Ancient Promises
Harry made a mad dash to biology. He only had two minutes before the final bell and he really didn't want to be at the end of a glare from the biology teacher. They had already been at the school for a little over a month and he had not been able to speak with Katie properly so he took lunch off and spend the entire thirty minutes talking to her over Iris message.
Harry slid into the hallway and sprinted into the room just as the bell went off, "Ah Ms. Potter, glad you join us."
"You and I both sir," Harry panted out as he took his seat in front of Edward and Bella and placed his bag and book on the counter next to the window. The teacher shook his head and said something about god giving him the strength to not quit his job. Harry let his head fall on the lab desk still trying to catch his breath.
"Where did you run off to during lunch?" Bella hissed out as Harry collected his person from the desk.
"Shit, I'm sorry! Totally forgot I had to inform you of every breath I take master!"
Edward bit back a laugh as Harry placed both his hands together in prayer position and closed his eyes as if waiting to be punished. Bella glared at the demigod and was about to make a comment when the teacher cut her off, "Well then, now that the entire class is here," Harry looked up and gave the teacher a thumbs up, "We can gather our things and head outside. Today, as you may all remember, is our scavenger hunt in the woods behind the school so grab your things and meet me outside the building."
Harry froze. He had completely forgotten about the stupid scavenger hunt! He couldn't even blame his ADHD on it, in fact if he wanted to blame something or someone it would be Edward Cullen! Or should he say Edward Masen as his "dream" self would call him. There was no doubt in his mind that this Edward was the same or at least the reincarnated version of the boy that was at one time his lover.
Ever since both their fingers had accidentally touched, Harry had been constantly having dreams, snippets of what he believed was his previous life. Before it had been one every few weeks, now it was just ridiculous! He had talked to Luke about it, but Luke only really offered the follow your heart speech. He didn't know what else to do! Chiron was forbidden from hinting any sort of knowledge of a campers previous life and Percy was as useful as Luke! Annabeth would probably get worried and start to think of ways to get Harry to tell Edward and gaah it was too much! Needless to say Harry tried to spend as little time as possible with the youngest Cullen.
"Harry…"
Harry looked up to see Angela looking at him worriedly, "yeah?"
"Umm we have to go…"
Harry blinked a few times before getting with the program. He stood up quickly and grabbed his things while apologizing to both Angela and Grover.
They caught up to the class a few seconds later and followed the herd to the east side of the campus. Harry spotted Edward a few people ahead of them talking with one of his brothers, Jasper, if Harry recalled. The senior chemistry class had apparently been assigned the same hunt as the bio class so off they went to the woods.
The teachers stopped them all at the edge of the woods and began a quick lesson on safety and what not. Both Harry and Grover scanned the area around them. The forest was old and thick, why they used them for teaching anything other than survival skills was beyond Harry's comprehension.
"All right kids, we are going to call out names and you will head into the green in groups of four."
Both Harry and Grover's eyes widened, one of them needed to be paired up with Angela!
"Can you?" Grover asked worriedly as the teachers began to call out names.
"No…fate is something that the mist can't manipulate, well…that I'm already pushing it to it's limit."
"Harry Potter, Isabella Swan, Michael Newton, and Jasper Cullen."
All four of them stepped forward and received a piece of paper from the chemistry teacher, "Those are the plants and animals you will be looking for good luck."
Harry glanced down at his paper and saw the listed items, "Only five…"
"We all have five. Each paper is different and in alphabetical order." Mike said smiling at Harry.
"Good times then… who has group A?"
"I do," Jasper said softly.
"So we start with Jasper's group then move on to mine, who's got the next set?"
"Me."
"Ok then Mike and then Bella's, sound good?" Harry asked trying to stall them long enough to find out if Grover had gotten a spot with Angela.
"Well aren't you the useful one…" Bella said while giving Harry an icy glare.
"Age before beauty," Harry said while moving to let Bella pass him. The girl pursed her lips and refused to move. She was about to open her mouth when Jasper moved and passed them into the forest, "I seem to be the eldest of us four." He said as he passed Harry.
"Touché Hale," Harry laughed as he turned from the stunned Bella and Mike, "Precious time kids let go."
