Important A/N at the end

The light of the setting sun hit the trees as darkness consumed the forest, casting purple shadows everywhere. The leaves of the trees rustled in the wind, as branches swayed. Twigs snapped and bushes rustled, while small animals roamed the forest undergrowth, looking for the tiniest trace of food. Birds sang their encore for the day, and frogs and toads croaked they're way back to their homes. A lone wolf howled at the moon, now rising in the night sky.

If anyone had been there, watching that wolf, in that peculiar moment, they most certainly would have given themselves a shake, ran out of the forest, and have forgotten it in a week or so. Which would have been good for the wolf, as it dived off the cliff it was standing on. As silent as if it hadn't even been there, it raced through the forest, dodging trees, jumping over fallen logs, and swiping anything that came remotely close to him. Nothing would let him miss tonight. Tonight's bite was special.

The wolf slid under a tree, performing a stunt a regular wolf would never have been able to do, and slid slowly to a halt in a circle of trees. Getting up onto four legs again, he paced the perimeter of the circle, glancing left and right, growling softly. A twig snapped from the bushes further away. His head snapped up in shock. Why did it have to be tonight, he screamed mentally.

A sharp pain ripped through his hind leg, and his body seized up in pain. His head twisted around to look to where the arrow had come from just as a small, auburn haired girl walked forward.

"Lycaon…" she stated, as she walked cautiously towards him. "You dare come this close to my hunter's camp? You must be stupider than we anticipated…" She turned to face the bushes and called out. "Zoe, Phoebe. Come with me. The rest of you head to the mansion."

Lycaon snarled at her before morphing into a human. He shook his greasy black hair out of his eyes and stretched. Turning to face the girl, he sneered. "You think a few little girls will stop me from gaining a new family member?" His eyes turned a dark shade of crimson as he stalked forwards. "Artemis…" He sang quietly. "Gonna give the big, bad wolf an answer...?"

Artemis faltered for a moment cringing at the way Lycaon said her name, like most males would. It was a bad idea though, for as soon as the huntress let down her guard, Lycaon jumped forward faster than even she could estimate, morphing into a wolf mid-air, and sprang through the clearing, bounding off into darkness.

"No!" Artemis screamed. She would not let him escape again. Not if he was going to bite the one chance this world had at survival, the one chance against the darkness. She sprinted forward, beckoning Zoë and Phoebe to her side, charging through the abundance of trees and thorns, stinging nettles and mud. Nothing would stop them; nothing would come in their way of getting to the mansion.

They sprinted through the woods, shooting stray arrows in case there was any sign of danger, all the while gaining speed, their legs aching.

"There!" shouted Zoe, pointing to a clearing with a ragged clothed man lying in a pool of blood. "There he is!" All three of them ran toward the man, shouting abuse, not even caring anymore for stealth. Suddenly Artemis stopped still, while the other two kept running. She felt a presence she hadn't felt for centuries.

"Uncle…" she whispered. "Sto-" A hand clamped around her mouth. She was pulled into the bushes, punching and kicking as she was dragged.

"Shh… Lady Artemis, it is alright." A feminine voice said. Mother, she thought suddenly. No not possible. "No, you are correct, milady, it is not your mother, Leto." A strikingly beautiful woman revealed herself, as she walked out of the shadows. She had long brown hair, sparkling blue eyes that seemed to change colour as she walked in and out of the shadows, and she smelled of chocolate and liquorice. An average mother, though something about her told artemis she was no ordinary mother. "My name is Sally Jackson."

Artemis' eyes widened. "As in… Percy Jackson?"

"Yes, he is my son, and your cousin."

"My… cousin?" her face was straight for a few moments when suddenly she gasped. "Is that… Is that why I could feel my uncle's presence… Lord Poseidon's presence?"

"Yes milady, now come." She beckoned to the clearing where Zoe and Phoebe were creeping around a seemingly unconscious Lycaon. "Your uncle is waiting."

Artemis, Zoë and phoebe were sat around a table in a large dining room, facing three people, two of them extremely important. Poseidon, king of the sea, and his son, the supposed saviour of Olympus, Percy. He didn't look much like a saviour yet though, sitting in his baby chair at the table, Sally spoon-feeding him from a jar that looked like the meat Lycaon would eat, while his father cooed over him.

