Hi Guys, decided to post the chapter today since yesterday was very late and i was tired, and I didn't want this chapter to be ignored.

now I am starting a new semester in school so my posting rate might change, it takes me 1 and 30 min to write a good chapter, and thats time I might now have, I have found ways around school but with the change those might just dry up.

I'll tell you the situtation tomorrow on the next chapter.

Percy POV

Anemos squealed as I walked on water, it was hard to do but the lake was calm today so I could walk on water. The day was chilly though, a storm was moving in leaving a foot of snow in its path, and it would hit Camp within the hour so I was letting Anemos enjoy the outdoors before we had to head in. I had wrapped him in the blanket provided, though for some reason it was half stained gold and I also wrapped him in one of my shirts to be safe.

I saw the tip of the storm in the distance, and stated, "looks like it's early, well little buddy, lets get in and get you feed". Anemos clapped his hands and I hopped off the lake water.

Slowly I walked back to the cabins while giving Anemos some funny faces. Suddenly I was hit over the head, and Anemos disappeared from my arms. I looked up at the arrogant gang. Their leader, a boy named Blake sneered as he held Anemos by his feet, Anemos cried in pain. I yelled in venom "Put him Down" I tried to launch at Blake but his 4 buddies grabbed my shoulder and held me back, one went through my pockets and took riptide out, I wish I could kill them but they restrained my arms so I couldn't get to their throats.

Blake sneered at me "Man, what an annoying brat, new kid you supposedly helping". Before I could respond he cut me off "Whatever I don't care, you made a fool of me when you released the mutt"

I roared at me "You wouldn't listen to reason, you're too full of yourself to learn".

He smirked back "Reason, your talk isn't reason, I am apart of the blessed generation, The minute I got here I was claimed, that's proof enough" he's mad, nuts, insane, hasn't he listen to anything but himself talk, there has to be away to get through his thick skull so he'll put Anemos down, the poor guys cries got louder.

I reasoned with Blake "Put Anemos down, you're hurting him".

Blake laughed at me "I'm teaching him to deal with pain, and this isn't hurting him, I see people get held like this and they ain't crying"

This boy was going to kill Anemos at this rate "He is a baby, there is a f****** difference between teenagers and babies, are you brain dead" I struggled against his friends hold, I tried kicking their feet but there one brain cell they shared between them was devoted to watching my every movement, I tried to get a foot hold and push two of them over but the other two just pulled the other.

(Start Jaws music, just do it)

Blake started to wiggle and poke Anemos, that's when Anemos shirt fell revealing his wings. Blake muttered, "cool" and forced one to extend causing Anemos to cry even more and louder as well.

I cursed "Gods Dammnit, stop that please, why are you doing this".

Blake retorted "cause I can"

That's when the roar was heard, it was like a sonic wave, it made everything vibrate, to the north I heard screams then trees began to be topple and snap, the nymphs were screaming in death now. The source of the madness appeared, It stood on four legs, it had a long whip like tail, its back legs were much bigger then its front, its body was bulky like a dog given performance enhancing drugs, its head was similar to a canines but it had no ears or eyes just a nose a mouth, it also had a very short muzzle, its teeth were yellow and look like daggers, I could almost see the serrations in the teeth as they poked out of its mouth both ways. It swung its head as a roar echoed from its mouth. The skin on its body was brown and pink mix that had some liquid on it, the skin was stretched so thin you could see some the organs. It was like that of my nightmares, it was worse then any of the monsters I had seen, it had that just came out of a nightmare of some demented freak.

(WARNING VERY VIOLENT SCENE)

Blake dropped Anemos and his buddies let go of me, I dived and caught Anemos then curled around him to keep him safe as without riptide or any armor I couldn't fight it. I kept my head up to watch what the monster did. It launched towards us, and Blake held up his sword but everything was wrong even how he held it and the beast wacked it away like a fly then it punched its claws through Blake and slowly with its other claws and while Blake was still alive ripped him in half, the blood rained down on me, I was shocked into a stupor.

I watched the other four run but they were no chance, the beast ran after them, it leaped and pinned the one who had taken Riptide, the kid screamed for mercy but he was silenced as the beast took off his head with its teeth. It leaped 20 feet straight up pushed against a tree and tackled two down dived rolled with them in it's claws and throw them like baseballs, the last one almost made it to Chiron, who galloped into the scene with his bow drawn but at only 20 feet away from Chiron, the beast caught the boy and ripped him apart just like Blake covering Chiron in blood.

The beast flipped Chiron onto his back, then it's head slowly turned to my direction. I saw it began to run at me like a freight train, it had to be managing 90 miles per hour from complete stop, so running was completely useless, all I could do was cover Anemos and hope it couldn't sense him blow my soon to be dead body. It stopped right in front of me, I could hear it sniff me, I prayed 'just kill me don't kill Anemos". I felt it pick me and I cursed in my mind, I held Anemos tight as it brought me to its face.

A voice filled my head "watch yourself" it was raspy and it was like the wind, it stated again "Raise him well, you and the moon must, if you fail, you will be beyond help even fates help".

