A/N: For the sake of anyone who hasn't read Inner Demons yet, here is the story:

Okay, New Olympia is attacked (somewhat) by a strange sickness which eventually kills the person who is infected. One night there's a car crash and Herry pulls out a woman who has been infected but no one knows it. The sickness then gets passed on to one of the classmates of Jay and Archie and she gets sick and dies. So, the seven heroes investigate to see whether or not Cronus is behind it. While out in the woods where they're investigating, Archie becomes infected. Yes, I know Archie is immune to all kinds of sickness, but this is no ordinary sickness. But, to the story. While all of the above stuff is happening, the heroes each have a strange dream (in Theresa's case vision) that another member of the team is behind the weird events. If you want the pairings here they are:

Theresa-Archie
Archie-Jay
Odie-Neil
Herry-Odie
Atlanta-Herry
Jay-Atlanta, and later on Cronus

So, while Theresa and Atlanta help Archie control the "shadow sickness" inside of him, Herry, Jay, Odie and Neil go out. Which results in Jay getting infected. After that, Jay tries to kill off Archie because he's the only one who can stop all the bad stuff that's going on. Jay tries to drown Archie (but saved by Poseidon's guards), strike him down with lightning (ends up only hitting his ankle brace and melting the inside), and steals his immunity (which oddly enough Archie gets back in a dream). So, Jay turns to framing Archie for stealing the gods' powers and says that Archie tried to kill him one night at the dorm. Archie gets frustrated and quits. Jay then steals Herry's, Odie's, Neil's, Theresa's, and Atlanta's abilities and powers as well as the rest of the gods'. Archie comes back and goes after Jay. There's a fight in the Underworld, Jay pushes Theresa over the side of a cliff which over looks the River Styx, Archie manages to drain all of the shadow (which they find out if Erebus, god of darkness) out of Jay and saves Theresa. Only, the last one ends up with Archie dying because he transferred Erebus' powers to Theresa so that she was immortal and she couldn't die. Back in Hera's office, everyone is really sad because now they have to bury Archie, but thanks to Hades Archie comes back.

And that's Inner Demons in a very long summary. Now, on to chapter twelve of Wolves.

"Neil, is something wrong?"

Neil looked up into the silvery eyes of his girlfriend.

"The guys are just being jerks," the Charm replied.

"What are they being jerks about? If you don't mind my asking," Selene said.

"It's nothing," Neil answered.

"In other words, it's secret," Selene put in. "I understand."

She looked out of the restaurant window. The sun was bathing New Olympia in a warm, golden glow.

Neil played around with his radio. He wanted to ask Selene if she knew anything about the Silver Wolf, but he was afraid she would get mad and defensive.

"Just ask her if she heard rumors about it while she was living in Greece," he told himself.

Neil took a deep breath. "Um...Selene?"

"Yeah?"

"While you were living in Greece did you hear any rumors about...um...a government project?"

Selene frowned slightly. "Why?" she asked.

"Well, I was just going through some old newspapers the other day and one of them had a story about something going on in Athens," Neil explained.

Selene seemed to relax. "Yeah. I did hear rumors about that. But, why are you just bringing it up now?" she wanted to know.

"Because officials think that the thing the Greece government was working on may be in New Olympia," Neil answered.

"Have there been any sightings?" Selene asked.

"One or two," Neil replied quietly.

Selene rubbed her arm.

"Do you know where the sightings were?" she asked.

"Somewhere in the woods, I think," Neil answered. "Archie and Herry went looking a few weeks ago. They said they just found a dog."

"Um...Neil?"

Neil looked up. "Yeah? You okay?"

"Neil, there's something I've been meaning to tell you," Selene said.

Just then, Neil's radio rang.

"Sorry. Hello? You're calling me just to tell me that Herry had been scratched? Jay, get a life, would ya?"

There was a short pause.

"He's what? You said it was just a dog."

Selene's eyes widened in horror.

"What am I supposed to do? Jay, I'm on a date, here," Neil whispered.

"Neil, this is important. Herry's not himself and I need to inform at least one of the gods," Jay said.

Neil groaned. "What about Selene?" he asked quietly.

"Blind fold her if you want to take her. I don't care. Just get to the school and tell Hera or Chiron," Jay instructed.

The line went dead. Neil groaned as he closed his radio.

"Is something wrong?" Selene asked.

"Uh...no. Herry just left something at the school and on the way got attacked by a dog. So, Jay wants me to go to school and get whatever it is that Herry left," Neil explained.

"What about the dog?" Selene asked.

