Forks Meets Percy Jackson

AN: So this is my first fan fic So reviews are welcome also the usual disclaimer that this is not my intellectual property, you all know who this stuff belongs to

Percy Jackson has accomplished many things most people believe to be impossible. He has done it so many times now that he no longer feels like it's a big deal. Everything from fighting "mythical monsters" intent on killing him, to standing up to immortal gods, titans, and giants, and being a figure head in major wars with the fate of the world in the balance. Despite all this there is something most people find very basic that he has yet to accomplish which is finishing high school. Admittedly he hasn't really had the time to focus on that with everything that has been going on in his life for the past few years, and even if he did with his ADHD and dyslexia he still isn't really able to focus on school work. However when it comes to mothers looking out for their children there isn't really any excuse good enough to stop them from wanting their child to get an education which is what Percy is finding out after the conclusion of the latest giant war.

"Percy you still need to finish high school you know. I know you have been busy but things have calmed down now so I think it's the perfect time to do so." Sally Jackson exclaimed. Percy was reluctant to say the least. "Why do I need to do that? I can get everything I need from camp plus it's not like I need money since the gods decided to give me a credit card with no limit as a reward for saving their sorry asses again." "A little respect please Percy you don't want to anger them" Sally replied. "Besides Just because you don't need money doesn't mean you shouldn't get an education. It's good to know this stuff and I think you should try to have a normal life." "Normal I don't even know what that is anymore" Percy muttered mostly to himself then a little louder said "Ya your right but it's not like I can get into any school around here, I've been kicked out of most of them and the ones I haven't won't take me due to my reputation." "Percy do you remember my half-brother Charlie who lives in Forks?" Sally questioned. Percy was a little confused now as to where this conversation was headed so answered a little slowly. "Ya kind of it's been a while since I've seen him though why do you ask?" "Well forks is a small town and Charlie is the chief of police so he has a bit of pull there and he was able to get you enrolled in the local high school and I thought you could go there. I know it's quite the change from living here in New York but I think it would be good for you especially now that there isn't anything tying you here."

A pained expression came over Percy briefly at his mother's last comment, mostly because it was true. After returning from Tarturus and finishing the giant war Percy hadn't been the same. The ordeal had really taken its toll on him and his usual smile was normally absent. Not only that but he and Anabeth had drifted apart as there were just too many painful memories that they had shared to still enjoy each other's company as they once did. All of Percy's other friends had also become more distant. Some just because they were too busy but others noticed the broken expression on his face from time to time when he let his careful mask slip and just gave him space which was probably the last thing they should have done but none of them really knew how to help him, it's not like any of them could really relate to what he had gone through. Percy spent most of his time alone as a result and although he tried to keep up a happy appearance his mother knew better as did most people.

"Your Uncle has even offered to let you stay with him and your cousin Isabella while you attend high school there isn't that great?" His mom said quickly trying to get his mind off of things. "You want me to move to forks?" Percy said in a low voice. "No I don't want you to leave but I think a fresh start is what's best for you right now and forks is the only place we can get you into high school." Sally didn't want him to think for a minute that she was kicking him out, she only wanted the best for him and deep down he knew it too. "Alright" was all he said. "Well I can get you a plane ticket for tomorrow if you want now that Zeus is allowing you to fly and Charlie will pick you up at the airport when you arrive" she questioned. "Ya that sounds great mom"

The last time Charlie had seen his nephew Percy had been rather skinny and not an impressive physical specimen so he was shocked by the kid he was picking up at Port Angeles. Percy wasn't incredibly bulky but he was clearly very fit with lean firm muscles like a professional swimmer and he had a hard look about him that spoke a little about what he had gone through. Of course Sally had told him over the phone that he had a rough time, obviously edited for Charlie's benefit, he was still surprised to see the pain in his expression before he noticed Charlie and grew a grin that stretched across his face. It reminded him a little of what his daughter Bella had gone through and he vowed to try to help Percy as much as he could to get over whatever had him so down.

"Hey uncle Charlie how are you, long time no see." Percy said grinning while he embraced his uncle. "I'm good kid glad you made it here in one piece. You want me to carry one of those they look heavy." Charlie said while looking at the bags Percy had with him. "No I'm good" he replied lifting them with ease. "Well then we better get going" Charlie stated walking out side towards the cruiser. Percy followed him outside where it was raining heavily. "Sorry about the weather it rains a lot here" said Charlie looking back at Percy who to his surprise was looking skyward and was smiling. Unlike the earlier grin he could tell this was genuine happiness. The falling water energised Percy and he could sense all the collected moisture around him which for the son of a water god made this the perfect place to be. "It's alright I love the rain, well any form of water really." Percy replied. That was about it for conversation on the way back to the Swan residence as Charlie still wasn't much of a talker and Percy was busy reveling in his rare moment of happiness. Maybe this was a good idea after all he thought to himself.

