Chapter 13—Author's POV
Percy lay on the ground.
He waited for the pain to stop but it never did.
He heard the muffles of people screaming and yelling in the background.
"PEERCCY!"
He felt the blood move through his body, then out of his body.
"PERCY!"
He heard growls and more yells.
He decided to patiently wait to die.
But that didn't come as soon as he wanted.
"Stop! STOP! STOOPPP!"
Percy gasped.
The redheaded vampire was gone.
He opened his eyes quickly.
He was gasping for air.
All he could see was flames.
"Help. Me," is what he tried to say but only more gasps came out.
"Percy!"
He felt Annabeth.
"Edward?" Annabeth was grabbing for Edward.
"Yes?" he asked as he crouched down next to Percy.
His eyes became dreary and tired.
Yet they wouldn't close.
"Oh. Hell!"
"What?" Annabeth cried.
"We need to get him to Carlisle."
"But—"
"NOW!" Edward's voice was urgent and demanding.
Annabeth obeyed.
Seth appeared in human form.
"What can I do?" he asked.
"Help me pick up Percy. He needs to see Carlisle."
Seth did what Edward told him to.
Together they carried Percy down. He was burning up. Bullets of sweat dripped off his head.
"Carlisle!" Edward shouted, motioning that he come over to them.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Victoria fed on him. Only a little bit, but.." Edward shook his head.
Carlisle touched Percy's forehead lightly.
He put a finger on his wrist.
He searched for a pulse.
Nothing.
"He's turning," Carlisle said, calmly.
"WHAT!" Grover shouted.
"No! No! No! No! No! NO! NO!" Annabeth cried. "NO! NO! NO! NOOO!"
Grover wrapped a supportive arm around Annabeth.
She berried her face in his shoulder.
Suddenly a large, muscular newborn appeared from behind a bolder.
"EMILY! DON'T!" Jacob shouted at Emily, who was charging to the vampire.
He ran to the vampire, turning into the large wolf.
The vampire was too quick and turned and bit into the wolf's ribs.
Jake fell to the ground, returning to a broken human. The wolves formed around Jacob.
"ALICE!" Carlisle's voice began to crack.
"Yes?" Alice's happy voice was now panicked and worried.
"Suck the venom out of Percy. He has minutes..seconds. Now!" Carlisle left Alice with Percy and ran to Jacob.
"Oy.." Alice grabbed the side of Percy's face.
She thought of how she'd do this… Quick or slow..?
She wasn't good at this.
She sucked out the venom..a lot.
"Alice! He's good!" Emmett shouted.
Percy's eyes were rolling in the back of his head.
Alice detached herself quickly.
She stared at Percy.
"Sorry," she mumbled.
"It's okay!" Jasper kissed Alice and wrapped her in his arms.
Percy blacked out.
Percy woke to see a group of red-eyed vampires dressed in black.
This must be the Volturi. Percy thought .
He stood up and walked next to Annabeth.
"Percy! PERCY! Are you okay!" Annabeth tried to whisper but her voice came out high pitched and whiny.
"Yes. Yes."
He placed a hand on her cheek and kissed her lightly.
"I see you made new friends," a girl said suddenly.
"Yes. They helped us fight the army. They're demi-gods, Jane," Carlisle said.
"Yes—I know. I did my homework." She smiled eerily.
"But what does this have to do with gods?" Alec asked, looking at Percy.
"We.." his voice cracked. "Ahem.. Chiron…uhm..erm…Well we worried that the gods would get involved..They would have been..but…ahem," Percy muttered.
"I could have puked those words out better!" Jane laughed.
Percy bowed his head down, shamefully.
"Well you no longer have any purpose here. The army is dead and gone," Edward said.
"Sad. This appeared to be a pretty good fight. Would have loved to rip off some heads," Jane chuckled darkly.
Edward smiled a fake smile.
"Who is that?" Jane peered past Carlisle and Esme to see a small newborn.
"This is Bree. She's a newborn vampire. Please. Let us take care of her. She didn't want this!" Esme pleaded.
"What is your purpose here?" Jane demanded.
She waited about a millisecond before using her powers on the newborn.
Bree fell to the ground and screamed in terror and pain.
"Stop it! Now!" Esme demanded. "Please," she added.
"She'll tell you anything you need to hear. Your powers aren't necessary," Carlisle informed.
"I know." Jane smiled viciously before releasing the young vampire.
"What's your purpose here?" Alec demanded.
"I-I-don't know! Riley wouldn't tell us! He just told me to not get killed!" Bree cried.
"Please. Let her stay with us. We will train her and care for her. Please, give her a chance."
"I'm afraid the Volturi don't give second chances…"
"We'll kill her! Ourselves! After you leave. If you leave now," Esme insisted.
Jane rolled her eyes."Fine," she spat. "But she has to be killed. Or else."
Jane turned and the others followed.
As soon as the Volturi were out of sight Bree began to panic.
"PLEASE! DON'T! KILL! ME! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!" she cried.
"Sweetie, I lied. Consider me your mother now. And we're your family." Esme wrapped her arms around the vampire.
The small vampire was stunned. Then she hugged Esme back.
"Meet Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Edward and Carlisle—who is caring for a patient right now. I'm Esme and my husband is Carlisle." Esme pointed to each family member.
Alice hugged Bree.
"We'll be BEST FRIENDS! Bells and I became great friends! So I know we will to!" Alice sing-songed.
"Guys. We should go check on Jake," Bella said.
"AHHHH! AHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jake's screams made Bella feel like she was going to scream.
Carlisle rushed out of the small house where Jacob was at.
"His ribs are broken. As is his arm. I gave him some morphine but his body temperature is so high it's wearing off," Carlisle informed.
Bella rushed in to see him.
"Hi Jake," she said sweetly, rubbing his face.
"Hey, Bells!" Jake said back.
"Listen Jacob," Bells began. "About the kiss—"
Jake interrupted her. "I'm sorry. I know that was wrong..But I needed you to prove to Edward, me and yourself that you do love me."
"I do love you, Jake. But not like how I love Edward."
"I don't care what you think. I'm going to fight for you, until your heart stops beating."
"Then you won't have to fight for long."
"You're rushing into this!" He got worked up and sat up. Then fell to the bed in pain.
"Jake—"
"I love you, Isabella Swan. And I don't care if you think you love me more or less than that leech..ahem..than Edward. I'm going to fight. Hard. I don't care if it kills me."
And he was asleep.
"Jake? Jake? JACOB! Ugghhh!"

"Goodbye, everyone. It was a pleasure meeting you. Hope we may cross your path in the future!" Percy said, shaking the vampires hands.
"Goodbye!" they all replied.

Percy, Grover and Annabeth sit in the car in front of Camp Half Blood.
As they started to get out of the Mercedes Benz, Percy's phone rang.
"Hello?" he said into the phone.
Annabeth and Grover only her Chiron's voice. Not his words.
"Okay, sir. We're on our way now." Percy pressed the off button on the iPhone and started the car.
"W-where are we going?" Grover asked.
"Our new mission. Ha! Just in time for our birthdays…"
The End
For now.
