Holy crap, I seriously did not expect y'all to send all of those reviews in so quickly.

But, here, as promised, is chapter 4 (and I won't have a cliffhanger... Or will I?)


Last Chapter

"We will meet again, Perseus. Mark my words." and with that, they disappeared, gone in the wind. I looked around, and started to walk to my friends. I forgot all about my crushed ankle until I tried to use it. I yelped in pain and fell down. My friends ran over, and I went back to human, this time, my eyes normal, and my fangs not so long and noticeable. Piper quickly fed me ambrosia and I felt the familiar warm feeling spread through me.

They all stared at me, and Annabeth suddenly pecked my on the cheek, then looked me in the eye, dead serious

"You have, a lot of explaining to do, Percy."


Percy's POV

Before I explained anything, I told them to follow me. I'm sorry, but I don't want to stay in that alley any longer.
I tried to walk, but my ankle was not completely healed yet, so I fell. I growled in frustration, and turned into a wolf. It would be easier to travel since I had three other legs.

I limped to Central Park using my werewolf speed (but not going any fast than a regular wolf), so the others had to run to keep up. Once we were there, my friends sat down on either the bench or the grass, panting slightly.
I sat down and stared at them, and they stared back. I sighed, and turned back. I stood up, ankle healed (just another perk of being a werewolf), and looked down. They kept on waiting. Here goes nothing.

I started to explain everything. The way and when I got bit, when I started to get my cool new powers, everything that I didn't tell them before.
When I was done, they stared at me in shock.

"So you were the wolf that I kept smelling." Grover said braking the silence. I nodded sheepishly.

"Why did you run off, though?" Frank asked. I pointed to the full moon. He let out soft "Oh", but then turned back to me, confused.
"Then how are you all, you know, civilized now?" Frank asked.
"I don't remember all of it. But when I saw Annabeth in that vampires arms, something in my mind just, clicked." I answered, Annabeth smiled at me, but became serious again.

"Well, why didn't you tell us?" Annabeth asked, looking into my green eyes. I sighed and plopped down onto the grass, Indian style.
"Because I never asked for this. I never asked to be a monster." I said softly. Annabeth cocked her head, and came down to sit next to me. She turned my head to I was facing her, and gave me a short but sweet kiss.

"Your not a monster, Percy. If you were, you wouldn't be here right now. You wouldn't be able to control yourself back there, and even if you had, you wouldn't have saved us." Annabeth told me. The others nodded, and that's when Grover decided to jump in.
"Annabeth's right, Perce. Your still a hero, you're still you."
"Yeah. Who cares if you're a werewolf. You got more powers. Your faster, stronger, your sight and hearing is better." Thalia said.
"Personally, all of those things make you even more unstoppable." Hazel told me.
"And we'll stick by you no matter what." Nico said, grinning.
"Through thick and thin." Fran said.
"Hot-" Leo started, "and cold" Reyna finished.
"Through all of the tough times you have" Piper and Jason said together.
"Every step of the way." Grover said.
"We'll protect you, fight with you. We'll be there. And that's a promise" Annabeth finished. I smiled at them. I seriously have the best friends in the whole freaking world.

"Thanks." I said, "But you can't tell anyone, not even Chiron. I'll tell them when I think the time is right."
They nodded their heads, with no hesitation. Leo looked at his watch and cursed.
"What is it?" Reyna asked.
"IT'S 10:15, we have exactly 15 minutes until we have to be back at camp." he answered.
"Styx." Grover muttered. (see what I did there :) )

"It'll take us ten minutes to get to the car." Piper said. I got an idea.
"Hand me the car keys." I told Annabeth. She was about to question, but stopped as she realized what I was going to do. She quickly handed them over. I turned to the others, and grinned.

"See you in about two minutes." I told them, and ran through the city at top speed.
It took me about twenty seconds to get to the car. I quickly slipped into the drivers seat, and drove to Central Park.
When I got there, my friends ran to the van and hopped in.
"Step on it." Nico said. I quickly did, and it took us about ten minutes to get to camp. I parked and we ran up the hill as fast as we could, and into the borders. We sighed and said our goodbyes, so soon it was only me and Annabeth left. We walked down together.

"Annabeth?" I asked.
"Yes?' she asked.
"Did you really mean what you said earlier, about staying with me, no matter what?" she nodded, looking at me. I met her eyes.
"Did you mean it?" She kept staring into my eyes.
"Of course I did, Seaweed Brain. Your brave, not only my boyfriend, but my best friend, and your loyal, no matter what. Your our friend, and we're yours. We'll stick by you no matter what, because not only is that what friends do, but because we now you'd do it for us." Her eyes twinkled, and I smiled. I swept down and caught her lips with mine (OMG, I have been waiting for this FANGIRL SCREAMS- AHHHHHH! OK, I think I'm good now. Wait- yeah, I'm done:D). I wrapped my arms around her waist, and she wrapped hers around my neck. Right now, nothing else mattered, it was just me and her. The kiss was gentle and sweet, and ended faster than I would have liked. She hugged me, and I hugged her back.
"I love you." she mumbled into my shoulder. I smiled.
"I love you too."
We broke apart a second later, said good night, and headed towards our cabins. A grin was plastered on my face the whole way, and even when I fell asleep.

The smile stayed.

Unknown's POV

I paced in my thrown room, waiting for the return of Payne. (Just so your not confused, that was that vampire leader in the last chapter)I stopped and stared at myself in the mirror. I had a beautiful face, pale, but not as pale as the other vampires. I had blood red eyes that matched my lips, rosy cheeks, and my curled hair was a golden brown and reached my mid back. I wore a red and black dress that stopped at my ankles, and no shoes. I didn't need them.
Suddenly, the shadows in the room bended to the center of the thrown room, and Payne stepped out of them. I stopped and stared coldly at him

"Well." I asked with a bit of an Italian accent.
"We did not manage to kill Perseus Jackson." he said quietly, but loud enough for me to here. I became enraged, but before I could yell at him, he spoke once again.
"But, we do know one of his greatest weaknesses." Well, maybe he is not entirely unreliable.
"What is it?" I asked.
"His friends. He appears to be very loyal to them." I grinned, and idea forming in my head.
"Who are they, only the most powerful ones. And tell me which ones you think will be the easiest to corrupt." I ordered.

"Yes, my queen. There is a Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus. But she is also Artemis' Lieutenant."
I shook my head.
"Then there is her brother, Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, but he is also very loyal, no where near as much as Jackson, but still loyal." Payne informed.
Once again, I shook my head.
"Then there is Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto. She is very powerful, but not experienced enough with her powers." I shook my head once again.
"There is Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, very powerful, but probably the easiest of them all to capture." I smiled.
"Bring him to me as soon as possible." he bowed and started to exit when I stopped him.
"And do not fail me again. Or else." He got a scared look on his face, and bowed once again, and walked back into the shadows to retrieve the demigod.
I walked back

Nico di Angelo is going to be our most powerful vampire, and he will be a vampire, even if he's good or bad. I'll make sure of it.

Sucky ending, I know, but at least it wasn't a cliffhanger... Well, sort of. It's a half cliffie (if that even makes sense to you, but it does to me so who cares?)

When I get up to 35 reviews, I'll write the net chapter :D

Until next time, my friends *jumps off building and soars away*
