Hello, everybody this is chapter 2, it's like a second introduction. Also, someone pointed out alpha is spelled with a PH. For the Night Fury it is spelled with a F for a reason. AlPHa was Valka's bewiladabeast and I plan to bring him back, so this is a way to distinguish them.
3rd person POV
It was late in the night that someone screamed in a cabin on the coast of New York's Montauk beach. It was the scream of someone seeing a loved one die. Directly after that there was an evil laugh, a laugh of someone enjoying another person's endless suffering. If you were to enter the cabin you would find a small 5-year-old child crying over the body of a beautiful woman while an almost bald, fat, and very drunk man is laughing manically. The man was holding a broken beer bottle that was dripping a red liquid off its sharp edges. He was also bottomless, and the woman's body showed signs of rape. The boy had shaggy raven black hair with tinges of red it from a gash that ran from his upper right eye diagonal to his lower left cheek. His eyes may have been a brilliant sea green but now they are a dull moss green heavy with sadness. His left leg was bent at an odd angle. His hand looks like it was crushed, his shirt was stained red, and it was barely held together because of the number of cuts.
The boy who was shaking his mother's body, closed his eyes in complete sadness when he didn't get a response from her. He turned with his eyes still closed to the smirking man next to him. When he opened his eyes, they were like two hurricanes in place of his eye sockets. It was terrifying especially for the man who had never seen this in his eyes. The boy stands up and his mouth curls into a snarl. Then as the fat man step backwards he lets out a feral scream and a wave of power flows off him. The water in the plumbing comes flying out, the earth starts to shake around him, and storm clouds gather above them. The boy thrusts his hands toward the man. The water flowing around him reacts to his emotions and actions and flows with the speed of a freight train into the man. The man gets blown back into a wall with a sickening crunch. He slides down the wall with a face covered in blood.
The boy looked at his hands in fear before he runs out of the cabin barely grabbing his hoodie on the way out. He runs into the woods and continues for hours before he collapses near a stream. He slowly crawls towards it and gasped in pain as his leg began to hurt. He had to drag himself the rest of the way to the stream. He lowered his head to the stream and drank for several minutes relishing in the feeling of the water running down his throat. He doesn't notice the water crawling up the bank and sinking into his leg and starting to heal it. He was stopped when a growl resonated through the forest. The boy looks up and sees a large black dog with red eyes filled with hunger. The boy not even caring to look at his leg that had mysteriously stopped hurting looked at the dog with hatred; hatred at his luck, the man who killed his mother, and whoever was responsible for his horrible life. The dog looked at his look of anger and subconsciously stepped back.
Artimis POV
My hunters and I were walking through a forest near the ocean in New York after what happened to a child of Hermes a couple of days ago near here. Father tasked us to find whatever monsters were near hear and Uncle Poseidon told them to stay near the ocean because several of his subjects told him they saw monsters near the shore. They were just finishing setting up camp when a large wave of power came through the camp originating not far from there. All the hunters were instantly on alert, but nothing happened.
I said, "I am going to check out what that power surge was. Zoë you are in charge, stay on guard, don't leave camp, and I'll be back in 20 minutes."
"Of course, Milady" Came the standard response.
I quickly flashed to a cabin on the beach where I could tell the power surge came from. I took out my bow and entered the worn-down building. Once I was inside, I had to close my eyes to refrain from vomiting. The floor was flooded but tinged red from blood. On the right there was a fat, bald, unconscious man and on the bed in the center there was a barely conscious woman.
I quickly ran over to the woman and asked, "Are you okay? What happened here?"
"My boy, my boy, my little Percy. Where are you?" She was sobbing slightly before she fell unconscious again.
"APOLLO!" I screamed knowing I needed to be quick to save her. As I waited, I got a better look at her. She was undoubtably beautiful, but her body had bruises and cuts and showed signs of rape. Seeing this I boiled with rage but didn't do anything not wanting to jump to conclusions and tear apart another family with my impulsive behavior. Then Apollo flashed in.
