Third POV

It has been a few months since Zoe and Cole came to join us. During that time we stayed at Ohanapecosh. The girls accepted him within the first couple of weeks. Thalia wanted to step down from being lieutenant but Zoe didn't want it saying it was time for a new lieutenant. They argued for hours and it was about to get physical when Cole stepped up and said in a quiet voice, "Why don't you both be lieutenants?" They both stopped fighting at that and agreed.

Another way he earned their respect of everyone was a great feat. He took a rabid bear that was going to get Hannah and protected her from it, and held it off.


(Flashback)

It started out like a normal afternoon. Cole had taken to watching the perimeter along with the wolves who had accepted him right away. Hannah had wandered off a little ways, hunting a deer. Artemis was teaching Arwen archery while Percy and Koda the Inuit were playing. Percy had changed into a wolf to be able to fight him. All of a sudden we heard a growl followed by a scream and a howl of pain. Artemis and Percy ran to where the noise was and came to an open area where Cole was getting up from being thrown into a tree. He got up and went over to Hannah who was on the ground with her leg in a weird direction. He held him off and Percy yelled to Cole, while Artemis drew an arrow and when Cole jumped away, Artemis released the arrow which struck the bear in the throat.

Artemis ran to Hannah as Cole laid down beside her. He then said to Artemis, "She broke her leg. Put her on my back and I will carry her to the camp." Artemis was going to protest, but Percy spoke in her mind, " Artemis, I know you won't approve but he cares for her, more than a sister and wants to protect her." She looked at Percy in surprise and nodded. "Ok, Cole. Percy, help me get her on him please." Artemis finally said. Once we got her settled we carefully walked back. Artemis and Percy let Cole walk ahead and just watched as Cole made it as smooth a ride as possible.

Percy POV

We made it to camp and went straight to the medic tent. As soon as we got to the entrance, Cole crouched and allowed us to take her off. He then changed back to a human and grabbed her from my arms and carried her in. "Thank you Cole." Hannah said before falling unconscious her arms around his neck.

Zoe came and saw that and raised her eyebrow, but she was smiling too. Artemis and I followed Cole in to see he was already taking care of Hannah. He used some healing power Helios taught him and she finally fell into a peaceful sleep her breathing even. He then pulled a chair next to the bed and sat in it to watch over her.

Artemis, Zoe, and I quietly left to allow Hannah to sleep in peace.

"Zoe I think your brother has a crush." I said to her smiling.

"Well of all the people he had to choose, he chose a hunter. That isn't going to end well for him." Zoe said sadly.

What Artemis said next shocked us both. "Well I think if she wants, I will release her from her vow and allow her to grow until she is old enough to look like they should be together which would only be a year or two, if she would like."

"Thank you My Lady." Zoe said eyes shining. "I am only allowing this because I know he is just like Percy and won't hurt her." she said looking at me. I kissed her and said, "You're too sweet Arty. Let's go find Arwen now."

We walked away hand in hand to the archery range. We saw Arwen and Thalia shooting side by side. Thalia was shooting a lot faster, but they were both as accurate as the other. We watched them until Thalia had shot five hundred and Arwen had shot one hundred arrows. I was impressed with Arwen because she was almost nine years old. "Nice shooting Arwen. You're better than me." I said which was true. I had gotten a little better and could hit the target, and occasionally get a bulls eye but rarely.

Koda, Arwen's Inuit dog, barked and pranced around proudly. We all laughed at him. He had grown into a big dog in only a few months. He was one of the largest besides one or two, and of course Cole and I. Koda wanted to play so I sighed and transformed into a wolf. We wrestled for a while with Arwen and Thalia cheering on Koda, and Artemis cheering for me. I won like usual and changed back to a human.

"Let's go check on Hannah." I said. "Girls go get ready for dinner." Artemis said while we walked away holding hands. We stopped outside the tent and Artemis said, "If she's awake, I will tell her my offer, and let her decide." I nodded and we walked in. the first thing we noticed was Hannah was awake. The second thing was that her and Cole were holding hands and laughing. The stopped when they caught sight of us, and let go of each others hands.

"Well?" I said grinning to break the silence.

"My Lady, I am sorry but I will have to break my vow. I like Cole and he likes me so I have to leave since I can't stay in the Hunt if I love someone." she said and once again Cole grabbed her hand and they looked at each other.

Artemis and I laughed which I guess shocked them both, as I said, "We knew you would say that."

"You did? But Percy, she can't be a part of the hunt if she loves me and I can't live without her." Cole said looking me straight in the face.