I shivered in fear "What are you?" I looked up and down the beast but I couldn't see any indication of intelligence.

It rasped, "The beast is not me, I am the darkness that fester beyond the doors"

I asked again "what doors"

"The doors inside the boys mind" I felt it fade from my head and the beast set me down, it then bolted away like a bullet fired straight from a gun. It claws had scrapped my arm leaving a huge gash. I felt myself fade so I turned so I wouldn't collapse on Anemos.

_WASN"T THAT AWESOME_

Still Percy POV

I felt light seep between my eyes lids, I slowly opened them to see the ceiling of the infirmary, the memories of the beast flooded my mind, I hoped it was a dream but the mark on my arm said otherwise.

I sat up and looked around, my eyes landed on Artemis, who sat on the chair next to my bed, she greeted "morning or should say afternoon Perseus". Anemos was in her arms and he clapped his hands when he saw I was awake, he clapped his hands and squealed.

I asked, "So do I need to ask if what I saw was a dream".

Artemis sighed "It wasn't but with what happened the theory on what that thing is to Anemos has been proven" when she saw my confused look, she explained "Aspida, the beast you saw, is his protector, he appears when Anemos cries in pain caused by someone, it understood who was causing the pain and only killed them, it didn't kill you or Chiron".

I started to tell her "Something spoke in m.." she interrupted me "Chiron had heard it as well and debriefed me on it".

An awkward silence feel, it said both Artemis and I had to raise Anemos, but she would never agree, suddenly she asked really fast "Will you be Anemos Father figure"

I blinked at her remember the voice, looking at Anemos, and then looking at her, I stated "Sure, sounds like fun".

When she started to twitch, I knew I had done something very wrong, she hissed "You agreed to being a father after 2 seconds and just said "Sure sounds like fun" this isn't raising a puppy".

I chuckled 'Well I read something online that said for the first 2 years of raising a puppy and a baby, it's very similar" The glare I got in response made me want to curl up in a ball and die, she hissed "Perseus Jackson, are brain dead".

Before I could think, I being me responded "close" then I got some maturity and stated "Here I responded so fast cause I cared for Anemos for close to a whole day and had fun even when he made a huge mess in his diaper, and honestly I need to do something with my life, after Annabeth divorced me, I have been just huuu, not myself on the inside, and while I was carrying for Anemos, he just added this change that I had to adjust to it, it seems I like walking up the up hill battle, and I felt like myself in sense, different but the same"

I took in a breathe before I continued "The voice said would fail somehow if we didn't work together to raise him, I really don't want to find out what happens that even the fates can't change if we fail"

She nodded to me, and handed Anemos over so I could hold him as she began to pace "raising him just got a lot more hectic, The mist is breaking down in places, there are human officials, don't know who, that are against us, and now this" I could see the worry in her eyes, this must be causing a storm inside her head, especially with her son being at the center of this mess.

I tried to comfort her by saying 'At least your not alone with this any more, soon I will be so worried I'll be giving myself a headache".

She rolled her eyes at this then flopped back into her chair, I asked her "is it only because of that voice that you asked for me to be the father figure".

She admitted, "No, Lord Zeus forced me to find a father figure as well".

I fake pouted 'ahh so it isn't because I good with kids".

She responded "I wouldn't have chosen you if you were bad with them"

I cheered as I flung my arms into the air "yay a compliment" Anemos copied me and throw his hands into the air as well while trying to balance on my lap, Artemis looked over at us, they sighed "what did I get myself into"

I watched as Thalia and the rest of the hunter's walked through the door, I just realized I would be around them a lot more now, and they might just try and kill me. Thalia walked up to me "We saw how good you were with Anemos, so we are fine with being the father figure".

I realized they might not kill me, but I began to process their words, they all muttered "ohh god he's thinking" then I stated, "Wait saw? Weren't you guys looking for Anemos parent's killer?"

Thalia let out an opps, as all the hunters yelled "THALIA HE WASN"T SUPPOSE TO KNOW".

I yelled "you all spied on me we'll I watched Anemos, and" I pointed at Artemis "That's how you knew I was good with kids, what else did you guys spy on".

One hunter, I think her names Katie stated "They watched you while me and a couple others tested your patience, and 2 days to see how you do around other people". The hunters glared at Katie, who now tried to make herself seem small.

Artemis sighed, "We were just making sure you would be a good influence to Anemos". Ok I now can understand their logic to being stalkers, got to protect the little one, but geez that is still creepy.

I decided it was high time that I got out of bed, so picking up Anemos I stood up out of bed just to notice that I was only in boxers, I squeaked "where are my cloths" all the hunters including Artemis looked away all stating along the lines of "No"

Artemis screeched "Thalia, Phoebe, Katie, SOMEONE, get him some cloths".

Phoebe rushed over to the line closet and found some scrubs and throw them in my general direction, I set Anemos down on the bed so I could catch them and put them on.

Artemis sighed "There are long years ahead, if these stunts continue".
