I ran for a couple of days only stopping to eat or sleep. I am running through a forest right now. The trees so tall they look like they're touching the sky, and the trunks are so big around that I don't think I could wrap my arms around them. I am running fast and not paying attention, next thing I know I slam into something. I look up and see a white wolf with blue eyes. It's sniffing the air and looks at me as it sits up. It changes into a girl wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt, with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Well are you going to shift or are you going to stay a wolf", she asks. I shift into my human form, amazed.

" How did you know", I ask.

"Your smell", she says but at my confused look she continues, "you smell like a wolf but you also smell like a demigod.".

"You know about demigods", I ask. She nods and stands up holding a hand out for me, I take it. As we walk I explain what happened to me. She has this look on her face that says shes heard stories like mine before. She explains to me that she has a pack. That the pack is full of kids that are like us, both demigod and werewolf. How, when they got turned the gods betrayed and tried to kill them, how only a small amount of them were able to get away and most were killed. A few years ago they created a place here in the woods where they could live. Last she explains how I'll get the rest of my werewolf abilities in a few days. That they will help me through some of the painful ones, teach me to use and control all of them.

We stop in a clearing, I look up. It's amazing. Lots of treehouses connected by platforms and bridges. High up in the trees where you wouldn't notice them unless you were looking for them. She leads me to a ladder hidden among the bushes and up to the treehouses. She gets the rest of her pack to come onto the main platform.

"Introduce yourself", she nudges me gently.

"I'm Percy, uh son of Poseidon", I say. All the others smile and introduce themselves. The ones that stand out to me are Max who is the youngest being only 12, Emily who is 19 and has a bad limp, Logan who is 15 and is missing his left arm, Kate who is 16 like me and is the girl who brought me here, and Alex who is 21 and Kate's older brother.

We all eat dinner together, I sit next to Kate most of the time but talk to all of them. There are a total of 16 of us here, according to Kate there used to be 20. After dinner, they lead me to a platform with drums, a guitar, and other instruments. Most of them take turns going up and singing songs while others play the instruments. I notice how Kate does not go up and sing instead she sits next to me and talks to Max who is sitting on the other side of her. I like it here, they are just one big goofy family, who accept each other for who they are even with their problems, like missing limbs. After a couple of hours everyone is done singing. I look around again. There are hanging lanterns everywhere, it's beautiful. Kate comes up to me,

"We will have to build you a treehouse of your own but for now, there is an extra room in mine if you want", she says.

"Okay", I say and smile. she smiles back and leads me to my temporary room.

"Goodnight Percy and welcome to the pack", Kate says then leaves.
