Latoius POV
My legs could barely move as my siblings and I ran away from a monster, and it was getting closer and closer to us. We had no other choice now we had to try to fight. My two sisters took out their bows and arrows; I took that as a sign to take mine out too. We shot the snake like creature who knows how many time but it did no good, we were soon to be dead. Lucky if anyone came by to find our bodies considering we were in the middle of a forest at midnight.
Now you are probably wondering what three kids are doing unsupervised running away from a monster in a forest, at midnight. Well we aren't normal kids; we are half-bloods, sort of. We are the secret children of Artemis. And we have been on the run for years. Our mother and father don't even know we exist we were made as an experiment by Kronos. He somehow took DNA from our mom and dad made us. Well anyways when we were six we decided to run away, we are twelve now. Technically speaking, for some reason we age much slower than regular half-bloods so we look more like three year olds, but we can use some of our energy to make us look about twelve. That tires us out a lot and can be dangerous for many reasons. Like when-
"Latoius run faster!" my sister Emily yelled.
"Oh no! Watch out for the-" and that was the last thing I heard before we were thrown at some rocks and swept into unconsciousness.
Artemis POV
The hunters and I were setting down our camp when we saw three kids getting thrown at 90mph by an echidna. The hunters chased after it while I went over to see the children. They were getting younger and younger until they looked about three. Their auburn hair was filthy with blood and grass. It was obvious that they were badly hurt. My hunters came back and we put them in a tent and started mending to their wounds.
"Lady Artemis they have awoken!"
When I went into the tent they were back in their twelve year old form and murmuring to each other.
"We can't let her know we are-"
I pretended I didn't hear what they were talking about.
"So, who are you three?"
"I'm Emily, this is my sister Sapphire and my brother Latoius,"
"Let me rephrase that, what are you exactly? You aren't normal half-bloods."
"Well Lady Artemis we aren't as much of half-bloods as we are of three-quarters blood,"
Hmm, interesting. But my thoughts were interrupted as soon as her eyes met with mine for the first time. She had silver eyes, an exact copy of my own. So did the other two. When they realized I was staring they quickly looked down again.
"Thank you for everything Lady Artemis, but we have to get going know," said the boy quickly standing up along with his sisters.
The bows and arrows, the auburn hair, the silver eyes, running in the forest in the middle of the night, these children somehow were mine.
"Wait! Who are your parents?"
They didn't answer. I asked again.
"Who are they!?"
"Our father is son of Athena and our mother is…she's you."
