I do not own anything you recognize from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight or Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series.

A/N Adi has been through a lot. Like other demigods, she is scarred and scared. She suffers from constant nightmares. She struggles eating too after her time in Tartarus which most of her time down there was alone.


THE WISE WOLF CHAPTER 2:

Adira's POV:

Dinner with Sam and Emily went well. Sam asked a few questions , and I gave him basic answers that had no detail. I head off to my room to try to sleep.

Burning. Coughing. My throats on fire. Scorching hot liquid runs down my throat. I can barely breathe. My whole body is burning and freezing. My lungs are squeezed together. Suddenly the burning stops. The sky is grey. The clouds are red. Suddenly I feel pain in my ribs. Harsh pain that makes me double over panting on the ground.

My head snaps up. It's always the same dream from when I was in Tartarus. I barely made it past the River Phlegethon tonight. I look over at the clock and see it's 2:56 am. I decide sleeping is not going to be possible for the rest of the night, so I grab my sketchbook and put it in my backpack. I take my backpack and sneak out my window. I wander through the forest until I come across a meadow.

In the meadow I take my sketchbook out from my backpack and work on a sketch of myself in wolf form.

"You should stay out of the woods especially during the middle of the night." I hear a voice from behind me say. I always asume the worse. Whoever of whatever said that snuck up on me, so instinctively I kick my feet around to see what snuck up on me. I clutch my necklace in my hand. When I kick my feet around I knock whatever was speaking onto the floor. I hop up and place a foot on what I now see is a person, threatening him not to move. He has the same tattoo as Sam, so I'm assuming he's pack, but I'm not taking chances.

"Who are you?" I ask him.

"Jacob Black" he told me.

Black. Black as in Chief Black. Ok so one of the wolves. I remove my foot.

"I'm sorry for attacking you, you just surprised me." I apologize to him even though I know all I did was bruise his ego if anything. I would beat him in a fight but he doesn't know that, but just because he's a wolf doesn't mean he can't be caught off guard and knocked over by a normal person. He looks up at me. His chocolate brown eyes bore into my boring grey ones. He freezes and his mouth hangs open. I can't help to notice his six pack and muscles. His hair is cut nicely. He, still standing in shock, stares at me. I understand I'm the only Quileute with grey eyes but staring is rude. I make up some excuse of the sun will be rising soon and run from there with my backpack. When I make it a safe distance from him I move into a shadow and travel to my room. I kick my shoes off and sit on the bed. I start working on a new sketch, this time of Sam's wolf which is midnight black.

I hear my door open but continue to work on the drawing, focusing on the eyes. When I realize whoever walked in has not spoken yet, I look up and see Sam.

"What were you sketching?" he asks.

"A black wolf. I just have a few details on the eyes to finish. They are more human than a normal wolf's eyes, but I like that. It is less threatening that way, and you can see the kindness in the eyes." I respond to him. Its fun to mess with him a little since I know their secret, but its nothing that would reveal myself yet.

He tells me that Emily made breakfast to which I respond not hungry as I rarely am anymore. I want to finish the drawing, so I tell him I will be out in a bit. He leaves my room and I go back to the drawing.


Third Person POV:

The pack is eating at Sam's house like they do most days. Jacob is sitting with his elbows on the table and his head in his hands. He has not touched any of the food as he can't focus. Thoughts of the girl he met last night fill his head.

"Are you still moping about not being able to see Leech Lover. You're going to have to get over it, and this," Paul says motioning to Jacob, "is a stupid reaction to having to avoid her."

The rest of the pack agrees with Paul. They know Jake had a crush on Bella who was just using him to get over Cullen. Jake's thought are always on Bella, and they are starting to get annoyed. Jake does not respond to Paul's comment. Instead he groans and drops his head to the table.

"Woah!" Jared gasps, "I'm pretty sure Bella or lack of her isn't causing this."

"And you think this because?" Paul asks doubting Jared as Paul is the most annoyed out of all of them of Jake's constant thoughts on Bella, and his thoughts are ALWAYS on Bella.

