Green Flickering Lights - Werewolves AU
Part I
Poseidon, the alpha of pack Atlantis, summons the pack to their den. "Father," Percy - Poseidon's oldest son - approach him first. "Why have you called us?" The two green orbs were identical to his, "We have new neighbors." The entire pack seem to be listening now, some cringe and others snarl. Werewolves were social animals but past incidents had falsely accuse of not open themselves to the rest of the world.
"A-are they, you know, werewolves?" Dylan, Percy's cousin and Poseidon's nephew, asked. Poseidon nodded, the others sigh in relief. Vampires and humans are the worst, most of them thought. Luke -Dylan's older brother - grinned, "When can we met them?" A few nod in agreement, Percy looked between his father and Luke. "Tomorrow, I've already some of them. Their pack is called Athens. The alpha is Fredrick and the female alpha is called Athena. They have five pups (children)."
Thalia, one of Percy's best friend, whistled. "Damn, they must be busy..." Everyone chuckled, even Poseidon who rarely shows emotion. "Get some sleep everybody, we've lots to do tomorrow." Percy announced.
Part II
Poseidon post the newly release ranks.
Alphas: Poseidon and his mate, Sally. Betas: Percy and his cousin, Luke. Deltas: Thalia and her younger brother, Jason. The rest were wolves and pups. Wolves: Grover and his mate, Juniper. Beckendorf and his mate, Silena. Leo and his mate, Calypso. Travis with his mate, Katie. Others without mates were also put in this rank. Rachel, Reyna, and more. Pups: Tyson, Percy's little brother. Dylan, Percy's little cousin and Luke's brother. Tara, Thalia and Jason's baby sister. Maeve, Reyna's only sister.
There were no omegas (yet). Percy also had an older brother, Triton, who disappear briefly after he was born. They never found him, but Sally sense he is still alive and well.
Percy felt a strong hand around his shoulder, "Perseus." He shutters at his given name, "Yes?" Poseidon smiled, overwhelmed by his son's growth. "I'm growing old, we all are. When I'm gone, I want you to be the pack's alpha."
Everyone in the room ears perk up. "I'm honor to be." Percy lied smoothly, the pack didn't seem to notice but cheer loudly.
Part III
Their neighbor invited them over at their land. Poseidon gracefully accepts, already taking a liking to them. Percy, on the other hand, felt sketchy. What if they ambush us? He thought when they cross their area. His nerve-wrecking moments melt away when they step their paws onto the beautifully crafted landscape. Their house (den) was painted in a green that crossed with the white outline perfectly.
Their pack members, to his surprise, were friendly. None of them hesitated to greet Percy's pack. "Poseidon!" The alpha, Fredrick, called. "Ah, young friend. Gorgeous home you have." They started to talk and feast until the night sky appear.
Percy learnt they have multiple regions they protect. Here, would be their headquarters. They have five children, four boy and one girl. Two of them, their oldest son - Malcolm - and their youngest daughter, a name Percy didn't catch, were leaders at an area in California. He wonders how they cope on missing them, San Francisco is very far from New York.
"They visit." Athena, with a sad expression, said. "Hardly." Thalia mumble. Does Thalia know them? Does Jason too? Percy looked between them. He'll ask them later.
Part IV
"Do you know them?" Thalia and Jason had blank expressions. "What do you mean?" They said at the same time, confirming. "Have you met them?" Percy crossed his arms, obviously curious. Before they would answer, Poseidon called for them. "Practice!"
When they came back into their den, most collapse in exhaustion. Thalia and Jason avoided Percy for the rest of the week, he clearly got the message. They didn't want to talk about it.
Part V
Percy's pack and the neighbors got along well, they became actual close friends. Practically family. Connor, one of their members, happen to be Travis' long lost twin brother. "Stolls!" They chanted throughout the night (much to Katie's annoyance).
