Secrets

Chapter 7- Meeting

-Bella POV-

As soon as Annabeth and I arrived to camp, I was hyperventilating. I mean, you would be too if the family that you have been trying to forget for the past week was coming to your safe haven.

It really sucked.

"Annabeth? What happened?" I heard a voice ask, walking towards Annabeth and a crumpled up me.

"Well… let's just say we had a run in with a few old friends that Bella had," Annabeth hinted, and I knew it was Percy because of that sharp intake of breath. I've heard it once or twice before…

"You mean-" Percy started, but I was lucky Annabeth cut him off.

"Yes, seaweed brain. They're going to be waiting for us later at their home. Chiron needs to know, so I suggest for the time being you go ask, wait, tell him," Annabeth said, and I heard some footsteps jogging away.

"Bella, I need you to calm down," Annabeth whispered, playing with my hair. She knew I always found calmness when people did that.

"I-I can't d-do it," I stuttered, my voice breaking from uncontrollable intakes of air.

"Yes you can, Bella. And you will, too. You're one of the bravest people I know," Annabeth told me, and I could hear the smile in her voice, "You need to do this. For closure."

"Bu-But what about him?" I asked, my voice breaking at the thought of seeing him again. My heart was already broken once, no need to go ahead and do it again.

"You will have Percy, Nico, Thals, and I with you," Annabeth explained flawlessly, like she had no doubts that that was all I needed.

"Thalia's back?" I asked, my voice returning to normal. My eyes were still closed, I think that the stress would come back as the light would come back to my eyes, reminding me of memories that I've tried to forget.

"Yeah, the huntresses have come to the camp, since we have to think of the whole 'Kronos coming back with help' thing," Annabeth told me. I nodded, getting the concept.

I decided to open my eyes. I had to go and get ready… we were going to need to get a hold of the Cullen's. "Bella, we need you to email them and ask where they live…" Percy said, walking up from behind me.

He put his arm around my shoulder when I stood up, causing me to smile up to him. "I take it you told Chiron and he approved," I laughed. His expression was back to the same old Percy, giving me some good memories.

"Exactly. AND, Thalia is coming with Nico. Couldn't resist the opportunity to meet real vampires," Percy explained and I laughed at how stupid Nico and Thals could be. He could shadow travel anywhere, yet wants to go meet vampires. While Thalia… let's just say isn't the most normal teen in the world. Even for a demigod.

"When are we going?" Percy asked, and I looked at Annabeth who was at the moment under Percy's other arm.

"Three days. And may I ask where we're going?" Annabeth answered, making Percy laugh.

"Three days is good, and to answer your question, we're going to the good ol' lake," he said.

Annabeth giggled, letting me know that the term good ol' lake has a different meaning. "Let me guess, I don't wanna know."

Percy and Annabeth looked at each other with goo-goo eyes, and then looked back at me apologeticly. Needless to say they nodded their heads.

I ducked under Percy's arm, not wanting to be apart in what was about to happen, so I walked the other way to my cabin… or Percy and I's cabin, and logged on my computer, so I could email Alice.

Cullens-

I know you have seen me, so I will be coming to your house. I will be brining three friends… so you aren't frightened. I need to know where you live now to know where to go, so get back to me.

~B

I sent the email, and pulled out a book written in Ancient Greek, so I could read it with ease.

It wasn't about 3 minutes until she answered back.

Bella-

Good to know about the friends! It'll be nice to see some of your friends. We live back at Forks now, deciding Esme and Carlisle had some loose ends to tie up. You can meet us at our old house there. It'll be nice to see you again.

~Alice

I smiled to myself, remembering their house back at Forks. Some tears slipped, so I quickly wiped them away, not wanting to be weak.

I decided to reply to them, and made it quick, hearing the conch shell blow signaling dinner.

Alice-

I'll be there with my friends in three days.

~B

I sent it, and ran off to the dining pavilion.

Dinner was- okay. The food was great, the campers were nice, and I really just… didn't fit in. It felt like that first day at Forks High, not knowing who I could really trust and fit in with.

Everyone thought that they knew who I was, determining my uncle, Zeus, added that piece of information to their minds.

"BELLA!" I heard someone screech, and turned around in time to see black with a few streaks of silver and blue hurling at me.

"Thalia!" I exclaimed, meeting her halfway with a hug. We let go and smiled at each other. I had been what? Two years?

"I missed you!" she said, and punched my shoulder, "How've you been holding up?"

"Well, okay, for someone who's gone through what I went through," I said, and Thalia nodded in agreement, "I hear your going on the quest."

