Sorry, working on my other story. Enjoy... You already know what I'm going to say so I'm not going to bother with the disclaimer.
And I've been taking a break from writing... Anyway, enjoy.
BPOV
As I drove away, I couldn't help but wonder why Edward is keeping my secret. Not that I'm complaining. I'm happy he didn't leave. But won't he tell his family about me?
I sighed and watched Edward drive away. I kept him in my sights, even though he thought I went away. I was parked in the trees again, just watching, waiting for him to leave. When he did, I started up my car and drove after him, making sure that he was in my sights, and I wasn't in his.
We were going onto a twisty path towards his house I bet. I was right, I could see the tip of a white house so I stopped and got out. I do not want to explain the fact that I was following Edward. I didn't want to be like one of those freaky stalker chicks.
Closing and locking my car, I crept silently towards the house. I jumped into a tree near the house and listened in on their conversation. I heard Carlisle first.
"So, what happened?" he asked. I smirked to myself. Wouldn't he like to help. I bet Edward was thinking 'Oh yeah she's fine thanks for asking. By the way, it ain't my secret to tell to step off it assholes'. Yeah that would go well.
"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," Edward answered, in monotone. I smiled. He kept his promise, I can trust him. I realized Alice was speaking and tuned back in.
"So, did you find out her secret?" the pixie asked. I growled quietly, knowing they wouldn't hear me. All they cared about was my goddamn secret! They have to find out for themselves if they want to know. I pouted and then grinned. Ooo I can torture them with my secret! Yay!
"Yes, I did." Edward said simply. There was a silence and I nearly burst out laughing. This is kind of funny. I know this was killing them, not knowing, especially Rosalie. She wanted me dead. Hehe not going to happen Blondie.
"And...?" Alice asked, drawing out the word into a question. Someone took a deep breath... I'm thinking it was Edward.
"And I'm not going to tell, I promised her," Edward replied. I let out a giggle or two. There was a silence and I heard someone move to the third floor. Climbing the tree, I noticed Edward was in what I'm guessing is his room. He put on some music and lied on his leather couch. Clair de Lune played on his stereo.
I leaned back into my tree, against the tree trunk. One leg was bent at the knee, one hanging off my branch. My head leaned against the rough bark as my eyes slipped closed. My arms were folded across my chest as I relaxed. I probably looked like an anime character with the moon shining down on me.
Suddenly the music was turned off and I opened my eyes. Alice was sitting in front of Edward, her eyes piercing his. 3... 2... 1... Go.
"I was listening to that," Edward mumbled, annoyed. Alice didn't reply just rolled her eyes.
"Come on Edward, tell us her secret," Alice said, begging. I nearly jumped out of my tree to rip her head off. Doesn't she realize I only wanted Edward to know? Edward beat me to it, he was snarling and on his feet, looking down at Alice.
"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!" Edward yelled. My eyes widened and I felt my heart skip a beat. He really is loyal... And.. I blushed and looked up as Alice ran out of his room, into Jasper's arms dry sobbing... Wimp.
Edward huffed angrily and sat back on his couch with his head in his hands. "Just leave us alone..." he mumbled. My heart nearly broke at his face and I couldn't help but move closer.
I was right at the glass wall, and before I knew what I was doing, I knocked on the glass. Edward looked up but I already moved out of the way. I'm an idiot, I almost blew my cover! Edward came to the glass wall and looked out towards the mountains and river. I smiled and went home. Obviously nothing more was going to happen.
I got to my car and drove off peacefully. I arrived home quick enough, the sun was rising and I quickly got into the shower. Washing my hair, I thought of Edward. He stood up for my secret against his family... No one would have done that for me, ever.
Finishing my shower, I shut off the water and stepped out. Wrapping the towel around my body, I looked at myself in the mirror. I smiled and grabbed a pair of regular house scissors. I decided to change up my look a bit.
I bit my lip and started chopping off my hair with the scissors. I cut it till it was at my shoulders and very very choppy. I liked it and looked through my cabinet. I smiled brightly when I spotted the electric blue hair dye.
