Half Wolf in Disguise

Chapter 3

Artemis's POV: 3 Years Later

Ugh! For three years now I have been assigned the task of finding Percy Jackson. For three years new recruits have been pouring in saying a mysterious man escorted them here. Some call him the shadow, others call him the hidden warrior, and a few refer to him as the end. No one knows his true identity just that he has flame colored eyes. Camp Half-Blood is having the same problem. I tried to find the mystery man to see if he knew anything about Percy or if he is Percy but of course I have no such luck. This assignment is really bringing down my reputation. I can find any monster you want but I can't find one simple male demigod. Ugh it is so frustrating.

I walk outside to see my hunters get ambushed by monsters. Before any of us can draw our bows five knives are flung towards the monsters with deadly accuracy turning the monsters to dust. A hooded figure walks out of the shadows with a little girl with her eyes wide and her jaw hanging open behind him. He flicks his wrist and the knives get catapulted back towards him. he catches all of them by the tip of the blade at the same time and  puts them in a pack. He turns towards me."I understand that the gods have placed a bounty on my head. Honestly I am tired of waiting for someone to find me. But Really Artemis I expected you to do better than the rest. I expected you to find me sooner. I will go with you to Olympus on my own accord. If you even try to take the credit you will meet my blades. If I were you I wouldn't want one at my throat either. Let's go." He walked over and smirked. I inwardly scoffed at his blades until he explained what they were his flame like eyes twinkling the entire time. Everyone's mouth was hanging open including mine yet in the face of danger he had the nerve to say, "If you don't close your mouth your going to catch flys." I composed myself and flashed us all to Olympus.

At Olympus all the gods had gathered to see what the meeting was for. Zeus looked down at me and my hunters and said, "Took you long enough to catch the mystery man." 

Before I could respond the mystery man without turning towards me whispered, "Oh and one more thing. Like my father my threats are never empty." And with that he pulled out a knife and casually started twirling around his fingers. Everyone had their eyebrows raised. I knew that they had heard everything. I gulped. "Actually he came on his own accord. He was tired of people failing to find and capture him." I looked over and saw him nodding his approval.

The other gods shared a confused glance and then Poseidon spoke up. "What is your name?"

The man raised his hands and exclaimed, "Ah, I see you have chosen the million dollar question would you like to give up or phone a friend?"Everyone's mouths hung open at his lack of respect for the gods. Then he had the nerve to say, "I see you chose to catch flys."

Zeus was getting mad and you could see it everyone except the man flinched. He smirked and decided to answer the question. "I have had many names such as  end, shadow, hidden warrior, the guardian angel, and many others. However I have always preferred Percy." And with that the room went silent in shock. Percy flicked his wrist and his eyes changed back to their original sea-green state. Zeus looked angry while Poseidon looked relieved.

"Where have you been? We have been looking for you for 3 years? Do you know how many resources we stretched to see yo-" Zeus stopped talking as a knife flew at him and landed uncomfortably close to his head. One single hair fell from Zeus's head from where the knife had dug into his throne. "You dare threaten me?" Zeus boomed his voice rising with each word.

"Consider it a warning. Next time I won't miss." Percy said with a deadly calm in his voice. 

Zeus started laughing, "I should be afraid of a mere demigods blade." He said in between laughing fits.

Percy looked calm and replied, "Yes. You should fear that blade. I have four copies of it and I bet Artemis would love to explain the blade since it will be used against her too if she doesn't cooperate." He looked at me commandingly.

 I had never truly felt fear before but I knew that this was worse. This feeling was true terror. I cleared my throat. Percy twirled a second knife in his fingers not worried at all about the current situation or getting cut. "That blade. "I said pointing to the one above Zeus's head, "Is made of Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold, Silver, and Stygian Iron. It is hollowed out and filled with a poison made from water from the Styx, Acheron, Cocytus, Phlegethon, and Lethe rivers. And be warned he can pull out and throw the blade faster than my hunters and I can draw our bows." From my side he smirked. Everyone's jaws dropped and Zeus fearfully looked up and paled at the sight of the blade. He grabbed the knife and before the gods could scream no Zeus threw the blade straight at Percy as hard as he could. Percy caught it between his fingers and tucked it back in his belt not dropping the other knife.

"Thank you. Now I have to go. I am needed elsewhere." He transformed into a wolf and jumped out of the window leaving the gods with surprised faces. I was relieved and sighed a breathe of relief as soon as he was gone. The gods all turned on Poseidon.

"He's a werewolf. Why didn't you tell us?" Ares asked.

"I didn't know. Sally must have been a wolf which would make him a hybrid, half wolf, half god."
