Chapter 2: The Other Kind

Atlanta's POV

I sat on the edge of the cliff in my shorts and shirt, just thinking about the last time I sat here a few hours ago. The bon fire was at 7, it was 6:30. I knew that there was no way I could tell them who I really was, not yet at least. I would wait here until Kim came up to get me.

All of a sudden I had the urge to go down to the beach, so I looked up from the ocean. There he was, standing tall and proud in all his gorgeous glory. I met his eyes I wanted nothing more than to run down and into his arms, but I couldn't. I wouldn't. Being a half-blood I have a very strong will, and that meant I could steel myself against pretty much anything. So I waited. In about 10 minutes Kim came up and sat next to me.

"We're all waiting for you so that we can start the legends."

"Kim," I sent her a pleading look, "please don't make me tell you guys my story. You think that being a shape shifter is bad, you have no idea. My story is ten times worse."

"Hey, relax. No one is going to make you talk. Well, Sam might try, but everyone will tell him to chill. And if he try's the whole I'm-the-alpha thing, just ignore him. Please come down." She softened her voice drastically for the last sentence. Damn, the girl really knows how to play people.

"Fine. But I never said I was going to like it."

"Trust me, you will." She leaned in to whisper into my ear. "You get to sit beside Paul."

That sent shivers down my spine. The good kind. The kind you shouldn't have until you know the guy and he is officially your boyfriend. Crap.

I took a deep breath to calm my speeding heart. "K, just let me grab something."

I ran into my house and grabbed to bracelets and threw them onto my left wrist. One brown, one beige. Both would transform into swords when you pushed the streak of colour. I hated fighting with a shield. Even during training at camp, I refused to fight with anything other than my bow or twin swords. Seeing as my bow was in the truck and it would be really stupid to bring, considering everyone except the imprints would see it because of the mist, I stuck with my twin swords. I also changed from my flip flops to my black converse because they were made especially to hold a dagger on the outside, but no one could notice it. Nothing wrong with being cautious.

"K, Kim, let's go." I braced myself. I was going to have to stay far away from him.

However, my statement proved impossible when we got to the fire. Of course, the only seat left was beside Paul, unless I wanted to stand behind all the unusually tall wolf boys.

"Hey. I'm Paul." He extended his hand for me to shake. I took it.

"Atlanta." I couldn't mistake the feeling that shot up my arm as our hands touched.

"OK, we're just waiting on Jake and Nessie." All of a sudden the two came into view and I jumped to my feet, my hands ready on my bracelets. It hissed.

"Well, well, well. I didn't think your kind was allowed this far away from camp."

"Yeah, funny story. Guess how it ends? Your kind dead." I glared furiously and she glared back. As soon as I said those words, Jacob had her behind him and he was crouched low in front of her, his teeth bared while he was growling. Then, all of a sudden, Paul was there, in front of me, doing the same thing, but he was shaking slightly. I knew if I didn't calm him down he would phase and that's the last thing I wanted.

"OK, how about we call a truce? Before Paul tears out Jacob's throat." I smirked at my last sentence and she hissed just a bit more. I knew she couldn't dodge my logic.

"Fine. But don't forget, half-blood, my origins are indestructible." Well, that was just too much. Screw the truce she was dead. I leaped over both wolves and pressed my blades, one to her throat, one to her heart and stated calmly, "Call me that again, say that again, and I will remind you that you are not the original."

She looked just a little bit scared, but was trying not to show it. I could tell behind me Paul and Jacob were trying not to phase while the boys were holding them back . . . or were attempting to hold Paul back at least . . . it was working . . . for the most part anyways.

"Fine. But never forget who you are and always remember you won't fit into this world." She had just the slightest smirk on her face. I put my swords back to their normal form.

"On the contrary, dear leech, I fit in perfectly. Good magic with good magic. You on the other hand, well, I think you're on the wrong side." I had my legendary smirk on my face and she had no reply. She was about to lunge at me when my dad and Zeus decided to pop in. I swear they have like a tracker or something on me.

"Now, now, Atlanta. You should know better. Chiron told you what was going on here." Where did my dad get off telling me this?

I turned to him. "Doesn't mean I have to like it. Besides," I glanced back to Nessie, "she's still standing."

"Cut it awfully close, though. I never did want you to leave camp. You're just the kind of child that would cause this mess." Unlike my dad, Zeus was big on formalities and I'm pretty sure he hated me now, so I made sure to bow low before I spoke.

