Artemis walked into her tent, tired from the day before and even more so since she just came from driving the moon chariot. She was not expecting anyone in her quarters since the hunters would not dare to go in without permission. So when she walked in and was tripped by a pair of legs in the middle of the floor, she ready to scold the hunter that was there. Jumping up from the sudden fall, she scanned the area for the hunter, only to find the wrong kind of hunter passed out on the pile of pillows that she kept. She couldn't help but smile at the sleeping person as she remembered the first time that person ever stepped foot in her tent.
It had been 11 years ago during a very harsh winter. The Hunters just rescued a group of runaway demi-gods from a pack of hellhounds. The group included a 13 year old boy, a 12 year old girl, a 7 year old girl, a 5 year old girl. Their supples were low and the 5 year old had shorts on with old tattered clothes. The eldest girl gave her a hat and the 7 year old gave her a scarf, but it didn't help much. Artemis invited the girls to come to thief camp for supples but the boy had to stay.
"Go." He said to the eldest,"If it means getting Shi out of the cold for a little bit... Then. It's fine by me".
The three girls follows the hunters and the goddess to their camp. The eldest girl was carrying the youngest in case of the need of a quick escape. When arriving to the camp, Artemis brought them to her tent. She examined the demi-gods. The eldest was her half-sister, Demi-god daughter of Zeus, Thalia Grace. The second eldest was the 7 year old daughter of Athena, Annabeth Chase. If Artemis remembered correctly, which she always does, Annabeth was the cousin of someone important to her. The youngest Demi-god made Artemis's heart stop for a second , if possible. Kneeling down in front of youngest she asked," What is your name?"
Although she already knew. The youngest looked up at Thalia, has if to get permission like a child would their mother. Artemis knew that the two had that kind of relationship. Thalia nodded to child, and the child answered,
" Shiloh. I am Shiloh."
"Shiloh what?" Thalia conceded.
"Shiloh Diana Hunter"
Artemis smiled at the girl. "Well Shiloh, I can't let you leave this tent with clothes like that. I believe I have some that will fit you."
Artemis stood and faced her half- sister. "I will give you some supples. Food, water, whatever you need. "
Thalia and Annabeth bowed some said," Thank you lady Artemis"
Shiloh, being the ADHD child she was , like all Demi- gods, took the chance to jump onto the pile if pillows that were in the tent.
" Shiloh!" Thalia scolded.
"Shiloh come here" Annabeth said.
"But Annabeth! Thals! I couldn't help it!" Thalia was about to say something but Artemis held her hand up,
"It's alright" she smiled." Leave her be" Annabeth looked at Shiloh, who was now building a fort of pillows.
"Come on cousin! These are the best pillows ever!"
Annabeth shook her head, " Sorry cousin."
With a proud stride, The Lt. walks into he tent. "Zoe. Take these two and supple them with whatever they need. Food, water, the works" Artemis commanded.
" Yes lady Artemis. Come with me" Thalia and Annabeth follows Zoe out. Artemis turned to Shiloh with the intent to give her new clothes only to see her alsleep on the pile of pillows that were once a fort.
Artemis chuckled at the memory. Shiloh hasn't really changed since then considering she is passed out if the pile of pillows, and Artemis suspects it was once again turned into a fort before its collapse. Shiloh rolled over and opened one yellow eye.
"Mom, have I mentioned that these pillows are the best?"
Artemis laughed and replied, " Yes. Yes you have"
