Chapter Six:

An Unexpected Surprise

(What just Happened)

"Um Alice wants you to come over" he said

"Oh I guess it's time I have to explain sometime anyway" was my simple reply. "I'll race you" I said. And with that i was gone.

"What Alice?" I asked in a monotone voice

"Where's Edward?" she asked looking at me inqueisitingly but with a sly smile on her face just before Edward came through

"Right here" he said

"As I asked earlier" I said "What did you want Alice?"

"Just to see you beat Edward" she said and walked upstairs

"Well that was useless" I mumbled under my breath

"Not particularly" he said 'Stupid Vampire Hearing' "I believe you owe us an explanation" he said as the others walked (or rather ran) down the stairs

"Fine" I said defeated, I was surrounded by seven vampires, "Where do I start?"

"Preferably the beginning" said Carlile taking a seat as did the others

"Yeah well that's more complicated than it sounds" I mumbled to quiet for them to hear "I suppose I'll start with this, who here has ever heard about the Greek gods?" I asked pretty sure most of them had. And I was right, even Esme raised her hand "Good that makes my job easier"

"What do you mean?" asked Esme, Always polite isn't she

"I mean that is where the history of my story begins" they all still looked confused "The Greek gods are real"

"Wait you mean like Zeus, Hades, and Posi…" started Rosalie I cut her off by covering her mouth with my hand

"shh!" I Whisper Shouted just as a bolt of lightning landed in the distance "Names have power"

"So you're trying to tell us what, you're a daughter of Zeus?" More Thunder and lightning said Emmet "Cause that would be awesome!" that made him acquire a head slap from Rosalie

"No!" I said they all looked relived "I'm a daughter of Hades!" there goes the insane looks again

"You're trying to tell us you're a daughter of Hades?" asked Jasper

"Your one to talk." I said just as a glowing owl appears over his head "oh look I was right"

"What is that!" said Rosalie

"That" I said pointing at the glowing symbol of Athena. Pause for dramatic affect. "Is how a god or goddess claims their children"

"Okay, okay we believe you. Now make it go away!" said Emmet "it's starting to freak me out!"

"It will dissipate on its own" I said

"So does he have some kinda cool power like you?" asked (you guessed it) Emmet

"No" I said "that is only because I was born half vampire"

"Wait half vampire" said Esme "how can you be half vampire"

"My mother was a vampire, my father is a god" I said "Simple as that"

"I wouldn't call that simple" I heard Edward mumble

"I would love to know more about you and your history" said Carlile with a smile on his face

"Maybe some other time" I said I saw his smile falter "it is getting late and I didn't exactly get a great night's sleep last night."

"Of couse, sorry where not used to having people over who need sleep" he said "would you like a ride home?"

"It's quite alright" I said "I need to clear my head, and running is much faster"

"Will we see you in school tomorrow" asked Edward

"I don't know about you, but I wasn't planning on being there" I said

"She's right" said Alice "it's going to be sunny tomorrow"

"Well in that case" said Esme "why don't you come over here tomorrow afternoon"

"I would love to" I said "Good night" walked out the door and through the forest line, then I broke out in to a run and was back at my house in minutes. I got in, feed Cero, changed clothes, and climbed in bed all in two minutes time. And even though I was already asleep I still had this quire feeling that I wasn't alone. But an even better feeling that I knew who it was and that gave me some comfort. For that was the first night I concisely dreamt of Edward Cullen

Edward's POV

"So Jasper you're a demi-god." Asked Rosalie

"I guess so" Sighed Jasper. In his mind he said "Man why do I have to be the center of attention!"

I smiled. Poor Jasper, he always was a quiet type.

"Wait why he is a demi-god? Why can't I be one?" inquired Emmet.

"Because your mom didn't catch a god!" Rosalie said in a matter-of-fact way.

"Jasper try to do something cool!" Emmet asked ignoring Rosalie. I noticed something to my left and turned to see Alice sitting in a corner watching us. I walked over.

"Hey kid what's eating you?" I ask.

"I knew this was going to happen!"

"What! When?" I asked, curious now.

"The day I met Jasper I had a vision that he was going to have something glowing over his head, then everyone was going to act differently towards him…..He was going to start treating me differently." Alice said tears welling up in her eyes.

"Nah Jasper would never treat you different. You guys are like best friends."

She smiled. "I know I'm just scared."

"No need to worry." I said glancing at my watch, Nine-thirty.

"Well I've got to go….bye Ali" I smiled then ran out of the house to Bella's house. I checked the down-stairs window, and when I saw no lights I climbed the tree to the next level, I climbed into her room and sat in the corner. She slept looking like she was at peace, a smile played on her lips, I heard her mumble.

"Edward…..Edward." I smiled Aphrodite had her way with making people like each other…
