Chapter 1 The Special Night.
Rated T for a bit of violence of and swearing.
~T~ Artemis was getting ready for her special celebration. It was for only one night every month and she wanted to make the best of it for her hunters. She carefully braided her hair, wore her moon dress and grabbed her silver bow. She walked to her hunters to see them awaiting her commands. Her lieutenant Thalia was on one knee as she awaited her orders.
~F~ "My dearest hunters. Tonight we celebrate another month of hunting successful!" I say in dearest joy. I send the signal to begin the celebration with me shooting beautiful silvers arrows into the sky.
~T~ Artemis didn't notice Apollo soaring over the sky in his chariot. He wore his favorite suit, shoes and tie but he wasn't pleased at all tonight. His glare tonight was just as hot as his teeth when he was soaring over the sky happily. His face could burn you to cinders with a single glare. He looked down for the very thing that displeased him.
~F~ "Faster. Quicker." I think. "I know Apollo is trying to find me." I grab my bow and shoot a wooden arrow into the air. I run into a bush and hide. "He'll never find me here." I think. I take off into a run between the tall redwoods.
~T~ Artemis is happily celebrating another month of hunting until Apollo shows up. "Sister!" he shouts as loud as he can. Because the hunters have trained ears they stop and get on one knee according to Artemis and stay there quietly. "My hunters stay there. I will chat with my brother." Artemis says walking to Apollo with anger in her eyes not her face. "Brother. Out of all nights you come to visit me on the one day my hunters and I celebrate. Why so?" "Artemis you do not understand. There will be a boy coming here and later a girl. You will not attack them and you will not send them away. Do you understand me, Sister?" Apollo says his tone full of seriousness. "In all my years I have never heard you this serious, Brother. If it is that important I will think-"Artemis says looking at her brother. "No! Swear by the River Styx." "I swear by the River Styx Apollo that those two shall not be harmed." Artemis says hesitantly.
~F~ I watch Apollo go away without a word. I call my lieutenant Thalia over. "Thalia, tell the other hunters that they will not injure the next boy and girl they meet." "But… Never mind yes Artemis." Thalia says running off to tell the hunters. "Who is this boy and girl Apollo mentioned?" I wonder as I go back to the party.
