Cole

We stayed at the practice for a while, while everyone congratulated the newly engaged couple. After that we went to eat dinner. When we got to the pavilion everyone was talking about the wedding already they were all excited for it am talking about how Percy was marrying a maiden goddesses. I rolled my eyes and went to the Hunters table. All the girls were already there but I didn't see Percy or Artemis probably because they didn't want to here all the talk about them. I looked over and saw Nico and Andrew sitting at the Hades table. I waved to them and they waved back.
After we ate dinner we all went to our cabins because there wasn't going to be anything happening that night because of the news. I went with the girls and we played some games and then watched a movie. Finally around 12 I went back to the Poseidon cabin to go to bed. When I got there Percy still hadn't arrived. I wondered where he had gone. Both Artemis and Percy still hadn't come back when I left. I assumed they were staying on Olympus and fell asleep.
The next day was normal everyone was still talking about Artemis and Percy but other than that is was normal. That night near sunset the Hunters, Nico, Andrew, and I were all just hanging out at the beach. I noticed that both Andrew and my sister were really friendly with each other and wondered again what was between them. I was sitting on the beach when I heard Hannah call out my name. I looked over my shoulder and saw her sitting in our tree with Zoe. I raised my eyebrow at her questioning her, but she just shook her head and mouth, "Come here." I got up and made my way to where they were. The branch was a really big one about 15 feet up. At the base of the tree was a small rock and as I got closer I took a few steps to get a little speed and pushed off the rock. I landed on my feet on our branch near the trunk. "Show off." I heard Zoe mutter. I laughed and smirked at her as I made my way to where they were. I sat down next to Hannah and grabbed her hand kissing it. She smiled at me and kissed me on the cheek. We sat there quietly as we watch the sun set. The rest of our group had built a fire on the beach and were making hot dogs and s'mores over the fire. I noticed the girls seemed okay with both Nico and Andrew they were talking with them and not at them or like they were superior or they were better than males. "You know it's because of you and Percy that they aren't trying to kill them." Zoe said I noticed she was looking at he same scene as me. "I don't think I had much to do with it than Percy. It was mostly him." I said embarrassed. "No you had a small part as well when you rescued Hannah from that bear. And when you defended us from Lycaon." She said shaking her head. "That was Andrew and Nico who helped us and got us out of that one." I said. "Well you did help them. Let's go join them." Zoe said. I nodded and dropped down landed in a crouch and rolling to absorb the landing. I then turned around and held my arms up like I always did. Hannah dropped down her hair straight up as the wind flowed around her. I caught her around her waist and held her there. She leaned down and kissed my nose as I looked up and smiled. I set her down and immediately she climb on my back laughing and we started walking to the bonfire.

