Percy POV
We had already finished eating. I gave an excuse to both Annabeth and Will. I told them that I feel a little a little tired and I wanted to have a little rest before we get going. Annabeth insisted on coming with me, but I told her to sit with Will and plan how their way home will be. Will nodded smiling, but Annabeth was frowning. I know she doesn't believe me, but she just nodded staring at me as I walked away from them. I needed some time away from Annabeth. I couldn't control myself when I'm around her. If I was just a normal werewolf it would have been easier. I would have smelled her scent a little lesser, but I'm the alpha now… it's very hard to control my feelings now. I didn't want her to now… because I know she would increase the feeling more.
When I was far enough from their sight I walked behind a tree and took my clothes off. I looked if anyone was out there now before walking out naked. No one was there. I started to jog before I started to run my full speed. My bones started to crack and less than a minute I was in my black wolf.
Wait… I shouldn't have changed. Annabeth can hear me when my bones crack. Whatever! Before she can catch up to me, I started to run a different route.
I past couple of trees and jumped over a log which had fell to a storm. I felt better when I was this far from her, but I also wanted to go back. I couldn't stay that far from her or I will lose her scent and it would be hard for me to trace it back.
I continued running until I was sure that I can stop now. I couldn't change into my human form cause I didn't have my clothes, so I just found a tree which, had lots of branches, to sit underneath it. I wasn't tired of running, but I just wanted to sit here and observe this place before Annabeth finds me. It was beautiful alright…
I saw a stream down the mount into a beautiful lake. There were varies types of flowers everywhere which brightened the mood at the place. I saw 2 rabbits hopping on each other playfully. It was so cute. My stomach grumbled, but I couldn't eat those little creatures even though Luke is keeping on pushing me to go eat them. I took over my wolf's brain, so I was controlling it now.
I rested my head on my paws gazing up at the sky. I swear I saw a cloud that totally looked like me and Annabeth. There was something else as well in the image. It looked so complicated… just like Annabeth would like… Maybe Annabeth can solve this image, but I don't know if I'm ready to go back to her right now. I don't know if I can keep Luke from tackling her to the ground…
I grinned as a mental image of me tackling Annabeth to the ground popped into my head. I never saw Annabeth vulnerable. She is strong and won't give up. I can always see the strength in her eyes when she is ready to battle someone. I sound like a stalker, but back then I couldn't stop looking at her. If you are wondering, I didn't fall in love with her because she was so beautiful and she would always wear dresses every day. Heck no. Annabeth hates wearing dresses. I would always see her wearing jeans that are ripped by her knee and a shirt that would be twice her size. She would always wear a look that said "Come near me. I will rip you to tiny pieces, but it doesn't matter. Just come on." Back then, I would go around giving a parcel of food and deliver it to every poor family. That's when I met Annabeth. Her mother was rubbing medicine on Annabeth arm. There were lots of bruises. She didn't even wince at all. I was so stunt to see her here because I heard that Annabeth's father was the alpha and all. Annabeth saw me entering. She stood up grabbing a knife in her hand. Her mother pulled her back. I could see that she realized who I was. I saw fire in Annabeth's eyes that time. Her mother explained who I was to her. She nodded quietly, but the fire was still in her eyes. I gave her mother the parcel still looking at her. Her eyes didn't meet me that time. Since then I would always go to deliver food to her family even if I was a little sick which was rare. I also saw how she was in battle with someone else. It looked like her eyes were on fire. She won't miss any hit. I was so surprised right then. I stared at her, behind a tree, until her opponent was lying on the ground and wouldn't get up. I tried to hide before she saw me, but I got caught. She pointed at me to come toward her. I hesitated for a second before walking toward her. She challenged to fight me. I disagreed with her. I didn't want both of us hurt, but she was forcing me into it, so I agreed to go against her. It was fun a little, but I got hurt a lot of times. Both of us lost. No one won. That was the funny part. After that, Annabeth would smile a little when she passed me…
I smiled as I started to remember the past. It was so beautiful and fun back then. I think I'm ready to go back now. I miss cuddling with my little Moon Goddess.
The rabbits were already gone. I got up and looked to both sides sniffing for Annabeth's scent. I caught it less than a second. I started to run the way I came back. I had so much to tell Annabeth when I see her.
