A/N: Hey dudes! Sorry for not updating in a hot minute. I don't really have an excuse, just that I didn't. =/ Anyways, update on my life because I know that's really why you are reading this story. I just finished my first year of college and did NOT lose any of my scholarships so I think that that is a pretty big success. But I have only been out for a week and I already miss my buddies. So to cope, I wrote another chapter of the story. You're welcome.

Percy Pov:

After I announce that my father was Poseidon, there is an all new round of shocked looks from the Cullen's and Bella. I sigh. They were fine one minute; they seemed to believe me just fine just a moment ago but now not so much.

"You don't believe me, do you?" I ask a bit dejectedly.

"Look Percy," Bella started to say slowly. "It's not that we don't believe you, it is just a lot to take in all at once."

The muscled Cullen nods his head in agreement with Bella's statement. "Yeah dude. It's one thing to believe that other monsters exist, I mean look at us," he gets some small glares at those words. "But it's different when you start talking about actual gods, you know?"

"I know," I say nodding. "I learned when I was twelve and trust me the way I found out was a lot more scarring than this simple explanation that's happening now." Bella quirked her eyebrow in question but I just shake my head. There is no way I am getting into Mrs. Dodds, Grover's donkey legs, and anything to do with Annabeth anytime soon, and especially not with virtual strangers.

Emmett starts to talk again during my silent conversation with myself and Bella. "Well maybe we could use something a little bit more scarring. I mean, I don't know about anybody else but I'm having a hard time believing any of this deity stuff."

I sit there in silence for a moment. "Well how scarring are we talking here? Large scale or small scale?"

Emmett smiles widely, "We're vampires dude. Go big or go home."

"Well okay then. Is there a creek or a pond close by?" Esme nods and responds that there is a medium sized river nearby, and I smiled widely.

"Get ready then dude." After I say that, we all walk out of the house and the Cullen's lead the way to the river. When we get there, I stare at the moving body of water and notice how much cleaner and pristine it is compared to the rivers in New York. Thinking about the dirty New York rivers reminds me of when I talked to the river god to help them clean the rivers. Of course, I can't blame them for being so ticked about the water, it was pretty rancid.

Emmett squats down and dips his left hand into the moving water and turns to me. "Okay I think we're ready now. Show us your wicked, godly moves." I smile a large smile and give him and the rest of the family two thumbs up. As I walk up to the water, I motion to all of them to move away from the water side. When everyone was about two yards away from the side, I walk a few steps into the water until I am knees deep in the river. I close my eyes and do my best to clear my mind and focus solely on the soft current pushing against my legs. I squat slightly until I can feel the water moving against my hands. When I feel as though I am focused enough and doing my best to not think about the vampires behind me, I raise my right hand, arm straight, at chest level, and picture a small rope of water coming up from the river, wrapping around my arm, up to my elbows. I smile softly and relax my tense body as I fell the cool water respond to my command and curl itself around my arm.

I open my eyes and turn to look at the Cullen's and Bella, the water still wrapped around my arm, and chuckle when I see their shocked faces. I raise my eyebrow in a way that I hoped conveyed 'I told you so'.

Emmett was the first to speak. "Dude, that is the most awesome thing that I have ever seen in my life!" I laugh loudly at his exuberance.

"So, I am guessing that you all believe me now," I say with smugness coating my every word. Bella nods her head in confirmation and the rest of the Cullen's follow her example and nod their heads as well.

"So, Percy," Carlisle Cullen says. "I have many questions for you if you would be so kind as to answer them." I hesitate slightly before nodding my head in consent. We all begin to make the trek back to the huge Cullen house, and no one asks me questions. In fact, the whole walk back from the river was made in relative silence, apart from the occasional soft whispering. It seems as if everyone was still processing what just happened at the river. This makes me think back to when I was first told that I was a demigod and the thought makes me cringe slightly. To be fair, I had just seen my mother almost being killed by a giant bull dude, so I think my reaction was pretty justified. Also, the Cullen's are vampires so they are already pretty open minded to the different things that exist in the world.

When we reach the house, everyone shuffles in and finds a seat in the large living room. Once everyone is settled, the tension returns as everyone turns to look at me with hundreds of questions seeming to hang in the air between us.

"Okay, I am ready for questions now," I say shifting nervously.

Carlisle starts, "I have been on this earth for over three hundred years and never once have I run across someone like you, how is that?"

"There is this thing called the mist that protects my world from the eyes of the mortals and vice versa. It makes it so that a huge, monstrous hellhound looks like a small, fluffy dog. Or if a demigod pulls out a sword, mortals might see some kid holding a baseball bat or a hockey stick or an umbrella. I guess since you guys were mortals before you were turned into vampire, you still technically count as mortals so the mist still affects you guys. But since you now know of my world, you will be able to look past the mist and see what is really there." After I finish my explanation, I pause and wait for another question.

