Out of anyone they could have lost, nobody thought they would lose Shiloh. They all figured she would give in, and join the hunt. But no... She never did and she has paid the price.
Everyone was in tears when they heard the news, even Clarisse. Annabeth took the news the worst, out of everyone at Camp Half-Blood. She has screamed that they were lying to her though her tears and broke down entirely in Percy's arms. Percy, no longer being able hold back his own tears, cried with Annabeth wailing in his arms.
The news was delivered to the Hunters of Artemis by Apollo. They could tell that something was wrong since he was not flirting with them and had a grim look on his face. He went straight to his sisters tent first. The Hunters had gathered out of curiosity, trying to over hear what Apollo was telling their mistress. The single, heartbreaking cry that came of their mistress set them all off guard. Thalia peered into Artemis's tent and saw her crying in Apollo's arms. It didn't take her long to figure out what has happened, and soon she was in tears too. She had just lost her little sister/best friend.
Everyone demanded to know how it had happen. When they found out, it didn't help and only made things worst.
"She was on a mission with her team to catch a murderer. They caught the man, but his accomplish was still at large. The man named Ari shot her down from three miles away with a sniper rifle to the head."
Nico made his father promise that Ari would get the worst punishment possible, and that Shiloh was place in the best place in Hades. Hades happily agreed.
The funeral was a long one, filled with grief striking friends and family. Her teammates were allowed to show, being mortals they weren't suppose to know about the gods and goddess. The entire camp was there, along with the Gods and Goddess that liked Shiloh. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Athena, Hermes, Demeter, Hephaestus, Dionysus,and of course Artemis. The Hunters were there as well, having lost a honorary member of the hunt. The funeral ended with the burning of the shroud. It was a beautiful, silver one, with moons and deer on it. Athena cabin made it because Annabeth was related by blood to her, unlike anyone else.
Camp has not been the same since. Cabin Eight is empty now, with no one living in it, the archery range doesn't have a target completely covered in bulls-eyes anymore, and there was no more loud music coming from the training arena. Benny, Shiloh's dog, refuses to leave his masters grave. So everyone day and night, Annabeth or Percy would drive up to the graveyard and bring the dog something to eat.
That seemed to be the normal for a few months, Things were boring, and everyone was upset. That is until a certain auburn haired, teen appeared one day. Only Percy and Annabeth knew, but it wasn't their Shiloh. Their Shiloh was 21, not 16. Nevertheless, she received a bone crushing hug from Annabeth, who had refused to let her go for a minutes. That Shiloh had explained to them, after Annabeth finally let go, that she was fighting some creature when she had fallen down a cliff.
"I think my curse from Kronos is still in place or maybe it hasn't warn off yet. I don't know. What I do know is that I'm in the future... Thankfully it's not the past again."
She was able to tell something wasn't right with, to her, future Annabeth and Percy.
"What? What's wrong?"
Annabeth answered in barely a audible whisper," You are dead in this time, Shi."
Shiloh had heard it clearly. Sadly, she smiled, "Well then I'm going to fix that. I know who killed me. He was the one who sent the monster after me. He goes by Ari."
"How are you going to fix that? And why didn't you tell us about him!? We could have helped you!" Annabeth snapped, going all mother hen on her cousin.
"Truth be told, I never thought that he would win. I'm sorry Annabeth. I know I caused you a lot of pain, but I have a plan. Only, no one can know I'm here and I'm going to need your help."
"You never need to ask,Shiloh." Percy said.
"No could know. Not even the hunters. Especially Thalia. My plan goes like this..."
