"No angels are coming in and no one is coming out." Dean said throwing the pen to the ground.

Bella prayed that he was right, but then stopped, remembering that there was no one to pray too anymore. There was no one in Heaven to listen to such prayers. So instead Bella listened, she listened for the words of the angels. Pushing aside the panicked cries and calls for help, she finally heard them. "They're coming." She announced.

"Who are?" Edward asked.

Bella had forgotten that Edward was still so new to this world that she had opened up for him. He was like a newborn baby, no angel has been in his presence until her and Cassiel, he knows nothing of the Heavenly beings except for the fact that they DO exist.

"The angels. They want Cassiel. They blame him for being caste out of their homes. They blame him even though Metatron is the real enemy." Bella told Edward, who just nodded his head in understanding.

Edward was the first to hear the loud ringing that was the speech of the angels when they were in their true forms and then Dean and Cassiel heard them too. Bella, Bella heard the actual conversation. After all she was still an angel.

"We have them."

"Kill them."

"Get Cassiel. Destroy him."

"Take us back."

Bella hated how their voices were filled with rage, hatred and blood lust. These, these things, they were no longer angels. Their powers may be that of an angel, their appearances may be that of an angel, but they no longer have the capacity for compassion, mercy and kindness. They were no longer what He made them to be. They were no longer protectors and guides for mankind, they were falling from grace.

"Okay." Dean suddenly announced. "You," He pointed towards Bella. "Heal him." Then as the eldest Winchester walked to the door he said. "Open the door for no one but me."

Bella nodded and rushed over to Sam's side, she was about to get to work healing him when she suddenly remembered. "Dean." She called as he opened the door. The Winchester turned toward her and she threw him Hail's angel sword. "Take it."

With one last nod, Dean ran out the door to face whatever angel got in his way. Vaguely, Bella heard the breaking of glass, she could almost see it litter the floor daring anymore to run on its deadly edges, but she ignored it and instead turned back to Sam. He was so close to death, she could feel it. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about Samuel Winchester dying. It just didn't seem right. The world without Sam would surely crush Dean and the fight against demons would be non-existent. Father knew that they were special, and despite them being on Lucifer's list, He was willing to take them into Heaven when it was their time. Out of all the humans, the Winchester's deserved Paradise the most, just not yet. It wasn't Sam's time to go.

Edward watched as Bella chewed nervously on her lip, glade that she still held some of her human habits. Moments after Dead had left the hospital room, the fire alarm rang and Edwards vampire hearing allowed him to hear the Winchester shout, "Everybody out! Now!"

"Edward." Edward turned his attention back to Bella as she murmured his name softly. "Go. Go and help him. I'm be fine here. The symbols will protect me and I have Castiel as well."

"Bella..." Edward started but stopped himself. Did he really have a right to deny her a request like this? If it wasn't for him she would have lived longer than she had in the first place. Did he really had a right to be selfish again? What if that selfishness caused harm to her like it already has? No, he couldn't do that again.

Sighing, Edward dropped his head and nodded slowly. "Okay."

"Here." Bella said.

Edward caught a flash of silver and he swiped the object out of the air. "It is my angel sword and the only thing that will kill an angel. I want it back." Bella announced, which caused the vampire to smile a little. The sword in his hand looked more like a silver stake than a sword but the elegance of the object was definitely fit for an angel, his angel. Then at vampire speed, Edward was gone.

"Come on, Sam. Stop being so stubborn." Bella spoke to herself. Physically Sam was completely healed, however it seemed that him mind was greatly damaged. She had two choices: either go into his mind now and leave herself completely open for an attack or wait until Dean and Edward return. Okay, so there wasn't much of a choice. If she waited Sam would only get closer and closer to death and that would make it much harder to pull him out of it.

Turning to Castiel, the brunette angel said. "Keep an eye out, Castiel. I need to go into him mind to finish the healing."

The elder angel just nodded him head.

Shaking her head, Bella turned back to the youngest Winchester and sighed, "I hope this works." Lifting her hand to his forehead, Bella let a large amount of her energy pour into Sam's mind and she allowed her essence to go with it. They gave her the ability to delve deep into the mind of anyone who is open to her, although not psychically.

