Chapter Four

Many years ago, a young boy named Percy Jackson found out that he was the son of Poseidon and was destined to save the world. After he did this, he marries his girlfriend, Annabeth, a daughter or Athena and a talented architect. They lived in a small, beautiful cottage by the sea. Annabeth designed her architecture from there, and Percy worked as a trainer of young heroes. One day, Annabeth became pregnant. Nine months later, she gave birth to their daughter, Alexandra, in the city of Los Angeles.

Alexandra grew to be a bright and inquisitive young girl. Annabeth read to her every night, and then taught her how to read when she was old enough. For her seventh birthday, Percy bought her a horse. She named it Bridget. She took swim lessons, and was also a fantastic artist. Often, she would hang out in their huge library and draw pictures of the sea.

It was going fantastically for Percy, Annabeth, and Alexandra, until one day, Zeus and Poseidon had a big fight. There was a demigod, and they both claimed it to be theirs. Eventually, Zeus got so mad that he struck Percy and Annabeth's cottage with lightning. It caught fire, and burned to the ground. Both Percy and Annabeth died. Athena was, of course, very mad. Zeus had killed her beloved daughter and orphaned her granddaughter.

Percy and Annabeth were sent to Elysium, but they did not enjoy it. They were overcome with grief, even though they were the ones who had died.

"You have two options," they were told. "You can stay here, in Elysium, or you can be reborn."

"Can we wait for our daughter," asked Annabeth, "And then be reborn?"

"I guess that's ok."

So Percy and Annabeth waited. They waited fifty, a hundred, a hundred and twenty years. Finally Annabeth said:

"We're going to have to face the facts, Percy. Alexandra did not make it to Elysium."

Of course, this was not true at all. Alexandra had run away and changed her name to Sally Angeles, after her mother and birthplace. She was planning to go to Camp Half-Blood when she was stopped by a group of girls that looked very, very good for their age. They called her by her made-up last name, Angeles, but she asked them to call her Angel.

Athena and Poseidon were so mad at Zeus that they went to war with him. The war eventually ended their humans' world, and the gods desperately tried to save it by breeding with the humans. It worked, but the world had been divided into 13 Districts and an evil Capitol. Nothing would ever be the same. Percy Jackson reborn eventually gave his life to save a child, and thus, made Elysium a second time. He realized all over again that he had lost his daughter forever, and was reborn again.

The sad story of Sally Angeles is only one of the many that the Huntresses told Katniss. Of course, Katniss only knew the story from Angel's point of view.

There is also a story that was not told to Katniss. Only one of the Huntresses knew it, because it was her own.

In the five years that Artemis left, Katia also disappeared off the face of the Earth, but only for nine months. You may realize that this is the approximate amount of time between the conception and the birth of a child. If you thought this, you are right. Katia did have a child. The child was an immortal, because Katia was immortal and the father was some minor god. Katia had given up he baby to a family who needed one. She hadn't seen him since.

Katia's child aged to about seventeen, and then stopped. When he realized that he was immortal, he decided to run away. On his way out, he had found a small, wooden box containing a vile of golden blood. It was the blood of the gods, but he didn't know that. He wore it on a string around his neck. Also in the box was a small note written in ancient Greek. He couldn't read it, so he threw it away.

He has gone by many names, but is yet to have a permanent one that we will refer to him as. On the Day that Prim was Reaped, he was moving out of the capitol and into somewhere on the outskirts of District four, where he would go by Gabriel.

These are the stories of Katia and Angeles. They both have ties to the that are much too complicated and painful for the age that they both appeared to be. But these are the experiences that make them Huntresses.

A Huntress must be old for their age.
