Fan Fic Chapter 6
AN: So I had a couple reviews giving me some constructive feedback and I just wanted to thank those who did so. I'm still learning on the fly here as this is my first attempt so I really do appreciate it. Concerning the sex scenes, the last chapter was definitely the heaviest for them and they won't be coming up as much in the remainder of the story. Most chapters probably won't have any but the ones that do I won't go as in depth with it, I just thought the last chapter was the right time for it if they were going to happen at all. Also I have planned a rematch for Percy and Emmet. The first time I felt Emmet's overconfidence against an opponent like Percy, who has dealt with stronger beings than vampires on a regular basis, would cost him but he won't be as careless in the next fight
When Percy and Bella woke up they realised that both Edward and Alice had left, probably to fill the rest of the family in about Alice's vision. Today was Friday so they still had to attend school but when they were done for the day they would have plenty of time to figure out what to do about the invading vampire army as Alice had assured them it wasn't today at least. "Morning Bella" Percy said to her as she walked into the kitchen for breakfast. Percy had already gone for his run and was currently eating a granola bar. "Morning" Bella answered and they sat in silence for a while thinking of what was to come. Edward had filled Bella in last night after hearing Alice's vision so she already knew as well. "Damn I wish I could just skip classes today, there is no way I'll be able to pay attention to anything anyway even if I didn't have ADHD I'm just too distracted." Percy said after a while. Bella just nodded silently but had to agree with him. She didn't want to go any more than he did but in a town this small Charlie would hear about it in no time so if they didn't want to raise suspicion they didn't really have a choice. Bella didn't even need to remind Percy of this, he was well aware of it just very unhappy. "Well we should probably go before we are late" Percy said and walked over to the car to drive them to school.
Things seemed to be going in slow motion all day to Percy and the others as well as they waited for their lunch break so they could finally discuss things. Bella didn't even bother grabbing food before going to sit with the Cullens not wanting to waste time but also not really feeling like eating anything. The bigger shock was when Percy did the same and sat down without food. Of course the Cullens with their speed had already retrieved their food which would not be consumed by them so Percy still got a meal from Alice. "So Alice I think now would be a great time to retell your vision again so Percy and Bella can understand the situation." Edward said. "Well in the interest of time I won't go over everything just the important details. So the disappearances in Seattle were caused by vampires as we suspected but it was far worse than we ever could have imagined. I saw that they will arrive here tomorrow and that they will destroy us if we are still here. There were a total of fifty newborns and Victoria was the one leading them. We have no chance if we stay and fight we have to run." Alice was clearly upset by the time she finished her vision. "I agree we need to go it's not safe anymore and we must protect Bella and the other humans as well. If those vampires show up here they could decimate this town." Edward agreed. Emmet and Rosalie were not as agreeable. "I don't want to leave Forks, I say we try to come up with a plan to drive them away or get help to defeat them." Rosalie said and was backed up by Emmet "Hell ya we should fight, we are not cowards and us leaving won't protect anybody as the vampires could still come here and even if they don't they will feed elsewhere." "What do Carlisle and Esme think" Bella asked them. "Well Esme is worried for her family and knows we have no chance against them and wants to leave to protect us but Carlisle is worried about the damage the army could do and wants to try to stop them from killing anybody so he wants to stay. In short we are tied in our vote" Edward told her and Percy.
