Percy Jackson: The Wolf Curse

Chapter 18: More Friends?

[Percy's POV:]

Before I even knew it I was protectively coiled around the adorable creature that was medusa daughter. She was just so dam cute! My wolf instincts were going absolutely crazy and the feel was so familiar it scared me. Medusa hadn't responded to my actions yet, probably still processing what had just happened in the last second. The child was surprisingly ok about this, enjoying herself even, a giggle on her face and all. I noticed her small frame, she reminded me of Rachel only with green hair and 3 years in age... Well there's another name added to the list of people I knew, but don't know, at least I know what she kinda looks like this sweet adorable child. Dam I am like a child with a new puppy.. I just can't name her else I'll get attached, wait she probably already has one phew. The next minute was filled with me playing with her, completely ignoring that the outside world existed.

"Damian, would you care to return my child?" She didn't seem angry, more humoured than anything.

"Ah, sorry wolf instincts kinda took over there, what's this adorable child's name?" I snapped out of my instinct state and released the child back to her mother... I better be careful not to ever say that, not about to get sent to wolf prison...

"Her name is Fidi, my precious little snakelet, the one thing in this world that I love with all my heart" hearing medusa claim to love something was odd to me, but it shouldn't have been she did fall for Poseidon once after all. My brain also autotranslated her name to snake, the name was a little bit direct, but still had it's cute charm.

"Ah means Snake doesn't it? I like it" and gave the best wolfish grin I could.

"Ah so you speak Greek? I thought you were roman" oh shoot.

"Oh err I just picked up a few words while reading some Greek dialects" I hope she wouldn't ask too much since I didn't want Reyna becoming suspicious during this painfully long drive.

[In The Bathroom:][Reyna POV:]

After having recomposed myself in the bathroom, I decided to take the rear exit and head to the car for a short while. I don't trust medusa at all, but what Dami said is true, continuing to judge monsters for being monsters is no better than monsters that kill us demigods for simply being demigods, but It infuriates me. They attacked us first! I understand his words and reasonings and that's what makes me so mad, I can no longer justify myself. All our battles and conquest no longer feel as righteous, we no longer really hold the moral high grounds, did we ever? Most monsters fight us for actions caused by heroes of the past or in revenge for family. It was a big massive vicious cycle of hate. I had to clear my head, maybe check on Acanthis while I'm at it. That lazy bird was probably sleeping on the dashboard still.

"How long do we hide in here?? I really need to go pee" my senses heightened, the sound came from our car. A trap? Sounds like a Medusa style plan alright.

"Shhh, I think they're inside now. We can sneak to the forest as soon as their eyes are averted!" ok maybe not with medusa, but then who? Please don't make this another spy situation...

"Nevermind your sneaking, come out right now and I may not kill you where you stand!" they sounded young, one considerably so. I wouldn't hurt them unless provoked, but intimidation is the battle before all battles, win that and blood need not be shed.

"Oh Juno, we got caught. Err w-we're coming out, don't attack! We aren't armed!" hmm sounds like a demigod or at least someone aware of our world. A moment later I spurted out a curse, cause there stood Anna and Emily the Demigod child of Venus and her daughter that Damian had chosen to train as his apprentice.

"What in Jupiter's name are you doing here?!?" they recoiled at my tone, but quickly recomposed themselves.

"We were planning to leave camp long ago.. The other descendants of Venus Hate us, we fitted in nowhere. Until Damian showed up, we decided to stay so long as he was there. Things got even worse when I became his apprentice, accusations of seducing him got thrown around, they started to do more dangerous 'pranks' that almost hurt my daughter. If it wasn't for Damian kindness and belief I'd be gone whether from the camp or this world I don't know" I always forgot how mature Anna was, she may look young but she has lived far longer than most demigods in camp. I would have to find a befitting punishment for the children of Venus, even their mother would be ashamed of their actions.
