"You know what's weird?" I asked Jasper as we walked towards Mr. Strice's room. I could always talk feelings with Jasper. "I know you guys all don't like the new people but for some reason, I feel at ease with them. Like they will protect me well if they wanted to. Like family. Though after the little stunt in the café, I doubt dad will allow them within 100 miles to me."
Jasper stiffened ever so slightly but I noticed. "Sorry," I whimpered as we entered.
"No, no, it's fine. It's just they feel dangerous, that's all," Jasper sat down at the desk next to me.
"I know that. The fact that you think I'm that stupid is insulting. It's just that if you got them all your good side, they would destroy a country or something for you." I answered.
"Alright class, hope you had a nice lunch. Today, I thought we'd take a break and just relax. You may talk the whole period." Mr. Strice was officially my favorite teacher, though it'd be nice if Nessie was here. Plus, all I had was questions. Why tempt my curiosity further?
Jasper grinned at me. "Wanna just read?" I giggled and nodded. I pulled out the first Alpha Academy, my favorite book. (credits 2 Lisi Harrison :D also, check her blahg on her site-lisiharrison(dot)com(slash)blah-g i think...nyways...)
Before I knew it, it was time for gym. I suddenly felt relieved that I was a girl. When Helena, Coach Silvers and Lady glared, it was beyond scary. Jasper glanced at me in an odd way.
"Just glad I'm a girl," I explained swiftly and he laughed as we exited the room.
"I'm here to pick Summer up!" Bella teased as we saw her in the hallway. I pouted unhappily.
"C'mon Summer, let's meet the famous Coach Silvers," Bella pulled me towards gym.
"Ah, Bella and Summer," Coach Silver greeted us at the door. We smiled uneasily at her. With nothing else to do, I listened to the loud chatter that was supposed to be whispering. Nothing good, just about Helena, the new kids, and lunch. Great, we wanted to blend in not "make the news." Of course the lunch talking was about the two guys and Blake's little-pft-…transformation.
"Today, we're going to do archery. I got all the materials here. Two or three to a bow and arrow please. Then you may go outside and choose a board, aim for the star. The groups must be gender separated. Either you follow that rule or archery will be a whole lot harder for you," Coach Silvers got right to business.
"How do we shoot?" some guy called out.
"I'll show you outside," Coach Silvers concluded. "Idiot boys, don't know anything…" she muttered and Bella stiffened.
I skipped towards the wall where all the bows were neatly placed. I was just about to take one when another person's hand beat me there.
"S'cuse me beautiful," a guys voice stated. Bella was suddenly behind him.
"She saw it first," she growled menacing.
"Summer saw it first. Let go," Coach Silvers looked really mad, furious. But she also looked a little scared. I wonder why she stood up for me.
The guy still didn't let go.
"Stab him with the arrow," Coach Silvers whispered with authority.
My eyes widened in horror but obeyed. Suddenly, the guy disappeared. I stared at where he was in shock. Bella copied.
"Oh, not good. Really not good," Coach Silvers whispered.
She snatched Bella and my wrists, not even startled by our temperatures. Bella was snarling and thrashing but her grip was tight, which surprised me. We were outside the school by now, where I saw Lady and all the new kids.
"Let them go," the voice behind was beyond murderous. It could only be Edward and dad. Coach Silvers ignored them and continued to talk to Lady and Helena. Percy, Annabeth and Katie looked at me with sympathy and nervousness. Grover was shuddering like a leaf in the wind-wait, why'd I use a leaf simile? The rest of the family was out now, yelling at Coach Silvers.
"You can hurt us all you want but let. Them. Go," my dad snarled as loud as billions of horns.
"Get your filthy, repulsive, vile hands off my wife," Edward snarled, with more anger than I had ever heard. That seemed to make Coach Silvers a little angrier. Helena seemed a little pleased and Lady whacked her in the stomach.
"You can just let her go, Artemis," Helena commanded. Artemis?
'Artemis' stared at her like she was crazy.
Helena rolled her eyes. "Like they can run away from us." Dad and Edward snorted and then continued snarling.
'Artemis' raised an eyebrow and tightened her hold and Bella cringed. Edward looked beyond livid. He looked more murderous than Helena looked beautiful. He even looked more furious than he loved Bella, which was a huge step…up? Bella and Edward were like, more than just 'in love.' They were something and that something was more.
"C'mon," Helena coaxed again and 'Artemis' lost it.
"Oh, so you think you can just POOF! appear from the stinkin' ocean…" Percy tensed but stayed quiet. "…all beautiful," 'Artemis' sneered. "…and what not and think you rule this town or universe? Let me tell you, sister that's…"
"Let go of her," mom and dad growled and looked like they would pounce if they could.
