Da moon?
I no own PJ
By the time we had to get up the next morning, I could barely stand. Something was wrong with me. When I stepped outside I almost slipped on the snow, and decided to try to hug myself the rest of the day. I thought I would help me feel better somehow. Everyone who passed me asked "Are you ok?" or gave me a vengeful stare. They must've kept the grudge for me being on the bad side. Thalia came up behind me and patted my shoulder, which hurt worse than a blade. I couldn't help but scream, so Thalia's natural reaction was "Alex, what the heck is wrong with you?" At that point talking was the third most painful thing I could do. Not moving was second and moving was first. I didn't feel like facing the pain of talking, so I tried using my hands to speak. Thalia cocked her head like a dog and I had no choice but to say "Something is wrong with me…." My voice bounced through my throat like a sharp blade. Thalia could see that I was in pain and nodded. "Don't tell anyone." I managed to say.
Thalia sat with me at breakfast since she wasn't an official camper, and otherwise I would've been lonely. When she sat down she told me that I looked like a statue, and I realized that I wasn't moving or thinking about anything, which is unusual. I felt broken both physically and mentally broken at that point, I was beyond sick. I felt like I was alive with a dead body. It started snowing again and I could feel myself violently shivering, and I wanted to go tell Chiron to turn off the snow. "You're right, there is something wrong with you. How long have you felt like this?" Thalia covered her mouth as soon as she finished asking me, and I could tell she remembered what I told her earlier. I didn't mind though, I just smiled at her and whispered "Since the kidnapping." She stared at me like she knew something I didn't. Thalia didn't need words to tell me that my pain was connected to the kidnapper, and that the kidnapper had something to do with Luke. Annabeth passed by and must've seen something because as soon as she saw me she sat down. "Alex! You're eyes are fading, they're so light you can barely see the gray!" I dug my face into the table to hide it, but the pressure of my head was killing my arms. Slowly I lifted up my head and then stood up. I walked away with the snow all the way up to my ankles, and went towards the forest. That was one of the few places I felt at home.
My arms stretched out around me and I felt a string on my finger. It dug deep into my skin. The pain took me a minute to look at it, but when I did it sent a shock of fright and relief through me. It was a bow, but there weren't any arrows. I could barely hold it up. My finger started to burn. I looked at my finger and saw that I was bleeding, the bow was digging into my skin. With pain in my hand I slung it over my shoulder and slid down the tree that I was leaning on. I thought about the bow, which led to Artemis and Apollo, which led to me being put in the Artemis cabin. At that moment I was seriously considering that maybe I'm Artemis's daughter.
