Stupid Pretty Vampire-Gods

Yes! Back at Camp Half Blood, I thought as I slopped my suitcase onto the floor of cabin three, where I lived alone, because I was the only half blood son of the sea god, Poseidon.

Last summer I lived through a heck of a lot with my two best friends, Annabeth, who is a half blood also, and Grover, a satyr who; now is on a journey that no satyr has returned from.

Thinking about Grover made me slow a little bit in the whole "so glad to be back at camp where I belong" mood. I hated thinking that he would not return, but maybe he's out there having the time of his life, laughing with Pan right now.

School had kind of been fun this year. I managed straight Cs, and one B in Greek mythology. I even pulled a C- in English, despite my dyslexia.

After I put my things away, I went to go see Annabeth. She was carrying her luggage to her cabin. I offered to carry it for her, but she just blushed and muffled a no-thanks.

"How was life without monsters and Hades and Ares?" I asked, secretly truly concerned about her stay with her half sisters that supposedly hated her, and her step dad.

She grinned. "Amazing."

I internally sighed in relief.

"Me and my mortal family have so much in common. We were inseparable. We designed a temple of Zeus together, and that kept us occupied the whole year. . ."

I was glad she had such a great time this summer, but my ADD wasn't gonnna let me pay attention much longer to a concrete block's dimensions. Thankfully she paused and asked how my year away from the camp went.

"Pulled some good grades, for me at least, and spent time with my mom. It was great."

I wanted to continue about how we got rid of smelly Gabe, but she was looking away, not listening to me. I wasn't mad; I know what ADD does to you.

I followed her gaze to a tall, very pale stiff guy with a gorgeous chick with the same complexion and stiffness next to him. I immediately began staring at them, but probably not for the same reason as Annabeth. The girl was absolutely beautiful, more so than the daughters of Aphrodite. Unbelievable.

I snapped out of it. The guy was pretty buff looking, but not ripped. Even though I was a guy myself, I could see why Annabeth would want to stare.

For a completely unkown reason, I didn't like that Annabeth was staring at another guy. I waved my hand in front of her face.

She blushed again and looked back at me. "That's cool." She said with a fake smile. I will never understand girls.

The next day at breakfast, we ate in a kind of ackwardness. To make conversation, I asked, "Whatcha think Grover's doing right now?"

A look crossed her face that told me she was just as worried about him as I was. "I don't even know what to think. I've been wondering about him myself."

That was the last of conversation for the rest of the day.

I woke up with a jerk. My dream had consisted none of its normal content. I shook my head, remembering.

Grover was sitting on a couch, eating aluminum cans. A very short and thin teenage girl was sitting next to him. She had the same color of skin that the two model worthy freaks that I saw earlier that day had. Weird. The part that made it a nightmare was when the short teenager, beautiful also, was leaning toward Grover's neck very slowly. She smiled; showing a brilliant set of sharp albino teeth. Then my stupid self had to wake up before I found out what happened.

Of course Annabeth managed to get me to tell her my creepy dream. I made sure that the paper white stiff beauty freaks weren't around before I told her.

She sat silent a while; thinking. Her head jerked up, startling me, and her eyes closed. Great. The daughter of the goddess of wisdom had thought of something, and believed her idea was true enough to be afraid of it.

"Do you think. . ." she paused, leaving the air mysterious. Them she continued, no longer in question. She knew what was up, and she was oddly grinning. "I'm going to get myself an autograph. Their the vampires from the book series that I read this year with my mortal family. They don't hurt humans. They feed on animals. The little one that you saw on the couch with Grover was probably Alice. She's my favorite."

A sudden though occureed to me that Grover was in trouble. He wasn't completely human. I voiced this to Annabeth.

"Oh. I didn't think of it that way. We need to go to Forks, Washington immediately."

Again; I will never understand girls. But I knew that she was trustable because she was the daughter of Athena. So I went with her to explain all of this to Chiron and get permission to go way out of state.

Surprisingly, he agreed quickly after he mumbled something about how we always caused the trouble in the west.

Annabeth and I set out the next morning, but with unexpected help. The weird stiff guy and his girlfriend went with us.

"We need to go with you." He had said. "I'm Edward and this is my wife, Bella."

Bella giggled at the word "wife." They looked way too young to be married. I smiled and welcomed them anyway. Annabeth didn't seem to mind their company, so I could put up with them too.

We couldn't fly because of a prior experience, so it took us a few days to ride all the way to Washington.

It was a dark, rainy, and depressing place in Forks, Washington. It was also tiny. There were no tall buildings or bus stations. I glanced out the window of Edward's brother, Emmett's Jeep and noticed that there were no other vampires around. There must only be one family. The Cullens must be the guys in charge.

"How do you hide it from mortals? I mean. . . wouldn't someone realize that you never eat? Or that you are paper white? Mortals aren't as stupid as you would think."

Edward chuckled, and Bella looked mesmerized for some reason as she watched his face. "My creator, Carlisle whom I also call a father, has his ways of connecting to humans. That is why we don't feed on them. We have certain friendships. He is a doctor and he practices medicine. He is the best man I know. He encourages all of us not to indulge in human blood, no matter how hard that might be." He winked at Bella and she sighed and smiled a gorgeous smile. I shuddered at what that might mean.

"What do you mean by 'all of us?'" I asked. Was there a whole army of these vegetarian blood drinking good looking creeps? I shuddered once more.

"There is only one family of us in this area. There is me, Bella, Carlisle, Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Esme, and of course our little Renesme. Emmet and Roslie are married, Alice and Jasper are married, Esme is our immortal mother, and Renesme is the one of a kind half human half vampire. She was born when Bella still a human."

I wondered if it would be rude to ask why Edward and Bella showed up at Camp Half Blood but I didn't even need to ask. Edward seemed to be a mind reader.

"You must be wondering why we cam e to Camp Half Blood," he said. Extra creepy. "Carlisle and I were going through my family tree book and researched my mother's name. To our surprise, my mother was Aphrodite. So I am a half god and a vampire."

So that was why Annabeth stared all the time. Edward pumped up the weirdness level when he grinned at Annabeth and she blushed. I felt a small spark of resentment form in the back of my personality toward Edward. Wow.

Edward changed the subject and interrupted my wondering about which was stronger; two vampires or a half god. I also wondered which side Ananbeth would choose.

"Grover is a satyr, you say?" Edward asked.

Wrong thing to ask. How would he know? Suspition bubbled into my mind, and he seemed to sense this.

"I saw it in the handbook of current events. He got his searching liscense and is off to look for Pan now. "

Lucky save. Now I wont have to worry about getting away with messing him up because he spied on Annabeth and me talking. I wondered where it had talked about Grover in the handbook of current events. I thought it was supposed to be all top secret. Oh well.

"Where do you guys think you might find Grover? Would Alice really. . . "

Edward seemed to know what I was trying to ask.

"As long as he is part human I don't think she would hunt him for food purposes.

I sighed again. Phew. Then why did I have that stupid dream? Id just have to figure it out.
