Bella POV
After bringing our deer back to camp and having dinner, I went back to my tent with Kira and Thalia. A horn sounded and Artemis yelled, "Everyone outside! We have a hellhound hunt before bed! Get your things and meet by the camp entrance in five!" I immediately strapped my quiver and bow around my back, put my daggers in my belt, and ran outside into the identically-dressed throng of girls. Artemis yelled, "Thalia, Bella, and I will lead the teams! Bella will lead first attack while Thalia and I come in when she's got their attention!" I ran up to one of the tall logs that the team leaders used and jumped up. I yelled, "I want a group of ten! Nicky! Kira! Jennifer! Luna! Linda! Sierra! June! Hailey! Luray! Sharon!" The girls immediately ran up and grouped beside me once I had dropped down onto the ground. My group ran into the woods and it wasn't a half hour before Sierra said quietly, "I see a cave! It smells like hellhound!" I looked over to where she was pointing and, sure as shit, there was a cave that smelled like hellhounds. I shushed the girls and we silently gathered beside the cave. I sent Kira out, looking like a scared traveler, and the first two hellhounds walked out of the cave. She looked at them, seemingly afraid, and they began trotting towards her. I let out a fierce war cry and my group loosed our arrows at them. Kira ran into the bushes, grabbed her weapons and shot the hellhounds until her arrows ran out. As the hellhound numbers increased, nearing forty, Thalia's group swooped in and shot about half. Artemis came in a second later and her girls caught the rest. Still, more poured from the cave. One pounced on Thalia and opened a wide cut on her arm and another on her leg. I shot the hound and helped Thalia up. I yelled, "Thalia's hurt! I'm taking her back!" Artemis yelled her consent while bashing a hellhound with her bow. Slowly but surely, we made our way towards camp. After laying Thalia down in her bed and getting her to press some towels onto her wounds, I ran to the pond with a bucket to get some water. I filled the bucket and ran back to camp. I started a roaring fire and put the water on to boil. When it finally boiled, I soaked some sheets and tied them around the wounds. Thalia said, her voice a little cracked, "Nectar!" I ran to Artemis's tent and grabbed a little vial from her shelf. I brought it back to Thalia and said, "Drink up." She downed the tiny vial and her wounds immediately stitched together. Thalia smiled once the nectar had taken effect and said, "Better. But, I'm still a little sore." I smiled and helped my friend up. She immediately said, "Let's get back." I heard chattering voices from outside and said, "Nah. They're back." I looked outside and immediately drew my head back in. I tied the flaps of the tent shut and said, "Meínete íosychio. Prépei na vgoúme éxoo to písoo drómo." Thalia nodded and I moved a wood board that housed a tunnel that ran underneath the tents. I lowered Thalia down with her weapons and dropped mine in too before I jumped down. We followed the tunnel until it curved upwards on the other side of the pond and then lifted ourselves out. I heard a voice say from camp, "I saw them go in here but-HELLO! Look at this! A tunnel!" I cursed, "Skatá!" I grabbed Thalia's hand and we began running towards the battle. After we arrived and, seeing the Huntresses were getting pounded, began fighting, a huge hellhound tried to pounce on Thalia. I plunged my dagger into it and it exploded into dust. Thalia breathed, "Thanks, Xena." I nodded and plunged my knife into another hellhound that was about to pounce on another girl that had her back turned. It looked like Artemis had left. I yelled to Kira, "Where's Artemis?" She yelled, "More arrows! We're alone until she gets back with the girls!" I screamed in frustration and shot a little hellhound that was trying to bite Thalia's leg. I kicked away several more and yelled, "There's too many! Get into the trees!" Everyone did and, as I was climbing, I felt a large set of teeth grab my leg. I cried out and was dragged down. When it let go, I turned around and waited for it to attack. I stood when it didn't and, after I stood, it pounced. I couldn't respond fast enough and it crushed a couple ribs and scratched my arm pretty deep. I plunged my knife into it and the rest of the hellhounds fled. I coughed and it caused sharp pains to run through me. I heard Thalia scream from somewhere in the distance and it all went black.
