I searched and searched, I couldn't find whatever was making me feel nervous, but what if this is trick? Well this is Kronos we're talking about. He likes to play tricks on people. So maybe he did this to go after the hunters again…He wouldn't do that twice…Would he?

As I was thinking about this, someone bumped into me, "Sorry!" He quickly apologized and ran away, he was in a rush. "Stop him!" Someone behind me yelled, I looked back and saw some police, oh no…I thought about helping, but I have my own problems. "Freeze!" another officer said but this time it was in front of me, he had his gun out. Is he crazy? There's too many people out here to shoot that. "I said freeze!" He shouted. He pulled the trigger, I couldn't stop myself, I slowed down time and ran towards the man that was going to be shot. No…He jumped out of the way, behind him was a little boy who tripped. I ran and pushed the boy out of the way, and grabbed the guy the police were chasing. The bullet bounced off me harmlessly. I released my power and time started up again.

The police were stunned, they don't know what just happened. "Let me go!" The man I was holding struggled. I looked at him, this feels good. The officers behind me finally caught up, "Cuff….Him!"

Once the man was secured, I tried to leave, but they stopped me, "You did a good deed. Thank you for your help." He said, but then he looked me over. Did he notice that the bullet bounced off me? He shrugged and turned around. Good.

I left quickly. Once I found a quiet ally, I got ready to shadow travel, I saw Artemis and the hunters ahead of me. They were just entering a forest, "Good." I said and shadow traveled.

I was ten feet a head of them, "Wyatt, how'd it go? You find out anything?" Artemis asked, I shook my head, "Sorry I got a little side tracked, but I couldn't find anything. I don't know, maybe it was Kronos just keeping me away from you guys, he's known for playing tricks on everyone." I told Artemis.

Her expression grim, "You could be right, but there was something definitely wrong there…"

I thought about going back, but then. "It had to be a trap, not for me, but for one of you. He wants me to leave you guys and then he'll probably have another unit attack you while I'm busy. I'm not saying you can't handle yourselves, but even with a goddess, it's hard to keep an eye on everyone." I said.

Artemis thought about this, "Alright, then we should keep moving. If he wants to keep us apart, then I have something for him." She said and smiled. She summoned an animal…A lion. "Nice." I said and smiled evilly. "Wyatt, you'll take Gray here, and go on ahead, we'll go after the next camp and meet you there." She told me.

"With pleasure, M'lady."

After I shadow traveled, the lion spoke in my mind, 'Why do I have to go with this kid that smalls like death?'

"I small like death? Really?" I checked, and groaned, "That is not a good sign…Maybe I should have taken Artemis's offer back at that lake." I chuckled, I guess I should take swim. I was actually not too far from a lake, lucky. I unclothed myself and jumped in, the lion waited for me, 'dammit boy, we don't have time for this.' He spoke.

"Yes we do!" I said happily and splashed water at him. He roared at me and went further away. 'Great, now I'm wet.' He complained and started licking himself. "Just so you know, I can understand animals." I told the lion. Oh wait…I think his name was Gray or something.

He stared at me, and just ignored me, I guess he's not amused that I can understand him. I spent ten minutes just floating around, thinking about all this stuff, like who was that blond dude? And why is he planning an attack on camp half-blood? And what's Ariadne's string? I probably would've known if I stayed at camp.

After I was done, I got out, and put my clothes on. 'Smelly human.' Gray said.

"Let's go, Artemis and the others are probably waiting." I told him. He roared at me, 'and who's fault do you think that is!?'

I sighed, "Whatever, let's just go."

He said nothing else, we just ran side by side. Our first order of business was to take out a camp in a place called Gold Hill. This place was close to the broader of Nevada and Utah, anyway, we surprised them and took em out without letting them alerting anything of their buddies.

"Nice job, and thanks for telling when that monster was behind me, but I'm immortal. I can't die." I said.

Gray didn't look convinced, which was easier to tell on an animal than a human. 'I'll believe it when I see it.' You know, Lions are kind of awesome, the way he made his way to the monster without alerting them was amazing, no wonder why Artemis picked this kind of animal. "Okay, I'll take us to Artemis, just let me…" I tried grabing him, he growled at me, 'Don't touch me!'

"Whoa! Take it easy, I have to hold onto you, unless you want to walk to her by yourself." I told him.

He growled and then he let me grab his fur, damn it was soft. I concentrated on Artemis, she and the hunters were not too far from us, I guess we're actually good on time. I shadow traveled anyway. I don't know why I always end up ten feet away from them when I shadow travel.

Artemis was alone, I made sure so I looked left and right, and then I walked up to her quietly…Hehehe, "Guess who?" I said in a deeper voice. She grabbed my hand and then she flipped me, "Whoa!" I landed on my feet and I didn't mean to, but I held onto her hand and used my strength and flipped her too, but then she landed on her feet, damn she's awesome. The last part I wasn't expecting, when she turned she kicked me right in the chest which took the breath right out of me.

"Oof!" I doubled over, "Damn Artemis! Nice kick." I told her and tried laughing but then I felt a little pain, that's not good. Why does my chest hurt? "Wyatt! What were you thinking?" She scolded me, I decided to hide my pained face with a smile, "Pay back? I don't know."

She frowned, "Did I hurt you?" She sounded concerned, "No, I'm the god of mortals, I can't get hurt." I chuckled lightly.

Artemis looked angry, and pulled me against her, she listened to my heartbeat, "It's making a doubled beat every two seconds. You're lying Wyatt."

Damn…

"It's nothing Artemis, just a sharp pain, but it's gone now." I assured her.

She still looked angry, the same look Chiron gave me when I left camp. "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't break a promise, did I? I'm okay now, you don't have to worry." I told her.

She slowly regained her cool. "Sorry, it's just…After losing Bianca, I've been worried about you. I'm scared that your heart can't take it."

"Wait." I said and held up my hands, "What do you mean my heart can't take it?"

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
