Chapter 1

Percy's POV

I opened my eyes and looked around in the darkness thinking that I was still in that forest, I mean I could smell the creatures, and...Wait smell. I looked down and tried to see if I could see if there was anything wrong with my body, but I couldn't feel my body...at all. Then light flooded the room and I had to close my eyes as it flooded my vision. I slowly opened them and a figure blocked out the light, and I saw the green grass, and yellow light of the sun outside of the tent, and then I saw the eyes.

"Oh. Lycaon" I had to admit I was a little disappointed "what did you do to me"

"What? You come to me, you have to accept my terms" he said and I narrowed my eyes in annoyance and he growled a challenge to stop or he'd do something very evil...other than what he's already done that I can't feel or see yet, "but otherwise you came to me for a reason, so ask away"

"I was coming to ask you for death because I have nothing else to live for. My friends are dead, as is my family, and I have been declared a traitor against the gods" I said looking him in the eyes hoping that he'd accept, and he just smiled wider than possible.

"No" he said and my world shattered, "I will not give you death because you cannot die now, being blessed by lady Styx and her sisters. Plus the fact that I have bitten you already, and I don't want a powerful werewolf to suffer because of some betrayal...especially my strongest one."

My heart dropped and I looked down as he stepped aside to let the light fully enter the tent to see bites all over my body. The blood hid them well, but I could tell where they were, my waist, legs, arms, shoulders, and he had carved something into my chest.

He left the tent, left me in darkness, and I screamed. I screamed in rage that I had trusted that he'd kill me, after all I was his second biggest nemesis. I screamed in anguish that I would have to live forever, never to step foot in the Elysium and see my Annabeth. I screamed in horror that I would turn into a monster, and then I ripped my hands from the straps holding them down, and I tore off the ones holding my throat, body, and legs to the table, and I fell off onto the ground. I could feel my body starting to return to normal, and that's when the pain hit me.

It felt worse than the Styx, multiplied infinitely as I felt it in my very being. I blacked out as the pain reached my heart and mind, and the last thing I saw was the sliver of light outside of the tent. When I woke up again I was in silver chains that burned my skin, I couldn't feel the burning, but I could feel my body again, and i realized that I must've changed along with the pain because it was gone. I looked around for a body of water, and I saw a small puddle at my feet, and I bent my head to look down into it and I realized that I could see perfectly fine in the dark. I got enough time to study that my hair had gotten darker, my teeth sharper, and my features more prominent before I was whacked on the head again.

3rd POV

Lycaon gave Percy enough time to study his face and then he knocked him out, it was going to be fun torturing him on and off every day for many many years until he broke. Then one of his wolves cried out in pain and then more, and more until there was an entire camp full of monster dust. Lycaon roared in anger as a silver arrow came to rest in-between his feet and he started forwards only for ten more arrows to come at him faster than he could react, and he dodged a couple caught a few and dropped them due to the silver, and then one entered his chest, and then he was stabbed from behind and he howled before crumbling to dust.

The hunters smiled at their triumph, and they went through the camp to check to see if any stragglers escaped their raid, and they were about to leave when there was a crash, and the smell of burning skin. There was also a bucket-load of cursing from where the crash was, and Thalia diverted her path to check it out. She eventually came to a single tent, and it was pitch black inside. She made an electric ball of light float to the middle of the room and it illuminated a torturing table on the person attached to it face-down on the floor with it crushing them against the ground.

Percy stopped struggling as soon as Thalia's shoes came into his vision, and he sighed in defeat.

"You know what, you've already ruined my life Lycaon, so just get on with whatever torture you are planning on doing to break me, so that you can what? Build me back up in your envisioning" Percy growled and Thalia was confused, who was this male, and how did Lycaon relate to him.

"Wait. Lycaon can't wear silver, is that you Artemis" he said suddenly hopeful, and Thalia used her foot and she pushed his table to it's side and she gasped at the amount of still bleeding bite-marks he had all over his body, and he seemed to be shocked as well, but it wasn't from the pain, but it was from the fact that he saw that Thalia was alive, alive and well.

"You're alive" he whispered and his face was full of hope and thankfulness "I thought that I was the only one that survived"

Thalia didn't recognize Percy anymore: his hair was a darker black, his eyes were pitch black, due to his blessing from the five rivers of the underworld, his nails were sharp, ember-red, and the tips of his fingers ended with long talon-like claws, not nails. Thalia went from the tent and called over Artemis and everyone else, and when she got over, Artemis went inside and looked at Percy and his eyes widened.

"Artemis...Why did you want to help me?" he said as she aimed an arrow at his face, and it came to her. This wasn't a filthy male that wanted her hunters for his own purposes, this was Percy, but he'd changed so much.

"Percy?" she said lowering her bow, and everyone gasped, and Percy tilted his head from side-to-side.

"Hmmm maybe. Of coarse its me Arty, I've heard what Apollo calls you, and I actually think Arty suits you as a perfect nickname" Artemis growled in annoyance, but not at Percy, at Apollo for spilling her family nickname.