Grabbing the bottle, I started putting in blue streaks. Only two, one of each side so it was framing my face. I smiled and skipped out of the bathroom in to my room. (If you've ever seen Lizard Lick Towing on truTV and Amy's hair, that's how it looks, only electric blue and longer, a bit more choppier)
I grabbed my cell and took a picture of me, then sent it to Hades. I went into my closet and tapped my index finger on my chin in thought. I pulled out some clothes and set them on my bed to look over the possible outcomes of the outfits. I looked over them carefully, then clapped happily.
I figured that I would wear a red and black dress that had a bow looking thing on the front, with a studded red and black checkered belt. With the outfit, I chose spiked black heels. I put the left over clothes back into my closet and went out to get my backpack. I was dressed, washed, and ready to go, so I went out to my garage and looked at the cars and motorcycles.
I decided to go with a Yamaha R15 2011. Black of course. Grabbing my helmet and black leather jacket, I rode off to the school. I didn't realize that I was running later than I thought, so when I got there, everyone turned to stare at me.
Dammit all to Hades, can't they get used to something different in this town? The answer? No, no they cannot. All the guys were staring, drooling at me. They knew that it was a girl riding the bike, but they didn't know it was me. That is a fact that comforted me.
I parked next to the silver Volvo and tugged off my helmet, hearing wolf whistles coming from all the guys. Disgusting pigs. Edward got out of the Volvo and stood next to me as I got all my stuff. I smiled up at him and he smiled back.
Our little moment however, was ruined by a certain pixie of a vampire named Alice. She sprung up in front of me and Edward, hands on her hips with her wide eyes narrowed into 'scary' slits. I rolled my own eyes at her and relaxed my posture, leaning against my bike coolly.
"Listen Swan, I want to know what's up with you! I know you aren't a human, so spill!" she shrieked. I used my pinkie finger to clear my ears of the ringing Alice made. Then I looked at Edward... Needless to say, he was seething with rage.
I took the chance to look at what he was wearing and nodded. Classy. He was wearing a black button down shirt and regular black jeans with black converse.
Looking back at Alice, I saw that she was wearing a pink halter dress that looked like it was for prom and pink heels. I shook my head at her and sighed.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm as human as humanly possible. If you don't mind, I'll actually like to get to class," I said coolly. I stepped passed the pixie and walked forward. I heard Edward follow me, I smiled. He grabbed my hand and towed me to the front office.
"Wait here," he mumbled as he went in, leaving me outside. I sighed and leaned against the wall next to the door, waiting for Edward like a good girl. Keh, yeah right. What good girl? Last I checked, the daughter of Hades, is not a good girl.
I heard Edward come out and he showed me his schedule. It was exactly like mine! YAY! I squealed, jumping up and down. Not a good idea when wearing heels.
Edward and I started walking towards class, when a unfamiliar car came into the parking lot. Edward and I stopped and watched the car. It parked next to my baby, I glared. However, they seemed to be careful and whoever was driving, made sure not to get anywhere near the bike so it wouldn't be damaged.
I looked at Edward and he shrugged, I looked back at the car to see two people getting out of the red Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. There was a male and a female. They walked next to each other, holding hands and smiling brightly.
As I looked closer, I gasped. They too were Demigods. They seemed to notice me and they froze. Then the pair looked at each in fright, with worry. The female bit her pink lip, looking back at me with her deep brown eyes, that held a little yellow in the depths. Her hair was also brown, wavy like mine, but more tame. Hers was down to the top of her ass and as she walked, it would sway as if it was alive. She had a slim body, kind of average. Damn we looked almost alike! Then again, no we didn't, she was taller, but not as tall as the male.
The man had blond hair and blue eyes. He also had the body any girl would want. I saw girls fanning themselves, staring at the new arrival. The male was hugging the girl close to him, his stance was protective. I could see her instantly relaxing into his hold, but she was still tense. Though I think it was from all the guys drooling over her like meat.
The two newbies started walking towards me and Edward. Edward growled and stood in front of me, as if they would hurt me. I knew these two, but they didn't know me. They knew I was daughter of Hades, that's it.
When the man and girl got to us, everyone was silent. The girl, well, she was gripping the guy's hand for dear life, hiding behind him, she was blushing pink. So she's shy? I smiled and the guy grinned back slightly, pulling the female to him.
"Hello, I'm Thomas," the male said. I looked at the girl who was shuffling her feet along the wet ground. She seemed to feel our stares since she looked up and blushed.
