A/N: Heylooooooo...

My Favorite Harvard FML Quote: The saddest part about graduating for me is losing free HBOGo. Too cheap for cable. FML

The worst part of being at Camp wasn't the shortened breaks or constant practicing — it was Edward's absence.

I've grown accustomed to him around me everyday, and I literally wasn't the same person everyone at Camp knew. Now I was the grouchy, bitchy side of me.

Aphrodite even knew that, and Grandfather too.

"Bella," Aphrodite started. "Maybe you should take a day off to see Edward."

I shook my head. "I have to get ready. People are counting on me and I can't let them down. Just... after the war, then I'll be back in Forks."

"I'm your mother, Bella, and if you don't listen to me, I'll make you sick on the day of the war." She sternly replied.

"No!" I exclaimed angrily. "I said I'll see him after the war, Mother. I promise you — I will."

She sighed. "But Bella —"

"Please," I pleaded with my eyes.

She gave up. "Since you're preparing for war, may I show you some things that you can do with my powers? I promise it'll be useful."

I nodded.

"Let's talk about features. You remember Silena, yes?" She asked and I nodded again in reply. "She was one of my favorites. Even though she betrayed Camp, she tried to stay true to all of you. One thing that she constantly does is change her features.

"When you change features, your enemies don't really know if it's really you. The only thing that gives it away is your voice."

She paced back and forth and her face showed no emotion when she mentioned Silena. She stopped and snapped her fingers. "Concentrate on a face you wish to have."

I complied and thought of one.

"Concentrating, yes? Good. Now you're changing your features. Take a look in the mirror." She instructed.

I took one good look in the the long mirror which was my full height and found someone else in the same clothes I wore. I couldn't find myself.

The regal beauty had jet black hair tied up in a ponytail with wisps of dark red at her loose locks. She had full lips and a cute button nose. Her eyes were two separate distinct colors — dark green on her left, dark blue on her right. Her flawless pale skin was perhaps the only thing that looked like me.

"Well done, Bella!" She exclaimed. Well, that wasn't a teeny bit hard, wasn't it?"

"Uh..."

"Never mind — don't reply. I don't really want to hear it." She put her hand up to silence me. "The next thing you can do with your powers is that you can control the degree of love, lust, hate, jealousy, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

"For this one... let's call in a guy." She said, walking out of the woods and returning in seconds with a newbie from Camp. He followed stiffly behind her as she approached me. "Now, Aiden, stand here. I want you to attack Bella."

He nodded. "Of course, my lady." Aiden then stood with a sword in hand. He ran towards me in a strikingly fast speed and I concentrated, radiating love from myself. He then stopped, dropping to his knees and his sword fell to the ground.

Aphrodite clapped excitedly. "Well done, Bella!" She smiled at me. "You made him fall for you! That's another useful skill, you know. As a guy would do anything for his girl, you can basically make them betray their own group!"

She dismissed Aiden and got him out of the spell I casted. "I guess you've learned the basics now. How about a trip to Forks tomorrow?"

"Mother —"

"It's settled, then." She interrupted. "Tomorrow."

Dinner was next, and instead of sitting with our own cabins, everyone sat with their own groups.

As per usual, I sat with Percy, Annabeth, Rachel, Thalia & Nico. They were chatting up a storm and it was the noisiest they've ever been.

They stared at me for five seconds until I snapped. "What do you want?"

Percy tore off a piece of meat from his chicken drumstick. "What is up with you? You've been grumpy these few days!"

"It's nothing!"

"Liar."

"Am not!"

"Liar!"

"Am not!"

"Guys!" Thalia shouted in her lieutenant tone. "Just shut up!"

Percy & I grew quiet.

"Bella, what really happened?" Annabeth looked worried.

I clanked the knife softly on the ceramic plate. "Aphrodite told me to go back to Forks for a day tomorrow."

"And why exactly...?" Nico asked.

"She has a vampire boyfriend back at home waiting for her," Percy replied for me.

Everyone at the table gasped.

"What?!" I growled. "It's not my fault!"

"We're following you tomorrow," Rachel declared in her creepy Oracle voice. "I know your outcome, so it's best if you do not fight my decision."

"Rachel!" I shouted.

She blinked a few times. "W–what?"

"It's settled then! We're going to Forks!" Nico stated. "How are we getting there? If we're shadow-traveling there, get ready with your money, people! I'm gonna be quite hungry... and tired."

"Speaking of that, where are we going to crash?" Percy asked.

"We can crash at the vampires' house. I'm pretty sure they'll allow us to do that since Bella's one of them." Annabeth replied. "They don't mind, right?"

"I... I'm not sure," I sighed. "But I think they'll let us."

"Okay everyone," Thalia said, "pack your bags after dinner. We're going sooner."
