Chapter 8

Warning bad material ahead...skip to bold double lines if you want to avoid it.

I knocked a few times on the wooden door and heard some shuffling inside before a man with a bald head and a drunken figure opened the door. My he was ugly, almost worse than Gabe, but not quite there. He was fat and as he spoke he had a twisted German-American accent and I heard a whimper to my right past the door. His gaze hardened a little at the noise but he didn't do anything.

"Hello I think you may have gotten a call about fixing something earlier. Sorry it took so long to come by," I went with my gut and if that turned out to be a bust this guy loses his head and I get to enter anyways.

"Ah yes, you must be the plumber that I asked for a little while ago about fixing my sink," I smiled making him think that I was and when I stepped in I knew that something was wrong.

First there was a thin barrier that shattered under my aura, and while the man did twitch I don't think he noticed. Second just looking around the entrance of the place unnerved me, there was a white curtain over the middle of the living room and I felt something trembling seemingly stuck in place on the other side.

Trembling from fear. It was thick in the air around this area and the musk in the air didn't do anything to calm my increasing anger. This better not look as it smells.

I walked to the sink and looked around before discretely using my powers and taking a towel hanging nearby to wipe down the sink before stepping back while he examined it and talking about him needing 'new' pipes. He left me alone and went back to the living room before I heard tape being undone and a whimper and I realized someone was kept behind the curtains. I extended my powers to all the rooms and I felt a boy on he floor unconscious breathing labored and pained, kept in a locked room. I stood and walked towards he hall, but he stopped me.

"What are you doing back there?" He said

"I have to check all of your pipes and sinks before being able to leave. It's company policy I'm sorry that I didn't let you know before." I said and he hummed suspiciously stepping aside as I entered the next bathroom. He started to seem like he wanted to tell me something he shouldn't. I stopped and looked at him curiously, and they seemed to be all the approval he needed.

"Hey come here I want to show you something before get to work again. Hey maybe it'll help you relax a little, surely your line of work is hard. I'll pay extra if you decide to help with my other problem." He said and I followed him confused.

He went to the main room the front door was near before stepping behind the curtain covering the room. After a second of shuffling, muffled cursing, and a few silent moments. He opened to curtain for me.

There was a trembling, naked Amelia sitting with her legs spread open and her face looking horrified at what I or he might do. I snapped.

My aura had come out in full force and there were knives in the mans shoulders the next second. I used my aura to burn away the tape over her mouth and rid her skin of this man's lust.

I made my aura comforting for her as it burned everything away. I snapped my fingers and she had clean clothes on her, covering every part of her. She looked at me with shock and slight awe as I moved toward the man starting to stand once more. I controlled the blood in his body and broke his back, arms, and legs before covering him in permanent burns. Then I flooded his brain with his own blood andj made him comatose.

"Were are you hurt?" I asked and she nodded, "Did he take advantage of you?" Another nod and I grit my teeth in anger.

"How long has he been doing this to you?" I asked as calmly as I could and her voice came out broken and coarse, "Think with the intent of speaking. You don't need to verbally say anything."

She was silent for a moment before thinking three months. I was ready to rip out the man's entire spinal column but I asked her if he had finished in her to which she shook her head.

I was planning to let Artemis take the memories and pain of this experience from her mind later when I returned. It was not my place or right to examine her from inside so I altered my aura to put calm her down so she could recover and sleep in peace. I kept my soothing aura continuously flowing through her to keep anything from invading her rest.

————————————————————————————————————————————

I looked over at the crippled creature with my and I growled melting the knives inside of him till he had a large black spot of melted silver to the point where it couldn't be reused. Then I ripped out those pieces of metal with my powers and left him with no muscle mass from the skin to the bone. I used my aura to pick up Amelia with a flat disc of Solid Fire and made my way over to where I knew Daniel was. I opened the door and lent to the left as a sword came cutting through the air. He waited for a moment before narrowing his eyes.

"What did you do to my sister?" he growled pointing his newly attained blood red sword at me. I was surprised that he actually looked like he knew how to use it.

"I didn't do anything but heal her wounds and help her rest. As for that creature who was using her I am going to do plenty of things to once you two are safe. On a side-note do you actually know how to use that?"

"I know enough to wipe the floor with you," He growled and I grinned, "well then brother show me what you got."

Daniel rushed at me with the sword held much to tightly, and I just stepped to the side and poked his shoulder. With enough force to send him through the wall I might add.

He came at me a few more times before eventually settling to cursing and growling like a wild animal. I rolled my eyes and let my aura wash over him, his wounds were healed in an instant and I returned most of his energy.

"Do you want to keep your memories of this, or-" I began and he nodded.

"I need these memories as a reminder to stay strong and prevail," he said, "He beat me unconscious every night and locked me in here making me listen to her scream in pain as he-"

"I've heard enough" I said, "To think the Cyclopes said he swore to protect you and yet he isn't even here to prevent your abuse. Yes there was a barrier keeping the lower monsters from entering, but that no excuse when he has had you outside of the house plenty of times." I growled.

