Percy's POV
The next day was Wednesday. I called another meeting before I worked with Edward.
"We have stuff to discuss. Who's going to protect Bella? I need a few really ready people to come and work with Bella," I ended.
"Um, I'll guard. It'll help too," Ben Reed spoke up.
"I will too. I won't fight though," Nico told me.
"Perfect, Hestia. Maybe someone from Apollo now," I stated.
"I'll do it. Now for the vampire," Aladia Frost spoke.
"Not me, I call Jane. She needs a taste of her own medicine," Kate called dibs.
"I call Caius," Tanya said evenly. Probably because of Irina.
"What about me?" Garret volunteered.
I nodded. "Now, who's fighting who? Emmett already called Felix. Clarisse got Demetri and Kate to Jane."
"How's Emmett going to fight Felix?" Pollux asked.
"*Darn it. Oh, Jake, build him a cage!" Emmett smiled, clearly pleased with himself. (don't swear)
"Okay, and then I'll go for him, apply the cage. It will open as soon as I say so," Jake replied, going towards his tent.
"All vampires can help Bella for now," I called and dismissed the meeting.
They followed me to the ditch from last time. "You guys can play around for a while. I'll help Bella," I instructed.
"'Kay Bella. First, you have to spread your shield around everyone, even the Volturi…wait, you'll probably be in the back. Never mind. Then focus on water, just water, pretend you're weaving through everyone, touch the people you want to shield. You'll know if they're under your shield because you'll feel more pressure on you, not a lot though. As long as you touched that person, my dad will make sure they stay shielded," I explained. "I know it's a lot of work but at least you know what to do."
Bella nodded and I continued. "Let's try with real water first." I made a little puddle in front of her. "Just control it on the ground. Make it go wherever you want…on the ground. Try to pretend…like you're a snake, slithering, but don't actually do it." I heard Emmett laugh a little.
She closed her eyes and the puddle moved five inches backwards, towards her.
"Don't open your eyes, which way did you want the puddle to go?" I asked.
"Forward," Bella opened her eyes and sighed a little.
"It's okay. Try again," I instructed. She closed her eyes and seemed to be concentrating really hard. The water shot towards Emmett, who was standing on the left.
"Right," she replied and smiled a little when she saw where it was. "It's the opposite of what I want it to go."
I nodded. "Think you're ready. Everyone, spread out in front of Bella. Nico, Aladia, Ben and Garret will surround her and she'll be behind everyone." Edward seemed to like that idea. "The Cabin Leaders and Carlisle will be the first row. Emmett, Kate, Jasper, and Tanya will be the second. The rest of them can just be other places." I stated as everyone got to their places.
"Okay Bella, just try it with water now. When you feel wet, raise your hand," I took a step back as Bella closed her eyes. "One more thing. The water will take your energy. I'll have Aladia have some nector. Hopefully shielding just comes to you because after you touch them, it's fine."
Bella nodded then opened her eyes. "Can't see," she explained. She tightened her eyes and guided the water to Edward and Nessie first and then it touched Alice. She took a deep breath and continued, willing the opposite. Esme, Jasper, Carlisle and Jacob were next. Then Carmen, Eleazer, Tanya and Kate got touched. Garret was second to last and then finally, Emmett, who scowled when he realized Bella's plan.
"Perfect!" all of us hissed. Edward suddenly ran and came back with a canteen of nector.
"Not too much!" I reminded. "Or you'll burn to bits."
After she took a sip and looked better, I continued my lesson. "Okay, now try it with your shield. During the fight, it'll be easier since they're all in front of you. Just don't go too far. Oh, and don't shield Edward."
Bella nodded and concentrated. I turned to Edward. "Very, very faintly, like a murmur. I think if Jane looked at them, it'd be a sting. If Alec tried to cut off, the vision will just become a tiny bit hazy, but that's probably it."
"No it won't," Lady Artemis swooped down from the sky in a silver streak, tinted pink.
"Lady Artemis," we bowed.
"I don't have any children…"She cringed in disgust. "…here so I can help. Poseidon and I will make sure the shield is safe. I do owe him. I wouldn't be alive then. Of course, that was a long time ago, but my life is worth something," Artemis explained. She muttered about Hera just having to accept things the way they are.
"Thank you Artemis. Don't want to be rude but did you and Aphrodite…talk?" I asked.
She nodded. "Yes, we still believe in opposites, but we will put that aside when we talk."
I nodded and she disappeared.
"Okay. Why don't you rest? No ambrosia or nector though. Maybe some blood will help," I instructed and suddenly, Alice had a blank look. Edward shrugged.
"They will be here a few days early, on Monday," she replied, shakily.
"Please, don't worry. We will be fine, as long as Jake got the cage done. Well, gotta go," Emmett rushed off.
Carlisle and Esme sighed. "We should go spread the news."
"They'll be here on Monday!" Alice called to the whole camp. They pulled me towards their backyard.
The Ares cabin hissed, "yes!"
"Okay, Thursday and Friday, we practice. Nico, call up some skeletons once in a while, you know, surprises. Not when we're resting though. Rosalie and Emmett, you guys can fight 2 hellhounds that Nico will call up for practice. Saturday, we practice and Sunday, we rest, get everything ready. Objections?" Thalia challenged the crowd. Sometimes, I think she took the "daughter of Zeus" a little too far.
Everyone shook their heads and Thalia looked pleased.

"Does everyone have the sheet memorized?" I asked my guards who all nodded. "Perfect, let's board the jet."
We had all drank the night before, perhaps too much but it was a long ride.
Finally, the time has come.
Percy's POV
It was Saturday, the day of the fight. Up until then, there were unexpected skeletons and more nector and ambrosia was used. I had everyone positioned the way I wanted. Some people argued but Thalia agreed with me and everyone shut up. Nico called out 100 skeletons and we put the knowledge that we learned the past month to test. Ben put the skeletons that got close to Bella on fire. Aladia, who was on the left shot them with arrows that Bella handed to her. Garret protected her back and had the canteen of nector incase she needed some. Of course, Aladia supervised, making sure she didn't get too much. Edward seemed relieved with all the protection Bella got and she just rolled her eyes when she noticed the look. Emmett seemed to have fun fighting the skeletons with his new knife. Jake tested his cage which worked fine. Rosalie and Emmett (after a few skeletons) fought 2 hellhounds which they easily killed with their sword practice.
"We are so ready," Thalia yelled and everyone cheered.
"Okay. Basically, when we actually fight, look for people you would be best against. For example, if someone surrounds you with mist, Iris's cabin should get him. When you ripped up someone, call for Hestia's kids and if you need nector and ambrosia, call for Apollo's kids. If we are way outnumbered, Nico will call some skeletons. Oh, and Rosalie and Emmett. I know you guys want Rosalie to go after Reneta but I think it has to be Emmett. Then you help," Annabeth gave out some tips.
They sighed a little.
"Oh, and I almost forgot, Artemis will probably watch," I added. Everyone nodded, a little relieved.
"Bella, whatever happens, do NOT go in the fight. If you're hurt…" Edward cringed. "…the shield will be gone. You wouldn't want your family to suffer would you?" Leila reminded. "Just yell or something." Bella nodded and Edward seemed to relax a little.
"What about Nessie?" Bella suddenly alarmed.
"Mom…" she dragged as Chiron thought. "Why don't we have her in Bella's circle?"
Bella relaxed and Nessie just sighed.
"Ok campers and everyone else. The swords have been tested, traps have been set, and food is good. Everyone just lie down and rest. Percy, you may go to your little ditch," Chiron said in a soothing tone as Clarisse snickered. After soaking her, I left towards La Push instead.
