chapter 10
PERCY'S P.O.V.
After we told the Cullen's, Bella, and Jacob, about who we are we decided to just hang out and get to know each other better. So we went inside the Cullen's house and walked to their living room, which looked like black mirrors all around us because you could see your own reflection whenever you went. Bella was the first one to break the ice among us.
"So… how'd you know about the Cullen's?" she said warily.
"Well they are too pale, they are gracious when they move, they have perfect complexions," I said. But they all looked confuse.
"We weren't exactly sure what kind of monsters you were…" I said carefully. "We just knew that you were. Plus Grover over here," I gesture towards him in my left. "Is a satyr and he can smell monsters and stuff." I finished and study everybody, they all looked like they understand better, which was a relieved.
"So do you have any power?... because from what I learned," everybody from my group rolled their eyes when Annabeth said 'learned', when is she never learning? Wait I know… when she is with me, which means most of the time lately but still she knows a lot. "Some of the vampires have some kind of power that they use to get their prey, err... No offence," she finished looking at Bella.
"You are right Annabeth some of us have some kind of power," said one of the Cullens. He had blond hair.
"Well?" Clarisse said, "aren't ya gonna tell us?" she demanded. We all nodded, despite that I thought the way she said it was kind of rude. I still wanted to know.
"I'm Carlisle," said the guy that looked like a super model, he had blond hair, average height, and a slim but defined body structure. "I don't have any powers, I'm a doctor-"
"YOU'RE A DOCTOR!" we all shouted, how can a vampire be a doctor? Wouldn't that be like… wrong? Does he suck his patients' blood? I kind would feel scare if he was my doctor, I think I would feel better if the Stoll's were my doctors ,then a vampire, at least they would not see me like I was a desert. They would only take my wallet and prank me and I could take that instead of a vampire sucking my blood though my throat using it like a straw.
"Yes, I'm a doctor; you see human blood doesn't affect me. At first it did, but I taught myself and I started to feed myself with animal's blood instead." He finished, we all stared at him in awed or some of us, like Grover, looked angry.
"You all feed from animals?" Thalia asked with distaste. All the Cullen's nodded.
"What kind of powers do you have then?" Nico said, trying to light up the mood, I interrupted them before they could speak.
"We still don't know some of your names," I pointed out to the blond chick, the bulky dude, and the other chick, who looked a lot nicer than the blond one. There were a lot of 'oh, yeah!' and 'that's right!'
"Well this is Esme," Carlisle said pointing to the woman, who looked a lot nicer than the blond one; she had brown hair, slim body, and average height. "She's my wife"
"Hello. Nice to meet you kids!" Esme said sweetly, we all said our hellos. "And I don't have any powers just like my husband." We nodded.
"I'm Jasper," said a guy that looked like he was suffering. He looked like he wanted to eat us. He was pale, like the others, blond hair, slim body, and he had a lot of scars; they all looked like half crescent moons and then I notice they were the shape of bites. Well that gotta hurt, I thought.
"And I have the powers to control emotions," he said, glancing at Clarisse.
"That's cool!" Nico said. We nodded.
"But for some reason I can't control Clarisse emotions," Jasper said frustration ringing in his voice. We all looked at Clarisse. I thought about it.
"Well maybe is because she is the daughter of the god of war," I said. My group gasped and looked stunted. I rolled my eyes, why they all have to think I'm stupid?
"What do you mean Percy?" Annabeth asked.
"Well," I started. "When I'm near Ares I feel like I can't control my emotions at all. I would feel all angry all of a sudden and I can't think straight. So I was thinking maybe Jasper can't control Clarisse's emotions because of that," I finished feeling pretty great. My friends looked shocked, Annabeth was grinning like crazy.
"I told you he wasn't stupid!" annabeth cried. I flash her a smile before I got what she said.
"Hey!" I cried my friends laughed.
"Well I think what Percy said is about just right. Good job Percy!" Annabeth congratulated me. Seriously was it too hard for them to think I can be smart? I thought.
"Well I guess that could be it," Jasper said. "Because I can feel your emotions." He finished.
"I guess I feel lucky, "Clarisse said smiling. "Cause while you punks get to be control by emotion. I won't be control ha-ha! That's wonderful." She said pretty pleased.
"That just sad," Nico said faking a tear. Clarisse smirked.
"I'm Emmet," said a bulky dude, with crop brown short hair. "And I'm the strongest one in here! And the cool one too." Emmet said while the others from his group smirked. We smiled at him, he looks cool enough. "Oh! And I don't have any powers," he finished.
