I looked at the little girl, who had long brown hair, silver eyes and fair skin. She wore a short white dress, which went just to her knees, long golden sandals and a silver headband across her forehead.
"Y-you're Artemis?" I asked standing on shaky legs.
"Yes Maiden I am." Artemis said.
"But... you're just a little girl."
"Don't let that fool you." The teenager said.
I looked at the teenager. She had short spiky black hair, electric blue eyes and pale skin. She wore as black t-shirt that said 'Death to Barbie", black skinny jeans with slashes at the knees, black combat boots; she had on as white jacket and a similar headband as Artemis on her forehead.
Artemis opened her mouth to say something when Love and War came running pass her and Thalia, making them fall to the ground. They ran up to me and nearly ran into me.
"Marie, you ok?" War asked breathlessly.
"We heard you scream." Love said breathlessly.
"I'm fine." I said.
They both sighed and smiled. Then they flinched when Artemis, who was now an adult, smacked them in the back of the head.
"Love, War where in Hades have you been?! Aphrodite is worried sick."
Love and War rubbed their heads where she hit them. They were about to open their mouths, when Artemis spoke.
"On second thought don't tell me I don't want to know. Just tell me who your friend is."
Love put an arm around my shoulders.
"Aunty this is Marie, we think she may be a daughter of Demeter or Persephone." Love explained.
Artemis nodded her head.
"What makes you say that?" Thalia asked.
"She grew plants with thorns, when we were cornered by a group of Harpies." War said.
"Well, now that is out of the way, my huntresses are waiting. Come and War you better leave my huntress alone." Artemis said.
War smirked and wiggled his eyes brows, as he chuckled. I couldn't help but laugh at him.
Artemis and Thalia lead us to the woods just behind the cemetery and not too far in, was a about fifty tents and just as much, if not more girls. They all had white on and similar jackets and headbands as Thalia.
"Are this your huntress?" I asked.
"Yes they are." Artemis said.
As we walked by many, said "My lady" towards Artemis and War kept smirking at the huntress. Artemis and Thalia lead us to a tent, farther from the rest. Artemis opened tent. I walked in with Thalia, War and Love; Artemis followed us in. The inside of the tent looked much different than the outside.
There was a fire pit in the center, with a blazing fire; there was a bed in the far left corner. It was beautiful. In the corner of my eye I thought I saw a girl that looked like me in the corner looking at me.
I turned to look and sure enough there was. The girl was me, but not me. She had long blond hair; her bangs were covering her right eye. Her eyes were silver and her skin was tropical tan. She had a white dress, no shoes. She also had a sliver headband across her forehead.
She smiled at me.
"Marie was it."
I turned to at Artemis as she sat down, by the fire.
"Y-yes ma'am." I said.
I looked to look at me, but she was gone. I looked back shaking my head and joined Love, close to the fire.
"Alright, why don't you tell me how you met Marie from the beginning?" Artemis said.
"Well that was fun." War said as we walked out of Artemis tent.
"Yeah." Love said.
"Come on I'll show you to your tents." Thalia said.
As we walked, I spotted a crowd gathered in a circle.
"What's going on over there?" I asked stopping.
Thalia, War and Love stopped too. One huntress from the group ran past us and towards Artemis' tent. We walked down there, we pushed our way past the crowd and I saw me again.
"Hey Marie she looked like you!" Love said.
"Minis the black cloths and pink hair, anyway." War said.
Me smiled at me and Artemis soon arrived with the huntress that got her.
"Arianna? B-but you died." Artemis said shocked.
"She doesn't look dead." I said.
Arianna walked up to me and held her hand up in a closed fist. I put my hand out and she dropped two rings into my hand. The rings were dark blue and had names engraved on them. Magic and Star. I looked back at her to see she was gone.
"Marie come with me please." Artemis said.
The huntress begun to whisper as Artemis lead me to her tent.