The rest of the family was more controlled, but that didn't mean they liked this. Alice looked freaked out and mad, furious. Jasper looked the angriest, though it probably wasn't his fault. Nessie looked a little scared and was behind Jasper but in front of Alice. Dad and Edward started swearing at them. I saw Percy, Annabeth, Grover and Katie shaking their heads at us but Coach Silvers just took deep breaths, trying to calm down.
"Listen!" she yelled. "Summer is in great danger. You guys all are. The world is. Just let us work it out. Percy, you guys go explain. We'll be right back. I have to warn my dad." Coach Silvers, Helena, and Lady suddenly just disappeared. We all gaped at them. Dad and Edward recovered first.
"You guys don't mess with Summer and Bella," they said. The tone was beyond fury. Edward tried, as gently as he could, to move Bella behind him. She just rolled her eyes. Typical Bella huh?
"Please, you couldn't beat us if you tried," Percy muttered. Dad was about to pounce when suddenly, a branch held him in place.
"What the…" Dad didn't even bother to struggle, we were all shocked, beyond shocked.
"Thanks Katie," Annabeth smiled softly at Katie. She was doing this? But... Ugh! What's the point? "Now, if you guys want an explanation, calm down." We were all glaring but I guess we all looked calm.
"Seaweed Brain, you have the honors," Annabeth grinned as Percy glared.
"Okay, there is so much to tell you. Basically, all the Greek myths are real," Percy paused slightly to let it sink in. "Summer is a half-blood, meaning one of her parents, her mom in this case, is an immortal god of Olympus. Hers is Demeter, the goddess of harvest and agriculture and everything. Katie is also a daughter of her, meaning you guys are half sisters. Helena is Aphrodite, the goddess of love, Coach Silvers is Artemis, the goddess of hunt, which explains why she hates guys, and Lady is Athena, the goddess of wisdom. My dad is Poseidon, the god of the ocean and Annabeth's mom is Athena. Grover's a satyr, a goat dude…" Annabeth cut him off and mumbled.
"Who knew he couldn't even handle explaining this? Knew I should've…" Percy carried on.
"Now, the danger is that Mother Earth has given birth to twin giants, they have amazing strength and are really clever. That's not the biggest problem though. The monsters are all getting cleverer. They've all been alive, waiting for each other to wake up again. So now, we have to face two giants and like 20 monsters. And you guys all know about Hercules and how Mother Earth doesn't exactly like the gods right? Anyways, that guy you stabbed was a laistrygone. The reason that Summer hasn't been attacked is because her mom's been keeping them out. You're lucky you live in a forest. Plus, when you don't know you don't smell as…appetizing. Any questions?" Percy took a deep breath.
We all stared. I don't think there are any words that describe what we were feeling now.
"Ugh, you guys can gape later, right now, we need all of you, at least Summer to start training," Annabeth seemed annoyed.
"Why should we help you?" my oh-so-foolish dad challenge.
"Because, now since Summer knows, the monsters will be after her too. Plus the world sort of depends on us," Grover replied.
"So if you didn't tell us, we'd be fine?" Jasper was suddenly very angry that they'd put Alice in danger. I knew that because I suddenly felt angry and protective of Alice for some reason.
"No, apparently, you didn't see laistrygone. You're lucky we were there. Plus, it was you guys who wanted to know the truth," Annabeth shot back. She was smart.
My family grunted. Percy took that as a 'you're forgiven' and started handing out orders. "Katie, you help Summer with her powers. Teach her how to fight monsters and make sure you have ambrosia and nector. Grover, you go tell Carlisle and Esme what's going on. Annabeth and I will teach the rest of you guys."
I'd forgotten about Carlisle and Esme. Well, can you blame me? This whole thing was wack. Grover nodded seriously and ran away.
"How about we help you?" a girl's voice appeared out of nowhere.
"Thalia!" Annabeth ran up to a 15 year old girl who was in front of 30 other adolescent girls.
"Hey Thalia," Percy greeted politely. The other girls glared but Thalia just smiled. "We got the message," she stated grimly.
"Guys, these are the Hunters of Artemis. They'll help Bella, Rosalie, Alice and Nessie. Percy and I will help the rest of you guys," Annabeth stated. Oh, so the Hunters avoided boys too.
"Wait a minute. Nessie isn't going to fight," Edward suddenly spoke up.
"Girls are just as strong as boys. Do you have a problem with that?" Thalia stared hard at Edward. Bella stiffened.
"No…just that she's part human. There's gotta be somewhere we can keep her," Edward's voice was a whole lot harder.
"We're all part human," Thalia stated, starting to get angry.
Before Edward could reply, Percy quickly cut in all panicky.
