Found (PJO/ Twilight Crossover)

29. Cliff Diving Take Two

I was looking back through my earlier chapter and I have been writing this for two years. It doesn't feel like it's been two years. That's so long.

~(Bella's Pov)~

"So how am I actually supposed to do this," I asked looking over the edge of the cliff from a good distance away.

"When you jump just to make sure you go in feet first and keep your arms close to you and remember to blow out your nose when hit the water" Rora explained, she was a lot close to the edge than me. 

"Are you sure it's safe?" I asked remembering the last time I was looking into this water. We weren't at the top we were at the lowest place.

"We'll be fine. I'll go first so I can make sure everything is ok. If I get badly hurt the water will just heal me anyway but if you're not comfortable we can walk back down." She had turned to look at me while she was talking.

I was just about to answer when Rora's head snapped up and she started glaring into the tree. I was worried till I saw the giant smile that replaced the previous worried face. Only one person made her smile like that. She and Paul were still trying to work their relationship out but you could tell they cared for each imprint or not. 

 "Paul, what are you doing here?" I don't know how she can tell where he is in the shadowed forest but I had no doubts that she was right.

"Embry saw you guys up here and told me," Paul said walking out of the forest. At first, I was surprised he was human then I was surprised that I was actually expecting a giant wolf instead of a human. seriously what has my life become.

"Well we are cliff diving care to join us," Rora said taking her jacket and shoes off. 

"Does Jake know you're doing this?" Paul asked 

"He does not get to dictate everything in my life and the ocean is literally the safest place for me" Rora and Jake had a very strange relationship they loved and protected each other but then the next minute they hated each other and seemed ready to murder the other.

"Not gonna touch that" I heard Paul whisper. There was no way Rora didn't hear but she chose to ignore it and was making her way to the edge again.

"So you guys ready," She asked throwing her stuff over the edge. She had already told me she was planning on doing that so we wouldn't have to hike back up to get it again.

"Yeah, who's going first?" Paul asked also taking his shoes off and throwing them over the edge. He didn't even ask why but just blindly followed Rora. They are so cute together.

"She is so she will be down there when I go" I answered. I had already told Alice so there wouldn't be another incident. Edward had almost not let me come because of it but Rora had convinced him. 

"I'll go last in case you need help up her" Paul said. He and I didn't really talk much but we usually ran into each other at Billy's house. 

"Alright see you down there" That was the last thing Rora said before she just casually jumped off and over the edge.

"She really doesn't let anything stop her" I commented looking at where she had just been a moment ago.

"You see her over the pack link. She has the craziest stories" Paul said with an exasperated expression on his face.

A whistle cut through the air from the water. That was the signal for me to know it was safe to come down.

"The things I do for her" I sigh as I go to make my jump.

"Have fun" Paul laughed. And then I was just falling through nothingness

The last time I jumped I was too focused on seeing Edward again to fully enjoy the experience. You could tell why people enjoyed doing this. It was fun but just as I got used to it I hit the water. Rora was right it was nothing like last time this time the water was gentler and pushed me up once I went under. 

"See fun right" Rora smiled absolutely soaked

"I think twice is enough for me" I joked

"Well, at least you have a good memory to replace the old one" She pulled me away to make room for Paul to jump next. She whistled again and we saw him jump whooping the whole way down. Rora started laughing when she heard him. He made a giant splash that made me glad that she had moved us.

"Still better up higher" Paul resurfaced and swam a little towards us.

"Maybe next time when we don't have a newbie. No offense" Rora assured him

"None taken," I said my teeth chattering slightly. It was one of the warmer days and it wasn't raining which was nice. I swear since Rora got here it rained even more than before.

"You're cold here let's get to the beach. Paul can you take her so I can get the stuff" Rora said sort of passing me off.

"Sure you can swim right," Paul asked me

"Yeah just not that well" I answered honestly

"I'll help you guys just be careful there's a shark around here. I told her to leave you alone but just in case you get to take the express way" Why did she have to say there was a shark in the water. I would have been perfectly fine not knowing that.

"I say we go back now and not test it" I voted

"We'll start making our way back," Paul told Rora. She nodded before she went back under the water. We started swimming back but then a wave came up and pushed us most of the way back. That must have been what Rora meant when she said 'express way'. 

We made it back but she was already waiting on the beach for us with a pile of our stuff next to her. She looked perfectly dry. Demigod perks I guess.

"Here Bella you can take my jacket" She held it out to me when we made it to her. The jacket was also dry.

"Mind doing some of that water magic stuff on us," Paul asked doing some indecipherable hand gestures.

Rora sighed but she was smiling and all the water just slid off of us and into the sand. She had told me that whenever the pack asked her to do any demigod thing (which wasn't very often) that they would do some movement to demonstrate and that it had turned into a game to see who could do the most ridiculous one.

"Well I'm still cold so I'm gonna head home. Anyone need a ride?" I offered. It was cold even dry and on a warm day. I'm pretty sure the only reason Rora even brought a jacket was for me because I know they tend to run hot.

"I'm fine, I gotta meet my dad," Paul said putting his shoes back on.

"I'll pass too. That water woke me up so I'm gonna go for a short run home" Rora also answered. I tried giving the jacket back to her but she refused to say she would get it from me later.

After saying my goodbyes I started back to my car.

~(Aurora's pov)~

I had to back track a little to find a safe place to shift so I wouldn't be seen on the way back to the house. I had to hold all my clothes in my mouth which was uncomfortable because I didn't bring my bag to the cliff. It was worth it though to do that with Bella even though I had to keep stopping because I dropped a shoe. I got behind the house and got dressed before walking around to the front.

I ran into the mailman and was glad that I had shifted. He gave me the mail and we talked about the good weather for short while. Before I continued into the house.

"Got the mail" I shouted and dumped it all down on the table

"Thanks, Rosie" Jake said going to pick through it

I was making my way to my room to get a change of clothes because I had gotten wolf slobber over everything despite my best efforts to keep it clean. I was just about to strip when I heard the door slam shut.

Yay! Another cliffhanger I know everyone just loves them. But I'm guessing everyone already knows what was in the mail. Anyway please comment! (1,426 words)
