Erin POV
"Wake up, Bells. We're home." I shook my friend awake and she woke with a start.
The brunette girl shook her head and said, "Good. Did anyone else try to follow us?"
I responded, "Nah. I thought so for a few miles back in Montana, but it wasn't anything."
She smiled and got out of the car. I tossed her duffel bag to her and she caught it easily. I clambered out and slammed the car door. Between us, Bella and I managed to hide the car in its usual spot and cover it with dead brush. The only thing visible was a small patch of silver. Bella and I left the hiding spot and easily walked the quarter-mile to the middle of the camp. We immediately headed towards the Big House; a white Victorian-style farmhouse that was used as a meeting place. I held the door for Bella and we were greeted by a, "Hello, Kerin. Hello, Kella," from Mr. D and a, "Hello, girls," from Chiron.
Bella asked immediately, "Why did you contact me now about the Cullens?"
Man, she'd gotten blunt! Chiron said, "They are a danger to you, Isabella."
Bella growled, "No they aren't! I explained it to Erin! THEY ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO ME!"
Mr. D said boredly, "It's not the Cullens, Gella. It's the ones with red eyes. Especially the one with red hair."
Bella went even paler than she usually was and cursed, "Shit! Shit! Victoria again!"
I asked, "Who's Victoria?"
She said angrily, "She wants to kill me because Edward killed James, her husband. Victoria is approximately 200, I'd say. She drinks human blood, unlike the Cullens and Denali who only hunt animals."
I said, "So, we're in deep shit?"
Bella replied, "Pretty much, yeah. Unless I can train enough to fight her, then I'm dead."
I said, "Well, great. Unless one of your friends just appears here and helps-"
She cut me off here and said, "NO! They show up here and I won't be let to fight!"
I said, "Excuse me? Did I hear Bella say that she wouldn't be let do something? What happened to the Bella that just said, 'Nope. We're doing it my way or no way.'?"
My sister replied indignantly, "I'm still that Bella! It's just impossible to say that to them! I've tried a billion times!"
I said, "Well now's your time to try it again!"
She got an understanding look on her face when I held up her cell phone and waved it in front of her face. Bella reached for it and screeched, "Gimme it!"
I jerked it back and Mr. D snorted with laughter. She growled, "Give. Me. IT!"
I pulled it back again and ran out the door. She ran behind me (man! Bella's fast!) and screamed, "GIMME IT!"
I ran faster and put in a text.
Erin: My name is Erin. I'm with Bella. Don't freak; she's here willingly. 'Where is here?' you may ask. That would be Camp Half Blood in New York. We're at 1 Strawberry Farm Lane. Bella needs some training, so I'm contacting you guys for help.
I found some girl named Alice Cullen's number and sent it. The response came back a half-second after I sent it.
Alice: So... Is there a mall up there? If so, I'm game. I told the rest of my family. Tell Bella that we said 'Hi'. Everyone says that they'd love to come.
I screeched to a halt and Bella slammed into me. She ripped the phone out of my fingers and, after seeing the text, yelled, "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
I screamed and ran towards the Apollo cabin. I ran inside and locked the door just as Bella slammed into the door. She pounded on the ancient wood, yelling, "GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE, ERIN! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
Kelly, one of my sisters, asked, "What's up, Erin?"
I panted, "Got... Help... Bella... Wants... Kill..."
Kelly nodded and then asked, "Hey, you going to the party later?"
I said, "Yeah."
I yelled to Bella, "GOING TO THE PARTY LATER, BELLA?"
She screamed, "YEAH AND I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
I said, "Close enough!"
When Bella finally stopped pounding on the door an hour later, I warily walked outside. She was flushed and said, "I won't kill you. Just cuz you're my sister."
I smiled and hugged her, saying, "Sorry I called 'em, Bella Bean. Oh, and Alice says 'Hi'."
Bella growled in mock-anger and said, "Let's get ready for the party, shall we?"