"Uh, Edward, that's the second-in-command, Thalia. She's also a daughter of Zeus, you know, king of the gods, ruler of the universe," Percy put a whole lot of emphasis at a lot of places.
Edward's eyes narrowed just a little. "The point is you guys don't have a daughter."
"Ha! And we never will," one of the Hunter snickered with disgust.
"Something wrong?" a beautiful voice came from behind us. Everyone except for my family's eyes widened. They bowed. "Hera." Wow, the queen of gods?
"Bow," Katie hissed. Percy and Annabeth snorted so softly, I'm not sure I heard right.
"Edward has a point, dear Hunters. I'll make sure your darling Renesmee is safe," Hera spoke and the power in her voice was the strongest I've ever heard. The Hunters sighed and nodded. Edward seemed relieved and Nessie just rolled her eyes, her cheeks a faint pink. "Alright, I'm here to deliver a message too. The whole council knows. You guys will practice right here, no one will disturb you. The monsters will come in about a week. We'll evacuate the area, though that probably won't help. The last time went all around the world with Hercules." Hera's lips turned down slightly and I pulled out my limited knowledge of Greek myths and realized Hercules was Zeus, Hera's husband and someone else's son. "Anyways, a god will always be watching. Summer, would you like to go meet your mom? Katie will come with you," Hera turned to me. Mom looked like she'd be snarling if this wasn't the actual queen of the world-universe. Who'd I want to upset more: a goddess or a vampire. Yup, that's a tough question.
"Um, sure," I replied softly. I quickly started to feel really guilty so that Jasper would know.
"Start practicing. Persephone will be here next." Hera grabbed Katie and my hand and we disappeared.
We landed in a corn field.
"Hey mom!" Katie yelled. The lady turned around, her eyes grew wide as the rested on me. Suddenly, she was besides me.
"I'll leave you guys here. Your daughter's watching the kids, just so you know, Demeter. Hades argued but…" Hera shimmered and some instinct told me to look away.
"The last time I saw you, you were just 2 months old," Demeter, my…mom cried as she hugged me tight, stroking my hair. "Then, your father had to brag about having the perfect family and Hera cursed him. You'd think Hera would hate you, but apparently, your kind amazes her," Demeter snorted a little, muttering about humans weren't made for science experiments. "What she really means is she thinks you're the perfect niece and perfect addition to the family, which is true, but..." The sky rumbled slightly. "Oh save it, Hera, m'dear sister!" She yelled up, which would've looked...odd if I didn't know. She pulled me away and turned to Katie. "The rest of your sibling will be flying to Forks. So will the whole camp. Tell that to Annabeth Chase, Grover Underwood, and Percy will you?" Katie nodded. I wonder what was so special about Percy...
I spoke for the first time. "So I have sisters and brothers?"
Katie nodded.
"Well, Katie, you have to go train her. Your sisters and brothers will help soon. I have to go but here's some cereal," Demeter shoved us bowls. As soon as we touched them, we were back to the forest. Mom and dad ran towards me.
"How was your…mom honey?" Mom asked after she pulled away.
"Nice. She gave us cereal," I showed her the bowl.
"Ah," mom nodded, looking like she was trying not to laugh.
"Percy! Annabeth!" Katie called. Percy and Annabeth ran up to us. Percy glanced at the cereal and smiled a little. "You're gonna get those a lot, just ask Persephone," he snickered a little.
"Anyways, the whole camp is coming," Katie told them.
Percy nodded. "Good, I could use more help. None of the Hunters will go near them."
Carlisle and Esme suddenly ran up. "Oh, Summer, this is all a big surprise isn't it?" Esme asked. I simply nodded. I looked around. The Hunters were helping Alice and Bella, who were really good at sword fighting now. Grover was talking to some...tree nymphs? Like I said, I had limited knowledge on Greek...stories. Edward and Jasper seemed good with the sword too. They were practicing with each other. I saw a gorgeous girl, not as pretty as Helen-Aphrodite, looking around, making flowers appear and changing them into freesias, roses, daisies… It looked pretty cool. Nessie was right besides her and they were talking.
"C'mon Summer, I have to help you. You have to learn about the eyes and everything." Katie pulled me to an empty part of the forest. "Okay! Well, your eye colors depend on what you're working with. For example, brown means dirt or roots or trunks got it? Good," Katie grinned at me, but suddenly became somber. "I hope you know that me and the gods, well I'm sure they are deep, deap inside, really sorry…"
"It's okay," I replied tentatively.
"I know this is probably a lot to take in… I remember when I found out and that was just a regular day, compared to why you found out… If you need any help or anything, I'll try to help," Katie smiled gently at me and this time, I smiled back.
