I had this chapter written for a while, but I had never published it for i had too many stories going on.

Hope you like it and I don't own Percy Jackson

Victoria sat by the fire along with her clan. Her mate sat by her holding her hand, her mother was staring at the fire, deep in thought. The rest of the clan was sitting around, joking, talking, kissing, and laughing. Then the leader, her mom's second mate, stood up and all the attention went to him.

"Hello my clan, my family, my friends. As you can tell, it is half moon, a time for us to celebrate. Tonight, a young cat, unclaimed, will get claimed tonight. After that, we will hunt with the newest claimed cat!" He yelled. Victoria stood up and cheered along with other people. The young cat was the leaders brother son. He was 10 tonight. At the age of ten, every young cat comes out, half moon or not, and waits for the inner cat take form, Victoria remembered hers.

I was looking at the moon,which was almost half-moon, waiting for the inner cat to show. Waiting for my senses to sharpen. My mother and her mate waited anxiously for my form along with the rest of the clan. I knew that once I get my inner cat let out, I was the heir of the clan. I will rule the clan once my step-father dies's. I will rule along side with my mate, whoever he was. Then I felt my form change. I could feel hair growing in a instant, my limbs and bones changing, growing bigger. I knew I was a wild cat now. I look around and my clan had change into their cat form. There was a nod from my step-father and we ran into the woods, looking for a meal.

I look on the youngster. I felt like the leader that moment. I was proud of my clan, we had more cats than the enemy clan, which was full of wild cats that was like us, but born evil. In this clan, one never went bad. Our clans was so big, animals and other clans of different shape-shifters knew to stay away, far away, if they weren't part of the battle. Then I saw the young cat's form change. He change to a Sand Cat, the first one in two generations. They were great fighters. I changed into my the cat in me, Bengal Tiger, and the clan started to hunt. I found a doe and I pounced. I quickly ate it but the meal did not fill my belly. I knew better though. On hunting night, you are only allowed one piece of meat. No matter how large or small it is. This rule kept the animals from going extinct in this forest, and also letting the humans know there was something in this forest. I licked my lips and ran off to home.

I woke up next to John. I smiled. I kissed his lips lightly. He woke and smiled.

"How did you sleep my darling?" He asked me.

"Wonderful. How did you sleep?"

"I always sleep wonderfully with you next to me." I smiled. I love him, so much! This bond was stronger than most bounds in this clan. Most can stay away from their mates for a week, we can't stay away from each other longer than a day, and barley. I got up and grabbed shorts, bra, underwear, and a tank top. I changed, and waited for John to finish.

"I change faster than you." He was only just putting pants on. I smirked.

"How is that something you take pride in?" He asked.

"It means I am not a slow cat." He raised his eyebrows. He dropped the shirt he was about to put on and started chasing me. I shrieked and ran away from him. He chased my out of the cabin and ended up catching me.

"Let me go!"

"Until you say I am not a slow cat!" Other cats started looking on smiling, especially my mother. She loves that we have such a playful bond. Not many other cats were surprised, this happens everyday.

"I will never! "

"I won't let you go!"

"Never!" I changed to my cat form, making sure my claws were in, and lightly smacked him on the head. He changed into his cat form, Cheetah, and chased me. We ran all the way to New York, and stopped in the middle of no where. We changed back, panting to death.

"You.. you..did...not...ca...catch..me." I panted.

"You were the one to stop first." He said, already recovering.

"Stupid Cheetah." I muttered. He was about to attack me but we caught a scent. The scent of an enemy cat. We immediately changed into our cat forms, waiting for the cat to appear.

One thing that is nice about being on the good side, that is the enemy can't smell us, we can smell them. A jaguar appeared smelling really badly, worst than usual.

I took the right, John took the left. We both pounced and attacked him. He tried to attack back but he got killed, really quickly, it appeared he was weak.

We change back to our human form. We smiled at each other and turned around. There was a snake lady.

"Hello. Sssssssssso, you want to play?" The snake lady said. John and me changed into our cat forms,again, catching the snake lady by surprise, and we attacked. We kept trying to kill her but she kept blocking us. Then a arrow shot by us, narrowly missing John and the snake lady exploded into dust. I changed back to my human form.

"What the!" I yelled. I winced at my wounds on my belly, it was healing already, and looked at my chest which was covered of dust.

"John, two things. What was that and where did that F#$% arrow come from?" John knew I was angry if I spoke cuss words.

"Turn around will you?" A voice said. We turned around and their was a horse? Man? Whatever. Horse man, and a girl that had brilliant grey eyes. I blinked.

"Did you see, all of that?" John asked.
"You mean from the moment that you came here on the speed you have? Yes." The horse man said.

"Well, who side are you on? If you are on the good side, put down the stupid bow and arrow, and
the dagger. No weapons, unless you get our teeth." I said.

"Well, we can't do that unless you tell us, what you are." The girl said. I cussed. Man, the day
sucks already.