"My lord, that treaty was made between the wolves and the . . . vampires," I choked the word out, "Not between them and Gods."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second here. I believe you owe us an explanation," Jared said. Zeus grinned evilly.

"Yes, Atlanta, I do believe an explanation is in order. Good luck. And you are quite right. However if you want to live here, being a magic being, you should think about following the rules of that treaty." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, refraining from saying anything while he disappeared. When I opened my eyes my dad was still there.

"Please tell me he's wrong," I begged. I didn't want to follow this treaty . . . especially if it meant I couldn't mess with the vamps. He knew exactly what I was getting at . . . and he laughed at me.

"My daughter, I am sure as long as they are unharmed you will be fine." I smirked at that. Let the games begin. He patted my head affectionately. "But do try to be more careful what you say. It's hard enough to keep him in check, but when all of them get going it's nearly impossible."

"Right. Sorry, Dad." Then he was gone.

I turned and found all of them looking at me, their expressions ranging from confusion to shock. Nessie, of course, was just glaring at me outright.

"If you try anything on my family—"

"Oh, don't get your panties in a bunch. I'm not going to do anything. I think the first thing in order, is to get you guys to tell me about this treaty."

"No. I think the first thing in order is for you to tell us about yourself." Sam tried to get me to tell using his alpha voice. Man, I could already tell this guy was a prick.

"Nope, I like my suggestion better." I could see Kim trying not to smile out of the corner of my eye. The pack looked incredulous. Ha ha, suckers. No magic being was supposed to be able to withstand an alpha command. Good thing I out ranked them.

"Well, basically, the Cullen's, Nessie's family, are all 'vegetarian' vampires, meaning they don't drink human blood. They don't bite or kill a human and they stay off our land. In return we don't kill them. That's pretty much it." Well, that was pretty simple. That also left a lot of doors open. They're doomed.

"Awesome," I said, grinning wickedly.

Nessie was still glaring at me. I have to say I was impressed with how long she could keep it up. "No, not awesome. That means you can get the hell out of this town, you freaking half-blood." K, no. I warned her, but now she just wanted to start a war. I slowly stood up from the tree I had been sitting on. She stood up across the fire from me. All of a sudden she was right in front of me. I didn't even flinch. I was also several inches taller than her standing at a lovely 5' 10" which made her attempt to intimidate me even worse.

"Back the hell up, leech, before I make sure your god damned kind stays and rots in Tartarus forever." That made her back off. So she knew a little about her origins at least. How much did she know about the gods? I decided not to stay and find out, because that would just lead to questions about me.

"Well, as much fun as this has been, I'm off to bed." Everyone was too shocked at the leech stepping down that they didn't make any protests.

I got back to my house and flopped down on my bed. Well, shit, Atlanta. Really screwed up this time eh?

A dreamless sleep found me and I was glad for it. That rarely happens at camp, and at camp your dreams always mean something. And it's never something good.

I found the quietness so much better than the constant noise of New York. It was nice not to have to worry about any monsters creeping up on me in the night.

And with that thought in mind, I woke up the next morning at 11:30 and had a nice lunch before pulling out my laptop and doing nothing all day. It was awesome. That night, before I went to bed, I sent an Iris message to my brother at camp.

"Oh, goddess, except my offering. Camp Half-Blood, please."

Percy answered right away.

"I got a quest!" He had a huge smile on his face.

"Excuse me?" I asked, not at all thrilled with the idea of my baby brother going on a quest.

"Yeah, I'm so excited. Me, Grover and Annabeth get to go!"

"And where exactly is this quest?"

"Kind of all over. . ." He sentence trailed off. He knew more than he was telling me.

"Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon, if you do not tell me about this quest, Gods help me I will reach thorough this Iris message and strangle you!"

He gulped. "Well, we're going to the Underworld, but it's not that dangerous, you see we're going to get a kid who's trapped down there—"

"Stop!" I raised my hand. "I don't want to know anymore, but please, please, PLEASE, be careful. You don't know how dangerous the Underworld can be. I have been there more than once and it's not pretty."

"I will, sis, now stop worrying!"

"It's my job. Be careful and call me when you get back!" Then the message faded.

Shit. My dad better watch over that kid with all he's got. And he's got a lot considering he's a God.

A/N: So Percy is on a quest! And we got a little drama going on with Atlanta and Nessie :D Anyway hope you liked and please review!
