EPOV
We sat in the middle of the meadow, Bella in front of me. Our knees almost touched, I could feel the body heat coming from her. It was warm and kind of nicem, the feeling on my cold skin. She was playing with her hair, twirling it around her finger and tugging at it. It was kind of cute.
"What are you Bella?" I asked, my curiousity getting the better of me. She smiled... Slightly.
"Promise you won't say anything to your family?" she asked. I nodded quickly. I'll do anything for her... Okay well, maybe not anything, but you get my point. "You promise not to judge me?" Again, I nodded. I could never judge her. This is who she is and I won't judge that. Her eyes looked down and her voice rang clear in my ears. "I'm a Demi God, half human, half God. "I am daughter of Hades and a human named Renee. I never met her, nor do I want to. She abandoned me on the footstep of Hell... Literally," she said.
She never met her mother? What about Hell? The Greek Gods can't be real! Well, if vampires are real, why can't other mythical beings be?
"Hell?" I asked. Honestly, I think I knew it was real, but I never wanted to confirm it. Well, now its out of my hands... I think. She nodded with some sort of amusement on her face.
"Otherwise known as the Underworld, World of the Dead," she said, mockingly as she ticked the names off her fingers. I rolled my eyes at her foolishness and smiled slightly. She looked so free, now that her secret is out in the open.
I promised I wouldn't tell anyone and that's exactly what I'm going to do! I won't betray her. Bella looked around, as if searching for something. With a satisfied face, she turned back to me with a smile.
"So I've lived in Hell for my whole life, dealing with passing souls of the dead... The only fun time is when you are torturing them," she grumbled. I nearly choked at the mention of torturing souls. How is that even possible? My eyes widened. Then, I had to fight the urge to laugh.
"Torture them?" I asked, trying to not laugh. She nodded with a smirk.
"Yes torture souls. I have my own way, but I'm not going to tell you, because if I did, I would have to kill you," she said with a wide smirk. I'm pretty sure my eyes were the size of saucers before my lips turned into a smirk. She can't effin kill me. I'm a vampire, sure she is daughter of Hades but I bet I'm stronger than her.
"Bella, you can't kill me. I'm a-" I stopped myself in time, locking my lips together. Her smirk only grew. That can't be good. She's a very smug person for a teenager.
"You're a vampire, I know," Bella said with a laugh. I nearly fainted in shock, and I didn't even think that was possible.
"H-How did you know?" I managed to say. She pressed her lips together, yet a giggle escaped her lips. Even in my panicked thoughts it was beautiful.
"I knew ever since I first saw you," she said with a grin. I was about to faint... Again. I guess that made her start to full out laugh. She was clutching her stomach, rolling on the ground, and tears were falling from her eyes. I am so happy I can't blush anymore.
"Can we please get back to talking about you?" I asked. I was desperate to get the subject back onto her. I waited while she calmed herself. Then she nodded and continued talking about her life.
"Anyway, I learned everything there is to need to know about the world, I learned how to fight with the help of Hades and Persephone. She's like my own mother, since I didn't have one when I grew up. Persephone hated Hell, but when I came, she grew closer to Hades and finally admitted to herself that she loved him. I was happy to have a mother, even if it wasn't by blood," she continued. I smiled at that, happy she had a mother figure.
Actually, I really want to meet her parents. I want to meet the people that made her who she is today.
"Anyway, I never left the Underworld till I first came here or the occasional updating on this world. Really, I'm not that interesting," she said with a lyish grin. I shook my head at her.
"Actually, I find this quite interesting. I never knew the Greek Gods were actually real!" I exclaimed loudly. She smiled and laughed. Then she sighed and leaned back on her hands, her head rolling back, showing her neck. Igripped onto my wrist to keep myself from reaching for the delicate skin that lay over the muscle and veins of her throat.
"It can be awesome at times. Like, having powers and whatnot. I have the power to control fire, souls, minds, etc etc. However, there are terrible times to. For example, being in danger by the monsters, such as a Fury. Also, since I'm daughter of the most hated God ever, I am banned from Olympus. Well, not really banned, I'm just unwelcome," she said, her eyes closed.
I froze at this information. At this, I was having trouble taking in the newly found information. I felt a little pressure on my face buit didn't think anything of it. My eyes were closed and I was thinking over everything.