"Well yes we knew you liked each other so I will make an exception for you if you want." Artemis said. "I will allow you to stay in the hunt, and you can still date each other. And Hannah if you want I will allow you to age until you are the same age as Cole so it won't look as weird for people to see you together." She finished smiling as Hannah and Cole just stared first at me, then Artemis, and finally each other before grinning happily.

Hannah said, "I accept My Lady, thank you, thank you." I was happy to see my little sister and brother happy together.

"So Cole do you want to tell your sister and Hannah all the sisters?" I asked them.

They looked at each other before Cole spoke, "Yes we will tell them after dinner tonight."

Artemis and I grinned at them and congratulated them before leaving them alone for a little while.

I went to take a shower as I was all sweaty and dirty from playing with Koda. I finished my shower and fifteen minutes later came out. Almost everyone except Zoe, Hannah, Cole, Artemis and I were at the table. Zoe came at the same time as me and Artemis and I asked Zoe if I could sit next to her. She was confused until she saw Hannah and Cole walking hand in hand to the table. Her eyes widened then she grinned and said, "Ok."

"Don't say anything yet please they want to tell everyone after dinner." I told her. She nodded and sat down. When they sat down next to each other everyone looked curiously but then ignored them and waited for dinner to appear. I made a play of steak and potatoes appear in front of everyone as that was the favorite.

After everyone finished Hannah looked at Artemis and nodded. "Everyone Hannah has something to say to everyone." Artemis said and it was quiet. Hannah stood and so did Cole. She said while grabbing Cole's hand, and said, "I liked Cole and he likes me and we are dating." some of the girls were about to say something but Hannah continued and said, "I talked to Artemis and she made an exception for us." the girls looked from Hannah and Cole to Artemis who was smiling and nodding her support.

"But My Lady, I mean no offence to either of them but he will break her heart like every other male." Phoebe said.

"No I won't I swear on the river Styx and Lord Chaos that I won't break her heart if I can help it which I can." Cole stated looking Hannah in the eyes.

As soon as he finished everyone gasped as he became shrouded in darkness then a voice belonging to Chaos spoke and said, "I will allow you to live because of who you are and I know you are just like Percy. To help you I will bless you as well." The darkness then vanished around Cole and he looked taller, and had more muscle, and looked like he was sixteen instead of fifteen. In addition he had brownish wings which matched his fur when he was a wolf.

"Now we have two angels" Thalia whispered loudly. Everyone laughed and Hannah three her arms around him.

"Well that looks weird, my baby brother is going out with someone who looks like they are fourteen." Zoe said shaking her head in laughter. "Chaos can you age her if she wants to?" I asked him in my head. "Yes if she wants I will have her look the same age as him." I asked Hannah in my head and she thought about it before talking to Cole. He looked at my gratefully before nodding. She then became shrouded in darkness just like Cole had, and when it faded she looked close to sixteen. Everyone was surprised but understood as they saw the way Hannah and Cole looked at each other.

"Well, welcome to the family brother." Kendra said. She hugged him, as did the rest of the Hunters. I was proud of my sisters.

(End of Flashback)


Time skip 1 year later

We were on our way to Camp Half-Blood. We had left a few days ago and were now in the Rockies. It was cold and snowing as we were walking in three feet of snow. Or rather Cole and I were walking in three feet while the Hunters were able to walk above it since they were lighter.

We struggled until I had an idea. I used my ability to harden the snow so me could walk across it easier. I was carrying Arwen up front with Artemis while Hannah and Cole brought up the back.

I wasn't paying attention so much to our surroundings when all of a sudden we heard laughter and howls. I looked up to see monsters all around us. Cole transformed to a wolf as Lycaon appeared and said, "Well, well, well what you survived son of Atlas I'm surprised, but you will die soon." He motioned for the monsters to attack and as we got into a circle to defend ourselves, a sword came at Lycaon hitting him on the shoulder. He howled in pain and pulled it out and yelled, "Attack!"

"No stop now." A voice spoke. At that the hunters stopped and two boys appeared. They started walking toward us and as they got closer I noticed one was Nico but the other one had a hood on but I knew who it was. Andrew took his hood off and the monsters bowed except for Lycaon, who ran away in fear and anger. "Begone all of you." Andrew spoke in a commanding voice. They rose as one and left.

"Andrew, perfect timing." I said sighing in relief. (Pun get it?) I didn't want any of my sisters to be hurt.

"Yes I sensed a lot of monsters gathering near here, and went to Nico. Together we came here." Andrew spoke bowing to Artemis. "My Lady I am sorry for disturbing your hunt but this was the only way without shedding blood and losing some of your Hunters."

"It's alright and thank you for looking out for my sisters, but who exactly are you?" Artemis asked. "Before you tell her Andrew, Artemis don't judge him too quickly. He saved both me and Nico from two Titans."

