A/N- sorry it's taken me so long to update, it just I've been really busy and stuff, and also I've hit a bit of writer's block with this story so any idea's will be awesome :D
Disclaimer- I don't know Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Chapter 3.
Myles POV.
"We come in peace" I squealed, raising my hands in surrender.
"Shut up" a girl with blonde hair snapped.
"Dude, just go with the flow, and only answer qeusti-"
"Shut up!" Mo was interrupted by the blonde girl.
"They are boys trespassing into our camp, I'm sure Lady Artemis would not mind if we were to dispose of them" A black haired girl uttered, pulling back on her bow string.
"Thou shall not do such a thing" I loud and clear voice ordered. A girl with fiery golden hair strode into followed by Lady Artemis herself.
"Milady, we were just going to dispose of the-"
"Thalia, they are guest of the hunt. Hunters stand down."
The black haired girl's hand slackened on the string, as did the others.
The fiery golden haired girl didn't even nod her thanks. She just strode purposely up to us, and engulfed us in a giant hug.
"Willow" I whispered hugging her back.
"Myles, Mortimer, what are you doing here? In New York especially, it's suicidal!" she asked us, taking a step back.
"You know them?" The girl, Thalia, asked bewildered.
"Of course I know them, they're my brothers." Willow replied, slinging an arm around one of our shoulders.
"Your brothers? Even if you had brothers, they would have been dead by now. I've been told that you've been here longer then even Zoe has" Thalia asked, clearly confused.
"Fine then, let me rephrase that. They are my immortal brothers" Willow replied to Thalia, then rounded on us.
"You still didn't answer my question"
"It was Mo's idea" I blurted out, pointing to him.
"Boys, always blaming it on other people" I heard someone mutter.
"Hey, it's true, it really was his idea" I defended myself.
"Guilty as charged." Mo smirked raising his hands in mock surrender.
"Ok hunters, back to your tents. Willow, Thalia, boys, come with me" Artemis addressed us, then turned around and headed towards her tent.
As we followed Lady Artemis, I started to worry.
"What happens if another god or goddess turn up, or what if Lady Artemis' huntress' eavesdrop and tell Zeus or-"Mo cut me off
"Then we will do what we've been doing for years Mice"
"So we'll run, like cowards" I whisper to him, agitated
"If we have to then yes we will" I glares at me, telling me that the conversation was over. We were by now at Lady Artemis' tent.
We entered the tent after the girls, and waiting for them to sit down before we did.
"So my question" Willow asked, looking at us accusingly.
"Well…. You see, Mo had this crazy idea that if we hide in New York, Zeus won't find us-"
"What does my father have to do with this?" Thalia interrupted
"- and try to vaporise us" I continued ignoring Thalia.
"Wait, your father is Zeus?" Mo asked, looking worried.
"Yeah, and what did you do to piss him off?" Thalia asked, looking interested now.
"Nothing" Mo and I chorused.
"Seriously?" Asked Thalia sceptically, arching an eyebrow.
"Well your father wanted to vaporise me too, but I joined to hunt and escape him" Willow said from the corner, taking a sip of water of a glass.
"Why? That doesn't sound like my dad. Sure he likes to threaten people, but he always has a reason" Thalia asked, curious.
"Well, he does have a reason, it just wasn't our fault." I said, sighing.
"Whose fault was it? I could try to persuade my father to let you guys go, but no guarantees" Thalia uttered.
"It's our dad's fault" Willow answered.
"And don't go to Zeus, he'll just force you to tell him our location" Mo added.
"Alright then, I won't tell him, but who's your dad?, he must be pretty annoying to piss of my dad so much he's hunting down his kids"
"Apollo" Willow replied.
"The god of music, truth, the sun-"
"Don't forget poetry" Mo added
"-prophesies, and a few other things"
"Dang, I wonder what he did. But why isn't Zeus hunting down Apollo's other children as well?" Thalia asked.
"Because they are not ordinary children of Apollo" Artemis spoke up for the first time from her mat.
"They are the first 7 children of Apollo. They were born before Zeus forced Hecate to cast a spell on the gods so their children wouldn't be so powerful. He did it because he was afraid of their power."
"That's pretty sucky" Thalia whispered. "I wonder how powerful I would be if the spell wasn't there"
"You would be the same, Thalia." Mo answered.
"Zeus didn't cast the spell on himself, Poseidon, and Hades, Afraid he would cause a three way war between them." Artemis continued.
"Then why did he cast it on the cast it on the other gods? Wasn't he afraid they would rebel against him because of it? Why is he hunting them now?" Thalia asked question after question after question.
"Aren't you full of questions today Thalia" Willow said with a smirk.
"Yeah will I think I have a right to ask some questions, don't you think?" Thalia retorted.
I chuckled, and Mo just smiled to himself.
"Yeah, yeah ok, it's fair enough" willow sighed dramatically.
"Stop being such a drama queen Willow, and to answer your question, he's after us because he thinks we'll bring down Olympus or something" I chuckled. I honestly thought it was stupid.
"And I think he cast the spell without them knowing, but I think I figured it out sooner or later, but didn't do anything" Mo put in.
"Yeah, my father can be quite paranoid." Thalia chuckled
"Can't we all" Mo said with a sigh.
Lady Artemis coughed and we all looked towards her.
"You boys may stay here for a few days, but no disturbing my hunt, that means no flirting, pranks, or anything that I won't like"
"Yes Lady Artemis" Mo and I said in unison.
"May we hunt with your hunters though?" I asked
"Yes you may" Lady Artemis said with a flick of a hand.
"Now go, I have things to do, willow show them to their tent"
We took that queue to leave. Once outside we said goodbye to Thalia, then made our way to our tent. Our tent was on the outskirts of the camp site, which was sort of to be expected.
"Well here you are" Willow said to us smiling and pointing to the rather shabby looking tent.
"Thanks sis, beats the sewer any day" Mo said, hugging willow before going into the tent.
I made to follow him but willow stopped me.
"Aw, don't I get a hug" She pouted and spread her hands wide.
"Of course you do" I smiled and gave her a big hug.
"Cant….breathe…" she managed to get out. I pulled away and smiled.
"You wanted a hug"
"Shut up" She grinned and playfully punched my shoulder before turning to go.
"See you tomorrow Mice, sleep well bro" she called over her shoulder as she walked to her own tent.
"You too sis" I called back before climbing into the small tent. I crawled over a sleeping Mo and plopped myself down before falling asleep.
Hope you like