"I'm Rosalie," the blond chick said, she was the prettiest of the entire group with long wavy blond hair, slim body and Barbie kind of like face. She reminded me of the Aphrodite's girls back at camp, because some of them think highly of themselves and Rosalie looked almost as them. "And I don't have any powers," she finished coldly glaring at Annabeth. I guess she resents her because Annabeth is more beautiful than she is. Annabeth just smiled at her. I wanted to laugh but I didn't.
"I'm Alice, and I have the power to see the future," Alice said.
"Wait, how can you have the power to see the future if we already have an oracle?" Grover asked. My group shake our head no. we also wanted to know.
"You have an oracle?" Alice asked a little hurt in her voice.
"Yeah, we do. She doesn't see the future. She can predict prophesies that affect the future," Annbeth said. Alice nodded.
"have you got any prophesies?" she asked. We all nodded.
"Yeah…" we all said in unision.
"So did it come true?" Alice asked again.
"Yeah. One of the most resent one was a month ago… it well in the end it turn out well though we lost a lot of friends in the process." Annabeth said, we all looked down remembering the fallen heroes.
"What do you mean?" Bella asked softly.
"There was a war; we called it the Battle of Manhattan. In the war we fought a lot of monsters, half-bloods, and titans-" Annabeth explained.
"What happen? We didn't hear of any battles. And what do you mean with the titans?" Edward asked.
"well I have to tell you from the very beginning so you would understand" Annabeth said. They agreed.
"a few decades ago Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades made a pact that they would never have any more children. Because there was this prophecy that said that one of the big 3 gods, those are what we called them, kids would either destroy or save Olympus. So the big 3 swear on the river Styx they wouldn't have any kids. But 24 years ago Zeus fell for a woman and out of that woman Thalia was born. When Hades heard about Thalia well… the river is pretty strict, Hades sent the most horrible monster out to hunt her. Thalia run away and she befriend… Luke, they run away togher and fought monsters in the way. Then I run away when I was 7, and I found Thalia and Luke and they took care of. Luke gives me a knife," Annabeth showed them the knife. "So I would protect myself. We fought monsters the whole time, when we found Grover he said he would take us to this place where we would be safe. So we followed him, but the whole time we were chased by monsters and when we were almost by our destination… Thalia sacrificed herself so we could be safe. Zeus took pity of her and he turned her into a pine tree." Annabeth said, the cullens looked at Thalia with sympathy.
"7 years after what had happen to Thalia, a new half-blood came. He was beat up pretty bad, when he stumble in the big house, he just finished destroying the … minotaur and he was crying calling for his mother. Because the Minotaur kidnapped her. The boys friend had save his best friend-"
"Ah-ham? I'm his best friend!" Nico and Thalia said at the same time, but Annabeth continuo like she wasn't interrupted.
"I nurse him back to health," Annabeth said wistfully.
"Who was the kid?" Bella asked.
"Percy woke up feeling miserable. To make the story short he was claimed by Poseidon, and was offered a quest to retrieve the lightning bolt of Zeus, since it was stolen and he was framed. He retrieved the bolt. A year later he went to the sea of monsters and retrieved the Golden Fleece with Clarisse, Grover and me. Then later that year I was kidnapped and so was Lady Artemis so Percy sneak out of camp so he can save me. He fought Atlas, hold the sky and save Lady Artemis too. His third year Percy, Grover, Tyson, Percy's Cyclops brother, and me went to the labyrinth, but we needed a clear sighted to be able to travel. So Rachel Elizabeth Dare guided us to the labyrinth and helps us prevent the destroy-meant of our camp. In his fourth year, well that was the hardest of all of us, he had a lot of emergency calls, everybody did. That year we learned about the great prophecy it was:
A half-blood of the eldest gods
shall reach sixteen against all odds
And see the world in endless sleep
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
A single choice shall end his days
Olympus to preserve or raze" Annabeth said. We all looked down
"what did that mean?" Alice asked.
"Percy was a half-blood child of Poseidon, one of the eldest gods.He hit his 16th birthday after the Battle of Manhattan, despite all his near death experiences.Morpheus (the god of dreams/sleep) put every mortal in Manhattan to sleep."The hero" does not refer to Percy, but to Luke, whose soul was reaped by my knife, cursed because of a broken promise.Percy's choice to give Luke the knife allowing Luke to kill himself and therefore killing Kronos ended his days.Olympus was preserved because Percy chose to give Luke my knife so that Luke could get rid of Kronos by slicing his Achilles spot.""Wow" Emmet commented we nodded.
"Okay! That's enough of all this and just so you know that prophecy happen a month ago! Now we should do something fun… like capture the flag! Yeah that's it we SHOUL play capture the flag vampires vs. demigods! Oh and Jacob we could play with you too but with you pack that would be awesome!" I said getting all exited at the thought. My friends all grinned at me and we waited for the Cullen's to answer. They agreed. We cheered and headed outside ready to beat the vampires!
