Chapter 7 - Blood Moon

ApPOV

Things between Edward and I are awkward ever since he hugged me the other night. I know he loves my daughter and for now that is enough for me to like him but I can not fight the truth that I know inside.

Isabella had not fully recovered from her fainting spell. My beauty, I think its time we tell them everything. I was seriously hating this connection crap at this time. We can't. You know the rules.

He would forsake the rules but I would not. There are just some things that are not meant to be shared with outsiders. Which brings me to business for the day.

"Edward I do believe now is a good a time as any. We should go to Olympia. And yes Isabella as well" I told him. She smiled but he seemed grim.

"What if you are wrong?" he asked. If I am then all of us will perish.

"I am not wrong" I told him. He nodded. I went to find Carlisle knowing that he knew what we had spoke about. I knocked on his study door. "Come in" he told me. I held my breath then walked in.

"Carlisle I need to speak to you" I paused " We are leaving to go the Olympia." I told him. As he took that in I dove deep inside myself reaching for the power of the Gods. I pushed out a thin layer of power so no one else could hear this conversation. He was looking at me strangely. "what did you do?" he asked. Of course he would notice.

"No one can hear us" I walked up to him and kneeled in front of his chair " Carlisle I know you love my daughter as does you son. The four of us are going to Olympia and I am not sure when we will be able to return."

He seemed to be in shock. I knew we didn't have much time before the others realized how quiet it is up here. "Carlisle?"

"You will not be returning. You never had plans of returning" he said. It was not a question.

"No, I never did" I sighed " If he is like us then no harm will fall on him my their hands" I assured him hoping he would miss the way I said it, a vain hope.

"But he will be someone's" again it was not a question.

"Yes, Isabella's" my face grim and I turned away from him. He grabbed my arm to turn me back facing him.

"It is true?" he asked. I nodded. "but it is not the way we told you. WE are not allowed to speak of this. She is the only one who could destroy him if he is truly becoming one of us, and she will only because he will attempted to kill me" I said with sadness in my voice.

"Edward would not" he said sternly.

"Carlisle as much as you believe in your son this is certain. Once I see it then it is certain, nothing I see changes. Hera passed her gift to me, I see the certain future" I told him "there is no stopping this.""If we tell him.." he began.

"No, he must never know! Things must go the way it is meant, only then can the world stay in balance. I will not be lost forever. I will return, all will be well" I said seeming to try to convince him when I was trying to convince myself. There was not way to know that this would not be my final death.

They four of us stand outside the Hall of Olympus, I could see Isabella stare at Edward as he shivered. It was understandable to be afraid. Reading my thoughts Poseidon held me closer to him, You will be fine he thought. No I wont I thought. He sighed, he was the only God you have never believe Hera's visions had been permanent, that he future was never set in stone. I wish I could believe the way he does, but I am more practical than he is. I kissed his cheek before walking to Edward and taking his hand. I squeezed it gently, "it is time." My love held our daughter as I took her beloved to face what could be impending doom. As we reached the doors I could feel the presence of others on the other side. I locked my eyes with his, "you must believe everything will be fine of they will know something is up. Act like you belong" I told him. He nodded. I opened to doors, taking his hand again hand walked in.

I let go of Edward's hand when I saw him, Zeus. "Zeus, you have returned" I explained. Then he locked his gaze to mine, and smiled. "Aphrodite, you beauty is something I have missed" he replied "Poseidon brother, it has been too long" he said taking his brother in his arms. Only then did I realize no one was trying to kill us. I turned to look at Edward is was glowing, glowing brighter than even Zeus. Zeus seemed to notice that as well. "Who are the young ones?" he asked.

"Isabella our daughter and her other half Edward" Poseidon answered. Zeus seemed to be at a lost for words. "Did they take her long ago" he asked. I nodded "Yes, you remember that is good" I paused "I have spent my time here alone looking for her."

"I see, but this Edward. He is a God. I do not understand. He is not one of the Ancients" Zeus stated. I went up to Zeus placing my hands on either side of his face hoping that in seeing what I have seen he would understand. I replayed it all. From our first meeting at the school, too the night she became a God and the night he began the transformation. He quick intake of breath caught me off guard and I lost my place. "the Blood Moon" Zeus whispered.

"We are not to speak of this" said Apollo from behind him. "I had that rule and I can dismiss it" Zeus replied "this should not have been possible."

I saw the thoughts run through his head. "you knew this was possible! All those years ago when the others fell and wanted to return you said there was no way to return to the grace of the Gods! You lied." I yelled.

"I lied because in doing so we tie ours the one that returns. If they fall again, so would we. Now you daughter is bond to this one for eternity. If he shall fall so will she and there is not returning again for either" he stated.

It all made since now, that was how is was going to kill me. He would fall and so would she. Killing me slowly. I heard a growl, he heard my thoughts. "Edward . ." I began. But he stopped me. "You knew I would…" he sneered.

"It does not have to be that way" Zeus began but I cut in pushing Edward away.

"I have seen it" I whispered. Zeus nodded, "That does not make in certain. Hera saw you dieing giving birth to the child and yet here you are. Some things are not certain.