Harry glanced over to where Grover was and let out a breath he was holding. He had been paired up with Angela, Edward and some guy with wavy looking brown hair.
"Will you stop looking at him," a voice hissed in Harry ear.
Harry turned and found a fuming Bella inches away from his face, "Pardon?"
"Stop looking at him!"
"At who?"
"Edward!"
"Stop looking at Edward?"
"Yes!"
Harry smirked at her and walked away. He loved pushing that girl's buttons! True she kinda freaked him out a bit, like about a week ago when he was changing in after gym, she had tried to sneak a peek at him undressing only to have herself get caught after she fell on her face when she tripped over her own shoelace. Then the week after that, Harry swore she was following him in the library when he went looking for a copy of a musical he needed for class. Really…shouldn't she be stalking Edward? Harry ignored the little voice at the back of his head that hissed out a 'oh hell no that bitch best not be!' and moved on to find the last thing on his list.
"I'm done," Jasper called back to his group as they all came near him.
"So am I…" Harry said as he walked up to look at Jasper's paper.
Mike stared at them in shock and Bella just glowered at Harry, "What's on your list Newton?"
Mike came out of his stupor and handed Harry his list. Both Jasper and Harry looked it over then headed down the path. Five minutes later they were on Bella's list.
"Can this be any simpler," Harry sighed as he found the second thing on Bella's list.
"You've done this before?" Jasper asked as he came over to Harry. Bella's mood was making him very uncomfortable.
"Camp I went to in New York. They had us do stuff like this all the time. Ah here it is, SWAN I FOUND IT!" he said in the most annoying high pitched voice he could pull off.
Jasper tried not to laugh as he felt Bella's irritated self come near them, "Where is it then?" she spat out.
"Oh no! Its gone! Sorry!" Harry added a giggle to just for the heck of it.
She let out a stream of curses under her breath before storming off to find Mike, "She's not too fond of you it seems."
"Oh I'll grow on her," He replied sarcastically, "Let's go after them before she breaks her nose on a tree. Tree would never get over the trauma of having that…"
A thundering sound cut off whatever it was that Harry was going to say. He immediately looked around trying to locate Grover and Angela hoping they were nowhere near whatever it was that had made that sound.
"We should go back," Jasper said eyeing the wilderness around them.
Harry nodded still looking for a sign of his friend and his charge, "You go find Bella and Mike, I need to find Grover."
As they say, speak of the devil and he will come, "Harry!"
Harry turned and saw Angela and Grover coming towards him with Edward and the one guy in tow, "Did you two hear that?"
"Yeah we better head on in," He said as he looked at Grover who was pale as a ghost.
Sure enough the teachers had begun to call every team in. They stuck together until they reached the edge of the woods where the teachers were counting heads.
"How far, how many?"
"Not far…it s only two…they smell powerful.."
"Is she?"
"Not a lot…"
"Its me then?"
"Could be or they somehow picked up on all four of you…"
Both Edward and Jasper pretended to not hear the conversation going on behind them, what in the world were they talking about a smell?
"All right everyone turn in whatever you have done to us and head straight to the classrooms. Do not wander off!"
The students grumbled and shuffled forward. As the wave of students moved, Harry noticed Grover still completely…He followed the satyrs gaze and stop breathing all together.
"empousa," Grover whimpered.
"Take her and go. Call Percy." Harry whispered into Grover's ear.
Grover opened his mouth to protest but was cut off before he could say a word.
"Just go!"
Harry shoved Grover forward and the Satyr quickly grabbed Angela who let out a startled yelp, "We have to hurry I think I left my medicine in the classroom!"
Angela nodded too startled by Grover sudden speed to argue.
Harry waited for them to move a considerable amount before eyeing both Edward and Jasper who weren't moving fast enough. Harry pretended to move after them forcing both boys to pick up their pace. As soon they were far enough, Harry dropped the mist around himself and lifted it behind both the siblings backs making sure that they would not be able to see that he had stayed behind.
"Now that wasn't very nice Harry…" a sweet voice layered with venom whispered from Harry's left.
"Master do you know this half-blood?" another voice whispered from Harry's right.
