***Chapter 2***

I froze, was he talking about who I was I was thinking of. If he was, I am going to die. Not really, but this will be the worst year of my life.

"The Cullens will be staying with us until the war is won. They will be trained just like a normal camper. Before I forget, I warn you that the Cullens are vampires," Pandemonium broke. Campers were shouting about how unfair this was and how dangerous it was. "BUT!" Chiron shouted. "They are vegetarian, as in they feed off animals instead of humans. To make sure they stick to this diet, Mr. D had placed a short spell on each of them. Keeping them from smelling your blood." Everyone gave a collective sigh of relief, I didn't. "Now, I need you all to get back to your cabins for its almost time for lights out. Tomorrow, training will resume as usual. The Cullens will be sleeping in the big house for the time being. That is all."

I slowly headed back to my cabin. Ready to crash for the night. Hopefully I could avoid the Cullens and they would never know that I was Bella Swan.


I woke up around dawn and decided to do my daily rounds. As I wasn't biased and didn't have a cabin, Chiron elected me to wake everybody up in the mornings. I grabbed a large trumpet and ran to the campfire in the middle of the cabin square. There Hestia was tending to the fire. We exchanged nods, and I started playing "First Call". It was that song that the military played to wake people up in the mornings. Slowly people started emerging from their cabins, groggily heading toward the track. Some glared at me, but I knew it was only because they were sleep deprived. The Cullens emerged from the Big House, seeming confused to why camp seemed to be run like a military base. They seemed to be heading toward me to ask for instructions, but before they reach me, I joined the throng of people and started jogging around the track. Usually I sped up and lapped all the campers still half-asleep. But this time I didn't want to grab unnecessary attention so I slowed down. Matching the others slow pace.

"I don't know how you get up so freaking early." said Annabeth, as she sped up a little to catch up to me. I laughed, feeling free for the first time in my life. Annabeth looked at me weirdly, but shrugged it off and concentrated on staying awake. Finally, Chiron emerged from the Big House and called an end to the jogging. Almost everyone collapsed to the ground but me, Annabeth, Percy, Nico, and the Cullens. Annabeth beckoned to the Cullens to follow her, and we all walked up to the Mess Hall. When we reached the Mess Hall, Annabeth turned around to introduce us.

"What are your names?" Annabeth asked politely. Alice answered.

"My names, Alice. This is Edward, Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie, my boyfriend Jasper. And thats Carlisle and his wife Esme." She said, pointing to each of them in turn.

"My names Annabeth, daughter of Athena."

"My names Percy, son of Poseidon."

"My names Nico, son of Hades." Everyone looked astonished as Nico said that.

"Oh, you poor boy," said Esme. "Having to spend days in the underworld all by yourself." She looked so sorry for Nico it bordered hilarious.

"I'm not really alone." Nico said, looking uncomfortable with all the compassion. "Ara's usually with me." I glared at Nico, angered that he brought me into this. All the Cullen's heads swiveled toward me, waiting for me to introduce myself. I cleared my throat.

"My name is Arabella, but you can call me Ara." I mumbled, hoping they wouldn't question my intro.

"But who's your godly parent?" Asked Edward, his voice full of mocking. Oh, I'll show him! I'm not some weakling who gets bossed around!

"Thanatos," I whispered. I grinned evilly as all the Cullens took a step back.

"Your father is the god of death!" Said Rosalie.
"Yes, and it would do you good to stay out of my way. I know someone who has quite some loathing for you, Edward." I sneered. Edward's face was one of pure innocence. As if!
"Who?" He asked.

"Have you really forgotten. It was only, oh I don't know, yesterday. Remember, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." I said, wagging my finger as if scolding him. He took a step back.

"B-B-Bella?" He asked. I nodded, before manipulating the mist to make me look like the Bella they knew. All the Cullens gasped. Before exploding with questions.

"Why didn't you ever tell us?" Asked Alice in a whining tone.

"Like I have to answer to you, after you left me without a word!" I yelled. She flinched, and Jasper quickly shot around, shielding her from me.

"Don't talk to her like that!" He snarled. I grinned evilly and you could see his repressed shudders.

"I would be careful Jasper. Wouldn't want to end up in the fields of punishment do we?" I asked. Jasper looked at me curiously, confused as to what I meant.

"For those seeking Elysium or did particularly wicked deeds in their life, they have to stand in front of a panel of judges. These judges decide your fate, whether to the fields of asphodel, the fields of punishment, or Elysium. Ara is the newest addition to that panel." Annabeth filled in. Before they could react, the rest of the campers filed in.

"See you later." I said creepishly, before walking into the woods, leaving them murmuring quietly behind me.

***(Time Skip, in which Ara explained all about the Cullens)

I was deep in the forest. I had a cabin there. It was made of smooth volcanic rock with obsidian windows. The door was made of wood, old, creaky, and was painted black but was now extremely chipped in places. Inside, everything was made shadows for easy furnishing and movement. Meaning, if I wanted a couch instead of a beanbag chair, I could just change the shape of the shadows. As a daughter of thanatos I can create solid shadows. Usually I used this power to create monsters to attack or defend me. But it was useful in other ways to. I leaped out of my bed, and walked outside into the fresh dusk air. The sounds of crickets chirping and cicadas buzzing filled the air with a constant drone. I would love to stay, but tonight was Monday, which meant arena tournaments and I planned on participating. Each arena held a tournament, one after another. Everyone vied for the top three spots because they meant little to no chores for that person. I of course, at the moment, held the top spots in all the arenas so I had no chores whatsoever.

