Percy's POV

It was 15 days when suddenly, a coven showed up. Apparently, they were the Denalis and heard about the Volturi's next mission. Us, meaning the Big Three's children explained everything. Then Nessie showed the details. Even after, they insisted on helping, sort of the opposite of my family but my family was the opposite by a lot of reasons. Tanya, Kate, Garret, Carmen and Eleazer all fought the skeletons, though some were scared at first. Apparently, they've never fought newborns before.

"So do you guys have any powers?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Only Kate and Eleazer," Tanya replied, smiling like I was in for something…unpleasant. She motioned them to show.

"Well, I can detect if you have a power. Human or vampire, apparently not demi-god," Eleazer explained.

"Mine is kind of like Jane's but it's like an electric shock. If I want, it can radiant all over my body," Kate smiled, evilly playful.

Did she seriously think that it would hurt? I've been struck by lightning before, and a warm thank you to…Thalia Grace! Thalia, who was standing next to me smirked, guessing my thoughts. Annabeth, Nico and Grover caught on. Edward and Bella were looking at us with frustration. Looks like someone's not use to not being able to hear.

"Can you try it on me?" I turned to Kate.

She looked a little surprised but nodded. "Ready?"

I nodded and she took her finger and touched my arm. It stung like crazy of course. I have to admit, that was close to Thalia.

Kate looked at me with surprise. "That was my hardest," she pouted.

"Kate!" Carmen scolded but then just sighed and left for Eleazer who was talking to Chiron.

It was sad seeing her unhappily. "If it helps, it stung like crazy but when you're friends with Pinecone Face and supposedly her worst enemy, you get shock by lightning."

"Hey! You asked for it during capture the flag Seaweed Brain. Plus, I won," Thalia grinned.

"You didn't win, the Oracle came down. What was I suppose to do? Give it a shower?" I defended myself. In the corner of my eye, I saw Annabeth giggling, remember.

"See, Annabeth remembers. I would've won if it wasn't for the Oracle. Plus, I was at my home turf."

"You wanna see?" Thalia sneered.

It looked like Bella was sort of…happy. Like she expected this or wanted it. I wasn't paying attention and suddenly lightning struck, right in front of me, searing my shirt. The only good news was that it left a 3 feet wide hole. I filled it with water and instantly felt better. My second act was to punish Thalia. I chucked a 4 feet wave at her, drowning her in. She yelled for lightning again, this time, it hit me. Thalia wasn't as stupid as I thought. I whirled all the water together and made my own personal hurricane, like when I fought Hyperion. The wind was already knocking down everything. I threw it at Thalia but she blocked it, letting the lightning go under me and broke the hurricane. I was trying to make another one but Thalia was ahead of me, beginning to yell for lightning when Esme suddenly came out.

"Oh my!" her snow white hand flew to her mouth as she left her house.

"I'm so sorry Esme! If it weren't for Thalia, everything would be fine. I'll get someone from Demeter's cabin to fix everything. As for the tents, Hermes's can ask their dad."

"It's not my fault Seaweed Brain!" Thalia was going to say more when Edward interrupted her.

"I'll tell Esme, you guys can go get help."

As Thalia and I ran, I shouted insults at her.

"Lightning Lady!"

"Water Weirdo!"

"Adolescent!" (cuz shes immortal…young…)

I had the feeling that if we weren't sort of joking, Thalia would yell again.

"Hey Katie, Conner, Travis. We need, uh…help," I explained.

"It was capture the flag-down all over again, man!" Grover shouted as he ran in. "Oh, uh, hey Percy, Thalia. I healed the trees…sort of," Grover started trotting backwards as the campers who were there that time started muttering.

"Wish I saw that…"

"…funny last time…"

"What was it about?"

I dragged them outside.

"So…what do you need us for?" Conner sat down and spread his legs out.

"Two tents…unless you want the Hecate and Ares cabin to sleep under the stars.

Conner and Travis quickly called their dad. The last thing you need is an angry kid of Ares or Hecate.

