Chapter Two

I hope the first chapter was bearable, again I need help on the title so if you have any ideas please tell me. If there's anything you think I should change tell me also and maybe I'll consider it ;). So chapter two…Let's do this!

When Katherine woke up the rain had stopped. Her clothes were damp, but other than that mostly dry. She noticed Hunter was gone and decided that he had left to go to the bathroom. But then she realized he could have just done it in a corner since he was a dog…

After about ten minutes of sitting alone trying to figure out where Hunter might be he strolled into the alley with a bag in his mouth. He dropped the bag in front of Katherine.

"What's in the bag?" She asked.

Open it and find out, Hunter replied. Katherine rolled her eyes and opened the bag. In it were two wrapped up hot dogs. She gasped.

Where and how did you get these?! She exclaimed.

You'd be surprised how well the "puppy dog eyes" trick works, He said. She smiled and took one of the hot dogs out of the bag. It didn't have ketchup or anything on it, but she didn't care. She wolfed it down, glad to finally have some food.

I got two for you, sorry I couldn't get more, Hunter said. Katherine looked at him, dumbfounded.

You're not going to have the other one? She questioned.

No, you need it more than I do, He replied.

No I don't! You've gone without eating just as long as I have. Eat the dang hot dog,

I don't need—

Eat the damn hot dog for crying out loud! I'm not going to eat it! You need food too. Hunter finally gave in and ate the hot dog. Katherine stood up and stretched, happy that the rain had stopped. In the back of the alley was a full length mirror.

She stood in front of it looking at herself. Her jet black hair now went to the small of her back. She liked the single blonde streak in it, on the right side of her head, it looked cute. Her left eye had a nasty scar from when the Cyclops had captured her. She couldn't see out of her left eye anymore and it was now a clear white, no longer an electric blue. Her right eye wasn't blue anymore either. For some reason, it was purple.

She remembered when she was at Camp Jupiter and saw that her eyes had changed to purple. She had asked Jason about it and he had said that it was just a disease that happened rarely. The disease wasn't harmful, it only made her eyes purple.

Katherine sighed, she missed Jason.

Why don't you go back? Hunter suddenly asked.

Because I don't belong there Hunter. Everyone hated me, they feared me because of these stupid powers the Shape Shifters gave me. I didn't want to continue living like that, so I ran away, She replied.

But you left Jason. You didn't even say goodbye to him you just left, Hunter said. A tear found its way down Katherine's cheek.

I know, I know and that was wrong of me, but I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how he'd react. He'd probably disagree with me and not let me go. He'd say that I did belong and he and Zach and Lilly would be there for me, She said, wiping away her tears.

That's because he loved you, Katherine, She didn't reply, she just stood there looking at her reflection in the mirror. She didn't see a helpless demigod, she saw a heartless monster. One who didn't belong anywhere.

Hunter came by and sat by her feet, looking at himself in the mirror as well. He looked up at Katherine and ran off into the piles of trash and boxes behind the mirror.

What are you doing? She asked him. Hunter continue rummaging through the junk and suddenly trotted over to Katherine with something in his mouth. It was a ribbon. Just a simple white ribbon someone might put in their hair.

I think you would look better with your hair tied up, instead of dangling down around you, He said. Katherine took the ribbon from him and held it in her hands.

Just a thought, He said. There's a drinking fountain just outside the alley if you want to wash it off and use it. Katherine smiled and walked out of the alley with Hunter at her heels. She found the fountain and started rinsing off the ribbon. When she thought it was clean as it could get she put her hair up in a ponytail. Some of her hair in the front was too short to fit into the ponytail so she just tucked it behind her ear.

Thank you, Hunter, She said. Hunter nodded his head. Katherine turned around and suddenly bumped into someone. Their bags fell to the ground, spilling groceries and blue candy everywhere.

I'm going to be mean and leave this on a cliff hanger . Blue candy, could it be? LOL you'll have to wait till the next chapter haha sorry I'm evil like that. So I hope you liked this chapter and I hope you continue to read my updates. I'll have a little more time because of Spring Break this week (YAYAYAYA!) so I wont be caught up with school.
