A/N Hey guys chapter 2 is finally here after 2 weeks of the first one. I know that to some readers it's a little slow, so I will try to write chapters faster. Thanks to all the people who ready my story and a bigger thanks to people who followed or favorite. Enjoy reading chapter two and like I said in the last chapter any criticism is fine, but don't just say it sucks without a reason.

One more thing I do not own any of the Percy Jackson story, all that goes to Rick Riordan

Of course me and Sam where scared. We had 12 girls with bows aiming right at us.

But that didn't stop us from laughing.

"Really arrow." Sammy said still laughing, "You're shit with a bow. The club would denied you instantly."

My laugh died down and anger flew through me when understanding what he said. This was a huge blow for me. You could make fun of me for anything, but never my archery skills.

I turned to face Sam. Forgetting about the girls, " Oh really. What about we draw tiny dots on you and lets see if I can hit them straight on. I bet I can." I hissed.

Both of us where in a staring contest refusing to back down, waiting to attack one and another. Something that was common between us.

Just before advancing hoping to strike first, I was rudely interrupted by someone. Bringing me back to what was happening.

"Both of you stop right this instant." A sharp voice came from the group of girls that I didn't see still trying to win the starring battle with Sam.

Now angry from not being able to make the score 33-16. I turned to face the person who interrupted us.

When I noticed the person who spoke was the girl that I lost to in the dodgeball game My anger started faded away. I didn't know why, but I guess it was blown away from the warm feeling this girl had.

When the girl got both of our attentions she made a signaling hand motion. The 4 girls in front of the group started to walked slowly around me and sam. Bow still pointing at use.

Well now we were surrounded and had no chances of escaping.

At least for now.

The idea of being capture wasn't on my mind, but escaping was. No I couldn't just run away, these girls look like they could rune 10 miles without breaking a sweat. Most looked around my age, but the look in their eyes told me that they weren't afraid to kill.

The girl started to talk again, "Jenny, Lexi, guard the boy. You," The girl pointed at Sammy, "Come with me."

Sammy with a nervous look walked over to the girl, as Jenny grabbed my shoulder and directed me to the wall. She started to apply pressure to my shoulder telling me to sit down. I shrug my shoulder to get her hand off of me and sat down. The two girls were standing on either side of me. Avoiding eye contact.

I saw Sammy Being integrated by the girl who beat me in dodgeball who I guess would be the leader, and 2 other girls. Maybe her guards, I don't know.

The others kinda went into a group conversation, but still looked ready incase they were attack.

Even though I was terrible at reading lips. I still tried my best to make out the words, but I could only get one word.

Rumor.

After a minute of waiting of just sitting trying to comprehend what was going on. Having so many questions to ask. I wanted to start some small talk with the girls that hated every part of me, knowing by the way they looked at me.

"With the look of your gear. I would have to assumed that you guys hunt." I said.

Jenny, but not Lexi who just stood there ignoring me. Looked at me, scowl, then turned head looking at opposite direction from me.

I didn't cared and started talking again, "I do a little bit of hunting myself. I mosty hunt small game, rarely big game, gives more of a challenge," I said looking at them, seeing that they avoid eye contact with me, "My favorite place to hunt is Erving State Forest. Good game there. Do you guys have any spots in Massachusetts?"

Yeah they didn't like talking. I don't know maybe they lost their voices. I'm totally not the reason. Right?

As minutes went by a girl lead Sammy to the opposite side of the wall of me. Forcing him to sit down too.

The girl went back to her group looking like they were in the meeting, but Jenny and Lexi staying behind to still guard me.

I needed to talk to Sam, but privately making sure the girls couldn't hear me.

What would happen next would get me "I told you so." I would never admit it to him, but I was glad that I could use one of my skills Sammy taught me.

I caught Sammy's attention and started to make hand he begin to do the same thing. Yes, we were speaking in sign language.

When Sam first offered to teach me, knowing that I would never need it. I denied him right off the bat, but after days of begging and complaining I finally agreed for him to teach me sign language.

I guessed it did had some use as the rest of our talk was in sign Language.

"What's going on," I signed to Sam.