Bella was busy making dinner at home for when Charlie and Percy would arrive. She was slightly nervous about meeting her cousin after such a long time, especially after what Charlie had told her about his condition. She really didn't know very much about what was going on with him but she hoped she would be able to help him get through it. She remembered enjoying hanging out with him when they were little, with his sarcasm and happy personality. Bella was also very curious about the car that had appeared in the driveway under a cover with a letter addressed to Percy.

Bella had just finished cooking the chicken and pasta when Charlie pulled into the drive way so she rushed out to meet them. Of course when she got close to the car she tripped over her own feet and started to fall but was stopped by a strong arm holding her up. "I see you're just as clumsy as ever Isabella" laughed Percy who had caught her as she had fallen towards him. Her eyes narrowed at the use of her full first name "Thanks so much Perseus" she replied with just a hint of sarcasm. He laughed at that. "Fine I won't call you Isabella if you don't call me Perseus deal? Just Bella and Percy alright?" Percy said while laughing. "Oh so you do remember I prefer Bella" Bella asked him. "Of course I do Cow Bells do you really think I would forget my favorite cousin." Percy replied. "Hey what's with the Cow Bells" Bella asked a little indignantly. "I only promised not to call you Isabella all other nicknames are still on the table" he laughed again. Charlie joined in happy at how the exchange was going and thinking that Sally had been right when she asked for Percy to stay here thinking it would be good for him. "Glad you two are getting along as usual. Anyway what's for dinner Bells?" Charlie asked. "Umm chicken and pasta" Bella answered then turned to Percy and said "I'll think of something to get back at you for calling me cow bells eventually." Percy laughed again and started to follow Charlie into the kitchen to grab dinner when they both noticed the third vehicle under a cover sitting in the drive way.

"Umm Bells what's that car doing here" Charlie asked. He knew it wasn't there before and that Percy had just arrived so didn't have time to get himself a vehicle so he was really confused as to why it was there. "I don't know" she replied "I didn't see who dropped it off but there was this note on top of it when I came out earlier." Bella handed the letter addressed to Percy to let him read it and figure out what this was all about. As Percy read the letter his eyes widened and a smile broke out across his face. "My dad bought me a car and had it sent here" Percy stated surprised by the thoughtful gift by Poseidon. The letter also conveyed Poseidon's wishes that Percy would find happiness as he truly deserved it. Percy thought about that for a while, he wasn't sure when or if he would be able to be happy again but he decided forks was off to a good start so far and he went to pull the cover off the car. When he did all three of them stopped and stared for a minute. Sitting in the driveway next to Bella's old rusty pickup was a brand new dark blue corvette stingray. The thing looked even better in contrast to the old truck sitting next to it, not that it needed any help especially in that colour which reminded Percy of the sea. The paint even seemed to shift between different shades of blue depending on the angle you viewed it from, it was stunning. "Your dad bought you that?!" Charlie almost gasped out "I didn't think you two were close from what your mother told me" "Well we normally aren't but we have been getting a little closer and I helped him out a couple times so I think this is his way of thanking me and maybe apologising a bit as well" Percy replied. "Damn must have been some favour to warrant this, what did you do for him?" asked Charlie. Percy's expression grew dark at this again thinking of everything he had been through recently and simply replied "I don't really want to talk about it". Charlie and Bella both noticed his expression so they didn't try to press him for any more information about it. "Come on" Bella said "Dinner is probably getting cold by now" and with that the three of them went into the house to eat.

"Wow great food cow bells thanks" Percy said while looking up after finishing his dinner to see two sets of eyes looking at him in shock. "What" he asked. "Wow kid you can sure put away the food huh? Cant believe you could eat that much." Charlie said "Ya it's a good thing I made so much extra you finished it all, I think you could even give Jacob and his friends a run for their money with how much you all eat" Bella agreed. "Well I work out a lot so I need to eat a lot to have enough energy" Percy replied simply. It was then that Bella noticed just how strong he looked. He wasn't quite as large as the guys from the reservation or Emmet but you could defiantly tell he was very strong and could give them a run for their money. Or he could if they weren't werewolves and vampires Bella thought to herself, no human can rival their speed and strength.

