This is only a short prologue to a much larger story. I hope you'll enjoy this small bit :)

Disclaimer (for this chapter and those to come until this story is complete): I do not own Twilight OR Percy Jackson and the Olympians!

Bella POV

He had lied to me and then left me. He had broken me beyond repair… or so I thought. Now I knew that wasn't so. He might have broken me, but I could be repaired. Jacob had already fixed a large part of me by showing me that I was worth fighting for. He cared for me when I was down and showed me that life was still worth living. Of course I knew all that, but being left by someone you love just makes you feel like you don't want to exist anymore.

I was free from him now and I was going to celebrate it. I was once again going to embrace my true nature which I had been suppressing ever since I arrived in Forks. Jacob had told me that this was the best place to do it, but had also insisted on us doing this together as it would be too dangerous for me alone. I had agreed with him at that moment, but had laughed at him in my head. He had no idea who I really was so I hadn't laughed out loud. If he knew who I was then he probably wouldn't insist on going with me.

As I moved closer to the edge of the cliff I breathed in the smell of the ocean. It was so familiar and made me feel at home immediately. I was a bit afraid of the drop down as Jacob had told me that it would feel like flying. Not that I was afraid of the water below, but flying and I didn't really see eye to eye. I took a deep breath, once again feeling at home with the ocean smell around me, but didn't jump just yet. Instead I closed my eyes and let the image of my best friend and personal sun appear in my mind's eye. 'Thank you for everything, Jacob,' I whispered.

I moved my feet forward now and a second later I was tumbling through the air. Jacob had been wrong, this wasn't like flying. I had flown before, but this was just like the time I had fallen out of a tree and into a river. The fear of being struck down because of the fact I might be flying left me and I let myself enjoy the fast fall towards the welcoming ocean.

The moment my body made contact with the water I was revived and complete. I scolded myself for not doing this sooner, but that was all in the past now. I was where I belonged and I knew where I had to go. I willed the currents to do my bidding, said one final farewell to Forks, Jacob, Billy and Charlie before launching myself further into the ocean and back to the family and friends I hadn't spoken to for over a year now.

Let me know what you think! I'd love to get some feedback as to whether I should continue with this or not :)
