Advices
Three days passed since Bella had run off, each passing day only serving to piss Charlie off more regarding the situation, especially since Bella had missed the funeral, which happened on the second day she was gone. The pack had decided to throw a bonfire as a proper send off for one of the tribal elders which Macy had been reluctant to go to, only agreeing when her dad insisted. It was at the bonfire that Macy had found out what really happened to cause Harry's heart attack.
He and his daughter Leah had gotten into an argument and she had become so angry that she had phased right in the middle of the living room of her house. Harry had been so shocked to see her phase that his already weak heart couldn't handle the surprise. Leah's brother Seth had phased after Harry had been pronounced dead, resulting two very shocked and grieving wolves, one of which blaming herself for the death of her father. As if that hadn't been odd enough, Leah was Sam's ex girlfriend, and Emily's cousin. Paul had explained to Macy that Sam had been dating Leah when he had phased and imprinted on Emily when she came down from another reservation to visit and that Leah held a bitter resentment towards both of them for it. They had also been brought in on the secret of what Macy was, and alpha ordered to secrecy.
Surprisingly enough to the rest of the pack, Leah and Macy had actually bonded over it, especially once she found out that Macy asked Nico to make sure her father was taken straight to Elysium. Macy was now the only member of the pack that was safe from her anger besides Piper and had pretty much become her best friend. Leah had also imprinted on Jason. Seth just found the whole thing cool and asked Macy, Piper and Jason train sometime.
Currently though, Macy was sitting next to her dad on the couch, watching a game with him when they both heard the sounds of cars coming to a stop in front of the house.
Macy was wearing a top with a leather jacket, a jean and some boots.
Charlie sprang to his feet at the sound, practically puffed with righteous anger as he threw open the door and stormed out. Macy followed at a more sedate pace, letting her dad have his fun in shouting at Bella and her ex-Romeo from the sounds of it. When she got to the door, she saw her dad arguing with a bronze haired vampire who apparently didn't know what a comb was that was holding Bella like she was a dam doll.
"Hey Dad, is the one who apparently doesn't know about the existence of combs the one who left Bella catonic in the middle of the woods?"Macy asked innocently, enjoying the scandalized looks penny-head got from the rest of his coven.
"Yeah, this is him."He growled, trying once again to separate Bella from her boy-toy.
Macy smirked down at him, letting a little bit of her hidden sadistic side show through the action, earning a very pleasing shiver of fear.
"Hey asshole, I'm half Greek on my mother's side and it's tradition to burn our dead. If you hurt Bella again, I'll go so far as to flush the ashes like the little shit you are, got me?"Macy asked sweetly, knowing her eyes flashed with power.
He nodded so fast he could have been mistaken for a bobble-head, and Macy relished the terror she saw in his eyes.
"Good, now hand Bella over to my dad and get gone, before I end getting a bit match happy anyway."Macy said, loving that her dad was just ignoring her threats.
She may think that Bella was completely stupid and brainless for dating a vampire, but she was still family and like her cousin Percy, her fatal flaw was loyalty. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on who looked at it, vamp-boy handed Bella over and Charlie immediately turned to take her inside. Once he was out of sight though, Macy smirked wickedly again before making the gesture to ward off evil, enjoying the way all the vampires present were knocked back against their cars. It usually worked on Greek monsters, though it had worked on a mortal before. Snickering, Macy turned and flounced back inside, slamming the door in finality. She headed up the stairs to Bella's room, still snickering slightly, arriving just as Charlie was opening her window a crack.
"Asshole and company are gone."Macy informed him in a whisper and received a nod in return.
"Good, let's her sleep. I'll yell at her some more when she can be awake for it."He said and Macy shrugged before leaving the way out of her room and back downstairs.
Once they were back on the couch, she noticed her dad more staring into space than focusing on the game.
"Alright, get it out before you truly blow up on her later."Macy said, hitting the 'mute' button on the remote.
Charlie gave her a slightly skeptical expression before seeing Macy's nod and letting out an impressive rant.
"Just what the hell was she thinking running off with Alice Cullen? I found out outside that she went to Italy. Italy, Macy! And for what, him? I didn't like that boy the moment I met him and he's done nothing but prove to me that I shouldn't trust him. So why on earth would Bella run off to Italy for him, especially when he left her broken in the woods for crying out loud! It's like she just forgot everything he did to her and decided to take him back with open arms! I thought I would have to put her in a mental hospital months ago and she just goes and pretends that nothing happened the second she sees any of his family? I raised her better than this, hell Renee did too! The Bella we raised was independant as hell and would never let a man walk all over like this, much less treat her the way he does! We never raised her to be so dependant on a man and I'm honestly ashamed that she's turned out like that. I don't know what to do anymore, Macy, I really don't."He ranted, looking at his daughter with broken eyes.
Macy pulled him into a hug, not knowing what to say in response to his worries as a parent. The tight grip he had on her though, truly conveyed the fact that he was at the end of his rope as he wasn't exactly one for physical affection. When they finally pulled back though, she looked him in the eye, making sure her face was open and kind.
