2. The offer

Artemis told me to walk with her so I followed her into the woods. As we walked she asked me " Julie would you like to become one of my hunters? You would be immortal and you would have your freedom and go on adventures with me and the other girls, you would have a family and a home."

I repeated " home, family." I stood there in awe thinking about this one in a lifetime offer, I couldn't say no, then again I couldn't leave Peter alone hurt the way he was, so I replied " no, I'm sorry but I can't, I have to care for my step-brother, I'm sorry."

Artemis didn't look hurt she simply replied " very well it is your choice I can not change that." I said thank you and we returned to camp. After dinner we went to bed and I was quite happy with my response.

In the morning Artemis woke me up and told me Peter was fine and that she was ready to take me and Peter to camp. " camp?" I asked her and she said " it's a camp for special kids like you and your brother." we got up and the hunters put away the camp as fast as they set it up. Then Artemis whistled and 2 horses with wings appeared and snorted kindly and softly to me and Peter who looked much better, the cut on his forehead had disappeared and he had a sling on around his neck holding his arm.

We got into the horses which Artemis told us they were Pegasus' and then she clapped and we soared into the air. Once we were about 100 feet into the air I finally found out that I was afraid of heights, I looked down and saw the city of Manhattan and almost screamed but as soon as I started the Pegasus got uneasy and I almost fell off so I breathed deeply and I calmed down.
