Okay Sal could explained this why he agreed.
Okay never mind, he can't do it. It's too hard for him. Even he didn't know why he did that.
It was the month September and everybody in the Hunt seem to not like the month today for no particular reasons. He had asked Phoebe about it.
" It's because no monsters come out anymore!" Phoebe had complained.
To Sal it was a very stupid reason. It's like they wanted to be killed and sliced to bits.
Of course he's bored and all. However, it doesn't mean he likes to be covered in dust all the time.
Plus it will just ruins his Nike shoes and he prefers it really clean thank you very much. It had costed a lot and he didn't want to replace them again.
Today the Hunt was off after their mission to hunt down the monsters in the woods.
" Hey you want to hear a joke about bananas." Sal said to Thalia.
" Sure I'm bo-." She said.
" Never mind you'll go bananas if you hear this." He interjected.
The daughter of Zeus just looked at him and rolled her eyes at his lame joke.
" Lame" She said while smiling. Sal just seem to thought about it for a while.
" What do you call a fake noodle?" He asked. Thalia looked at him incredulously.
" Sal I-." Thalia begin.
" An impasta!" He said cheerfully.
Suddenly a bright glow and both of the hunters turned away.
When the light faded, Thalia looked at who it was. She groaned as she saw the familiar goddess.
" Aphrodite." She snarled. The goddess of love just smiled sweetly and dangerously.
" Is this how you treat a goddess. Especially an Olympian." She said. Thalia just growled but didn't say anything.
" Thalia be nice. We always be respectful with Olympians." Sal said. He then turned to Aphrodite.
" What do you want?" He asked bluntly. The goddess of love just went forward. But left a space between the two.
" Can't I just visit you?" She said sweetly. The masked hunter just shook his head.
" Anyway I'm here for a business." She said.
" I have a daughter in New York. I want you to save her from her evil step-father." She continued. The masked hunter nodded and then proceeded to salute her goodbye.
Thalia sighed in relief.
" Finally that woman is gone." She said. The masked hunter just chuckled before heading to Artemis's tent.
" Yo boss!" He yelled loudly. There was no answer.
" Boss!" He repeated. This time a muddle could be heard. There was some shuffling that's happening inside. The flaps open and there stood was the goddess of moon wearing her normal outfit. However, her hair was sticking everywhere.
Sal snickered silently. The goddess of moon glared at him.
" If you're just going to laugh. Then go away. I need my daily sleep or I go insane." She said. Sal just smiled.
" Well all I need is lots of energy drinks and coffee to keep me going for the days. Sometimes I even go on for a week without sleeping." He boasted in the end.
" And then you collapse and we have to sent you to the infirmary for lack of sleep." Phoebe said walking up to them. She had some of the hunters along with Thalia with her.
The masked hunter just pouted inside.
" Anyway Aphrodite wanted me to be her daughter's knight in shining armor. So I decided to tag you guys along." Sal told Artemis. He then went to the kitchen.
After a while, he came back with cups of coffee. He gave one to each of the hunters who were allow to drink it.
" Awake now?" He asked Artemis.
" Better but would been better if you didn't interrupt my sleep." Artemis said.
" Anyway the whole hunt. You do know it's consist of 19 hunters right?" Artemis said. The masked hunter just shrugged.
" Why not? Plus these young hunters need to see the other side of the world anyway." Sal said. Finally, Artemis agreed.
A while later, the Hunt was ready for their expedition to the human world.
" Here we go go go!" Sal sang. Artemis rolled her eyes before flashing them to New York City.
It was day time and the Manhattan was a very busy place.
" One question. Do you gals parkour?" He asked. The hunters were confused but still nodded. Sal sighed in relief.
" Okay follow me." He said before jumping onto the ledges of windows and climbed up to a building's top.
The others proceeded to follow with Artemis last.
" Why did I agree to this." She said before jumping up.
Up top they could see the whole city in one view. It may not be as pretty as it is when it's night time. But still amazing.
The mortals looked up and point at them.
" we're busted." Phoebe said slightly panicked. The masked hunter who now had a mask that covered his eyes and only exposed part of his mouth.
" Follow me." Sailor said before jumping across rooftops. Artemis looked down and saw the mortals pointing at them and some even got a phone out. She ignored them and then continued to follow Sailor or Salomao Hunter.
She had thought they would have been followed by the police. However, none of them have been present to them yet.
She did heard about the policeman who nearly was dead when they tried to capture Sailor. Artemis thinks the police are now just hiding cowardly.
" Bunch of cowards." She heard Sailor muttered. Apparently, Sailor had thought the same thing. They were scared of Sailor Hunter. That's why they didn't immediately did something.
The group headed to the coast. There Artemis saw a tiny cottage. It seem to look like an abandon one at first until you see all the resources that is provided for life.
Artemis could hear some talking.
" Go get me a beer Ellen." Someone had said.
" Get me my socks." The same person commanded.
Artemis clenched her fist.
" WHERE IS MY BEER!" The man shouted loudly that the hunters who were few hundred of feet away could hear it.
Thalia was about to jump down from the tall building. Sailor just looked at her and shook his head.
" Not yet. Plus, are you seriously jumping down from a 100 ft building?" Sailor said. Thalia just looked at the ground. Her eyes fixed to the concrete while her fist were tighten.
Then they heard a loud slap sound. For mortals, maybe not so loud. But they were immortals. Naturally, they could sense what is happening.
Sailor's eye grew cold inside his mask.
" Now." He said before jumping down. Thalia just looked at his back incredulously before jumping along him.
Phoebe looked at where the both jumped. She turned to Artemis who looked at the spot where Thalia jumped in shock.
