Hi guys, I'm glad you guys liked the first chapter. The next chapters are still a little fuzzy in my mind but I'm working on them. Hope you guys this new chapter.
I don't own the twilight saga or the Percy Jackson series.
Once I entered, my necklace, the source of my seal, was lifted from my neck and burst into dust.
"Well there goes that," I muttered.
"Bella!" Was all I heard before I was tackled into a hug by a blur of blonde hair.
"Oomph!" I took me a second to recover but once I did I hugged her back and laughed. Gods, I missed my best friend. "Annabeth! Gods, I missed you so much!" I started jumping around with her in circles and we laughed our heads off.
"We have so much to do and so much to catch up on!" She told me.
"Ok, Stop hogging Bella, Annabeth." Said an amused deep voice behind her; I looked and saw Nico and Grover.
"Grover! Nico!" I said breaking into a smile "How's my favorite little cousin and satyr?" I ruffled their hair a bit.
Nico glared at me, "I'm only a year younger than you."
"Exactly," with that I opened my arms wide and beckoned him to give me a hug when he refused to hive me one after Grover did, "Come on, bring it in."
He let out an exaggerated sigh and smiled "Fineeeee."
"Not that I don't love the idea of you being back Bells but I'm curious to why. I thought you wanted to finish school as a mortal?" Grover asked. My smile faltered, Percy noticed this.
"Let's let her explain after talking to Chiron." I gave Percy a grateful smile and we proceeded to go find Chiron. As we walked across camp I took in everything in sight. Occasionally I would be greeted by new and old faces. Things hadn't change to much and I laughed when we ducted when the Apollo kids were doing archery. Some things never change. It didn't take us long before we got to the big house and found Chiron. "Bella, welcome back." He told me with a warm smile. I went up and hugged him.
"It's good to be back, Chiron."
"Now let me remind you that the seal has been permanently broken."
"Yes, I understand."
"Since you haven't been here for a while, here is your schedule," he said while giving me the piece of paper, "lessons will start tomorrow."
I smiled and nodded. The sooner I got my self distracted, the better.
"Is there something wrong Bella?"
My head snapped up, how could he tell? I wanted to lie to him but that isn't my best forte.
I hesitated, "Yes, but that is something that I would not like to talk about in the current moment." Not when anyone could listen in and witness me break down.
"Does it have anything to do with why you returned?" I nodded. He looked at me with concerned eyes but respected my wish on not wanting to discuss it. "Alright but know that you can tell me anything."
I gave him a small smile and hugged him. "Thanks."
We walked back to Poseidon's Cabin so that I could get settled in. I dreaded the moment because I knew that I would have to tell Percy my reason for coming back. It was inevitable.
Once we reached the cabin, I began to put everything in its place- trying to stall. However, Percy wasn't having that and they all decided to help me. It wasn't long before I was sitting in my bed staring at floor while they stared at me, waiting for my explanation.
"Come on, Bells. It's killing us to know why you were crying when you called me and the desperation in your voice." He came to sit next to me and tucked me under his arm. "You know you can tell me anything. Please Bells."
I slowly look up at his eyes and sighed sadly but nodded to his request. "Ok, but before I do, you all have to promise me to listen to everything I have to say," knowing that they would freak out when I mentioned that the Cullen's were vampires and that they left me. I looked them all in the eye and waited until they all agreed. I took a deep breath and began to tell my sorrowful tale.
"When I went to Forks, I was excited that I could finally be normal and not have to worry about being kicked out again. Everything was going fine, until I met him." I took a deep breath, trying to stop the pain that spread throughout my being. "I met Ed…Edward Cullen. At first I noticed something was off about him. It was obvious that he was not human. For a while I thought that he might be a demigod too, along with his family, but then I dismissed the theory because it simply didn't fit. I began to observe him and his family and involuntarily I began to fall in love with him. It took a while for us to become friends and eventually I had a new theory of what he could be. I didn't confirm my theory until he saved me from a group of guys who wanted to rape me. Edward saved me before anything could happen and on that same night I found out that he was indeed a Vampire." I heard everyone gasp, but I was too consumed in my memories, "He told me however that he and his family were vegetarians- meaning that they only drank animal blood. He also told me that he could read minds but I was the only exception. It turns out that only some vampires are granted powers. Anyways, time passed and we confessed to each other and we were happy, for a while anyways. You see a group of nomads came to us when I went to watch them play baseball and one of them, James, wanted to kill me. Long story short, Edward and his family saved me. After that I thought that maybe we could be happy again. For a while we were happy. Then my birthday came." I let out a shaky laugh "Alice wanted to through me a party and I reluctantly agreed. At the party however I got a paper cut and began to bleed. Suddenly everything was a blur and all I could see was Jasper being restrained from pouncing on me. Now before you all freak out, like I know you all do. Jasper has the power to feel the emotions of others and project feelings. All the blood lust that was generated throughout the room was accumulated onto him. He couldn't fight it and I don't blame him for anything. However, from then on, Edward began to act strange and one day he asked me to go for a walk with him. That's- That's were it all fell apart." I vaguely realized that I was silently crying. My voice was shaking like crazy. "He- he told me that he didn't want me because never loved me and that he shouldn't have let the relationship carry on as long as it did. He said that he would be moving; along with his family and that we would never see each other again. They never cared for me and wanted me out of their lives. I had caused Jasper too much pain that day of the party and that it was for the best. Then he left me in the woods. He left me." I broke down in Percy's arms, struggling to gain control of myself.
I felt another pair of arms surround me. "Not now guys," said the owner. Guessing by the voice, it was Annabeth scolding the guys and preventing them from doing something stupid. However, at the moment I could really care less.
Eventually I fell asleep because when I opened my eyes, it was dark out and I was on my bed covered by a blanket. I looked at the clock and it was 7 pm, I could still make it to dinner. Should I go to dinner? I didn't really feel like it but… I came here to escape the past. A part of me still wants to remain in my dreams of him but in Forks all I did was worry Charlie and make everyone sad. I don't want to do that to Percy.
I got out of bed and made my self presentable. It was time to suck up the pain and keep living. I was being pathetic. I'm Bella Jackson for crying out loud! The sister of the hero of Olympus, daughter of the sea god and a bad ass fighter! I was a fighter, a warrior if I say so myself, and warriors don't cry. I put on a smile and made my way to the dinning pavilion.
I entered the pavilion and went to sit across from Percy. He gave me a concerned look though I could see that he was still a little pissed off. I gave him a smile, trying to assure him that I was ok.
"Bells-"
"It's ok Perce. I'm ok." he gave me pointed look that said he didn't believe it. "Ok, so maybe I'm not that great at the moment but I will be. I promise."
He sighed sadly and looked down, "I know you will be. You are one heck of a fighter but what really pissed the hell out of me is what they did to you, especially what he did to you. You don't deserve this, Bells. I'm sorry I failed you Bells-"
"Failed me? Percy you didn't fail me."
"But-"
"No! Look at me Percy," he reluctantly did, "you didn't know what was going to happen to me. You wanted what was best for me and let me have a normal life for once. You made my wish come true. You are the best brother I could ever ask for. You had nothing to do with what happened to me and you will never be at fault. Do you understand?" He nodded and gave me a small smile after taking in everything I told him.
"I would hug you but I don't want to get up," I told him. He laughed at me.
"Same here." His eyes then softened even more, "We will get through this together, just like odd times."
So many memories flooded my mind of our childhood. We were always protecting one another and fighting side by side. "together." I said, sticking out my pinking.
"Together." he did the same thing I did and we pinky promised. Just like old times.
Please Review :)