Percy spoke up then "Well I'm with Emmet and Carlisle I can't let them harm anyone, I should have gone and put a stop to this before it got so bad." "No Percy you can't" Alice almost begged him "We are far too greatly outnumbered. It's fifty one vampires versus six and a demigod." Percy took her hand in his trying to calm her down, but then he said "I'm sorry I don't have a choice I need to do this and I've faced worse odds although this sounds pretty bad" which had the opposite of a calming effect. Before she, or anyone else, could freak out too much Percy continued with a slight frown "What about the wolves, wouldn't they help us out? That would help our odds significantly right." "Well we aren't sure how many of them there are but we would still be too greatly outnumbered, you did hear Alice when she said fifty right?" Edward replied. "Yes I did but I'm not done, if we also picked the right battle ground preferably somewhere by a lot of water I could help turn the tide in our favor dramatically." Alice had calmed down enough by this point to rejoin the conversation "Well the best place would probably be in the field near our house there is a stream that runs by it". Percy shook his head at this though "I have a better idea, the beach on the reservation. It has much more water and its salt water which is even better for me. I could do some real damage down there." All four of the Cullens shook their heads at this but Emmet spoke up "I like the way you are thinking but we are not allowed onto the reservation. The treaty we have with the wolves doesn't allow us to go over there." "But if we are all partnering with the wolves wouldn't they allow it this one time if it gives us the best chance for survival?" Percy asked. "I think that might be pushing the limit of bonds that are not even forged yet, however it may be worth looking into" Edward said. "Does that mean you are changing your vote Edward?" Emmet asked him a little more excitedly than the circumstances called for. "No not yet but it won't hurt to exhaust every option so we can make the best decision. "Well then I'll go talk to them after school and try to strike a bargain with them" Percy said ending the discussion for now just as the bell went.
True to his word when the bell finally went Percy dashed towards his car to drive down to the reservation and Bella decided to join him. As they were driving down there Percy asked Bella "Hey are you alright you've been rather quite this whole time. What are you thinking about?" Bella took her time in responding before saying "I'm just scared by this whole thing." "Hey there is no need to be scared, we will take care of you maybe send you to visit my mom in New York or something just to make sure you are safe during the battle." Percy told her trying to make her feel better. "I'm not worried about myself; I'm worried that you guys are actually going to fight those vampires. I'm Worried about you, Edward, Alice, Jacob, and everyone else who might be getting involved and there is nothing I can do to help." Bella said frustrated by the situation. "Bella the ocean is my home court, if my plan works I'm sure that we can do this even if no one else does yet. We are going to be ok." "You can't know that Percy, not even Alice can see the outcome of this fight" Bella answered again still not feeling any better. "Well if things go according to plan I'll give a demonstration later tonight" Percy said as they arrived at the reservation. "I wonder if these guys are even around right now" Percy said out loud thinking about the pain it would be if he had to go and track them all down. Just then Sam and Jacob walked around the corner of Jacobs's house and started towards them.
Bella and Percy got out of the car just as Sam and Jacob reached them. "Hey guys" Bella said to them "Umm Percy and I have something we need to talk to you about." "What is it?" Sam asked curious by Bella's tone of voice. "Do you mind if we go inside this might take a while." Percy said to them and Jacob led the way. Once inside they seated themselves around the living room and Percy starting with a retelling of Alice's vision. Needless to say this did not sit well with the wolves "NO FUCKING WAY FIFTY OF THEM!" Percy couldn't tell which one of them had screamed at him but considering the volume he decided to assume both of them. "Please keep the volume down there is no need to panic… ok maybe a little but still calm down please we don't want you phasing at the moment." Percy said trying to contain their emotions before things got out of hand. I kind of wish Jasper was here right now he thought to himself thinking of Jaspers gift. "Calm down? And just how to you expect us to do that with an army facing us that we can't possibly defeat?" They asked/yelled at him. "Well actually we can defeat it, at least I believe we can, that's why I came here I need your help." He answered as calmly as he could hoping it would rub off on them a little. "I don't see how we can help you unless you just want to fill a bigger grave when you lose" they said definitely not calmly. "Well then maybe you should shut up and let him explain then!" Bella yelled at them going for more of a stunned silence than actual calmness. This did have the desired effect as they hadn't been expecting it from Bella and became mute gesturing for Percy to get on with it. "Thanks cow bells" Percy said to her before turning back to Sam and Jacob. "Well as you know I am a son of Poseidon so