A/N: YAY so they're meeting the Cullens sooner than you think. Your thoughts, guys?
My Favorite Harvard FML Quote: OPRAH! MLIG
"Hold on tight, guys!" Nico instructed. "To Forks, Washington, here we come!"
Then the sudden blackness and the fact that something from the opposite direction is pulling me almost made me puke all over Percy who held my right hand. Thalia held my left.
We dropped to the familar grass of Forks and we looked up. A big white mansion was a road away from us. I stood up when Rachel and Annabeth did, then stared at Thalia who was already getting up. The guys seemed to be tired.
Nico was especially sleeping on the ground, his mouth wide open as he drooled.
"What the hell?" Thalia shook her head as she kicked him in the stomach.
He flinched and screamed. "Ow! What the fuck was that for?!"
"Nico! Manners, please!" Rachel snapped.
He rolled his eyes at her.
I stared at the mansion in front of me and caught a glimpse of Edward staring out of the window from the far end of the room. I smiled.
"Guys!" I exclaimed. "It's their house!"
"The vampires?" Annabeth asked.
I pulled her and Thalia along. "Let's go!"
I realized the door opened and I saw Alice walk out. She froze when she stared at me. "Bella?"
"Alice!" I said.
"Edward?" She called out. "She's here."
I heard someone dart down the stairs and to the outside. His copper-colored hair was in a mess, just as I like it. His golden eyes looked like they could tear up any moment.
I launched myself at him playfully. "Edward!" I shouted.
He caught me at that precise moment and I felt like I was back home. My lips crashed to his and I tugged onto his hair. My legs wrapped his waist like they weren't going to come off anytime soon. Our tongues touched and the kiss turned passionate and fiery. I could taste mint off his mouth.
We pulled away and I looked deep into his eyes. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," he replied. "Don't ever scare me like that."
"I didn't mean it." I told him. "I love you so much."
His satin fingers caressed my cheeks. "I love you more."
"So... this is your vampire boyfriend?"
Our little moment popped when Percy asked his question. Our heads snapped up and we stared at him. Edward's stare was out of curiosity. Mine was a steely glare.
Percy frowned. "What did I do?"
"Oh shut up, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth slapped the back of his head. "You ruined the whole romantic, sweet moment. Now we girls have to watch The Notebook for those moments."
"I'll watch too!" Nico stated and my attention diverted to him. "What?" He asked, shrugging.
"Bella... who are they?" Edward asked.
"My friends. They're also related to me too." I jumped off him and walked over to my friends' side. "This is Percy — son of Poseidon and my distant uncle." I introduced.
"Hey!" Percy snapped.
"Get over it, old man." I said.
"This is Annabeth — daughter of Athena and... well... since Lady Athena is pretty much the same generation as my mom, Annabeth's my cousin. This is Nico — son of Hades and my distant uncle. Thalia is the daughter of Zeus and my aunt. As for Rachel... she's fully mortal but she's the Oracle at our place."
Edward was stunned. "Oh... so these are all your demigod friends?"
"Uh... yeah." I awkwardly scratched my head.
"Hey — aren't you suppose to have red eyes?" Nico asked.
"I drink the blood of animals — not humans." Edward explained.
"Edward, shouldn't you be letting us in?" Thalia questioned.
"Uhm... right." He led us into the house as he held my fingers, rubbing circles on them.
He asked us to sit down when we reached a huge living room. "My family has gone hunting except for me & Alice." He said, sitting down with us.
"Where's Alice, then?" I asked.
"Here!" I heard Alice squeal. My ears almost popped, I think.
She appeared in the room as she looked like she was high from Pixie Stix. She hugged me and smiled. "I was about to go shopping just now, bit since you're here, why don't you too?"
"Alice, they just got here —"
Yes, Alice — Edward's right. We just got here. Shadow-traveling sucks. We're tired. Even Nico is sleeping on the couch.
Percy and Thalia laughed as they read my mind.
Alice's face fell. "Oh. Alright. We'll do it soon, then."
"Yup — we will!" I faked my enthusiasm and swinged my hooked arm. "You'll get over it soon!"
She left and I found Annabeth sleeping on the couch too. It was nighttime after all.
I yawned. "I–I think I'm just gonna..." I left my sentence, drifting off to sleep on the comfy red velvet couch.
