Through the Eyes of a Demigod || Twilight & Percy Jackson {slow.updates}

I Turned into a Tomato. Great!

The Cullens were . . . gone. Like, I should be happy or something. I mean, that's less monsters out to get me. But that girl, Bella, she's been like the walking dead ever since they left. I actually felt bad for her. But at the same time, I didn't fel bad.

When the Cullens packed up and left town, Bella went missing for hours. Her dad's the chief of police or something like that so it was a big deal.

I was worried for the girl -- what if the Cullend decided to bring her along or drain her blood before they left? -- but I couldn't do anything to help with the search party outside. I was pretty much stuck at home, which annoyed me to no end. I'm being kinda selfish for saying this but she went missing when her precious vampires went AWOL. If she didn't willingly leave with them, I would have understood. But she freakin' worried everyone because she was desperately "in love" with her vampire boyfriend.

If I didn't know any better, I would think that a bite from a vampire would make her a slave of said vampire. But the Cullens had told me that when a vampire bites a human, they either drain the human or else the mortal turns into a sparklepire. Not exactly in those words but whatevs. It's that quick and simple. And since Bella Swan was still a living, breathing human girl, I'd say that she wasn't bitten which could only mean that she was "in love" with that Cullen and now she's all brokenhearted. I think the heartbreak is a fitting punishment for being stupid.

Months after their mysterious disappearance, life went on as usual. Well, my life and probably everyone else's. Bella turned into zombie-girl. I actually almost forgot about about sparklepires. If it weren't for the brunette, the past year could have been a real vivd dream.

I'm being insensitive, I know. The girl did nothing wrong escept fall in love. With the wrong person. Monster. Vampire. Whatever.

Anyway, I had been hanging out with the guys a lot less. My junior year was doing a good job at keeping me busy. I really missed those idiots. And that's why I decided to spend a little more time with them this weekend.

I headed on over to Jake's but he was grounded. Billy said something about a prank, which I was not informed of. Quil, too, wasn't allowed to have visitors. For the same reason. Seriously, how much fun can they have while I'm gone? Do I really have to miss out on whatever they have planned?

Well, I guess that just leaves Embry. Tiffany Call is an awesome mom so she might let me visit if the idiot was grounded.

I knocked on the door and Tiffany answered it. "Hi Lee!"

"Hi Tiffany. Is Embry home?"

"He's grounded."

"I heard," I mumbled. "I just wanted to check up on him. And I'm really super bored."

"You can come in," Tiffany told me just before I could go on any further.

"Thanks."

"He's in his room. I'll go call him." She called out Embry's name as we both walked into the living room. "So, how's school?" she asked me.

"Boring," I replied. "So, what did they do that earned them a grounding?"

"You don't need to know."

"Aww, come on. It's not like I'll do the same thing."

"I know. You'll try to do something much worse because you can't have them outprank you."

"You know me so well, Ms. Call."

"Well, I have to. Em-"

"Since when did you two become best friends?"

I squealed, jumping up from my seat on the couch, and pulled him into a hug. Gods, I had no idea how much I missed this boy. Errr, the boys. But Embry was the only one here so... nevermind.

"So, you missed me, huh, Lee?"

I pulled away from him to retort but had just noticed that he was shirtless. I think my face was turning a bit red as I muttered an excuse. He was smirking and I hit his shoulder.

"You're not that hot. I like my guys with a little more mucscle on them," I muttered. His smirk faltered but it reappeared after a moment.

"Why are you blushing, Lee Lee?"

"Uhh..." I wasn't exactly a smart kid in school but I was pretty sure I was supposed to make some witty comment or something.

Embry laughed before pulling me onto the couch. We talked -- that's pretty much all we did.

In the middle of Embry's story -- he was telling me about their prank -- Tiffany told us that she was going out with some friends. Before the door slammed shut, she yelled, "Just keep it PG, you two. I'm still too young for grandchildren."

What the Hades? Why would she say something like that?

"Hey, Lee, are you okay? You're face is all red. You kinda look like a tomato. ou probably would definitely look like one if you dyed your hair green." Embry chuckled and I tried to hide my face.

I turned into a tomato. Well, that's just great!

I glared at my best friend. "Just continue your amazing story." And as he did, I tried to think of a much better prank.
