On a dark and stormy night in New York City, a woman was running from a cabin in Montauk. Behind her, there was a huge monster-like thing. Through the raging storm, she wasn't able to clearly see what the creature was, but from what little she could tell, it was large and had horns.

In her arms, there was a crying baby, wrapped tightly in a sea green blanket. The woman did everything she could thing of to try to quiet the child, but nothing was working. The monster was gaining quickly on her, and when the woman was beginning to slow, the monster raked its razor sharp claws against her back, slicing through her shirt and leaving bleeding marks.

Suddenly, a silver arrow pierced the sky, striking the monster in the leg. It let out a roar of pain, stopping it in its tracks. Soon, more silver arrows followed the first one, until all that was left of the creature was dust.

A bunch of young girls emerged from the darkness of the storming forest, and stood beside the woman, trying everything they could to keep her from falling into death's arms.

With the woman's dying breath, she rasped quietly. "Please save Percy."

Her eyes glazed over, leaving the bright blue eyes that once shined with life, dull and broken. Her body went limp, and the baby that was on her chest cried louder.

The leader of the girls respected the woman's wish, and she looked at the baby in the dead woman's arms. It was a boy, with jet black hair, bright sea green eyes that were filled with tears, and chubby little arms that swung everywhere.

Artemis contemplated what to do with the baby. The baby was male and completely innocent. But he is still a male, she thought to herself.

But he would grow up with the hunters, argued back her sub conscience.

But it's in his genes as a boy to be rotten! she argued back, but then another thought surfaced in her brain. If this little boy grows up with us, we could raise him to be the best man that ever walked the Earth.

In the end, Artemis decided to keep him, believing that because he will be raised with the hunters, he will respect women.

I told the hunters what I thought, and instantly I knew there was gonna be objections.

"A BOY?! IN OUR CAMP? NO FREAKING WAY IN TARTARUS WILL THERE EVER BE A BOY IN OUR CAMP." Phoebe, one of my oldest hunters shrieked.

Next Zoe, my trusty lieutenant said: "Thy has always objected to boys, what is so special about this one?" She looked at the baby, who was probably no older than 4 months old and sighed. "I agree with My Lady. The boy could become the only respectable male on this planet."

Atlanta shook her head in disagreement. "A boy? He would try and fuck us like rabbits" "

"No way!" The others echoed, falling in love with the child.

In the end, the hunters would all respect Artemis's decision, even if they didn't like it. Artemis chose to keep the boy, though not all the hunters agreed. Within 6 months almost every one of the hunters fell in love with Baby Percy, all but one.

Atlanta.

She's despised all boys since she was taken advantage of at a young age. That was the day Artemis found her, bruised and afraid.

Atlanta's POV

I had been the prettiest girl in my village in ancient Greece. My family was poor, and we lived in one of the dirtiest huts in the whole village. My parents were slaves/assistants to the Young family.

Their boy, Maleos, was the son of the richest family, the Young's. He loved me, but I loved another man, a man named Kléftis.

Maleos decided to dishonor me, for not returning his love, by taking away my virginity in front of a crowd. He came and took me at 0000, when the moon would be at its highest peak. Though, on that particular night, the moon was gone, for it was the new moon. No one would dare bring such humiliating harm to women while under the watchful eye of the Goddess, Artemis.

He and all the other boys in the village kidnapped my love and forced him to watch them penetrate me.

I was 12 then.

Maleos and the other boys left me to die in the woods, after dragging Kléftis back to the village.

I lied there in that spot for gods know how long. I was emotionless, ashamed, broken. I was praying to Aphrodite to be forgiven for not returning Maleos' love, praying to any god that would listen.

The animals in the forest ignored me, except for one silver deer. It was rather large and looked wild. I didn't care, though. Let it kill me. Let it stomp on my bod- Wait, Silver?!

I turned my head to the beast. It was the largest doe that had ever been seen, probably the same one that Mal- I will not think his name- always talked about. Its fur was short, but it shimmered silvery white. Its eyes held an ancient look, as though it's seen more than any other living being before.

The doe turns its head and made a soft singing call, that relaxed my nerves, almost like it was telling me everything would be alright.

I closed my eyes, but footsteps pulled me out from my peaceful state. My heart quickened, and adrenaline rushed through my veins. I opened my eyes, terrified that those boys came back. But what I saw surprised me, for it wasn't what I expected. There, standing right before me, was the one god he was afraid of, Artemis.

I got up and bowed as if my life depended on it. And It probably did, because she could literally wipe me off the face of the earth.

I took a shaky breath. "Uh- Artemis- I mean Lady Artemis," I stammered, trembling.

She shook her head, telling me not to worry. She then invited me back to her tent, where at least ten other girls stood, watching me as I walked with fear and anxiety, looking towards me, wonder why I was here. Artemis then told them to set up, taking their curious gazes off of me and onto their tent poles.

Artemis talked to me about her life with the hunters, and made me an offer I couldn't resist...

Becoming one of her loyal Hunters, and swearing off men for all eternity. Without hesitation, I took the oath.

And from there on out, I hunted with the Hunters of Artemis, rarely having my thoughts return to that only reason I live is because the Hunters gives me a purpose.