"You heard right. It's going to be just like old times," Thalia said, smiling. I smiled at her too, and we walked to my table where all of my other friends where sitting, since dinner was over. AKA: Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Grover.

"Hey Bells! Hiyah Thals!" Grover exclaimed happily, enjoying the reunion. I gave a hug to my furry friend, as did Thalia.

"How've you been, Tree Hugger?" I asked sarcastically, and Grover smirked knowingly at me.

"Good, how about you, Water Girl?" he asked, and I smirked back at him.

"Fine," I said, and the others laughed at us.

"Grover could take my place as her brother," Percy said sarcastically, patting the top of my head. I'm pretty sure my face matched what I felt at that position, furious.

"Oh Percy," I said, using my disapproving voice, "How many times do I have to tell you to not do that?" I asked, and Percy's eyes went wide.

I heard Nico chuckle, followed by a "wack!" and then an, "OWE!" from Nico, of course. I had to resist the urge to laugh, and be dead serious.

"Uhm… 134 times?" Percy asked, remembering how many times I had this discussion with him.

"Good," I said, following with smacking the back of his head. He did the exact same thing as Nico and rubbed it.

"You two could be brother and sister of the year," Thalia said, laughing.

"If we were, then who would I have to get all of my comebacks from?" I asked, and Thals just shrugged.

I love my family.

-Alice POV-

Three days after I got those emails, our family was waiting in the living room. Everyone was anxious, having heard, about what happened.

But I have to say… Edward had the worst reaction.

-Flashback-

Right as we walked through the door to our house, Carlisle was trying to calm a furious Edward. Esme was trying to help, but we all knew that it wouldn't help.

"WHERE IS SHE?" Edward snarled, causing Emmet and Jazzy to step in front of Rose and I.

"She is with her friends at Camp Half Blood," I said knowingly, and Edward read my mind, glaring daggers at my head the whole time.

"YOU LET HER GET HURT!" Edward boomed, shaking our house. Jasper and Emmet sent a warning growl to Edward, but I knew he wouldn't hurt us.

Psychic, remember?

"You saw that at the end that stuff made her okay again!" I argued, and Edward just growled at me. I glared menacingly at his head. "You'll see that she's okay, soon. She's coming anyways."

Edward's eyes changed from anger to shock. "She's coming? Here?"

"Yes, nitwit. Bella's coming to our home… I'm not sure if she'll bring anyone with her or not- now I can't exactly see her."

"WHAT?" Edward asked, scaring us all. Even I didn't see that coming.

"I know she's alive. Something must be protecting her, though. And that girl… Annabeth... I can't see her either."

Edward looked at me, shocked again, and I just nodded, seeing in his eyes what he was wondering.

'Did things really change that much?'

-End Flashback-

Ever since that moment, Edward has been very nervous. Too nervous for Edward, anyways.

It was completely obvious that he still loved her. And never stopped, that is.

All of the sudden, the doorbell rang. I looked at my family and bolted to the door. I would approach them, having sent the emails.

"Hello, Alice," Bella said, as I opened the door. Three of her friends were behind her, and I recognized one of them as Annabeth. Bella's eyes were still the sea-green color, matching a boy's who stood close to Annabeth.

The other two had a punk rock theme going on, wearing black, and one other color. The girl was wearing black skinny jeans, combat boots, and a black jacket. Her hair was cropped short, and raven black.

The boy had the same look, black skinny jeans, raven longer hair (for a boy), and a black jacket… but he wore black converses.

"Come on in," I said, and when she stepped inside, I gave her a hug. After a few seconds of shock, she hugged me back.

"I forgive you, Alice," she whispered, causing me to smile.

I lead them to the living room where the rest of the family was. Everyone's eyes widened at Bella's actual nice clothes, and her sea-green eyes.

They all had this divine sense to them, and it seemed amazing just to be in the same room as them. Not to mention, their blood smelled really good.

Esme gave the idea for us to sit at the dining table where we could all fit, and we did. There was one chair dividing the kids and us. Bella and Edward each sat at the heads of the table. I could tell Bella was nervous at seeing him again, but she was doing a rather good of hiding it.

"Hi, you guys. I think I need to introduce my friends," Bella started, and everyone smiled. She pointed to the sea-green eyed man on her right, "This is my little brother Percy Jackson," she pointed to Annabeth who was seated next to Percy, "And this is his girlfriend, Annabeth Chase."

We all smiled and nodded to them, who did the same back. "These two are my good friends, Nico Di'Angelo, and Thalia Grace."

They glared at us, and I knew that they had seen Bella have some… emotional issues.

"And guys, these are the Cullen's. Alice, Jasper, Esme, Edward, Carlisle, Rosalie, and Emmet," Bella introduced us to the others and they smiled at us, knowing that they didn't have any weakness… I guess… now.

