Percy Jackson: The Wolf Curse

Chapter 34: Would Everyone Just Shut up!? Please?

[Percy's POV:]

Here I was hiding some of the most feared monsters from a man-hating Goddess that made a hobby hunting them; one which I apparently used to serve or something and left before losing my dam memories, seriously fuck amnesia, 0 stars. Oh did I also mention I contain some kind of ancient angsty wolf deity that may or may not be from my 'made up' story lives in me? Or that I just revealed to Artemis I kinda remember her and my ex? Or not ex.. that I have hidden from? for the last 6 years?

Yeah I am getting a little, super, very overwhelmed here.

"DAMIAN HURRY UP AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF" ok that's it! I miss the days I was hanging my tongue out the window and slobbering cars, whilst annoying Reyna.. Good times.. Anyway, back to angry wolf mode.

"WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP AND LET ME THINK! Please." The last 5 minutes had been completely overwhelming, Artemis demanding answers I don't have and Reyna trying to placate her whilst asking her own questions. Fidi and Emily were stirring and cold, even whilst enveloped in my fur.

"Don't you dare tal-" oh no you don't little huntress you and your goddess can shuttit, I could see Reyna about to chastise me as well and I was not having any of it.

"No.. DON'T YOU DARE. All 3 of you. I have sat here quietly, anxiously and exhaustedly for the last 5 minutes listening to you all bicker about me. Lady Artemis, as I Said, I only remember snippets. Nothing specific so stop asking me questions I cannot answer. Reyna, I thank you for trying to diffuse the situation but they might as well know now, because frankly I feel like Apollo just rose from the west instead" Catching my breath I took a breather in their shock. Secrets.. Don't work. I learned this the hard way and I don't want to learn it again. That said, my human form was probably a secret best kept for another day, I do want to survive this day moderately warm after all, and more importantly stay paperwork free, paws equal no papers.

"I might as well know what?" asked Artemis, calmer but no less stern, perhaps my enraged response had actually gotten through to her.. But the murderous look in her eyes suggested otherwise. It's quite unnerving.

"Damian what abou..." I gave her a look demonstrating I cared not.

"Are you sure about this?" she asked once more. I simply nodded before turning back my attention to the growingly impatient deity and her huntress.

"Lady Artemis, I apologise for my outburst, but I have learned a lot about myself in the last day with no time to process any of it at all. First things first, I suspect you already know it, but I am Percy Jackson, yes the weirdly important one, no I don't remember being him, and no I have no clue about why I turned up at Lupa's doorstep. Secondly, I currently harbour friendly monsters on my back which you'd probably have once shot on sight, and if you want this to end peacefully then no harm will befall them or my- their kids. Thirdly we are on route to help the peaceful titans that were wrongly treated despite my apparent old selves wishes. Finally I seem to have some sort of ancient deity dormant inside me that I have NO clue about. Any questions, anyone?" Everyone looked at me mouth agape, getting a slight taste of the confusion I had that last few weeks. It made me smile, just a little bit. Didn't last too long.

"So it is you Percy? Fuck me you grew." Spoke the hunter, I'm sorry what? That was her reply to everything I just said? Nothing about oh I don't know the monsters on my back? The fact we are freeing Titans? Why am I the only one ever stressed by these things?!?

"Wait, you both knew?" asked Reyna, who was as confused as I was, probably more. It oddly comforted me a bit. Artemis thought for a few moments while her hunter that was painfully familiar just stared at me. It was quite unnerving. I could feel her urge to hug me for some reason and the fact I could tell unnerved me more. I kinda want to let her.
