So this takes place during Percy's quest in Alaska during The Son of Neptune with Frank and Hazel and right after Edward broke up with Bella during New Moon. Percy was...17? when The Son of Neptune happened, so I'm making Bella a year younger to match the story, therefore she'll be 16 in this story. I also really like the idea of Bella/Nico, so I think that's what this'll be.

Bella POV
'You're no good for me. It'll be like I never existed.' And with that, he disappears.
With a sad sigh, I start walking back to Charlie's house. I really don't care that Edward broke up with me. Hell, I'm not even that upset at how he chose to do it in the middle of the night in the woods where I could be attacked and possibly killed by a wild animal. No, the thing that really bothers me is that he forced his family to leave without so much as a word in farewell. Alice had a vision and IM'd me, saying that Edward was going to break up with me and that he was going to tell the family I wanted them to leave. She said they were going to Alaska, and that she would talk to me as soon as possible.
I guess I should explain, huh? I'm not Isabella Marie Swan, the shy, clumsy daughter of Charlie Swan. I'm actually Arabella Selene Jackson, daughter of Sally Jackson and younger sister of Perseus Jackson. Percy and I are demigods, children of Poseidon. I know, I know. You're probably thinking about how crazy I am and that Edward leaving probably effed up my mind, right? Well, you're wrong. I'm telling the truth. The Greek gods are still around and are up on Mount Olympus watching as we speak. Actually, Olympus is up above the Empire State Building in New York.
Charlie is our uncle, Mom's half brother. They have different dads, hence the different last names. The reason I'm here in Forks is because Percy went missing a while ago and Annabeth and I about lost it. I've been all over the U.S. searching for him, using the Mist to change my appearance and mask my scent so the monsters and the gods have a harder time finding me. Dad practically forbid me from searching for him before the gods went into hiding, saying it was too dangerous out there but I have the find him. Annabeth would be here looking with me, but Chiron needs her at Camp. My cousin Thalia, daughter of Zeus and lieutenant of Artemis, has been searching with the Hunters but so far it's been fruitless.
When I met the Cullens, I knew that Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie were demigods. Emmett's a son of Hermes, Jasper's a son of Athena, Rose is a daughter of Aphrodite who's been blessed by Hephaestus, and Alice is my sister. A daughter of Poseidon born before the pact between the Big Three. They were never claimed in their human lives, and I don't think they'll be claimed until they go to Camp. Alice said that the four of them would keep an eye out for Percy and IM if they hear anything.
All caught up? Okay, where was I? Oh, right. Walking back to Uncle Charlie's. Which reminds me. Charlie knows that Percy and I are demigods, that the Cullens are vampires, and that the Quileutes are wolf shifters. Like my mom, he can see through the Mist.
Walking into the house, I can hear the TV on in the den. And, as expected, Charlie sitting on his recliner.
'Hey, Uncle Charlie.' I say, sitting on the couch with a small sigh.
He presses mute and gives me his full attention. 'What's up, Bells?'
I sigh again and lean forward, lacing my fingers and resting my head on my fists. 'Edward just broke up with me.'
'Isn't that a good thing? You never liked him anyway.'
'He took his family and disappeared to Alaska. His WHOLE family.'
Uncle Charlie gets up and moves to sit by me, patting my back awkwardly. 'Missing Alice?'
I nod, sighing one last time. 'I also miss Emmett, Jasper, and Rose. But they said they'd keep an eye out for Percy, so that's a good thing I guess...'
'I think you should IM Annabeth, see how she's holding up and give her an update on what's happening.' I hear Charlie say as I feel him get up and move to the recliner again, turning the volume on the TV back on.
Getting up, I kiss Charlie on the forehead before going upstairs to IM my soon-to-be sister-in-law...when we find Percy, anyway.
For cases such as this, I have a prism to make rainbows when the sun isn't available. Pulling out a drachma, setting my prism down on my dresser, and positioning a flashlight to where the light filters through the prism to make a rainbow, I toss the gold coin through.
'Oh, Iris, goddess of the rainbow. Accept my offering. Show me Annabeth Chase.'
The rainbow ripples and soon I see Annabeth at the archery range at Camp, curly blonde hair pulled up in a pony tail with that strand of white hanging in her face; the perfect match to my brother's. Her orange Camp t-shirt and cut-off jean shorts look rumpled, as if she threw them on because they were the first things she saw this morning. But what really made me sure that she'd had a rough night last night...she didn't get near the middle of the target. Annabeth always gets at least within an inch of the bulls-eye; she's almost as good as the Apollo cabin and the Hunters.
'Anna?'
She spins around and I notice her eyes are red from crying and they have shadows from lack of sleep. When she sees me, I don't see recognition in her eyes, only confusion. That's when I remember that I don't look like myself. 'Sorry, hang on.'
I snap my fingers and the Mist shifts and fades around me until my dull brown hair is black with green highlights. My chocolate brown eyes change to the deep sea green that I share with my brother and my father. My lips gain some natural red and I grow about an inch and a half. Where Percy and I differ is where he's tan, I'm pale. That's because Hades blessed me during one of the quests Nico and I went on. I saved Nico's life from an empousa and he granted me one ability a child of Hades inherits. I chose shadow travel and as a residual effect of the blessing, my skin stays pale and has a cooler temperature than a normal human. Not quite vampire cold, but cool enough to be noticeable.
'Arabella! Have you found him?' Her expression is hopeful until she sees my apologetic one.
'I'm sorry, Annabeth. But I met four other demigods who volunteered to help search; one of them being mine and Percy's half sister.'
Her eyes widen a fraction. 'Poseidon had another daughter?'
'She was born before the pact.' When she adopts a confused look, I elaborate. 'She's a vampire. Not an empousa, an actual vampire. Hades and Aphrodite decided to experiment together, I guess. Anyways, I called to check in, see how you and Nico are doing.'
Annabeth knows I have a thing for the son of Hades. That's a small part of why I saved his life that day. I keep telling her it's just a crush, but she keeps insisting we'll get together in the end.
'Nico's fine. He's been searching for Percy too, so he's only ever at Camp to check in on me. He was headed to California last he said, why don't you see if you can catch up with him there?'
As I'm about to answer, I hear someone call out my name and when I turn around, I see it's Alice. 'Alice? What's up, did you find anything?'
'I'm not sure if this is the right guy because I've only seen him in pictures you've shown me...but I think we found him.'
Let me clear up anything that may seem confusing. Alice, Rose, Emmett, and Jasper were never claimed when they were human due to the fact that not all demigods were claimed before Percy defeated Kronos and made all of the gods claim their children. Being that Alice was turned before the pact between the Big Three and the fact that Poseidon never claimed her, Zeus and Hades never knew she existed; avoiding another situation like Nico's and Bianca's. Being that they're vampires, only a highly trained demigod, a satyr, or a god would know they're demigods and who their godly parent is. Until they set foot in Camp, the gods won't know who they are. Edward, Carlisle, and Esme won't be demigods but they won't be antagonists. Anyways, hasta luego mi pastelitos, good damn bye
