Mkay, this story kinda got out of hand in the chapter after this haha. Anyways, enjoy
Alice POV
I swear, Edward is the biggest asshat on the planet. Making us pack up everything and leave Bella, without so much as a goodbye, claiming she told him she didn't want anything to do with us anymore because of Jasper's slip at her party. Him saying that, putting all the blame on Jasper when it was HIM who couldn't control himself and pushed all of his bloodlust onto poor Jazz...I just feel like ripping off everything with a joint one by one and throwing them individually into a fire, saving his head for last. If Bella hadn't told me we have a brother who's missing, I'd have left the coven; confident that Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper would follow me.
As we get closer to Alaska, I feel a sort of pull getting stronger and stronger, urging me in a certain direction. I feel the pull with Bella, so I'm assuming this pull is coming from Percy. I don't know why us Poseidon children feel this pull to each other; it's never been heard of between demigod children before. I look at Jasper and I can tell he feels the pull through me. He nods his head and once I know nobody would notice me leaving, I start running in the direction I'm being pulled in.
The pull gets almost painful when I reach Hubbard Glacier in the Yukon. The ground started shaking about a minute ago and when I get there, I see three figures laying unconscious in the snow. A girl with cinnamon brown hair, darker skin tone, and a fit body type with scrapes and shallow cuts in various places on her body. A Chinese looking boy who looks like a mini Emmett, body type and all, in about the same condition as the girl. And lastly, a boy with messy black hair with a white streak in the front, tanned skin, built body...and sea green eyes that I know are behind his closed eye lids. This is him...this is Percy.
I see a rainbow glittering in the water and pull out a drachma, tossing it in and saying the prayer. 'O, Iris, goddess of hte rainbow accept my offering. Show me Arabella Jackson.'
The rainbow ripples and I see Bella, the actual Bella, talking to a blonde girl over another IM. The blonde has her hair up in a pony tail and a white streak hanging in her face. Her eyes, from what I can see, are red and puffy; most likely from crying continuously for an extended period of time. There are shadows under them as if she hasn't slept in days. All in all, she must be Percy's girlfriend, Annabeth.
'Bella.'
She spins around with a speed to rival a vampire, her eyes widening when she sees me. 'Alice? What's up, did you find anything?'
'I'm not sure if this is the right guy because I've only seen him in pictures you've shown me...but I think we found him.'
Bella POV
When Alice says she's found Percy, all the air leaves my lungs like a punch in the gut. 'You...you what?'
'I'm not sure. Black hair, pretty well built, has a white strand of hair like her?' Alice describes, pointing to Annabeth before she sighs. 'I followed the pull, but I don't know how this thing works so I'm not 100% sure.'
Annabeth looks about ready to cry until Alice's last sentence registers, making her look confused. 'Pull? What pull?'
'I'll explain later, Anna, but for right now IM Nico and tell him we found Percy. I'm gonna shadow travel and bring him back.'
All Annabeth does is nod before she swipes her hand through the call. 'Where are you, Alice?'
'Hubbard Glacier. He has two others with him and they're all injured. But what I don't understand...you said Camp Halfblood's color is orange, right?' I nod, waiting for her to continue. 'They're all wearing purple...and...' She shakes her head. 'Just come, they're all unconscious.'
'Throw some water on Percy and I'll be right there with some ambrosia and nectar. Are there any shadows nearby?'
'Yeah, I mean we're by a glacier.' Smartass...
I nod. 'Okay, be right there. Thank you so much, Alice.'
'Hurry though. Edward, Carlisle, and Esme must have already noticed I'm missing. Jasper, Emmett, and Rose can't stall them forever; especially if one of them slips up with their thoughts around Edward.' With that, she ends the call.
I pull out a duffel bag from my closet and open it up; my little stash of emergency ambrosia and nectar. I get one Ziploc baggy of ambrosia and one water bottle of nectar before zipping up the duffel and putting it back in the closet. Shadow travel is like having your being separated molecule by molecule and then reconstructed within the shadows. It's not like it's painful, but it makes you queasy until you get used to it; like riding a roller coaster too many times on a full stomach. I follow the pull until I can feel Alice's presence the strongest. It feels like a hook is stuck in my chest, pulling me to my sister and heating up as I get closer.
Arriving at my desired destination, I sprint over to where Alice is waiting with the three unconscious demigods.
'Did you pour water on Percy?' I ask, dribbling nectar into the girl's mouth.
'Yes, I did. I think his body is healing, so his mind is keeping him asleep to prevent him from injuring himself more.' Alice says, glancing at me before looking back at our brother.
I nod, thinking she might be right. After all three have had some nectar, Alice taps my shoulder. 'Bella, look at these.'
She picks up Percy's arm and I see something that wasn't there before. A tattoo of one tally under the letters SPQR with a trident on top. After I see that, I check the other two and see they have the same tattoo except with more tally marks; the girl with the symbol for Pluto and the boy with the symbol for Mars. It can't be true though, can it? I mean, I know the Greek Gods have their Roman aspects, so it makes sense there would be a Roman camp for halfbloods...but what does this have to do with Percy? It just doesn't make sense. And Pluto is the Roman aspect of Hades, does that mean Nico knew about this?
Alice sees me thinking too much into things and leads me to sit down. We spend a few minutes in silence until she speaks. 'Edward told us you said you didn't want us around. That we were too dangerous to be around and that you were scared of Jasper now. I know it's not true...but the thought alone...hurts more than I thought it would...'
I turn and see her face, making my heart break. Tears that I know can't fall fill her eyes and she looks like if she wasn't holding it in, she'd be sobbing. I wrap my arms around her and pull her closer, one hand around her waist, the other on the back of her head. She snuggles into my chest and clings to me as if I'm going to disappear at any second, though I suspect that's exactly what she's thinking is going to happen right now if she lets go. 'You know I would never leave you, right? No matter where you are, I'll always find you.'
She sniffles before letting out a weak chuckle. 'Quoting Prince Charming, are we?'
'Can't help that I'm a Oncer.'
We hear a groan and I look to see Percy and the other two waking up. When Percy sees us, my heart breaks at the lack of recognition in his eyes.
I let out a shaky breath and whisper in a barely audible tone. 'He doesn't remember me.'
I originally planned on having Percy remember Bella as well as Annabeth, but it just didn't work out that way. Like I said, out of hand haha. Hasta luego mi pastelitos, good damn bye
