[REVISED: July 10, 2013]
Hey! So, I had been thinking of writing another story, but I didn't know what about. Well, I was reading the Percy Jackson books (for like the third time! Obsessed) and I decided that I wanted to try my hand at doing a crossover.
I hope that you guys enjoy it! I've got it half-way pre-planned, so…that's a good sign.
Oh, and this takes place after Edward leaves Bella in New Moon and just before the war in The Last Olympian.

SUMMARY: Bella Swan was keeping more than one secret when the Cullen's left her in Forks, Washington. Nine months later and the Cullen's – along with Jacob, Leah, and Seth – have been recruited by Lady Artemis to help in the upcoming war. Bella is tasked with taking them to Camp Half-Blood, unfortunately for her.

ROSALIE POV
"How could I have not seen this?" Alice wailed, dry sobs taking over her small frame. Jasper wrapped his arms around her and Alice crumpled to a heap in his arms.
Edward wasn't much better than Alice. He had sunk to the ground, his hands covering his face, but we could all still here his sobs as well. "What have I done? What have I done?" he repeated over and over.
"Yes, bloodsucker, what have you done?" The mutt's voice growled, the anger in his voice barely being contained.
I growled at Jacob Black, the filthy mutt. "What have you done?" I asked him accusingly.
While I admit that we had some part to play in this whole fiasco, I knew without a doubt that Jacob had just a big of a part.
It had been nine months almost exactly since we had left Bella back in Forks, Washington. We had tried to move on, tried to act like a normal family again. No matter what I thought, my family members felt it wasn't the same. Not without her – Bella. I swear! We left her behind to protect her! That part I get, I would never want to damn her to a life of immortality with no option to grow old or bear children.
A pain ripped across my chest; my cold, unbeating heart ripping in half once more. It had become a common recurrence ever since we had met Bella Swan and she had been ready to throw her life away for my dear brother.
The mutt and his two goonies took a threatening step forward, two of them in their wolf form, growling like crazy.
"Rosie, please," I heard Emmett plead from my side; his arms trying to hold me back. But no matter how much I loved Emmett, I wasn't going to back down from a bunch of mutts.
I took a step forward as well, shaking off Emmett's grip as I did, the sounds of Alice and Edward's dry sobs ringing in my ears. All I heard was their pain and how it could have been prevented. We had knocked over the first straw, but Jacob Black had knocked over the last. He could have stopped her - should have stopped her from leaving.
Bella, foolish Bella, had run away.
"Rosalie now is not the time," said Carlisle, exhaustion clear in his voice. "We shouldn't be fighting right now. We should be thinking of a plan to find her."
Reluctantly I backed off. I still glared at the mutts, letting them know how much I hated them.
"Now tell us what happened," continued Carlisle, speaking to Jacob Black.
The mutt's face had been in a permanent scowl ever since we had arrived in the clearing. Back in Forks, Washington. The dumb dog had somehow found our phone number for our house in Alaska and had called us while we were all out hunting. His stupid message was cryptic and unclear, but we all understood one thing about it; Bella was in danger. Edward nearly sprinted out the door before the message was even finished. It took Emmett, Jasper, and I to hold him back until Carlisle could figure out a plan. But Carlisle was just as frenzied as Edward. Somehow we all piled into the fastest car we had and practically flew to Forks in record time.
"After you abandoned her," the mutt began, causing all of my family to wince, "she acted different. Immediately, she pushed her friends away. It was almost like she was getting ready to run. And then she came to the rez about two weeks after you leeches left, to say goodbye maybe, but she ended up staying that day. She started to hang out on the rez." Hearing this, Edward growled. He caused a chain reaction, causing the mutts to growl at him. Jacob cast his pack of dogs a glance and they quieted down. "She seemed to get a bit better from that point on, coming to campfires and hanging out at the beach."
Jacob paused; looking troubled, and took a deep breath. "And then, she just vanished a couple of weeks later."
"So," interjected Carlisle, "how long after we left did she disappear?"
Jacob shrugged, scowling at the ground. "Almost four weeks, maybe."
"Four weeks!?" the whole family yelled, causing the wolves to snarl and get into a defensive position by Jacob's side.
"She's been gone for practically nine months and we're just hearing about this now?!" yelled Emmett, his temper getting the best of him. I wrapped my arms around his waist, hoping he would calm down. Even though he was strong, he couldn't take on three wolves by himself. At my touch, his posture relaxed just the slightest, though he still was scowling and glaring at the dogs.
"It was hard to find you!" Jacob yelled back, defensive. "Where the hell were you anyways?!"
I couldn't help but flinch, knowing that we had been hiding out in England for the past eight months. If we had been living in the states… well, we would have heard of Bella's disappearance sooner.
"Why would you have cared anyways," he finished, mumbling under his breath, but we still all heard.
"Bella is our family. She's one of us," said Esme, everyone nodding in agreement with her.
The mutt glared at her, a bad move if he wanted to keep his limps attached. "Do you always abandon your family?"
I had to grudgingly agree with the mutt on that.
Edward stepped forward, looking like he had just been punched in the gut. Jacob turned his glare on him. "We left to protect her."
The mutt snorted. "Good job," he said.
Edward opened his mouth to argue, but nothing came out. He couldn't deny that the mutt was right. Edward cast a pained glance at me and I realized he was reading everyone's thoughts, mine included. Sorry, I thought, not feeling very sorry at all.
He was the one that convinced everyone to leave her.
"We need a plan," I said when it was obvious that no one else in my family would. They were too busy in a battle of glares with the dogs.
"We checked all of Forks," grit out Jacob, his eyes never leaving Edward's. "Her scent faded at the backyard of her house."
"What about Charlie? I'm sure Bella would have told him where she was going. Did you question him?" asked Alice, who was clinging onto Jasper like letting go would make him disappear too.
"Of course we checked with him," scoffed Jacob, rolling his eyes. "He doesn't umm –" the mutt hesitated.
"Doesn't what?" demanded Edward. I glanced at my brother and saw the desperation written all over his face. I didn't understand his infatuation with a simple human, but I also didn't like to see any of my family members in pain. No matter whose fault it is.
Jacob deflated, almost like he had given up. "He doesn't even know who Isabella Swan is."
A deadly silence followed his revelation.
"Wh-what?" gasped Alice. "How?"
Jacob scowled again, still looking at the ground. "How should I know? All I know is that we went over to his house to question him and he told me that he honestly did not know an Isabella Swan. He said he had never heard the name in his life. And then he told me to get off his property before he arrested me for harassment and trespassing."
The corner of my mouth twitched at that. If only the mutt had pestered Charlie some more.
"Okay. Well, first, I think we should sneak into Bella's old room and see if we can find anything in there," suggested Carlisle, all of us nodding our heads in agreement.
"I'll do that," offered Edward.
Jacob growled at him. "I'll do it."
"Just, both of you go!" I growled, my anger getting the best of me again. Obviously there wasn't any time for us to be arguing like five year olds.
Edward and the mutt glared at each other one last time before disappearing into the trees.
"What are we supposed to do then?" Emmett asked.
Silence as everyone thought about it.
Alice gracefully dropped onto the grass, sitting down. She must have been in a lot more stress than she was letting on if she allowed her designer clothes to even touch the grass. "We wait," she said.
And so we did.

Any thoughts?
It's a kind of slow start, but I promise it'll pick up soon.
Leave me a review! Thanks.
