Felicity

Camp halfblood was crossing the demigod's mind more and more frequently. Running from her problems wasn't a good idea, but it was starting to look like the better option. Paul could get used to having her around, or at least that was her hope. He wouldn't have to know if she died, or how she died. He would never be the one to find her after an attack. And school. Felicity could avoid returning to school amongst a group of people that didn't understand. That would mock. That would find amusement in the areas she struggled in. That would never know the events that she had been through.

Felicity envied the mortals for their complete ignorance.

A thought crossed her mind at that point. Her family here, they weren't exactly mortal. But even though they considered themselves werewolves they were nothing like the monsters that she had faced before. The question remained, were they able to see through the mist?

That was a concern that was also rapidly growing in the demigods mind. A concern that could, potentially, escalate into an awkward explanation if monsters tracked her down. Another thing on the pro's list of going back to camp.

It was raining again. The sound of the rain splattering against the window of her room was starting to drive her insane. The daughter of Athena was trying to focus on the book of the development of Architecture around the globe. Architecture was something, that similarly for many of Felicity's siblings, intrigued her. Though it wasn't the field that she wanted to move into if she were being honest.

Honestly, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do. Since she had found out what she was, she hadn't given much thought to her future. Perhaps teaching, she'd find that interesting. Or maybe she'd stay at camp, train the halfbloods of the future.

Groaning in annoyance she ran a hand through the blonde curls. Tempted to throw the book across the room, she settled for growling as she placed it on the desk of the room, practically storming down the stairs. Felicity was fully aware that Sam and Emily were downstairs, but she hadn't actually seen either of them as she stormed out of the house. The demigod began running before she even thought about what she was doing. She hadn't gone on her morning run for the last 4 days and being cooped inside was driving the ADHD over the edge. So in that moment, she didn't care as the rain pelted down against her, only feeling the tension and worries evaporate as she ran.

As usual, she had no clue how long she had been running for, she'd run from the house to the beach and had been following it until she finally felt her body tire. The excess, stored up energy, slowly being let off.

By that point she was also panting, her figure slightly hunched as her hair was matted to her head, clothes sticking to her uncomfortably as well as the rain just continued to beat down. Felicity briefly wondered if any of the wolves were out here on patrol, or if any of them had followed her to ensure her safety.

She knew that they were protecting her, it came under the whole imprint thing apparently.

Aware of how tired she was she sat herself down on a log, looking out at the sea. It once again had that relaxing effect that it always seemed to have since her childhood. It didn't however make decisions for her, nor did it tell her the best option. Either of those would've been welcome right about now.

The demigod's thoughts also turned to Paul at that moment. 'All you can do is love them as much as you can and hope for the best, Fliss. Love them for as long as you can"' seemed to be echoing in her mind as she turned, beginning to jog back in the direction of home. Perhaps… perhaps there was an aspect to this imprint that could actually be good. But then there was the issue of her introducing her own world to them.

Felicity knew that would prove to be interesting. But now she had more pressing concerns. Like getting into dry clothes and warming up. By the time that she actually had managed to return home, she was shivering, and ended up quietly knocking on the door, knowing that it would be heard. She was slightly surprised when it was Paul that answered the door, and smiled sheepishly at the boy who seemed frozen in place.

"Can I have a towel?" she broke the silence, watching as he snapped back into reality, running a hand through his dark hair as he looked away.

"Uh… yeah… sure I'll ask Emily where they are," the words came out in a tumble, the werewolf running off to somewhere in the house. Felicity's body kept shivering as she waited.

"What on earth were you thinking?" she heard Emily cry, holding towels in her hands as she ran to the demigod. The demigod shrugged, looking at the ground.

"Guess I wasn't," she mumbled, as the woman fussed over her. She managed to wander in once she was wrapped almost head to toe in towels. She was struggling to walk, her teeth chattering as she kept moving upstairs.

With a deep breath the demigod summoned all of her courage, walking downstairs to the dining room filled with werewolves. Two seats were empty, one next to Paul and one practically on the other side of the table. Her grey eyes quickly evaluating the situation, she knew that they had left both especially for her. Quietly she moved over, smiling at everyone as she took the seat next to Paul.

