Percy's POV

I was expecting a lot of things, but this wasn't one of them. I can handle that retarded vampire trying to kill me, but Bella being the daughter of my enemy was way over my head.

I knelt to the ground and whispered to myself in disbelief "Hades." Then I spoke the way Chiron would have spoken if he were here. "Hail Isabella Swan, Daughter of Hades, lord of the Underworld, god of the Dead."

Both Edward and Bella's faces wore the same mask: shock, disbelief, and- most of all- fear. Then his face changed to anger and I was waiting for him to lunge at me again. Instead her just glared at me, then at Bella, then me again.

"WHAT?" Bella shrieked at me. "What did you call me?"

"A daughter of Hades," I said confused by what was troubling her.

"That can't be! My father is Charlie, not some stupid god!"

There was a role of thunder. "Bella, don't upset the gods. It's not smart or safe." I cautioned her.

"This can't be," she sobbed and turned her head into my chest and just cried. She was letting it take her over for five minutes and I let her.

"Bella," I spoke, trying to soothe her for what was next. "We have to go to Camp Halfblood or you will be in more danger then anyone." Except me, I thought dryly.

"Okay, where is it?" she asked huskily.

"Manhattan."

"How do we get there? Plane?"

No, Zeus would just blow up the plane and kill us. We will go by Blackjack," I said as I heard What's up, Boss in my head.

"Blackjack?" she looked at me confused again just as Blackjack landed. Her eyes went wide.

"We need you to take us to Manhattan, I told Blackjack as I climbed on his back. Bella just stood there.

No way, Boss, Blackjack thought. She smells like the dead. There is no way Corpse Breath's daughter is getting on my back. She can just shadow travel there like Nico does.

I gave Blackjack my best, if you don't do this, you are tonight's dinner, look. He studied me for a moment and then quickly thought, Okay, whatever you say. Just get her off me as soon as possible.

"Once you get there," I said as I pulled Bella on behind me.

Bella's POV

I never thought I would be riding on a flying horse. I had to admit that I was terrified. I was so scared that I was cling to Percy's waist the whole time. My knuckles had turned white by the time we got there - which was five hours. Blackjack was fast and when we got there, he staggered. Poor flying horse.

Percy got off and then turned to me to help me down. But, like always, I slipped and fell right on top of him. I was lying on his chest. I was barely aware that Blackjack had collapsed and was now asleep. We laughed together at my usual lack of coronation.

Then a look came over his face and he pulled my face to his. His lips were soft but urgent against mine. Our lips both molded around each others in a way that was unfamiliar. I was so used to my lips molding around stone hard lips. Kissing Percy soft, warm lips were way better than kissing Edward's hard, cold lips.

When we finally broke away, Percy said, "Welcome to Camp Halfblood."

This was the most fun one to write and I can't wait to write the next chapter. Thanks to everyone who has helped me get the final details down. Luv you all.
