Alice

Macy tensed at the word, her free hand inching toward the cap of Blackfyre. She was just about to uncap it when Bella paled suddenly, looking past her half sister.

"That's Carlisle's car, they're here!"Bella exclaimed, clambering out of the truck and starting to rush towards the house.

"Bella, wait! If a Cullen is back here, this is their territory. The treaty says we can only defend our own lands. I can't protect you here."Jacob said, grabbing hold of her arm in an attempt to prevent her from going in.

"They won't hurt me."Bella said, shaking off Jacob's hand and walking into the house.

Jacob and Macy shared a mildly alarmed look before Macy sighed.

"You'll know if you're needed. I should be able to handle this if it's a trick though, I've got Blackfyre."Macy said, pocketing the sword in disguise. 

He stared at her for a second, as if unsure before sighing and nodding.

"If I don't get any sign that you're fine within ten minutes, I'm coming in. If I see you in trouble, I'm calling Paul."He negociated.

Macy didn't even hesitate to nod before running into the house after her reckless half sister. Honestly, she thought. If this way how Percy, Annabeth and Grover felt every time she rushed into a situation, Macy owed them a huge apology.

When Macy got into the house, Macy followed the sounds of the voices into the living room, spotting Bella sitting on the couch with a small, pixie-like woman that was obviously a vampire sitting on the armchair opposite her.

"You have two seconds to tell me who you are or I'm calling the wolves."Macy growled at the vampire, her fingers twitching towards the pocket Blackfyre was in.

"Macy, she's fine, it's Alice Cullen."Bella said, getting up to stand in front of her precious vampire, as if that would stop Macy from attacking. 

Macy narrowed her eyes at the vampire behind her, noticing that she seemed a little on the edge.

"If she's so safe, why is she nervous?"Macy questioned, not taking her eyes off of Alice, who all but twitched under her gaze.

"My instincts, they're telling me that there's someone dangerous close to me."Alice said, her voice like windchimes.

Macy smirked inwardly at her answer, knowing that the danger her instincts was registering was likely her. Before she could give a somewhat taunting response though, the sound of the front door shutting sounded and Macy sighed, turning around to give Jacob a look of annoyance.

"It hasn't been ten minutes yet, Jacob. And as you can see, I'm not in trouble so there's no need to alert Paul."Macy told him.

"You must be the wolf."Came Alice's voice, a sneer firmly in place.

Macy rolled her eyes in response, honestly exasperated.

"For Hecate's sake, knock off the pissing match, would you?"Macy groaned, tuning out the conversation, since she knew they wouldn't listen to her.

A few minutes later though, the sound of the front door opening and closing brought her attention back to the room and she noticed with some relief that Alice had been the one to leave.

"Are there others coming back? How many Cullens are here and how long are they staying?"Jacob asked, as Bella picked up a mug, making to walk into the kitchen.

"No. It's just Alice. And she can stay as long as she like."Bella said, moving around him, leaving the two of them to follow her into the kitchen, though Macy only did because she was thirsty.

Grabbing herself a glass of water, Macy tried to tune out Jacob's nearly hopless declaration of his love for Bella, flinching slightly in sympathy when she heard him whisper his love for her in his native language.

She had heard the words a few times from Paul already, despite not having been dating for long and alwats enjoyed hearing the beautiful language. Now though, Macy just felt sorry for Jacob, hearing the beautiful words come out of his mouth to someone who would never appreciate them or return their meaning in the way he hoped. Mercifully for him though, the phone ringing cut off any reply Bella might have made. He let loose an irritated growl as he grabbed the phone to answer, being the closest one to it.

"Swan residence."He answered before going stiff as a board at whatever was said on the other end of the line.

"He's not here right now. He's arranging a funeral."Jacob ground out before slamming the phone back down onto the receiver.

"Who was it, Jake?"Macy asked, giving him a look of concern, only to be ignored.

"Always in the way."Jacob muttered, seemingly to himself, taking a step away from Bella as faint tremors started, shaking his arms.

"Jacob, who was what?"Bella demanded stupidly, taking a step toward the currently struggling wolf.

"Bella, stay back."He commanded, holding a hand out to prevent her from coming closer, just as Alice appeared in the doorway, a mildly frantic look on her face.

"Bella, it's Edward. He thinks you are dead. Rosalie told him, why I came here."Alice said, much to Macy's confusion.

Bella though, seemed to understand perfectly as she whirled to face Jacob again where she had looked to her precious vampire.

Bella yelled, moving toward Jacob again "Why didn't you let me speak to him?!"

"He didn't ask for you!"He yelled back.