She didn't miss the shocked look on his face. Nor how his expression brightened, and the looks other pack members exchanged. Still, she pretended she didn't notice. Though inside, she couldn't help but feeling drawn to the wolf that had imprinted on her. Being this close to him made her relax again for the first time since she found out what they were. This was her chance at happiness.

Now she could only hope that she wouldn't regret this. That somehow she would manage staying alive until old age, to keep him happy as well.

First though, she had to figure out how to explain to them that she wasn't entirely human either.

When Felicity had decided to tell the pack exactly what she was, and thus explain to Paul why she had been scared by the imprint, she had thought that it would be a strange and rather terrifying conversation. She didn't expect them to find out exactly like this though.

It had started out as another normal day. Having acknowledged Paul at dinner last night, he had split off from the group and ended up talking to her for a while alone. It was a false sense of privacy, something that they both knew.

The conversation had been awkward yesterday, with Felicity worried about the inevitable talk they would have about what she was. This morning however she was able to talk to Paul with new ease and confidence at breakfast. He'd had the latest patrol, and as such crashed in the living room straight after breakfast.

"Do you mind if I come with you?" Emily asked when Felicity was about to go for her run.

"Sure, I'll slow down to make sure you can keep up," the demigod teased, though she was also serious about that. Mentally she also thought they'd go on a shorter route, not wanting to throw her friend in the deep end immediately. If she joined more often perhaps they'd be able to build up the mortal's stamina more.

For some reason the moment that they left, Felicity was on high alert. More so than she normally was when she was going for a run. Normally she only wore the clothes that made it convenient, but today just before leaving she had run and grabbed her shield. It was in it's bracelet form, lying on the coffee table in a way that didn't draw any attention.

The first mile along the beach was calm, Felicity had slowed her pace to a light jog so that Emily could keep up with her. The demigod had to admit her friend was doing quite well given the fact that she didn't normally do something like this. It actually made the blonde happy not to be running by herself. It was definitely a lot more fun with other people.

They'd rested about half way, where Felicity decided they'd stop and turn back for home. It was the place that the pack had come often for cliff diving, and the perfect place to sit down and have a quick break. Emily had quite happily taken up the offer to sit down, taking large gulps of water from the bottle she'd brought with her. Felicity on the other hand just watched her, a small smile playing across her lips.

That's where it all went downhill.

Looking over Emily's shoulder, Felicity tensed when she saw a person wearing what was undoubtedly Greek armour. In Felicity's experience, armour was never a good sign.

"Emily," she said, not daring to remove her eyes from the person that was headed in their direction. The person was still too far away for Felicity to guess who it was. What she did know what that they were bigger than she was, that much she could tell.

"Yes?" Emily asked, looking up at the blonde in confusion to the sudden change in attitude.

"You need to leave," Felicity had said seriously. She was aware that Emily had never seen her like this before, serious and commanding. It was something that was normally only displayed at camp, during capture the flag or more seriously during the battles. It was something common for the children of Athena.

"What do you mean?" Emily asked as she turned, looking towards the direction that Felicity was looking in. Hearing the gasp, Felicity knew that her fears were confirmed. Emily was clear sighted, and no doubt the entire pack would be as well. All that she knew was she needed to get her brother's imprint out of there as quickly as she could. She couldn't be the reason why her brother had to go through pain, especially not because that would mean two members of the pack would go through losing their imprints. And it would be all her fault.

"Run home, and don't stop until you get there, tell the boys to stay on alert," she ordered, Emily looking at her like a deer caught in headlights. She was obviously in shock over the sight, and probably also the way that Felicity had responded. Felicity knew that it was fairly obvious from her reaction that this wasn't something completely foreign to her.

Emily looked torn between listening to the command the younger girl gave her, and refusal to leave her alone. Grinding her teeth she hit the bracelet on her wrist, watching as it expanded into the shield. She was wishing that she had brought her sword along as well now, but at least she had something.

"Go," she ordered again more harshly, taking a defensive position between Emily and the demigod that was approaching. It was at that point that she finally managed to recognise the demigod, and her eyes widened. "What in Zeus' name?"

Emily had scrambled away by this point, sprinting in the direction of her home. Felicity didn't watch her for long, only ensuring that she was between Emily and the demigod at all points. Once Emily had disappeared she allowed herself to relax slightly. That was one less concern out of the way.

