Percy Jackson: Werewolf

Chains

Percy woke hours later at dusk. The first thing he noticed were the chains. They were wrapped around each of his paws and connected to the next thing he noticed, the cage. He shook his head angerly. "Stupid hunters and their stupid 'wolf's bane' arrows!" He snarled softly and looked at his wound. Luckily it was almost healed. The girl that had shot him walked up with a smirk. "Not so strong and fearless now are you werewolf scum!" He snarled at her but she just laughed and waved one of her arrows like a trophy. " These things hold so much power over you." "Megan!" A man called out. She turned around, "yes Mr. W.?" The man walked over and glared at her. He looked like he was in his mid to late twenties. "Why are you talking to the werewolf?" She glanced over at Percy angerly, "just letting him know that he and his kind are pieces of scum." 'Mr. W' nodded in agreement. "Ok, but don't get too close, you don't know what he's capable of." With that, he left. She threw the arrow like a javelin into the cage. Percy jumped out of the cage just in time. Megan laughed and walked after Mr. W. "PERCY?" A voice he knew spoke to him. "ALPHA!" He thought back exitedly. "WHAT HAPPENED? I DIN'T GET MUCH FROM ELVIRA BEFORE SHE PASSED OUT." "WE WERE HUNTING LIKE YOU ASKED, BUT WHEN WE MET UP IN A CLEARING, THIS GROUP OF WEREWOLF HUNTERS STARTED SHOOTING ARROWS AT US. WE ALL SCATTERED, AND THIS HUNTRESS CHASED ME. I RAN INTO SOME BUSHES AND SHIFTED. MY SWORD APPEARED IN MY POCKET, SO I DECIDED TO ATTACK BACK." He paused for a moment. "SHE SHOT ARROWS AT ME, BUT I SLICED THEM OUT OF THE AIR. SHE LAUNCHED MORE AND I TRIED TO SIDESTEP BUT ONE GOT BE IN THE STOMACH, MAKING ME SHIFT UNWILLINGLY AND BECOME DIZZY. I TRIED TO STAND, BUT I THINK I FELL AND KNOCKED MYSLEF UNCONCIOUS." Alpha was silent for a moment. " I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU ARE, BUT WE SENT OUT A TEAM TO TRACK YOU AND THE HUNTERS DOWN." Percy had to smile at that. "THANK YOU ALPHA. ONE QUESTION, DO YOU THINK I SHOULD SHIFT BACK TO HUMAN OR STAY A WOLF?" He thought of his chained paws so alpha could see. "STAY IN WOLF FORM FOR NOW, BUT IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO RUN, SHIFT TO HUMAN SO YOU CAN FIGHT BACK WITHOUT TURNING THEM INTO WERES." He felt alpha slip away from his mind and Percy was alone again. " Hey kelp head!" Percy looked up at the speaker, he had never been so exited to see someone before. "Thalia!" He barked. It came out more like "rawra!" She smiled and twirled a key through her fingers. "Hey Percy, I've come to get you out. No time to explain." Percy nodded and watched her unlock the cage and the chains. He leaped out of the cage and stuck out a paw for Thalia. She grabbed it and they disappeared. Moments later, they appeared at camp. Twenty angry werewolves were slowly cleaning up their destroyed camp. Percy's jaw dropped, he shifted back and walked up to a bleeding Elvira. "W-what happened?" She hugged him and gave Percy a somber welcome back, then came the worst news of all. "Hunters attacked. Alpha is dead."
