Chapter 11: The Hunters Take Revenge

The next morning I was woken by a loud scream. It was a boy's scream and I recognized it as Connor's.

I opened my eyes and jumped out of bed. I saw that the cabin was in chaos.

A group of girls in silvery Hunter outfits were shooting arrows at the campers. Connor and Travis were lying on the ground and both looked dazed from nasty whacks to the head.

I grabbed a sword from a wall wrack and charged at the Hunters.

"Nico, no!" said Travis "It's us they want, we were the ones who gave Phoebe that stupid t-shirt, go!"

I ignored him and started fighting with a Hunter. Unfortunately for me the Hunter was much faster than me and I had a lot of trouble stopping her from stabbing me or shooting me.

"You brought this on yourselves!" shouted one of the Hunters.

"Leave them alone! They didn't do anything wrong!" Connor screamed.

"No!" she shouted back "You will pay for this insult the hard way you foolish boy!"

I parried the Hunter's knife again but just as fast she drew a second and stabbed me in the arm.

"OW!" I shouted.

"Enough!" shouted a new voice. It was Chiron and he looked furious.

"You are guests!" he shouted at the Hunters.

"We did not want to come here in the first place!" a Hunter shouted back.

"Get back to your cabin!" Chiron ordered.

"Fine!" the Hunter said and the others followed her out.

"Are you all right?" Chiron asked me.

I looked at my arm and saw that it was bleeding badly.

"I'm ok." I said and tried to find something to wrap around my arm.

"Here." said Chiron holding out a pastry square of some kind.

"Eat that." he said.

"What is it?" I asked, suspicious.

"Ambrosia, food of the gods." he said.

I took the ambrosia and ate it. It tasted like birthday cake. I had only had birthday cake once at my last birthday. Bianca had bought it for me and it had tasted great.

I looked at my arm and I saw that it had stopped bleeding and was closing up.

"Wow," I said, "That stuff is powerful."

"Indeed." Chiron said "Well, I should go." he said and left.

I noticed that none of the other campers had bad injuries. Travis and Connor were ok apart from having a new bump to the head each and everyone only had minor injuries.

I sighed. Why did I have to be the only one who was stupid enough to charge the Hunters?

"Well," said Travis, rubbing his head, "The Hunters got their revenge."

I nodded in agreement. The Hunters definitely had their revenge.