"My name is Diana," she murmured, so quietly I barely heard her. Thomas looked at me and so did Diana, her eyes suddenly filled with alertness. They were both tense, waiting for an attack from any monsters. So was I.
"I'm Bella and this is Edward," I said, gesturing to the vampire in front of me. They looked at Edward and sighed in relief I guess. They also know about the Cold Ones and they know that they can't hurt our kind. Diana and Thomas nodded in greeting and looked at the front office.
I saw Diana looked at Thomas and he smiled down at her. They seemed to be in love... It was, actually really beautiful. The two went into the front office and I dragged Edward to class.
"Bella, what was that?" Edward asked, looking over his shoulder. I smiled at him.
"I'll tell you when we get to class my sweet," I grinned. My sweet? Where the hell did that come from? Edward smiled back brightly and we went into the class. Me and him sat in the back where we wouldn't be disturbed.
I took out a sheet of paper and used my shield to block Alice's power. I heard her growl in annoyance, I snickered. Edward looked down at me with amusement as I started writing something. I passed Edward the note.
(Bella=Bold/Edward=Italics)
The two new arrivals, they are Demigods. I wrote. He read it over and got a confused look on his face. He wrote quickly since the teacher already started class up.
Really? They don't have your same scent. Thomas smelled like medicine and heat, Diana smelled of lightning and rain. He replied. I stifled a laugh and smiled to myself. I must have not hidden my laugh well because Mrs. Gomen turned from the chalk board where she was writing notes. I acted innocent, looking like I was copying the words she was writing on the board.
We all have a different scent. Mine is fire, power, and dirt because I lived in Hell. Diana is daughter of Zeus so she smells like that. Thomas is son of Apollo, God of medicine, bachelors, the sun, and music. Also poetry and prophecy. Zeus.. Well you should know about Zeus. I wrote back. He read it over quickly, comprehension lighting his features.
Oh, okay. So why do they seem so afraid of you? Again I tried to stifle my laughter, and this time it worked.
They probably think I'm like my dad, cold and heartless. Not that I blame them or anything. After all, no one would know much about him. He always seems so cold and distant, when really he's a sweetheart and very nice... But that's just to me, Persephone, and Cerberus.
Alrighty then. He finished.
I saw Mrs. Gomen walking around so I grabbed the paper and put it back into my binder. I then spent the rest of the class pretending to read the chapters we are reading.
Class passed slowly, since I was watching the clock over the edge of my book. Edward was basically knocked out, though that's kind of impossible. He had his head down on the desk, the book covering his head. It seriously looked like he fell asleep. I giggled quietly, watching him. I was tempted to use my black permanent marker on him again but didn't get the chance.
Why you ask? It's because of that damn fucking loud bell! Edward jolted up, sending the book into the air. I started to laugh while he growled. I grabbed my bag and walked out the door, Edward beside me, suppressing a smile. He knew it was funny.
We went into History and there sat the two newbies. Diana's head snapped up from Thomas's. She was whispering in his ear about something and Thomas was staring at her with wide, love filled eyes.
Diana was looking right at me, her brown and yellow eyes wide and now full of alertness.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you," I whispered, knowing she could hear me. I saw her nod slightly and relax into the arms of Thomas. I sat at the desk behind them and Edward next to me. Thomas turned around and looked at me through slightly narrowed eyes.
I happen to notice that his hair is darker than this morning... Not blond. Diana was running her hands through it smiling lightly, and she kissed his cheek. I also noticed that Diana had a tattoo on her wrist. It was a rose that had a script that said 'Leo'. Leo? As in the sign? Looking at Thomas's wrist, I wasn't disappointed. On his wrist was a Scorpio sign that had roses on it. They marked themselves for each other, showing that they only belong to that other person. Smart.
Diana followed my gaze and tugged on Thomas. They faced the front, but had their heads bent so they could whisper to each other quietly. I didn't listen to Mr. Lonard at all. Hell I didn't even know what the subject was on.
All I know is that I'm hoping that Diana, Thomas, and I can become good friends. I don't want any enemies here...
Hey sorry it took so long. I was taking a break from writing... Apparently a long break.
And I would like to thank my boyfriend for inspiring the role of Thomas. Actually that's what he wanted me to call him, yet I don't. :) And Diana is well... Inspired by you should know.
Please review. I'm kind of nervous about this chapter.