"Of course Percy." she said a little confused.

"My name is Andrew Kagetora son of Kronos and descendant of Izanami." He said bowing again. "I was born when my father was peaceful and didn't want to kill everyone. Back before Zeus killed him."

Artemis recoiled in fear at first, but then relaxed when I put my arm around her.

"Let me introduce you to my sisters." I said to which Nico raised his eyebrow at me but didn't say anything. "This is my little sister Arwen daughter of Poseidon, this is Kendra daughter of Apollo…" I went on one after the other, introducing them to Andrew and Nico. Finally I got to Hannah, Cole, and Zoe. "This is Hannah and her boyfriend, Cole Nightshade, son of Atlas." Nico stared in shock at the wolf who transformed into a human and stuck his hand out. "Later Nico," I spoke before he could say anything, "There is one more person. This is Zoe Nightshade…"

Andrew bowed before her and said before I could finish, "Nice to see you again Miss Nightshade."

"Same to you Andrew." Zoe replied before bowing back. All of us were surprised that they knew each other.

"Zoe, how do you know him?" Artemis asked curious.

"I met him while I was with Ouranos. He came to me while Orion was trying to flirt with me, and beat him to a bloody pulp." She said laughing at the memory.

"Well it seems I owe you Andrew for protecting my sister." Artemis said with respect in her voice. "It was nothing Lady Artemis. I don't like him, and neither does anyone else up there." he said embarrassed.

"Where are you headed?" Nico asked.

"We are headed to Camp Half-Blood to stay awhile since its been a long time since we went there." I replied.

"Is it ok if we stay with you guys? We would go there by ourselves, but they still haven't really accepted me and they wouldn't accept Andrew if they found out who his dad was." Nico said.

"Don't worry about that. I will talk to father and he will allow you to be accepted there if you would like." Artemis replied. "You will have to stay in Percy's tent with him and Cole."

"Thank you Lady Artemis." Andrew said bowing. "Just call me Artemis please." she said before walking on.

We got to the lower mountains and found a cave of sorts there. Tianna and me used our powers to freeze the snow above us to not melt and cover the entrance more to make the cave bigger. When we finished setting up camp we sat down to eat. Nico and Andrew sat at a smaller table a little ways away. I made my way to Artemis' side and sat down next to her after kissing her on the cheek.

I looked at Arwen and asked her, "Hey princess, what do you want to eat tonight?" She thought for a second then turned to Andrew and asked, "Andrew, what do you want to eat?"

I smiled proud that she was such a caring person, as Andrew looked startled at being asked before he said, "Lasagna?"

I laughed remembering when we first met and I showed them my powers. A plate of lasagna, garlic bread, and corn appeared and everyone ate with gusto. When we all finished I made a fire and we all had banana boats. (Banana boats are amazing you should definitely try it. First you take the banana and cut a "V" into it not too deep though then you cut a line across the top where the stem is and peel it back. You take out the cut banana and then stuff mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butter scotch chips, and cover it back up with the flap of peel. After that you wrap it up in foil and stick it in the fire. You let it cook for a while and then take it out and let it cool and eat it with a spoon. Super delicious but a little messy.) I sat with Nico and Andrew on one side, and Artemis on the other, and Arwen on my lap. We ate and told jokes and stories until everyone was tired. I picked up Arwen and went to her bed with Koda behind us and laid her down. I kissed her goodnight and walked out.

I then showed Nico and Andrew to my tent and said, "You take my bed Andrew. I'll sleep outside on watch. Oh and Artemis and I are dating." I said grinning. "What? No way." Nico said. I told them how it happened and they congratulated me. Cole came in and said, "Nico you can take my bed I will be by the fire keeping watch." I looked at him and we grinned both thinking of the same idea.

We left them and transformed into wolves and laid down by the fire. Artemis came and joined me as we stared at the stars and the wolves keeping watch. We heard a contented sigh and looked to see Hannah laying against Cole's side. They fell asleep that way which was cute. I transformed back to a human and eventually Artemis and I fell asleep with her on my chest.

We woke up to laughter. I opened my eyes to see all the girls laughing at the sight of us. We blushed and got up quickly. "What do you want for breakfast?" I asked to distract them. "Pancakes." Came the quick reply. Of course, they love the pancakes. I made stacks of blue pancakes appear in front of everyone. They all ate quickly and we went on our way again to camp.

We traveled two more nights before we finally reached sigh of camp. We arrived around noon. I decided I was going to have some fun with this tonight. I told everyone not to reveal who Cole, Andrew, or me were until I said it was ok. They all agreed to that.
