Chapter 3 - Athena and Ares

ApPOV

Having Isabella with me now is surreal. I saw her staring at me, "what is it child?" I asked her.

"You are truly beautiful mother" she told me.

"Daughter of mine you will see you are as beautiful as I. You will see when you part take in the immortal drink" I told her.

She smiled nodding "I guess I will." Once we reached the shore line Damon and my smiled grew, Bella just looked at us.

"You too look like kids at Christmas" she told us, we laughed.

"Bella my child you will soon understand the call of the Sea" I paused "Poseidon my love I believe it is time for her to Join the Gods." he nodded in agreement.

"Daughter are you ready to Join us?" he asked her. "Yes" was all she said, With that we took her to Olympia. "Welcome to Olympia Daughter" he told her. Her smiled grew as she took in her surroundings. "it is beautiful" she whispered. She truly seemed happy.

This was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. "Are you ready" my mother asked me, I nodded. "Well let us begin" she walked to the center of the room "I Aphrodite Goddess of Love and Beauty, Queen of the Sea" she spoke and my father joined her "And I Poseidon God of the Sea as well as its King" he said, then the spoke together "Are here to bring forth a new God, a daughter of Love and the Sea, with the blood of the living we sustain immortality" they eyes burned with a fire, "come forth Daughter of Love and the Sea and take part in the immortal Drink" the told me.

I walked forward and took the cup in my hands and watched as my mother and father cut their wrists with a jewel incrusted dagger spilling and mixing their blood in the cup, once done they said "Drink" and I did as they told me.

As the blood when down my throat I began to feel the change. I was not the weak human any longer, I was unstoppable, I was a Goddess.

ApPOV

I could see her changing, she was being a Goddess. She was beauty before but now, none could compare. I was temporarily distracted though, I could feel the pull of the Sea as well as the pull to help Athena and Ares.

I looked up to Poseidon, "We need to go to them. They need us" I told him, he nodded and turned to Bella. "Are you ready to take to the Sea?" he asked her, she nodded and we dove into the dark blue depths of the sea.

Bella, follow us, I thought. She blinked, we can hear each others thoughts?, she thought. Only when in the Sea is it this simple, we will teach all you need to know, I thought.

She followed us as we swam to England. They where there on the beach as if waiting for us. "Athena? Ares?" I called, they looked at me and smiled, "Aphrodite, Poseidon it has been too long" replied Ares, he looked to Athena.

"Yes it has" she looked to Bella "Who is this?" she asked. Poseidon took it upon himself to answer, "This is Isabella Daughter of Love and Sea, she my and Aphrodite's child." They stared at us blankly, "How did you find her? They said you would never find her!" Athena yelled her voice burning with anger.

That was when something clicked inside me, she was suppose to have been taken before I returned. How would she know of my daughter? "Athena, with the power of the Gods I command you to tell me what truly happened to you before the fall!" I demanded.

Her faced changed as well as Ares, he knew what was coming. "Poseidon my love, trap him" I commanded.

He did I as I said, then we all turned our gaze to Athena. "Now speak" I demanded, and she did.

"Before the Fall Hades came to me, trying to sell me on a great war, he knew my weakness. He told me of the demons he had kept and used in the underworld. He sent word that Ares and myself have been taken by demons that we had failed to find. Starting it all. The fates had told him a child of two Gods would be born, a daughter of Love and Sea, she would change the way of the Gods. Hades was enraged. He convinced us of the danger of her becoming a God, so we helped him get her. We where to kill her, but I could not. I left her with the witches of Ireland who promised no God would ever find her" she confessed it all. I felt the rage radiating from Poseidon, myself , and Isabella. She had double crossed us.

"How dare you! How dare you send for my mother and Father to help you now! When you are the reason I was taken!!" Bella screamed, Athena stared at her blankly I couldn't see why, that was until I looked to my daughter.

Isabella held all the fury of a Ocean storm in her eyes, her hair was on fire, she was feeding off our anger fueling her own. "It was not my place to defy Hades, he is one of the great three. His point was valid, You are an unknown. We did not, nor do we now know what you are capable of. You could be the death of us all." Athena said before launching herself at Bella, biting her neck and tasting her blood. In the next moment I was surrounded by the Sea once again, with my love and my child. What are we to do my love, I thought as I looked at him. He held our daughter in his arms, she was badly hurt. We go to the Vampires, they love her as we do. We have no where else to go, Athena will be expecting us to be at Olympia, he thought. I nodded and followed him.

We swam all the way back to Washington. The trip to Forks seemed to take a lifetime, we could not teleport with Bella in her condition. I could sense them before I smelt them, vampires.

"You have returned" she said, then her eyes landed on Bella "What has happened to her!" The one they call Alice screamed.

"Relax child she will be fine just only needs rest, and to feed. We will explain when we return to your home" I told her.

I handed her to Poseidon, "run with her you are faster than I, I will Teleport head and inform them of her condition" I told him as I kissed his cheek and then disappeared. I was in the middle of their living area when I materialized and they all where their waiting, I looked to Alice and she nodded, so she had saw I would come first.

"As you are sure to already know, Isabella has been harmed. She was attacked by Athena Warrior Goddess Of Wisdom, she bit her and took her blood" I told them.

"Why would she take her blood?" asked the one named Emmett. "Athena is mortal now just as Poseidon once was, to regain the immortality they once had they must take part in the immortal drink, which is the blood of a immortal. That is how Vampire became immortal, they drank the blood of God" I explained.

"So now Athena is immortal?" asked Edward.

"It truly is a shame that our ways have been lost. No she is not complete, to complete the change she will need to feed from the living in everyway" I answered.

He looked at me confused but it was Alice who spoke "What do you mean in everyway?" she asked.

This was the part I was not wanting to explain. I sighed, "She will need to feed on the blood of a human in a very intimate way. You see she is the my daughter and I am the Goddess of Love. She has already bathed in the Sea, so that part of her is complete but until the other is she will be vulnerable" I explained. Edward's face was completely unreadable what was until Emmett opened his mouth.

"So what you are saying is that Bella has to have sex with someone while taking their blood? Cool" he said.

Edward growled, "No, she will never do it."

"She will have to" I stated. I wondered if She fed from Edward if it would count?, Alice thought while looking at me.

"You may have something there Alice, I had not considered that" I said, she smiled. "I tend to be right" she stated smugly. "Of course you know what that would mean" I told her.

Then she saw it in her head, for it to work Edward would have to fed on a Human. She gasped, "He can't. It took so long to stop the last time." Edward was staring at us, she must be blocking him. I smiled at him opening my mind to him, allowing to see what I had seen. His face went from surprise, shock, thirst, and then contentment.

His eyes locked with mine as Poseidon walked in with Isabella, "I will do what ever it takes to make her safe" he stated. "Edward, it will not make her safe, only immortal" I told him.

"From what I saw in your mind, and now in Alice's she will be safe. Your kind are more like us than you are willing to admit" he said with a smirk.

"That is true, but that is a story for another time. Let us tend to Isabella" I told him taking his arm and leading him to the woods.

"I will take you hunting, I will keep you safe from yourself" I told him, he nodded.