"Yes, you've met a second cousin of his my dear Tammi…"
The one to Harry's right stayed silent as if trying to recall whom it was she was supposed to remember. Harry needed to keep them distracted long enough so they wouldn't both attack at the same time. He could take on "master", he'd done it before, but the one called Tammi, well Harry felt she wouldn't take his attacking her master very well.
"Kelli…how have you been?" Harry asked as casually as he could while keeping one eye on Tammi.
"Slightly sore after our last dance love," she hissed out
"Sorry, I never was a good gentleman."
"So is that why you choose to disguise yourself as a lady?"
Harry smirked, "Something like that."
Kelli narrowed her eyes at the green eyed boy and walked around his front, "What is it you are doing here." That wasn't much of a question, so Harry knew she was coming to the end of her diplomatic approach.
"I could ask you the same question," he said as he turned his body to continue facing the senior empousa.
Kelli continued to move until she was standing next to Tammi, "That is none of your concern."
"It is if Hecate send you."
"My lady knows nothing of this."
"Then answer, or would you have me raise alarm. It's only been a year Kelli, negotiations are still fresh."
Kelli glared openly at the insolent half-blood before her. She was older and most definitely wiser, yet this spawn of the cup bearer tested her like it was nothing, "We are hunting. We too must feed demigod."
"Then leave. There is nothing here for you. Not while I am at this school."
"Why would we do that? Small towns are always ripe with eager young men, and this town intrigues me…something protects it, I wish to know what magic it is."
"Because if you don't, I'll give you another scar to match the one I gave you on your chest."
Kelli growled and crouched preparing to attack, "Try it and I'll rip another hole in your side to match, as you say."
Tammi was still trying to figure out what relative of the boy her master had mentioned she knew and so did not notice the fact that they were a hairs breath away from engaging in combat.
Edward and Jasper turned quickly as Harry's scent suddenly vanished and a thick wall of what appeared to be solid fog made it impossible for them to tell if Harry was behind it. Both made to move back to insure the human's safety, but the teachers called to them before they could go.
Both reluctantly turned back and walked towards the teachers. Disappearing at vampire speed was not going to work with two pairs of eyes watching them closely.
When they neared the buildings both immortals parted ways and went with their respective educators. Edward quickened his step hoping that, when he reached the classroom, Harry would be outside waiting with the rest of the class to be allowed back in.
Apparently that wasn't the case. He was about to ask Grover and Angela if they had seen Harry, but the teacher arrived soon after he did and made them all sit for a head count.
"Good it looks like…where is Ms. Potter?"
"She had to go to the nurse office. Emergency sir, an old injury was bothering her slightly." Grover answered. Edward's brow furrowed, he could recall that Harry had been in no such pain and Grover hadn't spoken to Harry long enough to have the mortal speak of any pain.
The teacher suddenly got a look on his face that suggested he had heard of this injury before and simply nodded and continued on with his business telling them they had free time until the bell rang. Which meant Edward was stuck with Bella….for a good fifteen minutes…the joy he felt could not even be seen with the best microscope in the world.
He sighed and turned his head out the window just as Bella had seemed to have worked up the nerve to speak to him…again. He answered the questions with grunts and other such uninterested sounds hoping she would catch on, but it seemed the girl was not only a stalker but she was also a few pennies short of a nickel!
Edward suddenly straightened up. Percy Jackson, the boy that transferred into the school with Harry and the other girl Anabeth, was running like the devil was at his heels. Edward stood abruptly as he realized in which direction it was that the boy was headed.
"Mr. Cullen, is there a problem?"
"No sir, I apologize."
Edward sat back down and gripped the side of the table. He knew, he felt something was going on and Harry was somehow involved. The strange boy or girl or whatever he or she was, he knew there was something odd, something mysterious about Harry, yet at the same time he felt like he had felt this strangeness, this mystery before…with the boy from his memories…the boy with the same eyes as Harry.
"Edward are you feeling ok?"
Edward quickly snapped himself from his mind and immediately released the table as Bella made move to touch his hand, "I'm fine, please don't touch me."
Bella blushed and stammered out an apology. She turned away trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Percy Jackson!"
