Taylor's POV

I stormed out of the Big House, too furious to want to speak another word to that stupid goddess that proclaimed to be my mother. I stomped into the Poseidon cabin and slammed the door behind me, shaking the bunks from the impact. I sat down on my bed and began sobbing. My entire life had been a complete lie. I heard the door open and saw Kipcha walk over and sit down next to me.

"Everything…was a lie" I muttered as I buried my head against her shoulder. Her arm reached around and rubbed my back.

"I know…but now this explains so much of our childhood! Think of all the great things we can do! And with Artemis here, she can help us learn out powers!" she replied actually sounding amazed by all this. I moved away from her and was shocked.

"You think…this is okay?" I questioned.

"Well…yeah…I always had the feeling Annabeth wasn't really our mom. They way she looked at Percy with the sad look as if saying that we weren't really theirs and how they never had any other kids after us. I just kept going along with it because I knew that some day they would tell us the truth" she replied. I shook my head in complete disbelief at what I was hearing.

"If we're so special then how come you're the only one that has powers? When will I change the tide or drain the water that surrounds me?" I questioned.

"I don't know! Why do you think I know everything?" she questioned as she stood up.

"You were always mom and dad's favorite! Of course they would tell you something like this before me!" I screamed. Her eyes seemed to be blazing with fury.

"They didn't tell me a damn thing princess! And they loved you more because you were the more presentable daughter! They gave you anything your fucking heart desired!" she yelled before pulling out her sword. I reached behind me and pulled out my bow and prepared an arrow for a shot.

"Make your move Katelyn. You can't kill me" I growled as I tightened my grip on my bow. Kipcha gave me one last glare and threw her sword towards my feet. The celestial bronze fell onto the ground and made a clattering like sound.

"I'm not like you. I don't need to fight to fell satisfied with myself" she muttered before walking out of the cabin; little did I know that I thought that I would never see her again.

Kipcha's POV

I walked out of the cabin, tears in my eyes. My sister had turned on me because of who we are and what I thought about it. I walked into the Big House, tears starting to stream down my cheeks. Chiron was still in the living room, rubbing Artemis's back. The two looked up with a surprised look on their faces. Artemis wiped away er tears and stood, aging to look about 25 years old.

"What is it Katelyn?" she asked, her voice sounding shakey from crying. I shook my head and buried my head in her chest and began crying. Artemis was surprised but started to rub my back.

"She hates me…she hates me…" I murmured between sobs.

"Who?" Artemis asked in a soothing voice. I looked up at her and wiped away my tears.

"Taylor…because I accepted who I was…because I liked the idea of being a goddess and you as my mother…" I replied trying hard not to cry again. She sighed and moved a stray piece of hair out of my eyes.

"It'll be alright, just give her some time. Her world is changing and she doesn't know how to take the news" she said as she let go. I nodded and sighed, thoughts zooming through my head.

"I wish to join you" I stated in a serious tone, my eyes locked on hers.

"What do you mean?" Chiron asked curiously.

"I want to join the hunt" I replied. Artemis slightly smiled at my statement.

"Come, we must go to my cabin. There you shall take the oath" she said before heading towards the door. I smiled and walked out, the goddess following. We headed into cabin 8, all the hunters surprisingly screwing around. A few were gathered on the floor playing poker, betting drachmas and nail polish. Others were gathered around Thalia and Pheobe who were arm wrestling. Swiftly Thalia slammed Pheobe's arm down on the bed. The others cheered as Thalia shook hands with Pheobe, smiles on both faces. Artemis cleared her throat and all the hunters stopped what they were doing and gazed at her. She gracefully moved through the girls and sat down on the bed against the back wall. The girls then shifted their gaze to me, unsure what to think. Thalia stood up and walked over to Artemis. I walked over to the two, curious at what happens next.

"Katelyn…"Thalia said, shocked that I was here.

"It's Kipcha….I prefer it over Katelyn" I stated, looking down at my feet nervously.

"Do not be nervous my child, just repeat after Thalia the oath and then you'll be one of us" Artemis said warmly. I looked back up and nodded. I looked over at Thalia and waited to begin.

"Repeat after me" Thalia said, "I pledge myself to the goddess Artemis."

"I pledge myself to the goddess Artemis"

"I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maiden hood, and join the hunt" I repeated the lines and looked at Artemis.

"I accept" Artemis stated with a smile. The moonlight seemed to shine into the room through the window even brighter then usual, filling the cabin with a strange silver light. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in. I opened up my eyes and smiled.

"I am Kipcha, hunter of Artemis and goddess"