She's the daughter of Hades, Lord of the Underworld. She's half God half human and she never even knew her birth mother. Persephone acted as her motherly figure and Bella tortured souls while in the World of the Dead. Nice.
My eyes opened and I saw Bella looking at my face, her hand in her pocket as she tried not to laugh. My face felt like there was something on it, but what?
"Why does my face feel like there is something on it?" I asked. She shrugged and pressed her lips together tightly. I glared at her playfully and ran to the river nearby. I shrieked when I saw my reflection. No not because it scared me but because there was a black marker mustache on my upper lip, a heart on my cheek and wire-rim glasses surronding my eyes. "What the hell happened to my face?" I screamed. I sounded like a girl but I don't care!
But Bella did and naturally, she bursted out laughing her butt off. I turned and glared at her.
"You did this didn't you?" I growled. She nodded and held onto her stomach as she showed me the black marker in her pocket. I rolled my eyes and washed my face off with the river water. Looking back, I nodded in satisfaction, then went back to sit next to Bella. "So can you continue?" I asked. Then something occured to me. "How did you know I was a vampire?" What can I say? My curiosity got the better of me.
She sighed and leaned against me. Her head was on my shoulder and she hair tickled my neck. "I had to meet, torture a lot of mythical creatures that did wrong," she whispered. Bella sounded sad about it, but I didn't mind. So she must've met a lot of vampires. I hugged her to my side and put my head on hers.
Taking a sniff of her scent, I smiled. Then I turned serious. "Well, I'm happy you decided to share your secret with me and I promise, I will not tell anyone," I said, promise strong in my voice. Her eyes glittered and I could tell that Bella believed me, since she nodded.
"Thank you," she murmured. I said nothing as we sat there. As it grew dark, my mind was shut down. All that mattered now was that I knew Bella's secret, I wasn't going to tell anyone, and that she was with me now.
It suddenly grew cold as it grew later into the night. Bella shivered and opened her eyes. It was near midnight and she must've been tired. Bella's hand connected with my arm and she shook it lightly. Then she pulled away, I immediantly missed her warmth.
"Edward, we have to get home," she whispered. I nodded, even though I didn't want her to go. So, we walked back to our cars and she giggled. It must be the fact that my car was parked right next to hers. "Well, see you later Edward," she said. I nodded and took her hand.
"Till tomorrow Bella," I whispered. Bringing her hand to my lips, I kissed her knuckles and took a sniff of the blood running through her veins at the moment.
I noticed that she blushed as she got into her car and drove off. Bella waved as she drove past in that sweet car of hers. I stood there, looking after her as she sped out of sight.
With a sigh, I got back into my car and drove home. I should've known that my family was waiting for me at the house, cause as soon as I got through the front door, I was bombed with questions.
Where were you?- Alice
You're emotions are all over the place, what happened? Did you find Bella?- Jasper. I nodded at him and he tensed.
You have her scent all over you, it's disgusting.- Rosalie. I suppressed a growl, instead I glared at her.
"So, what happened?" Carlisle asked. Apparently, they filled him on what happened before school. I sighed and turned to face him.
"After Bella left, I followed her. I was hoping to calm her down. So, after some time, we ended up in the forest and we started talking, that's it," I concluded. They didn't look like they believed me.
"So, did you find out her secret?" Alice asked. I rolled my eyes. Oh she's fine, thanks for asking. Of course all they cared about was the secret.
"Yes, I did." Was all I said. They looked like they were expecting more. Alice rolled her hands in a 'go on' gesture.
"And...?" she asked, drawing out the word.
"And I'm not going to tell, I promised her," I said. Their faces were priceless and so I went up to my room without another word. I lied on my leather couch, Clair de Lune playing softly on my stereo.
My eyes were closed, but I could hear quick, rythmic footsteps coming into my room. Alice turned off my stereo and I sighed.
"I was listening to that," I said. Alice sat on the floor near me and I opened my eyes. She shrugged and looked at me with piercing gold eyes.
"Come on Edward, tell us her secret," she said. My lips turned into a snarl and I was on my feet in a second.
"Will you stop! Bella didn't want anyone but me to know her secret so I'm respecting her wish! I suggest you do the same! So get out of my room and leave me and Bella, ALONE!" I yelled at her. She looked afraid and ran out of my room. I huffed sat on my couch with my head in my hands.
"Just leave us alone," I murmured.
Sorry it took so long to update. I still had writers block. Please review.