Both Kelli and Harry looked at Tammi in disbelief, "Is she for real?"
"Not my brightest student…"
"Man, now I feel bad…"
Tammi hissed and her eyes went bright red. Harry was slightly taken aback, she seemed to have heard him, "Hey there Tammi! Long time no see." or not.
Tammi hissed and launched herself at the taunting Percy. The demigod simply dodged her and uncapped Riptide and activated his watch shield courtesy of Tyson. Tammi growled and lashed out at Percy again.
Percy brought up his shield and let it take the angry claws trying to rip off his face, "Probably should have said Hi instead, shit!" he rolled as she tried to hit him with her metal foot.
"Its not polite to only have one couple dancing," Kelli said as her eyes began to glow red.
"Be my guest," Harry smirked as he brought out a hair pin with a blue fairy thimble flower decorating its end. He transformed the pin and in its place a four foot bronze blade appeared in its place. At the hilt, the fairy thimble seemed to glow brighter than the blade itself. On his left hand, the finger blade was ready and extended for the attack.
Kelli stiffened as she remembered the weapons. Harry smirked at her reaction, "what you didn't think I'd dance with you without the right attire did you?"
Kelli growled and rushed at Harry with everything she had. Harry backed away and brought his blade up in defense, and extended his left hand to attack.
As Kelli made contact with the sword using her metal foot, Harry lashed out with the finger blade. She dodged it and flipped into the forest. Harry cursed and went in after her.
Percy saw as Harry ran after Kelli. Tammi had apparently come back with a few new moves and was giving Percy a slight run for his money. Tammi charged at Percy in blind anger. The demigod stood his ground and transformed his shield back to a watch. He needed to finish this one quickly. Tammi saw the opening and went in for Percy's heart. She extended her claws and grinned as her left hand pierced Percy's left arm. Her grin faded and her eyes went wide, "Got ya."
Tammi let out a scream as Percy yanked out Riptide from the empousa's abdomen. She burst into dust and Percy fell on one knee inspecting the damage to his arm. Five bullet hole like wounds were leaking demigod blood, "Yeah…I'm so getting yelled at for this."
A combined scream echoed from the forest. He got up an ran in praying to the gods Kelli had somehow managed to grow extra vocal chords.
Kelli had chosen to attack Harry from above and as she fell Harry turned and caught her mid air. When they tumbled to the ground Kelli managed to jab her claw into Harry's injured side. They both screamed as Harry jabbed the pitch black blade of his finger protector deep into Kelli's chest as her claw ripped at his previously healing wound. They stopped tumbling with Kelli atop of Harry. She gave him a hateful glare before disintegrating into a pile of dust.
"Fuck you too bitch…" Harry grumbled out as he pulled himself up. He let out a groan as he placed his hand over his wound. The blood was all over his ripped jacket.
"Harry!"
Said boy turned and saw Percy running towards him, "Percy, your alive!"
"Eat me."
Harry smiled and pointed and his bleeding side, "I think I may need a new band aid…"
"Really? didn't notice it."
They both laughed and started limping out of the forest. When they reached the edge, they hid their weapons and Harry picked up his forgotten bag, "Looks like we have to ditch…you think Grover and Annabeth would mind walking?"
"Nah…I just told Grover. I'm driving though. Let's hurry before the bell rings and we have to explain why you're suddenly missing the boobs you were already lacking."
"Hey! I gave myself a barely B!"
They both laughed as Percy ripped his shirt and gave to Harry so he could apply pressure to his side. Percy's own wounds had already started to heal courtesy of the River Styx.
"Lets go puddle lord," Harry winced as Percy placed a hand around his waist to help him walk.
"Don't pass out on me jailbait."
Harry grunted and let himself be led to the car, "Is it weird that we're not freaking out at the moment?"
"I think that lack of reaction comes with the demigod thing."
"Yeah…good times."
They reached the car and took off just as the bell rang.
Edward rushed out the door as soon as the bell rang. He was about to head back towards the woods when he saw Annabeth run into the hall way. He moved out of her way and noticed she was carrying an extra bag and books.
"Grover!" he heard her call out.
