Chapter 1
BPOV
Becoming a hunter of Artemis was one of the best decisions of my entire life. Well actually existence, now that I am immortal. I will admit that being a hunter is extremely dangerous what with all that monster fighting we have to do and all but I don't regret joining because being a hunter also has its perks and it has helped me in so many ways, ways that I thought weren't even possible. For example it got rid of my two left feet and now I am more graceful and coordinated, I also managed to find out that i was adopted and that Charlie and Renee aren't my real parents and that i was a demi-god. My mother is Aphrodite. I still don't get that though. I'm not beautiful but anyways... being a hunter also taught me how to fend for myself and best of all it got rid of the gigantic hole I my chest that was threatening to rip me apart after 'he' left me. I gave him all my love and he repays me by saying I was just a distraction and that he never loved me.
Flashback
"Bella, we're leaving."
I took a deep breath before speaking.
"When you say 'we'-" I said slowly not really wanting to hear what Edward was going to say next.
"I mean my family and 'myself'" he exaggerated each word as if trying to tell me I was not part of it but in the most gentlemanly fashion the way he was raised. "I don't want you to come, Bella."
I shook my head not believing a single word. My face started heating up full of anger "Your lying. I know it. You promised Edward, you promised. You told me that you couldn't live in a world where I don't exist. You told me you loved me." By the end of my little speech I was whispering. His blank expression told me that he was serious.
"I'm sorry, Bella, but you were just a distraction to me." He said evenly, "goodbye Bella," he pressed his lips very lightly to my forehead. My eyes closed. And when they opened again he was gone. And from that day onwards my reason for existing had vanished. Until I met the hunters that is.
End of flashback
my thoughts were interrupted as I heard Phoebe and Anna call me from across the clearing. I focused on the two figures running towards me and yelling my name. Phoebe and Anna came to a stop in front of me.
"Hey, hey, Bella, guess what?" Anna said jumping up and down. In a way she reminded me of Alice with her enthusiasm for everything, "No, no, don't guess let me tell you. Artemis has just set up a competition to see which group can catch the biggest prey and you're in our group," Anna started bouncing even more and she even started squealing. It took both Phoebe and me to calm her down. Anna reminded me so much of my best friend Alice Cullen, Edward's little sister. I missed her so much. When she was finally back to normal which wasn't necessarily calm she continued where she left of from before. "We are so gonna win with you on our team, with you being Artemis' second in command and all. The prize for winning is I'm guessing its because she has to deal with Apollo right now and she doesn't want us to listen or maybe because she forgot to catch dinner, though I'm guessing it's the latter. Oh well, we should be leaving in around five minuets so get ready."
"Okay" I replied.
I trudged back to my tent thinking about Alice and Esme and what they would think if they saw me. It has been ten years since I saw my best friend and I would give almost anything to see her again. Almost. When I climbed into my tent I saw my tent-mate (AN:I'm not sure what you call someone who shares a tent with you) and Lady Artemis' lieutenant, Thalia sharpening her knife.
"Hey Thals, getting ready for the competition?" I asked
"Yeah, come on, my knife looks sharp enough so lets start getting ready."
When we put on our camouflaged shorts, and I put on my favorite dark blue tank top while Thalia put on her death to Barbie shirt. We both put on our silver huntress jackets on top. As we stepped out of the tent I turned to Thalia.
"Good luck, Thalia. May the best hunters win" I smirked.
"Sounds about right, Bells" she said back. Suddenly, the hunting horn sounded and I was of into the woods with phoebe and Anna at my flanks. I skidded to a halt as soon as I smelt the scent of a monster. A confused Anna and Phoebe skidded to a halt and walked back to where I was.
"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked.
"Shh," I commanded, "do you smell that?"
Phoebe sniffed the air before answering. "yeah, monsters" Pheobe whispered
"Hey maybe if we kill the monster and bring them back to Lady Artemis we'll win" Anna said rather loudly jumping up and down again.
"Number one Anna keep it down or the monsters will hear you and number two we have to get animals for dinner and I don't think monsters will taste so good." Phoebe whispered harshly.
"Will both of you shut up and follow me. We'll see how many vampires are there and if we can take them we will, otherwise we call in for reinforcements. Got that?" I whispered already making my way to where the scent of the monsters was.
"Sure" they both murmured at the same time, following me into the tree I was climbing. We jumped four to five trees ahead when I saw pale figures moving about in the clearing in front of us.
"There are not that many vampires, I think we can take em', so on three, we all jump down from this tree and aim at the closest vampire. Only on my call do you fire understand?" I whispered so softly I doubt the vampires could hear. "One, two, three." We all jumped down from the closest tree and aimed. That's when I heard a trill voice that sounded like bells, "Bella?"
