Hey people. Thanks for being patient while I typed up the chapter. I know I said that I would update more often during Spring Break but I forgot how much homework I had.
Anyway, thanks for the wait. I do not own Twilight or the Greek gods.
BPOV (Bella)
I heard everyone's jaw hit the ground in shock as I looked down, kicking a loose pebble across the ground with the toe of my shoe. I didn't want to see their faces at the confession.
"What?" Alice asked slowly. I sighed and my head hung.
"Victoria is my sister, okay! My own sister is trying to kill me alright!" I said as I ran off. I knew I had tears in my eyes as I ran towards town, towards my house. I got in there no trouble and noticed how much of a mess it was. With a wave of my hand and the word 'clean' muttered in Ancient Greek, my house was cleaned quickly.
I felt a small nudge against my cheek and saw the black muzzle of Blackstar. I smiled weakly at him and rubbed his nose lovingly.
"Hey, I'm sorry boy, I didn't mean to scare you," I murmured. It was then I noticed his broken wing in a white sling "Oh my dear sweet Blackstar, your graceful wing is broken!" I gasped in horror. I was at his flank instantly and he rolled his eyes at me as if to say, It's nothing Bella, I'm stronger than that! I rolled my eyes at him back and whimpered. "Oh Blackstar, you are injured," I whimpered as I placed my hand at the base of his broken wing. My hand glowed a dim red as I heard the bones in his wing snap back into place.
With a whine Blackstar stiffened then relaxed when it was all over. I smiled and pat his newly repaired wing. I took off the sling and he flapped it experimently before nodding happily. I sighed, my sad mood back, which Blackstar instantly picked up on.
He gave me a look that said, What's wrong Bella? I sighed and looked down again, feeling Blackstar wrap his newly healed wing around me bringing me closer to his flank. I smiled at him slowly and we sat in the living room.
"It was Victoria Blackstar, remember her? She was the one who had those vampires steal me," I said, staring at the roaring fire. Blackstar placed his head on mine, giving me the comfort I needed. Leaning against his side, I was sucked into a flashback.
Flashback
I screamed in laughter as I ran through the castle of the Underworld. Dad was following behind me, walking calmly. He stared at me before smiling.
"Bella get back here!" he called. I turned around and raced back to Dad's side. Hades smiled down at me and kneeled in front of me, his hand on my head. "My Dear, you must act more sophisticated. Your uncle, Zeus, is waiting in the throne room for me, so he can you meet you my sweet daughter. Follow the Hell Hound to your room to change out of your clothes, okay?" he explained. I smiled and nodded.
"Yes Daddy!" I said. I was maybe seven but this was the first time I was meeting my uncle. He never comes down to Hell, because he's always up in Olympus. I nodded and ran off after the Hell Hound to my room to change my outfit. Dad wanted my clothes to be nicer for Uncle Zeus. I went to my closet and looked through it. Since I get my clothes from my outside world and don't wear the Greek togas. Grabbing an Alexander McQueen black stretch dress with a tiered ruffle trim. I looked through my shoes and sighed. What to choose what to choose. I finally decided on a pair Mcq By Alexander Mcqueen lace black platform lace up booties.
I looked in the mirror and thought something was missing. Suddenly one of Persephone came into my room and saw me.
"Oh, you look beautiful. But you are missing something. Oh I know!" she exclaimed as she dragged me to my mirror, sitting me down. I closed my eyes, knowing that she was doing my make up and hair. After a while, she squealed. "All done!"
I opened my eyes and smiled happily when I saw myself. My hair was pulled back and fell in loose, soft curls down my back, showing off my black sweet swirls earrings, and on top my head was my black swan jeweled tiara that was made for me when I was a baby still. Persephone made my eyeliner look like I have cat eyes with soft black eyeshadow with a soft brown highlighting my eyes, my mascara light. She used a soft pink lip gloss that makes my lips look nice.
I smiled at Persephone. "It's perfect," I squealed, hugging her. She hugged me back and we went to the throne room. When we got to the throne room, we stood straight, though I hated it so much. Persephone squeezed my hand in comfort and we waited to be announced.
I heard Dad's voice talking to Uncle Zeus, announcing us in. Persephone opened the heavy wooden doors and went inside, her black lace dress swirling around her. I followed her slowly, looking at my feet, suddenly nervous at meeting the King of the gods. I heard Dad's voice say proudly, "And here is my daughter, Isabella." I looked up slowly, blushing looking up into the stormy eyes of my uncle. I felt his eyes raking over me, analyzing me.
I was uncomfortable under his gaze, keeping my back straight, shuffling my feet. I heard Zeus speak. "Brother, your daughter is a beauty, for a Demigod," he said. I stiffened and my eyes started to glow. For a Demi god? What the hell was that supposed to mean? Just because I'm half-blooded doesn't make me less than the gods and goddesses in Olympus. Clenching my fists, I kicked my feet, bringing me up into the air behind my uncle.
I backflipped, happy at the fact that I decided to wear black shorts under my dress so no one had a chance at seeing my underwear. My heeled feet came in contact with Zeus' back, catching him by the element of surprise, making him go down easily. I stood on his chest glaring down at the man.
