Aj: Lately I have been having writers block for only Percy Jackson and the Olympians so hopefully a crossover will allow me to start writing those again. Plus, this idea seems really fun.

Anika: Just get on with the chapter.

Max

The flock and I were flying across New York again. I was glaring at the sky, seething because of one bird boy. I bet you know which one too. Fang, being the idiot he is, typed on the blog every personal thing about us. That includes Angel's powers, how long it takes Gazzy and Iggy to make a bomb, Nudge's talking problem, and apparently my pig- headedness. Who does he think he is! If there was something between us now I was sure rethinking it. And now he was trying to pull an Angel and trying to lead more often. People in his stupid blog around the world even think he is the leader. Of course he isn't telling him that yours truly could kick his butt, outrace him, and out lead him any day and is actually letting them think it on purpose.

We had just got back from saving my mom and they wanted us to do even more air shows. I had gotten out of there right then and there of course. The flock had followed me reluctantly, whining all the way. Didn't they see that the CSM was using us all! They were just like the school except they weren't torturing us. If you don't see the air shows as torture I guess. I don't think I could take this much longer. We were being asked too much of, but the kids loved it. A wave of nostalgia hit me as I remembered when we were still on the run.

I loved my mom and all, but I was putting her and Ella in danger. Not to mention that now every time I went to visit her, Brigid was there to swoon over Fang. Not that I cared or anything. He's a total idiot and I hate him. Oh, how I hate him right now. I wanted to quit the air shows and just go back to how things used to be, but Fang would argue against me and say that the kids liked it. Yeah, I bet. More like if we stopped he wouldn't be ably to see Dr. Amazing herself. Who was he; I didn't even know him anymore?

I was dragged out of my thoughts by a droning sound in front of us. I looked up to see M-geeks. That wasn't it though. They were flying. The flock and I seemed confused, except Iggy who had no idea what was going on, but prepared to fight. As soon as they got close enough, I dropped from the sky and came back up in the middle of their little group. They didn't think about this idea giving me the element of surprise. I started to punch their necks and orange goop was spurting out. There were way too many though.

The flock and I were struggling to stay alive when suddenly arrows started whizzing past us. They were hitting the M-geeks though. I don't even think they're trying to hit us. In a matter of minutes, thirty M-geeks were destroyed. The orange goop was splattered all over us though. Iggy didn't seem to mind that one bit seeing as he could feel the orange. I looked to see who saved us when I saw it was a few girls who looked like they were in middle school. There was a silverish glow that seemed to surround them. Like an aura I guess. They started walking toward us in the forest and we figured that we could trust them. I was still wary though. A girl with reddish hair came up to us the closest. She was about twelve years old and I could tell she was the leader.

"Hello Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel." She recited making me eyes bug out.

"My name is Artemis. These are my hunters." She gestured to the girls. I noticed now that there wasn't a single boy. Seems like a good group, I thought. No stupid boys to put personal info and everything about yourself in their stupid blog. I'm not talking about any boy in particular of course.

"Artemis like the Greek goddess?" Angel asked. I looked at her and I could see concentration masking her features. I guess she couldn't read her mind.

"Artemis as in the Greek Goddess Artemis." She smiled at Angel, Nudge, and I.

"Prove it." Fang told her with his arms crossed over his chest.

Artemis turned towards Fang with disgust and anger in her eyes. "I do not need to prove anything to you boys. I will show the girls though." She told him. Iggy whispered to Fang and I heard him ask Fang to describe what Artemis looked like. "Sexist Pig!" I shouted at Iggy. He had fear in his eyes as I yelled. Artemis smiled at me. She then transformed into a women right before my eyes. Fang's face stayed impassive, but the rest of us gawked, even Iggy who I guess Angel was sending a mental image to. She turned back to her twelve year old form. Okay so she was a Greek goddess and they were real. What did that have to do with us though?

"The reason I chose to save you was because of this. The school you grew up in took you away from demigod homes. You all are part Greek god and there is a safe haven for you all called Camp Half Blood." She explained. I didn't want to go to some camp, but the others seemed to want to. I could even tell that Fang wanted to.

