Today was the last day that the Cullen family was here. I didn't know what would happen after that, I really didn't understand what the point of this was anyway; the Cullens would be moving in a few years anyway. Oh well, right now I needed to track down the vampire running around New York.

I had been startled awake by pounding on the cabin door- I could hear it from upstairs- and within moments of me waking up Rin was running up the stairs to get me. "Three of the tree nymphs are dead," she screamed at me.

"What," I asked thinking that this was a dream, "how can they be dead?"

"They just are. The three were found by their normal place and the others are hidden around the camp scared to death." She sat down on my bed, "We don't know what killed them though."

"Let's just go see, "I got up from the bed and even though I was in my pajamas (which was just some flannel pants and a tank top) I walked down the stairs and out the door. WE found everyone gathered at the big house and we pushed our way through. "What's going on Chiron," I asked when we were in front of him.

"These three are dead and Juniper is in critical condition in the infirmary."

I knelt down by one of the bodies. They had obviously been stabbed in the chest, but what startled me was that they had been bitten on the neck and both wrists. The bite marks had stopped bleeding, but when I brought my scared wrist next to one of the marks they looked identical to each other.

"A vampire attack," I said in a breath. The Cullen family can't leave now because they are suspects of killing the nymphs. "I don't think that the Cullen family did it." I looked at Chiron's shocked face, which I didn't blame him for this, but he should have a little bit of confidence in me.

"Go get the vampires," Chiron said pointing to some Ares kids who ran off. The rest of the family were dismissed and forced to go back to their training. After that the family was coming, still escorted by the now armed Ares kids.

"What happened," Emmet asked seeing the bodies.

"There was a vampire attack," Chiron said now quiet angry.

I looked at each of the Cullen family; they all had their topaz eyes, so they couldn't have done it. "Chiron, how long ago did these killings take place?"

"Nico says that it happened about a half hour before they were found. About an hour."

"Then they didn't do it. Look at their eyes, they are all topaz. No one could go hunting and be back in an hour with different colored eyes. It's impossible."

"We are suspects," Esme asked. "We didn't do anything."

"They didn't do it Chiron, even Athena would say I'm right."

"Don't speak for the goddess Bella," Chiron lectured me.

"Fine," I said standing up and holding my hand out to him, "why don't we IM her and ask?"

Chiron pulled out a coin and gave it to me. "They are to be there when you do it," he motioned to the Cullen family then left.

With a sigh I told them all to follow me as I went the stables and used the hose to create a rainbow and IM my sister. She was in her library reading a large red book that was labeled The Odyssey.

"Lady Athena," I said waving to my sister with a smile. "How are you today?"

"Hello Bella," she said looking up from the book. "Hello to you Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Rosalie, Emmet, Alice and Jasper. It's nice to finally meet you."

All of the Cullen family looked confused, "This is Lady Athena, the goddess of Wisdom. Could we bother you for a moment?"

"Anything for my little sister," she said closing the book with a smile and walking to the other side of the table she was sitting at. "What's up?"

"You know about the three nymphs who were killed right?"

"Yes, I know, and now you are trying to prove your friends innocent of the crime."

"Are they at fault?"

"No, you can tell Chiron that. Oh, and Aphrodite wants to see you; something about a foolish mistake or something." She shook her head at this. "I will never get what that girl is thinking."

"Yeah, well, what are you going to do? She's Aphrodite, besides I think I know what she wants to talk about."

"That's a good thought. You are probably right, but right now I have to run because she's trying to find me and convince me to IM you so that you two can talk."

"So they are innocent?" I said remembering what I had IMed her in the first place.

"Yeah they were actually in your cabin when the nymphs were killed. Carlisle and Esme were talking about what they were going to do after this due to the new information they've learned; Emmet was planning a prank on Hermes' kids; Rosalie was looking through a fashion magazine; Alice and Jasper were talking about planning a hunting trip for next weekend; and- sorry Edward, but I just have to tell- and Edward was watching you sleep."

"What," I said more than confused.

"He was lying next to you on your bed and watching you sleep. He's done that every night that he's been there. Haven't you noticed?"

"Sorry that I was asleep," I said with a sigh. "Either way, see ya."

"Bye!" With that the IM vanished, and I started to head over to the training area.

"What was that," Edward questioned as I started to walk away.

"What was what," I asked over my shoulder as I stopped.

"I think he meant why you aren't freaking out," Alice said almost explaining.

"What do you mean? What is there to freak out about?"

"The fact Edward has been watching you sleep," Rosalie said

"He isn't hurting anyone," I said as I continued to walk. "So why would it bother me? Either way, I have to go do work now."

I went right to work training after that, but my mind was still on who attacked the nymph, and what other vampire knew about the camp besides the Cullens? They would have to be almost as old as Ancient Greece it's self. I was training until an hour before the Cullen family was to be taken back to their house, and I had to take them back.

"Do you guys know of any vampires that would be as old as Ancient Greece," I asked when we were sitting at some stop light. It was after sun set so there was little light in the sky which was favorable for the Cullen family.

"Why do you ask," Carlisle wondered aloud.

"They most likely know about the camp and could have done the attack."

"No one's that old here in America, and I doubt that there is." He was hiding something, so who was it?

"Okay, well thanks for the information. I'm sure we will figure out what happened to the nymphs. I'll see you all later most likely."

"Bye Bella," the all cried in unison. They all looked really sad, and Edward looked like he was dead. I brushed their looks away though and drove back to camp. When I got back I went to do Heather's and Rin's lessons with them for the week, which was sad but happy as we talked about the memories we all shared and would keep forever.

When the day came when they were to leave we stood crying at the gate with their bags packed and off to the side. I knew that they would have to leave, but I just couldn't let them go.

"Promise me you'll come and visit," I said between sobs.

"Always," The two said together between sobs as well. The two left shortly after that, but all I did when they left was cry, knowing that I now didn't have many friends that I could hang out with and train with. No one was my age anymore, and with that thought I sprinted away from the gate and back to my cabin where I cried myself to sleep and didn't wake up until the next morning.

Happy 4th of July!