"How many demigods are there?" This question came from Bella.

"Well there are the Greek demigods and the Roman demigods who are children of the god's Roman personality – don't ask me to explain that more, it's still confusing. The Greek's live in New York, which is also where the gods reside, and the Roman's live in San Francisco. At the Greek camp there are currently about two hundred demigods, but most are only there during the summer, only a few stay year round. But the Roman camp has about six hundred or more, this is because they have legacies of demigods instead of solely demigods like at the Greek camp."

The whole family continues to fire questions at me for about the next thirty minutes until the one question I didn't want to answer was asked. "So does this whole demigod thing have anything to do with why you moved to Forks?" My mind doesn't even register who asked the question before my body tenses and my hands clench into fists.

"Yes," I say simply. "It does."

The Cullen's, sensing that I didn't want to elaborate on this, changes the subject and continues with the questions about lighter topics, but I was no longer paying much attention to any of them. The question reminds me of Annabeth, which in turn reminds me of Leah, the beautiful, tribal girl from La Push. As soon as my mind turns to Leah, a soft tugging begins to make itself known in my chest. The urge to go and see Leah is almost overwhelming. I had not seen her or talked to her since the Bonfire and bonding session on the cliffs and the beach. I want to do it again.

"I'm really sorry," I say to the Cullen's, hoping my face shows that it is sincere. "But I kind of need to leave and go do some things." Bella begins to stand when I say this, but I gently press on her shoulders to have her sit again. "You don't need to come with me Bella, I can find my own way home." Bella begins to shake her head in protest, but I shoot her a look that prevented her from saying anything more on the subject. She sighed and said, "At least take my truck. I can have someone drive me home whenever I am ready to leave." Seeing the look in her eyes, I wisely choose to accept this compromise and took the keys that she had held out to me.

The drive to La Push was excruciating. I mean, Paul's Prius was not the best, but at least it went over sixty miles an hour, unlike Bella's truck. This was not the only thing that made the ride awful. Another reason is that I cannot figure out if I should tell Leah about me. On one hand, I just met the girl, so I don't really know her at all. But on the other hand, when I was with her, I felt as if I had known her for years; my gut was telling me that I could trust her, and if there was one thing that I learned from my years living as a demigod, it was to trust my gut. I just feel like I could trust Leah to keep my secret. Also, I feel like there is a possibility of a romance here, and when we both are ready for a relationship, I want her to know what it is she would be getting into before she made her decision.

It took me to when I finally reached La Push, to realize that I had no idea where to find Leah. When we were on the beach, I did not get her number, address, or even a dang email. I smack my palm to my forehead with a loud groan. I'm so stupid. I didn't even think about getting some way to contact this amazing girl when I had the chance and now I might be too late to do so.

I pull Bella's truck to the beach that the bonfire was held and look around. All I see is wet sand, rocks, and a bleak looking ocean. And my emotions right now have nothing to do with the fact that I just called my favorite thing in the world bleak, thank you very much. I sigh in defeat; well if I'm here I might as well have some ocean time. I toe off my tennis shoes and socks before running and jumping into the salty water. I swim away from the shore then let myself sink deeper into the ocean. I guess my emotions were pretty palpable because it took a whole thirty minutes before any of the sea creatures tried to talk to me or even approach me. But finally one little fish swims up to me timidly.

The little colorful fish looks at me with confusion in his eyes (though how a fish could look confused I'm not really sure). "Sea Prince, why are you in the water." Wow, never had a fish ask me that before, usually they're all pretty stoked when they see me in the water.

"Just relaxing little dude." I said in response to the fish. "Why?"

The fish blinks at me a few times before responding. "I do not mean to offend my Lord, but I just assumed that you would be with the ocean god since he just went to shore."

Now it was my turn to blink in surprise. My dad went to shore and didn't go straight to Olympus? Usually he just teleports from one place to another, he doesn't usually go on land first. And when he does its usually only to see me… What is he doing?

"Do you know where he went to shore?" I say hoping the fish understands what I mean.

"Yes my Lord." Says the little fish. I guess he did understand the question. "He went to where you entered the ocean."

Hmm… I guess my dad is waiting on me to come up out if the water, though, I do not know why he did not just come talk to me while I was in the ocean. I shrug my shoulders before thanking the brave little fish. I swim quickly back towards the shore line, to the spot where I stepped foot into the water. But when my head broke the surface, I was not prepared for what I saw.

I saw my dad.

But not only that.

I saw my dad talking to Leah.

A/N: You guys probably hate me for this cliffhanger but I literally could not resist. Like if I tried to resist, I think I would have had a serious brain aneurism, and then the story would never finish because I would be dead. So, I decided to preserve my life and leave a cliffhanger.

I love you guys, my faithful followers.