Said boy turned and he heard him ask Angela to go off without him. Bella instantly caught up to the girl and began her twenty question routine. He brought his attention back to Annabeth and Grover who were now having a quick discussion in Greek.
"Percy didn't come back!"
"He left with Harry. He said they were both fine, but that we would have to walk home."
"Injuries?"
"He wouldn't say. But I'm sure there were some or else they wouldn't have left…"
"We cant leave Angela…but I know those two idiots would probably decide to take a nap instead of healing themselves!"
"Call Luke?"
Annabeth thought about calling the Luke person but shook her head no stating that they wouldn't know if he was away from the people at reservation.
"There's two classes left…can you keep contact with Percy every thirty minutes?"
"Yeah…I'll come get you if he blacks out, assuming I don't pass out as well."
Annabeth ran a hand through her hair and nodded, resigned seeing as there was nothing else they could really do.
"Go on, we cant afford Angela getting hurt as well."
Grover nodded and took off, surprising Edward with his speed.
Annabeth left soon after Grover. Edward stood still, unable to wrap his head around everything he just heard. The bell brought him back to his senses. He took in an unnecessary breath and took off towards the theater.
The end of the school day couldn't have come sooner for Edward. Theater had gone on forever and don't get him started on his last class. He made his way to his car avoiding as many people as possible. When he reached the parking lot he noticed Annabeth and Grover waving Angela off then turning to walk off toward the sidewalk. Then an idea hit him. He let them get closer to him before calling for Grover.
"Hey do you guys need a ride home?"
"umm don't you take your bother and sister a ride home too?" Grover asked
"Oh Jasper said he would leave with Rosalie and Emmet since they are heading into town to get a few things." Alice said as she came out of thin air.
Annabeth blinked a few times, not sure if she was finally going crazy.
"Well if you don't mind." Grover said looking up at the sky. It looked like it was about to rain…he really didn't like getting wet without notice.
"Not at all."
Annabeth looked at Grover before nodding, "We would really appreciate it."
All four walked to Edward's car. Alice going in the back with Annabeth.
"Which way?" Edward asked.
"Turn left at the corner then go straight down the street and turn right at the corner that comes up."
Edward nodded and backed out his car as soon as Rosalie started up her own car with Emmet and Jasper in tow.
Harry winced slightly as Percy finished cleaning his wound. It was at times like these that Harry wished he had gone into the River Styx along with Percy.
"Looks like she didn't poison you this time. She only grabbed on."
"Lovely," Harry said as he got off the counter to place his clean shirt on, "You almost healed?"
"Yeah, she just pushed in the tips of her nails."
Harry snorted and helped Percy clean up, "Umm are we burning the clothes?"
"Maybe we should wait for Annabeth, that way we know if we use the clothes as decoys to smell."
"PERCY! WHY IS THERE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS?"
Both Harry and Percy jumped at the sound of Luke's voice coming over an unexpected iris message.
"It's ketchup?"
Luke's eyebrow twitched at his boyfriend's answer, "You two have until the count of two to tell me the truth before I go over there and raise hell…"
"Two empousa found their way near the school. Harry and Grover saw them during biology," Percy gave it up faster than a hooker on the Vegas strip. He knew better than to challenge Luke when he was in protective mode.
Luke turned to Harry who gulped, "I couldn't let Grover stay with me, he called Percy to aid me…and well one of the monsters managed to claw at my side hence the blood."
"Were they after the girl?"
"No, it was intrigue and hunger. They were hunting and managed to get through whatever is protecting this place, but they apparently still felt the difference between this place and the outside world."
"Your wound Harry, how is it?"
Harry's eyes widened at the implication of Luke's words.
"Luke its fine I can continue! The prophecy has nothing to do with this!"
Luke looked over to Percy who nodded in agreement, "He's fine, Kelli just put pressure on it."
Luke ranked his eyes all over Percy, "What happened to you?"
"I'm fine Luke, I healed already. Tammy just got the tips of her nails into my shoulder but its ok now."
"THAT UGLY FUCK DID WHAT!"
He was shouting in Greek now.
"It's ok! Look I'm fine love! I put Riptide through her and she went poof!"
