Chapter 2

Annabeth felt like she was wrapped in darkness. One minute she was happy dreaming with Percy right next to her. Then it went bad. She couldn’t move. Something was happening to her. She cried out is pain. Everything felt like it was on fire. She was changing. Bones were reshaping and she on all fours not because of pain but that she was forced down from her bone changing. She blinked her eyes. There was a mirror right in front of her and she was staring into the eyes of a wolf.

(LINE BREAK)

Annabeth bolted up right. But it felt like the dream wasn’t over there was a weird burning feeling in her stomach. Then Percy did the same as her shoot up just like she did. The look in his eyes told her he was feeling the same thing. Then they heard someone coming. Annabeth panicked and whimpered “I think we can’t let them see us like this,” Percy nodded and then winced. They both go up ran out of the infirmary and to the forest, acting on a weird instinct. They ran until they both dropped by the creek with same pain that they experienced in the dream only it was really happening. Annabeth bit her tongue to stop the screams of pain flowing for her lips. Percy was doing the same. Percy thought of the dream he was just but this wasn’t a dream this time. He felt his fingers hardening into claws. Then he's growing a tail (which was the weirdest to him).

Then it was over. He scampered over to the creek and looked at his reflection. His fur was glossy black exactly like his hair. Also along the front he had thin gray fur line on side of his head. Though he didn’t know why it showed up sense the mark had faded long before that. Percy eyes were still bright green from when human. His black claws had hints of green and also in his coat. Annabeth was very different form Percy. Her fur was white with gray on her claws and coat, in the same pattern as Percy’s. She had the same gray mark sense when the both held up the sky but why they had it again was confusing.

“Whoa” Annabeth looked at Percy. “We can talk to each other?” Percy made a wolfish grin.Then turn his head to look at his tail. “I wonder if wolf chase their tails?” He asked. “Seaweed brain! This isn't the time! How are going to keep this from the others?” Then she started to hyperventilate. Percy trotted up to her and licked her cheek “Annabeth its fine well get out this mess. Come on lets go for a walk. I wonder how fast we can go…” Annabeth just nodded. They started to walk slowly at first but then they were running with the wind in the ears. Then they turned when they reached the beach. Then they slowed to walk to catch their breath. Percy stated “Well, I like running better as a wolf.” Annabeth laughed. “Yeah, and our eyesight and smell in incredible.”

Then there was a thunk next to them. They turned and saw Ryan with bow in hand aiming right at Annabeth. Ryan shot. “No!’ Percy yelled. That one made its mark on her back leg. But he lunged forward with greater speeds than any normal wolf. He bit down on the second arrow before hitting her like the other and it snapped in haft. Then Clarisse with her (7th) electric spear came charging at them. 

“Clarisse?” Annabeth yelled. But it must have sounded like a growl to her so she zeroed on her. Then Percy jumped to block her to get to Annabeth. “Annabeth go met by the creek where it goes into the ocean!” Percy told her. Annabeth started to run but was slow with the arrow still in its place. He dodged Clarisse’s attack by running a haft circle to behind her. “Oh? So you’re a smart wolf. This will be fun.” While she was ranting he glanced to see how far Annabeth had gotten. She was almost to the creek. Clarisse made another strike and ran underneath her legs, which made her flip on her face. He took that opening and ran.

 But Percy turned and looked back wondering if he could ever return to camp then a thought reached his mind, I'm a monster. He looked at Chiron and lets his ears droop down. He made a howled of sadness. But Percy guessed that they didn’t get it because Chiron notched an arrow on his bow. Percy took off toward the creek. He heard a whistle of an arrow and veered quickly to the right and didn’t break his stride. He raced until he reached Annabeth.

“Percy,” she said “I can’t run with this arrow in my leg.” He nodded and before Annabeth figured out what he was going to do he yanked the arrow out of her body. Annabeth gave a yelp of pain and jumped/turned and then, growled “Hey that hurt!” Percy shrugged as well as he could being a wolf. “It had to come out.” The Clarisse can around the corner and snored “There’s the puppies I was looking for.” “Annabeth follow me and make sure to stay close behind me.” Percy ordered. He ran toward the ocean “ Percy what are you doing?” yelled but still followed in close pursuit Percy keeps running toward it till he’s on top of it with Annabeth close behind.

Clarisse stood there dumb struck for a second then ran after them but when she reached the water’s edge she wobbled in it and almost fell in but didn’t. All she could was watch the two huge wolves run across open waters and wait for the other to arrive.

 (LINE BREAK)

Chiron stared at the empty beds with sadness in his eyes and then said, “In form the campers that we are having a council meeting in fifteen minutes.” Yes sir and she scampered off.”

Fifteen minutes later all the councilors were around the Ping-Pong table, but Percy and Annabeth of course, weren't there but Chiron did see glances to the two empty chairs. Then Katie spoke up “What's up? We weren't supposed to have a meeting today.” Now all eyes were on Chiron. He sighed “I guess I should get out quickly. Percy and Annabeth are-” a pause “are gone.” There was a lot of what's and more than one huhs. “But” over all of them he heard Clarisse I so Chiron focused on her “Why would they leave. There is no reason this time. Chiron, is there?” They cornered Chiron. “Fine I’ll tell you I want them to say it but before I do I don’t think Percy would have left because of it.” Chiron said. “Get on with it!” one called. “Annabeth is pregnant.”

All the girls gasped while the dudes slumped back into their chair disappointed. “Really! How far along is she?” Now it was just gossip going around. “Quiet” Chiron, yelled. Then the girls stopped talking except Clarisse, who wasn’t talking in the first place. “Ok, we to have a meeting tomorrow and no telling this to the other campers yet. I don’t want anyone to start panicking or something.” Everyone nodded. “Now off to bed! We will meet at 10 o’clock sharp.” Then everyone left the room and went to their cabins.

Chiron whose was still in wheel chair muttered so no one but him could here “Why and where have you gone Percy?”
