(Rocky's POV)

All I remember was a cold feeling going through my body and bathing me in a sheet of gold. My vision was gold and time froze, then I was dunked into water. I shivered and Jason's kiss warmed me up. I kissed back til we heard a whistle. I glared at Leo, who was wiggling his eyebrows, and Coach chuckled.
We pulled away and Jason helped me up. He pulled two towels out for me and Leo from his backpack. I winced when I stood up. My broken leg still hasn't healed properly. Jason let me lean against him as Leo and Coach grabbed the rest of our stuff.
I grabbed the golden backpack I saw in the living room. It was magiked. I had a crazy idea. "Leo, Coach, open the cage and put the venti in this backpack." I told them. They nodded and the venti were sucked into the backpack as if the backpack had a vacuum in it.
I winced again and bit my tongue, holding back a cry of pain. Jason saw my expression and decided to carry me instead. I growled and protested, but he didn't listen to me, so I sighed and gave in. Leo carried the golden backpack while Coach held his bat. We walked to a cave that was clear and far away from the accursed mansion. Leo started a fire to warm both of us up while Jason set me down.
I leaned against the wall and Jason sat next to me, "Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded, leaning against his shoulder. Jason sighed, "I didn't want to risk anymore nectar and ambrosia." I nodded, understanding. I rather not be caught on fire and die that quickly.
We heard howling and Coach tensed, "I'll take first watch. You cupcakes rest." Cupcakes??? Jason kissed my cheek while Leo layed down, his eyes closed. Jason closed his eyes and I realized he was crying.
I wiped his eyes and looked at him, "Are you okay?" I asked. He pressed his forehead against mine, "I nearly lost you again." He whispered. I kissed him quickly, my heart beating like crazy. Coach yelped as we heard snarling. Jason and Leo stood in front of me. And I couldn't do anything, I was injured. I hate being injured. I couldn't do anything.

(Leo's POV)

I stood in front of Rocky, ready to defend my sister. The howling we heard earlier were wolves. A whole pack of six or seven wolves. I couldn't tell which one was the Alpha, but I did know which ones would most likely strike first, all of them. Another wolf howled, but it was more like a command. That must of been the Alpha.
The front wolf stood up on its hind legs and turned into a hairy man. Was this the Beast from that Disney Movie? Rocky gulped nervously and backed into the wall. Jason glanced at her, his eyes still on the Alpha wolf. "You know who this is?" He asked. She nodded, staring at the Alpha. "Lycaon." She said in a small voice.
The man sneered and bowed mockingly, "Yes, I am Lycaon." He grinned his sharp canine teeth at us. I pushed the Coach behind us and made the flames stronger, keeping the wolves at bay. "What's the old myth on him?" I asked Rocky.
"He... He... Sacrificed kids on an altar for Zeus. He was turned into a wolf for his actions. He was turned into the first ever werewolf." She said, shaking. He smiled, "Yes, that is true as well. I died years later, but my Patron brought me to life!" He howled. "Gaea." I said.
He nodded, his wolves coming closer, "And soon, you demigods will be brought to Mother Earth. While that foolish Satyr will become a midnight snack." Coach cursed at him, if Chiron was here, he would wash Coach's mouth with saddle soap.
Lycaon laughed as the wolves came closer to us. We heard a swish and several silver arrows stuck out of the neck of one of the wolves, killing it to dust. A dozen hot girls came out of the forest around the cave. They shot at the wolves as six white wolves joined in, fighting its brethren.
Lycaon hissed, "Wretched Hunters." He turned back into a wolf and the rest of the wolves followed him. A girl stepped into the cave, she wore a small silver circlet in her hair. Sliver clothes, and I think she was glowing. I recognized her from the photo Jason showed us before we left Camp.
It was Thalia. We found the Hunters. Jason sheathed his sword and looked at Thalia, "Th-halia?" His voice cracked. She looked at him, her guard rose, "Who are you?" He looked at her, "Your brother, Jason Grace." He said. So this is his hot sister. She's hotter in person.
