Chapter 11: Introductions
Bella's POV
The whole camp trudged up the hill to meet the Cullens' at Thalia's tree. They all got out of the car, and I had to hold in a gasp; they didn't change at all, which I expected , with the whole no-aging thing, but it still was a shock seeing them all again.
I worked at keeping my face neutral when Edward got out of the car. He looked just as he had when I last saw him, but he seemed different almost. Almost like he had to life drained out of him. My eyebrows furrowed in worry momentarily, before I caught myself, and smoothed my facial expression to go blank. I internally chastised myself, stupid Bella! He left you, he doesn't care about you, why should you care about him, you Idiot girl!
"Campers! These are the Cullens, they have come to help us defend camp, and in the most dire situations, fight with us. Carlisle, care to introduce your family?" Chiron announced.
"Of course. This is my wife Esme, my sons Emmett, Jasper, and Edward, and my daughters Rosalie and Alice. We are glad to be able to assist you in this war." Carlisle, as polite as ever.
"Thank you Carlisle. Now, is there anyone who would like to show the Cullens the usual tour and to their cabin?" Chiron asked. Most people raised their hands, after all, the Cullens were fairly attractive, but I stood up and said, "I'll do it."
Chiron rose and eyebrow, but said, "Very well Iz. Now, everyone back to your usual activities."
I waited for most of the people to leave, then motioned the Cullens' to follow me. I explained to them about the cabins, and their god that they stood for, and gave them a tour of the beach, amphitheater, dining hall (A.N I forget, is that what it is called? Ah well, I will check later, and use the correct term in future chapters!), and finally directed them to their cabin.
"Now, any questions?" I asked.
" If you don't mind, may I ask how many years you have gone here?" Carlisle asked.
I smiled and said, " I have been going to camp ever since I was 10, this place is home to me. Now, if don't have any more questions, I will leave you to look around if you like. Dinner is a 6:30."
The Cullens just smiled in thanks, and I walked away, but not before I heard Emmett mumble, 'Now why does she seem familiar to me?'
I bit back a smile and continued on, more thankful for my cabin mates then I have ever been in my life.
Edward's POV
I put my things on my bed, and excused myself; I was starting to get annoyed by their worried glances, and just needed to go for a walk. I walked past the arena, and got a glimpse of our guide pinning a pale, dark haired boy to the ground with a laugh. I rolled my eyes at them, and reminded myself not to let myself get to cocky and underestimate the people here, especially her.
I walked by the cabins and sat down on a hill that overlooked the ocean, and thought of Forks, and her. A stab of pain hit me straight in the chest, and I cursed my inability to cry. I picked up a stone, and lunged out in to the water before me, creating a huge splash.
" Whoa there, Superman, what did the ocean do to you?" The pale boy from before said, sitting down next to me. I smiled weakly.
"I am Nico, son of Hades. You?" Nico said.
" Edward, and that's a little hard to believe. How can a son of Hades, one of the most powerful gods, get pinned down in 5 seconds by a girl that is clearly a daughter of Aphrodite?" I asked, playfully.
Nico grimaced. "Yeah, it can be hard not to underestimate Iz, she defiantly doesn't look like a warrior worthy of Ares, but I guess that is part of her charm."
"Yeah, she seems nice enough." I said, hoping to learn more about the girl.
Nico smirked knowingly at me, " I would watch out if I were you. She has caught many hearts, at camp alone. But she has been hurt once, and has several protectors, myself being one of them."
I raised my hands in defeat, and laughed, "You don't have to worry about me, I am getting over someone else, she is all yours."
Nico's cheeks reddened, and started, "I do not-" only to get interrupted by the conch horn. I just laughed and waved, and I started toward to dining hall. I shocked my family when I appeared with a smile on my face. I rolled my eyes at them asking if I had a fever.
Nico's POV
I walked out of the dining hall and met up with Bella, who was by the water, skipping stones.
"Hey," She said with a smile. I smiled back and said, " So I talked to Eddie earlier, he seems human enough." She just rolled her eyes, and said nothing.
"Are you sure you are ok with them being here?" I asked.
"Honestly? It still hurts a little just seeing them all here. I am scared that this will turn into Forks again. But I can't be selfish and ask Chiron to have them leave, what if we have another attack, and someone gets hurt or worse, killed, and it is all my fault?" She said, finally stopped skipping rocks, and looked at me with tear-filled eyes. I walked up to her and hugged her, and hushed her, calming her down.
"Hey, it will be alright." And when she calmed down and stopped crying, I said, "You know, I think he might be as sad as you. When I talked to him, he looked as if he was about to cry and said that he was getting over a girl."
She just rolled her eyes and said, "You are absurd." And with that, she left and went to her cabin.
Hmm, I quite liked this one ;)