"So, Bella, what exactly happened that night?" I asked, and Bella looked at me, her eyes full of knowledge. I looked at her intently, expecting a very well thought out answer.

"I came here to discuss that with you… and our camp leader, Chiron, was very excited to hear that there where vampires," she said, making my family gasp. She told others? She put us in danger!

"You told?" I asked in disbelief. Rosalie looked like steam could be coming out of her ears at that moment.

"I did tell, but at the same time… Chiron already knew about the existence of vampires, but not your kind. Vegetarians." I nodded, and wondered, how did this Chiron dude know about vampires?

Edward looked at me, and I knew he was thinking the same question.

"How did he know?" Carlisle asked, and we all nodded in agreement.

"I will tell you… just promise me not to argue, I mean, I will give examples," Bella stuttered a bit at the end, and I knew she was nervous.

Percy gave her an encouraging look, and she nodded to him, smiling.

"I haven't been exactly honest with you… Charlie and Renee aren't my parents… my real parents. Percy and I's mother was with someone with great power for awhile, and created us.

"There isn't a lot of people like Thalia, Nico, Percy and I, because of the power we have. Annabeth has wisdom, which makes her… very powerful.

"That person my mother was with was the greek god Poseidon. The god of the seas." Percy smirked at us, and Emmet just bursted out with laughter.

"Yeah, and I guess I'm Albert Einstein," Emmet barked, and immediately Percy was holding Annabeth back in her seat. Rose sensed this was to Emmet, so she growled.

I peeled my eyes away from them and looked at Bella. Her thumb and index finger was on her nose, showing she was stressed… something she picked up from Edward.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Bella yelled, making everyone in the room silent. I looked at her, and the usually calm green eyes she wore where a boiling green. The vases on the table shattered, making everyone's eyes except Percy's wide, and the water formed into a trident. The one Poseidon used.

She used her hands to push the water, aiming for the window, but Percy held his hands up, making sure it didn't break the window. Instead, he made it move to the kitchen sink, making it go down the drain.

Everyone's eyes where huge, and Percy gave Bella some water to drink. She kindly excepted and drained the bottle, making us even more shocked. Bella never drank that fast, not breathing that long.

I looked at everyone in the room, and we all had eyes as big as saucers.

"Sorry… I have a lot of my father in me," Bella admitted, blushing that same blush that we always saw back then… in easier times.

"It's okay dear. Thank you Percy, for saving my window," Esme winked, making Percy laugh. Annabeth had a humorous look on her face, but elbowed Percy to signal it was rude.

We all laughed at that, making Percy blush too. It was actually kind of funny.

"My only question is… why didn't you tell us?" Jasper asked.

"Think about it… if I told you, monsters like the one you saw in that alley… even worse, will come after you. I guess, now it's too late." Annabeth said, talking for Bella who was looking at the table, ashamed.

"I get it now," Jasper smiled, and Annabeth nodded, smiling too. I could tell they would be friends.

"But why did you come here?" Edward snapped, and Bella's head snapped up. "You know you're putting us at a risk. Why come then?"

Bella looked ashamed, and I saw some tears in her eyes, "I came because you need to know that there may be some things out there looking for you. You do not want to know what I've been up against. Scars that I have, have stories to go with them. I will make sure that as a friend, my friends will be safe.

"If It didn't have to come to this, I would not have come. Good to know you don't want me here." Bella snapped right back. Edward looked down at the table, knowing that he screwed up.

"Here's the thing," Percy started, and all of our heads snapped to him, "If we sense danger, we will call you. We do it with all mythical creatures like you that we know of. Lately, there has been a breach in the titan's environment… we think possibly a vampire had done it.

We'll tell you to make sure you know what's going on in your world… mixed with ours."

"Thank you, we will defiantly hold on to that," Carlisle looked like he just remembered something, "Oh, when will we find more about… your world?"

Bella answered this one, "When or if you come to our camp."

"I see… so if we get a call from you, we need to go to this… camp of yours," Carlisle concluded. Bella and Percy nodded, looking at each other.

"Yeah, so if you can help us out by giving us some information, that'll help out. Thank you for Allying with us." Bella said, then stood up, "We need to head out… as soon as we hear about who it is, we will contact you."

My family and I nodded, looking at each other. We all had a million questions in our eyes, but held them in.

"See you," Esme said kindly, and we said our goodbyes, watching in awe as they all held hands, running into the shadows.

Disappearing out of sight.

So… how did you like it? IT TOOK FOREVER! So, I have Friday off, so I will type that day too.