"Yep, that's Percy" she said and Thalia was about to unstrap him and let him free when Artemis told her to stop "Thalia I don't want you to touch him yet, Zeus doesn't know he's still alive, and he would be able to through you"

"Wait, what?" Percy said "what do you mean Zeus thinks that I'm dead?" Percy yelled in disbelief and slight annoyance.

"Well once you were cast out of our world, Zeus figured that you'd die within three hours or so due to your fatal flaw destroying you, and after that had passed he gave us a mission to kill Lycaon's forces quickly, as he feared you would become a Werewolf to get back at the other gods.

Percy sighed, of coarse Lightning-butt would think that he had gotten himself killed within three hours, and it was actually true. Percy had gotten a werewolf's attention and he'd gotten it to bring him to Lycaon thinking that the old wolf would just end him there and then, but nooo he had to turn him himself, and think that he could brainwash Percy.

"Well it's not a lie" Percy slumped from his side-ways position on the table "I thought that you were dead along with the others Thalia, and I still don't know if they are actually gone either" a tear fell from his eye and onto the ground and he subconsciously used his powers to evaporate the liquid. This caught Artemis' attention.

"You still have your demi-god powers?" she said and Percy seemed confused

"Yeah, why?" he said and Thalia went forwards and undid Percy's restraints and he fell to the ground with an oomph and then he quickly got up and wiped himself off.

"We thought that Poseidon took away your powers when he had to forcefully disown you" she said and Percy shrugged

"Well yeah I did feel something tugging on them but it didn't take them away from me, and don't ask me why because I have no idea why" he drenched Thalia just for show, and in return she sent a ball of lightning to electrocute him in response.

He glared at her, and she at him. Then Percy sighed accepting the fact that it was deserved, but he still wondered why he hadn't received a harsher---she decided that time to send an entire strike of lightning into him and he growled as the pain as three million volts of electricity went through him. The three went outside and Percy was met with a face-full of arrow loaded bows, all aimed at him.

He put his hands in the air and one was let loose towards his chest, but Artemis vaporized it with a flick of her wrist and a flash in her eyes before it got even a foot towards it's target.

"Girls this is Percy Jackson, or what's left of him anyways" she said and Percy slowly lowered his hands as the girls rested their bows and arrows.

"The Percy Jackson?" one asked and Artemis nodded "I thought that he was killed by the gods"

"No he was actually banished from the island and both camps along with our sacred grounds" Artemis said making Percy wince at the remembrance of his prolonged oath.

"What happened to him, why does he look like that?" another asked and this was one that Artemis couldn't answer, so she, along with everyone else, looked at Percy for an explanation.

"When I came to in an alley by my parent's apartment, I had gone up and I'd found a barrier around their house preventing the stench of death from stinking up the halls. Because of Gaea.

She had sent a earthen spike through all of them, and encased them in earth. Then when she turned to stone, they turned to stone as well, freezing them in their happy, untouched memory of life that I wasn't a part of" Percy looked at the ground sadly, "so after calling the cops, leaving an email and a note for them. I left and wandered into the forest hoping that a werewolf would pick-up my trail, and I was lucky because one did.
Then I asked it to bring me to Lycaon because I figured that he'd take pleasure in killing me after how many of his wolves I had killed during the war, but he didn't. He just strapped me to a table and bit me all over to make me a full-blooded werewolf, and now the last of them since the others had faded to the Styx on an oath that they didn't get to keep"

"How do you know that?" Phoebe came forwards

"I can feel it thanks to my now immortal connection to the wolves, and Lycaon" Percy growled angrily and then Artemis did something that no one expected. She got a silver ball of energy ready and asked for Percy's attention and once he was looking over he froze.

"Why do you have a ball of power in your hands?" he said and then it seemed to snap.

"You want to bless me?" he asked and she shrugged

"You're the only decent male in this planet, and you have earned me and my hunts respect, right girls" they all cheered their opinion aloud, " so do you accept my blessing"

"I mean I guess so, but--" Artemis didn't wait for the rest as she just threw the ball into Percy and he growled in pain, and then the changes came. His black hair gained streaks of silver, his nails turned silver as well, the pupil of his eyes turned silver, and his teeth also became silver. He looked at his nails and then summoned a mirror and he saw his teeth, and then his mind wandered.

"If I have silver teeth, then does that mean I have to use anti-rust cleaner on them instead of toothpaste?" he asked Artemis and she along with the girls groaned and everyone walked away with Thalia mumbling, "that's mush for brains alright"

"MUSH FOR BRAINS?!" Percy screeched and Thalia grinned as he walked up to her, "really you couldn't go with anything else"

"No I could not" she said and then Artemis came to the back and walked in sync with Percy and Thalia, on Thalia's side. "You know Percy that since you aren't a demi-god anymore, you don't have Demigod problems, like Dyslexia, or monsters trying to kill you every day. And that's why I am deciding that you will be going to school posing as a regular human" at this Percy froze and groaned in anguish before jogging back up to them and Thalia snickered.

"You're going too Thalia" she said and Percy snickered this time as Thalia's face twisted into shock and disgust getting him a small shock on the shoulder when she punched him playfully.
