Percy Jackson protector of the hunt

Chapter 2

Hey guys here is the next chapter tell me what you think

Percy POV

I woke up with a start. I shook my head trying to remember what happened. I remembered seeing the apartment explode, and I remember the fight with the wolf, but I don't remember anything after that. I stood up groggily as I tried to get to my feet. When I stood up I realized something else, I noticed that my sight had sharpened considerably, but that wasn't the only thing that had sharpened. My sense of smell had increased as well and I had to hold it as the true stench of New York hit me. I gagged until I also caught a whiff of the sea. The strange part was that I wasn't even anywhere close to the sea. It was miles away, but it still brought me some comfort. As I excited the alley way I turned toward the sea knowing that that was the one place that I could be and stay calm. After a couple of miles I saw the beautiful waves lap against the shore line. I smiled and jumped in happily. It was strange, but the fish weren't fighting for my attention. They were actually avoiding me. It was strange, because normally when I was in the sea every fish within a mile was trying to fight for my attention. I thought about it until I saw a silver flash above me standing on the shore line. Swallowing my fear I kicked towards the surface, but before I even breached I smelled the moon, if one could smell the moon. When my head broke the surface I saw Artemis standing on the shore with a bow in her hand. Again I dry swallowed. If Artemis was here, that was never a good thing. She hated men, and if she was holding her bow, it was even worse. I slowly walked out of the ocean, with my hand in my pocket, ready to bring out Riptide just In case. When she saw me a look of pity came across her face slightly. It wasn't much, but I could also smell her emotions. It was a weird feeling. Before I could say anything, she drew her bow and said, "Percy Jackson, I have been ordered to kill you on sight, however I must ask you something before I let this arrow fly." To say I was shocked was a little of an understatement. The only person who could order Artemis around was Zeus. "Ok." I said with just a slight hint of fear in my voice. "What do you need to ask." With a quick glance up she said, "I must know did you do everything you were accused of?" I sat down before I answered. "Artemis, do you think I am the kind of person that would do something like that?" I said while waiting for the arrow to pierce my skin. It never came. I looked up and saw that Artemis no longer had her bow drawn. "No. No I know you aren't." She slung her bow on her back and asked, "May I?" she said indicating the spot on the shore beside me. I nodded and she sat down beside me. This was weird because one she was a man hating goddess, and two because she hadn't killed me yet, and three because she was actually being nice to me. "Listen Percy." She started. "I have an offer for you. You don't have to except, but if you don't someone else will hunt you down, and they will be much less understanding than I am." I indicate that she should continue. "How would you like to be protector of the hunters?" I looked at her as if she had just grown a second head. "But you're you." Was the smartest thing that came to mind. She smiled and said, "Yes I am me. Who else would I be? Listen Percy I know it is a shock, but I do need someone to help protect the hunt when I can't be there. And with your current. . . " She looked up looking for the right word. ". . . situation. You are the obvious choice." I looked at her and asked, "Situation?" She looked at me and said, "Percy do you feel stronger? Faster? Sharper senses?" I nodded, but wondered how she could have known all that. She nodded. "Thought so. Percy that wolf you fought wasn't just any ordinary wolf. It was the spirit of all werewolves, and can turn anyone into one, however you are lucky you survived. Most times it devours the person if it catches them." A look of shock came across my features as I looked at myself and said, "So wouldn't I be putting your hunters in danger if I were to ever become a werewolf while they were around." Again she smiled as if she had already thought of that. "Normally yes, but if you become the guardian of the hunt, I will give you my blessing, which will let you control your wolfish side and not the other way around." I nodded but then asked. "Ok well that's one problem, but what about me personally. I doubt your hunters will be too pleased to have a male staying in their camp." She looked down and said, "You're right. However they will get over it because I will give them a good reason why you are there. Also it may help if you don't let them know that you are you. When they first meet you, you can approach them in your wolf form so that they don't try to kill you because you are a male." I nodded assured that I wouldn't be killed on sight. "Artemis there is one other thing that I need to know. Why?" I could tell she understood. Why me? Why would she let me in with the Hunters? Why didn't she kill me? It took her a few minutes to answer, but when she did I was shocked. "Because Percy I trust and respect you." That was all she said. Nothing more and nothing less. I tried to process what she just said, but before it could she asked. "Now do you except my offer." I looked at her and said, "Yeah Artemis I except your offer. I would be honored. After all I have nowhere else to go." She smiled as if she was pleased and placed her hand on my shoulder. She started to chant, and soon I saw a silver glow surround my hands. "There." She said. "You are now in full control of yourself again, and I also made it to where you can't be killed by silver. You can be injured, but killed no. However I don't know how it will affect other metals since you aren't only affected by silver." I looked at her shocked at what she just said. "Do you mean that I am a god?" I asked. "Technically yes. You are a god, but officially no. You are a god of nature and protection, but will you bleed ichor no." I looked at my hands again as I realized what she had just done. "Are you ready to go join the hunt Percy?" I smiled. "Yeah I'm ready." She grabbed my shoulder again and flashed us out.
