Percy Jackson: Guardian of the Hunt

Chapter 4

They marched this way, and kept on marching until they were about a mile from the camp. I looked around and then grabbed an arrow from the girls quiver glad that the shaft wasn't studded with silver. Then they stopped and all of the wolves lay on the floor, and watched me calmly.

"Percy Jackson" Lycaon yelled "I'm surprised that your still living, but then again I'm not" he paused.

"You aren't going to be when were done" I yelled back, and he chuckled with his wolves a little.

"I don't think that you are completely among the living either are you Percy" he said catching me by surprise. Did he know, and if he did how. "I can smell that you aren't alive, so how are you" I inwardly was relieved, but still cautious.

"To be honest" I said "I have no idea" then he walked up to me and I put the arrow in the back of my pants. Then he pulled out a silver sword with a cloth handle, so that he wouldn't get burned by the silver. I pulled out Riptide, and then I smelled that the blade had a strange smell to it like it was poisoned by something. He caught my strange look, and started to talk.

"I know it may have a strange smell" he said "but this poison makes the victim take up to a century to reform in Tartarus" and I looked at it wearily, but then a plan came up in my head just as he lunged. I parried it, and we spent the next couple of minutes blocking, striking, and moving. Then I knocked the blade from his grasp, and stabbed him in the shoulder with an arrow. Then I dived and grabbed the poisoned silver blade as he fell to the ground in pain trying to pull out the arrow. Then he saw me with his sword and I smelled fear in his scent.

"I am surprised that you couldn't get past me and I haven't even shifted yet" I said "any last words before I send you to Tartarus" I asked pointing the blade at him.

"Actually yes" he said "I wish you luck with the shift, and my wolves" he smirked and I just sent the blade straight into his heart and watched as he slowly crumpled to dust. Then I heard the wolves wine, and then they looked at me expectantly.

"I will talk to you guys later" I said to them "but for now go back to your homes and never harm another human or demigod again in any way, or I will be coming for you" I looked at them threateningly, and they whimpered before going into the forest again. Then I walked over and picked up the sheath for my new blade, and walked back to the camp sheathing my blade just as everyone started to come out of their tents. Thalia looked at me confused, and I shook my head in a 'I'll tell you later' motion and she nodded and went to help the others. Then I remembered the girl that I brought here, and rushed to the hospital tent to see that she was still sleeping peacefully and there was a hunter by her side.

"Do you know her" I asked

"Yeah we searched for her far and wide, and I thought that she had died" she said and looked at me "how did you find her"

"I followed the strange scent coming from the woods" I said and she was relieved for a second then confused again and I knew why "she probably had a cloaking spell on so that no one could find her" and then her tears started again and I left the tent to leave her alone. They smelled similar, and I immediately knew that she was her sister. Right when I left I herd her say "thanks you for bringing her home" and then went silent again in sadness.

"What happened" Thalia said "one moment I was fine and then the next I was falling asleep in my tent"

"I don't know" I said "the wolves drugged the camp, and were about to attack"

"What happened" she asked again with a dangerous tone

"Come with me" I said I think that Artemis will want to hear this too, and headed for the big tent in the middle of camp. When Thalia got there with Artemis, I knew that she had told her what I had told Thalia, and I didn't care.