I used a little water to sort of heal the dry plants. When I looked up, two new tents were in place.

"Hey Bella, can I ask you a question?" I asked Bella who was lying on a hammock with Edward, who was whispering stuff to her, causing her to giggle. Ughh. Larry Peters from Demeter put them up everywhere for relaxing.

"I guess. Question for trade though?" She sat up. Edward smiled lovingly at her, as if remembering something pleasant.

I shrugged. "'Kay, you looked kind of happy, maybe expectant when Thalia and I were fighting…sort of. So…why?"

"You won't hurt me right?" Bella looked at me while Edward stiffened.

"Uh, no. Why? Is it bad?" I asked uncertainly.

"Not really. Anyway…when you guys talk, you say it all casually. Then…when you guys curse or your powers, there all really interesting, um, sort of amusing. Then when you, Thalia, or Nico fight, I don't know how to explain it. It's not funny funny, but like interesting. Like, I guess…casual. It's entertaining," Bella tried to explain.

"I get it, but if you want me to explain, I can't either. So what's your question?"

"How's capture the flag?"

"Well, we split the campers, like a few cabins each team. Then basically, you just try to get the other flag and cross the boundary, which is the creek at camp. All magic weapons are okay so it gets messy but there's always consequences, like washing the dishes with the harpies who use lava…" I trailed off.

"Do you think after the fight, we can see that?" Edward questioned.

"I'm okay with it. Your parents have to be. Chiron has to be okay with it and we have to win," I replied.

They nodded. "Well, I'm going to go apologize Esme again." I ran towards the house.

The next couple of weeks everyone trained hard. Apollo's cabin taught archery. Hestia's cabin worked on their powers. Rosalei and her sister Leila helped Rosalie with her powers. Ares taught wrestling. Emmett was in that class a lot. Athena's cabin taught strategy and Jasper helped. Hephaestus's cabin made the weapons. The Denali clan helped, learned and watched with amusement.

A week before the real fight, Nico called up some skeletons and we practiced against them. He even called up some hellhounds. Mostly the campers fought them but sometimes the vampires used them to gain control of the sword.

"We got to find a god to shield the vampires. Everyone pray. Tell them if they say yes to drop by or something," I talked into the microphone. Every Tuesday, we had these meetings since they were suppose to come on a Saturday. Thalia, Annabeth and I confused the teachers about school so we had more time to work. (probably shouldn't go here)

Before anyone closed their eyes, Aphrodite shimmered in.

"Lady Aphrodite," we all bowed, though the Denali didn't exactly bow with respect.

She turned to the Denalis. "That would usually respond with a curse but I must say, you guys are beautiful. Believe in love and it will strengthen you." I saw an arrow shoot through the sky. She glanced up and replied, "Ah, Artemis. We should just settle our difference and become friends. Agree? Don't answer that right now. I've been called. Meet you at Olympus."

"Permission to hug mother?" Rosalei grinned.

"Of course darlings. Come over," Aphrodite welcomed them into her arms. Rosalei pushed Rosalie forward.

"Okay, now for my idea," Aphrodite snapped her fingers and a comfortable chair hit the ground. She sat down and with another snap, a nymph fanned her and another one had a cup of nector.

Bella's POV

Aphrodite appeared with a pink glow.

"Lady Aphrodite," I bowed, despite how much I didn't want to. The last thing I needed was to be the goddess of love's bad side. I hope she couldn't get rid of love. I couldn't imagine not seeing Edward everyday.

Apparently, the Denalis' showed me what happened if you didn't.

"That would usually respond with a curse but I must say, you guys are beautiful. Believe in love and it will strengthen you," Aphrodite said in a dreamy voice. Great, I was hit too. I glanced at Edward who was staring at Aphrodite. I sighed a little and he turned to me with a very sincere apology in his eyes. He was doing better than Jasper though.

I smiled, forgiving him…sort of. I looked to my left and saw Alice who was glaring at Jasper.

A silver arrow shot through the sky. I bet my family that was Artemis. This whole Greek myth sort of thing was rubbing off on me.

