Before you start reading I'd just like to say first I do not own PJO that honor goes to Rick Riordan.

And second I'm posting this to get some feedback on it and I'd just like to warn you this story will only get updated every so often because I don't have much time and my storys beast of Heroes and Child of wisdom and the sea have priority since they came first. Now enjoy!

-Fang and friends-

Artemis POV

I'm not sure what is was but from the moment I woke up I knew that day was going to be a day unlike any other. When I woke up that morning everything seemed just so still like all of nature is holding its breath. No birds chirped nor twigs rustled in the wind, all was still. Stepping out of my tent I gathered the hunters and set out hoping to find a few deer to replenish our food stores.

We discovered a small herd of deer nearly two hours before dark. "Shall we have our usual wager Artemis?" Orion asked.

"Indeed we shall." I said as we drew back the strings on our bows. The wager was simple, whoever caught the bigger deer got to relax the next day while the other did all their chores. I released my arrow first killing a good sized buck in the center and causing the rest to scatter. My hunters each chose their targets and let the arrows fly. Orion who was feeling especially lucky, shot at a very large buck almost outside his range. The buck crumpled just before he reached the tree line but something seemed off to me, the deer jerked as if he had been struck moments before Orion's arrow reached it.

We took our time collecting the deer and ended up reaching Orion's last. A few feet ahead of us a young girl approximately 17 years old with long black hair emerged from the treeline And bounded over to the deer. Orion narrowed his eyes and ran over to the deer intent on staking his claim.

Now that we were close to the deer I could clearly see what caused the buck's strange behavior, there were two arrows in the deer. Orion's arrow which was the same kind typically used in the hunt A.K.A. all white wood with goose feathers at the end, was in the deer's shoulder, the other arrow was brown with brown and black feathers at the end and was actually a fatal shot.

"Hey this is my kill." Orion said once we got close.

The girl whipped around and looked at Orion with her volcanic black eyes "What! No it isn't you may have hit him with your arrow but mine is the one that killed him, look." She said point at the deer.

"Well looks like I win." I said hoping to calm Orion, he tended to be a little too firm with strangers to make it clear they couldn't push him around. Besides the girl had already shown some skill with a bow and stood up to a man. I asked Orion to help help my hunters set up camp and clean the deer we caught "My name is Artemis by the way, would you like to join like to join me and my hunters for dinner in apology for how Orion acted."

The girl looked at me nervously which is to be expected as we just met "Are you okay if my friends joins us."

"Ofcourse." I said figuring we could handle a few people if needed, hopefully the others weren't boys. I didn't really want another male around as Orion was barely tolerable as it is, well except for them, but I couldn't take back the offer now.

"Oh I'm Zoe by the way." She said before going back to her deer.

"So is she going to join the hunt?" Phoebe asked.

"Not sure she only agreed to join us for dinner." I said.

Orion POV

I did my best to work out my anger at that girl as I set up the tents. But she was just so frustrating and showed me up in front of Artemis. Night finally came and the girl showed up with two guys one looked barely 20 the other was about 35 or so and a pretty scary looking wolf with pale blue eyes and black fur.

Artemis looked at the approaching group and ran over to them "Percy!" she shouted pulling the younger man into a hug. I growled and stalked over them, as Artemis released Percy several of the younger hunters ran over to him with shouts of 'Daddy'.

"Who are you?" I asked not bothering to hide my distrust.

"Orion!" Artemis scolded "Percy and Don are among the few men I allow to visit the hunt much like you and Apollo."

"How well do you know them?" I said.

"Quite well, Me and Apollo have known Percy since we were kids on Delos. (Where Artemis and Apollo were born) And Don for over 600 years and he's been a mentor to Apollo." She said. "And what right do you have to question them you've never even met them before." I grunted and walked away

Artemis POV

"So that's Orion." Percy said. "Apollo's right I don't like him."

"Percy don't be that way he's just a little ruff around the edges." I pleaded.

"Hey I'm just saying I've heard a lot of scary stuff while on the road about him and I have yet to see proof of otherwise." He said.

"Oh like you're one to talk Mr. wandering swordmaster friends with the burning battle monk." I said pointing at Don. "And what about...I'm sorry who's this adorable wolf." I said hugging it and petting it, sue me I like dogs.

"Um Arty that's Fang and he's probably the most powerful god of destruction I've ever met." Percy laughed.

"He he sorry." I said but Fang leaned into my hand.

That was the day I met Fang. I led them back to camp where Percy was surrounded by many of the older hunters. Percy was like a father to most of them and a pretty good one at that despite never having a sired a single child.

Don sat down by the fire and started conversation one of my hunters. Fang followed me to where I sat, not that I really minded, he didn't crowed me and he didn't care that I was petting him. My hunters were a little wary of Fang at first but after a while the got past it. The first of my hunters to so was a tiny daughter of Aphrodite named Cindy. Fang jumped slightly when she touched him but didn't pull away which gave Cindy a bit more confidence. After a few minutes all my hunters were taking turns petting a hugging Fang.

One may ask why I'd let a male be so close to me and my answer is most gods who are born in animal form tend to stay that way Lupa, Pegasus, and Arion to name a few they just don't have a human form. Besides Fang was such a mystery, he looked completely savage yet he was so calm with my hunters like he had never had so much affection in his life.

Perseus, Apollo, and Don were the only men I really allowed in the hunt and Don only got in because Percy vouched for him. Perseus, Apollo, and I were the actually the first members of the hunt before there was a hunt. Apollo eventually became a ladies man, I started the real hunt, and Percy decided to travel the world dropping in every once and awhile. Sometimes he even brought me a new hunter. The three of us stayed close over the years and the reason why is...we're siblings.