Sam had a better understanding of the language, so he always fast, and I always had to interrupt telling him to slow down.

Sam slowed down his movement looking timid, " Something really bad. To hard of an explanation, but one thing I should add is that we need to get out of here quick."

"How though. There are too many and by the looks of them, they look experience. Also who they?" I signed giving Sam a questionable look.

"The bell rangs in five minutes. During that time we can try to blend in with the crowd in the hallway losing them." Sam signed ignoring my question.

"Why does that sound easy."

Sam gave me a worried look, "Because it's not easy. First, this is a small hallway. It would take some time for a crowd to gather up. Second, they wouldn't let us go just like that.

I smiled at Sam while trying to move faster just incase one girl knew sign language, " This is going to end so bad. Now getting back to the my question from earlier, who are these girls?"

Sam gave a brief sigh, "The Hunters of Artemis."

My jaw drop to the floor. I couldn't believe what Sam said. I knew a good amount of greek mythology. Especially who the Hunters of Artemis were.

I could tell that Sam wasn't lying. To be honest that explained a lot about my day. Wait if the Hunters of Artemis are after me, what kind of mess am I in.

I remained calm from what I just learned, "Wait the Hunters of Artemis, why are they after me. They swore off men and last time I checked, I'm a man." I signed to Sammy.

"That's even worse. They don't go through all this trouble for a man resulting in something positive." Sammy signed almost panicking.

I decided to go deeper, "Off topic, what's this rumor you were talking about with them?" I signed knowing that I hit the question he doesn't wanted to answer by his jump of shock reading my question.

"I'm not the one you should be talking to right now, but if we get out of this mess I will take you to him. I will say this though, these hunter's are trying to end the rumor and you are the rumor. They will kill, so my priority is getting you to safety which I can explain and will explain later." Sam finish.

As I was about to continue, I stop when I saw the leader of the hunters move in the middle of me and sam. Speaking in signed language.

Oh crap.

The girl started grinning, "How foolish can you be not to check if someone was reading your conversation. Menn, so idiotic." She signed.

"How much did you see?" I signed putting in no effort knowing that we are screwed.

"Oh... everything. Your escape plan, you finding out greek myths are real, and knowing the basics of the rumor." She signed.

Both me and Sam had the look of defeat knowing that it would be harder to escape.

Sam getting tired of this, "Can we start talking again. This is just getting old."

Me and the girl both agreed, but no one wanted to start talking. I looked at the other hunters who were just standing a few feet behind their leader. Their expressions were like a wolf looking at its prey.

It looks like I will be the one to start the conversation, "I guess I will break the silence. I'm Cole Velos, this is my friend Sammy McMel, and you are?" I asked.

She kept her attention more on me than Sammy. For some reason she was more joyful then at gym class.

"Why just ask me and not my fellow hunters? Do you not bother to take interest in people who are near you that dont talk? What a classic man." She ask trying to degrade me.

I had a mischief look from know that my answer would stump her. "You make a good point, but I only ask you because you're probably going to be the only one to talk to me. I tried talking to your two other hunters Lexi and Jenny. They didn't even make a sound. So let me ask you, why ask for their names if they aren't going to talk to me. If they want to share their names they can, I won't denied them. I also ask for your name, so I could respectfully respond to you. So what's your name."

And my answer did stumped. I notice that when her cocky grinned turned into a confused looked, by which was followed by her staringing furiously at me .

I looked over at Sam smirking using sign language again. "Haha. That's my boy, getting the best of a hunter of Artemis ." He signed.

I couldn't hold in the laugh from Sammy's comment. All the hunters were giving me weird looks not knowing what I was laughing at.

When I was done laughing my attention went back to the girl, She had the same I'm going to murder face like she had during gym, "Ridiculous, what a stupid thing to say," she spitted out, "Anyways my name is Katelyn Zestasia and if my comrades wish say their names they can."

The other hunters kept silent. Choosing to keep their name a secret.

I continued on smirking at her. "So Katelyn, what brings you and your lovely hunters to this high school. Be honest it had to of been the chicken patties. C'mon don't lie."

Sammy looked nervous from my comment, hinting to me that joking wasn't appropriate at the time. I didn't care, institutions like these joking was common for me.