Once Bella was in Sam's head, it all made sense to her. Why Sam wasn't waking up? Why his mind remind inactive? Why the doctors thought it was near impossible for him to wake up? The answer to these questions were simple: Sam was unsure of whether he wanted to live or die. I didn't know whether to be happy about the fact that he was considering not dying or anger over the fact that he was giving up on life.

"It's over." Sam's voice echoed through the trees that Sam's mind had created. "There is nothing to fight for."

Bella got closer to his voice only to hear another along with it. "You know you don't believe that Sam." It was Dean, or at least a Dean that Sam's mind had created.

"Of yeah, Dean. So what's your plan."

"His plan is me." Bella said as she walked out of the trees shadows. She thought now was the best time to reveal herself.

"Who are you?" Both Sam and mind Dean said at the same time.

"I am Bella and I am here to save Sam."

"What if I don't want to be saved."

"Why you..." Dean started.

"The only thing that is stopping you is you Sam. This is your mind. If Dean is the part of you that wants to fight then why don't you listen to him. If you are waving so much then why don't you remember. Remember all of those time that the Winchester brothers have cheated death." Bella tried.

Sam looked at Bella right in the eyes. "And what if I don't want to cheat death anymore. I should have only had to die once. I want to die, it is what I want." Sam turned away and began walking toward a house.

Her time was running out, Bella could feel it, she was growing weaker. "If you had given up the first time you died, how many people would have died if you weren't there to help them? If Dean had given up, how many would have died? There is a reason why God and the Death has let you live this long. No one will admit it, the angels are too damn prideful for that, but you are needed. I have watched this world for hundreds of years, I have seen you and your brother defy death. If you give up now then what have you been fighting for all this time?"

Mind Dean smiled at Sam and Bella and faded away. His job was done. "In that house, only death is waiting, but you ain't done yet. You have fought too hard and too long to give up now just when your brother needs you most. Now wait the hell up!" Bella shouted and then her time was up.

Bella's essence was suddenly sucked from Sam and returned to her own body. She still heard the sounds of glass breaking and the alarm ringing. She didn't know what was happening but she could sense that somewhere out there Edward was fighting. Every now and then she felt the power surge as another angel died. However she didn't turn away from Sam's face. 'Come on.' Her mind pleaded. 'Come on, damn it.'

Then just as she was about to give up, Sam gasped and jerked awake. "Took you long enough." Bella wanted to sound sarcastic but instead her voice came out an exhausted murmur.

BANG! Sam, Castiel and Bella's heads snapped to the door where they heard wood breaking. But instead of the expected invasion, they heard a loud pain-filled scream and saw an eye-burning light. Followed by another.

"Dean." Sam called huskily. His throat scratchy and dry.

"Sammy!" Dean's voice sounded from the other side of the door. Seconds later, both Dean and Edward were standing in the hospital room once more. "You did it." Dean's voice was one of disbelief.

"You make it sound like you never believed I could." Bella breathed out.

"H-How?" Dean said.

"I... had to... heal his mind. It took a while to convince him. Sorry..." Bella murmured. "I had to go inside... for a minute..."

"You, what?" Dean shouted.

"Dean, it's okay. I am fine." Sam told his brother, calming down his rage. In truth, he didn't like the fact the the angel had possessed him, even for such a small amount of time but he knew it was necessary.

Castiel was shocked that the female angel was able to heal Sam so completely. She was certainly more powerful than most angels. Maybe it was because he fall hadn't dealt her much damage or maybe it was her raw potential and pure soul. Yes, that had to be it. Castiel had remembered the time when she had arrived in Heaven. Despite her death, she felt no ill will towards the race that had caused it. Despite her life, she never hated what her parents had forced upon her. She truly was of pure heart and soul.

"Bella, love. Are you alright?" Edward asked going over to her.

Bella just nodded her head and whispered, "Tired... I used up a lot of energy."

Edward smiled at her, bent down and swung her up into his arms. "Then rest." He said and kissed her forehead.

Once again, I am sorry this chapter took so long. I hoped you like it and please review.