Percy pulled off his shirt and showed the fuming his healed shoulder.
"I'm coming over…"
With that Luke cut off the connection leaving both Percy and Harry in stunned silence.
"You are in soooooooo much trouble…" Harry snickered and Percy paled at the thought of his fiancé inspecting him for further injuries.
Both boys jumped as they heard the sound of doors slamming.
"The hell, that cant be him," Harry muttered as he moved to the door, "Oh shit!"
"What?" Percy asked as he skidded to a stop next to Harry trying to see through the little peek hole.
"Oh ho ho ho! Looks like you got some splaining to do too Lucy!" Percy sniggered as Harry glared at him from under his bangs.
"He probably just offered the ride 'cus he thought Grover wouldn't make the walk."
"Uh hu and Luke isn't going to lock me in my room for the next few hours."
"Why would he want to come visit me any way I've only known him for like a month!"
Percy gave him a look and walked into the kitchen, "You better walk out there and have a chat to settle him down. We didn't confiscate the blood remember?"
Harry muttered a few curses, set up his mist and opened the door before Annabeth and Grover even got near the steps, "Long time no see."
Annabeth immediately ran to him and turned him making sure nothing was missing, "Keep that up and I'm going to start locking my bedroom door."
Annabeth smacked him over the head, "Don't you two ever leave like that without telling me first!"
Harry held his hands up in defeat and chuckled, "Ok sorry, look I'm fine. Percy is inside, Luke is coming over to yell at us more in a bit so go on."
Annabeth rolled her eyes and said goodbye to Edward and Alice before heading in with Grover in tow. Grover gave Harry a once over to which Harry again affirmed he was in perfect shape.
Edward was relived to see Harry standing and in perfect shape. He was a bit worried when the faint smell of blood reached him so he had no idea what to expect.
"See you at home Edward," Alice whispered as she waved hello and apparently good bye to Harry. She grabbed his car keys and drove off like some one had summoned her to a shoe sale on the other side of town.
"Looks like I'm taking you home," He heard Harry chuckle.
Edward turned to apologize but was stopped short as he found Harry standing right next to him, "How did you…"
Harry smiled and winked up at Edward, "I'm magic."
Edward gave him a look before turning on the half-blood to face him properly, "Are seriously alright?"
Harry nodded again, "Yes I am, its just an old wound. I'm fine really."
Edward was about to ask again when Harry cut him off, "Come with me!"
Edward found there was no room for argument as Harry grabbed the sleeve of his jacket and dragged him around the house and to the backyard. Harry let Edward go as he reached the big tree that was planted in the middle of the backyard.
He sat down with his back to the tree and patted the ground next to himself telling Edward to sit.
Edward lifted an eyebrow and complied.
"So how was the rest of school?"
Edward let out a chuckle as he let his head fall back on the tree bark, "Changing subjects?"
Harry stuck his tongue out, "Answer the question Cullen."
Edward smiled and ran his hand through his hair, "Well we had free time in biology. Bella decided she would talk to me today."
"ew why?"
Edward laughed out right at this, "She thinks I'm mysterious because of my family. Rumor goes they know everything and nothing about us."
"That was so cheesy I nearly brought out a cracker," Harry said with a straight face.
Edward laughed again, "It's true! First day of school she was on me like a moth to the flame, I had to leave for a week so I could breath in some fresh air."
"Stalker much? You think she swings both ways? She cant seem to leave me alone either."
"I think she just finds you irritating. if her cursing every morning when she sees you means anything."
"And here I thought she was going to buy some caramel filled milk chocolate bars! What about you Edward? You find me irritating?"
Edward turned to look Harry directly in the eyes before answering, "I find you…to be refreshing."
Both boys laughed out loud before stopping abruptly. Edward looked at Harry with worry as the boy suddenly paled a bit.
"Oww that was smart."
He saw Harry put pressure to his side before relaxing as the pain went away.
"Would mind me asking how you got injured?" Edward asked carefully.
Harry thought about it for a minute before answering, "About a year ago…there was a big fight between the camp I go to and a rival camp I guess you could call it. It was only a few of us that got involved, most of us ran in to protect our friends and well yeah. I was watching Percy's back when someone tried to get him, I took the hit and now I have a cute gaping hole on my side see."
