Chapter 15

Percy POV

"Could you please stop that" I said to Zoe "I know you hate boys but you're making it hard for me to detect danger with all the hate coming off you". "To bad" Zoe said bluntly. "Have I done something to offend you" I asked. "Thy did get me dragged into a wild goose chase" She said. "That's not my fault" I said "I wasn't even looking for you guys or- well girls". "No thee were out here looking for Prometheus chains. Chains that can trap a god and all so thee can save your camp. Did thy forget there's already a quest going after the golden fleece!" She half yelled "or was thine ego just unable to handle not being on the quest."

I could literally feel my anger snap, no one is going to say that to me "I came here to help out the camp because I don't want to see the one safe place for my friends to be lost. What have you been doing sitting tight in your camp where a goddess just provides protection for you!" I yelled I could feel the other two hunters glaring at me but right now I didn't care "she just gives you partial immortality and enhances your abilities in exchange for a little self control".

Zoe POV

"You think it's easy being a hunter!" I shouted as I marched over to him. "Zoe stop!" Percy said but I ignored him "Zoe stop!" Percy yelled then he ran up and shoved my to the ground. I bounced off the ground and my side burned from the rock I hit. As I tried to get up I heard Percy scream but I didn't care "What the Hades was that fo-" the words died in my mouth as I saw why he was screaming. Perseus had shoved me because I was about to step in a bear trap and accidentally stepped in it himself.

I mental berated myself for not only failing to see such an obvious trap but also for getting saved by a male as well. "Merina, Donna get some water and a cloth" I shouted "Perseus put some pressure just above the wound". The boy did as I asked thinking surprisingly clear for the amount of pain from his wound. "Ok Merina as soon as I pull the trap out I want thee to dump the wound it should heal him right up. Donna stuff the rag in his mouth the metals dug into the bone so this will hurt" I said. Now I wasn't as strong as that chauvinist jerk Heracules and as much as I hate my father I'm still his and I alone of all his children inherited his strength, gripping the metal as tightly as I could, I ripped the steel trap in two.

I have to admit it was kinda intrigued with how Percy healed. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting but watching the water seem to boil on the wound was just fascinating. Once the water calmed I prodded the newly formed skin testing it, lucky for Perseus both the nerves and tendons had healed up fine but should probably stay off it for the rest of the day. "Merina and Donna break out the tents we are going to be sleeping here tonight" I said. Perseus tried over a dozen times to get up and help us make camp even though he was useless. I finally threatened to completely break his leg if he wouldn't sit down.

Donna made dinner for everyone except Perseus but he had apparently packed some food. Afterwards I was feeling guilty about getting the boy hurt, I was careless no two ways about it, so I went to apologize "Perseus I wanted to say I'm sorry that thy was hurt because of my carelessness". "Don't worry about" Perseus said. I nodded "If I may, thy doesn't seem to like the hunt why is that".

Perseus leaned back and scratched his head nervously "Well I don't actually hate the hunt I rather like the idea behind it. Empowering girls and all that, sounds great to me, in fact I remember going to a seminar my mother gave about just that back when I was 10. The thing I've got a problem with is what you do to family's. "There's 9 year old boy in the Aphrodite cabin that's a real trouble maker and not in a good way. When I first met him he literally broke a stick over my head. He won't talk and apparently he hasn't spoken in two years ever since his sister joined the hunters and I mean full blooded sister Tiana. When she joined he was told that his sister would be able to visit often but he hasn't heard from her since". I opened my mouth to speak but Perseus wasn't done.

"Lee Fletcher from the Apollo cabin was practically raised by his old sister Atlanta. I may not have been there but from what I heard they were as close as could be. She joined the hunt 8 years ago and they haven't even spoken to each other in 5. I guess it's really no secret that Camp Half Blood doesn't like the Hunt but can you really blame them. To them the Hunt is a cult that steals their sisters". I tried to keep my face as calm as I could "I've never heard that before" I said. "I'm not surprised" Perseus said "I doubt Lady Artemis meant to do this but unless she does something that's going to be her legacy. I guess it's ironic in a morbid way Lady Artemis swore off men because of the jerks out there but as she takes our sisters she's just creating more". I kept my calm expression and walked away but deep down I was shaken.
