A/N: I'm terribly sorry for the long delay. I've been involved with a cantata and that has taken up most of my time. But, now that it's over I'm hoping to get more chapters up. Thank you for being patient with me.
It had been fun trying to get a massive, muscular, dark brown furred wolf unnoticed into Olympus High. It was even more fun trying to drag it...or him...down the hall towards the janitor's closet.
"Herry, come on. Be a good boy and co-operate," Archie growled as he tried to pull his friend down the hall.
Herry just sat there, looking at the seven humans with little interest in doing what he was told.
"Who knew werewolves were so stubborn?" Odie asked.
Jay jabbed Odie in the ribs with his elbow. The Brain suddenly realized what he had said. However, Selene seemed more worried about Herry at the moment.
"I've tried every psychic trick I have," Theresa told Jay. "He's resisted everything."
"There has to be something he'll respond to," Atlanta put in.
Selene touched her silver charm. She pulled it off her neck and walked over to Herry.
Herry's ears perked up when he saw her. Selene dangled the charm in front of Herry's face. Uncharacteristically, Herry became very playful.
"Aren't werewolves supposed to be afraid of silver?" Neil asked.
"Who's a good boy?" Selene said in a playful voice.
"This is weird," Theresa commented as Selene led Herry to the closet.
"Is that really pure silver?" Jay asked.
Archie took out his pendant and placed it into the keyhole. The sundial spun around and the door opened. Selene lead Herry inside the closet and the others followed. Jay pulled the cord and the door swung shut. The wall turned into a portal and Selene was the first one through, followed quickly by Herry. The others walked through the portal and followed Selene to Chiron's study.
Chiron looked up as the door of his study opened. Selene walked in.
"Ah, Selene. Good to see you again."
"Can you get something to put Herry to sleep?" Selene asked.
Chiron went to find Dionysus. The others walked into the study. Herry was lying down on the couch, watching each one of them with curious eyes. His tail swayed back and forth.
"You okay, Odie?" Jay asked.
"I don't like the look in Herry's eyes," Odie answered. "It's almost like he's...uh...never mind."
"Like he's what? Like he's hungry?" Atlanta asked.
"He is Herry after all," Odie pointed out. "Wolf or not, he probably still has his large appetite. Only, he'll want wolf food, not human food."
Jay then realized what Odie was trying to say. He looked from Herry to the rest of the team.
"Odie, do you think you could make some of kind cage to keep him in?" the Leader asked. "And, one that can withstand his strength."
"I'll get right on it," Odie announce. He ran out of the study.
Jay turned to the rest of the team. They seemed to be looking at Herry with a new found caution.
"While Odie gets the cage, I want everyone to keep their distance. Preferably anywhere other than this room," Jay explained.
"If you need me, I'll be in the gym," Archie said.
And with that, he headed out the door. Atlanta followed close behind.
"I have to talk to Persephone about something," Theresa said.
She got up and headed for Persephone's solarium.
Just then, Chiron and Dionysus came in.
"Oh my!"
Herry growled. Selene rubbed his ears and he settled down. Very cautiously, Dionysus walked over. The wolf narrowed its eyes at the god. Dionysus took out a syringe.
"Easy, Herry. This will help you sleep."
Herry yelped as the syringe pierced his skin. Dionysus fell back when Herry snapped at him. But, within seconds, Herry was asleep.
"That should keep him unconscious for a few hours," Dionysus panted. "Now, all that needs to be done now is to determine a cure. Before this becomes permanent."
(Herry's POV)
The last thing I remember was helping Odie in the garage. Then, I guess there was a short time before I transformed.
Man, my head is killing me. Whatever Dionysus drugged me with it gives you one nasty headache. And on top of that, I'm hungry. Do these people know the meaning of the word "food"? Guess not.
I stretch and open my eyes. I guess Odie must've finished that cage thing because I'm lying in it. I look around the room. Jay is out cold on the couch, and Neil and Selene are playing cards. Theresa, Atlanta, Archie and Odie must be somewhere else. Knowing Odie he's probably of with Dionysus working on a cure or something.
I stretch again and yawn. No one pays any attention. I wonder how long it is until lunch. That's when I realize I'm looking hungrily at Jay. I shake my head.
Snap out of it, Herry. You can't eat your friend.
Give me a break. I'm a wolf. I crave meat. It doesn't help that there are two meat filled humans in the same room with me. I couldn't eat Selene even if I was a real wolf. If I was a real wolf I wouldn't care if Jay and Neil were my friends or not.
Shut up, Herry. You are not eating Jay and Neil.
Okay, so I have to use some serious will power just to stop thinking about my friends as lunch. But, they had better come up with something because I'm going to go mad if I don't get something to eat.
(Normal POV)
Odie came into the study. He saw Herry eyeing a sleeping Jay and quickly went over to wake said person up.
Jay moaned as he opened his eyes.
"Hey, Odie." Jay yawned. "Did you find a cure?"
"We're close. But, you should really be careful about where you fall asleep. Herry was looking at you like you were his next meal," Odie explained.
Jay sat up straight.
"Thanks, I'll be more careful next time. So, feeding time?"
Odie nodded. He looked down at the container he was holding.
"I'm almost scared to give him any kind of meat," he confessed.
"Why?" Jay asked.
"What if he still craves meat when we turn him back into a human?" Odie pointed out.
Jay glanced over at Selene. Even for a werewolf, she was a heavy meat-eater. Only difference was, she ate the meat cooked, not raw.
"The longer Herry stays a wolf, the more he'll begin to act like a wolf. I don't know if that dog was a werewolf itself, but whatever was in its claws causes permanent damage," Odie explained.
"In other words: if we don't change Herry back into a human, he's stuck as a wolf?" Jay guessed.
Odie nodded.
"I'm afraid so," he replied.
What do you think?
I'm not so good at the first person point of view stuff. I never use it. But, in this case I made an exception.
Let me know what you think. Reviews help a lot.