Yeah not for Katelyn through.

She walked in front of me looking serious, giving me a hand gesture to stand up. Which was a mistake.

When I stood up, still laughing at my comment. Katelyn punch me in the gut knocking me to the ground. I put my back up against the wall to ease the pain as I heard the sound of girls giggling. Man did she pack a punch.

"Stop acting foolish," she said, "You know why we are here and you proceed to mock me. Talking like an idiot."

After insulting me the pain faded away, but still had a sting to it.

She was right, I am acting foolish. It's all part of the plan.

I needed to waste as much time as possible for that bell to ring. For the fact that Katelyn already knew about the school bell plan we had. It was still only chance for me and Sam to get away.

I knew that putting up the act would bring a couple more punches my way, maybe even a kick, but the thought of me being kidnapped out weighed the pain.

So with no options left. I put on the wise guy act and continue to get under her skin.

I was doing a pretty good job at it if I say so myself.

"What can I say. In times like these the only thing I can do is joke." I said with a smug look.

"One more nonsense phase like that and everyone one of hunters will take turns making you their punching bag," Katelyn said more angry then before.

The instant she said that made me nervous. I know I said that being kidnapped outweighed the pain, but not this time. I could of have taken 3 more punches, but 11 more girls probably with the same strength punching me was something I didn't want to happen.

Time to act serious.

Now was a good to get answers. "Your right, I do know why you are here, because of the rum-" I stopped talking when the bell rang meaning that lunch was over.

My only thought was why it couldn't rang before I got punch, but I got back to the idea of escaping.

After the ringing went away I started to hear footsteps coming through the halls.

Answers later. Escape time now.

The hunters caught wind of this and Katelyn began to whisper to her fellow hunters saying how it was time to go.

Katelyn stared at me. "Well looks like it's time to come with us Cole and Sam. Even though we're only want Cole, you can join him for what we have plan." She said with a grim smile, moving to the front of the group. Not letting me have a chance to talk. I got scared for the fact that a man hating group had a plan for me.

Every hunter went into walking formation with Katelyn leading, instead of Lexi and Jenny who were behind us making sure we don't escape.

As we walk through the hall I was losing the sound of other students footsteps. So much for that plan. It was time to take a chance and hope the two hunters didn't know sign language.

I tried to get Sammy's attention while walking and when I did we started to use sign language hiding our hands, so Jenny or Lexi couldn't read them.

I started first. "I have a plan and it probably won't work, but it's the best shot we have right now."

"Lay it on me." Sam signed.

"Remember those low spinning sweep kicks we learned at the first week of the Martial Arts class?" I signed looking up noticing we were close to an exit.

"Yeah, easiest move to learn." He signed.

"Well do one. NOW" I signed.

Sammy must of put the pieces together because the second I finish my sign we both simultaneously sweep kick Lexi and Jenny, who crashed to the ground.

Hearing the loud thump noise from the two girls, the other ten hunters turned around and was shock at what they just saw.

Knowing me I gave a quick salute to Katelyn just for the fun of it. It was funny to see how piss she was. Then me and Sam booked it with me leading the way.

After bolting down the hall and taking a turn. I guess the hunters finally got out of their shock for what we just did because I heard a familiar voice yell, "DAM YOU COLE VELOS."

I returned with a really loud laugh knowing I outsmarted her.

That thought instantly left my head when I started to hear a multiple footsteps following us.

I was trying to find any escape root that was possible. I looked back to see 3 hunters including Katelyn, bows in hand, chasing after us.

When they saw us about to take a turn they ready their bows and shot a valley of arrows at us. My instiants took over knowing that I would have to move fast to avoid Sammy getting hit by an arrow.

I tackle Sammy to the open side of the hall we were about to turn into. Hearing arrows zoom by, one skimming my side in the process.

There was no time spent resting. Once we hit the ground both of us got up continuing to run.

"Shit," I said looking at my cut, "They aren't messing around."

"The rumor is the reason they are after you. The hunters are scared of it and if your gone there is no more rumors. Put the math together Cole." Sam said as we turned left.