"Ahem. Cole aren't you going to help your sister?" Zoe said smirking.
I laughed and then got a mischievous grin on my face. "Yeah hang on. Hey Andrew can you come here for a minute?" I shouted to Andrew who had his back to us. He looked over his shoulder and saw us and then got up saying, "Sure be right there."
He got up and made his way to us. "What's up?" he asked when he got to us. "Well my sister is stuck in a tree and I got my hands full, think you can help her down?" I asked gesturing to Hannah whose legs I was holding to keep her on my back, then to Zoe who was glaring at me and had a red face. "Yeah think I can do that." He said turning slightly red and then went underneath Zoe to catch her. She jumped down and Andrew caught her bridal style. I grinned at Hannah confirming my suspicions as Andrew just stood there with Zoe in his arms. Eventually I cleared my throat getting their attention and they broke eye contact and blushed as Andrew quickly set her down. "Thanks." Zoe muttered still slightly red faced. she then glared at me and yelled, "Coleson Nightshade! You are dead!" I quickly ran to the bonfire and set Hannah down before taking off as the Hunters laughed and Zoe chased me shooting me with blunted arrows that would bruise real bad but would not kill me. Finally I turned into a wolf and ran into the forest and lost her. Eventually I went back to the beach where the girls, Nico, and Andrew were. When I got there I collapsed exhausted and then changed back into a human. I laid there panting as the Hunters exchanged money obviously they were betting to see how long I would survive against my sister. Zoe came out of the trees still angry but she didn't say anything as she sat by the fire with everyone else. After a few minutes she was back to normal laughing and joking with everyone again. I laid there just looking up at the sky. "Have a nice run?" a voice spoke beside me. I looked over to see Andrew crouched beside me. I grinned and nodded, "Best run in a long time. By the way do you like my sister? I know you two spent time when she was in Ouranus' domain. And I saw you two tonight hanging out."
His face got slightly red and he muttered to himself.
He thought it was too quiet for anyone to hear but with my heightened senses I could hear him. "Great now I got to deal with an angry werewolf brother."
I laughed and said, "Why would I be angry? As long as you treat her right you don't have to worry about me and I know the same thing goes with the Hunt."
He looked up startled, "How did.. Oh right heightened senses forgot about that. Really your okay with it?"
"Well you beat up Orion. I think in her book that makes you the greatest male besides Percy and I." I said laughing.
"I didn't just beat him up. He is in a coma right now up there. He won't be bothering anyone for a long time." He said smirking.
"What did you do?" I asked surprised.
"I slowed his body down to a very slow rate but he knows exactly what is going on and he can feel all the pain that I gave him." He said grinning.
"That explains why she likes you. Too bad you didn't do that to Hercules. That guy did her wrong." I said shaking my head.
"I know she told me about it and I will get him in time." He said mysteriously with a evil grin. I shuddered slightly and them he got up wiping his hands and reaching down to pull me up. We made our way to the fore and joined everyone else. I sat next to Hannah and she held out to me a s'more she had made. I took a bite from it and made a sigh of contentment. "Thanks Banana." I said to her after I swallowed the bite. She laughed and smiled, "You're welcome." she said as she took another bite. I leaned over and tried to take another bite but she pulled it away before I could bite down. "Hey not nice." I said whining. She laughed and held it out again to me. As I was taking a bite she smashed it into my face. Everyone laughed at me as I sat there with chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker on my face and an open mouth. Zoe came over and stuffed a marshmallow in my mouth and that got everyone rolling around laughing again. Hannah smiled and then gave me a kiss. "Sorry baby I couldn't resist."
She then had a napkin that she got wet and helped me get it all off. As she giggled I grabbed another marshmallow and put it in Hannah's mouth. Then I kissed her softly on the lips. "I love you." I whispered.
"I know," she whispered back smiling.
We all stayed out for another hour and then headed back. I walked up front with Hannah and I noticed that Andrew and my sister walked way behind all of us and were talking. I tried to listen but they were speaking too low for me to hear and I only heard a couple words.
"...brother knows... Threatened me..." I caught Andrew saying.
"...Protective of me...little brother..." Zoe said.
"... about us?" Andrew said. Here I looked back quickly but Zoe caught my gaze and shook her head as a way of saying not to tell anyone. I glanced at Hannah beside me who was looking curiously at me then looked back at Zoe questioningly.
She slowly nodded and mouthed, "When you two are alone."

I nodded back, and grabbed Hannah's hand and swung it as we skipped ahead of everyone. The girls all laughed at us and Phoebe jokingly said, "Don't make me puke lovebirds."
"You're just jealous Phoebe." Hannah said laughing along with everyone as Phoebe
flushed in embarrassment and anger.

"What is up with your rings you two? You aren't married." Zoe asked coming up to the front with Andrew beside her.
"This is Helios' spear." I said willing the spear to appear in my hand. The ring disappeared and a spear that shone like the sun and lit up the whole area appeared in my hand.
"You got Helios' spear figures he would give i to you, you were his favorite nephew." Zoe stated shaking her head. "And I'm guessing Hannah's ring is Selene's bow?" She asked and Hannah nodded her head also willing the bow to appear which gave off a soft light. We then let our weapons go and they both vanished and the rings appeared on our hands once again. We continued on and Andrew, Nico, and I said goodnight to the hunters and left them at their cabin. Well, I said goodnight to them all, Andrew only said goodnight to Zoe and Nico only to Thalia. Us guys then went to our separate cabins but right when we about to part ways a voice spoke from behind us.

"Nico, Andrew! I finally found his whereabouts. Oh hello Cole."
We all turned around and saw Hades in an Iris message.
"Found who?" I asked curious.
"Lycaon. We have been trying to track him down before he can gather an army again of werewolves and attack anyone again." Nico stated.
"Why didn't you tell me? I could have helped you out tracking him." I asked wanting to get some revenge on him.
"We were going to ask you for help as soon as we found him so we could finish him. I know you have a lot to pay him back for." Andrew stated.
"Where is he father?" Nico asked.
"He is in Colorado right now." Hades replied.
"Okay guys let's go. I will let Percy know where we are. I am sure he will want to help as well." I told the others. I sent a mental message to chaos and asked him to tell Percy where and what was going on. He agreed and told me that he would meet us there.
Nico then grabbed us and pulled us into the shadows and we shadow traveled to
Colorado.
