Chapter 5
I honestly just starred for a couple seconds and thought damn he is just as big as Nico (apparently size means a lot but i honestly couldn't care less). "oh u-u-umm s-sorry" Connor was stuttering and stumbling over his words like he couldn't get them out, " it's fine but umm i just wanted to talk to you about last night" i said quickly. "ok just give me a second" he started. Suddenly a soothing voice that sounded like silk came out of nowhere, "You should sleep now" it said, it was defiantly a girl. For some stupid reason both of us obeyed the voice, if i wasn't so hypnotized by the voice i would have been disgusted. Connor lied back down and closed his eyes, i crawled over to him and and lied beside him; i could fell his body breathing and pulsing beside me. The soothing voice came back and said "it's ok you can sleep now", i closed my eyes and Connor wrapped an arm around me. My left hand was under my ear and my right hand was for some reason, very close to his rod. and finally the soothing, silky voice made us fall asleep.
I woke up to whispers and some idiot shaking my shoulder, although i didn't open my eyes, i felt like i was still in the trance. I grabbed Connor's hand (or so i thought is was his hand) and i heard some people gasp, and i think i may have heard Connor moan. I quickly fluttered my eyes open to see about half the Hermes cabin surrounding the bed but only the older kids, where were the younger ones i thought. I looked up at Connor's face and it was blushing crimson red, and thats when last nights incident came to mine. I nervously glanced down at my right hand and saw myself gripping his man-hood, i quickly slid it off; but when i was holding it a second ago it was hard as a rock. i was so embarrassed although i felt worse for Connor because i wasn't the one naked in front of the entire cabin. I also felt him hold in a groan when i had slid my hand off, "Ummm" was all Connor said, i quickly realized everybody was frozen in shock just starring at Connor. And i couldn't reach his boxers either, so i through myself on top of the pulsing Connor, "well are you going to stair or get lost" i snapped. I was lying parallel on top of Connor and my head reached his collar bone, i propped myself on my elbows on his chest. Everyone shuffled out the door except Travis, i couldn't tell if he was going to laugh or get mad... I got off Connor as soon as everybody else left (Travis was still there) and he let out a huge breath, i glanced awkwardly at Travis and walked to the door. "You just can't leave without explanation" Travis said calmly, i turned around and saw Connor in the background pulling on his boxers (but his man-hood was still sticking out). "Well i came to apologize- i started but was cut off by Travis "YOU APOLOGIZE BY SLEEPING WITH HIM" he yelled. "no not like that i kinda walked in on him... and ummm" i didn't really no what to say, Connor walked over still only in boxers and said "it was Drew she charm-specked us into falling asleep". "OH hell no" i yelled, "i need to teach that daughter of a biscuit to stood interfering" i through my arms over my head and trudged out the door, until someone grabbed my wrist. "i'm sorry for everything, Nat" Connor said, i just looked at him and kissed him on the check for apologizing. "don't get any ideas Connor that was only a thank you kiss, don't get too lead on" i said. And then i found myself trudging to the arena because the Aphrodite cabin had weaponry right now. My luck might change.
The thought of the entire Hermes cabin saw me and Connor seemed to fly out the window as i saw Drew looking at her nails instead of fighting. I stormed over to her, "YOU!" i pointed a finger in her face; "Oh i guess they walked in on you and Connor" she shrugged and pulled out a nail file. "um excuse me but WHY IN HADES did you do that" i was fuming with anger, "she looked up "just revenge for throwing my younger sister into the lake" when she said that she threw me a sword and she picked her own up off the ground. "WELL A DARE IS A DARE, DREW" i screamed, i swung my sword at her twice. She deflected them both, "well it doesn't make a difference to you, like, you do it all the time" she said simply and she spoke again "slut" she said. After she said that, she lunged at me and cut a huge gash from my elbow down to the palm of my hand, and it was DEEP. I staggered backwards and then went on a rampage towards her, i swung like a mad mad, deflected, dodged and summersaulted behind her and hit her in the back of the head with the butt of my sword. I knelt down next to her and whispered, "teaches you not to interfere". When i stood up i saw A LOT of campers had gathered including, Percy, Jason,Travis and Nico; then i heard Chiron galloping up to me from behind. I defiantly didn't want kitchen duty for a month, as i was about to start running for the woods i looked back at Drew. She sat up mad as Hades and whipped some kind of ninja star at me, it cut me right across the check.
