Percy Jackson Wolf Of The Hunt BOOK 1

Chapter 37

Sitting in my chair i glare upon the deserted camp listening tightly to the  sweat toots and whistles of night predators. I sat there for hours and found my mind pooled by unanswered questions.
Why was I in quarral with the Gods? Why couldn't Lupa be here today? Was she some mutt seen as an obstical to my pain from the fates?
Why was this dawning upon me now when id finally rested my loyalty here with the hunt?
Why do I keep reminding myself of the joy the hunt gave me when all I feel is the pain?
Night had drawn in the starless sky above, my stomach churned and moaned for food although I was barley peckish.
Shrugging the urges away I knelt onto the fence post bored.

I wasn't tired.
Nor entertained by the view the camp gave me of unwanted memories.

In fact I was wide awake, me sleeping most of the day, glancing at the door I saw the lock I'd screwed on, honestly I was glad I did it earlier, my hands are beginning to numb and my eyes are constantly aching.
My eyes suddenly dash to a sharp noise, staring at a bin not to far away from me a small squirrel crawled out of it a piece if paper shoved in its mouth, i lick my lips staring at its puny skinny little body,
Just the sound of its small bone cracking within my strong jaws made me drool.

I am so hungry.
I'm not hungry.
I am.
Im not.
I am.
I was.

My mind fogged I didn't have the time to think of clapping my hands for food until im over the fence leaping at the pathetic creature as I heavenly shift into mywolf form and taking a harsh snap as it with my jaws, it obviously squiled in shock and franticly scurried away up a tree, i curse myself growling at the animal and pressed my dirt covered paws against the meek trunk of the tree, daring not to bark I stop and land down to the ground, i try shifting to human but somehow it was blocked
Panicking I try again

And
Again
And again
To no avail

I glance behind me noticing a dark figure of a wolf the size of a horse with red glistening eyes just like the one in my year nightmare in Tartarus, whimpering I back away behind the bin my tail low and submitting to peace with the wolf, I may be strong but Tartarus is a place I wish not visit for a long time
It cocked its head

Don't be scared, im not any threat to you

Reluctantly I poke my nose out from beyond the rusted metal of the tall bin looking at the figure with a sense of security
The voice was definitely female and for a near moment I believed it could have been Lupa.
But i highly doubt that.
I let out a loud defence growl warning her i would attack if need be.

Go away I reply as she walked out to me. I notixe the creature had no fur texture, nothing.
No facile features like whiskers or teeth.
It was like looking at a wet big cat, just a black figure with two dashing red rubbies stuck on as eyes

Now why would I do that? Im here to take all your problems away she soothed each word dripping from her mouth with pure honesty as she waltzed around me, her unusually soft tail brushing against my skin making me melt into her warmth.
It was quite amusing her skin rubbing against mine.
She was like a freaky looking Lupa

Problems? What problems? Im fine
I mumble as she rolls her eyes her complete body around me now like a cocoon
I gulp feeling quite uncomfortable being this close to a female

Female

Female.Wolf

She licked my nose causing me to blush deeply
Uurrggh
I turn to her.

Tks TSK you poor thing, you can't even allow your feelings to roam, ...just relax, and all your problems will disappear she cooed rubbing her head into my chest fur, i glance to her
Her red devil eyes searching for something.
Anything.
But there was nothing
No emotion
Just a smile

I sigh glancing to the squirrel perched in the tree,
Whats your name?

Quana

I nod as she licks my chest

Well?
How about it charming?

I shiver to her tone, it was good to be looked up to
It was like royalty
I bite my lip shrugging

Uhhh sure, what could happen?

And that was when pain flared within my body making me colapse into Quana's gently fur... and then...

Everything went black.

~~~~~~~~~? Time skip~~~~~~~~~
Uurrggghhh my head
Spinning, spinning, spinning
I was spinning.
Belching I hung motionless over something

What happened?

My heavy eyes squint up and around trying to focus on the objects around me

"Heya Kid, you okay?" Someone asks as i rub my eyes turning to a large figure
His skin was light and hair dark however I could barley make out his face but knew his voice

Hephaestos

"Ergghh Heya God,... what do you want?" I ask hearing his soft chuckle

"Well noticing a kid like yourself hanging over a bin half naked at the crack of dawn brings attention, i came to investigate if your alright?" He asks as i struggle out of the bin pulling my unusually heavy body up, luckily my pants were somehow intact and covered most of my lower body, however my shirt was history and lay a few metres away, however my shoes where out of the picture lost from sight, oh and god I couldn't help but imagine the sad state my hair was suffering through.
However back to reality i could barley even stand and when i did i wobbled uneasily and my legs buckled inwards causing me to fall yet again with a yelp,
Hephaestos helps me up, my arm over his neck

"Here, I'll help you." He urges as i tumble again, grumbling I accept now noticeing I'd completly emptied the bin,
I ate all that?!?!
Eewwwwwwwee
I belch slightly causing Hephaestos to stop, suddenly I cough up a ball of fluff and heard him chuckle

"Hairball?"he giggled as i roll my eyes throwing it to the bin,
Where did Quana go?
Shrugging Hephaestos had braught me to the porch of the hnts Cabin that was suprisingly far from where I had awoken, placing me in the chair Hephaestus knocked upon the wodden door, a tired looking Artemis answer whipping her eyes with her night gown on.
And apparently she'd gone insane saying I could come in for the rest of the morning hour, i could have killed Hephaestus, taking advantage over her in this state, i know he didn't see it that way but
But urgh I was angry, Artemis helped me in me now noticing how odd my hands were shaped.
Like squares as though stuck between transformation to wolf and human, she sat me in the corner before hurrying off to bed, staying awake my head banged and throbbed, i felt as though I was about to be sick again but held it in not wanting to wake anyone.
I wince holding in a scream as a shiver crawled down my spine.
My bones felt as though they had been scrapped against a metal plate
On fire!
And were being thrown one by one into a pool of pyranas then hung out to dry
In Other words?

It stung.

what happened last night!?
Did that Quana girl do something or...
Urgh, instead I lay on my side away from the girls trying to sooth the pain swelling up in my stomach, soon my fears came true and my eyes drift to unwelcome sleep.
