The Life of Percy Jackson

Chapter 4

"Percy!" Annabeth shrieked as the second werewolf was coming toward her and Grover. Annabeth had her sword in her hand, but she doubted that it would hurt the large beast that was hurrying toward her. Grover was trying to play a tune on his pipes but all it seemed to do was annoy the beast causing Grover to bleat nervously. At the sound of Annabeth's voice, and Grover's obvious fear, Percy quickly turned since the first werewolf had already fallen to the ground, dead.

When Percy saw the second werewolf barreling toward Annabeth and Grover he was obviously worried and moved to get in front of his best friend and girlfriend. As he did so he fired off a few shots, unfortunately, due to his worry the first two missed altogether, and the third wasn't fatal. The Winchesters also realised what was going on and turned to help Percy. Unfortunately, none of them were fast enough as the werewolf began to attack Annabeth, knocking her off her feet.

As she had suspected her sword had no effect on the werewolf. Meanwhile, Grover was freaking out, and Percy was obviously trying to save Annabeth. He quickly killed the werewolf, but when he looked at Annabeth afterward it quickly hit him that there would be no saving her, the werewolf had intended to kill, and that's exactly what it had done.

When the Winchesters saw that there was no saving Annabeth they knew how Percy was probably feeling at that moment even though they didn't know just how long Percy had known Annabeth. Grover also looked devastated since he had known Annabeth since she was seven. In his mind, Percy was blaming himself for what had happened. He thought that maybe if he'd just told her the truth things might be different, but there was no way to change that now since it was already too late.

They all knew that they should probably leave before cops showed up since someone might have called them if they'd heard what was going on but before they did, Percy needed to talk to the Winchesters some more. Percy thanked them for helping him, and they apologized for not being able to save Annabeth. They also exchanged phone numbers.

Percy did have a phone but he kept it mainly for emergencies since using it could attract monsters and he ran into enough of those without using it. Regardless he told the Winchesters his number since they might end up helping each other out again. Before long they went their separate ways. Dean was almost certain that Percy had lied to them the day before, but he decided not to question him about it considering everything Percy had gone through during the past couple days.

Once the Winchesters were gone Percy turned to Grover who was upset and confused. Trying hard not to cry after everything that had just happened he said, pointing to Annabeth's lifeless body, "Let's get her back to camp, I'll explain everything there,"

Percy knew he owed Grover an explanation, after all, that werewolf could have just as easily decided to attack Grover instead of Annabeth, and Grover was his best friend, he probably should have told his friends earlier, maybe that way Annabeth would still be alive. Whether that was the case or not Percy knew he would have to tell Grover everything since he had the right to know, especially now after Annabeth was just killed by a werewolf.

Percy called Blackjack and his buddies to help them get back to camp since he wasn't sure taking the car he'd been using was the best idea, after all, he didn't want to get pulled over for whatever reason since he didn't want the cops to see Annabeth and arrest him. Not only that but he wasn't sure he could concentrate on driving after what had happened.

Percy was finding it hard not to cry as he and Grover headed back to camp, but once they got there Percy carried Annabeth's cold, motionless body into camp and Grover went to find Chiron so Percy could explain what had happened. Both Chiron and Grover listened as Percy explained everything. He explained how Greek monsters weren't the only monsters out there and that Christianity was also real. He explained what hunters were and how his mom and her family had all been hunters, he explained that his mom had taught him everything she knew just in case he encountered monsters other than Greek ones.