i screamed at her and started sprinting for the woods, i heard campers from all directions running behind me and i heard Chiron yelling for me to come back. I looked at my arm, that would need medical care sooner or later i thought. The campers were starting to gain on me because i was pretty weak, so i thought of my mom and in 4 strides i was a wolf again. I stopped running and curled up in a circle under a big pine tree (not Thalia's pine tree, just a random one the forest). I watched as the campers sprinted by me and none even payed attention to me at all, i enjoyed being a wolf much more then a human. The only bad thing was i still had the gash on my arm and check/snout. When did this decision of dating come into play? why was it so hard to chose Leo over Connor, I always loved Leo he was my knight in shining armor? I never thought of Connor as anything more then a friend? I slowly drifted off into a sleepless slumber.
I woke up the next morning and felt somebody petting between my ears, now i understand why dogs like being petted there so much. I lifted my head off the ground and licked my lips and yawned. i was still a furry wolf... good. I looked over my back and saw Nico sitting cross legged beside me, when i licked my lips i realized that the cut i received yesterday on the check was well on recovery. I glanced down at the gash on my arm and yelped. It was hideous, it was defiantly infected and not healing, Nico gently pulled me up so i was sitting (but i put no pressure on the front right leg). Nico gently grabbed my front right leg and inspected it, he gingerly moved my fur around the gash to get a better look at it. "Why are you a wolf again, Nat?", i looked at him not sure of how to answer, maybe i could talk to him mentally like my mother did. "It was easier" i thought to Nico, he suddenly let go of my leg and starred at me, "i didn't know you could do that" he whispered/said; "neither did I" i thought to him. "Anyway lets get you to the camp clinic, but you have to change back to human" he commanded, "well good luck with that, either you heal me like i am, or i stay out here and die of an infection" i replied. He seemed to understand that i wasn't going to change back to human anytime soon so he nodded. i stood up on all fours and yelped as pain shot through my right front leg, suddenly i was lifted off the ground and realized Nico was carrying my like a dog to his cabin.
"HEY NICO, you got your wolf back" Connor asked with a grin, "um ya i guess" Nico replied, Nico was trying to get me to his cabin ASAP but Connor just had to come and say hi. "hurry up Nico i'm dying here" i said telepathically, he looked startled at first but then remembered me. I felt Connor rub my head between the ears, i shied away farther into Nico's arms, "i thought wolves were brave animals" Connor commented. I quickly growled and half tried to lunge at him, WOLVES are totally brave, majestic, smart and loyal animals. "WOAH ok sorry, there Bell" Connor put his hand up in defense. "Ok anyway go to go... ummm, Bell got into a fight" Nico said, Connor waved goodbye as Nico didn't wait for a response as he trudged by Connor and flung open his cabin door.
Chapter 6
Nico set me down on his couch and i rest my head on a pillow, "it's fine Nat i got some Hydrogen-peroxide and gauze, but i'm not sure if a wolf can drink nectar and i'm not taking any chances" he said. He came and sat beside me on the coach, i sat up and held out my front right leg, he took it with his left hand and started to cleanse it then he wrapped it in gauze. "thanks Nico" i said quietly inside his mind (from now on just assume when she is a wolf Natalie is speaking telepathically to one person at a time). I lied back down and rest my head on Nico's lap he ran his fingers through my furry head and occasionally touched the tip of my ear. "so when are you going to turn back human" he asked me, "um not sure" to be honest i was scared for two reasons:
what would Chiron say to me
If turning back into a human hurt that much the first time i wonder how much it will hurt the second time considering i was a wolf much longer this time.
