Chapter 2

Percy woke up to the soft feeling of somebody stroking their hand through his long fur, curling their fingers around it, or simply stroking back and forth. He could distinctively make out the sounds of several people talking around him. He tried to open his eyes or get up, but his body would not respond, so he laid there waiting. Eventually he could make out what the people surrounding him were talking about.

"...stay here until he heals. He had some severe wounds, but i was able to heal him with my powers." A soft, melodic voice said from above him, the person stroking him. 'Powers?' Percy thought, slightly panicked, but another girls voice interrupted his train of thought.

"I wonder where he came from, my Lady. He does not look more than eight or nine months old? Shouldn't wolves still be with their pack?"

"Yes, they should be with their old pack at this age. Wolves are fully grown at his age, so he could have chosen a new one, depending on what he wants. I don't think this one was banished, he looks strong and powerful..." They were cut of by one of Percys low whines, he felt sore everywhere and had a pounding headache. He opened his eyes slowly, only to shut them quickly because of the light assaulting his eyes. He whined even more, turning into the warmth at his side. The people had turned their attention on him now, the person stroking him, telling him soothing words.

He opened his eyes again, looking straight into silver eyes, framed by chocolate red hair. 'Mom!' was his first thought, happiness and relief surging through him. His mother was safe and had saved him from the hellhounds, protecting him just like she had promised. But the more he studied his supposed mother, the more he realized it wasn't his her. He could've started sobbing at that exact moment, he just wanted to see his mother, to make sure she wasn't hurt in any way. But he composed himself enough to study the woman in front of him. Looking closer, he saw that the supposed chocolate red hair was auburn, her silver eyes were more yellow than silver, like the moon. For a moment he was stunned by her beauty, she looked to be around his age, petite but lithe for their age. Then it hit him, this was the girl he he saw before he lost consciousness, she had saved him.

Percy lifted his head of the girls lap and looked around him. He was lying by a big, warm campfire, sitting around him were about two dozen other girls, all of varying age. Some looked about his age, others even younger, but they were all wearing silver parkas. That's when he realized where he was, he, a boy, was currently lying in The Hunters of Artemis' camp, on none other than Lady Artemis' lap herself. He had just dug his own grave.

Luckily for him though, he was still in his wolf form, so he was alive for now. Artemis started scratching behind his ear, and automatically he leaned his head toward her hand and his hind leg started running on its own accord. The hunters laughed and Artemis chuckled. The scratching stopped after a while, Percy whined in protest and looked up at Artemis, she smiled down at him.

"So what's your name buddy? We found you hurt, being attacked in the woods, so we brought you to our camp and healed you. You can stay here until you're one hundred present healed." Percy tilted his head at her, if he talked, it would reveal what he was. He tried to stand up, afraid that they would discover he was the guy they were probably hunting for, so he could run away. But the moment he was on his feet, he collapsed face first on the ground again. He huffed out a breath as Artemis settled him in a more comfortable position on the ground again, stroking his fur. So Percy settled on nodding, as a thank you and a consent to stay here until he was healed. The hunters smiled, excited to have a new temporary family member.

"Your fur is so soft." The girl sitting on his other side murmured as she stroked her fingers through his fur. She had spiky black hair, electric blue eyes and a couple of freckles splattered across her nose and cheeks. Unlike the others, she wore a silver circlet on her head, like a tiara, and a black leather jacket over her silver parka. "I'm Thalia by the way. Does he understand what we're saying?" She smiled at him, addressing the last question towards Artemis.

"Yes, wolves are quite the intelligent animals. They can understand what we say, our body language, among other things. We need to find a name for him, so we don't go addressing him as "the wolf" or something." The other hunters nodded, throwing in different ideas, all of which were rejected, either "not suitable for him" or "it sounds weird". Slowly but surly, Percys eyes dropped and he fell asleep to the steady smalltalk of the hunters, the warmth of the campfire and several hands petting him.

When Percy woke up the next morning, the sun was barley warming his fur and the hands petting him was reduced to only one. Groggily he opened his eyes, only to come face to face with a snow white wolf. Percys head jerked back, his heart skipping several beats. While taking deep breaths to calm his racing heart, he could hear several chuckles around him. He looked around, seeing that he had been placed on a blanket near the campfire. Around him hunters were eating and watching him. By the placing of the sun, he predicted that it was around dinner time.

"About time you woke up sleepyhead!" a girl with light brown hair and brown eyes yelled at him. Confused, Percy looked back at the white wolf. Noticing his expression she explained to him how they had let him sleep in, because he obviously needed it. He was kind of surprised he could communicate with regular wolves, without speaking like a human. But he was happy he had a way to communicate with others while he was here.

Percy got up and stretched, happy to find that all his limbs were responding, also the fact that he could stand up at all. One of the younger hunters came up to him and gave him a bowl with some kind of meat in it. He looked sceptically at it, wondering what it actually was.

"Don't worry, its elk meat." she told him after seeing his expression. Percy gave her a wolfish grin and dug in, only a couple of seconds later, the bowl was licked clean. He looked up at the hunters stunned expressions, obviously not used to a wolf eating this much, so fast. He looked down ashamed when his stomach rumbled. So instead of eating up the hunters food, he decided to go hunting. Stretching his legs, he jogged out of camping grounds, hunters calling after him.

