This is my new story and I hope you like it!
LAI:
From my hiding spot in the bushes, I watched the deer munch away on leaves like nobody's business. I carefully notched an arrow and aimed it. I waited for the right moment. It was silent, deadly silent. Suddenly, my foot caught on a branch and it made a slight crunching noise. I silently cursed myself and saw the deer turning its head slowly. I had to shoot now. I released my arrow and it flew straight for the deer. I waited.
Bullseye.
I sighed. I had been a hunter for nearly a year, and I still hadn't gotten used to the adrenaline, the high paced action and the swift skills. I felt like I was in an action movie.
I also liked the immortality, of course. Technically speaking, I was 15 already. Not that you would've known it. I still looked and felt 14. The other hunters had told me after 5 years or so you lose track.
"Nice shot, Lai." Said my friend Maya. We were the same age, but she had joined the hunters first, so she still looked 13.
"Thanks, Maya." I replied.
"Ready for lunch?" asked Eden, another hunter.
My stomach growled hungrily. "According to my stomach, yes." I said with a sly grin.
Maya and Eden giggled, and we headed over to the meadow with the other hunters.
We sat down on a picnic blanket and looked at our feast. Bread and butter, beans, fresh fruit and of course, meat. We scraped some into the fire for the gods, and dug in. I looked around at the circle of girls I was in. We were all dressed in our classic outfits of silver puffy hoodies, camouflage t-shirts, jeans, and hiking boots. I looked around and silently said everybody's names in my head. Eden, Phoebe, DeeDee, Haley, Joanie, Kelsey, me, Chloe, Nadia, Maya, Millie, Liz, Beth, and a bunch of others. They were my sisters, my best friends, and my hunting partners all in one. I loved being a hunter. I looked at Thalia, our second-in-command. With her spiky black hair, her punk clothes, and her freaky shield, she's enough to make most monsters freak out. Then I looked at our leader, Artemis. With her calmness and her wise eyes, she doesn't seem like a threat, but in battle she's wicked, and no one can stop her. I love being a hunter. The power, the, well, the everything!
