Cole's POV

I wasn't accepted by the Hunt right away. Even though Percy had brought Zoe back and I was her brother and all they still didn't trust any male except Percy I noticed. They would always joke around with him, and I noticed Hannah and a couple of the younger ones really liked him, because he was like a big brother to them. And when I say big brother I mean big. He had to be at least 6'6'' and was ripped. I mean I thought I was pretty well built and tall at 6'1'' but he made me look like a wannabe next to him.

I started training with him and learned that he was incredible with any weapon. I fought him with a sword and it was a joke. He humiliated me and the Hunters watched laughing. Then we fought with spears, which is my favorite weapon and while I could hold him off for a little while he did stuff that I didn't even think was possible. He used both sides like a staff but also used it to jab at me. I was on my toes the whole time having to watch out for both ends but he still beat me.

Finally Artemis wanted us to use bows and I surprisingly beat him. But I guess he wasn't surprised. The Hunters though cheered for Percy not that I was surprised. What shocked me after I got him in the chest with an arrow and he was declared "dead" was when Thalia said, "Good job Percy, you almost hit him, I bet if he was standing still then you would have hit him at least once." The rest of the Hunters laughed at that and I stood confused. Seeing my confusion, Percy explained that he was a terrible archer.

To prove him point he aimed at a target that was 50 feet away and fired. It looked like he barely got in the second outside ring. but he was grinning.

"That was probably the best I have ever done."

Everyone laughed at him including myself.

"Hey!" He protested but he was grinning. "Watch this."

With that he whipped a throwing knife out of its sheath and threw it. We all looked and our jaws hit the floor when we saw that it was in the very center of the target.

"Who is laughing now?" He said grinning.

Then his knife fell out and all of us laughed even harder none more so than Zoe and Thalia.

"Alright alright" He said joining us in our laughter.

-Time Skip-

It has been almost a year since I joined and since Zoe came back. It took me a few months to get the Hunters to like me, but I did solve a big issue between Thalia and Zoe, and saved one of their sisters.

It started a couple weeks after Zoe returned, Thalia wanted to step down and let Zoe be the Lieutenant again, but Zoe said, her time was over as Lieutenant, and that Thalia was doing a good job. Thalia was stubborn though and wanted to give it back, but my sister could be just as stubborn and refused. Finally I was tired of their fighting and stepped between them.

"Why don't you both be Lieutenants?" I suggested. They stopped fighting and looked at me.

"Cole, that is a brilliant idea, and I am sure Artemis would approve." Percy said eager to stop his friends from arguing.

We went to Artemis and asked her and she agreed immediately saying it was a great idea. That earned Thalia's respect and the rest of the Hunters didn't hate me as much.

What really made them like me was when I saved their sister Hannah.

FlashBack


She was practicing archery all the time, and decided to go get a deer for dinner so Percy wouldn't have to summon the food for once. I was patrolling along with the other wolves who had accepted me right away because I was a werewolf. I was bored with only training with Percy, and occasionally going to go help a demigod with Percy.

I was watching Hannah because she had wandered a little too far from the rest of the Hunters and I followed not wanting her to get hurt, and feeling protective over her for some reason that I still hadn't figured out why. She found tracks of a deer and followed them while I followed a little ways behind her. She had just found a deer and had shot it making a clean kill, the arrow going right into its heart killing it instantly. Just as she began to skin in and take out the parts that nobody eats, a big grizzly bear showed up having smelled the blood of the fresh kill. Hannah didn't heard it growl but didn't have time to get an arrow and kill it plus it was way too close and would need more than one arrow to kill.

Without thinking I jumped on it and tried to go for its neck. All I got was fur and barely any skin. This angered the bear and he rose up on his back paws and threw me to the side. I howled in pain and as a call to Percy who would hopefully hear me. Then I got up again and saw that Hannah had tripped on a root and twisted her ankle and hit her head pretty bad. I was angry that this bear had caused her to be hurt and was going to make it pay. As it started to go for Hannah again I came from behind and jumped on its neck with all my weight. I brought its head down and used my claws to scratch its face trying to get its eyes. It roared in pain and tried to throw me off. Then I heard Percy's voice calling out to me.

"Cole move now!"

