A\N: Nobody2012 helped me with this chapter. It was her (you are a girl, right?) idea to interview Phobe. Most of the questions are hers, too.
While building Argo 2, Leo decides to buy a new video - camera, and film everything that's going on. Including interviews with campers, Jasper, Percabeth and more (: I suck at summaries. Placed between TLO and SoN. T because I want.
Disclaimer: I if were Rick Riordan, I wouldn't be writing this. I'd be working on "The Mark of Athena". So apparently, I'm NOT Rick Riordan, who owns all the characters.
Chapter sixteen: The Second-In-Command Hunter
An Interview With: Phoebe, a hunter of Artemis
"Hello there," Leo sat down on the top of the hill, next to Pheobe, one of the hunters of Artemis. It was about eight in the evening, and a sing-along had just started.
Phoebe looked at him in disgust. "What do you want?"
"What about hello?" Leo asked.
Phoebe rolled her eyes. "Boys," she muttered, "Hello. What do you want?"
"How to put it? I want to interview you," Leo said.
"Why would I agree to that?" Phoebe asked.
"Because I'm awesome!"
"Yeah, sure," Phoebe sighed. "Don't you have a warship to build?"
"I do have," Leo said. "I decided I would take a break of ten minutes. I've been working on it since the morning."
"Oh."
"Yup. Can I interview you? Pretty pretty please with a cherry on the top!" Leo begged.
Phoebe looked at him, then at Thalia's tree, and then sighed. "You will go away if I say yes?"
"Yes!"
"Then yes," Phoebe rolled her eyes. "Do it fast."
"One zero to Leo." Leo said. He took the camera out of his tool belt, turned it on and said, "Phoebe just agreed to let me interview her. Leo is the king."
"I'm starting to regret it," Phoebe warned.
"No! First question, how long have you been a hunter?" (Thank you, Nobody2012, for the question!)
Phoebe thought about it for a minute. "Hmm, I kinda lost track. I think it might be one hundred and fifty year, but I'm really not sure."
"Wow. You are really old," Leo was impressed. "You know you look fourteen."
"I know. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Not at all," Leo squeezed. "Next one, I heard you were friends with Zoe Nightshade. What was she like?" (Thank you, Nobody2012, for the question!)
Phoebe sighed. "She was really nice. She was welcoming, and never turned anyone down. We all took it hard when she was killed three years ago, but Thalia is great, too."
"Annabeth said that Zoe wasn't really nice to her," Leo said.
"Well, Zoe didn't like boys since Hercules, and she was sure we can survive and win anything without them. She knew Annabeth likes Percy, whom at the beginning she thought was stupid and annoying, and she wanted her to change her mind and join the Hunt," Phoebe said.
"She thought Percy was annoying?" Leo wanted Phoebe to be clear. "She changed her mind?"
"Eventually, yes. He actually proved himself several times," Phoebe said.
"Yeah, you're right," Leo admitted. "You know, I was wondering, what are you? Demigod, human, what?"
"Well, I'm a demigod. A daughter of Apollo, actually," Phoebe said. "Finny. I was wondering the same thing about you. What are you, half elf and half demigod?"
"Hurtful!" Leo said. "You know, I asked campers about you."
"Really? Why?" Phoebe looked really surprised.
"Because I wanted to know things about you so I could ask you questions about them. Duh. I figured the Stolls hate you. Why is that?" Leo said.
"I hate them." Phoebe said.
"I know," Leo rolled his eyes. "Why?"
"Because they're stupid. And boys." Phoebe said.
"Okaaay," Leo said. "Can I –"
"Can I go now? I'm bored to death here." Phoebe said and stood up.
"Yeah, sure." Leo said. He watched as Phoebe went down the hill to join her fellow hunters. He sat there, quietly. He was jealous. He saw how Thalia and that hunter, Tiffany, hugged Phoebe when she joined their conversation.
Drew's voice rang in his ears, you would be a disaster. I bet you never fell in love with someone.
Maybe she is right, Leo thought. Maybe I can't be loved, and I never will be. Maybe everybody acts like they care about me because they want to use my fire power and my engineering capabilities.
But before he could think about that deeper, someone called his name and Katie ran toward him. "Leo!" she called.
"Yes, my lady?" Leo put on his I-don't-care-about-anything expression.
"Don't call me that," Katie said. "Chiron calls you. Annabeth and Grover contacted Percy. He's alive. There's a meeting in the Big House."
A short one, I know but I'm having a writer block.
What do you think? Leave a review!
So, guess what I did last night?
I... watched The Hunger Games! This movie is the best movie EVER! Everything was just like I expected, but in the Arena everything went too fast. I'm not going to put here spoilers, but at one scene my uncle's girlfriend, Tiffany, said: 'Why isn't she throwing things on them?'
Me: 'What do you want her to throw, acorns?'
(This scene was in the book, too, so it isn't a spoiler. It was on the scene after the fire when Katniss is on the tree and the Carrers are underneath it.)
I was literally shacking for the first half of the movie. I was so excited! I couldn't think about anything else for 10 hours after it was over. I was in some kind of shock.
So, I'm having this new story and everything.. It calls 'The Last Week' and you are more then invited to read it and review it.
Why? Because you're AWESOME!
Answers part! You passed 300 reviews! SO FREAKING AWESOME!
TeamPiper: Lucky you. Thank you for reviewing!
HiddenXinXShadows: You might be surprised, but I said that once because someone had guessed it (: Thank you for reviewing!
Experimental Agent 1123: The odds were in my favor, because Gary Ross is an amazing director and the movie was great. Thank you for reviewing!
Hugs6: Huzzah to you too? Thanks for reviewing!
Lexie . Daughter . of . Poseidon . 13: I know, right? I wanna get it for my birthday, which in EXACTLY THREE MONTHS! GET IT, EVERYONE? I WILL TURN 14 IN JUNE 26TH! Where were we? :P Right, the movie. It caused my uncle's girlfriend to want to read the books. One of the good things about the movie is that there wasn't too much blood.
So until next time... BYE!
And may be odds be ever in your favor if you're planning on watching the movie without being in shock for 10 hours.
Love, Rachel.
P.S. Don't forget to read and review to 'The Last Week'!