"I thought one Stoll was already too much but now, another? God. We're all going to die!" Katie joked, nudging Travis' chest lightly. "That's so hurtful." Connor mocked hurt with one hand to his heart. "I mean, you love Travis so you must love me. Right?"
They all chuckled when Connor fake kissed Katie's palm. "Back off." Travis hissed, pulling his blushing girlfriend closer. "Mine." He muttered, though serious.
Part VI
"Jason, why are you red?" Tyson asked. Jason looked taken back, "W-what do you mean?" He felt completely stupid shuttering in front of a six years old. "Why are your cheeks," Tyson put both of his hands below his eyes, "red?"
"Uh? Because, when your older-" Tyson gagged, unaware of Jason's lies. Minutes afterwards, he noticed. "Tell me the truth. It's wrong to lie, especially to a kid."
Jason blush even harder. God, this kid is smart. He sighs, accepting defeat. "You know the girl we just hunt with?" Tyson nodded, "The one with brown hair and rainbow-like eyes?"
"They're kaleidoscope." He said, suddenly offended. "I mean. Yeah, her." Tyson, the evil little punk he is, smirked. "Do you like her?" This kid, I swear this kid is just... Jason thought. "Uh. Um. She's nice and cute and, ahem - maybe."
"Do you love her?"
Part VII
"P-Poseidon." Cindy, a small pup from Athens, called. Her eyes were redden, from crying, and small cuts were on her arm. "Vampires! They're here." She shutters as Thalia pick her up, cooing in comfort. "What? Vampires shouldn't be in this area at this time of year." Percy, Luke, Jason, Beckendorf, Rachel, Reyna, and Travis changed into wolves and started heading toward Athens.
When they got there, most Athenians were covered in their own blood with loud cuts on their backs. Abnormal vampires? Rachel asked everyone in their wolf link. No, newborns. Reyna replies. Percy nod, walking in front of the pack. Careful, Perce. Beckendorf alerted, sniffing the air.
Almost instantly a pale figure launch itself at the pack. Atlantis! It hissed, charging full-speed at Reyna. The dark grey wolf snarls and pounce onto the vampire. Reyna, no! Jason shouted, but it was too late. The newborn vampire wrap its arms our her waist then drop her when the pleasure-filling sound surrounded its ears. Reyna whimpers, cringing at her newly broken ribs.
Travis, Rachel carry her back to Atlantis! Percy ordered, analyzing the dangerous woods. They could jump out of anywhere, be careful. The frizzy red coated wolf (Rachel) warned. Percy looked over at Jason, who shiver in fear but continue to move forward. Reyna's going to be fine. She's tough.
Perseus? He turn to a familiar sandy brown alpha wolf laying on the ground. Fredrick? What happen here? Percy came closer as the pack surrounds him. They just came, we couldn't sense them or anything. Fredrick recalled weakly, he looked so lifeless. Before he became limp he said to Percy, find George. He's still alive.
George was one of Fredrick's son, about 3 years younger than Percy. He nodded. Everyone, stay close. No attacking until I command it. They continue searching the grounds, stumbling over injured friends, then they heard several screams and trees falling a few yards away.
The Atlantians sprint toward the noises, a large boulder was on top of George's leg. Percy! Jason! He called, almost joyful. Which was hard when you're suffering under a rock. Another pale figure, taller than the last, jumped out of the tree, onto the boulder. George, George. Don't be afraid. It cooed, tracing its witch-like finger across the small copper-brown wolf's throat. He whimpers, practically begging. Help!
Beckendorf, Jason, and Percy leaped toward the vampire. Jason tear at its back while Percy took the killer bite in the back of its neck. Beckendorf pushing the rock off the poor, defenseless George. We have to leave, there's more of them.
