"To answer your questions in order I'll have to explain some stuff first. Why don't I do that at home?" I asked. When we got home I walked into the family room and sat down on the couch. Edward sat on one side of me and Alice on the other while Jasper sat on the couch arm. Everyone took their seats and looked at me with questioning eyes. I took another deep breath.
"Have you all heard of Greek mythology?" I asked. I couldn't believe I was doing this. I was putting them in more danger than they ever had been in before.
"You mean like the stories of Hercules and the Greek gods?" Carlile asked.
"Yes." I answered. "You know how they came down to Earth to..." I trailed off not wanting to say this in front of my daughter.
"Yes." They all answered knowing what I was getting to an knowing why I had trailed off.
"Their offspring are called demigods right?" Carlile asked. Everyone was getting impatient, I could tell.
"Yes. Demigods. Half human. Half god," I answered. Here comes the tricky part. "Well, Greek mythology is very much real. The gods are real and... demigods are real," I answered in a whisper that I knew everyone would be able to hear.
"Yeah, and I'm a dancing leprechaun!" Emmett shouted.
"It's true!" I yelled back. I was starting to get really mad and I tried really hard to control myself.
"How do you know, Bella?" Carlile asked me. I took a deep breath.
"Because... because I'm a demigod." I said super fast. I knew they heard me.
"A what?" Alice asked completely surprised.
"A demigod. I'm a daughter of Poseidon. The thing you saw earlier was an Iris message. It's where you can talk to someone face to face wherever they are. Who I was talking to was a boy named Percy, and something is wrong. They think there will be another Titan War," I said answering all of the earlier questions.
"Titan War?" Emmett asked. He looked more excited than worried.
"Yes. Titan War. It happened about a year or two ago. Kronos rose back up and tried to destroy Olympus and take over the world. They think that there will be another Titan War. That's why I have to leave," I explained as I stood up. I felt Edward stand up next to me. I was worried because he had been quiet the entire time.
"Why? Why should I let you go out to a war where you could be killed?" Edward asked grabbing my arm.
"Edward. Let go," I said. He let go of my arm. I took a deep breath. I was doing that a lot wasn't I? "I need to go. Percy needs me," I gave Renesmee to Edward. "And I have to go alone," I said my eyes getting watery.
"No," Edward and Alice said at the same time. I smiled a watery smile.
"I knew you would say that," I said. I walked into the kitchen with everyone following me. I heard Renesmee whispering to Edward and turned around. She held her arms out to me and I took her in my arms. I turned back around to the kitchen sink and made a rainbow with the hose. I took out a golden drachma.
"Isis, goddess of rainbows except my offering. Nico, Camp Half-Blood," I said quietly. Suddenly I saw Nico in his cabin reading a book.
"Hey, Nico," I said smiling as he look up from his book with a look of surprise until he saw who he was talking to.
"Oh. Hey Izzy," Nico said putting his book down. "Why'd you Iris message me?" he asked.
"I need a ride to camp." I said ignoring the protests behind me.
