Dameions pov:

I awoke to darkness. Not the pitch black I can't see my hand in front of my face' darkness, but more of a bedroom type of darkness. I lifted myself off the cold floor and looked around.

'It seems to have dropped me off in a cave...' I thought to myself. I looked to my left and saw some clothes. 'Apparently someone knows I'm here.' I thought. I slipped on the jeans and the black t-shirt before walking towards the entrance of the cave. When I stepped outside I was blinded by bright sunlight causing me to blink and wait for my eyes to adjust.

"So your finally awake." A voice said to my right. I instinctively turned and pulled out riptide. I was about to click it when I saw that it was Artemis. I sighed and put the pen in my pocket.

"What was that?" Artemis asked.

"Nothing you need to worry about; but since your here, my job is now ten times easier." I said.

"Oh? And how's that boy?" She asked.

"Now, I don't have to find you in order to complete our deal." I said. "Now if you'll be so kind as to remove my curse I'll be happy to leave." I said with a smile.

"Ummm... No. I don't think so wolf boy." She said. My smile faded.

"Why is that "oh" hunter?" I said seriously.

"Because you have yet to tell us where Percy is. If you tell me, I will let you go." Artemis said. My face turned into a scowl.

"I told you, he's dead." I said. She put her arms on her hips.

"Then your story's are conflicting. Because you say he's dead now, but when we were on Olympus you said that he told you his location, if he was needed. So, which is it?" She asked starring at me.

"I already told you. Also, I gave information on him as our deal specified goddess. Uphold your end and release me from my curse!" I shouted angrily. At this Artemis pulled out her bow and pointed it at me.

"Remember who you are talking to boy!" She said angrily.

"AND YOU GODDESS REMEMBER THAT WITHOUT MY HELP YOU WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN KNOWN WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!" My anger turned into rage. "YOU SHOULD ALSO REMEMBER YOUR PACT! NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE CURSE AND LET ME GO FREE, BUT YOU HAVE TO LET ME GO SAFELY UNLESS YOU WANT TO GO TO TARTURUS!" I was screaming in rage at the goddess. At this point I didn't care what she did as long as she either freed me or went to Tartarus for breaking her pact with me. She was silent for ten minutes before she smiled in triumph.

"You want me to uphold my end of the deal? Fine." She then started talking in Ancient Greek really quickly. I could only catch some pieces such as: Hunt, free, curse, bound, Dameion Orthwrite, time, Perseus Jackson, found. Upon the final word a silver light came out of my chest and flew to the goddess.

I smiled thinking that I was free until I felt a burning sensation around my neck. I gripped my neck and coughed. I felt as if I was being choked. "You can't harm *coughs* me. Our pact *coughs* forbids it!" I said as I coughed again.

"Our pact states that I will free you from your curse and let you go for your cooperation. You would have to in return give us information and his location to me. I have received information but not a location, so you will be stuck at my camp until you lead us to Percy." She said triumphantly.

"And if I refuse?" I asked.

"Well we will just see how long until Styx claims your soul for not cooperating." She said with a smile.

"So I can't leave then right?" I asked.

"Oh no you can leave, but the farther and longer away you are from us the more draw you will feel to come back." She said.

With that I changed to wolf form and took off into the woods not even looking back.

Annabeth pov:

The rest of the day was uneventful. The horn sounded for dinner after Kristina challenged Zain. The whole time through dinner all I hear is the fight that is supposed to take place tomorrow.

After dinner we had our standard campfire with the Apollo cabin leading in the sing along and the fire was extra bright and really orange. I looked around and saw laughing and happy campers from all the cabins except for 2 of them. Each only holding one camper. I got up and started walking toward the cabins when some one stopped me.

"Annabeth? Where are you going?" I turned around and saw that it was only Malcolm.

"Oh, hey Malcolm. I was going to head off to bed, I'm kinda tired." I said. He only nodded his head.

"Stay safe." He said before turning around and walking toward the fire.

I turned and started walking back towards my cabin when a strong breeze blew carrying the scent of the sea... 'Seaweed brain' I thought as I smelled the air. The scent of the sea brought back so many memories that I started to cry.

'He's not coming back... He's pretty much dead' I thought to myself. I walked the last few yards to my cabin where I broke down and cried. I continued to cry before I heard a song start to play:

Sarabeth is scared to death

To hear what the doctor will say

She hasn't been well

Since the day that she fell

And the bruise, it just won't go away

I got up and looked around my cabin and saw nothing that would play the music I was hearing. I walked outside my cabin and the music got louder.

So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad

Flips through an old magazine

Till the nurse with a smile

Stands at the door

And says will you please come with me.

I continue to walk to the sound of the music. As I continue walking I see a bunch of cabins and a small light behind a cabin that is a very dull gray. Like a tombstone. It had red roses around it and in the windows were bars like a jail. The door was made of oak wood with a cross above it and Greek words saying "Death eventually takes all. Beware all who enter." Were in red on the door itself. Although the cabin intrigued me I was not here to gaze at it as the music continued.

Sarabeth is scared to death

Cause the doctor just told her the news

Between the red cells and white

Something's not right

But we're gonna take care of you

I followed the music behind the cabin believing that a Apollo camper was responsible.

Six chances in ten it won't come back again

With the therapy were gonna try

It's just been approved

It's the strongest there is

I think we caught it in time

I continued until I came upon Nico and Zain sitting at a fire pit and Nico was talking.