There was a knock on the door then which caused Bella to jump a little and then run to get it saying it was probably Edward. Percy looked to Charlie then and asked "who is Edward". This resulted in a slight look of disgust from Charlie as he explained. "He's Bella's boyfriend who left her a while back and completely broke her heart then came back and acted as if nothing happened even though she was a wreck for months. I'm only giving them limited visiting hours right now because I really don't approve of him." Charlie then looked at Percy with a mischievous grin "If you want to scare the hell out of him I won't stop you. I bet you could too you are a lot bigger than he is" Charlie said to him. This got a laugh from Percy "Ya I bet I could I seem to have a talent or doing so" he said which was true, if Percy wanted to he could be very frightening and not too many people would mess with him.

At the entry way Edward chuckled as he stepped through the door. "What?" Bella asked him, wondering what was so funny. "Your father is telling your cousin about me. They both seem to think that he could give me quite the scare if he felt like it." Edward chuckled again at the thought of a human scaring him, as if any human could pose even a slight threat to a vampire such as himself. Bella however frowned at this unhappy that her family and Edward didn't get along. "What does Percy think of you" Bella asked "does he believe everything my dad says about you and hate you as well or will he give you a chance before judging you" she asked him. Edward concentrated for a second, still with a slight grin on his face, but didn't reply. Slowly the grin was replaced with a slight frown and he shook his head slightly. "Let's go in shall we, I want to meet your cousin" was all he said.

When Edward and Bella walked into the living room, which is where Charlie and Percy had moved to, and came into view Percy suddenly froze. His senses were suddenly on alert as he studied Edward. He saw how Edwards arms were wrapped protectively around Bella but he also saw the almost inhuman beauty that Edward possessed and in Percy's experience that meant he was likely not human. Percy had enough experience with the unnatural to be fairly sure of his assessment. As he studied Edward he noticed the Edward had frozen and was doing the same to him. The scent was the first thing Edward noticed as it was very powerful. Not exactly more tempting than a normal humans and certainly not more so than Bella's but simply unavoidable and concentrated. There was a faint smell of salt to it as well similar to that of the ocean which was curious to say the least. Well actually the scent coming off of Percy was the second thing Edward noticed; the first thing had been when Bella had asked him what Percy had thought of him. When Edward tried to listen to his thoughts he hadn't been able to hear them. It wasn't the same as Bella's mind though where he simply couldn't pick up on anything; with Percy he could feel his mind he just couldn't get anything out of it as if he was being pushed out. Much like his scent however now that Edward realised it was there it was an almost overwhelmingly powerful presence despite the silence. He wondered to himself how he hadn't noticed earlier and concluded he must have been preoccupied with Bella. I bet any vampire or really any creature who could pick up on him would come and investigate thought Edward to himself. Finally Edward noticed Percy himself and saw that he was well built and muscular for a human and could tell from his demeanor that he had been through some stuff. He had the same look about him as his brother Jasper who had been though many battles. Did this mean Percy was some kind of warrior? He looked too young to have the kind of burdens it looked like he was carrying but then so did Jasper so Edward knew better than to rule it out based on appearance. Also for some unexplainable reason when Edward looked at Percy he felt a feeling of cold running across his spine. It took him a little while to recognise the feeling as it was uncommon for him but he finally identified it as fear. Why on earth did he feel fear for a human Edward scolded himself especially after chuckling about that very idea just moments before? I will defiantly need to talk to Carlisle and the others about this he decided.

