"If I Threw A Frisbee, Would You Catch It With Your Mouth?"

I don't know what possessed me to go back to the forest. There was just something in the back of my head urging me to come back.

It was stupid, but then again I do a lot of stupid things. I try being rational, but stupidity always wins over. It's a gift, really.

Anyway, I was back in the middle of the forest with absolutely no idea what I was doing.

But, hey, at least this time I was prepared in case a monster decided to attack. I kept my hand near my pocket where my pen was kept. It wasn't in the form of a  Stygian iron sword yet but it was still comforting to know I had it.

A shift in the atmosphere told me that I wasn't alone.

"I'm not going to hurt you, sweetie," Alecto muttered just as I held up my sword.

I didn't like the Furies -- they freak me out -- but they served my father. If they were here watching me it would be because my father sent them. And the fact that he sent Alecto meant that he wasn't too pleased with me at the moment.

"Why are you here? Did he send you to spy on me? Because you're doing a pretty bad job at spying," I said.

"Your father sent me to warn you. You're crossing a line here, getting involved with these mutts."

"You know about the wolves."

"He's been watching over you. You'd be doing him a favor by forgetting about them."

"I can't exactly forget that those things tried to kill me."

"Stupid girl," I heard her say. "You could kill them yourself. You've killed monsters before."

I scowled. I freeze one time and suddenly I'm branded as a coward. "Is there anything else you have to say to me? Am I ever going to learn more about those things?" Changing the subject was always a good thing to do when you don't want to deal with certain things.

"Lord Hades would appreciate it if you were to forget about them," she said.

I rolled my eyes. "You already told me that. Is it so hard to say 'no'?"

"Some things are not answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'," she replied and suddenly she was gone.

Well, that was some conversation we had right there. Instead of getting answers, I'm left wondering why my father doesn't want me to find out about them.

Confused and, well, distracted, I hadn't realized that someone was standing right beside me. I wonder what the Mist made my conversation with Alecto seem like. Did it look like I was some crazy person talking to a deer or something? Not that Alecto is as harmless as a deer but you never know with the Mist.

"You know, they say these woods are dangerous," the guy muttered.

I turned, startled when I heard the voice. I swear, this guy must have been blessed by Apollo because his voice was melodious. I mean, what great singer hasn't been gifted by the god of music?

"I've been here tons of times before," I said. "Besides, I can take care of myself."

He looked curious and took a step forward as if examing me like some kind of experiment.

All it took was that one step towards my direction for me to know that something was wrong. The feeling in my gut grew and I was sure that this guy was no ordinary mortal, if he even was mortal.

When I let myself really look at the guy, I noticed how pale his olive skin was. I tried to think back to where these details connect to.

"How are you so sure?" the guy questioned.

"Because I can," I replied, hopefully not sounding scared. If he was what I thought he was, then running would do me no good. Showing fear wasn't going to help me. It never does, really. It just makes a demigod an easier target.

My grip on my pen tightened, ready to wield my weapon in case the vampire tried anything.

A sound from the left caught my attention, and apparently the vampire's too.

Just when I thought things wouldn't get any worse, wolves emerged from the trees. Not just any wolves but the wolves I encountered before.

Forget about putting up a brave front; I started running for my life.

I didn't dare look back but I could hear something following me. Shadow-travel would have been the best way out of the situation but I couldn't risk it. I wasn't exactly thinking right and the last thing I wanted was to end up on the other side of the world.

And then I was at a dead end. As much as I wanted to get out of here, I couldn't. Call it stupid or whatever, but I realized my instincts weren't telling me to run. In fact, I was pretty sure the voice in my head (whoever you are, I'd appreciate it if you shut up though) was telling me to stay.

I was breathing heavily -- who wouldn't be after all that running, though? -- and I saw a wolf coming closer. The rational part of me -- I've only just realized it existed -- told me to run, but my legs didn't move. Actually, as the wolf made its way toward me, watching me, I felt myself relax.

If I was suddenly having a deep connection to animals, wolves specifically, then I think this was Lady Artemis' way of asking ne to join her Hunters. I'd love to say 'yes' -- I mean, who would refuse immortality? -- but the whole swearing off guys was quite a problen for me. Not that I had a certain guy in mind.

Oh gods, this is probably Mr. D's doing. I mean, it's crazy that I think I have some connection to a wolf. I was slowly losing my mind and Mr. D is to blame for this.

The wolf stopped moving, and I just stared at it.

"You're not going to hurt me, are you?" I asked and I could've sworn there was a hurt look in the wolf's eyes, as if it couldn't believe I would actually think it would hurt me.

Yup, Mr. D was at work here. It was the only explanation why I was feeling guilty for hurting a wolf's feelings.

"I know there are good monsters out there but there are also smart ones. How do I know you're not lying?" I questioned.

It did nothing for a moment but then walked off into the woods, disappearing in between the trees.

What the Hades is happening? I didn't move from my spot though I was completely confused.

Suddenly, a figurecame from the direction the wolf went. And it wasn't just some stranger.

"Embry?"

My best friend shot me a weak smile. "Hey, Lee."

My best friend just walked in front of me -- shirtless, might I add -- in place of the wolf that's been haunting me. I don't think I've ever felt as clueless as this since the day my mother told me I was a demigod.

"You've got some serious explaining to do," I said.

He nodded. "So do you," he muttered. "Starting with why you smell like a corpse. This isn't that bloodsucker's scent so it has to be yours."

I was about to say something alobg the lines of "You owe me an explanation first," but my mind registered his last statement.

"What do you mean I smell like a corpse? Excuse me, but I took a bath today. And every day, for your information."

He chuckled. "I didn't mean it like that," he defended.

"Well, it sure sounded like you did," I replied, crossing my arms.

"How about we go somewhere else and I'll explain to you everything," he suggested.

I nodded. "Sure," I responded. "But answer this one question first?"

"What?"

"If I threw a frisbee, would you try to catch it? Like, with your mouth?"

He rolled his eyes. "You're not funny, Lee," he muttered.

"Well, I thought I was so your opinion doesn't matter."

He pretty much just ignored me as I followed him. It was then that my mind really registered the facts. It hit me like a ton of bricks raining down on me.

My best friend was a werewolf.

Holy Hepheastus, help me gods. Mr. D better not be messing with me.

A/N:

Sorry if the chapter seems rushed. I wanted to post something so here it is. School's taking up so much of my time so I'm super sorry about my update schedule. You can't really expect me to update soon bc I run on Filipino time and 'soon' pretty much means the same thing as how 5SOS used to mean 'soon'. You know, before the album came out and they kept saying 'soon' but then the fam had to wait until 2014 for 'soon' to happen.

Off topic but I wanted to share: our project for english class is a play about Greek gods and I played the oracle and I wore a Camp Half-Blood shirt to practice and I'm just pretending I'm a daughter of Hades bc why not.

Also, since I can't contain my fangirl-ness: do any of you guys know the kpop group called BTS? My friend, who is a huge EXO fan, introduced me to them and now I'm like obsessed with BTS. Like, have you seen their choreography? I dunno. I just like guys who can dance. You guys should check 'em out. Their music video for 'Danger' is just... I love it. xD (video on the side --->)

Anyway, if you liked this chapter then leave a comment or vote or follow me if you like :)
