I promised on the River Styx, that I would always be on time, and if I know I'll being taking longer, I'll extend that time. Kind of risky, since If I get captured or something, then I won't be able to get back to her.
Anyway, she said we were going to actually attack them head on, I didn't want to say this, but it slipped out, "That's crazy! There is over five thousand of them! Attacking them head on will just get people who are not immortal, killed!"
Artemis realized this and said, "Then that just means that you and I will have to fight them head on, while my hunters attack from the shadows." Artemis countered. I had one more thing to say about that. "And if they get caught?"
Thalia laughed, "We aren't useless little girls, Wyatt. We can handle ourselves."
the others agreed. My shoulders relaxed, "Yeah...Yeah, sorry. I wasn't thinking." I said to them and turned to Artemis, "Let's do this..." I still wasn't comfortable with Artemis fighting with me, because my mind will be on her, and then I'll try to protect her. Even though I know she's immortal, I'll still try to protect her, she's that important to me.
Artemis led the way, I followed and then the others, we were marching all the way to the top, but right now, we're only half ways. I poked Artemis, "Artemis...?" I feel as if she's still mad at me, she glanced back at me, "Hmm?"
Yup...She is, "Uh, listen...I truly am sorry for disobeying you...So just, you know?" I smiled shyly at her.
She looked confused, "Spit it out."
I sighed, "Stop being mad at me, I told you I was sorry, I even swore on the River Styx and everything." I whispered to her.
"Whoever said I was mad?" She raised her eye brow.
"N-No one, it just feels like you're mad...That's all."I stammered.
"Well, I'm not. So get moving." She ordered.
I moved on, I don't know about this...We actually all decided to wait a day before continuing, I felt a little relieved. But at the top of this mountain...What will we find?
I slept without having any dreams...Odd, I usually have a dream, but not this time, I wonder why?
Anyway, we broke camp as fast as set it up, "Uh...Artemis, I have to talk to you...In private." I said and went somewhere out of earshot. When I was sure no one could hear us I said, "Something feels weird...I didn't have any dreams last night, and I always have a dream."
Artemis frowned, "Describe this feeling you have."
"Uh, like we're going to see something bad...And that we won't get to the top easy." I explained to her.
Usually my feelings are right, which is why Artemis told everyone to stay alert, watch out for traps, and pay attention. We were getting close to the top when we ran into a large group of monsters.
"Kill them!" One roared. There was about thirty of them, are they trying to get me mad? I easily took out half of them and let the hunters do the rest. That fight lasted about ten seconds...Soon after that, another wave of monsters surrounded us.
"Come on! We don't have time for this!" I shouted and used my powers to get rid of all forty monsters. "Wyatt! No more using your powers." Artemis told me sternly.
I took a deep breath, "Yeah...Sorry I'm just getting frustrated." I apologized. Every time Artemis scolds me for something, everyone just watches, some see something is different about her when I use my powers, others just agree with her.
We had to retreat, because the monsters wouldn't stop coming. "Tomorrow we'll get to the top, for sure." I told Artemis reassuringly.
Thanks for reading! Hopefully I'll be able to get another chapter up today, since this one is short.