"probably for diner", he sighed and continued to pet me, then there was a knock on the door and before Nico could even get my head off his lap the door flung open to reveal Baily and her boyfriend Fred. Nico was about to shot up and walk over to them but i quickly put a lot of force onto his legs so he wouldn't get up. "Hey" he greeted them with a hand wave and a grin, but i could tell the grin was fake he hated seeing Baily with Frederick. Baily let go of Fred's hand and came barreling towards Nico. "NICO where is she, i came to your cabin last night to ask if you had seen her and you weren't even here, you gave me a HEART ATTACK!" Baily complained, "is that a wolf" Fred asked stupidly, "ya, so" Nico replied harshly. "where is she, where is Natalie" Baily cried, she turned around on her heels and hugged Fred, i felt Nico tense up a little. "i-i um didn't see her" Nico explained. Baily gripped Fred harder and Fred pulled her in closer, "Freddy she will be fine right? We will find her right" Baily whispered. "ya for sure" Fred said then Fred quickly peaked her on the lips and wiped a couple tears off her face with his thumb. Nico cleared his throat, "sorry to wreak your moment but um-um, i think i have to... BRUSH BELL, right, brush Bell" he announced. Fred gave him a weird look and grabbed Baily's hand and pulled her over to the door, "if you see her you WILL tell me right"? She asked, "sure" Nico replied coldly. And they left the cabin.
Nico unexpectedly stood up and paced, grabbing his black hair he growled deep in his throat; i probably wouldn't have heard it if a wasn't a wolf. "calm down death breath" i said, he shot me a glance but i quickly shot one back. Since i was a wolf it looked much scarier then a human's glare, he finally stopped pacing and leaned against the washroom door. "i'm going to the washroom" he announced and walked inside, " don't worry this time i won't walk in" i chuckled, he cracked a smile and closed the door.
I decided i needed some air so i pushed the door open with my snout and wandered outside, the air's scent was much more strong and smelt like flowers and a spring morning even though it was almost dinner. I trotted down the steps and took a tour around camp, i saw Travis and Katie in the strawberry fields; i could tell Katie was say "no" to another one of his stupid ideas. I shook my long fur and continued my stroll, i saw Percy sword fighting Jason so i stopped to watch the entire match. After i made my way to the lake and sat in the sand, i think i should head back to Nico's cabin to change forms again, before dinner (about 25mins till dinner).
I felt somebody grab the rope collar Nico put around my neck today, i looked back and saw Connor smiling back at my wolf face. I stood up defensively and growled, "hey it's ok i just didn't think it was a good idea for a hurt wolf to be wandering about camp" Connor said; "i guess i will bring you back". I started to follow him but realized he couldn't be there when i changed back to human form, so i suddenly lunged at him and bit him in the arm, "OUCH" he shouted. He let go of my collar as he ran towards the clinic, he probably thought i had rabbis or something, i trotted/limped to Nico's cabin and nosed the door open. "where were you" Nico asked, "just looking around, but hey i'm back" i said, "you know what, i don't care just change form and lets go to dinner, ok?" he offered but i could tell he was worried before and didn't want to deal with me anymore. "ok" i said nervously, i hope it doesn't hurt. BOY was i wrong!
When i started to think of my human form, pain shot through my body, i collapsed to the ground but continued to change form. The pain was excruciating, and my head was pumping, i felt Nico at my side watching over me. It felt like i was shriveling up and my bones were breaking and forming to become human like, i felt my tail disappear. and my fur slowly disappear too. My snout was the worst part it felt like someone was using a hammer to slowly and painfully push your face inward, tears were flowing out of my eyes. I finally felt human again but i felt like nails were piercing my skin everywhere, i curled up into a ball on my side and cried, Nico picked me up and carried my to his bunk. When he went to put me down i grabbed the collar of his shirt and cried into his chest. he just sat there holding me and reassuring me everything was fine, he twirled a lock of my brown hair in his fingers.
The conch horn blew in the distance, and i finally made eye contact with Nico, he sighed, "i can bring you back some extra food ok? just sleep here for a bit" he whispered into my hair. i took a deep gulp of air and replied "ok" i didn't know what else to say and i defiantly wasn't in the talking mood. He nodded "see you later" and he was engulfed by the shadows, i nestled my face into his pillow and fell asleep within seconds.