"Well if killing me is going end this rumor then I guess the rumor will live on forever." I said grinning.

Sammy smiled. "If you want that to happen, first we need leave the school and get to your car."

I forget about my car. I even had the keys in my pocket. Well I guess when you have a group of girls trying to kill you over a rumor, you forget about the little things.

"Good idea, but first we need to get equipment to defend ourselves and I know where to get it. Follow me, it's only like 3 more turn." I said leading Sammy.

When entering a long hallway another group of hunters showed themselves at the end of the hallway and started shooting at us.

We couldn't turn back now knowing other hunters were probably behind us. The next choice was a hallway close to our left, but it was longer to get to the destination. Well I guess we're taking the long route.

The hunters shot a valley at us. Lucky we were able to dodge them entering the new hallway.

"Shit. Extra deture time Sam." I said still running.

Sam gave me a nod looking tire as ever. He was not ready for this run.

We didn't see any hunters for the rest of the time. Probably regrouping, making a new plan.

Thinking about it we didn't see no students, teachers, or facility. That's weird, I pushed out the thought to focus on the main objective.

Finally we were at our destination.

The Gym

Sam gave me a confused look. "Why are we at the gym."

"Well," I said grinning, "if we're going to get out of here alive, we need more than just fist and kicks. Now let's go find that equipment closet."

Sam nodded and followed me to the closet.

Finding and opening the door, flicking on the lights, all that could be seen was sports equipment.

I already knew what I was looking for, but Sam had a hard time choosing something to fend off the hunters.

I dug deeper in a pile of random equipment to find the "weapon" I came here for.

Failing to find it at every pile of equipment I looked through. I started to search corners, but my search stop.

On racks were bows with dull tip arrows next to them.

I walk over to the rack to examine the bows.

Of course they were poorly made, but at this point I would take what I could get.

I slung the bow and a quiver full of arrows over my shoulder.

I check on Sammy to see if he needed help and he didn't.

He gripped a long steel pole like it was a bo staff.

It was so hard not to teasy him. "You ready bo staff my master." I laughed.

"Another word about it arrow and I will use it on you." Sam grunted.

I gave Sam a break. We were both in a situation neither of else wanted to be in.

"What path are we talking to get to your car." Sam said trying to calm himself which was hard for him in these situations.

Oh shit I totally forgot that my car was in the parking lot on the other side of the school.

It's decided. We're dead.

"Yay… about that," I said nervously, "It's in parking lot D."

Now Sam had the I want to murder you face on too.

"What." He yelled, "You lead us to the gym for these stupid weapons that probably won't help at all just so we can run around again to get to your CAR."

I tried to calm down Sam. "Ok, I will admit, it was a stupid idea. Knowing that hunters from greek mythology are after me doesn't make me think straight. Also now isn't the time to be piss, it's the time to make it out here alive." I said hoping he wouldn't try to attack me.

Sam sighed knowing that fighting would get us nowhere. "Lead the way."

I nodded and when I was about to reach for the door. We both heard someone talking.

"Cole Velos we know you're in there. If you surrender, we will let your friend go. We only want you. If you dont we will come in with force. You have 5 minutes." A feminine voice said.

Right away I knew that the girl talking was Katelyn.

The odds weren't in our favor. If they were here to kill me, I probably wouldn't make it but Sam could.

The thought of leading a friend to their death or being captured was something I never wished of. It was fair for him to be put into this situation when he wasn't supposed to be in.

Knowing what had to be done I took a deep breath and headed for the door. I stopped when a hand was layed on my shoulder.

"There is no way in hell your going to be capture just to save me. That's not the plan at least for me." Sam said.

"I don't care. We barely survived when they were in groups of three, but if all 12 were to attack at once, game over. Just let me do this so you can go." I said hoping he would change his mind.

What happen next was something I didn't except.

Sammy pulled down his pants revealing very hairy legs, that kinda look like goat legs.

I blinked a few times staring at his legs.

"E-Explain." I manage to say.

Sam started to chuckle at my reaction.

"This is probably the worst time to do this, but Cole I'm a satyr and your protector." Sam finish with a grin.