"Simple. You're in one piece and Jake is still human." Jared responds.

"So?" Embry questions, just as curious as Paul on Jared's thoughts.

Jared turns towards Embry, "Remember what happened last time Paul called her Leech Lover in front of Jake?"

"Oh yeah, he almost tore Paul apart." Embry responds.

"Ok so not Leech Lover." Paul says. "If its not Leech Lover, then what is your problem Black?"

Just as Paul finishes asking this, Sam comes into the kitchen: "What's his problem today?" Sam asks the pack, overhearing Paul's question.

Jake groans again. He sits up and runs his hand through his hair then places his elbows back on the table and his head in his hands. He whispers, "I don't even know her name."

The pack stares at him, confused by his cryptic comment. Sam carefully asks, "Who is she?" not wanting to further upset or anger him as Jake already seems frustrated enough and looks like hell.

"A girl. Saw her in the woods. I don't have a clue who she is, but she is all I can think about." Jake responds in a frustrated tone.

The pack stares at him wide eyed. "So you're not mad we called Bella Leech Lover?" Embry asks. Sam glares at him asking with his eyes Do you want him to kill you?

"I don't know, not really. When I think about it I can see how she's been using me to get over Cullen, so you guys were right about something. Not that I can think about much. Every time I try to my mind always ends up thinking about the girl I saw in the woods last night." Jacob responds as he runs his hand through his hair.

Jared looks towards Sam, "Do you think?" Jared asks Sam.

"Its possible." Sam responds. "Jacob can you explain exactly what happened in the woods with the girl last night?"

Jacob explains, "I was in wolf form patrolling. Then, I smell this scent: pine, cinnamon, and vanilla, with just a hint of pomegranate. I don't even know what it was, but it smelled so good and was pulling me towards it, so I followed it to this meadow. From afar I could see a girl, so I phased back. I walked up behind the girl and told her, 'You should stay out of the woods especially during the middle of the night.' She turns around and I guess I surprised her because next thing I know I'm on the floor and her foot is resting on my chest. She asked who I was so I told her my name. I think she recognized it probably because my dad is chief or something, but she removes her foot and apologizes for attacking me. Then I stood up and looked at her."

"Her eyes, they were light storm grey with silver swirls and gold flecks. They were full of emotion and a lot of pain. I wanted to tell her to get out of the woods again since they weren't safe, but I also just wanted to hold her close to me and protect her since there was so much sadness and pain in her eyes like she's been through a lot. I wanted, no still want, to stop anything from ever hurting her and kill anything that has, and I don't even know her name, but I didn't do anything. Instead I just stood there with my mouth hanging open staring at her in shock at all the emotions going through my head while I tried to understand the pull towards her. Next thing I know she says something about the sun coming up soon and runs off. Now I can't get her out of my head. All my thoughts are focused on her and her beautiful eyes and I just want to figure out who she is."

"So you are freaking out about some loser girl who was wandering the woods in the middle of the night?" Paul asks.

In a split second Jake has Paul pinned to the wall by his throat.

"She is not a loser!" Jake growls out.

"Let go of him Jacob!" Sam orders.

Jake grumbles under his breath and goes to sit back down, placing his head back into his hands. Jared and Sam share a look with each other.

"He definitely imprinted." Jared tells Sam.

"What's imprinting?" Jacob asks them.

"Its a werewolf thing. When we look into our soul mate's eyes, the world shifts. Its not love at first sight...more like gravity no longer holds you down, she does. You want to be anything for her, a brother, friend, or lover, but no matter what you want to protect her." Sam explains.

"Its really great honestly. It makes you feel complete and being with her makes you happy. It makes being a werewolf worth it." Jared comments.

"Why am I just learning about this?" Jake asks accusingly.

"We were planning to this Friday. You just shifter 5 days ago, and we did not want you to go seek out Bella to find out if she was your imprint as you could hurt her imprint or not cause you lacked control. Imprinting is rare, and we did not think waiting to tell you would be a problem."