"Ah, Artemis," Oh, thank the gods-oh uh. "We should just settle our difference and become friends. Agree? Don't answer that right now. I've been called. Meet you at Olympus," Aphrodite called to the sky, which would look kind of weird if you didn't know what was going on.

I glanced at Nessie who seemed unhappy with Aphrodite. I couldn't blame her.

"Permission to hug mother?" Rosalei grinned. It seemed that Rosalei was the child after Rosalie. Aphrodite put her in the Lotus Hotel, whatever that is so her natural beauty will surprise the world or something. Weird.

"Of course darlings, come over," she spread out her arms and Rosalie reached her first, partly because she was pushed.

"Okay, now for my idea," Aphrodite snapped and got all comfy.

After Misty got hurt, we found out about nector and ambrosia, food for the gods. Carlisle suddenly had an idea and asked if we could try some. He tried first and since he didn't burn into bits, it was ok. I had to admit, it was good, unlike regular human food.

Suddenly, Aphrodite's eyes landed on Edward, Jasper, and Jacob. I swear, they started swaying. Suddenly, jealousy flooded me like never before.

"Oh!" Aphrodite flinched slightly. "I sense jealousy. Do not worry. I won't hurt your love though. It is way, way too strong. It relaxes me. How about I change my appearance. How's this?" Aphrodite stared off into space as she changes probably not wanting to give us away. I didn't see anything but Edward, Jasper, and Jacob flinched, and then turned to us with the most sincere, kindest apology you can show with your eyes.

We forgave them and I started to like Aphrodite. Guess all you have to do was get on all their good side. Sort of like Thalia and Percy…kind of.

"Anyway, my plan. We will have one vampire and 2 demi-gods guard Bella. As long as you're focusing on your shield, it will cover all your loved ones. Once you totally forget, they will not be shielded. Let me warn you though. Your loved ones should not all be shielded though. Either all or nothing," with that, Aphrodite shimmered like a hologram and disappeared.

Jasper must have felt my alarm since he cringed.

"Why can't she give a straight answer?" Alice asked.

"Like we said before, they can't help their children. Technically, they can't help us then," Leila stuck up for her mom but I could see the disappointment in her eyes.

Suddenly, a sea breeze blew and a tanned guy with a t-shirt and Bermuda shorts stood next to Percy.

"Lord Poseidon," everyone bowed, though Thalia and Annabeth looked like they didn't want to. I wonder why. I can't believe this was the god of sea. I felt a little jealous, wishing my mom or dad was part of the Greek myths.

"Can't help but I can wish good luck," he smiled to everyone but his eyes landed on Percy.

"Hey dad. Are you here to deliver a message?" Percy asked hopefully.

Poseidon smiled warmly. "Ah, no son I'm sorry. Just here for luck."

"All the gods can wish me good luck as many times as they want. I'm not gonna get any," he muttered.

"Don't worry Percy. The only stopping you guys is Bella, not in the way you think though. Zeus loosened up the rules. I can tell you what Aphrodite meant. But you have to really believe. Siobhan didn't believe her power so when Aro met her, he asked her to prove it didn't exist by telling her she wanted to join the Volturi…" Poseidon started. I, and the rest of my family and the Denalis gasped. "…so apparently, she does have the power and Aro tricked her into thinking the Volturi were good by spoiling and letting Liam and Maggie join too. I guess Nessie loved Siobhan so then Bella loves them. Weird, I'd say but that's not my turf. Great, now I'm going to get it when I go back to Olympus. I could go to my palace," he mused, then shook his head, as if trying to get back on task. "Anyways, if you want to know how that works, call for Aphrodite…" This was one of those times when it felt…nice; just talking about each other casually. "…But Bella, I will help you because I don't think Percy, Nico and uh…Thalia…" Thunder roared. "…need to suffer more. Focus on the ocean and don't use Aphrodite's gift. Do regular shielding and focus on water. It may help if you were wet. Then I, or one of my helpers will guide the shield, but you have to be able to sort of control it. You have to believe in water though. Basically, pretend your shield is water. It should be pretty easy for you…" he said it like a double meaning. "Oh, and Aphrodite is the goddess of love and she hates it when she doesn't get her way. Hate to end on a riddle but I have to. Good luck everyone. You'll do great. Focus on your strong point." With that, Poseidon melted, leaving a sea breeze.

