The Son of Lupa and Lycaon

Chapter 17

Annabeth's POV:

Malcolm was still asleep when Will came knocking on the door. I jumped up and opened the door "what is it Will?"

"Malcolm forgot to help me search for Percy and there is animal blood all over the edge of the forest. I need help finding him."

I sighed "I will help. Just wait for a few." I rushed grabbing the pair of pants Malcolm set out on the edge of his bed.

Will, blushed a little "Um... Annabeth you do know he will probably be naked tight?"

I rolled my eyes "Come on Will lets go find us a sleeping werewolf." I swiftly walked to the forest with Will close behind.

"Let's split up Annabeth and cover more ground since the Aphrodite campers are still asleep. They'd kill for an opportunity to see him."

I laughed "I completely agree with you Will. So I will go this way." I held my knife close to me as I stepped over fallen branches and followed the large paw prints. I held my breath as the smell of something that is dead. I carefully made my way between the trees, keeping my footsteps silent.

I held my breath as the smell of something that is dead. I carefully made my way between the trees, keeping my footsteps silent. Sighing in relief when Percy's body came into view. I squeaked and covered my eyes as I laid the pants over his lower extremities.

I leaned down and poked Percy's face "Percy! Please wake up!" I shook his shoulder. He growled "Percy! Don't you dare growl at me!"

His eyes shot open and he sat up on his knees "Percy! Pants!" I quickly covered my eyes.

"Sorry." His voice sounded groggy. "You can look now. Gods humans are so weird with skin showing. It's only a-"

I slapped him as hard as I could "don't finish your sentence. Besides, you drool in your sleep." A growl erupted from his throat.

"You have guts Ms. Chase you slapped and tried to stab a werewolf. I just woke up from an intoxicating blood lust and you have the nerve to slap me?" Her face got up in my face

I got up into his face and we were nose to nose "Oh I did Jackson and I will gladly use my knife again but this time I won't miss the vitals."

He glowered down "oh, please you wouldn't dare. I could easily crush your skull in with my bare hands."

"Oh, please go run around in the woods and cool off." I rolled my eyes as he breathed in deeply.

He suddenly took a deep breath and took a step back. He scratched the back of his neck, muscles flexing "sorry, please forgive me."

I blushed as I quickly looked away "it's fine seaweed brain. You can't help it since it's right after a full moon."

We started walking back to the cabins but I stopped "I have to find Will."

He sniffed the air "He is this way want to hop on?" He shifted forms.

His nose nudged my hand "don't let me fall."

"I promise. Climb on."

I swung my leg over his back and clutched his soft fur. "Alright, I am ready." His ears flickered back and forth and he took off running. I smiled as the wind pushed my hair back. His paws flung dirt as he pushed against the earth.

"This is amazing! You get to run like this whenever you want?"

"It's not always fun and games. Will is close."

He started to slow when a figure grew closer. He started barking and growling as he jumped in front of Will.

Will jumped several feet off the ground "gods! I almost peed my pants!." I jumped down from Percy's back giggling as he shifted. He joined me in the laughing fit.

"Oh, Will you should've seen your face!"

I pulled Percy's arm in the direction out of the forest. "Where do you think you're taking me wisegirl?"

Rolling my eyes, "come one let's go get breakfast. Will you coming?"

He grumbled, "yeah, geez you guys are jerks." We continued laughing as we made it to the pavilion.

We parted ways and sat at our designated tables. I watched along with everyone else in disgust as Percy ate almost raw meat that dripped with blood. He looked up "what?"

I snorted and looked back at my brothers and sisters "he doesn't get it." Other tables were whispering.

"I can hear that!" He glared at the Hermes table and stood, taking his food with him towards the edge of the forest. He sat with his back leaning on the trunk. A small tree nymph poked her head out and said something that made him laugh.

Amy leaned over "do you think he will lose control?"

I crossed my arms "no he seems in control." We all turned to see him talking to the tree nymph and three others joining him. "See even the nature spirits trust him."

Amy scoffed "Annabeth that's because werewolves are close with the nature spirits."

I frowned "Actually I know for a fact that is incorrect and nature spirits are usually afraid of werewolves." Amy leant back and kept quiet for the rest of breakfast.

Percy's POV:

I sighed in frustration as the comments filled my ears. I smiled warmly at the tree nymphs talking to me.

"So you healed a nymphs tree?"

"Yeah, I did."

The tree nymph swooned "wow!"

I wiped the blood from my lips "I am sorry I am going to go for a swim." I stood and made my way to the beach.

I sunk down in the waters. My hair waved in the current and I laid down on the sand that rested on the bottom of the sea. I swirled my finger creating a small water tornado and different shapes with my powers. The water calmed my nerves and the need to shift went away.

A pebble plopped in the water with the washed out scent of strawberry and lemons. I swam to the surface and saw Annabeth frowning at the water.

"Hey, wisegirl! What's up?" I swam up to shore.

"you're asking me? What's wrong with you?"

A frown stretched across my face "I could hear every one of them Annabeth. I can hear them whenever they speak and it was all about me. They are still scared of me. What can I do to make them less afraid of me?"

Her face turned thoughtful "you just have to show them that you won't hurt them. But, I can't change their opinion right away and neither can you. Just give them a little more time okay?"

I nodded my head "alright, thanks, Annabeth."

"No problem Percy." We sat and watched the waves in perfect silence before we had to go do camp activities.