Harry lifted his shirt to show him the bandage, "I must have reopened it by accident last night when I thought it would be cool to lift a few bags of manure for the garden."
Harry pointed at a few sacks of Mrs. Moo Moo's Quality Manure.
"Are you coming to school tomorrow?" Edward asked after a few silent minutes.
He held back a smile as Harry hummed in thought. Like Bella, he could not hear Harry thoughts. Well no, that wasn't entirely accurate, he could hear them, but they were like a giant conversation. So much went on that not one thought had control.
"I guess I'll grace the student population with my presence."
"I'm sure we'll all appreciate it." chuckled feeling glad that Harry felt comfortable enough with him to speak so informally.
Edward felt a jolt of electricity when Harry shoved him. It wasn't like the last time, but it was still strong. The feeling that he had had physical contact with this boy or girl or whatever this person was. He knew that touch, that hand and by the look on Harry face the feeling was more than mutual.
Harry cursed himself as the shock of physical contact went through his body. Unfortunately he wouldn't be able to play it off like he had done so in biology. Though he was grateful that no past life movie reel came around this time, but he still could have done without the award silence that came with spark.
"We should umm get you home before it gets dark." Harry mutter as he made to move. Edward nodded in agreement.
Then it happened. Harry could swear Aphrodite had to have something to do with it he just felt it! Both he and Edward had shifted up at the same time and so Harry lost his footing, grabbed on to the nearest solid mass aka Edward and so they both tumbled towards the earth. So now Harry was on his back, legs parted, with Edward covering him with his own body.
Harry's grip tightened on the sides of Edward's jacket. Their eyes were locked, neither blinking for the fear that the moment would be broken. Edward slowly began to lean in as Harry's hand began a journey up the young man's back. They were a hair's breath away from each other, when mother nature decided the town was in need of watering.
Water began pouring down bring both boys back to their senses. The scrambled away from each other calling out apology after apology as they straightened themselves up.
"I'll go get the car keys and umm yeah take you home." Harry mumbled as he ran his fingers through his hair trying to get the grass out of it.
Edward nodded and placed his hands in his pockets, "I'll wait by the car.."
Both quickly moved as the rain began to fall faster. Harry went beeline into the house trying to get his heart rate back down to normal. He ignored the looks his friends were giving him and quickly muttered that he would be back soon. He stepped out and dropped his keys in surprise…Edward was gone.
As soon as Harry had shut the door to the house Edward took off. He couldn't trust himself to be in the same car as Harry at the moment, his control over himself had almost snapped. He ran as fast as he could through the forest, hoping the cold wind would calm him before he got home.
He arrived in record time, still a bit shaken over what had almost been. He entered the house and immediately found Alice looking like the cat that had just caught the mouse.
"Have fun?" she asked as innocently as she could.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Edward nearly shouted as he took off his soaked jacket.
"Where would the fun be in that?"
Edward gave her a small glare before going up to his room for a change of clothes, he would deal with that vampire at a later hour.
Alice smiled and walked into the kitchen where Esme was reading a cook book she had found in an old box, "What was that all about?"
"Just Edward discovering movement in his facial muscles."
Esme gave her daughter a look before going back to her book, "Just don't make him uncomfortable dear."
Alice smiled again and turned to greet her husband, who was about to walk in the front door. She stopped and laughed a bit when Esme's voice followed her, "And I want to know all about this person soon."
Harry was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw an unfamiliar car with a familiar driver park next to Mr. Chase's car. He smiled when Luke got out and rushed up to meet Harry on the porch, "where's my Percy?"
"Inside waiting for you."
Luke quickly turned Harry and confirmed no missing limbs before rushing in, "Don't tire him out!" Harry called after him.
Luke merely waved him off. Last thing Harry heard before he lent down to pick up was Percy begging for mercy as Luke took him up the stairs for a thorough examination.
Harry sighed and leaned against the wall next to the door before sliding down and placing his head in his hands, "Edward Cullen…why do I want you to be…my Edward that I lost…"
A few hours later Luke and Percy finally emerged from the latter's bed room.