I jumped off and without thinking went to Hannah and stood in front of her. I looked and saw Percy shoot at it with his bow and it was an incredible shot piercing it in its heart killing it immediately. No one paid any attention to the one in a million shot that happened, or the fact that it was Percy of all people who did it. I transformed into a human and spoke to Percy, "Percy put her on my back."

I then transformed back into a wolf and crouched down. I heard Artemis start to say, "But…"

"Arty its ok let him do it I think I know why he is doing this." Percy said cutting her off.

She looked like she was going to protest again but I growled and Percy put her on my back carefully. He made sure she was safe and secure and nodded at me. I then went as fast as I could go without jolting her. We went straight to the healing tent. I crouched down again to allow Percy to take Hannah off my back. Then I transformed into a human and grabbed her from him.

Hannah woke up at that moment and said, "Thank you Cole." Before she passed out again from the pain.

I didn't say anything and carried her into the tent. Then I started to take care of her. It wasn't too bad of an injury mostly just painful for her, but I felt very protective of her and knew I should I kept better watch over her. I then used my powers that I got from Helios and healed her. It wasn't that difficult but it drained me for some reason. I then sat beside her bed and waited for her to wake up. I didn't notice Artemis, Zoe, or Percy walk in or leave.

-Time Skip-

After what seemed like hours to me, but was really probably only like 30 or 40 minutes, Hannah started to stir. Finally she woke up, and looked around and catching my eyes.

"Where am I? The bear! Cole you were hurt are you okay?" She said quickly with concern.

I grinned at her and said, "Percy took care of the bear its okay. And I am a little hurt but you needed immediate attention moreso than me." I didn't like lying, but I didn't want to upset or worry her too much.

"Cole…Thank you for saving me." Hannah said softly.

"Hannah, I wish I could have gotten there a little sooner, before that thing almost got you. I should have paid better attention to my surroundings." I said looking down ashamed.

"Cole don't say that! You are one of the bravest people I know. I doubt anyone could have stopped the bear from getting me by themselves." Hannah said grinning slowly.

"Hannah…" I started not knowing what to say next.

Then she did something that shocked me to no end. She kissed me. I froze up and she leaned back looking scared wondering if she did the right thing.

I grinned at her and leaned forward and kissed her again before breaking the kiss.

"Hannah I think I like you a lot." I said looking into her eyes.

"I think I do too." she said softly.

Then I had a thought. "But you made a vow." I said. She looked sad, but then looked at me and said, "Cole if it means I can be with you I will break it so I can be with you."

"No Hannah I won't allow you to do that. This is your family, and I won't take you away from them. I want you to stay in the Hunt. I just want you to be happy." I said shaking my head at her.

"But Cole… being with you makes me happy." she said before smiling at me again and kissing me.

"If that is what you want then I will back you up, but we are going to have to tell Artemis." I said.

"Tell me what?" a voice said.

I cringed turning around, then stepping closer to Hannah I grabbed her hand. We looked and saw Artemis and Percy looking at us trying to hide their smiles

"My lady, I am sorry but I am going to have to break my vow. I like Cole and he likes me, and I can't stay in the Hunt if I love someone." She said. I squeezed her hand encouragingly and she looked at me with eyes of love. We didn't expect to hear laughing and shocked looked to see Artemis and Percy laughing.

"See Arty I told you." Percy said grinning cheekily.

"Alright Percy no need to rub it in." Artemis said. Then turning to us, she looked at Hannah and said, "Hannah I have a proposition for you."

"Since I myself have fallen in love with this Seaweed Brain. I will allow you to be with Cole. I know he was brought up right, and will respect you and he is like Percy. However, Cole if you ever break her heart, you will wish someone else finds you before either Percy or I do, because it won't be pretty when we are done with you." she said warningly.

"I won't Lady Artemis, I swear on the Styx." I said bowing. Thunder was heard outside sealing the oath.

"Please just call me Artemis, I don't know why you and Percy both were so respectful to me in the beginning." Artemis said.

"Probably because you would turn us into jackalopes." Percy muttered before yelping as Artemis struck him in the back of his head.

"Sorry Arty." Percy said rubbing the back of his head.

"Well we will leave you two alone, and Hannah you can tell everyone else during dinner if you would like." Artemis said before walking out with Percy.


well that's the end of this one sorry its kinda short.