"This is the Kind of the Greek gods? Feh, nothing more than a weakling," I taunted. "If you truly are the almighty, powerful Zeus, stand up and fight!" I challenged, jumping back, landing in my fighting position. I knew I taunted him enough to make him beyond angry. Dad was shaking his head at me but didn't stop me from fighting. Zeus stood and glared at me.
"Insolent girl!" he yelled, his hands forming lightning bolts in his palms. I smirked happily as I stood calmly. He threw the bolt at me but I neatly dodged. My hands were behind my back as I grinned. He was growing more and more angry at me, though I was having so much fun. I laughed as he tried to hit me with another bolt, which made me jump onto the walls, running along them as he continued to throw the lightning. I jumped off the wall, kicking myself into a side spin.
Zeus didn't see it coming as I landed a kick on the side of his face, bringing him down. I landed back next to Dad's side and he was laughing out loudly. I felt pride, knowing I made my father happy. Zeus stood up and glared at me, then noticed me standing next to Hades with my head high. He must of figured out that I was only showing Dad what I learned and that I can best myself against a god.
Suddenly, the window crashed and a soul entered the throne room holding a scroll. It gave the scroll to Dad who unrolled it and read what the scroll had to say. I looked over his shoulder. I can't help it, I'm naturally curious.
It said. "Greek god, Hades, you have a daughter named Victoria Plameci. She is ten years old and is waiting with Charon at the entrance of your relm." The soul left the throne room and the window repaired itself. Dad looked at me and I looked back.
He motioned for me and Persephone to follow behind him to the entrance of the Underworld. We left Zeus standing in the throne room, but this was important. Taking out his whistle, Hades whistled, calling Charon for him to pick us up.
He came less than a minute, knowing not to keep the God of the Underworld waiting. I looked up at Dad, worried. Was he going to replace me with this new arrival? Persephone and I climbed into the boat after Dad and we waited to get to the entrance. I saw the girl named Victoria standing at the docking area. She definately had the air of a Hades' daughter.
She was wearing a black Firma Berlin oversize t-shirt blouse that exposed her stomach, also exposed her bloody bite me belly button piercing. I shuddered lightly, but didn't say anything. She was also wearing Helmut Lang black foil-wash leather effect skinny jeans. Her feet were encased by her Alexander McQueen heart peep toe skull pumps. At least they were Alexander McQueen but they were disgusting. As we got closer to her, I could see that her lips were bright red and her eyes were dark. I tried to make myself smaller. The scroll said that she was ten, but it looked like she was eighteen, a scary eighteen year old. I gulped as we got out of the ferry boat. Her hair was a firey red, which made me feel smaller, her hair was blown back gently, exposing her dagger earrings.
"You are Victoria?" Dad asked, standing tall. She nodded and popped her gum.
"Yeah, you Hades?" Victoria asked with a snobbish tone. Before Dad could reply, I butted in.
"Watch your tone! He's a Greek god, not to mention your supposed father! Show respect!" I said, defending my dad even though I knew he could take care of himself. Victoria's vivid green eyes flashed to my boring brown ones, though they were highlighted with my eye make up. Her gaze grew cold when she saw my tiara, marking me princess of the Underworld.
"And who are you pipsqueak?" Victoria sneered. Dad obviously proud of me for defending his honor and me being loyal, got mad. I placed my hand on his arm to stop him from doing anything. I gave Dad a look that said, 'this one's mine!'
I turned to face Victoria and smirked. "My name is Isabella, daughter of Hades and Renee Swan, a Demi god. And I'm your worst nightmare," I sneered setting my feet apart, eyes becoming clouded, almost like I'm blind. Victoria laughed and stepped forward. Obviously she never had training. This should be easy. The vibrations Victoria sent through the ground made me able to sense where she stood exactly and I kept my eyesight off. Eyes can betray you, you have to concentrate on your surroundings. I felt more vibrations as Victoria took another step towards me, leaving her weak spots open. Smirking, I ran in and used my index and middle fingers only to puncture her weak points.
I imagined that she became a jelly like being, but there was one more spot. I jabbed the back of her neck just enough to paralyze her for the time being. My eyesight cleared up and I was standing next to Dad again. He was beaming with pride once more and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"Not a hair out of place. You've been training quite well, my precious daughter," Dad praised. Glowing pride ran through me and I smiled brightly. Dad motioned for Charon to take Victoria back to the world above and that was the last I saw her, until I was fifteen.
Flashback Ends
My eyes snapped open when Blackstar neighed in my ear. I looked out the window and noticed that the sun was rising above the horizon. Seems Artemis finished her job as the moon for tonight. I must have fallen asleep during my flashback.
My first meeting with Victoria was not pleasent at all! I stood up and turned towards the window, looking at the sun rising. I waved at Apollo and saw him wave back from his carriage. Smiling I turned to go upstairs with Blackstar following.
I decided that I wouldn't go to school today, it was Friday anyway. I got dressed in sweat pants and a heart yin-yang tank top that said "wild at heart."
I climbed into bed and sighed. "Hopefully I can get passed this," I murmured and fell asleep, one hand on Blackstar's mane, who decided to be a weird and climbed into bed next to me. Thank God my bed still stood, I curled into his flank, his wing wrapped protectively around me.
I drifted off into dreamland.
Well there it is! This chapter is done and done! We got to see some pride Hades has for Bella and the closeness of Blackstar and Bella! :)
Hope it was good for you guys.
Please review. Or I'll send the souls after you!