I have power over water and it can help revitalise me as well. This effect is increased with salt water so if we could lure the vampires to the beach it would make the perfect battle ground for me and I could help turn the tide of battle to our favour." Sam and Jacob thought back to the night the wolves had attacked him and he had summoned a personal hurricane which had been very impressive and that was fresh water. They still didn't see how he could plan on defeating an army that size though even with the wolves fighting at his side which of course they would. They knew that they had to fight to try to protect not only their tribe but Bella, who was Victoria's main target and the rest of forks as well. "Well we don't have much of a choice so we will fight beside you but we don't see how you can win even with our pack's support." Sam spoke up. "Well there is another thing I needed to talk to you about. The Cullens will fight beside us as well. I know about your treaty saying they can't come on your land, which is why they suggested a battle field near their house with a stream beside it, but the beach will work so much better and we need every advantage we can get so I was hoping you could modify the treaty." Jacob and Sam discussed it between themselves for a short while then Jacob answered "Well there are going to be fifty bloodsuckers here anyway so six more shouldn't be a problem especially if they are on our side. We are not happy about it though and this is just a onetime thing, got it? After the battle the treaty goes back to the way it is now and they can take it or leave it." "Agreed" Percy said wishing the truce could be more permanent but that was a problem for another time. "We will come back after dinner with the Cullens for a strategy and training session. That work with all of you?" "Yes" Sam replied simply and with that Percy and Bella took their leave. Once they were out of earshot Bella said to him "You do realise that the Cullens still haven't decided if they will stay to fight or try to run with us right?" Percy looked at her for a while as they got into the car and finally said "They will stay, I know it. Alice will change her mind and Edward might too besides they wouldn't run and leave you here and I can tell you don't want to go because it would put more people in danger. Plus after tonight I think peoples hopes might raise a bit." Bella was wondering what Percy was planning on doing tonight but said nothing as they drove away.
When Percy pulled up the house he started thinking of Charlie and figured they should come up with an excuse for their absence later tonight and tomorrow for the battle. He and Bella discussed it for a while and decided the best thing would be to tell him that they were going back to New York for the weekend to visit Sally as Bella hadn't seen her in so long and Percy would make up an excuse about forgetting some personal belongings to explain why he needed to go back after only one week. That thought made Percy realise just how much he had been through since arriving at forks. Has it really only been a week it feels like so much more than that he thought, but not in a bad way. He had enjoyed most of it, especially his time with Alice but it just felt like they had been together for longer and that with everything that had occurred it couldn't have fit into a week. "Alright how about you call the Cullens and tell them about the meet up at the reservation later and I will call my mom to set up our alibi in case Charlie decides to check our story." Percy asked Bella who agreed and so they both went to make calls.
"Hey mom it's me how are you?" Percy asked her as Sally answered the phone. "Oh Percy it's good to hear from you I'm doing very well how are you? Is Forks to your liking?" she answered happy to hear from him and also picking up on the fact that his voice seemed happier than before he left and thought that they had made the right choice. "Yes I love it here with all the moisture I feel so awake, and I have met some truly amazing people." Before his mom could ask him any further questions, which she had been about to do, he continued saying "Unfortunately though we have a bit of a problem here that I need to deal with but I also need to keep Charlie out of the loop. I'm going to tell him Bella and I will be visiting you for the weekend and although I don't think he will I was hoping you could verify this for me if he calls to check up on us." "Of course Percy whatever you need" she said but then frowned to herself unhappy with what she had just heard "But are you ok, what kind of trouble are you in and why is Bella with you? You haven't dragged her into danger of some kind have you?" Percy laughed at this "Well you probably won't believe me but she's actually the one dragging me into danger this time. I swear she has a danger magnet as strong as mine; it's kind of unbelievable actually. To answer your other questions we have a monster horde about to attack us but I think we will be fine we have some strong allies here and I've fought through worse. I do have to go though Charlie is pulling up and we all still need to prepare for tomorrow but I'll call you when it's over to let you know everything is ok." "Ok Percy but be careful I can't lose you" she said worried now but she also knew that if there was anyone who could handle whatever situation it was they were going through it was her son. "Will do mom, I love you, bye" Percy said as he hung up.