"I spent centuries trying to convince Siobhan," Carlisle sighed.

"Don't worry. The Oracle's never wrong. It's not your fault," Jacob sort of quoted Annabeth.

"It may help if I help Bella," Percy suggested.

"That's great. Where should we work?" I questioned.

Percy turned to Thalia who yelled. Suddenly, lightning struck and there was a 5 feet wide, 5 feet deep ditch that we could work in.

"Work fast Percy. You have until Monday," Chiron reminded and then turned to talk to Carlisle.

I followed Percy with Edward behind me.

Percy turned around and saw Edward. "Perfect. I can find ways to see if it's working then."

"This is basically what we want to do. If you believe in water really hard, you can sort of control it. It will be harder though, since Poseidon isn't your dad. Controlling water doesn't always mean you can see it though. What I think my dad wants you to do is let your imaginary water flow and touch the ones you want to protect, but make sure it doesn't touch others. Of course, you don't have to worry about us. We've fought Kronos and the new kids have training in the real world. Plus, our parent guides us. Anyways, we'll need to practice small stuff. I want you to concentrate on the water. Pretend that's you swirling and swaying. Then pretend you jumped up and splash Edward. Not too much though," Percy explained.

I was concentrating on what he was saying and suddenly, there was a mini wave.

"Way to go!" Percy and Edward yelled with encouragement.

"Now, see if you can go farther. Swaying, swirling, swaying, swirling, jump!" Percy instructed.

I opened my eyes, not realizing they were closed and noticed Edward was all wet.

"Great, wonderful," they both praised.

"I'm not a dog," I muttered and thankfully…or not, they both heard and chuckled.

"Now, try it on your own," Percy took a step back.

Swaying, swirling, swaying, swirling, swaying, swirling, jump!

The water did the wave again.

"I think I have to hear your voice," I admitted to Percy.

He had a thoughtful look on his face. "Try going in the water. Go under."

I jumped in and went under. I thought the same things and came up. Edward was soaked but Percy was dry, despite the puddle around him.

Percy nodded, impressed. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you'd be my half sister," he joked. "Now try it on land."

I came out and Percy closed his eyes. Suddenly, I was dry. "Thanks," I smiled and then closed my eyes.

I heard a splash and saw Edward all wet again.

"Perfect. We'll be done by tomorrow. I think we should try the practice battle again on Thursday," Percy looked happy.

Edward wrapped his arms around my waist. "You're a natural, love."

"Why don't you go rest? Ask Chiron if you should have nector and ambrosia. It may help," Percy noticed. In the reflection, I was paler than usual.

Percy jumped in and then came out, looking stronger and more refresh than before and followed Edward and I to Chiron.

"Percy?" we turned around and saw a middle-aged guy in a casual outfit in an Iris-message.

"Oh, hey Paul," Percy greeted. "This is Edward and Bella Cullens. They were…the one."

Paul nodded, then mouthed, sorry.

"Percy?! What is going on?" A 40ish lady wearing a blue sundress came into the Iris-message.

"Mom?" Percy gasped.

From what I learned from other campers, some of their parents didn't really care. Percy's mom looked really nice.

I think that was his step-dad, why does he know? I lifted my shield. Edward just shrugged.

"Um…well we',"Percy took a deep breath.

"But you could die! They have super speed and everything!" Percy's mom screamed into the IM. Edward and I smiled just a little. What about the diet? Anything else…

"I won't die mom. Dad'll make sure. Plus we got like 100 campers. It'll be 5 to 1, sort of, I think. If we are losing, Nico will call up skeletons. I really doubt we'll lose. It's just up to Rosalie and maybe Bella but she's doing fine," he sighed.

"I see you're busy then," Mrs. Jackson calmed down when she heard his dad was watching. "Can I talk to Grover or Chiron?"