"It's just a dog," Neil assured her. "Um, do you want to come with me to school?"

"Sure," Selene replied.

The two friends got up and walked out of the restaurant.

Neil and Selene walked down the deserted hallway of Olympus High.

"Neil, where did Herry leave his stuff?" Selene asked as they walked up to the janitor's closet.

Neil mentally slapped himself. He should have blindfolded her before they entered the school. Just then, the door opened and the janitor came out.

"Hello, Mr. Suez," Selene greeted.

"Hello, Selene. Hello Neil. What are you two doing here?" Mr. Suez asked. He looked at Neil as he said this.

"How to tell him I have to see Chiron without Selene knowing?" Neil asked himself.

"We...uh...came to get something for Herry," the blond explained.

"Then, why are we standing in front of the janitor's closet?" Selene asked. "Can't we just go the pharmacy?"

"I understand. Please, take whatever you need," Suez said, stepping to the side.

Neil pushed Selene into the closet.

"Neil? What's going on?"

Neil pulled the cord to turn on the light. The door swung shut and Selene felt something wrap around her eyes.

"Hey!"

"Trust me, Selene, please," Neil said.

Through the blindfold, Selene could see a mystical blue light. Neil took her hand and guided her through the light. It was like walking through water.

"Neil, where are we?" Selene asked.

"I sure hope Zeus can wipe her memory," Neil thought.

"Why, Neil. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Hi."

"Who is your friend?"

Selene felt the blindfold lifted from her eyes. She opened her eyes and blinked her vision back into focus. An elderly woman into focus. Selene took in a sharp breath.

"You're...you're..."

Selene swallowed the lump that was forming in her throat. She turned to Neil.

"You didn't tell me?"

"I couldn't."

"You don't trust me?"

"I do. I just couldn't tell you."

"It is for the protection of both the gods and the heroes."

Selene turned back to the woman.

"Miss. Hera. Forgive me, but, I thought you were...just a myth," she confessed.

Hera smiled. "Understandable. Most humans would rather it be kept that way," she explained.

"So, we're not here to get some kind of book, are we, Neil?" Selene asked.

"No," Neil replied. He turned to Hera. "We're in trouble."

"What kind of trouble?" Hera asked, frowning a little.

"Herry got attacked by a stray dog and now he's not doing so good," Neil explained. "But, we don't know where the dog came from and Herry's acting strange, so we have to see Chiron."

"He's in his study," Hera replied.

Selene followed Neil as he headed off in the direction of two large oak doors.

"Neil, why did Hera take off the blindfold?" she asked.

"She trusts you," Neil answered. "Believe me, when the queen of the gods allows someone other than the chosen seven heroes into the Secret Wing, it's because she trusts you. It's kinda like Batman blindfolding people he brings to the Batcave. He doesn't take the blindfold off until they're inside."

"That makes sense, I guess," Selene said.

The friends walked into another room.

"Chiron?"

"Hello, Neil."

"Whoa!"

A centaur walked up. "You must be Selene. We've heard so much about you," he said.

Selene smiled weakly.

"You've grown into a beautiful young woman," Chiron said.

"Thank you," Selene replied quietly.

"You are probably wondering why you are being allowed inside the most secret of places," Chiron said.

"Kinda," Selene answered. "From what I've gathered only seven people know about this place."

"Yes. Neil, Jay, Theresa, Archie, Atlanta, Odie and Herry," Chiron listed.

"Come again?" Selene asked.

"Maybe I will tell you the story some other time. Right now, I believe you have come to see me about Herry," Chiron said.

"Yeah. Herry was attacked by a strange dog and now he's acting strange," Neil explained.

"No one recognized the dog?" Chiron asked.

Neil shook his head.

"Well, that could be a problem," Chrion said.

Just then, the doors opened and someone came in. Selene turned around and gasped.

"Hermes?!"

"Selene!"

"Wait. I was taken in by the immortal Hermes. The messanger for the gods? The god of communication, trade, travel..."

"I'm glad you remember me," Hermes said.

Selene ran over and threw her arms around Hermes' neck.

"How could I forget the person who saved my life?" she asked.

Hermes wrapped his arms around Selene.

"I'm very happy to see that you are well and safe."

"Thanks to you," Selene replied.

The two friends broke apart. Hermes' smile faded.

"Hermes, what's wrong?" Chiron asked.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...Herry's gone wolf."

I know letting other people outside of the seven is forbidden, but Selene already knows Hermes and Cronus are walking around so it was only a matter of time before she figured out that the other gods were alive as well. Please don't get mad at me.