"Hey Edward Percy set up a meeting with the wolves for later as well as a temporary truce to use their land for the battle." Bella informed Edward. "Well that's good, I guess we are likely going to stay and fight but I still don't really like our odds. Alice has changed her mind now and wants to stay and support Percy since he is set on this course of action." Edward replied "We kind of thought that would happen and I guess Percy has something to show us that he thinks will increase our chances." Bella said. Edward had to admit that since it was Percy he could likely do something that could turn this battle for them "I wonder what his demonstration is then. I look forward to seeing it but I think Emmet is more looking forward to the training. He wants a rematch with Percy and it could be a good way to educate the wolves on what to expect from the vampires and Percy might have some tips. He is far more experienced with combat than any of us are after all." "That makes sense" Bella said "I guess we will see what happens when we get down there. Anyway Charlie is coming and we still have to lie to him to free ourselves for the weekend so I have to go but I'll see you soon." "Alright Bella see you there and a piece of advice let Percy do the talking you are a terrible liar."
When Charlie came in they all sat down at the table to eat the spaghetti Bella had made while she was on the phone. Percy finished before them so he started to explain to Charlie their fake plans for the weekend. "So Charlie we won't be around this weekend. Bella and I are taking a quick trip back to New York to visit with my mom and I just need to pick up a couple things that I forgot earlier." Charlie was a little surprised by this but he didn't have any problems with it as long as that's what they were actually doing. "Sure that's fine with me" he replied but decided to give Sally a call just to make sure that they weren't lying to go sneak off with Edward and Alice or something. It wasn't that he didn't trust them but the cop in him lived by the motto trust but verify which is what prompted the decision. "So when is your flight" he asked them. "In a couple of hours actually we should be leaving now to make it on time. We will be back Sunday night and there is no need to pick us up I will leave my car at the airport so we can drive back." Percy answered. "Alright well have a good trip and I'll see you later then" "See you Charlie" "Bye dad" Percy and Bella said respectively as they walked out and got into the car to drive down for tonight's training. When they were out of sight Charlie went to the phone to make the call to verify, which checked out settling his suspicions.
"I never thought I'd see this" Bella muttered mostly to herself as they pulled up to the reservation. The wolves and the Cullens were standing amongst each other discussing things in a civil manner which is what Bella was referring to. They heard the group discussing whether or not there would be any bystanders at the beach during the battle but Alice assured them that there wouldn't be, mostly because it would be too cold for most people to want to go out. Percy surveyed the group and saw that the wolf pack consisted of ten members plus the six Cullens and himself made seventeen fighters. "So what's the plan Percy?" Edward asked him as Bella and Percy joined the group. "Well I was thinking we line up on the beach with our backs to the water and let them come to us here where I can do the most good with my powers. We can protect Bella by keeping her behind us in a boat on the water while we fight." At this there were a few groans and much head shaking. "No good we vampires don't need air remember? They could simply send a few of them underwater to get to Bella and flank us." Edward told him and Alice joined in "I can't see the actual battle but I can see how they form themselves on the beach and if we do that only thirty of them will come at us head on which means twenty will be coming through the water." Percy grinned widely at this information and replied "Of course I haven't forgotten that Edward and that is awesome news Alice that's what I was counting on. That means we only have to deal with thirty which isn't quite a two to one ratio. That is much more manageable now." "Umm Percy I know you're a demigod of Poseidon and all but how do you figure twenty vampires traveling through the water is a good thing for us? How do you plan on eliminating that group immediately so they can't get to Bella or flank us?" Jacob asked him a little skeptical about this entire plan. "That is what my demonstration is about so if you will all trust me for a minute and please take a step into the water I will show you." Percy replied. Alice quickly stepped into the water first and was shortly followed by the rest of the Cullens and Bella. Seth also moved to do so but Sam motioned for him to stop and the rest of the wolves didn't move yet either. "If you are demonstrating how you plan on eliminating the vampires is this really safe for us to be a part of your demonstration." Sam asked him. "No it absolutely isn't I was planning on injuring all my friends and everyone who will be supporting me in this battle so that they can't do anything for tomorrow and are rendered useless." He answered with obvious sarcasm getting chuckles from Bella and the Cullens. Sam just narrowed his eyes not impressed but Percy then said "Yes it's perfectly safe and no harm will come to anyone so could you please trust me. I want to practice on the entire group as it is a similar size to the one I will need to do this on tomorrow." At this point Jacob led the way into the water and the wolves followed him in, including Sam after just a moment.