"What," I said in shock, "you're a satyr from greek mythology."

"Yes," Sam said in a reassuring way, "I will explain more later, but now the only thing I will say is that my job is to protect you. Not vice versa, so there is no way your going to be capture to save my ass."

"But-" Was the most I could say before Sam interrupted me.

"No buts. We're getting out of this and if you surrender I surrender. No matter where you go, I'm coming with unless the job is over. So make a plan."

I couldn't help but smile. Here was a person or goat I didn't know at this point, that had the chance to get out of this messed, but chose to help me out.

What a friend.

Thinking up the best plan I could.

My smile turned to a grin.

I turned to Sam whispering the plan.

"Got it." I told Sam.

He returned back with a nod and duck behind a folded table near the door as I turned off the lights. Making the room pitch black.

The only light that could be in the room was if the door open.

Both me and Sam were hiding trying to blend in.

My spot was about 13 feet away from the door looking directly at it with me also having an arrow nocked aiming at the door. Sam was still duck behind the folded table.

My plan would only work if there was three hunters. I prayed to any god hoping they would get me out of this.

As seconds gone by still waiting, I heard Katelyn's voice. "Looks like time is up Cole. I was hoping we would have to come in there and punish you for escaping."

After she finish the door busted open from one of the hunters kickin it.

Looking at the doorway from inside the room you could see everything, but no the other way around.

Three hunters enter the room. Katelyn in the middle and the other two on both sides of her.

All had an arrow nocked, however they were basically aiming at nothing.

The plan was working great so far. I just need to signal Sammy to do his part.

"Cmon Cole, the dark won't hide you forever," Katelyn said teasingly, "Madison turn on the lights please."

The hunter on her left went for the switch. I couldn't let her turn the lights on, so I redirected my aim on to her.

Just as Madison was about to flipped the switched I let go of the arrow, zooming by the other two hitting the her in the leg.

Even though the arrows were dull, the arrow I shot pass through her leg.

The hunter slammed to the ground letting a painful scream. This was Sam que to join in.

When both hunters turned to see what happen. Sam jumped up from his spot and slammed his steel pole at the hunter's stomach to the right of Katelyn.

The girl went flying out of the room hitting the floor hard, groaning in pain.

I wasted no time running straight towards the now confused Katelyn. Tackling her to the ground. Pointing an arrow to her neck.

Pinning her to the ground gave Katelyn no chance to escape.

I put on the smug grin that she hated. "Having a nice day so far." I asked trying not to laugh.

"Get off of me." She growled trying to squirm out of the hold I had on her.

"You are in no position to make demands." I said moving the tip of the arrow closer to her neck. I wouldn't actually killed her, but it did make a good bluff.

She kept silent waiting for me to talk while looking at me furiously.

"Man we got to stop running into each other like this. With the whole pointing a weapon at the other and all." .

"The next time will be the last time. We will hunt you down and there will be no escape." She growled trying to get out of the hold.

"Ok why is every phrase that you say from an action movie? Just talk normal." I asked.

Katelyn rolled her eyes still pissed off. "Stop treating this like a game Cole. Soon you will realize that what you are in is so complex that no male could ever understand it."

she was probably talking about the rumor and why did she make it that a male sounded like the worst thing you could be.

"Fine you want me to be serious Katelyn how about this." I said leaning in closer starting to whisper, "This rumor will not be the end of me. I'll end it myself. You can hunt me all you want, but you will never catch me. I am certain of that."

Both of else started to stared at each other. Even though I was inches away from her face, neither of us back down.

It was the most interesting staring contest I had ever had, but it would soon be interpreted by a weird sound.

I looked over to my right to seen the girl who had an arrow in her leg blow on a horn. Probably a signal to the other hunters for help.

Sammy shaked me saying it was time to go. I would of sprinted out of there will him in a nanosecond, but I had one more message that I said without thought.

"Let the hunt begin." I said looking back at her with the same old grin.

I got off the hunter and bolted out the gym with Sammy.

A/N I hope you guys liked this chapter, there were some parts that I had to put in time to make sure it made sense. Instead of that any reviews are welcome and chapter 3 will probably come out next week maybe earlier.
