Okay so I've been thinking and I've decided to switch the story around….I forgot which mythical creature I was going to turn bella into, so I'm making her something else…you'll see!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight, or the Percy Jackson series…btw im getting some ideas from that book, though I don't own either.

Chapter 2- Hallucinations?

The plane ride flew by without me noticing. Somehow, despite my horrendous luck, a very polite and reserved man in maybe his late twenties sat next to me. He seemed to understand that I wasn't in the mood for chattering. So he left me to finish my book and listened to Taylor Swift's 'Hey Stephen' on my ipod over and over again until I had practically memorized when and where every instrument came in.

Occasionally the waitress had come by and flirted with the man next to me. She hadn't even bothered to look in my direction when I had declined her impatient offer for drinks. When she finally left, I noticed on the back of his new orange juice she left her number. Classic. I inwardly smiled and chuckled.

I glanced over at the guy next to me, I realized he was fairly attractive, with his dirty blond curls in a short buzz cut, only long enough to fit in one curl with each strand. On his hairline, the curls were turned bleach blond, just like his long eyelash tips and the edges of his eyebrows. His skin wasn't noticeably pale, but definitely not pinky white, just a light straw color. The sparkly lake blue eyes led down to the perfect widely envied nose. It was like coming down straight, but the slightest inward curve gave it just the right shape in just the right size. He had a great jaw too, one that of a leader.

He caught my peaking and smiled carefully, but didn't say a word. I brought my eyes back down to my ipod as if to change to a new song, even though it was already on shuffle. That was the last of the conversation, even if we didn't speak at all.

At the Baggage Claim in Seattle Airport…

I immediately found Charlie at the baggage claim spot for my flight.

"Charlie!" He eyes frantically scanned the crowed until they rested on me. His face lit up like a little boy on Christmas morning.

"Bells!" We exchanged one awkward hug. Charlie wasn't prone to showing his emotions, and preferred not to.

"It's great to see you Bella," He said as he loaded my luggage into the back of the police cruiser. We continued to the front seats once he closed the trunk. He smiled genuinely and I smiled back. The rest of the ride was fairly silent; Charlie was a man of few words, so we just drove contentedly.

I hadn't realized we were home till Charlie opened my car door for me. I guess I was really interested in that Hey Stephen song again. Home. Sigh, that's gonna take some getting used to.

We got into the house and he showed me my room. It's not like I didn't know the way, I'd been coming here over the summers when I was a child.

"Okay, I guess I'll let you get settled. How do you feel 'bout take out Chinese food?"

"Sure, sounds good. Thanks Ch-Dad." I wasn't supposed to call him Charlie, so I'll have to work on my slip ups. I was grateful for the fact that my Dad doesn't prod or question really, he just lets be, until of course it's about something serious.

Wow, today was a long day, and I hadn't even begun to unpack. Guess I'll do that later, so I layed down on the bed and drifted away as my eyes closed.

"Com'on Bells, food's ready." I vaguely recognized Charlie's face as I squinted up at him. Apparently it was already dark, from the looks of the view out my window.

We ate in silence, savoring every bite. I think I'm going to like Forks. Renée was always so nosy and loud, though I loved her, but sometimes I needed some serenity…ahh Renée, I miss my mother, so scatterbrained and unorganized. She was more like the child and I the mother, so I'm glad she has Phil to take care of her.

I did the dishes and Charlie sat down on the couch to watch the big game. It was something about the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees.

Sauntering up the stairs, I tripped, and caught myself, thanks to the railing. I went strait back into my bed and continued where I'd left off.

My dream was the strangest thing, It was like I was living in Mount Olympus. Zeus and Hera, Demeter, Athena, Gaea, all the Greek gods that live in Olympus were there. There were also all these kids, demigods, I believe they are called, that were running amok. They all looked like the gods. Strange resemblances told you if they were an offspring of Athena, or Aphrodite, or someone other. And the weirdest part, was that I was with those children, and I felt belonging.

My eyes burst open and I looked out the window. Rising and shining was the sun! I lifted the covers off my bed and jumped out. Immediately I stumbled on thin air and fell. Ouch, that's gonna hurt. My wrist was bent the wrong way a little but thankfully I didn't have enough weight on it to sprain it.

Weird…my throat feels all dry, like I haven't had any water, or anything moist in days. Water, that sounds good, mmm. I started down the stairs to get some liquid down my throat when I tripped again. Once I recovered I began marching down again just to find myself back on the ground. What is with me today? Who'd'a thunk that Bella Swan, the walking danger magnet, could get any more clumsy, or dangerous for that matter? This world never ceases to amaze me.

I grabbed a glass from the top cabinet and filled it with the tap. I closed my eyes and just raised it to my lips, relishing in the feeling of moisture. I inhaled the fragrance. Mmm, water smelled so good. I lifted the glass to then drink and through my head back, but nothing went in, not a drop. I realized how ridiculous I was, water doesn't smell like anything! What was I thinking? Why is there no more liquid in the glass?

I checked the floor for any evidence of spilling. Nothing. Zip. What in the world? Ugg…I'll worry about that later, right now I'm thirsty.

Filling up another full glass to the rim, I brought it near my mouth to lick off the top so that when I tilt it, it won't spill. My lips didn't even skim it by a whole inch and all the liquid sucked up in a whirl pool, and began merging up towards the space between my lips. It was like a waterfall, but traveling up rather than down.

Realization set in and my eyes bugged out of my head. What was that? I didn't come near the glass and all of a sudden the water gravitated towards my throat like a magnet! Am I hallucinating? If not, better not let anyone see this. I wasn't one to spend all my time reading fantasy, but I wasn't totally all thinking that it doesn't exist. It just seems logical that we humans are not the only one on earth.

Immediately I wanted to see if I could do it again, and why not? I'm still thirsty. But this time it's not all just thirst,…I'm really, I'm really in the mood for salt. Salt, that sounds sooooo good. I filled the cup with water and sprinkled the salt in there. But it won't come out fast enough! I resolved to just opening the entire salt shaker and pouring the white specks into the water. I eagerly chugged it down just like before and licked my lips in hopes that the taste was preserved there.

Wait!!!! Did I just drink that??? And without throwing up too. Usually I gag at the smell of a little more than just a sprinkle of salt because it reminds me of blood…oh yeah I can smell blood too. It's not pleasant. It smells like rust, like my mom's stainless steel big cooking silver bowls. Eww, just the thought of that blood makes me gag. Sigh, good, so I'm not turning into a vampire or anything.

I'd better keep some mental notes of my weird symptoms…

Smell water

Drink water by defying gravity

I can drink saltwater

I'm always really thirsty

Clumsier than usually (which is hard to believe, I know)

Salt tastes good

Oh boy, today is going to be another long day. Better get started discovering more weird things about me before Charlie gets home from the police station.

Okay so I hoped you liked that, kind of lame I know, but you have to remember I'm not a good writer. Just doing this to lay out some ideas and relieve my mind. Anyway You've probably noticed how I'm undecided about if Bella should be with Edward or Jacob. See what happened was that I was originally team Edward, but once I saw New Moon, the movie, I've become so attached to Jacob, and Edward was so feeling less in the movie. So I'm officially team Jacob now. But for this story Edward would probably be better with his vampire abilities so yea…sorry about the mix-up…and yea…

Thanks!