"I am gonna have to talk to him about that later," I said and walked to the front door with Daniel following behind. I felt the shadows condense and three Hellhounds jumped out. Daniel wasn't going to be fast enough and I had pulled out a sword to deal with them as they all advanced on me.

"Banner, Rachet, Harmoon. Stop," he said and the three hounds froze before sitting down still glaring at me. The Cyclopes looked at Amelia as she floated out of the front door, a chain of fire connecting the bottom of her platform to the disgraceful creature as it was dragged from the house by the throat.

"I was too late," he said and I nodded growling at him angrily, "You've been too late for the past three months. You should've taken them and ran the first chance you got." I roared in his face and the hounds whimpered at the knowledge that there was an alpha before them. An Alpha that they had challenged not five minutes before.

I grabbed the Cyclopes by the throat before throwing him through the very house I had pretty much already destroyed. Then I shifted and split the bottom of Amelia's resting platform so that the chain was no longer connected to her, but a different smaller disc I could use to drag the man behind us . Then I looked at Daniel and the dogs.

"If you want to come and see your father, climb onto my back, otherwise I will have to kidnap you." I said and he scoffed

"It's not like you're giving me a choice here," he mumbled and I ignored him.

"You four are welcome to follow...you know where I am going," I said and the hounds nodded but the Cyclopes looked lost. The dogs  jumped into my shadow and disappeared and I looked at Daniel whilst crouching.

He nodded saying he wanted to come with anyways no matter what and climbed on. As soon as the Cyclopes was behind him I stood back up and shot off, the sleeping lady and the scum of a human following close behind.

First I was off towards Camp-Half Blood, telling Daniel about the mythical world he now lived in and the strange things that were probably to happen. The things that we could run into, and the warning to be careful who you befriend. Then I told him who he and Amelia's father was and he was shocked that they were related, saying aloud that he had just though she was a distant cousin or something.

"I knew there was a reason I was drawn to protect her," he's said and I told them what they could both do and that their father was a Primordial and had passed his domain down onto me.

"Wait so your our half brother, and a Primordial?" He asked and I nodded, "cool" was all I heard afterwards in his awe of the thinks I told him was true.

"Wait so what are your powers? Like what are you the god of, and where are we going again?" He yelled and I growled shaking my head in annoyance.

"I am planning on dropping you off at a camp called Camp Half-Blood and then I am going to  have Artemis see if anything is wrong with your sister internally and restore her if possible, but there's a catch." I stopped looking at him.

"If she wakes up and Artemis gives her the offer to join her hunt, and she says yes I will need you to stow your tears and stay strong for her. Just be a good brother and let her live her own life. I doubt that she's going to want to be with men after what's happened to her." I just realized that I was talking with my wolf voice and I didn't feel him get uncomfortable when I spoke. He shifted and I felt him pat my fur of my neck. The Cyclopes behind him looked uncomfortable at the mention of the Huntresses but I didn't care about what he thought. He should he just as dead as this creature barely hanging on to life behind us.

"I'll let her go if she says yes, but if she is hesitant because of me tell her that I am fine with whatever she chooses and will always love her. Your going to have to explain everything as you just did for me so she knows what she is getting herself into."

I nodded, I was already planning to it the other girls were not going to. The rest of the run was silent until we arrived at the border of camp and I stopped at the barrier. He hopped off and went to enter but I stopped him for a moment.

"Beware they will probably ridicule and mistreat you because of your father, but don't acknowledge any of it, unless unavoidable," I said and he put a foot in the barrier before running back and hugging my chest.

"I want you to come with me, you've already done so much for us, and I have no way to repay you for it." He said and I tucked my head behind his back to mimic a hug.

"I am sorry but I don't exactly have a good history with this place and now that I've changed I don't even know if I will be let through by the barrier. If you ever get lonely, you have your Hell-hounds, for some reason ones with a relationship with a Demigod kid can get past the barrier. You can have one of them find me if absolutely necessary and I guarantee that I will be there in time. Plus there are three of them that's surely much better than one wolf."

He seemed reluctant but nodded and walked through the barrier. I watched him get claimed as a small group came up to him and toured him around the others not even noticing the giant wolf standing just past the barrier. I turned and sniffed the air before shooting off  in the direction of Artemis' scent with Amelia trailing behind. When the two were better and I was able to comfortably bring them home without them being negatively effected by the place I would finish my mission and they'd meet their father.

Thanks for reading. This turned out much better than I had originally thought that it would. Thank you for reading this far and don't worry. I will have the five new chapters I promised y'all for hitting 100k views out soon.

Just have to fix this mess.

Anyways please let me know if it was too much or good enough to leave alone.  (For those that read through the first part).

Revised: 2-28-22

See y'all next chappie.
