Secrets

Chapter 8 - Attacked

-Bella POV-

As soon as we got to camp, I stalked off away from my friends.

If I told you where I went… you might as well try and kill me right there. I went into the forest without any weapon, have giving my sword to Percy.

"What are you doing out here?" I heard a soft voice asked. I turned around to see Juniper amongst the Juniper trees.

"I wish I could say the same thing about you, but to answer your question… I don't know," I admitted, sitting down on a nearby rock.

Juniper sighed and walked over to sit by me, "You do know that being out here alone is dangerous," Juniper told me.

I nodded, and looked at a tree about ten meters off. "I know, but I just need to get over this feeling… that everything is going to go terribly wrong," I explained, turning to look at her.

"I don't understand? What does it feel like?" Juniper asked me with quizzical eyes.

"Like … what would you feel if Grover broke up with you? And he told you, while breaking up with you, that he never loved you. How would you feel?" I asked, and Juniper closed her eyes for a second, trying to imagine it.

"I don't know what I'd do… I defiantly think I would consider suicide. But you better not," Juniper said, taking my hand and wrapping a vine around it playfully.

"Don't worry, I won't kill myself," I said, smiling at her. I stood up, unwrapped the vines and headed to leave, but before I did, "You don't go killing yourself either, Juniper."

I could hear Juniper's laugh that sounded like bells the whole time walking back. She always could make me feel better, and I knew that if that day comes where Grover and her get in a fight… I'll be right there with her, helping. I'm pretty sure Percy will do the same with Grover, too.

Walking back to my cabin, with the moonlight shining down on me, I felt this… presence. I felt something watching me, and stalking me. Now, that creped me out.

"Beeeelllllllaaaa…" the wind seemed to call my name, and all of the sudden I felt dizzy. Wobbling, I tried to run as far as I could toward my cabin before I passed out.

Then, as you could assume, darkness took over my life, once again.

-Percy POV-

I woke up, looking a the bunk below me. No one was there. Either Bella didn't come back last night, or she decided to get an early start.

I took out a blue tee shirt, my camp one being dirty… but with blood this time, and I threw on some simple jeans.

I put my shoes on, grabbed riptide, and went to open the door when someone opened it for me. There, at the door, was wild looking Grover. His eyes looked like he has been crying, and his face showed the one of only a pure worried person.

"Woah, Grover, what happened?" I asked, trying to look past him. I saw a pool of blood, and walked out of my cabin, "Who's blood is this?"

"We need to go to the infirmary," Grover started, his voice out of breath, "Its Bella."

My eyes went wide, and I bolted to the infirmary, sprinting through the door. I saw a crowd of half bloods, and knowing who's name they where mumbling, I shooed them away.

Annabeth and Thalia where constantly trying to keep her temperature down while Chiron was working his magic on her.

"Percy!" Annabeth exclaimed, looking relieved, "We need help."

I got down on one knee like I was proposing, but that was the height I needed to keep up. I took a cold cloth and got her arms cold, making her feel colder… or her temperature go down.

"Edward….. I love ….. Edward… need …. Edward….." she was mumbling those words over and over, making me think that there was something seriously wrong with her. She'd never say these words, well lately she wouldn't.

"Bella, wake up," I said, trying to get her conscious, "Bella, your friends are with you."

She kept on mumbling out to Edward, and Thalia, Annabeth, and I looked at each other. Something was going to be bad, yet happen… soon… all very soon.

"I am finished, I believe that is all I can do for Bella at the time being," Chiron said, and walked out of the room, making all of the extra campers walk out with him. We all needed time alone.

"Leave her be," Thalia said, making Annabeth and I stop trying to cool her. "Her temperature is normal and steady."

I nodded and stopped trying to cool the crap out of her. Annabeth and I scooted next to each other, and she laid her head on my chest, closing her eyes. I played with her curls for a bit, and then I looked up to see an amused Thalia.

"If Aphrodite saw this, she'd have a field day," Thalia said, smiling. "But I'm pretty sure she keeps an eye on her favorite couple."

I smiled at her and nodded, making sure I wouldn't jostle Annabeth. "But I have heard that Bella and Edward gave you guys a run for your money… always scared of hurting each other, and just trying to love. Apparently it was hard," Thalia mumbled, no doubt remembering the golden days…

A few minutes later, I saw the eyelids of my older sister flutter and Thalia was right next to her, checking her vitals on a magic scanner that Chiron has, that Apollo's children probably gave him.

"Hey Bella," Thalia whispered, and looked at me then to Annabeth.

I nodded, understanding. I leaned down to whisper into Annabeth's ear, "Annabeth, wake up. Bella's awake."

Annabeth's eyes fluttered open, like Bella's had done not too long before her. "She's awake?" Annabeth asked, looking tired. She yawned a bit, causing me to laugh.

"Yeah, look for yourself if you don't believe me," I said, gesturing to Bella being checked by Thals. Annabeth got off my lap and went to Bella's bedside.

"She's okay, Percy," Thalia smiled, putting the scanner back under the bed.

"Good," I smiled, and sat on Bella's bedside. Bella looked at me, smiled a bit, than took my hand in hers.

"H-Hey, Percy," Bella croaked, smiling at me, "How long have I been out?"

I rustled her hair a bit, smiling. "A day… more or less," I said, and Bella nodded in understanding.

"Listen Percy, I just didn't fall to get here… something attacked me, and it knew my name…" Bella went on, describing what happened the night before.

My eyes went wide at the descriptive nature of the thing that attacked Bella. It either was something that worked for Kronos, or something way worse.

"We need to consider there being a new war," Bella said, squeezing her eyes closed, "And we need to consider calling the Cullen's."

"If you don't want to, we don't have to tell them about this…" but I knew that we have to. I had to stop talking myself out of things… something attacked Bella, putting her in the infirmary, and I have to do everything in my power to make sure that won't happen again.

"Percy, we have to call the Cullen's," Bella said, "I think there may be vampire involved."

OH SNIPE! They have to call the Cullen's! Well, if you want more, review!
