Demons, Demigods and Hunters (Percy Jackson/Supernatural)

Chapter 20

Anna

Anna slunk through Camp Jupiter, fiddling with the long chiton she was forced to wear. She would almost rather put on the Roman style toga, at least those don't sweep the floor and everyone wore them. The chiton she wore was specific to women, and it dragged and got in her way constantly. Plus it made her stick out even more as a Greek. Not that it mattered much anymore, but still. She didn't need the attention after the irritation of the Senate meeting. That was a large body of people who now knew she wasn't actually dead. It was irritating when plans don't go the way she planned.

Anna had been forced to return to the Romans when Lycaon had reformed and returned from Tartarus and begun terrorizing the Bay Area. The Hunters of Artemis were on their way, but were also a bit busy with a manticore issue in the backwoods of Louisiana at the moment. The Legion was spread thin dealing with the increase of veil breaches and the resurgence of supernatural vampires. So Anna was brought back from the dead for clean up duty. Meaning she had to go and kill any mortals who were added to the pack, but had yet to make the full transition. A painful and terrible duty. And the angry Praetor gave it to her. Recompense for faking her death.

Anna groaned as she found herself making her way out of the camp on foot. The pack had attacked her on her way into the Roman camp and her bike had been damaged. Meaning she had to leave it in New Rome to be repaired. Leo being on the wrong side of the country, was unavailable, so it would take a few days. She was going to use that time productively killing the so-called king of wolves. Lupa herself had commissioned this quest. Lycaon was an arrogant fool, which was exactly what got him cursed in the first place.

She trudged along the Caldecott Tunnel, making her way into the city. While she had been offered accommodations in the barracks, she was on a quest now. That means leaving the safety of the camp's borders.

The last attack had been in the city, some lawyer. So that's where Anna was headed. As soon as she changed out of the Hades be damned chiton.