"Alright let's do this" Percy said mostly to himself and concentrated on his power, feeling the water bending to his will. He quickly allowed water to flow around each one of them and trust them all skyward allowing them to hover about ten feet up with the water suspending them in the air. He also removed the water from most of their limbs almost fashioning a harness out of it so that none of them had anything to push off of rendering them immobile. "Brilliant" Carlisle said out loud and Percy grinned. "Can any of you get out of that he asked them" Emmet laughed and said "Of course breaking free of water should be easy" and then tried to do so. Every time he went to pry the water from himself it simply reformed around his hands still holding him in the air. He tried to move just to get away from the water harness but considering he was in the air there was nothing he could push off of to move himself. "Why the hell can't I get out of this?" Emmet asked looking around. No one else seemed able to escape either. It was Carlisle who answered him "Well because water is in a liquid form we can't simply rip these harnesses away as it just reforms around us. If we were on the ground this wouldn't be a problem as we could just run through it but in the air we cannot push off of anything which means we are completely stuck. Even when you walk or run you can only move by pushing off of the ground or some other substance so this is much like being stuck in space just floating around. I must say this is a brilliant way to incapacitate your enemies Percy" "Thanks but I can't take all the credit Anabeth and I came up with it together. She was always the brains of the operation." Percy replied and this time didn't feel badly at all when he said Anabeth's name remembering back to when they had been together. "Are you sure you will be able to locate all of the vampires and neutralise them like this before they get to Bella" Edward asked him wanting to be sure of Bella's safety. "Yes I can but I will need a moment to finish them off before I can turn my full attention back to the rest of the battle where the majority of their army will be waiting for us. So we still need to make sure everyone is ready to fight tomorrow.
When Percy let everyone back down to the ground they could all feel a change in perception. They believed they could win now with Percy's help and focused on what Edward was saying to prepare them for the rest of the fight. "So newborns are extremely strong because of all the human blood left in them from their transformation so you can't try to match their strength as you will lose. They have a very simplistic approach though as they just attack head on and try to find an easy kill so if we fight smart we can beat them. Since Emmet is the strongest one here we believe training against him will be good practice. Hopefully Percy can give us some tips on fighting as well as you have more experience than any of us." Edward addressed the group as a whole but directed the last part to Percy. "I want a rematch as well" Emmet added on looking at Percy. "Absolutely, after this match we should try some two on ones to get used to being outnumbered." Percy replied then uncapped riptide and pulled a shield out of his car and readied himself for the rematch with Emmet. Percy didn't always use a shield because it could be more tiring and didn't give him as much mobility but he figured for a fight as big as the one tomorrow he would probably use it. Especially since they were fighting at the ocean which he could use to reenergise himself and give himself a boost so the drawbacks of having a shield were mitigated.
