Werewolf Demigods

Chapter 2: Taxi

   We were heading into the Upper East Side. " Jay, where are we going?" I asked. I was really starting to get annoyed by all the things he was saying. "To Camp." Was all he said while he pulled the Plexiglas shut. " What Camp?" I asked while snapping my fingers under his nose. " Camp Half-Blood." He said slowly, but quietly so the Taxi Driver couldn't hear. " Is that a sick joke?" I hissed at him.  My Mother was a Full blood Cherokee. I remember the day she told me about my Dad. It was 3 months ago just before I started going to The Academy.

* FLASHBACK *

  It was a warm Summer day. My mom had been going through the Internet looking for another school for me to go to because I had just gotten Kicked out of my boarding school. Again. We were sitting on our  Chairs in our backyard. We lived in a 1 story Yellow house in a nice Neighborhood in Tennessee. Our Neighbor, Mr.Anderson, Was watering his flower bed. " How about The Academy?" She asked with a hint of Laughter in her voice. " The Academy? Clever Name. And where is it?" I asked her. Her face fell. " New York." She whispered. " New York." I repeated. I tried to sound nonchalant. New York just me and my Mom. Going to see weird movies and shopping for stupid shirts. I'm not one for shopping, but just me and her would be exactly what I wanted. " Me and You in New York? Just us?" I asked. " That would be perfect, Mom." I said. I looked a little like my Mom, but not a lot. I Had Her tan skin, rounded nose, and High Cherokee cheekbones. Other than that I have Dark Curly hair, and Warm Brown eyes. I guess I was ok looking.She always told me I looked like my Father. " Sweet heart." She said warily, but her voice was strained. The look in her Big Soft Brown eyes made me look up from my book. " Mom, Please tell me your seriously not going to send me all the way to New York alone?" I asked. I made sure there was accustion in my voice. " Sweetie you know my job is getting tougher. We are literally on the verge of a big break in the case." I knew her job was hard. But hard enough to send me all the way up there alone. My mom was a Homicide detective. She was investigating the Death of Alison Lovegood.  I never knew her, but she came from a rich  family.  " Dad wouldn't make me go alone." I regretted the words as soon as they were out of my mouth. " Oh thats not fair. I know your Dad wouldn't, but Sam, He's Gone and I don't think he's coming back. But, he loved you and he loved me. But, Sam, You can't keep using him against me." She said calmly which suprised me a lot. I figured she'd atleast yell at me. " You know your Dad is White. That makes you a Half-Blood." She said it like it was an inside joke I should understand." You my darling are going to the Academy. And since it is far from me. There will be a teacher there. If anything weird happens go to Mr. Frog. He is a friend of the Cherokee legends that go back millions of years ago. Trust  him. And if he kisses your birthmark on your hand call me immediately, my little wolf."

* END OF FLASHBACK *

   I had tried to call her, but it went straight to voice mail. I looked over at Jay and all he said was," No! You are a Half-Blood. For real. Your Dad is one of the Olympians." He whisper yelled at me.

