I really like the way this new Percy is coming out. I find him comical and playful. I hope you guys are liking him too.
Ares’ P.O.V. "Okay it's a mal curse placed by a great witch." Lucy held a proud gleam in her eyes, happy to have figured it out. Her face dropped quickly as she realized the news was bad. "Breaking this curse is like a two step process. A ridiculously hard, two step process, that I won't be able to help with either. You'll need a great witch to break the curse. Only a great witch's magic can break another great witch's magic." "Okay. We can deal with that when the time comes. What's the two step process?" Ember asked, a look of deep determination set on her face. I don’t know why, but I wasn’t as panicked as I probably should be. I think it might be this bracelet that dad got me, or maybe the clover’s luck. I felt oddly happy. I saw how many people were here jumping to help the moment they heard the news. Lucy and I didn’t know each other that well, yet she came here in her large pregnant state to help me. "The first is removing the power of the great witch from the curse. There
“I’m not a sea witch.” Nova protested, scowling at the shark, not being the least bit intimidated. Shadows, seeing her be so fearless only has me falling deeper for her. “You smell like a bruja.” The shark remarked. “I’m not a witch.” Nova snapped back. I forget she can speak Spanish thanks to Toni. “You smell like one.” His raspy voice made it sound like he had eaten glass before coming here. I didn’t like the way he tried to intimidate her earlier. He was too close and I wanted to beat the shi.t out of him, but I knew I was at a disadvantage in the water. “What’s your problem, man. She’s not a sea witch!” I yelled at the shark, flailing my arms around. The shark shifted, looking more siren than shark now. His eyes adjusted to a dark stormy gray as his black shaggy hair fell to his collarbone. “Sorry I have really poor vision in my shark form. I could smell the scent of sea witch on you, and came to investigate. Especially since I smelled royal blood nearby too.” He explained
Jesse’s P.O.V.“Come walk with me?” Percy looked up at me from his now clean plate. I don’t know how he’s able to eat so much and still stay so fit. I’m one to talk though. I ate just as much as he did, if not more.“Um, yeah, okay.” I shrugged, not really caring either way. A walk after all this food sounded just right though.Percy got up, leading the way to the river that runs through the pack lands. He knows how much I like listening to rushing water over rocks. The sun was high in the sky, barely past one o’clock now. I closed my eyes, focusing on the feeling of the breeze against my skin. Despite it being summer, the breeze was cool."You're very beautiful, Jesse." I opened my eyes to find a smiling Percy just staring at me."Don't be weird." I raised a brow at him, taking the lea
Nova's P.O.V.We'd spent most of the afternoon at the pack lands, playing lawn games, participating in races and watching all out brawls. It was a great way to spend our time. I personally was glad that Percy thought of inviting us here. The moon festival seemed like fun and it was apparently a full week thing. Although, it gets a little too rated R for me on the last day.It's when all unmated wolves participate in the hunt if they want. The males chase a female they like and lay claim to their carnal desires for the night. It made me blush when Percy explained what a hunt was for shifters. Apparently, vampires also have hunts of their own, but they usually end in taking the person back to their den and bonding them to the vampire. I certainly never want to be hunted. Metaphorically chased? Yes. Hunted? No!"It's getting late, we had better head to your mom's house." I told Ares, who was
Ares' P.O.V.My birthday ended amazingly. Mom seemed okay when we left. She seemed determined and ready to fight these dark forces. The clover turned to dust this morning, ending the powerful luck magic. I don’t care though, today I get to go off campus with Nova and Gabriel. I won't let anything ruin my day.I put the pearl away last night in my shadow with the other items my dad gifted me. I planned to use the pearl once we have most of the items to break the curse. I want to know what to do with them. I get the feeling he will have the answers I need. I am not set on that though. If I need to see him before that, then I will.I still can't believe Andy was able to give me a gift like that. I can't believe she remembered my birthday as well. She was the only one, aside from my parents, that remembered. She's such an amazing person, even knowing a great witch to help. I wasn't su
Jesse's P.O.V.Ares: Jesse, don't test it, just do what I say.I sucked my teeth as I read his text. I was feeling strong and like myself again. Having Umbra has really helped. I've been training with Umbra any time I get the chance, whether mentally or physically. I think this is the first time I've used Umbra physically though. I feel powerful right now, urging me to hurt Damon."Somehow I knew you'd be here. " A familiar voice had me breaking my focus on my phone. I turned around, finding Cas with his arms crossed, leaning against the tree. He had that playful smirk on his face again as he watched me. His silver hair defied gravity with the way it stood up all around his head."What are you doing here?" I arched a brow at him. I never did set him straight after our kiss. I honestly hadn't seen him since then, or even texted.
Augustus' P.O.V."She's safe now!" Ares flung a vampire across the clearing, causing him to crash into a tree."Well that's just peachy, but we're in deep shi.t here if we don't leave soon!" I yelled back across to him as two vampires fell into my trap. I had them smack into each other with great enough force to knock them out."She's coming for you now. She's pissed that Jesse got away from her. She's going to take it out on you. You better tap into Sombra's abilities for this one." He warned me, without needing to tell me who.I can't remember if she told me her name or not. I probably wouldn't remember it even if she did. I'm just gonna keep calling her crazy bi.tch. I hate vampires, they're just like mosquitos. They buzz around all annoying like trying to get to your blood. They are hard to catch too, but once you have them in sight they are easy to squish. Vamp
Nova's P.O.V.“Manny, who is Aleah?” I finally blurted out as we sat at the bottom of the pond, looking up at the surface. We’d been talking about random things for a while, and I tried to subtly get him to tell me, but he was either ignoring my hints or just not catching them.“Who?” He feigned ignorance.“I promise it wasn’t my intention to eavesdrop, but..” Manny gave me a side eye. “Fine, it was totally my intention, but I heard you with her in your room. What’s going on, Manny? Why did you leave your coven? Who’s the girl you’re protecting?”These questions had been burning in my mind since I overheard them talking. Manny, sat up on the rock we’d been lying on. He narrowed his eyes at me for a moment, before sighing, causing air bubbles to lift to the surface.