Part VIII
They had to leave the other injured werewolves back in Athens, carrying George back to Atlantis. Reyna, George, and Cindy were being treated in the infirmary by Calypso. Thalia cradle Maeve and Tara in her arms. Percy, Jason, and Beckendorf turn back into their human form and head toward the living room, trying to create a plan. "We need more help. They outnumber us by who knows how many." Percy announced, "Does anyone know others who could help?"
Thalia and Jason shift uncomfortably. Connor and Piper, the other two that survived the attack hung their heads low. "Malcolm," Thalia started. "Annabeth." Jason finished. Poseidon stared at them, "Who?"
"Fredrick's and Athena's other two children. In San Francisco. They lead a pack of over 40, they would help us. T-they're our cousins." Jason confesses. Percy nodded, "Do you know how to contact them?"
Piper and Connor raised their heads, "We know how to."
Part IX
In a matter of days, a large sun dawn brown wolf with - what looks like - 20 others gather around Atlantis. "Malcolm!" Thalia, Piper, Connor, and Jason hugged him in greeting. Poseidon and Percy head toward the alpha. "Poseidon, Perseus." He bow his head, "I've heard lots about you."
"Likewise." Percy said. "I thought you had 40 members in your pack." Malcolm nodded, "We do. But my sister and I spilt the group to maintain better orders. I lead to the southern Spartans and she leads the northern Spartans. She has unfinished duties back in California. She'll be here shortly with the others."
"That's very smart to do. Large amounts of members will need space." Poseidon patted Malcolm's shoulder, impressed. "It was my sister's idea."
Part X
With all the Atlantians and the southern Spartans they head toward Athens. When they got there they didn't expect to see most of the wounded corpses they saw yesterday disappear. What happen here? Percy asked the others in his wolf form. My sister has came, she probably gather all the bodies into a local cave or somewhere for protection. Malcolm said, sniffing around for a double take.
I honestly want to meet this big-shot Annie. Luke glowered. Thalia sent him a deep scrowl and continue walking. A bush shuffle. Whose there? Piper cooed. A tiny, dark red coated wolf pops her head out. Her coffee-brown eyes widen when they met Piper's kaleidoscopes. Ella! Piper nudged the pup in delight. Pipes, Pipes. She nudged back, follow me. I'll show you the others. Atlantians looked over at Malcolm for insurances. He nodded, confidence.
They reach a dark, water-dripping cave. More wolves perk their ears up, some were in human form treating the Athenians. Guys! It's the southern Spartans and some Atlantis! Ella announced, turning into human form.
Some eyed Ella then at the others. Thalia? Jason? A grey-colored wolf approach the two teenagers. Trish? Is that you? Where's Annabeth? Thalia spoke first, also changing into a human being.
Trish, the wolf, changed to human form to embrace Thalia. "It's me. Annabeth's out, she's looking for Matthew and George." Percy's head shot up when the names Matthew and George came up. "We rescue George but we haven't seen Matthew around." He said, imagining the two twined pups with their blonde locks and blue eyes.
Part XI
"We're going to look for Annabeth." Malcolm and Thalia announced. "Percy and Luke will go too." Poseidon added, nudging his unwillingly son and nephew toward the exit.
In a matter of minutes a soft whimper came from another bush. Matthew? Luke asked, hopefully. The identical looking pup came out from the bush, Guys? Thalia pounced onto of Matthew, Are you okay? Where's Annabeth? Is she okay? Did she find you?
She found me and told me to go hide. I'm pretty sure she's by the lake. The young kid whimpered again. I'll take Mat back to the cave, you guys go find Anna. She grab his neck and drag him back.
The loud clash of fighting echo throughout the trees. A winter-like white wolf was surrounded by three vampires. The tallest one, probably the leader, leaped on her first. She kicked him away and grab him by the neck, biting merciless. The other two prance on her back only to be shook off and thrown to a tree, cracking like fragile china plates.
She turn to met Percy's eyes. He practically froze in place, stormy grey orbs that seem to pull him closer. Annabeth. He heard Malcolm whispered.
