I found my way into town and found a diner. I bumped into a girl and sent her sprawling. "Oh my. Im sorry." I apologized. I helped her up and she smiled at me. "It's fine. I was watching where I was going." She said. "I'm Athena." I smiled. "Like the Greek god?" she asked. "Exactly like that." I smiled. "I'm Bella." She smiled. "I haven't seen you around here before are you new to town?" she asked. "Yes. I just recently bought the home on the outskirts of town. I unfortunately arrived before the rest of my things and am starving." I said. "I was just on my way to my boyfriend's house. His mother always cooks more than I could ever eat. You are welcome to come with me." She said.

I smiled and nodded. She led me to an old truck and I climbed into the passenger side. On the way over, we asked all kinds of questions and I asked her to help me. "I lost my family recently and I have no one. If you could just introduce me as your friend from awhile ago I would appreciate it. I don't want people to know im alone here." I said. She frowned and nodded. "Of course." She smiled. She pulled onto a long dirt road and I couldn't wait to finally lay eyes on Ares after all this time. She climbed out and I followed her into the house. "Hey Emmett is everyone home?" she asked a bear of a man. He nodded and instantly the room was filled with people. I gasped and I saw the frowns immeadiately.

"Bella, love, who is this?" a bronzed haired boy asked. "This is Thea. She's a friend of mine from Arizona. She came up to visit me." Bella lied. I saw movement on the stairs and looked up. MY eyes landed on Ares and I shivered in excitement. I could see that he had picked up on Bella's lie and beggedhim not to say anything with my thoughts. He gasped and said one sentence. "It's you." He breathed and I frowned. "What?" I asked. "I recognize you from somewhere." He said. "Athena stop him! He can not awaken yet!" Hermes yelled in my head. "What are you talking about? I just got here." I said. They all looked confused and I shrugged. I took in the rest of the vampire family and caught the blonde girl grinning at me.