"Hey little si- "was as far as he got before he vomited.
"Apollo quick I need you to heal this woman before she dies." Instantly Apollo goes into doctor mode and begins putting gold beams into her. After a few minutes he sighs and says, "She'll live but she'll be in a coma for quite a while. Whatever happened it did a number on her."
"Can you wake that man over there so we can find out what happened?" I asked
"I can try," he said before walking over to the man. He looked up after about 10 seconds. "I tried to wake him, but something is stopping me from being able to get him conscious."
"Can we see his memories?" I asked
"Yes, I want to see what is stopping me and who dam near killed that woman." He said as he offered me his hand.
I took it and was transported with Apollo to the man's memories from about 3 hours ago. I look around and see the man walk into the cabin where a boy with black hair was snuggling with the woman who must have been his mother. The man has a look of utter annoyance and anger. The woman looks up and sees him. Her eyes go fearful, and she stutters out, "G-g-g-abe wh-what are you doing here."
"You know dam well what I'm doing here. You said you were going out for an hour, and you take this little shit here so you two can relax on the beach. I'm goanna kill this little shit then you are going to come back with me so you can go back to work tomorrow." Came the man's hate filled response. At this the boy wakes up and when he says the man now identified as Gabe his expression goes scared but he gets up and stands in between his mother and the monster in front of him. He then said, "Stop Gabe you can't do this. I will go with you but don't be mean to mom." He said this very firmly and much more maturely than a five-year-old should.
"No, you little shit. Your mother needs to learn her lesson."
That is when the boy ran forward and punched the man in the kidney than kicking him in the chest. The man named Gabe hunched over then roared in anger and grabbed a beer bottle that he had brought with him and smashed it on the ground before standing up and slashing the poor boy on the face. He dropped to the floor clutching his face and screaming in pain. The man then walked to the woman and proceeded for the next 2 hours to rape and abuse the poor woman until he stabbed her with the beer bottle and getting up to no doubt finish off the boy. But by now the boy was up and they saw is show of power.
When they exited the memories, I wasted no time in shooting the poor excuse for a man in his groin and then his head and made a mental note to talk to Uncle Hades about a suitable punishment. Apollo was just standing in shock unable to process what he just saw. I went over to the woman and purified her body as a favor. Apollo then decided to snap out of his trance.
"The kid!" he exclaimed. "We have to find him before he is found by a monster."
"My hunters are nearby so I doubt any monsters will be anywhere near us. We will search for him tomorrow. Until then I want you to take her to your temple on Olympus until she wakes up. Do not do anything but help her. If I find you have done anything inappropriate you will have hell to pay. I will find the boy and we will keep him safe until his mother awakes and then we will take them to father."
Apollo nodded, walked over to the woman, and flashed out. I flashed to my hunter's camp where I was bombarded with questions.
"Did you find it? Was it a monster? Do we need to leave? Are we going hunting?"
I held up my hand that instantly silenced the questions. I was about to speak when Maddie a new girl who had been sent looking for fresh water came running into the camp.
"Milady, I found a stream but there is a wounded boy there and a pack of hellhounds nearby!"
"Show me."
She nodded and started running to a stream. It took them about two minutes to reach it. When they arrived, they heard a hellish growl and the boy looked up. His brilliant sea green eyes had a look of rage and … annoyance? He looked at the hellhound and it stopped dead. That is when I felt his aura. It was immense he must have been damming his power subconsciously to heal himself and it is rushing out. It was slightly less than that of a minor god, and at this age, not even Achilles was this powerful this young. I decided to wait and watch
Alfa POV
The boy holds immense power and skill. His heart is broken though. We must help him hiding or no hiding. I thought. The others are nearby hidden by the clouds in the night. I let out a low growl that they knew meant change to wolf form.