Jacob nods at this. He does not necessarily agree with them with holding information from him, but he understands their reasons.

"Are you going to deny the imprint?" Embry asks him. He would not be surprised if his friend decided to, but for everyone's sake he hopes he accepts it.

Jacob shakes his head. "No way. Bella has being using me anyway which I can now see, and the girl is too beautiful and strong with the prettiest of eyes for me to deny it. Also, her eyes held a lot of sorrow and pain, so she needs a protector and a friend or possibly something more." Jacob says with a lovesick look on his face as he talks about her.

Everybody smiles at him. Having him deny the imprint would just be one more problem for the pack to deal with. Also, he would still be pinning after Bella which is unreasonably annoying.

"Great" Paul grumbles. "Now I have to deal with another imprinted idiot in my head."

Jared looks at Jake who is back to having his head on the table frustrated.

"Was I this bad?" Jared asks Sam, knowing he was a little obsessive after imprinting on Kim.

"Almost, but you at least learned your imprints name." Sam replies with a smirk towards Jacob as he finds it funny he failed talking to her so badly. "Also, his alpha genes make the pull and pain about ten times or so worse compared to anyone else in the pack which explains why its only been five hours and Jake looks half dead. It will be better when he gets to know her, but the initial pull is bad."

"Going on a run. I need to clear my head." Jake tells Sam to which Sam responds, "It won't help, but you can try."

About ten minutes after Jake left to run, Adi walks out into the kitchen. Sam offers her breakfast. She grabs a piece of toast and rips it in half, putting one half back onto the plate. The boys comment on how little Adi is eating, but Adi shrugs it off.

While Adi is nibbling on her toast and the boys are messing around, Jake comes back inside and freezes in the doorway, staring at her. Embry sees his best friend not moving and grabs him and pulls him back outside.

"What's your problem man?" Embry asks Jake.

"Who is she?" Jake asks ignoring Embry's question.

"Sam's little sister."

"What's her name?"

"Adira, but we call her Adi" Embry responds.

"Adira" Jake whispers to himself.

Embry gives him a strange look. "Go inside and don't act stupid."

Jake nods and walks inside. He sits down and stares at Adi.

"How'd the run go Jake?" Sam asks.

"Didn't help" Jake responds still looking at Adi.

Jared sees this and whispers to Paul, "Found the girl."

Sam hears this and his head snaps up. He glares at Jacob and starts cussing at him. They both are shaking.

"Samuel! You cannot yell and cuss someone out in the house! If you break something Emily will be mad. I don't know or care what you are fighting about, but I recomed you don't fight in a room with furniture that is easy to break, or walls that are easily destroyed. So both of you go outside and fight or whatever! Just don't kill each other! Out!" Adira yells at them pointing towards the door.

Sam grabs Jacobs arm and shoves him outside. The guys in the room looks at Adira wide eyed as no body yells at Sam.

Outside, Sam yells at Jake, "How could you imprint on my sister! I just got her back! I just found out she was alive and you have to go and imprint on her! You better not screw this up Black!"

"What do you mean just found out she was alive?" Jake asks Sam.

"She disappeared when she was eight, apparently she got lost in the woods and made her way to New York where she met and stayed with a friend." Sam responds.

"Did she say why she came back?"

"Did not say, and I did not ask." Sam responds. "Now go inside and don't screw up."

XXX

Sam and Jake walk back inside after finishing their fight.

"Looks like you did not kill each other. Thanks." Adi tell them.

"So, what are we doing today. Is it finally time to go cliff diving." Jared asks. It is a pack tradition to go cliff diving as an initiation for each member, and they have yet to go with Jacob yet.

"Yes, I think it would be ok to do today." Sam responds, knowing Jared just wants to push Jacob off a cliff.

"Can I go with?" Adi asks.

"Fine, but you will not be diving." Sam responds before Jacob gets the chance to make a comment.

Adi rolls her eyes, "We will see."