Bella who had been watching the two of them size each other up decided to say something to break the obvious tension. "Umm Percy this is Edward, Edward Percy". Ok that didn't work very well still lots of tension but it got conversation going at least. "Hello Edward what are you doing here?" Percy asked in a perfectly polite tone but it sounded like he had a deeper meaning to the question. "Just here to spend some time with Bella" Edward replied also with a perfectly polite tone then added "you must be Bellas cousin she said was moving here but I'm afraid she didn't tell me much about you." "Well as you know my name is Percy and I am Bellas cousin from new York." Percy replied giving away as little information as possible while still meeting acceptable standards of politeness even if just barley. Bella started to wonder if Percy was doing that on purpose, if he had something against Edward. She decided to ask him later; no better yet she would ask Edward later that night. Less chance of Edward lying to me and not being open about it and since he could read Percy's mind he would have all the necessary information to satisfy her curiosity she reasoned. "Ok do you mind if I ask why you moved here from New York? Also will you be attending school with us?" Edward asked trying to get another piece to the puzzle that is Percy Jackson. "Well the reason I moved is very complicated and personal and I haven't even shared it all with Charlie and cow bells here so I don't think I'll answer that one yet" Percy replied while gaining a dark expression on his face. "And yes I will be attending forks high with you" he continued. "Oh hey Edward I guess that means you won't have to pick Bella up for school tomorrow since Percy can take her and they can catch up a bit" said Charlie with a gleeful expression on his face as he thought of a reason to keep Edward away from his daughter if only for a little bit. "Ah yes I meant to ask is that your car out front Percy?" Edward asked obviously referring to the corvette. Percy simply nodded. "May I ask how you were able to afford it, it doesn't seem like the kind of car someone your age would usually have". Percy noticed how Edward had said your age and not our age despite appearing to be around the same age but didn't comment on it. "My father bought it for me as a gift/reward/apology" Edward raised an eyebrow at that and said "oh so you've got a rich dad looking after you" despite the polite tone it seemed like Edward was trying to get under Percy's skin to get a reaction from him which in fact he was as he still was trying to figure this guy out. "not really first time he's done something like this for me and I can take care of myself" the way Percy said the last part of that once again sounded like it had a deeper meaning than just financially which is what was being discussed. "What about you eddie you mind telling me more about yourself I'm afraid I don't know anything about you." Percy asked. Edward wasn't the only one trying to figure out a puzzle after all. "Well I'm adopted and have four siblings who by the way are probably expecting me soon so I should probably be going" Edward said which again caused another gleeful expression from Charlie. "Good it's about time you left anyway I was about to kick you out anyway" he said while enjoying himself very much. "It was….. Interesting meeting you Percy" Edward said while being herded out the door by Charlie. "Likewise" was the response

Bella rolled her eyes after the door closed. That could have gone better she thought to herself but at least the stayed civil. "So cow bells so good riding with me to school tomorrow and showing me around" Percy asked her. "Sure but only if you stop calling me cow bells" she tried negotiating. "No way that's out of the question besides I'd only come up with a new nickname such as jingle bells or church bells or something. You wouldn't really leave your cousin lost over something like that anyway now would you?" Percy immediately replied while chuckling. "Wow don't be too creative on the names there Purse" Bella replied while coming up with one of her own on the fly. "Hey those were very creative" he replied while completely ignoring the one Bella had said. Damn maybe he didn't notice might have been too close to his actual name sounds like I just shortened it I'll have to keep thinking Bella thought. "No not really and yes I'll show you around. Anyway I'm going to bed see you guys tomorrow" Bella said before dashing up the stairs and going into the bathroom.

"Hey Percy I was going to have the basement cleaned out for you but we've had some problems at the station so I haven't had any time to do so, so I guess you will have to use the couch for tonight." Charlie told him with a tired look. "That's fine Uncle Charlie but what's going on at the station anything to be concerned about?" Percy asked. "No it's nothing to be concerned with it's just that there have been some disappearances in Seattle and they are asking for help figuring it out so we are just putting in some extra hours." "Oh ok" said Percy but he was wondering if it was a monster problem and if he should go fix it one of these days. They both said their goodnights and went to bed leaving Percy to ponder all that had happened today.

"Wait seriously you can't read his mind either?" Bella asked Edward now that they were alone in her room. "No I can't but In a different way from yours, I've never encountered anything like him, I think there is something seriously off about that guy. How well do you know him?" Edward replied. "Umm not that well I guess I haven't seen him in years and even then not often but he's always seemed normal to me." She replied. "Normal is the last word I would use to describe him. He has such a unique and powerful scent and even his silent mind has a commanding presence." Edward left out the fact that he felt fear around him as he couldn't explain why but he did warn Bella to be careful around him. "Wait you said a powerful scent do you mean he's more tempting than the others? Is he in danger from vampires too?" Bella started to freak out a little at this though with concern for her cousins safety. "No not more tempting just unavoidable and strong I need to speak with my family about this very soon. Humm will you bring him to our table tomorrow or will you two sit with your other friends" "Well I guess I might introduce him to everyone else first for tomorrow and maybe bring him to your family another day" Bella replied. "Alright that will give us time to try to figure this out before meeting him as a group. I should go now and fill them in so sleep well and I will see you tomorrow." And with those parting words Edward slipped out of her window and into the forest with speed too great for a human to follow, but not for a certain demigod who happened to be looking out the window at the time.
