Nico's POV
I wake up, expecting to see the wall of my cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Instead, I see sunlight, a tree and a fern.
I stand up shakily on my paws, turning back to wash my fur. Wait whaaaa?! Fur. I have fur. I officially have fur. Wow, cuz that's sooo normal. I start freaking out. I wave my black paw back and forth in front of my face to make sure I'm not insane or hallucinating or something. Sure enough, I see my black paw waving back at me. Ok, so I'm a cat. Casual. Well, its not exactly strange for a half-blood to wake up in odd places. Once, I was shadow travelling and passed out due to exhaustion. I woke up on the floor of a girl's public bathroom in China. Needless to say, it was difficult to explain what I was doing there to the police.
I run to a lake I see nearby to look at my reflection. Sure enugh, I've turned into a cat. Or kitten. A kitten or a very very small cat. A purely jet black kitten with pretty, emerald green eyes. Did I just use the word pretty? I think to myself. Ahhh… turning into a kitten is making me lose my badass-ness. Is badassness even a word? My ADHD mind frets over the most random things.
I hear footsteps and voices. I dive under a rose bush, thorns snagging in my fur. The footsteps come closer, and I hear a strong, femine voice. "What do we have here?" The voice coos. She drags me out of the bush by my tail. Wow, rude much? I look up, to see a familiar face. Oh. My. Gods. Is that Artemis? Sure enough, its her, dressed in silver and armed with a bow and arrow.
"Awwww! What a cute, adorable little kitten!" Again, oh my gods. Artemis just said cute and adorable. In the same sentence. Impossible. "We should keep her!" She continues. Wow, did she just assume I was a her. Do I look like a she-cat or something? Wait a second. Did she just say she wanted to adopt me or something? NO. I could not stay with the man-hating hunters. Then I really think about it. What's the harm? I think. It's not as if they know I'm a guy… And Thalia will be there. Cute, awesome Thalia. Badass, loyal, Thalia. Sure, what's wrong with staying with the Hunters until I figure out what's wrong with me?
Basically, Nico turns into a cat and is taken in by the Hunters. Next chapter, he'll meet Thalia, though she'll have no idea he's not actually a cat and that he's Nico. Please review, I adore reviewers.