"Not expectin' to see me again, were ya?" the texan drawled, looking at her mockingly.

"You died," Felicity commented bluntly.

"That's a nice way to put it, consinderin' you killed me," Jack answered, drawing his sword.

"And now you're going to kill me in revenge?" the blonde mocked, watching as the unclaimed boy moved closer to her. At that moment a howl echoed from the woods, and somehow she knew that there were some of the other wolves watching. She knew they just called the others. That meant her brother was coming.

She definitely should've tried to have a proper conversation about what she was.

"Because that was difficult for you to work out Daughter of Athena," the other demigod mocked as he continued to move closer. Felicity in return shifted herself backward, armed only with a shield to protect herself. "But ya at home now aren't you? Maybe I'll wait and let your family watch, I'm guessing y'all haven't had a conversation 'bout what you've done."

Felicity narrowed her eyes at the boy in question. "I've killed you before, and I'm not afraid of killing you again to protect my family," she snarled in response, eyes narrowing more as Jack started laughing in response. In her mind, she figured that death had really screwed with his brain.

Without dignifying her comment with a response, he swung his sword. She blocked the swing with her shield, but the force of the blow caused her to stumble backwards. Trying to catch him off guard, she quickly launched herself at the other demigod, swinging her shield into him. Blocking with his own shield, it once again meant that she was the one that stumbled backwards. This strategy definitely wasn't working for her.

Jack was stronger than she was, and had fast enough reflexes to block any of Fliss' attempts at attacking him.

Knowing that what she was about to do could go terribly wrong, the daughter of Athena cringed. Tapping the inside of her shield, she watched it minimise into a bracelet again. Standing up straight, her grey eyes evaluating him.

"Givin' up?" the boy in question mocked. The blonde didn't give an answer, keeping her body entirely still as she watched him approach. His sword was pressed to her throat quickly, and her thoughts focussed on slowing her breathing to keep her heart rate low. To prevent her body from trembling.

Vaguely her mind processed the appearance of the tall, shirtless werewolves that were approaching. Her mind was pulled to attention when the sword was removed from her throat as he swung it at her, she immediately rolled out of the way, putting herself behind the boy in question. A quick kick behind his knee, the blonde was able to catch him off balance and knocked him to the ground.

It was immediately followed by a quick rounded kick to the head that sent the boy face first to the ground, his sword being knocked out of his hand as he tried to catch himself. In that same moment the daughter of Athena held her hand behind her back in a sign to tell the wolf pack not to get involved. That she had everything under control.

She wasn't sure if they were going to listen or not. Placing her shoe on the boys back to make him aware that she was the one in control, she looked down at him.

"How are you alive?" she asked harshly, not caring if the wolf pack heard anymore. She was anyway going to have to have a long conversation with her family.

"The doors of death are open darlin'," the boy laughed. "I just walked straight out of hell, just like all the other monsters and many of the people you knew that didn't find a happy afterlife."

The shock caused her foot to no longer press down as hard. In that moment, the son of Hermes moved, pushing her back onto her ass as he got to his feet. He threw the shield at her, which she dodged, and from the sounds of it, it didn't hit anyone.

The son of Hermes had launched himself at Felicity, throwing a punch at her face. She easily moved out of the way, keeping her mind focussed on the fight. Her leg swung once again to try to knock him back to the ground, but this time he saw it coming. Grabbing the blonde demigod, the texan threw her backwards across the rock. She rolled, a groan coming from her lips.

"Looks like your family is here to watch darlin', took 'em long enough don't ya think?" she heard his voice, and without thinking her eyes moved to the werewolves. Paul was approaching, trembling in anger while others look on in surprise. Completely shocked at the turn of events. Sam in response seemed to be trying to calm Paul down, seeming to listen to Felicity's sign of not getting involved.

Her head snapped back to Jack, who was approaching the sword at the edge of the cliff. Her eyes closed for a moment.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, knowing that they'd hear it.

There was only one thing she could do to win this.

If she knocked him off the cliff, the armour he was wearing would drag him down. He would drown. Without thinking about the other consequences of the plan, she launched herself to her feet without looking at the werewolves behind her. Felicity launched herself at him, tackling him. Both of them were sent tumbling over the edge of the cliff.
