PJO IS NOT MINE!
Annabeth POV
I was doing patrol in front of our cave; we had moved the rebellion here almost a year ago, when I heard fighting. Quickly, I raced toward the sound. There were a good 50 hellhounds ad 20 dracaena fighting a little boy, when 10 adults and 2 teenagers burst out of the woods and attacked.
After a few minutes, all the monsters had disintegrated into gold dust, and the odd group was walking towards me. I pulled out my knife and stepped onto the road. The group stopped in their tracks, and everyone pulled out a weapon, except for the boy.
I took a closer look at the boy. He had mud in his hair and was covered in scars; one went across his face just like Wolf's. He was walking funny, but showed no signs of pain, so I figured, maybe he was a satyr.
"Who are you?" I asked. The boy's eyes were cold and ruthless. "First you." He said. I shivered under his piercing gaze, but with as much confidence as I could muster, said "Annabeth Chase, leader of the rebels."
The boy studied me for a minute and said "She told the truth." This caused a woman to take out a wanted poster and scribble something on the back. "I'm Wolf." The boy said, making my eyes bug out. "B-but Wolf was captured and taken to Tartarus." I stuttered. The boy nodded his head. "It took me a while, but my plan worked." He admitted.
"What was your plan?" I asked. "Later, I don't want to repeat myself." He answered. "Where have you been? Who are all these people?" I questioned. "Later. Show us to the rebellion." He commanded. So I turned towards Mount Othrys and led the way.
Dragon POV
We were walking behind Annabeth and Wolf, when Wolf stopped. He reached into a bush next to us before we could even realize what he was doing, and pulled out a screaming boy by his neck. "Travis, it's not smart to try to spy on Wolf." Annabeth scolded, and Wolf dropped him into the dirt with a thump.
"Wait, where's Connor?" I asked. Bad idea. Annabeth bowed her head, and Travis looked like he was about to cry. "H-he was k-killed on Th-the trip." Travis mourned. "I'm sorry for the loss of your family." Hera comforted.
"We need to go before sunrise." Wolf said, breaking the silence. "You're right."
Annabeth agreed.
She led us to the top of a mountain. There was a line of these in front of a black cliff. We walked between the trees and found a cave full of demigod rebels.
"Now, who are the others? And where have you been all this time?" Annabeth practically screamed. Wolf sighed and said, "I left and got caught on purpose, so I could be imprisoned with the gods in Tartarus." Which made everyone, but me and Heartless, gasp, even the gods. "Kronos upgraded my tortures, so it took me almost a year before I was finally strong enough to escape. After I rescued the gods, we came here."
Everyone was staring at Wolf with different expressions from shock, to pity, to terror, to gratefulness, but Annabeth's was the worst. She showed true horror in her eyes at Wolf's explanation. "You got captured and sent to Tartarus just to rescue us? That's so sweet." Hera cooed.
"US? Who are you?" a boy…Nemo, N-N-NICO! Nico asked. "Honey, it's me, Hera." Hera said gently. "But, you can't be Hera, you're too nice." He denied. "Prison taught me many things, sweetie. It taught US many things." She replied.
"We're gonna have to introduce ourselves. So I'm Hermes." Hermes sighed. "Apollo, Artemis, Hera Ares, Athena." They all announced. "Dionysus" which made every head snap in his direction. "What happened to him?" Nico whispered to me. "He's always moody." I replied with a shrug.
"Aphrodite and Hephaestus." The two said, adding a kiss, making everyone's eyes bug our even more. "And Poseidon." Poseidon said. Everyone stared at his still skinny body with pity or disbelief.
"W-w-wait. Since when was Aphrodite buff or Hephaestus hot? And where's his metal leg?" one girl asked. "Since when they started traveling with Wolf." I laughed.
"Speaking of Wolf, why is he walking funny?" Thalia asked. Wolf rolled his eyes, but replied "Because I broke my legs." Annabeth's eyes bugged out again for the…I lost track…time. "Then how are you still standing?" she questioned. "I'm used to it" was all he answered.
"How many bones are broken? You look crooked." Nico stated. Apollo looked at Wolf then turned back to Nico. "Everything but his spine and skull."
"Can't you heal him, being the god of medicine?" I asked. "I can only speed up the healing process. His body won't heal unless he gets some SLEEP." Apollo reminded. "When was the last time he slept?" Annabeth questioned. I thought for a second. "9 days ago, he only got, like, 3 hours." I replied.
We all looked at Wolf. "Fine." He sighed. "Hey, do you still sleep in trees?" Nico joked. "Yes. Sleeping in a prison for 6 years then suddenly sleeping somewhere safe doesn't work." Wolf answered and walked away.