"Why don't you try calling Aunt Sally for some advice? Like all demigods and like me, Percy was a trouble kind and although he never did anything like this, I think you should try getting some advice from her. I'll call Paul to have him inform Jacob that Bella's back and get started on lunch while you do that if you'd like."Macy offered, knowing that Sally would be able to offer up some good advice on what to do.
He nodded and stood to go call Sally, and Macy pulled out the phone she had gotten from Hermes that allowed her to make calls with no monsters detecting her and dialed Paul.
"Yeah?"He answered shortly and Macy allowed herself a small smile at his gruff attitude.
"It's me, Bella's back, but so are the rest of the Cullens and it looks like they're back to stay."Macy told him and heard him give a low curse at the information.
"You didn't try to run them through with Blackfyre?"He asked, sounding half hopeful, eliciting a giggle from her in response.
"No, there were witnesses. And besides, they're only Greek monsters by technicality, they didn't to attack me because of my scent."Macy replied, receiving a sigh in response.
"Damn, it sucks that there were witnesses. I'd love to get rid of the Cullens, but sadly the treaty stands in the way of that. If you had to run them through though, it would've been fine."He said.
"Yeah, well I didn't. Bella's currently asleep and I've got Charlie getting advice on what to do with her now from my aunt. Apparently, going to Italy wiped her out, which is mildly surprising since I thought the Volturi would've been in Greece, being Greek and all. I guess they wanted to avoid fighting over who's home city they would go to."Macy said, shrugging despite him not being able to see her.
"Yeah, Jake told us about the leaders. You really think they'll keep off Bella's ass since she's related to you?" He asked and Macy sighed, running a hand through her hair.
"I hope so, but it's no guarantee. They do have one law that's heavily enforced and that's no human can know their secret. If a human finds out, it's 'turn them or kill them' to protect the secret of their race. Since the gods are so secretive, it's not a law that was disputed. Now that they know she knows, she's to be turned or killed, Paul. Her relation to me would only buy her some time, not to make her exempt like I am."Macy told him, having brushed up on vampire laws to make sure she knew what was going on.
He groaned in reply and Macy could hear what sounded like him face-palming.
"Jacob's not gonna like that and you know it."He said, drawing a groan from Macy.
"Yeah, tell me about it. But it's out of my hands, only my mother would be able to order tham not to turn her and she won't do that since it's just one mortal. If Bella was my half sister from my maternal side of the family, maybe she would do that but she's not and Ajax has told her that I'm not too fond of her."Macy said, smirking at the snort of amusement that escaped him.
Macy had made no secret that she wasn't too fond of Bella and the entire pack knew it. She only defended her because she was family and she was loyal to her family. Until Bella did something to betray that loyalty, Macy would defend her. What Bella didn't know was how close she has to become to doing just that.
"He'll get over it then. I've gotto go, Macy, I've gotta inform the pack and the elders that the Cullens are back. I love you though."He said, making her smile.
"I love you too. Talk to you later."Macy said, before hanging up and walking into the kitchen.
She found her dad deep in conversation with Aunt Sally and waved to indicate that she wanted him to pass a greeting along to her before getting started on a simple lunch of grilled ham and cheese sandwitches. Their conversation finished just as she was setting the plates on the tables.
"Your aunt says she loves you and that she and your uncle and Percy miss you."He said, sitting down.
Macy smiled and nodded at the information, idly wondering when she should introduce Paul to her aunt and her uncle. It would sure be amusing when they discovered the two had the same name. Tough, not as interesting as it had been when Paul finally met her mom.
"What did she say about the Bella situation, any god advice?"Macy asked, taking a bite of her sandwitch.
"Yeah, she agreed that Bella should definitely be grounded until further notice, but since I can't do anything to keep the two apart at school, to put her on house arrest. She's only allowed to leave the house to go to work and school until I say otherwise and if she wants, he has to come here but he'll be out by no later than four."He said and Macy nodded once again, happy that her dad would be laying down the law with Bella.
The rest of the day passed by quite smoothtly after that, with Charlie happy about the new rules for Bella and Macy content to spend some time with him. They had ordred pizza agin for dinner, making sure to save some for Bella, who had still not woken up yet. Macy wondered briefly how little sleep she had gotten on her impromptu trip for her to be this far into Hypnos clutches. Charlie and Macy finally gave up on waiting for Bella to wake up and went to bed around 10, only for Macy to fall right into a demigod dream involving a large group of people with red eyes. Macy knew instantly what they belonged to; Vampires.
Unknowingly to her, both Jason and Piper had the same dream.
A/N So this is the end of New Moon. I'll be starting Eclipse soon. And my question I'm thinking of making dragons exist and being the creations of Hades and Hecate. And Macy riding one, you know kinda like Percy ride Blackjack. Should I do it? Give me your answer in the comment section. Enjoy reading this chapter.