Emmet thought back to his fight against Percy which had gone so badly for him. He realised that his overconfidence had led to mistakes and after he was reminded of everything Percy had accomplished he also realised Percy was simply in a different league as far as fighting goes. It was with this last realisation that Emmet decided defeating Percy one on one would most likely be impossible, if even gods, titans and giants couldn't do it, but he wanted to have a better showing this time and redeem himself a little all the same. Percy and Emmet circled for a bit sizing the other up at first before both striking at the same time. Percy deflected Emmet's blow with his shield while Emmet side stepped Percy's sword. The fight went on for a little while like that neither one of them really leaving an opening and Percy only getting in a few glancing shots on the now cautious Emmet. Every time Emmet struck Percy would either block it with his shield or use riptide to deflect or counter attack depending on the circumstances. Percy's shield arm was getting slightly sore from the raw power behind Emmet's attacks but it was nothing he hadn't dealt with before and it wasn't enough to affect him. Emmet dodged another slash from riptide and thinking he saw an opening in Percy's defense went to strike him. Percy had been baiting him though and did a quick sidestep while swinging his shield around, not to stop Emmet's attack but just to redirect it enough that he would miss. Percy used Emmet's momentum to his advantage as after deflecting the blow Emmet was now out of position to dodge Percy's next attack which came in the form of a slash to the upper abdomen ending the fight. "Not bad Emmet, much improved from last time" Percy said to him while helping him back up. They looked around then and saw many impressed faces aside from Bella who would have been impressed but she hadn't really been able to follow what was happening during the fight as they were both moving too fast for her to make out much of anything so she was mostly just surprised when it was over. "So just to recap" Percy started intending on explaining how he had ended up winning so everyone gathered could learn something for the battle "You don't always have to block the attacks directly. In fact it's better if you don't as you will save energy and not end up in a strength contest which Edward says we will lose. You can use your opponent's momentum against them to bring them out of position and open them up for a counter attack". Percy continued giving hints for a while until it was time to try out numbered fights.
"Alright which two want to be my practice partners this time" Percy asked the group. Emmet laughed and said "I've had enough of getting my ass kicked someone else can take a turn." Carlisle spoke up then "Well I think it would be better if you continue to fight us vampires instead of the wolves so you don't injure them with your sword and it will be a better representation of what we will be up against for tomorrow so I'll volunteer." The wolves nodded their agreement not wanting to get too close to Percy with that sword of his. Sure they fought vampires without a second thought but Percy was different and most of them didn't want to go up against him even if it was just practice. They couldn't reform after all so if Percy didn't let up they could be in a lot of trouble and for the vampires it wasn't really a problem unless they got burned afterwards. Edward agreed to fight as well which made Bella slightly nervous but he quickly reassured her that he would be fine. Bella had to admit she knew he would be after seeing Emmet just fine after his fights with Percy but she still didn't like the idea of Edward and Percy fighting. Percy quickly went down to the water and splashed some on his face to wake himself up and get ready for the fight.
Edward and Carlisle circled Percy getting on opposite sides of him as they prepared to attack. Percy just stood there in the middle waiting to react to whatever they did. They both launched into their assault at the same time but Percy quickly swiped at Carlisle with riptide, forcing him back, while spinning around to face Edward. Percy crouched low to the ground and met Edward with his shield to stop his attack. As Edward hit it though, Percy lifted Edward up on top of the shield while rolling backwards using the momentum Edward had created to catapult him overtop of Percy and sent him flying into Carlisle. Percy spun around again and stabbed towards them and they just managed to avoid his attack, still surprised by Percy's tactics. Emmet who was watching this closely laughed a little. He thought the two on ones would be where Percy would struggle but it seemed he would still be able to hold his own. Percy was pushing himself quite hard to keep up with the combined attacks he was facing but he still felt in control of the battle. Most of the time he would dodge or counterattack to avoid being hit but he used his shield a fair bit as well. Percy didn't just use his shield as defense though as he bashed the two vampires a few times with it to catch them off guard and also deflected their blows like he had done to Emmet. The difference with this fight though is Percy was occasionally able to redirect Edward and Carlisle attacks to hit each other if they were not careful. It was this tactic that eventually won the fight for Percy. Edward aimed a punch at Percy's head from his left which Percy used his shield to redirect towards Carlisle who was coming at Percy from his other side. When Edwards's fist connected with Carlisle it stopped his attack and also snapped Carlisle's head back which stopped him from seeing and reacting to Percy's attack on his legs until it was too late and Percy had severed his legs taking him out of the fight. Percy then bashed Edward hard with his shield causing Edward to temporarily lose his balance and Percy used the opening created by this to end the fight with one final attack from riptide. Percy dropped to one knee when he was finished to regain his breath. He was tired and sore from the fights today as they had been much harder than his first fight with Emmet considering they were all aware of his prowess now and had fought accordingly making them much more cautious and therefore harder to hit. He had avoided taking any direct blows but the constant hammering on his shield had caused his arm to go a little numb but he fixed this with another treatment of salt water.
