BPOV
Alice ran in. "Bella?" she asked, absolute confusion and excitement on her face.
I exchanged a glance with Rose, who looked as panicked as I felt. "Hi Alice?" I said, but it came out like a question.
"Its really you?" she whispered, frozen in the doorway. I nodded. "Thank the gods!" she yelled and ran and pulled me in a hug.
"Human… Alice…." I gasped. She let me go quickly.
"Sorry. I just missed you. We have got to go tell Edward!" She said excited.
"NO!" I yelled at the same time as Rose.
"Why on earth not? He misses you… Wait, Rose, you knew that Izzy was Bella this whole time?" She looked at me with a hurt look in her eyes.
I threw up my hands in surrender. "I didn't tell her. She figured it out. For a child of Aphrodite, she is pretty smart." Rose glared at me and thunder rumbled in the distance. "Sorry," I muttered.
"Why didn't you tell me though? Why can't Edward know? Esme and Carlisle would love to see you and so would Emmett and Jasper."
"I didn't tell you because you weren't supposed to know that I was here. You guys left, and that was that. It doesn't matter. I really can't deal with sitting down and talking to Ed- him right now." I ended in a whisper. It still hurt to say his name.
"I don't get why though. He loves you. We only left to keep you safe and so that you could have a normal life."
"Yeah, I am sure he really loves me." I told her sarcastically. "And I will most certainly never have a normal life."
"Of course he loves you!" She exclaimed. "Why would you think otherwise?"
I gulped. I really did not want to tell this again. Thankfully, Rose saved me. "Edward lied about what he told us that he told her when we left, Ali." she sighed unnecessarily. Then she told Alice what Edward had told me. I cringed, hearing it.
"What?" Alice exclaimed. "Bella, that is definitely not true. He was not the same after we left Forks. None of us were. Emmett didn't joke. I didn't shop. Esme didn't talk to anyone. Carlisle worked constantly. Edward shut himself up in his room. Jasper couldn't be around anyone because of the sadness and his own guilt and Rose was even depressed." Rose stuck her tounge out at Alice at that comment.
"Jasper has absolutely no reason whatsoever to feel guilty! It isn't his fault that Edward doesn't love me!" I exclaimed, then threw my arms around my chest to keep the pieces in place from my broken heart. "I am sorry, Alice, but I don't think that I could take anymore heartbreak."
"He loves you, though I don't blame you at all, but I do hope you talk to him eventually. Can't the rest of the family at least know?" She begged with puppy dog eyes.
I glared at her. But I did want to tell them too. "I guess, Ali, but let me tell them. Now I need to go eat."
"Yes you do. You lost a lot of weight Bella," she told me.
"I know." I replied with a sigh.
"Izzy." Chiron called me over to him after breakfast. I went over. "This morning, you are going to be training Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, and Jasper in sword fighting, instead of practicing with the others. Okay?"
I nodded, surprising him. I am sure that he was expecting me to put up a fight about teaching Edward, but I was fine. Well, not fine, but with Alice and Rose there, I was sure I would be ok.
I led them all to the arena. No one else was in there. Alice, Jasper and Rose had their weapons from the day before. I looked at Emmett and Edward. "Do you guys have your weapons from yesterday?" I asked. They looked confused.
"We didn't get any weapons yesterday." Emmett said.
I gaped at them. "Clarisse seriously didn't give you weapons?" I asked exasperated. They shook their heads.
Grumbling about incompetent counselors, I led them to the place where I got the others' weapons yesterday. I got out a big spear for Emmett, but before I could hand it to him, he had already taken it from me and was slashing the air with it. Before he could hurt someone, I got my sword out and disarmed him in a quick move.
"What was that for?" he asked, disgruntled.
"Rule number one for sword fighting, Never slash around without knowing what you are doing." I glared at him.
"Fine." He huffed, while Alice and Rose giggled and Jasper smirked.
I went back to the box to get something for Edward. I found exactly what I was looking for, a sword that wasn't effected by heat. Edward was the son of the goddess of the hearth, he could send out fire through whatever sword he held, I was going to work with him and Alice on their powers later.
I held it out to him and he took it hesitantly.
I led them back to the arena and led them in a sword fighting lesson. Alice used a sword too, and I promised her lessons on the knife later, and Rose was going to join us too.
After an hour of work, I was tired, even though no one else was. I plopped down next to the cooler and grabbed a bottle of water. I opened it up and pored it over my head. The action surprised even the vampires, and I laughed at their reactions.
"Why did you just pore a bottle of ice cold water over your head?" Jasper asked. "It could make you sick!"
I snorted, "Yeah, because water is sooo going to hurt a daughter of Posiedon."
Alice laughed. "Awesome, so do we get like special powers because of our parents?"
I nodded. "Yeah, Carlisle obviously can heal, from being a son of Apollo, god of healing, Esme can make plants grow, Jasper is extremely smart and a good strategize, Rose is beautiful," Rosalie beamed at me, and I grinned at them. "Emmett was extremely strong before he was a vampire, which is probably why he is so strong now.
"As for Edward…. I am not sure. I am going to talk to your mom later to find out what I need to teach you, but I do know from stories that you can control fire." I grinned. "You probably have a bad temper too." He growled, and everyone else laughed.
"What about me?" Alice asked impatiently.
I grinned at her. "That is the easiest to answer since you can do the same things as me. You can control water. Never get wet. Breathe underwater. Talk in your head to Pegasi and horses, and, as Percy recently discovered," I said grinning at Percy who was walking up with Annabeth, holding her hand, "zebras." Percy glared at me. "You can cause earthquakes too, if you get mad enough. Of course there is always the exception that cause a volcano to erupt." I grinned at Percy again, and he tackled me.
I beat him and Annabeth hauled him up. "You just got beat by your little sister!" Emmett said, laughing. He blushed. Annabeth kissed him and said, "That's ok, I love you anyways."
"Come on Annabeth, I have a surprise." he told her.
I grinned. "Go have fun you too!" I said. I knew what the surprise was, he was going to ask Annabeth to marry him, but I wasn't going to ruin that for Percy. I may be his little sister, but I am not that mean. He was nervous. Too low for Percy to hear, I asked Jasper, "Could you give him a little confidence?" he nodded and Percy looked confident in seconds. "thanks." I whispered.
They left and Jasper asked. "Why did he need a confidence booster?"
I grinned. "Don't tell anyone." I started, looking at Alice, she pouted and stuck her tounge out. "Seriously, but he is about to propose to Annabeth." I smiled sadly. I wished Edward had wanted me, but I still wasn't sold on the idea that he actually loves me.
"Really?" she whispered in a shriek.
"Yeah, but he wants to keep it a secret." Alice pretended to lock her lips and throw out the key.
I rolled my eyes. "Like that would stop you."
Slowly, the others left until it was just Alice and Jasper and me left. I had decided I would tell Jasper first so he could stop feeling so guilty. Before when I was talking to them, I had almost forgotten that most of them didn't know who I was.
I took a deep breath to calm myself. "Jasper, I have something I need to talk to you about."
