Percy Jackson: Guardian of the Hunt

Chapter 12

I woke up in a dark room with a slight pain in my neck, so I reached up and I felt a collar. More than likely made from silver, but I smiled because since I got blessed by Artemis I couldn't be harmed by silver any more. 

"WHO DARES CAPTURE ME" I yelled into the darkness, and a door opened up reveling someone that I told was dead. I growled at her, and then I ripped through my chains and leaped on her growing into my wolf form. 

"How are you still alive" I growled in Annabeth's ear, and she turned white as snow at the mention of her death. 

"We were killed by werewolves like you, but these ones were savage and cruel" she started "t-they" she started to break into uncontrollable sobbing on the floor underneath me. 

"I already know what they did to you and Ryan, but how are you alive and where is Ryan" I growled less angrily this time. Then I looked up and I saw him staring at me in shock and fear, and I stepped off Annabeth and stalked over to him with my anger amount rising and shaking the earth with every step. I growled at him with my teeth bared and my eyes probably glowing some color judging by his expression. 

Annabeth's POV

-----3 months before the final war-----

We were walking along the sidewalk going to the place that Percy's parents' house was, and for some reason I wanted to see what happened. Then I felt something ram into my side and I was thrust into an alleyway rolling on the ground. 

"Annabeth" Ryan yelled running to me, and I looked up to see a wolf man looking at me with lust and death 

"Restrain him, and torture him for a while" he said still looking at me, and I heard a struggle as four other wolf men came from the shadows and pinned Ryan up against the wall, and then  they chained him in silver with gloves. A couple minutes later I heard him screaming and blades coming from their sheathes, and then the man grabbed me by the hair and dragged me to the opposite side of the wall, and then he also chained me up against the wall with gloves. My eyes started to water as I saw what Ryan looked like in only five minutes of them torturing him. He had very nasty cuts and his skin was in ribbons, and he looked at me with broken and sad eyes. I can't write this part so I am just going to skip it, and i think that you know what happened. 

---Present Percy's POV---

"Please don't hurt me" Ryan said sinking to the floor in fear and agony probably from earlier memories, and I smelled that they were broken inside. Even though they still had hearts beating in them, and I shifted and pulled out my silver blade that I had on my waist. I only used it for special things not wars and large fights, but small things that would be worth killing things with it. 

"Give me a reason not to kill both of you" I said to him directing it to both of them and they went to each others sides and turned white as paper. 

"Go ahead and kill us, and I just want you to know that we have no excuse for what we did to you" Annabeth said and Ryan nodded in agreement. I had them come up to me by waving my sword in a motion to do so, and after a second of hesitation I put my sword away and they came over to me. Then I lit my palm with the symbol of truth in Greek fire, and then burned both of their arms making them scream in pain and agony. 

"The mark will go away after you answer all of my questions truthfully, and if you lie then that mark will act as a rash that will spread over your body, and give you unimaginable pain" I looked at their colorless faces and then started to ask my questions, and after I was done the marks went away like I said and they rubbed their arms wincing in pain. I learned that Ryan did what he did because he was jealous of me and my power, and Annabeth believed him because of a spell that was put on her and the rest of the campers. That spell was lifted a week before I left, and I also learned that Annabeth soon fell in love with the Ryan and they started to go everywhere together until the attack that killed them both and changed them into monsters like me, but under my control. I didn't have to burn them because I would've known when they were lying and made them answer truthfully, but I didn't want to give them the chance of lying to me and they didn't to my surprise. Though I guess that it was expected because they were broken inside, and Annabeth was carrying a child that wasn't hers, and one that would kill her when it was born no matter what happened.
