Well I got a warm welcome from the hunters...I seriously don't know why they aren't mad at me. Thalia was the first to say welcome back, and the the others slowly started to walk up to me and welcome me. These aren't the hunters I know or seen. They're supposed to hate men...Right?
Artemis still had to be the leader so she was the last to welcome me, when she welcomed me, I suddenly remembered that hug she gave me. It was so comforting, and warm. Someone I want to stay with forever...But a goddess and demi-god can't be together forever. Well as a couple I mean. Anyway, I was told to rest for now, later on today, we'll be going for Kronos's armies, take out as much as we can before Kronos rises.
When I was asleep, I was dreaming about Nico, he was at camp half-blood. Thank goodness. He was in the big house, in the room I first woke up in. "I hate him..." He cried, as he was crying the air around Nico seemed to turn cold. 'If you resent him, I could help you with that.' A heavy and ancient voice spoke.
'I could even bring back your sister if you want...' That can be none other than Kronos.
Nico froze, "Who...Who's there?" His voice was shaky. He tried to wipe the tears off his cheeks but they were frozen already.
'I'm someone who can help you, that is, if you can help me...' Kronos said, he was so persuasive I almost felt like helping. And I was afraid Nico would also agree to help him. Nico hesitated.
'You could be with your sister again, just the two of you, like old times.' Kronos's tone was convincing.
Nico tried to speak, but his voice wasn't working.
'All you have to do...Is renounce the gods and join me, and then you can have her back, just the two of you.' Kronos said.
Nico was thinking hard about this, I could see him actually start believing him, no he can't join him...Just then I heard some foot steps come up the stairs and waited at the door where Nico was. Kronos said, 'I'll be waiting for your answer...' And then he retreated.
Chiron walked in and looked at Nico with a smile, "I see you're back already, how did you do?"
Nico was still shock by what just happened, Chiron's smile faded. And then I woke up, Artemis was standing over me, "Well it's been five hours, I think that should be enough sleep for you." She said and sat down beside me. I shrugged, "I guess." I said and sat up and stretched. I guess I looked troubled because Artemis asked me what's the matter, I told her all about my dream, "That cannot be good...If he joins his cause, he'll just be that much closer to his goal." She said distastefully.
I nodded in agreement. I feel like this is my fault, but Artemis, Thalia and Annabeth kept telling me it wasn't my fault. I looked around, "Where are the others?"
Artemis pointed ahead of us, "They'll be waiting for us at the next stop, one of Kronos's hideouts. He has a lot more, this one is smaller. The others will become more larger when we get to them, only because they'll start to realize that we're taking out all of his forces." She explained to me. I smiled, "I can't wait for this."
It was just a little after sunset, hunting in the nighttime is usually best for the hunters, especially for a son of Hades. There it was, a small camp with monsters all over the place, why would they be so carefree in a forest? Don't the realized that this is where Artemis hunts?
Who cares at this point, because they aren't going to be here for long. We started to sneak around te camp, sending hunters all over, in the trees behind some huge bushes, I was the backup, only for now. But being backup doesn't bother me. Because that means the hunters are slowly starting to trust me.
Once everyone was in place, I had to distract the monsters. "Well, well, well, what do we have here!?" I yelled loud enough for everyone to hear. "We having a sleep over or something!?"
A bunch of monsters looked at me, they were stunned a little, so it took them a while to realize I was alone. They picked up their weapons and charged towards me. "See ya." I said and walked away, "You aren't going anywhere!" One called after me.
I ignored it and kept walking, after two seconds I started to hear nothing, just monster after monster being pecked off by a hunter.I looked back and found four monsters left, they were looking around scared, "No...This is against the ancient laws!" A monster shouted. I laughed, "You should have thought about that when you killed one of our hunters!" The words tasted sour coming out of my mouth.
Good morning! I'll two more chapters up today, hopefully long chapters. But I'll have them up.
Thanks for reading!