" Two crazy half immortals." Phoebe heard Artemis muttered.
The goddess of moon summoned a bunch of parachutes and then headed off.
Thalia forgot she couldn't fly like her brother. She also forgot that she didn't have a parachute. But at that time, she didn't care. She was too worried about Sal jumping off a roof.
Sailor opened his parachute at the last moment. He was about to head to the cottage when he notice Thalia was falling.
" Styx!" He muttered before heading there as fast as his parachute can go.
Right as Thalia was about to land on the ground, he scooped her up.
" Do you have a death wish!" He said to Thalia as they landed on the ground.
" Great now we have to walk there." He mumbled.
Sailor walked with Thalia to the cottage. They notice the door was already broken down.
" They just can not wait can't they?" Sailor muttered before walking in. Immediately he smell the blood from mortal humans.
There was a tiny young girl about 8 years old sitting in the corner. She had bruises all over her and her face had an obvious red mark from before.
The hunters were formatting a circle around a unconscious man. His face was all bruised up.
" Hmm, I didn't think he could get any uglier." Phoebe growled out with a glare on her face. Most of them do but Artemis had a calm looking face.
However from Artemis's physical movements, Sailor could tell She was angry.
An evil smile creeped up his face. He cracked his hands and motion the hunters to go out.
" I have a bad feeling about this." Phoebe muttered before going out following by the others.
" Boss would you mind to put sound proof walls." Sailor said summoning some ropes and hung it on a hook. He glanced and the young daughter of Aphrodite Ellen.
" Oh and sent her away too. This is PG-18." Sailor said. Artemis nodded and went out with Ellen.
The door was closed and Sailor turned to the unconscious man. He grinned sadistically and went forward.
A while later, Sailor came out. Artemis looked at him skeptically. She went in and pale at the sight.
" Hades." She managed to say out before going back out. The scene was a little to bloody for her liking.
The whole room was all filled with the color red. The man who is now decapitated sits in his bathroom tub. The water was mixed with blood. His head was hung and was swinging back and forth. The wall in front of the head had a bloody happy face on it. There is many other stuff that Sailor did. But, Artemis didn't want to get to the details.
" That was very dark." Artemis muttered. Sailor just grinned.
" Bad guys need his punishment." He said.
Artemis just sighed and led the hunters away following by Sailor.
They walked into the chaotic city with Ellen next to them.
Ellen apparently had agreed on joining the hunt.
Now the family is now 20 people and not 19.
Aphrodite suddenly appeared next to them. She motioned Sailor to come to the nearest aisle seductively. Artemis just growled silently under her breath.
Sailor followed Aphrodite to an aisle. Immediately he was hugged by the goddess of love. However, Sailor just looked at her with his cold smile. He couldn't express it in his eyes so why not a smile? Next best thing.
" Thank you Sailor. I owe you everything." Aphrodite started to say.
" Speak what you want." Sailor said coldly.
" I want you to come see the Christmas lights with me 3 months later." She said. The masked hunter was about to looked at her incredulously when he realize she can't see his usual yellow eye.
" Don't you have Ares for that?" He asked. The goddess of love just pouted.
" These Days he kept going to the Olympus Gym to workout and muttering about how he's going to pummel you to death." She said while pouting.
" That's nice..." Sailor muttered.
" Fine I'll go." He agreed but didn't know why he did. It just felt natural when he said yes to Aphrodite.
Aphrodite just squealed excitedly before hugging Sailor and flashing away.
" Why did I even agreed to this?" He mumbled to himself and started walking to the hunters. However, a tiny noise catch his attention.
Next to a trash can was a cat. The cat had black fur but with white fur on the belly and on the tip of its tail.
The cat had yellow eye on one side and an light blue eye on the other.
Sailor crouched down and petted the cat.
" Who would throw you away." He muttered before picking the cat up and bringing it to the hunters.
" Uhh Sailor, Why is there a cat in your arms." Artemis asked pointing at the cat. The cat just growled and cuddle in more.
" Found it next to a trash can and decided to save the cat's life." He explained shortly.
" What's the cat's name." Thalia asked going forward and petted the cat.
Sailor looked at the cat in its eye.
" Hmmm I could tell it is a girl. So let's call you Nemo!" Sailor said excitedly. Thalia smacked his head.
" We're not calling her by a fish! Hmm how about Selina?" Thalia suggested. The cat seemed dislike that name as she just silently growled.
" Hmm how about Lunar?" Artemis suggested looking at the cat's eye. Its eye color made Artemis think of the moon. Yellow and yet a silvery color. The cat's eye had that effect. Even though it's icy blue but still light enough to think it is silverish.
" Lunar it is!" Sailor agreed looking at Lunar who purred at that name.
" Can we go home now I'm hungry." Morgan said.
" Of course!" Artemis said. Sailor suddenly started to run. He turned back and looked at the older hunters.
" Whoever is last place needs to do the dishes." He challenged them.
" Challenge accepted!" Artemis said smirking before running off along with Sailor.
" Hey you guys got a head start!" Tracy yelled.
" Yeah no fair!" Celeste yelled out. The older hunters started to run along with the younger ones also who tried to catch up.
Sailor continued to run along with Lunar in his hand. He didn't care if people looked at him weirdly. All he care is that he's having a race with friends.

AN: To the people who's still reading this somehow, I'm appreciates it. Feel free to give me some advices and criticisms. Just be nice about it. People have feelings. But anyway, I'm a kind of one minded person. So it's hard for me to try and publish it on FanFiction while at the same time continuing on with Wattpad. Hope you understand.
