Andromeda's point of view
Today had been my first day of school at Forks. To say it had been..unusual would have been an understatement. First of all I met Edward and his family. I do not know what they are. Though I know they are not humans or at least normal humans. My suspicions began during lunch when he was staring intently at me. I finally returned his stare after Jessica Stanley, a "friendly" student there, told me he was looking at me. I threw him a look that said "Do you mind?" or at least something like that. He acted rather surprised so I send him a half smirk.
I was actually kind of creeped out, either he was a monster or he was like stalker or something. You see as a demigod you tend to become wary of everyone who gives you creeper looks. Since you don't know if they will start trying to slash you open with a sword or any other type of weapon. Usually the words that gave you a 99.99% certainty that they were a monster were "We been expecting you "or my special favorite, "Andromeda Jackson you smell just like the sea."
I later learned that we shared biology together. As I walked to the teacher to get my slip signed and engaged in a conversation about my dyslexia and ADHD and how he will be there when I needed help. I could feel Edward Cullen following my every move. I also learned that I was his lab partner. Great, but he was nice to me he said, " Hello my name is Edward Cullen and I have to say welcome to our school."
I laughed at the last part and said "Hi my name is Andromeda and thanks for the welcoming." I mean come on no one had told me that yet. They usually just wanted to ask me stalker questions. I enjoyed our conversation and decided that Edward wasn't dangerous to me but he was for sure not a normal human. Also that I was rather fortunate to have him as my partner since he was pretty smart. At the end of the day when I was driving away I could feel the Cullen's gazes boring into my back. Not creepy at all. No seriously, I had worse.
I decided to spend the rest of my day at La Push since one beaches always calmed me down. Also because well I had nothing else to do. Once I got there I immediately went to the sea and just stared at it for a few minutes. I later went into the woods to hike, and see if I could find any tide pools. I had been hiking for a few minutes when all of a sudden I see an ax coming in my direction. I immediately ducked. Thank the gods for ADHD or else I might have not be here telling you this. After getting back up I uncapped riptide.
For I knew it was no freak accident I knew it was a monster. What I saw didn't surprise me, it was my good old friend, the minotaur. It didn't surprise me because I could smell beef a while back but I shrugged it off as a bad hamburger, not the most pleasant smell, you see. So to make the story short I battled him, I won. I almost got skewered though, when I was evading beef man because I saw some of the trees move. You could have shrugged it off as the wind, but I had a feeling it wasn't.
After I rode away in blackjack, I began walking around the cliff that most people jump off of.(A/N it is the one Bella jumped off.) From there I went to walk deeper into the woods. You might think I am crazy walking into some bushes and never coming back but there was just something telling me I should just walk. Until I find whatever it is I want to find.
It was rather late when I saw a clearing through the trees. I heard laughter so I stayed hidden in the underbrush. What I saw was rather interesting, the Cullens were there with some kids from what I assume La Push. The Cullens were laughing when all of the guys launched themselves at a man that was carrying a basket. When they finally let him go and they started to head back to where the Cullens were I saw something that made my heart stop.
Actually it was someone. He had short black hair, deeply tanned and he didn't have a shirt on. And oh man, I was in love, I don't think I can describe the feeling I felt at that moment. The closest thing I could describe it as is that I had lived in darkness all this years and that this handsome man represented the sun. It doesn't matter to me that he was a complete stranger to me, he was the one, he was the one that I would do anything for. The one that I would sacrifice my life for, the one if it was a decision between me and him I would take my own life no choice asked. He was the one that my faith grew for, he took my breath away. Without him I will be nothing, without him I would surely die.
In total it was love at first sight. I didn't break cover though I had to know first what they were talking about. So I waited until they finished eating. The La Push guys not the Cullens even out of school they don't eat. How strange...I wonder what it could mean? As I sat there Edward started talking and it surprised me what they were talking about. It was me. Did I really not act that normal? Had I done something to tick them off that I am a demigod? I froze my musings when I heard a growling coming from my love. I realized he had growled at Edward for saying there wasn't anything interesting about me, awww I fell in love in him even more. My love then started talking. I was shocked he had seen me battle the minotaur! But I had to admit I sounded like a goddess when he talked about me.
When he finished his tale, I checked to see if any of them were putting pieces together and realized the truth about me. There was no one. After a sudden a man I assume to be Dr. Carlisle since he resembled the Cullens I knew and he was older than them, but not by much. He said, " We have to find out what she is, so what do you want to do Sam? Have people watch her wherever she goes? She wouldn't spill our secrets since we know know she is hiding a big secret herself." Wait they were hiding something too? Maybe I should go in there and share secrets. After all I had to be near my love and it was just a matter of time before he knew the real me.
Then who I assume to be Sam spoke before I had the chance to walk in. "No I don't thinks so since the moron over here is her imprint she will most likely trust him when they meet. See the imprinting is very strong, and incapable to fight off." Imprint? What the Hades was that? Does that mean that my love loves me like I love him? Not a a few seconds after Sam finished speaking my imprint launched himself at Sam, I didn't hear what he had said before but I think it was about calling him a moron.
They wrestled on the ground until a pretty girl with a scar called Sam back and he went back to her. The love just oozed out of them. Another of the Cullens spoke next, I had never seen her before but she was beautiful as the rest of them. "So Paul is just going to go up to her gain her trust and then get answers?" Yes I had finally learned his name! Paul.
Sam was the one who answered her "Yep that is the pl-" He was interrupted by a voice coming from persons I had seen before. They were the fates. Three ancient old men that had the fate of any mortal in their hands. What were they doing here? They started talking, well actually it was the middle one I never really learned their names."Paul Lahote we have brought answers to some of your questions." I saw that the left one held books. I didn't listen to the rest of their exchange since the one to the right was staring at me.
She didn't seem surprised to find me there. She kept staring at me until they left in a purple flash. I wondered what words they had exchange had they told them about me? No they just gave them the answers it was up to them to read them. I tuned in to Paul reading the first of the books. Called the Lightning Thief. It was until then that I read all of the books' titles. The Lightning Thief, the Sea of Monsters, the Titan's Curse, the Battle of the Labyrinth, and the Last Olympian. All of my quests summed up in five books.
Paul opened it to the first page and read, "Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood." I started to step out so I could be there when they learned of my secrets. All of a sudden lightning striked the tree next to me immediately fire consumed it. I guess Zeus didn't want me to interfere. When I looked to see the others reaction I froze with shock. Some of the La Push guys were gone and instead there were this huge wolves! I started to run, but almost immediately they had me surrounded. I instinctively pulled out riptide.
I tried to figure out if Paul was amidst the wolves or if he was one. But I saw him standing next to a huge black wolf. He had his hands up as if trying to calm. I realized I was in a battle stance. He said, "Don't worry we will not hurt you," I pulled out of my stance, "yes that's it we just want to know what you are." He offered me a smile. Which erased all of my doubts. I opened my mouth to speak to him, "If you want to learn all of my secrets I guess we should read those books." I returned his smile. Which just made him smile bigger. So we started heading back to the clearing.
Review! And thanks to all of your wonderful reviews specially That Punch Rock Chick, it just made me smile so much.