Her groan of exasperation at the apparent soap opera Macy had decided to move in the middle of being drowned out by Bella's deperate cry "I don't care!"

"Bella, he's going to the Volturi. He wants to die too."Alice said solemly, grabbing Bella by the shoulders to convey this message.

Within seconds, Bella's face went from frantic to utterly horror stricken before she rushed up the stairs, somehow, not tripping and coming back down minutes later with her backback and a passport.

"He left you, Bella. He didn't want you anymore, remember?"Jacob said harshly as they followed the she-vamp and Bella outside to the black Mercedes on the other side of the road, the car that Bella had to have recognized when they first got back.

"I don't care, I'm not gonna let him kill himself out of guilt. Cover me with Charlie, alright Macy."Bella said, aiming the last demand at Macy which Macy scoffed at.

"Yeah, no. If you're going somewhere out of the country, which you clearly are judging by the passport, I'm not covering your ugly ass. You're leaving when our dad needs you the most to help him with the death of one of his best friends, to go gallivanting out of the country to stop some emo vampire with a Romeo complex from committing suicide? I won't cover you for that, in fact, I'll be the first person he hears this from."Macy told her, whirling around to go inside to call their dad herself.

"Είθε ο Ερμής να κάνει τα ταξίδια σας δύσκολα, και η Νέμεσις να σας δώσει την τιμωρία που σας αξίζει για την εγκατάλειψη του Πατέρα μας (May Hermes make your travels rough, and may Nemesis give you the retribution you deserve for abandoning our father in his time of need.)"Macy mumbled in Ancient Greek, honestly doubting that the aforementioned god and goddess would really do anything, as it wasn't exactly a prayer to them, though it made Macy feel a little better.

Macy heard the squealing of tires as soon as the door shut behind her, and rolled her eyes at the dramatics of the she-vamp and half sister. Honestly, she'd seen less drama on Olympus and that was really saying something there. Not to be dterrd though, she made her way to the phone and dialed her father, hating herself when she informed that Bella had run off with Alicent Cullen to parts unknown with her passport. How Jacob and her had tried to stop Bella and how he would need her, but that she had gone anyway, expecting Macy to cover for her.

After Charlie broke down a litte bit on the phone, Macy promised him she would have pizza waiting for him when he got back and that she would still be there for him. His relief was nearly palpable, even over the phone and they hung with her able to practically feel his relief. Macy took a deep breath to prevent herself from getting even more angry at Bella over how horrible their father had sounded when she told him that Bella had run off before calling the pizza place and giving their regular order.

"Do you know who the Volturi are?"Jacob's voice asked from behind Macy suddenly just after she got off the phone with the pizza place, making her jump and curse the fact that he could be so quiet when he wanted to be.

"By Olympus, Jacob, don't do that!"Macy scolded, turning to face him and leaning against the counter.

"Yes or no, Macy, do you know who they are?"He asked again, ignoring the light scolding as he scowled angrily.

Macy looked at him for a second, trying to figure out why he was asking before sighing, deciding to just tell him what she knew.

"Yeah, I know who they are. First things first though, vampires are a creation of Lord Hades and Aphrodite. Some mortal insulted them both, and they took offense to it, so boom, they curse him and the first vampire is created. Over time, that one bit someone and so on and so forth until the vampire race is a larger population than you would like. Now, sometime around 3,000 years ago, three men from Greece were all sired by the same vampire. Aro of Thebes, Caius of Spartha and Marcus of Athens. They were all devout in their worship of the gods and eventually, when they aspired to become the ruling coven, prayed the gods for luck in their endeavor. As they never stopped praying and worshipping the gods, they were blessed to succeed and they formed the Voltui coven. Though they feed on humans, they remain faithful to the gods, and so they make sure to keep the three as the rulers. I don't quite remember where they set up shop, but if Aro hears the Greek in Alice's mind, it may cover Bella's ass for a little while."Macy explained.

"What makes you so sure she'll be safe?"He asked, looking slightly relieved at the information that Bella may be safer for a little but but still worried.

"Two reasons. First, I mentioned two gods when I spoke, that'll be enough to get his attention. Second, they've met my mother once. And I'm her carbon copy in looks, so it should make them just long enough to know she's related to me to find out if I'm related to her. The Volturi would never do anything to purposely displease the gods, they're not stupid."Macy told him, completely assured in that fact. 

Jacob nodded, calmer now after apparently checking his sincere Macy seemed in regard to Bella's safety.

Soon after, Macy saw him out the door as he headed back to the reservation to help with the consequences of Harry's sudden death, the pizza arriving just as he left. All she could do now was wait for her dad to come home and be the support that he needed right now with the lost of his friend and his eldest daughter running off.
