Knock-knock!
Shiloh rolled over in her bed. But the knocking continued. Throwing the pillow on her head she yelled, " Just come in Annabeth!"
"I'm not Annabeth." A quiet, shy voice answered through the door.
Grumbling, Shiloh forced herself out of her bed and went to the door. She opened it and was kinda taken back at the small girl standing on her cabin porch.
"Uhhhh... Can I help you?" Shiloh asked
Mumbling, the girl answered," I was told that is was where I have I stay. This is cabin 8 right?"
"Uh yea this is cabin 8. Come in, I guess." Shiloh led the girl in and showed her where she can out her book bag. Shiloh examined the girl as she looked around the cabin. She was small, maybe ten years old. Her long curly, brown hair reached her mid-back and she had stunning hazel eyes. She dressed like plainly. Simple
black tennis shoes, blue jeans and a green t-shirt. Shiloh on the other hand was a war-zone. Her hair was wild bed hair. She had nothing but a simple black tank-top with black and blue rubber ducky pajama pants.
"So...um... Why are you here? Not to be rude or anything, just curious."
"Your mother sent me here." The girl replied.
"My mother? Oh your a hunter. So hunter... What's your name and what's my mother been up to lately?" Shiloh wasn't very keen of her mother's hunters.
"One, I'm not a hunter. Two, I have no idea what your mother has been doing." The girl answered.
"Not a hunter huh? I like you already. So why are you here... Girl who's name I don't know."
The girl sat now a bed. " Sorry. My name is Alex Hawke. I was sent by your mother so you can teach my the ropes on how to survive in the woods... Or in the hunt."
Shiloh rolled her eyes.
" Of course she did. Well Alex, my name is-"
Alex cut her off," Shiloh Hunter. Your mother filled me in on everything I need to know."
"Riiiight. Of course she did. Since I'm suppose to train you, Tell me how you met my mother?"
"She and the hunter saved me from some hell hounds."
Shiloh nodded, understanding Alex's experience.
"One question. How do I know you are telling the truth?" Shiloh asked
Alex replied," your mother said to tell you,'hot sauce' don't ask me what it means."
Shiloh paled some, "Don't worry about it I know what is it means." Artemis was referring to the time where Shiloh poured the entire bottle of extremely hot hot sauce in the stew of the hunters.
The two sat there and chatted for a while. Going back and forth with questions for each other. Shiloh managed to get dress and teach Alex what she needed to know. That night Alex was going to leave and go to the hunters camp.
"Thanks for teaching me."
"No problem. You shoot better then Percy and managed to shot a Aphrodite camper in the knee. That was worth it."
With that the two departed.
Walking through the woods, Alex looked back at Camp Half-Blood.
"Lady Artemis was right about you Shiloh. You really are one of a kind. Too bad, I have to kill you."
Alex disappeared into the night.
