Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or Twilight
Bella's POV:
What is a demigod? What did she mean? Questions were racing in my mind. I would ask her some of them but I didn't know where to even begin. Luckily I didn't have to.
"Annabeth, what is a demigod" Esme asked.
"A demigod is a child of a god and a human. Have you ever heard of Greek mythology?" Annabeth asked.
What did Greek mythology have anything to do with this?
"Yeah, what does Greek mythology have anything to do with this, or what just happened" Emmett boomed.
"Well it has everything to do with this, because Greek mythology isn't mythology, it's all very real." Annabeth said shakily.
"And who is you godly parent then" Edward asked.
Annabeth straightened up when she said this; her eyes were full of pride.
"My mom is Athena, the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy" Annabeth responded, looking prouder than ever.
Thunder in the far off distance boomed, and Annabeth smiled, like an unsaid conversation has just happened.
"Do you really believe that we would really believe that crap you just fed us" Rosalie snarled viciously, if I was still a human, I would've been shaken to the core with fear. But Annabeth was the least thing to scared, in fact she was pissed. Her gray eyes were cold and vicious.
"Well you should before one of them decide to flood this town and kill everyone and everything in it" Annabeth glared.
"So what you are saying is that Greek gods are real, and have children with humans, and you're one of them" I asked, my fingers were shaking.
Annabeth's eyes soften.
"The Greek gods have influenced a lot of America. Like George Washington, he is a son of Athena. Look at the symbol of the United States, the eagle of Zeus. There's a statue of Prometheus in the Rockefeller Center, the Greek facades in the government buildings in Washington D.C." Annabeth said.
"So there is such a place like Mount. Olympus" Alice chirped.
"Well there is the actual mountain, and then there is the palace on the clouds hovering above the Empire State building." Annabeth smiled.
Annabeth's POV
I loved talking about my culture. It felt good to get it off my chest; it felt good to be honest with Bella, all those years of hiding secrets.
"Does that mean there also is an Underworld?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes there is a place where spirits go to, but not everyone goes to the same place, especially the people who are really good, and do good deeds; and those who are evil, and do evil things. The good people go to Elysium. That's where every demigod dreams of going, and in the center of Elysium, is the Isles of the blest, that's where the people who died three times, and were reborn, and achieved Elysium go to" Annabeth had a dreamy look on her face.
"And what about the people who do bad" Jasper asked.
"They get special punishment from Hades. They go to the Fields of Punishment, and if they were really bad, they might end up in Tartarus" I shivered.
"What, what happened" Bella and Esme asked.
"It's another long story for later" I smiled at them, "there is the Fields of Asphodel for the people who just lived".
"Wow, this is just so much to take in" Jasper muttered.
"What about the thing that attacked you" Rosalie asked.
"That was a hell hound, they like to challenge demigods, they either kill us or we kill them, that's why we go to a special camp in New York. It's to train demigods like me" I smiled, I thought of my home. Percy was probably helping train the newer campers.
I turned to face Bella.
"Do you remember when I was seven, and my dad told you I went to some private school," I asked her. "Yeah why" She responded, a little uncertain.
"Well I didn't go to a private school, I ran away" I said, "I made some demigod friends along the way to Camp-Half Blood" I smiled at the good memories.
"Wait, what about your boyfriend Percy, is he a demigod" Bella asked.
"Yeah he is, he is a son of Poseidon" I said.
"Don't Athena and Poseidon hate each other" Edward asked.
"Yeah well, it's a long story" I chuckled.
"Why is everything you respond with is 'It's a long story'" Esme asked.
I was about to say it's a long story, but I caught myself. "I just have a lot of history, you don't know about, how about I tell you when Jacob and Nessie are up, and I have breakfast" I hinted, then as if right on cue, my stomach grumbled.
Esme gave a light laugh and led me to the kitchen "Of course".
