9.) Fights With Friends

PERCY

Anger. That's all I felt at the moment. The worst part? I have nothing to be angry about. I'm just very pissed off at everything and it's not helping that my fangs and claws would just grow and then shrink every few minutes.

I ball my hands into a fist as I glare at the sandy floor of the arena. I knew my emotions were going to be out of control today but I could at least calm myself down but now it seems that all self-control has just been thrown out the window and fed to the hyenas.

"Percy? Why are you glaring at the floor?" A low growl sounded in my throat when Will came up to me.

"Stay away from me," I spat, my claws growing and stabbing into my palms. Will decided to ignore me and continued walking, although a bit slower now and with his hands slightly raised.

"Percy, what's wrong?"

"Nothing! Just leave me alone, Blondie." I glare at him and he has a pained look on his face. I only ever call him that if I was seriously mad at him like he did something wrong.

"I can help you. Just tell me what's wrong." I clench my fists tighter and blood drips from my hand.

"No, you can't. So stay away so I don't hurt you."

"You could never hurt me, Percy. No matter what you do." He tells me softly and he eyes the blood that's splattering on the ground. His blue eyes flicker up to mine and he takes another step towards me. I growl at him to keep away but he takes another step.

My fangs grow until they are sharp points and I growl louder and step towards the son of Apollo. "I guess I'll just make you stay away." I take another step until I'm being held back by the pack. Hazel holds onto my right hand, separating my claws from my hands which only causes more blood to flow out. Calypso does the same with my left and and Frank holds onto my shoulders. I glare viciously at Leo as he stands in front of Will.

"Let me go!" I yell and struggle to get out of the three werewolves' grip. "Get away from me."

"Get a grip, Percy!" Leo yells. "Just look at what you're doing! That's Will. Your best friend who just wants to help you. You're going out of control!"

"He's not trying to help me. He's never tried to help me! So let me go so I can make him stay away!"

"And how are you going to do that? Hurt him until he stays away? How is that going to help anyone, Percy? He's your friend so stop trying to kill him."

I laughed a cold and dark laugh. "I wouldn't kill the Apollo spawn," I growled as I got angrier and angrier. "I'll just do something so he'll never come near me again. So let me go you assholes!" I start struggling even until I manage to get out of their grip and right in front of Will when I get held back again by all four werewolves and Nico took Leo's spot in front of me.

"Move," I demanded coldly to the son of Hades. "This doesn't involve you."

Nico rolled his eyes and Will looked at me with sad eyes.

"Sure it doesn't. You're hurting one of my friends. And he just so happens to be yours too." He says in an even voice.

"I haven't touched him. I didn't hurt a hair on his pretty little head," I growled at Nico as I looked past him to look at Will.