Phoebe kept rolling up and down the sleeves of her silver parka, her nervous tic, while Zoe stared into space. Artemis picked at her food, roast lamb Poseidon had caught himself with his hunting dogs, and mashed potatoes. Artemis' comfort food. Somehow they had known and had prepared it for them coming. It was delicious, and usually Artemis would have absolutely devoured it, but for some reason it just didn't appeal to her tonight. Maybe I was to do with the fact her hunters hadn't showed up, even though they should have turned up before her, Zoë and phoebe. Or maybe it was to do with the fact Lycaon, king of the wolves and the Hunts arch enemy, was lying in a cell conjured by Poseidon in the next room. Probably that.

Apparently Lycaon had bounded straight into Poseidon's garden, luckily just as he was returning from a hunt with his dogs. The dogs had automatically smelled were-wolf blood and attacked him, as Poseidon watched. When they were done, he didn't see for any reason to attack more, in fear of killing him, so he was about to take him in when Artemis and her lieutenants charged towards them.

"So do you wish to speak to the mutt?" Poseidon asked, after sitting back down to his meal. "I can understand if you don't, the amount of violence he has caused your hunt."

Artemis swallowed and cleared her throat. "Lord Poseidon, if you wouldn't mind me asking, how is your son supposed to be the hero of Olympus if he is just a child?"

Poseidon laughed. "Well he'll have to grow up first, but in time and with enough training, he should be perfect."

"But, my love, I thought… I thought we were going to raise him and tell him when the time was right…?" It was Sally who had spoken, the first time she had spoken during the meal.

"Poseidon sighed. "We have been over this, Sally. He will not be prepared if we don't start training him when he's young."

"But what if that's the choice the prophecy speaks of, what if that's the life changing decision?"

"Sally, I have told you. It's not plausible, that would make the choice ours, not his, resulting him not being the chosen one, and the darkness winning. I will not discuss this while my niece I here, and I will not discuss it at all!"

Sally shrunk back in her seat, her eyes filling with tears. "I-I-I cannot do this tonight, Poseidon. Ill be off now…" She got up out of her seat and walked to the door flinging it open. Once it had shut, she started sobbing and Artemis could hear her footsteps running up the stairs. The sobbing was suddenly muffled as a door slammed upstairs.

Poseidon rose out of his seat, but was given a look by Zoë. "My lord, if I may, I have experience of abusive relationships. I can go speak to her, if I am permitted?"

The god was taken aback by the comment but sighed. "My permission is granted, Nightshade." He rose out of his seat and took the dishes to the kitchen.

Phoebe muttered something about a toilet break and rushed out of the room, leaving Artemis with the baby.

"Hello, little one." Artemis cooed as she walked over to the chair. The baby looked straight at her and smiled, giggling at her. "So you're the prophesised kid, huh?" She laughed, imagining this little child in full armour battling a giant. She ruffled Percy's hair. "I bet you'll be the best soldier out there."

Percy looked at her in confusion, a twinkle in his bright green eyes. "Ga… Ga...?" Artemis chuckled, how sweet.

The door opened at the bottom of the dining hall and Zoë stepped out. "Uh… Milady, Lycaon asked for you… He has one last request before you kill him. Shall I bring him through?"

Artemis sighed. She had been expecting this. "Sure, Zoë. Bring him through."

Five minutes later a handcuffed Lycaon walked through held by Zoe and Phoebe. He sneered at her. "Artemis, nice dinner I see." He licked his lips. "I will answer any questions, just as long as you complete my one request...?"

"It depends on the request, mutt. Bring him here." Unbeknown to her thought, he wanted to be as close to Percy as possible. "I have no questions, I just wish to kill you, but… I am curious about this final request, scum."

Lycaon grinned a sick smile. "Ahh… I see you are intrigued. All I wish is that you give this, hm, what do they call it, Kool-Aid? To Percy..." He beamed.

Artemis snorted. "In your dreams, mutt." Without her realising it, Lycaon began slowly edging Artemis as close to Percy as possible. "Like I would let the Saviour of Olympus drink anything you offered him." She grabbed the vial and smashed it on the floor, purple smoke drifting upwards. "I knew you had something weird in there."

Lycaon smiled slowly and offered his head. In one swift movement, Artemis sliced off his head, leaving him to explode into golden sand.

Outside, a whole pack of wolves howled in success, and sadness at the same time. Their leader had been killed, but a new one had been born. Soon, they all thought. Soon.

Hey guys, so... This is my first story, well actually, its not. For that one guy who read my story, if he ever finds this one he'll remember me as CamKa, so yeah... Not my first story, but oh well.

So basically, this story if you hadnt realise, is a sort of AU story, where Percy's part of Lycaons pack, and if you didnt realise, the potion was supposed to be smashed and it gave him more than just the usual werewolf powers, which youll see in the next chapter, but yeah.