Percy nodded. "Chiron!"

Chiron, in full horse form galloped towards us with Carlisle showing up milliseconds after. "Ah, hello Ms. Jackson, Mr. Blofis. How may I help?"

Percy left them talking about the prophecy and everything. As we were walking towards the Apollo cabin, which had the medicine materials, I asked my questions.

"I have a few questions…" I started. He nodded for me to go on. "Well, what's the Lotus Hotel?"

"Well, when Annabeth, Grover and I went to get the Lightning Bolt, we stayed in a hotel that apparently slows down time. That's also where Nico and his sister Bianca stayed after their mother died. And Rosalei…" Percy replied.

"Okay, why don't Thalia and Annabeth like Poseidon?"

Percy chuckled a little and then answered. "Zeus and Poseidon are sort of enemies. Basically, they don't like each other. Since Zeus thinks my dad's going to steal his place or something…" he snorted and thunder rumbled. "Athena and Poseidon aren't exactly friends either. For one, Athena caught Poseidon in her temple with his girlfriend, Medusa. Athena changed her into what she is now…" Percy let that sunk in for a few seconds, then continued. "Well, there's also the Athens story about the olive tree and sea water." He started mumbling about pizza for some reason.

"That's interesting. And, who's Paul Blofis?"

"Oh, that's my step-dad. You can't really keep a secret then so… We told him in the fall but I don't think he believed us until Mrs. O'Leary, this nice hellhound, showed up in the apartment and you know the rest…" Percy trailed off.

Edward and I nodded as we reached the Apollo tent.

"Hey Steve. A chunk of ambrosia please," Percy said to the guy in charge of medicine for now.

Steve looked in a box and handed Percy a square.

"Not bad, sort of like lasagna," I stated after swallowing. I instantly felt stronger, like I could take on the Volturi guard, well, maybe half.

Percy nodded, "Oh, one more thing. After the fight, you won't be able to control water anymore. The most you can do are splashes, unless you make friends with some nerieds or naiads, I think."

"Okay. So, should we get to work?"

"Um, Edward can help you with what you learned so far. I have sword work to do. Sorry, but you're doing great!" Percy called, running towards the lessons.

"So…what's Nessie doing?" I turned to Edward as we sat down on the hammock.

"Playing with Daisy," Edward replied, closing his eyes and sighing in content as I rested my head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist.

Hebe was the goddess of youth. All her kids were aging but they looked forever 15, without the mist.

Edward seemed relaxed. There was a puddle about a yard away. I concentrated and suddenly, Edward was soaking wet. I giggled at the surprised look on his face.

"You wanna go practice, my sweetheart?" Edward turned to me and smiled a dazzling smile.

"Sure. La Push?" I glanced at Edward.

"Let's ask Jacob," Edward jumped up, pulling me.

"Hey Jacob." We found him talking to Carly, trying to get her to make a loaf of bread. I giggled and then asked, "Can we go to La Push? I wanna practice."

"Sure."

Percy was near and a puddle conveniently appeared.

"Hey!" Jacob wiped his face which was soaked with water.

"It's working," I smiled innocently and dashed off with Edward behind, laughing.

"You're gonna let a girl beat you?" Jacob taunted.

"If it's my girl, I don't care," Edward shot back.

Aro's POV

I felt bad for taking revenge on friend Carlisle. I mean, he was good, but no one makes me look weak.

I strolled to the changing room where 23 ladies and 37 men were changing. One of them was done and Helen was telling her everything, after taking away thirst of course.

"That is Aro," Helen pointed towards me and the girl bowed. I smiled and told her to rise.

"About a day master, and then we may leave. Felix got a private jet that holds 60. We outnumber the Cullens by about 50 if they get back up. We are sure to win. Only, the jet takes 4 days, but it will be worth the wait," Helen had the evil grin I loved so much.

The newborns started waking up and Helen started her job.

Four days to get to only Forks? Well, Helen was right; it will be worth the wait.

thts it! thx 4 readn!
