By God's Grace

Chapter Three

"Be careful. Stay safe. And for the love of God Bella, just be here when I come back." Those were the last things Bobby said to me before he left with Sam and Dean. Leaving me to do all the research on angels, and by all I mean all twelve miles of it. There was so much stuff to read through. It was almost impossible.

I reached for my coffee, but when I took a breath, my breath came out misty. "Oh shit!" I cursed, pulling out my phone and calling Bobby. "Bella? Are you okay?" I looked around, looking for any signs as I moved to the kitchen. "I think there's something here." My eyes widened as I saw the woman in front of me, "Scratch that, I'm sure there's something here." I said and dropped the phone while drawing my salt circle.

"What do you want?" I asked, "You got me killed bitch." I blinked furiously, "No Lia, I didn't." She scoffed, "That demon was looking for you Bella. And it killed me when I wouldn't squeal. Its all your fault." She said and stepped over the circle. I scrambled back, grabbing a gun and shooting. She disappeared, and I ran to the living room.

"Bella!" I heard Dean call. "Dean?" I answered, he ran in and saw me hiding in the corner of the room. "What's going on? Where is it?" I looked over his shoulder, "Right here." Lia growled and kicked him away. "Lia stop it!" I yelled, "Why should I? That didn't stop, no matter how much I begged. I died for you! Because of you Bella." I felt a sob rack my bones.

"I'm sorry Lia. I'm sorry I ran. I'm sorry." I cried tears streaming from my eyes. "Yeah. Get mad!" She said laughing as the wind picked up and papers started flying. "Show me Bella. Use it?" Dean shot her, but she just popped up, "You still haven't told them. Have you?" I focused my energy on her, and she disappeared, only to reappear.

"Haven't told them that you're a freak?" She sneered, "That's enough out of you." Bobby's voice sounded and she disappeared again as a shot sounded. He dragged us all into the study, where he started perform a ritual to banish the risen witnesses. "Come on Bella, you can get rid of me all on your own." Lia taunted as Dean took over the ritual.

"Show them." She growled angrily, shoving me. "Why don't you kiss my ass?" I said frustrated and pissed off, I pushed her back. She grinned, and a bullet whizzed past as Sam shot her. I would have a lot of explaining to do later, when this was all over. Shots flew like we were playing dome supernatural whack-a-mole.

In a flash of blinding blue light, all of the ghosts were gone. We helped Bobby up, after which they all gave me a clear look, my dad cleared his throat and spoke first, "We're having a talk about this." He said, "But first, get some rest. All of you." He said seriously, walking out of the room. Dream looked down at me, "Bell-" I cut him off, "It's been a long day Dean. I want to get some sleep before you dig into me." I said and walked upstairs.

I woke up in the middle of the night because of a breeze blowing in my room, my eyes looked around the room, before coming to rest on something standing in the corner. "Lia?" I questioned softly, "Is that you?" But as soon as I spoke, it was gone. I sighed heavily and turned, shutting my eyes once more.

"So, who's going to start this conversation?" Dean asked while we were sitting around having breakfast the next morning. "Dean." Bobby's voice was low and authoritative. Dean shook his head slowly, "No. We all heard that ghost lady yesterday. So what was she talking about Bella?" I looked away, "Lia." I said, "Her name was Lia." I said, tears beginning to pool in my eyes.

"Pam sent me to her, about six years ago." I said and Bobby nodded, "She helped me find myself in a way." Dean raised an eyebrow, "A little less new agey crap there Bella." Bobby glared darkly in Dean's direction. "Watch it boy." He growled, "No. No Bobby." He said and stood angrily, "She's keeping secrets, big secrets. Maybe even dangerous secrets. So enough watching it." He said, I flinched at the volume and truth of his words.