Harry expected Luke to call some kind of meeting but it turned out he had to get back on the reservation because he left Nico doing some research on the tribes rituals and the boy was still a bit stiff when it came to social skills.
"Don't any of you engage in combat again unless more than two of you are present." He said to all of them before turning to Harry, "I know your fine Harry, but consider calling a few more campers in. Think about it, we'll talk next weekend when I can bring Nico with me."
Harry wouldn't meet his gaze, but nodded. Luke sighed and placed a hand on his cousin's shoulder, "I believe in your strength Harry, but I'm concerned over your well being."
Harry nodded again and placed his hand over Luke's squeezing it in reassurance.
"Alright guys, I'll you all soon. Stay safe." he said as he hugged them all good bye,
"I'll walk you out," Percy said as he grabbed Luke's hand and intertwined their fingers.
Luke smiled and kissed his lover's hand before they both walked out to Luke's car.
"Let's get some sleep, its been a long day," Annabeth said as she got up and stretched her arms, "Good night you guys."
Harry lay awake in the darkness of his room. The days events had finally begun to weigh down on his body and his eyes began to close with fatigue.
In a mater of seconds he found himself in a dead forest. Shades of gray surrounded him. The floor was covered by a thick fog and in the distance he could make out the shape of an old worn down church. He moved forward, curious as to what was inside the old building.
He stopped as he felt awkward when he took the first step, "What the hell.."
When Harry looked down, he found himself wearing what appeared to be a black wedding dress. It was strapless and fitted perfectly to his body. He lifted the dress slightly and sure enough he was wearing matching black heels. His hands were covered with black laced gloves and on his head a black veil covered his curled hair.
"I'm totally taking a manly vacation after this.."
He sighed and walked onward towards the church. As he got closer to the old church the foliage became more distorted and the sky a darker gray. Harry knew this wasn't real, but he couldn't help the fear he began to feel in his heart.
When he finally reached the old doors, he hesitated to open them. Something in the back of his mind told him he would not like what he would find inside. Harry steeled his nerves and pushed the doors open. He walked in slowly, following the moldy red carpet that led to the altar. The seats at both sides of the aisle were filled with faceless black shadows. Tattered decorations filled the entire church, some even littered around the floor. The high windows were covered, sealed with wooden planks letting only streaks of gray light into the aged building. He continued forward, suddenly finding himself holding a bouquet of red roses. As he finally looked up to the altar, he nearly stopped in surprise. There waiting for the ceremony to commence, was a bride dressed in white. Her face covered by a matching veil. Behind her dressed in blood red gowns were her faceless bridesmaids.
Harry kept on walking his gaze never leaving the bride. As he finally stood near her, he turned to where the groom should be and dropped the bouquet in shock.
It was Edward. He was this woman's groom. Harry quickly turned to the bride and stepped in front of her, blocking Edward from her view. He reached out and lifted the veil with shaky hands.
A cruel smile came over the brides face as Harry unveiled her, "You told him to move on. To grow old and find a new love."
"Not you.." Harry whispered as he stared at her, "it cant be you."
The bride smirked and shoved Harry aside. Suddenly a priest appeared, it was as if the ceremony had been paused, waiting for Harry to finally show up.
"Do you Edward Anthony Masen, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer until death do you part?" the old priest asked.
"I do," Edward said in an emotionless voice.
"Edward…No…" Harry whispered, "Not her…"
"And do you Isabella Marie Swan, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer until death do you part?"
Bella turned and looked directly at Harry before answering, "I do."
"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Bella smirked at Harry before both she and Edward leaned in and kissed.
"EDWARD NOT HER!" Harry screamed out as he fell to his knees as tears began to roll down his face. He reached out to Edward, but was shoved aside as the bride and groom made their way to the double doors.
Cheers erupted from the faceless guest and Harry soon found himself alone in the dusty church, with only his echoing sobs as his company.
Harry woke up gasping from his dream. He was sweating and his eyes stung from his unshed tears, "It was a dream Harry," He told himself, "It was nothing but a dream…"
He lay back down on his bed, covering his face with his shaking hands. Demigods don't have dreams, and that fact was what petrified him the most.