"Ara! You ready!" Called Percy. Meeting me in front of the arena gates. "Tonight, I will finally beat you!" He bluffed. I snorted.

"Yeah right, Seaweed Brain. Annabeth could beat you in the Arena." I taunted.

"Hey!" Said Annabeth, acting offended. "Just because I don't have any special powers doesn't mean I'm bad at fighting." She huffed. I chuckled.

"Just joking, Annabeth." I said. Still chuckling softly over her theatrics we I scurry over to find seats before the tournament starts. We met up with Nico, and Clarisse. Finding seats near the front, which just happen to be next to the Cullens. We all glared at them, and they glared right back, but seemed a little intimidated by me, Nico, and Percy's powerful aura. Finally Rosalie broke.

"What is your problem!" She shouted, catching our attention.
"Hmm, let me think about it." I said, then promptly ignored her, while everyone else followed my lead.

"You know what!" Rosalie sneered. "I challenge you to an Arena battle and I am going to kick your pompous ass!" I smirked.

"Sure, but you're going to be sorry." I remarked, before marching over to Chiron. I whispered to him about Rosalie's challenge and he looked astounded that anyone would voluntarily challenge me. But regardless, he blew the conch horn. You see, when a camper is challenged, usually they would come here and whoever heard about it could come and see it. But if someone challenges one of the big three, or me, they would fight us in front of everyone challenge night.

"Ahem," Chiron said to the crowd. "We have a challenger. Ms. Rosalie, if you would come up here please." Rosalie slowly approached the stage with a smug smile on her face. The rest of the crowd either looked sympathetic or shocked. Usually the only people who challenged me was Nico, Percy, Clarisse, or they lost a bet and were forced to. These fights were either really quick or really entertaining. Depending on the challenger. With Rosalie's vampire strength and speed, everyone was looking forward to this match.

"Ms. Rosalie, here, had decided to challenge Ms. Arabella Mors. May the challengers approach the battlefield." Because Rosalie didn't know the rules, I headed for the flat field while she followed. "Because of 's obvious physical advantages," Chiron spoke, "All magic is allowed, as well as magical advantages. Let the battle begin." Nico threw me my scythe and cloak. While Emmett threw Rosalie a standard celestial bronze sword. My scythe was made of the stygian iron and had the same pain-inducing enchantment that my sword had. My cloak acted as diamond armor and allowed me teleport short distances. I readied my scythe and quickly draped my cloak over my head, shielding my entire body.

"This is an all's fair match between Rosalie Cullen and the Grim Reaper. Vampire and daughter of Thanatos." Announced Chiron. "Let the battle commence." I grinned at the nickname, Grim Reaper. People had settled on calling me that due to my lineage and the fact that when I battled I looked exactly like the grim reaper. We circled each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.

"Hah, you're just a pathetic, ugly, brat who is too conceited to realize when she's not liked." I taunted. She lunged, claws aimed at my throat. I quickly teleported and appeared behind her, slashing at her with my scythe. A large gash, reaching from her shoulders to her lower back. She screeched in pain before whirling around, even more enraged than before.

"Whats the matter?" I asked in an innocent voice. "Too slow to even scratch me, that is just sad." I said, shaking my head in mock disappointment. Rosalie seemed to get even angrier, if that was even possible. Running at me at vampire speed, she quickly sliced a long line from my hairline to my chin. Rosalie grinned in triumph before looking at me shocked, as I shapeshifted before her.

"Tut, tut. Don't you know. Any monsters that attack me, and you are definitely a monster, are quickly faced with an adversary equal to their own strength and size." I recited, as my body stretched and grew. Soon, I was the same height as Rosalie, and had a pair of ruby-red eyes. Bearing my now pristine white teeth, I lunged at her scythe reared. Before the audience could comprehend what had happened, I had Rosalie pinned, with my scythe at her throat.

"I am not pompous," I whispered in her ear, voice laced with venom. "I am proud, something you never were." Instead of chopping off her head, which I itched to do. I shadow traveled back to my seat in the stands, only to be greeted by the deafening roar of the crowd.

"Bella, how could you!?" Screeched Edward, while Emmett rushed to help his fallen mate.

"My names not Bella," I retorted, scathingly. "And if you call me that again, your soul is mine."

"The Bella I knew never would have done this." Murmured Alice, sadly shaking her head.

"And that goes for you to, Pixie." I said, "The Bella you knew was a weak, shy, clumsy, helpless girl. That was never me. That was me, with a completely different identity. My powers suppressed and spells put on me to make me at least have some semblance of normality. This is me, and don't forget Edward, you were the one who cheated on me with that blond idiot, Tanya." The venom in my voice quickly put in an end to our dispute.