"What if we don't want to go to some camp?" I asked. The others groaned and whined, but Artemis' smile grew.

"There is an alternative option." She told me. "If you would follow me into my tent I could talk to you about it." She said, gesturing to her tent. All six of us stepped forward, but she made a stop gesture.

"Just Max, Nudge, and Angel." The boys stayed back, but I could tell the glares of every girl there were making them uneasy.

We stepped into her tent and she sat down on the ground. We followed suit and I could tell that the alternative option would tear the flock apart.

"I would like you three to join my hunters. It is girls only and you three know how to fight and stay alive." She told us. Angel knew her choice immediately.

"No thank you. I want to stay with the flock and go to camp." She told Artemis. Artemis nodded calmly and Nudge nodded with Angel.

"Maximum, if you join me you could be free of responsibilities. You would be immortal unless killed in battle or if you broke your oath." She tempted.

"What oath?" I asked.

"Your oath of maidenhood. To stay a maiden forever and never be with a boy." She told me. I thought about Fang. I also thought about the flock. The idea seemed so tempting though. The school wouldn't be able to get me. I would be free of responsibilities. Angel hugged me around my waist.

"I see you need some time alone to decide. I will send one of my lieutenant in to tell you more while I go talk with your flock about how to get to Camp Half Blood." She told me. I nodded and she ushered Angel and Nudge out of the tent. Max, please don't join. We love you. Fang especially. Angel pleaded telepathically. This was all so confusing. A girl walked in who looked my age and had choppy black hair with a tiara in it. She looked pretty punk.

"You Max?" She asked.

"Who wants to know?" I replied. She smiled and I smiled too.

"I'm Thalia. Artemis' lieutenant." She told me.

"Max. Leader of my flock." I told her. Her eyes looked at my Green Day t-shirt and she smiled wide.

"Green Day is my favorite band!" She told me smiling. I smiled back and nodded.

"So let's get down to business." She said.

Fang

Angel and Nudge came out with Artemis. They both looked sad. Angel ran up to me once she saw us and wrapped her body around my leg. I patted her blonde curls a few times and she looked up at me with tears in her eyes. Then I noticed Max wasn't coming out of the tent. I glared at Artemis and she glared back. Then I kneeled down to see what was wrong with Angel.

"She wanted us to join her. Just Nudge, Max, and I. No boys allowed. She said we would be immortal unless killed in battle and free of responsibilities. She also said that if you joined you couldn't date boys and Max was tempted. She's in there deciding whether to leave us or not." Angel explained. Man that Artemis was sexist! Then what Angel said made my blood run cold. I knew that Max had been furious with me because of my blog and me trying to lead. What if she actually left us? No, this was Max we were talking about. She loved them. I didn't take any chances. Just as Artemis was saying something about her twin brother I took Angel off of my leg and stormed right into the tent Max was in.

"Are you crazy!" I shouted at her. There was another girl in there with black hair and a punkish look despite the tiara in her hair and her silver outfit.

"Hey Fang. A gentlemen as always." She said sarcastically. The punk one looked angry that he was in there.

"You can't be in here! No boys allowed." She yelled at him. Fang saw sparks in her electric blue eyes.

"Sexist much." Fang said nonchalantly. Suddenly lightening blasted him to another side of the tent.

"Fang!" Max shouted. She glared at the punk.

"What did you just do!"

"He was getting on my nerves." She told her calmly.

"I've made my choice. Nobody hurts my family." She stated angrily.

"You can always change your mind. As long as you aren't with that filth." Thalia told her. Max nodded and I started getting up. Max helped me up and we walked over to the flock. There was a bus there and a man who looked about eighteen and had sandy blonde hair.

They saw that the flock were already inside and waiting for them. Angel's face brightened when she saw Max coming on. Time to see what this camp was like, I thought as I sat next to Max. A thought came into my mind though. If she was tempted to actually join the hunters, how bad did she actually want to leave the flock, and me?

Aj: And there is Chapter 1. Please review. –Aj.
