So, I know it's been forever since I updated. My excuse? Technically, I'm not supposed to have a fanfic account, according to my father. According to my mother, if I get one, she wants to read my stories. My mother gets freaked out when she sees girls hugging guys after school. So having her read my stories would not turn out good. That is why I update when my parents are not around. Which is barely. But guess what. I have two chapters written out on paper, so I just have to type this and possibly the other one up. Without further ado, I present to you...

Chapter 4

A blinding light filled the tent and the girls all covered their eyes.

"Apollo's here!" Phoebe announced the obvious fact. Thalia passed out sunglasses (the effective kinds) that were kept especially for when Apollo visited. Everyone grabbed their suitcases and marched outside.

Apollo was leaning against a shiny red truck with a trailer attached to the back. His face broke out into a smile as the girls walked towards him.

"Remember Apollo..." Artemis started.

"I know, I know!" Apollo interrupted. "No flirting. I get it!" He grinned at Thalia, who blushed furiously and turned away to hide it. Artemis stared coldly at Apollo. Apollo sighed. "Fine, I'm sorry. Jeez, where's your sense of fun? Anywho, two lucky girls get to sit in the truck with me!" Apollo looked pointedly at Alice and Heather. They loaded their suitcases in the back of the truck (A/N sorry if truck's don't have backs, but I honestly wouldn't know) and hopped into the front while the rest of the girls climbed into the trailer, followed by Artemis.

Apollo hopped into the driver's seat. When everyone was settled down, he began to drive.

"Did you see Thalia? She looked like a tomato!" Heather giggled.

"Apple!" Alice corrected. "But Lady Artemis was funnier. She looked like she was gonna explode!"

Apollo smiled proudly. "Yeah, that's my job. Annoying Lady Artemis, messing with Thalia's mind, and flirting with other girls. And being friends with you guys. Life sure is great!"

Heather laughed. "Well, just so you know..."

Apollo held his hand up. "I know what you're going to say. Is this something about you having a crush on my son?"

"No..." Heather answered, slightly embarrassed, mostly because Alice was looking at Heather with raised eyebrows.

"Oh, cuz I was totally OK with the idea of you dating him."

"Um Apollo, I'm a hunter. I can't date, remember?"

"Oh right. Then what is it?"

This time it was Alice who spoke. "We're volunteering for the hunger games. Both of us."

Apollo sighed. "I should have known. Honestly, I'm not that worried, except for the fact that Ares' bloodthirsty kids will be in there. And Hades' children, though I'm sure you'll have that under control, Heather?"

"Yeah. Gods, I'm so lucky Hades and his children get along with me. You should have seen Kitty when she visited the Underworld for the first time..." Heather shuddered.

"I can't even imagine what might have happened for Kitty to have come back like that!" Alice said. "The way she acted, it was really scary."

"Yeah, I know. Even I couldn't fix her! Well anyways, we're here!" Apollo announced.

Heather and Alice stepped out of the truck and looked out towards the cabins. Even with all the busy campers, something was different. Alice had the feeling that things would stay that way for a long time.

Well, that's it! I may update again soon. About the SYOT, I already have a daughter of Hades, a daughter of Hephaestus, and two daughters of Apollo that I have to choose between. Please send in boy tributes! Remember, no more daughters of Hades, Hephaestus, or Apollo. No hunters of Artemis and no son of Hades.
