This a fiction about how Thalia left the hunters. It might be more…. I hope you enjoy it!
Thalia's POV
When I woke up that morning I didn't know that it would be a day that changed my life. Artemis was away so I was in charge. Lately Lady Artemis had been acting oddly. She left the Hunt for weeks to months at a time and when she was around she was in her adult state which was a rare occurrence. She had been extremely jumpy too. But, I shook these thoughts away as I stepped out of my tent into the brisk morning air.
"WAKE UP! LADY ARTEMIS WILL BE HERE TODAY!" I shouted to the Hunt hoping that would wake them. "YOU SHOULD ALL BE AWAKE ONCE I'M DRESSED!" I added heading towards the showers. Behind me I heard the camp waking. Once I was in the bathrooms I looked in the mirror. I sighed and saw what I always saw: A plain, pale, freckled face dark black hair and my best feature my sparkly electric blue eyes framed with long lashes. I'm finally at the point where I want to feel pretty and beautiful and all that other crap. I'll even admit it: I want to be in a relationship. Aphrodite would squeal and Artemis would go into shock. Her lieutenant regrets her decision to become an eternal maiden? Never. But I do. I regret it everyday. I'll go visit Camp Half Blood for a week and see Percy and Annabeth so happy. I want that to. Even Nico has had a girl friend or two. At first I didn't know why that hurt so much. Then I came to the realization that I liked Nico. At first I tried to convince myself that the attraction was physical and I'd get over it. But I didn't. So I'm hunter and he's perfectly free. Why would he like me any ways? I don't know. Snap out of it, Thalia! I commanded myself. I dressed and walked out to the hunters awaiting me.
"Hunters, are you prepared for the return of our Lady Artemis?" I asked the group of girls that stood before me. They all nodded vigorously. And Artemis decided that precise moment to drop in. immediately all the girls drop into a bowing position.
"Hello girls. It is wonderful to see you all!" she beamed. I noticed she was holding a small bundle. "Now girls please go about your daily activities. I must speak privately to Thalia." Then she beckoned me to follow her. Oh Gods this can't be good. What did she know? Maybe she knows about my secret thing for Nico? Nope. She'd have killed me by now. I followed her nervously. Once we were inside her tent she turned to me. She had set down the small bundle down to reveal a sleeping….baby?
"Lady Artemis, why do you have a child with you?" I asked cautiously. Immortals are easily offended.
"Thaila," she sighed "I-I broke my oath- my pledge to be an eternal maiden." She looked on the verge of tears. At first I couldn't process the idea. Artemis has a kid? No way in Hades. Impossible. I thought as gazed upon the small child. Well, maybe not.
"Y-you have a kid!?!" I asked/exclaimed.
"Yes," she moaned "My pig-headed half-brother Dionysus! It is his and Aphrodite's fault completely for this-this incident!" Artemis sputtered with rage.
Then I lost it. "An incident! She may be unintentional but she's just a child! You can't blame Aphrodite and Dionysus! You are her mother!" I screamed. It's never a good idea to yell at a goddess but I know what it's like to feel unloved. Like your mom couldn't care less.
"But, Dionysus got me drunk and Aphrodite made me lose my judgment and morals! Thalia, dispose of her. I-I don't care how." Artemis commanded.
"Okay," I said grudgingly "But that will be the final act for you. I can't stand the thought of serving for you after I know this. Don't try to stop me"
"I won't. Goodbye, Thalia." She said sadly. I walked off then spun around.
"Wait! Does she have a name?" I asked.
"No. But her sir name is Di Pirreo." Artemis said softly.
I looked down at the sleeping child in my arms. "Luna," I whispered "I'll call you Luna." Then I turned and head in the direction of New York. To Camp Half Blood.
