Alison's POV
I waited for him to wake up.
"Alison?" he asked.
"No stupid. Your immortal grandmother who should be dead by now," I answered, with a small smile playing onto my lips as I joked.
He frowned then smiled back when he realized I was joking. "Oh. How long was I out?"
"Ten minutes. Don't worry i told everyone the Hunters are coming because Chiron found you laying here and asked me to tell everyone. He thought you were asleep."
"Thanks."
I helped him up.
"So what can you do if your mother is Artemis and why do you hate the Hunters?"
"I hate the Hunters because when I asked Artemis whether she'd have the Hunters or me she picked the Hunters over me. Without any hesitation. Then she camped outside my cave I lived in when I was coming here and i had to listen to her and Zoe-" I spat the name with digust "-tell others stories about all the hunts they've done together. After that i lost it. I went inside and told them to leave cause it was my territory and she allowed Zoe to attack me and beat me up," I gasped after such a long conversation.
"Ouch."
He put his arm around me and gave me a light squeeze. I made myself smile a half smile that faded as soon as I saw them. I growled when one of the came over to me and Nico. Nico nudged me giving me a look that said 'be good'. I sighed. the girl looked at us and motioned towards Nico's arm which had comfortably rested on my shoulder.
"Something you forgot to tell me, cuz."
"Cuz?"
He looked at me. "This is my cousin Alison. She is the daughter of Zeus."
She held out her hand. "Thaila Grace."
I stared at her hand as if it bacteria and germs and bad stuff on it.
She pulled it back when she realized I wasn't going to shake it.
"Um. Oh yeah after lunch do you want to play some games in my cabin?"
I was about to say no rudely and walk away when Nico bursted in and said, "Sure we'd love to."