   A few minutes later the taxi pulled over to an abandoned warehouse. " Such a nice looking camp." I muttered. " This isn't Camp." He said worriedly. " Hey, um, Driver this isn't where we wanted to go!" Jay yelled while pounding on the Plexiglas. " I know Jay Maurice Turner." The taxi driver said slowly, but really scary like. Like the voice of a killer walking through the halls of a house saying," I'm gonna get you...." Nice and slowly so you'll be scared. " Your Middle name is Maurice?" I snickered. " SHUT UP!" Jay hissed at me. His cheeks were bright red. No wonder he never told me. " How in Hades does he know my name? He can only be a... Sam when you get the chance run. Run to Long Island all the way to the tip until you reach a hill with a Pine Tree." Jay said seriously but also he sounded scared. "Dude, no matter what you say i'm not leaving even if we die. 'Til the end Bro." I said smiling at him he smiled back." Samuel Francis Bay!" The taxi Driver said. " Great he knows my name to!" I said stupidly. We (stupidly i might add) Stepped out of the Taxi. The driver followed us. When we were 6 feet from the car the driver started to Transform. Soon he had Leathery Gray skin, Wings, and Glowing red eyes with a Firey whip. " FURY!!" Jay yelled and brought out a real sword. " SAM TAKE THIS AND HELP ME KILL IT!" He yelled to  me and threw me the sword. I caught it but it felt heavy in my hands." Kill?" I asked Quietly. I Wanted to hide under the car, but I forced myself to raise the sword. The Fury stood 3 feet away from me. Jay stood 4 feet to my Left facing the Fury with a knife. The sword felt awkward in my hand. " What do you want Fury? What does Hades want?" Jay demanded. His voice wavered as he said the words that were meant to be brave. " His kind must die!!" The Fury said while pointing at ME! " My kind?" I asked. " The activation has started! It is to late. I must kill you. Even If it is against my King's wishes."  He said rather sadly to be honest. " What activation? What king?" I asked. " your Father wanted to keep you safe. He made a deal with my master. A deal my Master agreed to. I'm so sorry Mr.Bay. But I must kill you now." The Fury said and he lunged at me Talons at the ready. I Rolled out of the way. I could feel the air where my head had been a moment before be slashed with his Talons. Jay lunged and swung his dagger at the Fury, but the Fury deflected it with his Talons. I tried to stab at the Fury, but the Fury rolled away just in time. The Fury slashed at me with its Talons, but Jay drove his dagger in front of it and deflected the Talons from slashing at my chest. Then the Fury kicked me and I flew back 10 feet.  Jay screamed," NO!" And threw his dagger at the Fury. The Fury just swatted it aside.

   Jay was looking at me and his eyes asked a silent question, You ok? I nodded my head and he sighed with relief. " Jay LOOK OUT!!" I screamed, but it was to late. The Fury had picked up Jay's Dagger and drove into his shoulder.  Jay screamed in pain.

   The pain in my shoulder had spreaded into side and throughout my entire body.

   " JAY!" I yelled. My voice sounded deeper. Like it was a recording of someone else's voice.

   Jay fell to the ground and started flopping like a fish. " JAY! Are you okay?" I asked my voice was a deep growl now. For some reason my eyes starting noticing little things wrong with the Fury. Like how he was limping. We had done some damage.

   " KILL IT SAM! What's wrong with your voice?'' Jay asked just as he was sitting up against the Taxi. I turned to him and he yelped and pushed himself all the way up against the Taxi. " Y-Y-Y-Your  eyes! Your Face! My Gods!" He exclaimed in a stunned tone." What are you talking about?" I asked him. Wow I really can't get used to this deep voice. " KILL IT!" He yelled at me again. For some reason I wanted to rip the Fury's throat out. I looked down at my hands because they were burning worse than anything else. There was blood on my hands. " OOOWWW!" I yelled. My entire body was on fire. My fingertips were bleeding. I screamed as I watched claws grow from my finger nails.

   The Fury just stood there stupidly and watched me scream at the sight of my claws. Why didn't it attack me? I dropped the sword in my hand. The Fury walked over to me. It kicked the blade away and backed away a little. I was going to die anyway so I swiped at the Fury. My claws created scratch marks on his face. He howled in pain. I growled a loud murderous growl.

   Before I knew it my teeth were on his throat and I ripped it out. The Fury turned to dust. The hot breeze made me realize I was sweating. I looked at my hands and the claws were gone.

   Jay looked at me with fear. He flinched as I walked toward him. I picked him up and put him in the Drivers seat of the Taxi. I climbed into the passengers seat. " Drive me to this Camp, Jay." I demanded. Ever since I saw the claws form from my hands I had a new found courage. I Killed a Fury. He started the car. " What happened back there sam? You literally bit his throat out!'' He asked suprised. "I don't know." I said. He stared at me confused and finally said," We tell people you stabbed it in the chest. Something tells me we shouldn't tell anybody what really happend." His voice sounded uneasy. Afraid. " Promise." He insisted. " Sure I guess." I said. "Promise!" He demanded. " Fine! I promise."  And he started driving. Soon we were on the Highway heading into Long Island Sound. All I could think was. What the hell just happened??
