Chapter 20- They're Here

Edward POV-

I was in the Hestia cabin, looking out the window. I was shocked, knowing that a whole army of newborns were going to be invading Manhatten, trying to get to Olympus. I honestly can't grasp the fact that my Bella, out of all people, is a daughter of Poseidon.

I'm proud of her, too. She had gone through so much, I'm really impressed. My family was hit hard in the gut when we saw how Bella would put herself up to danger, including going ahead and fighting a offensive force head on.

I don't want to see the day that I get told that she won't be coming back. Goodness, I don't want her to ever leave me… stranded here. But at the same time… I know that it's for what's best. Bella doesn't deserve to be damned to this life here. It's not fair.

"Edward?" I heard Carlisle's voice ask. I must've been too caught up in my own thoughts to hear his.

"Yeah?"

"I was just checking up on you… I thought you might not be taking the news so well…" He wandered off, and I smirked in his direction.

"I'm fine. It's just that… everything and everyone is all different than I thought it or they would be… I'm starting to really grasp who I am too." It's true. My life has really changed in the past few weeks. Finding out who my mother really is… I'm really surprised.

"You just didn't know who your mother really was. Same with my father… all this time I had thought my father was a priest, a vocal one at that, and now… I find out my father is Apollo, god of the sun? You must guess how much my thought process has changed.

"I know how that feels. I remember how my mom was dying from Spanish influenza, but then I caught it. We looked and acted so much alike… but how would that work?" I thought aloud, completely forgetting I was actually speaking. Carlisle nodded, looking wary as he thought over all of the possible ways that it was possible.

"I guess they disguised you?" Carlisle asked, and I could see it go through his head. I smiled, and thanked him.

"You know… I have to go find the others."

"You read my mind."

We walked out of the cabin, looking for our family. Usually, since campers are just starting to wake up, you'd find us at the dining pavilion, going ahead and trying to blend in… but you can guess it never really works.

I spotted Rosalie and Alice, sitting alone at the table that was for visitors… so we used it. "Hey guys," Alice spoke, not too loud, yet not too quiet either. Heck, if she whispered, I could hear her. I guess this is what happens when we're surrounded by humans.

"Hi Alice, Rose." I nodded to Rose, using that as a greeting. Alice and I are really close, and compared to me and Rosalie… well, let's just say with that relationship change, Rosalie could be a stranger, while Alice could be my wife. But I don't like her that way…

"Edward, Alice saw some things about the Newborn Army," Rosalie said, looking at both me and Carlisle.

"Alice, what did you see?" Carlisle asked, looking at her intently. Alice and I locked eyes, and I read her

+mind.

The Newborn Army had about 50 newborns in the whole army. I saw evil looking monsters, much to horrifying to really describe. I have a feeling they were ancient… from even before the Hercules, Theseus, and Perseus days.

Then the vision changed.

Alice was running into a room, just in time to see me be stabbed. Bella screamed, taking on the man who stabbed me.

Their battle looked like a dance to the death, each movement had a meaning, and it was meant to kill the other. Bella took a slash to the cheek, my stomach tightened at the thought, but she slashed back, but instead of just slaying, she butted the man in the jaw.

The fight raged on, but I noticed others against the wall. Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, and Grover were all chained to separate boulders, each had a different tint to them, feeding them different drugged energy.

Bella took a fatal step, falling backward, and the man used that. He slashed, while Bella dodged and stuck her sword into the man's stomach.

She was holding there, not falling with the sword in the stomach. She wrenched it up, making the cut even more deep and long, I think hitting the heart.

Then the vision went black.

I looked at the table in horror, shocked at what I saw. "What time…?" I asked Alice, not really sure if she at+ally knew or not.

"4:00 p.m. today." Alice said, her voice as dull as the color gray. Truth to be told, the woman hated that color.

"Do we have time to prepare?" Carlisle asked, already standing up. I could tell he was going to go talk with Chiron. I have a feeling Alice told Rose, who told Carlisle the vision. I could see it. It was worse with the whole actual vision than the person telling you…

"Yes. In the vision it showed everyone well ready and prepared."

Carlisle nodded, and went off to speak with Chiron.

Bella POV-

I woke up to my brother's snoring. It was worse than the alarm, all because you can't get it to stop.

"SHUT UP PERCY!" I screamed in his ear, causing the goof to wake up. "Rise and shine water boy."

Percy wiped his eyes and sat up on his bed, taking the cabin all in. he sighed, and relaxed his head on the back board of the bunk.

"The dream was too good to be true." Percy sighed, closing his eyes. "I dreamt that Annabeth and I were getting married."

"You're too young." I told him, standing up. "And besides… I have a real bad feeling about today, so I guess we should start getting ready for something big. A Newborn Army perhaps?"

"What about all those monsters fighting with them?" Percy asked, "Are we just going to let those take over Olympus?"

"No… I have a feeling the rest of the campers would feel fit to take care of those," Bella explained, "We, who trained to fight to Newborns, will be the ones who actually fight the Newborns."

"Okay, whatever you say, boss."

"Shut up Percy."

"I had a feeling you'd say that."

Percy and I found out that the Newborns were going to attack today from Chiron… I can't say I'm not surprised. Well, we planned the attack out with Jasper and Annabeth, who knew where and when we had to be… everywhere.

Now I know one thing's for sure… I could never be a battle strategist. Ever. It's just too much for my thoughts to really take.

The group who trained with us yesterday would be the people fighting against the vampires and m-nsters, while the others would not be able to… in fact, if they were to engage one… let's just say they'd be in trouble.

At the Big House, we got everyone filled in on what was happening. Clarisse and Chris were going to lead the Ares cabin, even though he was a Hermes kid, we figure they really don't need him anyways.

We had everyone aboard with the attack plan, and they all understood that they couldn't engage a Newborn too. But Thalia gave them the basics incase it comes down to that.

We all piled up in camp vans, and Argus lead a giant caravan to Manhatten. According to some people on Olympus Morpheus decided to put the whole Manhatten people to sleep, but before that, he turned off all power in the area. And having all humans go in doors.

All of the campers and vampires gathered together and listened to Percy. "Same groups go to the same places as last battle. We held to together pretty well last time.

"The newborns group will stay here… they will be coming this way- straight to Olympus."

Everyone nodded and headed off in the vans to their places. This time we were aware of everything- placements, weaknesses, strengths, and even some new surprises.

It ended up that we got ready for the attack, putting armor on, stalking up on nectar and ambrosia.
"Bella."

I turned around to see Edward, looking at me with an emotion I forgot about a long time ago. Love. "What's up?" I asked, getting my armor secure around my waist.

"You do not have to worry about me… just remember not to worry." He told me, being rather cryptic with his words. My eyebrows wrinkled in confusion.

"Why would I worry about you?" I asked, not in a snotty way, but more heartfelt. I could tell he understood my meaning.

"Just… understand what I'm saying okay? Don't worry."

He stalked away before I could say anything. And before I could go after him, I heard a conch horn… and that signaled… oh crap.

They're here.
