Percy Jackson: The Wolf Curse

Chapter 20: Heated Hunters & Sneaky Daughters

[Artemis POV:]

"Sooo, where exactly did you find this totally despicable picture of a male?" asked the worst Hunter that could've found me with a painting of a nude male.

Phoebe, but not for the reason you'd expect.

"I confiscated it from a certain cave I happened to come across, but enough talk of that. Gather the hunt. We have a prophecy to discuss" I know I should ask Athena's daughter.. But I had to drop this here painting off first since I promised the oracle I wouldn't let her know of it. Shame.. such a dam gosh shame.. Oh well. Now that I'm here we might as well see if we can do it without her, it would be silly to bother her over nothing after all.

"Hmm very well Lady Artemis" oh she was not letting this one go. I'd have to give her some private time with picture Percy later, well after me. I am the leader after all, I get first dibs whether it be a painting or the real thing. I watched as she turned away and jogged off towards our cabin we'd been staying in the past couple of weeks.

Knowing my girls well, I knew it'd take them some time to arrive due to an on route castration at the least. So I decided to go over all the current leads we had on Dami- Percy, I still mix up his name. My hunters and wolves had scoured the local area all the way to Chicago and a bit further and found absolutely no trace of him, not even a faint scent of him. His last tracks were towards New York City, but the tracks ended too soon to tell any further directional information for all we know he took a bus to Canada. Though knowing him he was probably running on instinct alone so our best bet is to continue west. Where in the west he'd go I don't know.

"Lad- -temis.. LADY ARTEMIS!" Who, what, where!? Oh fuck they're here I didn't even notice them, either I've trained them too well or I'm outta shape.

"Sorry I was concentrating on where our wolf might've scampered off to, typical mutt.." I admit I was still a bit bitter about him running out on us like that.

"So... you called us?" oh right I did.

"Right, I wanted to discuss the prophecy I received from the oracle" they all nodded, but I noticed their attention was elsewhere. Namely at picture Percy, bringing hi- that along to a group of probably Percy withdrawn eternal teens was not the smartest idea.

"And where are Percy's girls and Thalia?" It wasn't like them not to show up, though probably for the better. I'd hate to scar them with a full body size painting of their father nude. Cause I can say this I'd move to my domain to another solar system or just fade If I ever saw Zeus like that... Nightmare material right there. Just the mental picture makes me want to castrate something.. Hmm I think I'll find a scummy male later. I hear Zeus has a new demigod son that's been acting like a little shit.. Perfect.

"I think I saw them heading to the big house earlier. I overheard something about a map and a holiday?" The girls liked to do this a lot, always planning journeys around the world. They're probably trying to take their minds off their father who better have a dam good reason for not coming back by now.

"So let's start the meeting then shall we?" no one responded.. They were too busy drinking up the picture of Percy's perfect body.

I couldn't blame them. I was making a wet patch with just an occasional glance. This is gonna be a long as hades meeting.

[Med's food an fuel:]

[Percy's POV:]

"I'm sorry we're doing what now?" I asked sarcastically. I was doubting what I'd heard.

"Dog training" I heard was correct. And I hate that.

"Ok. Let me rephrase.. what do you mean by 'dog training' exactly" cause I'm a wolf. Not a dog. Difference, plus I'm human.. inside... well in my old memories that I don't currently have I am. Huh guess I am more wolf than Percy like this.