The hunters were anxious, their new wolf had disappeared into the forest about ten minutes ago. They had gotten strict instructions from Lady Artemis to look after him, before she had left for a meeting on Olympus. She thought that there was something more to him than they thought. For some kind of reason, she was having problems controlling and talking telepathically to him, something she could do to any other kind of wolf. So when he disappeared into the woods, they panicked. Not knowing what to do, they turned to their lieutenant, Thalia. She, thinking he only went to do personal business, had to organize a search and find.

"Girls, listen! We will send out search parties, go in pairs, Phoebe and me will go..." before she could finish her sentence, Percy came through the forest line, dragging a brown bear carcass with him. He dropped it at Thalias feet, sent her a wolfish grin, and disappeared back into the forest. When he returned he was dragging, a slightly smaller, brown bear carcass. He looked up at their shocked faces, that held a trace of slight confusion, in his head he just shrugged it off and began eating his share of the meal.

Artemis flashed in, ready to deliver the news she collected from Olympus, only to see her hunters standing in shock, staring at the wolf. She looked back and forth between her hunters, the carcass and the wolf wondering what had happened.

She cleared her throat to get their attention, "Did he steal your kill? It wouldn't surprise me, as he is a male, after all." she asked sternly, aiming her bow at Percy, who was too absorbed in his dinner to notice.

"No, my Lady. Actually, he brought this kill here for us, I think." Thalia told her mistress frantically, not wanting her to kill the wolf. When Artemis looked at her oddly, she explained what had happened, looking down at her feet when she explained how he had ran away from them.

When she was done explaining, Percy had given the rest of his meal to the other wolves in the camp. He went over to the bear carcass, that had yet to be touched, and gently nudged it in Artemis' direction. A clear sign that he was offering it to her. Both the hunters and Artemis were shocked, they had never experienced any type of male, human or not, offer them a part of their meal. And he had even offered them the biggest one.

While the hunters were processing this, Percy sat there waiting patently. He knew what the Hunters of Artemis did for a living, he was hoping to get on their good side, but he would have done this anyway. It's what he always had done for his mother the times she had let him hunt for her.

"Well, thank you. This is very nice of you." Artemis told him after a while. She walked over and snaked her thin, strong arms around his muscular neck, hugging him. In a sitting position, Artemis reached up to his chest, so hugging him was fairly easy for her. He was over 2 meters tall after all. Percy closed his eyes, savoring the hug as long as he could, but Artemis broke it all too soon for Percys liking.

"Lets make S'mores at the campfire and I'll tell you the news I got on Olympus." The girls nodded, some running off to get what they needed, others dragging the carcass to a tent.

They were all seated around the campfire, roasting their marshmallows, Percy laying comfortably between Thalia and Artemis. "Like most of you know," Artemis started, getting everybody's attention, "yesterday I was gone. Well, the short story is that Zeus had gotten information from somewhere that Lupa, the Roman Goddess of Wolves, had conceived a child." some of the hunters gasped, "We do not know how old he or she is, all we know is that Lupa broke her sacred oath. We do not know to what extent the powers of her child is, is it a shapeshifter? It is her first born, so it must be powerful." She let everybody process before continuing.

"So yesterday, when I was gone, the Olympians and I were tracking Lupa, trying to find her. When we had finally found her, she was alone. But Zeus insisted we bring her into custody on Olympus to try to get any information out of her. That's what Ares and Apollo did today in front of the council. She wouldn't budge, not answering any of Apollos questions, or responding to Ares' cruel methods..." she said, disgust clear in her voice. Percy froze, 'Were they torturing her over him?'.

"But I was able to stop it before it went to far," Percy let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding. "So now Zeus is trying to figure out what we're going to about it, so I'm probably going to be absent more often." The hunters groaned while Artemis smiled at them, popping a roasted marshmallow in her mouth.
After a couple of minuets of silence and slight tension, a hunter broke it by announcing "Hey, you guys should've seen when Alyssa tried to catch this fish, and she ended up falling into the river!" Everybody started laughing while Alyssa turned beet red. After that, the conversation began to flow more freely.

As Percy laid there, enjoying how Artemis stroked his fur, he felt the hairs on his back stand up and tingle. He had never doubted his scenes before, so he threw himself around, jumping over Thalia in the process and launching at the hellhound creeping up behind Thalia. He dug his fangs into its neck, shaking it vigorously until it disappeared into a puff of smoke. The hunters were so quiet, that you could've heard a pin drop. But in no time, Thalia rushed up to him, hugging him into her side muttering "Thank you" over and over again.

"Group hug!" the same girl that had called him sleepyhead, yelled, rushing up to then all the other hunters followed her example, rushing towards him, even Artemis joined the fun. With S'mores and stories long forgotten,and even though he was squished, he felt perfectly at home.

Hope you liked it! Now to some info, please read!

Since Percy is 15 in this story, it takes place after The Titans Curse, so Zoë is unfortunately dead and Thalia is thelieutenant.

I'm having problems with Percys parentage, I don't know if you guys want Percys father to be:

1. A god = Percy will be a god (What god)?

2. One of the wolves in Lupas pack = Percy will have the same immortality as Artemis' hunters

3. A mortal = Percy will be a Half-Blood

4. A descendent of one of the gods = Percy will have the same immortality as Artemis' hunters, but will also have minor powers from the god. (What god, what powers?)

5. Any other suggestions?

Review and tell me! Love you guys!
