A/N: This (heavily requested) chapter is dedicated to OxanaManoli (on Wattpad) for being so supportive on the previous chapter. Also- I am not a hunter, I am an unclaimed daughter of Athena, also I have never cut class so I have no idea what it's like.

Hi, I'm Rose (TYLER!?) Walker. For some reason, I don't like love- it sounds weird but I don't like boys, or girls. I felt like no one else understood me.

Until I met Thalia Grace.

It wasn't just our similar tastes, or sense of humor that brought us together. it was the fact that she "abducted me into a cult" as my parents put it.

Okay, before you go crazy, it's not like that. We're just an immortal group of teenage girls that go around the country killing monsters. They control everything I do, eat, wear or-

Okay, so maybe it's a cult.

But still, they accept me. At school, I'm teased for countless things, here, there are so many more important matters.

It all started that faithful day in English. We were reading the Oddessy, and, surprisingly, Thalia knew everything. She just sat there, chewing gum -even though it's banned. No teacher would ever challenge her, her dad is Zeus, or "some huge powerful guy you do NOT want to mess with".

She asked my to cut class, I assumed it was to do something like go to the movies, or shopping. The lecture on Circe was really boring, how she married her step son and what not.

I said sure, and as the bell rang- we bolted past the front desk, where the attendant was just snoozing off. Typical.

Instead of taking the 6 train to her dad's apartment, a group of girls and a graffiti covered van were awaiting our appearance. "Lady Artemis," Thalia said, Boeing down to a pre-teen girl, with auburn curls and a half moon headband (I honestly think it looks more like a duct taped boomerang, but sure...)

Artemis, why was that name so familiar?, responded, her deep grey eyes scanning me from head to toe. "Do you want to join the hunters, you certainly seem sturdy, and my lieutenant," she glanced at Thalia, "tells me you know your way around a bow."

That was true, five years of Archery lessons. "I do..." I muttered, then it hit me, I didn't know who these people were. I slowly backed up against the school, Pepper spray in hand. "Who the fudge are you?"

Artemis sharply turned to Thalia, who flinched and muttered something like schist. "Oh, so sorry, I'm an idiot. Rose, this is Artemis, goddess of the hunt. And yes, Greek mythology is real, don't give me that face."

I rapidly clenched my jaw, which was drooping open. In the process, I bit my tongue, hard. Artemis just sighed and with a flick of her finger, it was gone. "You know Greek Myths right?" Artemis asked.

While my newly healed mouth was still numb, Thalia answered for me. "She does, especially the Illiad and the Oddessy." Artemis looked as though she remembered those times, and was grieving for Iphygenia, daughter of Agamemnon and Clydemestra, sacrificed to her.

Another hunter, Jamie, piped up, "We're running low on hunters, please will you join?"

I slightly older one, Casie joined in "No boys," okay I was sold.

I straightened my t-shirt. "Lady Artemis, I'm in."

Valete, My Queens!