Percy decided to give feedback and tips at this point so he stood up again and started speaking. "Good fight you two that was quite the workout. Remember to be conscious of your allies at all times, you don't want to attack just to have your opponent dodge and then you are aimed at a friendly that was behind them. We will be outnumbered tomorrow but it is still something to think about as we will be mixed together after first contact. As for when you are fighting while outnumbered it can be very tricky to overcome. The key is to stay calm and keep control so that you don't make any mistakes the enemy can pick up on and make you pay with. Also if you see an opportunity to use one opponent against another it can be very helpful as it not only allows you to throw them off balance but it can frustrate them and make them lose focus. He continued to give tips for a while before the group split up and started practicing what he had taught them. He continued to walk around them making minor corrections and giving out small pointers until he felt comfortable they had the hang of it and went to sit by Bella and watch.
"That was pretty amazing Percy" Bella told him as he sat beside her. "Well I've had a lot of practice with this stuff, too much so if you ask me it would be nice to be able to just relax for once." He replied. "Well there shouldn't be anything stopping you after we win this fight" Alice said to him as she joined them, taking a break from all the fighting. Percy nodded but replied "I guess we'll see but trouble has a way of finding me wherever I go, sort of like Bella I guess but on hyper drive." He yawned after saying this; it was getting quite late as they had been at this for several hours now. Bella yawned as well and Edward came over and said "I guess it's bed time for the humans". "Yep" Bella replied then thought of something "Oh shoot we told Charlie we were leaving for New York tonight so he wouldn't be suspicious of us being gone during the battle so we don't have a place to stay. How did we not think of this Percy?" Before he could answer Edward and Alice chuckled and told them "You are more than welcome to stay with us at our place tonight" "Sounds good let's go" Percy said and got into the car to drive them up there. "We will meet you at the house, your car doesn't really have room for us" Alice said to him and he nodded. The group dispersed for the night at this point, happy with their progress and feeling confident tomorrow would go well.
When Percy pulled up to the Cullen house hold the Cullens were already there waiting considering they didn't need to bother taking the road and just ran straight through the forest. Alice and Edward led them into the house and Edward took Bella towards his room so she could use the bed he had recently purchased. Alice took Percy to her room where she also had a bed he could use for the night. When Percy finished getting ready for bed he slid under the covers and Alice joined him. They talked briefly about the battle tomorrow and assured each other that they felt everything would be ok and then wrapped each other in their arms content to be holding each other comfortably and Percy quickly fell asleep considering the amount of fatigue he felt at the moment. Edward and Bella were in a very similar position and the house settled into a comfortable silence for the night.
AN: So there you have it, I can't remember what the size of the army they faced in the actual books was but I wanted to increase it significantly due to Percy's presence here. Also I hoped everyone enjoyed the new fights with Percy in this chapter but I still couldn't make him lose to Emmet or the others as I just don't think that would happen considering what Percy has accomplished and how good of a fighter he is. As always If you have any feedback or general comments I'm always happy to see them.
