Chapter 9:
Luna's POV
I barely closed my eyes for a sec when I saw sunlight coming through my bedroom window.
Slowly, I sat up and looked at the 7 other people in the room.
Hazel was curled up in a ball under her blankets. Frank had his blanket half on half off his body. Jason and Piper were sleeping next to each other with a blanket laid across both of them.
Leo was mumbling something in his sleep something about a dragon made of fire, and Annabeth was snuggled up to Percy's chest while Percy drooled onto his pillow.
I noticed how much Percy and Annabeth loved each other and I've only known them for a little while. Wolves rarely show affection, yet I show plenty of it to my mother and fellow pack mates. I guess that's another quality that makes me human.
I sighed and quietly maneuvered around them being careful not to wake them up.
The sun wasn't even over the peak of the mountains yet.
That means it's very early.
Once I made it to the hallway I walked down the steps and to the front door
.
I growled to myself remembering that the half-bloods locked the door last night.
Feeling a slight breeze blow by me I looked to see one of the windows had been knocked down.
That must have been where Shadow busted in to help me.
Carefully I stepped around the glass and wood shards and hopped out the window.
I knew I had to talk to mother to try to convince her to let me stay and not send me off with those half-bloods.
The morning dew sparkled on the tips of the grass blades as I made my way into the woods.
It was awfully quiet this morning. There were few birds singing and only the occasional hoot of an owl.
I picked up my pace once I reached the clearing that lead to mothers cave.
I approached the mouth of the cave quietly and made my way in.
Mother usually sleeps in the far back, so that was where I was headed.
The other pack members are most likely already out and hunting for breakfast.
The cave floor was cold and dry as I made my way to the back.
I heard the sound of paws scrapping against the rock.
"Mother is that you?" I barked into the tunnel.
I saw as mother emerged from the shadows.
Her white fur glowing and her icy blue eyes pouring into mine.
"What is it Luna?" She asked slightly annoyed.
"I just wanted to let you know that there are some half-bloods here." I growled.
Mother let out a sigh.
"I know they are here Luna." She barked.
"You do? And you didn't bother to tell me!" I howled.
"Now that's enough of that young one," she snapped at me.
Mother paced around on the cave floor.
"You know I don't want to leave," I whispered under my breath. "I know you don't, Luna," mother growled. "But you know you can't stay with me forever. Young pups must leave the pack."
"You said yourself mother, it is only the males that have to leave," I barked back at her.
"Yes I did, yet sometimes the females must leave the pack to."
I thought 'why did I have to go I just want to stay with mother', and for the first time in my life I let myself become vulnerable.
I laid down on the cold ground and cried.
My sobs echoed throughout the cave, bouncing off the walls.
Mother kneeled down next to me and nudged me with her snout.
"Now that's no way a wolf should act." She said.
"I don't want to leave." I whimpered.
"I know Luna, you are a brave strong wolf and there is another side that you need to connect with that those half-bloods can help you with.
You know I could never keep you forever. It's just your time to leave the pack. You can always come back and visit but right now you must go off on your own."
And with that my mother licked my cheek and muttered "This is not goodbye Luna, just goodbye for now." Then she padded out of the cave leaving me all alone.
A/N: Ok so I have gotten some requests to write a sequel to one of my one-shot stories called "Spider Situation" I will probably end up writing a sequel, but I want to hear from my viewers. Who would you like to star in the story with Annabeth? Please check out "Spider Situation" and tell me what you think.