"I'm telling you that he can't be dead. He is not in the underworld." He said looking at Zain who had his back to me. I heard no reply as Nico continued. "It's not possible to be dead but not in the underworld. So where is he?" He asked.

I stood there and waited but heard nothing. I was about to move forward when I noticed that Zain wasn't wearing his normal ninja garb. He was in what looked like a t-shirt. He wore no hood so I saw his blonde hair. The music continued as I tried to make out what Zain looked like.

Sarabeth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancing

Around and around without any cares

And her very first love is holding her close

And the soft wind is blowing her hair

It was really hard to make anything out so i took a step forward. As soon as I did there was a loud crunch. Zain stood up and bolted to the woods.

"Zain! Don't- damn it!" Nico said as he looked to me. "You couldn't have waited five more minutes before moving into the circle?" He asked.

"What circle? I don't see a-" I started to say before I look down and see that I'm standing on the inside of a wide circle of dead grass.

Sarabeth is scared to death

As she sits holding her mom

Cause it would be a mistake

For someone to take

A girl with no hair to the prom

"Where is that music coming from? It's really sad." I asked as I looked at Nico. His expression turned to sadness.

"The music comes from his iPod... What's today's date?" He asked. I looked at him curiously. "It's the 27 of April." I said. He then started chuckling.

For, just this morning right there on her pillow

Was the cruelest of any surprise

And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands

The proof that she couldn't deny

"What's so funny and could you shut that off." I said. He just shook his head.

"No. I can't. And the reason for the fake laughter, if you could tell the difference, is because I should have known why he was listening to that song." There was a pause and the music continued.

Sarabeth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancing

Around and around without any cares

And her very first love was holding her close

And the soft wind is blowing her hair

Its quarter to seven

That boys at the door

And her daddy ushers him in

And when he takes off his cap

They all start to cry

Cause this mornin where his hair had been

Softly she touches just skin

And they go dancin

Around and around without any cares

And her very first true love is holding her close

And for a moment she isn't scared

I start to feel tears come to my eyes. "Why?... Why would someone listen to a song like this?" I asked Nico as I wiped a tear from my face.

"It's a long story." Nico said.

"I've got time." I replied.

Artemis pov:

As soon as he left I flashed into my tent at my camp. I sat down on my queen bed and sighed.

'He'll be back. He will come back.' I thought before I drifted off to sleep.

I was awoken some hours later to the sound of screaming. My eyes snapped open and Elizabeth came into my tent. She had blood on the side of her face.

"Malady! We are under attack!" She said while breathing heavily.

"What is attacking us?" I demanded as I strung my bow.

"Lycone and his pack as well as a hand full of Cyclopes's."(imagine five Cyclopes together) I sighed.

"Of course it had to be now. Let's go." I said. We stepped outside to a raging battle. Five of my hunters were engaging two of the Cyclopes's, three of my hunters were surrounded by werewolves, Thalia was taking on a Cyclopes by herself, Phobe and ten other hunters were battling the last two Cyclopes's and about seven wolves, and the rest of my hunters were engaging lycone and the rest of his pack. Elizabeth and I jumped into the fray.

We kept shooting arrows and taking out lycones forces left and right, but for every one we killed another seemed to take its place. It was becoming apparent that we were going to be overrun. Lycone laughed.

"Give it up hunters! You can't win!" Lycone said.

"Never! You stupid mutt!" I shouted as I shot another werewolf in the head. Lycone growled in response.

Just then there was a crack of thunder and lightning streaked down and hit the cyclops that Thalia was fighting. He crumbled into a hill of gold dust. Thalia turned to the nearest group of hunters and helped them. Although there was no cyclops reinforcements, there seemed to be no end to the amount of werewolves. The battle raged on for what seemed like hours (maybe one hour or so), and in that time we managed to kill off all but one of the Cyclopes's and hundreds of werewolves.

Unfortunately more just took there place and our strength was dwindling. We already lost three hunters as well as ten of them being injured or fatally wounded.

'If this doesn't end soon we will all die.' I thought as I killed another mutt with a arrow. Five minutes later I ran out of arrows and switched to my knives. I plunged into the fight slicing and hacking as I try to kill them all.

Then there was a howl. The howl wasn't like a normal howl. This one was loud and seemed to scare the werewolves. Every one froze. Then there was a yell as the last cyclops burst into gold dust. In the center was a wolf.

"What do you think you are doing you fool! You just killed the last cyclops!" Lycone said. The wolf turned toward lycone and growled before charging him. "Ha! I am your king! You can't touch my without permission!" Lycone said as he lifted his hand like it would stop the charging wolf. The wolf stood on two legs as he got close, he sank his claws in lycones stomach. Lycones face had a look of shock on it. "How?" Lycone croaked. The wolf then grabbed lycones throat before jerking it to the right breaking it. The wolf dropped lycones body then howled. The force and sound of the howl struck fear into me and caused the werewolves to back off and bow before him.

He then barked and growled a few times and the pack left except for a single werewolf who transformed into a human. He continued to bow before the werewolf before he stood and faced me.

"His majesty would like to tell you that Dameion will be back in charge once his blood lust has gone down. He says that he will go hunt and asks that you leave a tent for him. He also says that the pack will no longer attack you but aid if you ask."

He then turned back to the werewolf and bowed. "All hail Dameion, the werewolf king!" Before he transformed into a wolf and ran off.

Dameion then turned and ran in the opposite direction.