We changed into wolf form and dropped into areas around the clearing staying away from the moon goddess that would kill us if she got the chance. We walk next to the clearing seeing the boy in a stare down with a hellhound and winning. The hellhound took a step back and the boy took a step forward. I decided that it was enough and quickly jumped on the hellhound ripping its throat out. I then turn to the boy and quickly establish a mental connection so I can talk to him while the others enter the clearing.
Hello child, I have seen your struggles and know you have no family. I wish to offer you a home. A place where you will be loved as one of our own. You will never be beaten, and you will have everything you need. We want to help you child let us. I spoke with absolute sincerity and hoped that he would accept so we could ease his burden and help him.
His eyes seemed to bug out of his head, and he stumbled backwards. He landed on his butt and looked at me in fear. I then realize that I am very different from most wolves with my green eyes, black fur with blue accents, and my intimidating size. I quickly lay down with my head in the air to seem more friendly and the child seemed to think that it meant I wasn't going to attack (which I wasn't). He stood up and looked at me when the other draco-wolves walked in and lied down next to me. He looked startled.
These are my family child. We will take care of you as our family grows. We have all lost something and comfort each other. We wish to comfort and help you as well. Please child, come with us to your new home.
At this the child looked excited. They had lost something to. I won't be alone. I won't be hurt. I'll get to eat. I'll get a family. The boy looks to the others before looking at me and nods I give him a wolfish grin that would make any warrior shake in fear, but this boy just smiles back.
Hop on my back child we will return to the Nest.
The boy nodded and walked over to me and clambered onto my back very clumsily due to his mangled leg. The others chuckle at the boys attempt to get on my massive form.
Looks like Alfa found his one-legged, speechless, and charming human again. Comes the catcall from Nadder.
Oh, shut it Nadder. If I'm not mistaken, you once allowed a beautiful and crazy woman on your back. There are 3 right behind that tree if you want to introduce yourself. Came my witty retort.
She snapped her head to the tree I indicated and looked wild eyed. Hunters, quick they are running out of patience.
Coming from. Came the always sarcastic comment from Nightmare
Fine, let us run and see if they can keep up, shall we? I spoke. They all nodded, and we started to run into the foliage quickly losing the hunters as we ran to the new entrance to the Nest.
Artimis POV
I was about to shoot the hellhound and help the poor boy before a GIANT BLACK WOLF jumped out and RIPPED OUT THE THROAT of the hell hound. It then turned to the boy. I would have shot it if I wasn't so stunned and all I could think was how cursed this boy's luck was. First, he is tortured, then his mother nearly dies, then he gets attacked by a hellhound, now a giant ass wolf wants a meal. The wolf stands there for a minute until the boy steps back and falls startled. The wolf cocks his head before laying down with only his head up. The boy's expression changes from shock to confusion to excitement after a while. Four more wolves enter the clearing and lay down near the first one. They are all differently colored. A sea blue, a fiery red, a sky blue, and a purplish black. He stands up and nods. The wolf looks at him and splits his maw into a wolfish grin that in and of itself was so terrifying it made the aegis that my sister has look like a poorly made horror movie character. I freeze on the spot, but the boy just smiles back like this is nothing. He then clambered onto the large wolf. The Black wolf who seems to be the alfa looks at the sky-blue wolf and grins again. The blue wolf snaps her head to the tree we are standing behind. She turns back and waits a moment before the black wolf takes off with the others following suit.
I wait a moment taking in what happened before chasing after them. It's no competition, even at night under the moon I am far too slow to catch up. I hope to all hope that the poor boy would be okay. Poseidon loves his children, and he would be very sad if he were to die. I also wanted to know how he was so powerful at such a young age.
3rd Person POV
Somewhere in a Cave
"Ah, so they have gone and started their plans early, have they?" A sinister voice says in the darkness. "Very well I will start forwarding my own agenda. The dragons will regret making it through the trials. When the Alfa see's what I've got instore for his new child he will cave and surrender. (Evil Laugh)"
