The Hunter or the Hunted
Chapter 1
The hunter of Artemis
It all started when I joined the hunters of Artemis. This was almost two thousand years ago, but people change. I was a normal 13 year old demigod. Back then there wasn't a camp to keep Half-Bloods safe, so my mother convinced me to join the hunters as soon as I was claimed as a daughter of Apollo. My life really started changing before Zoë and Bianca and the campers went to save Artemis. It started changing when my father gave us a ride in a school bus. He was flirting with some of the other hunters as they and the campers climbed on, but he whispered in my ear, "Don't regret your choices change them." Huh. What did that mean I mean he was the god of prophecy but still? The little boy we had rescued stared me down as I climbed on probably because his sister joined us. Fast forward Artemis is missing Zoe, Bianca, and the campers have left for the quest. And the little boy no longer angry comes to talk to me of all people at dinner. "I'm scared." I lifted an eyebrow. "Why when you're here safe?" He looked ready to cry. "my sister isn't safe." I nodded "neither is Zoë or the campers or Lady Artemis." He got angry "I don't care I just want my sister back." The only thing I could think to say is "if everyone always came back safe then we wouldn't be demigods." He looked up surprised "you're a demigod?" I nodded. "Daughter of Apollo." He looked ready to laugh "must have been weird to have your dad flirt with your friends." I smiled "yeah." He smiled too, "what's your name?" he asked "Lila Seasons." He nodded "Nico Di Angelo." I smiled "Nico the angel that's so cool." He nodded "yeah I guess." I smiled at him "well listen here Mr. Angel your sister is safe with Zoë." His face turned pale, "I sure hope so. By the way if you are a hunter then when were you born?" I gulped not surprised "none of your business." No need for that kid to know I was one of the last hunters actually from ancient Greece. I was born there in 120 AD. I had been in the hunters almost as long as Zoë, but I knew from the beginning I never wanted to be 2nd or even 3rd in command. When the campers came back without Zoë or Bianca I was shocked. So before we left I spied on the angel. I saw everything and heard the two camper's decision to not tell Chiron that the bright happy boy we brought here was a son of Hades. That shocked me even more. The angel a son of hades? Thalia our new lieutenant was quick to get out of camp. We traveled and for a year and a half I didn't once think of the angel. We saw monsters and fought them, hunting anything that attacked. Thalia and I became quick friends. Then one day a year and a half later it all started to fall down when Lady Artemis left to fight Typhon. Thalia brought us to New York as quick as she could. We showed up in the middle of a kid I think his name was Percy talking. He was saying, "All right enough! The Holland Tunnel. Jake take the Hephaestus cabin there. Use Greek fire, set traps. Whatever you've got." The kid Jake grinned, "Gladly. We've got a score to settle. For Beckendorf!" A group of kids I'm assuming the Hephaestus cabin roared in approval. Percy continued "The 59th street Bridge. Clarisse." His voice dropped, but a girl cut in. I had stopped listening when I heard the kid Jake say, "Hold it Percy. You forgot the Lincoln Tunnel." Percy looked ready to curse when Thalia cut in with, "How about you leave that to us?" A girl I remembered as Annabeth looked at us and smiled, "Thalia!" Thalia grinned bigger then I have ever seen, "The Hunters of Artemis, reporting for duty.
