Hey guys! Just a Quick authors note, please don't expect updates on weekdays! I still have school to worry about n stuff!
Thalia Point of View
How dare she! Goddamn Artemis, makes me watch her camp for 3 years, then suddenly drops back in acting like nothing happened, tells me there are more Demigods like me and then sends me back to my tent? Once again, how dare she! Well I was done. I went into my tent, grabbed all my stuff, hunters are trained to hold onto as little possessions as possible, so I didn't have that much to pack. But once I was done, I walked right out of my tent and didn't stop walking until I was far away from the camp.
After a few hours of walking through dense forest, I stopped and took a look behind me. I couldn't see the camp, but I was secretly hoping that someone would come after me. Nobody did. Not that I was surprised. I started walking forwards again, not knowing where I was going, but happy as long as it was away from that stupid camp.
I looked up at the stars, looking for the big dipper and eventually Polaris, so I would know which way was north. For some reason I couldn't see any stars. Which was weird since the skies looked clear as day. Regardless, I kept on moving. I remember reading somewhere that monsters can smell demigods. I didn't want to stay in one spot because I wasn't really in the mood for a fight.
I had lots of time to think about what had happened. Why would Artemis keep all this hidden from me? Now that I think about it, I seem to remember someone close to me… Sea Green eyes… Flashes of him doing all types of things started popping into my mind… Him dancing with this blonde girl at a high school dance.. Annabeth, that was the girl's name… but what was his…. Was it Grover? No… Jason? No.. And then it suddenly became clear. Memories flooded into my head as if a dam had been broken, his name was Percy Jackson and he was my cousin.
Friendly Line Break.
Clair Point of View
It felt so wrong to spy on Lady Artemis and Mr. Hades but the way Thal's reacted to the both of them being together made me worried. Plus, the other girls wouldn't believe me if I told them I saw Lady Artemis. Thal's is the only one who doesn't make fun of me all the time. I was sitting on the outside of the tent, eager to hear whatever the two were saying. I thought Lady Artemis hated men? Why does she have one in her tent?
I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I saw a bright white light flash on the inside. Proceeded with a bunch of shouts and murmurs, that I still couldn't understand. I moved my ear closer to the tent. Until, oof! I made a hole in the tent and fell right in and onto the floor. I looked up to see three people staring at me, there was Lady Artemis, the male from earlier and then this other girl that I had never seen before. I have to ask Thal's about her later.
"Clair!" Artemis shouted, furious that I was eavesdropping, "Go back to your tent! Now!"
"S- sorry Lady Artemis," I tried to get up, bow and walk away at the same time. Which ended up making me fall to the ground all over again. I'm sure it made me look like an ever bigger idiot in front of everyone. I could already see the tears blocking my vision and trickling down my cheeks.
I was about to apologize again when I was cut off by the lady I didn't know. She same over to my and picked my up by the armpits so I was fully standing up in front of everyone, "Shhh, it's alright, Clair. No harm done!" I looked into her dark brown eyes and saw the eyes of a Hunter. Thal's had trained me to always tell. I felt more tears roll down my cheek as I had disappointed another sister. She waved her hand and the tent repaired itself in an instant, "See? Everything is okay!" I was speechless, looking down at the floor hoping that Lady Artemis would let me stay in the Hunt after this. Before I knew it, the lady had embraced me into a hug. I just stood there for a while while she muttered soft words to me, "Shhh, it's alright." This wasn't her first time comforting a child, and I knew that I was nothing better than a child. Meanwhile, Artemis and Mr. Hades were silent. Watching the two of us.
I wiped away my last tear and pulled away, "I'm sorry. I should go," I started heading towards the tent's exit until the girl interrupted me again.
"Why don't you stay?" She said, obviously making sure I knew it was a threat instead of a question. When I turned to look back, she she continued, "What was your name, Clair, right?" I nodded, "Well Clair. My name is Zoe. How would you like to be the new lieutenant of the Hunt?" Zoe.. I swear Thal's once told me about a old Hunter named Zoe…
"You have no right to appoint a new lieutenant, Zoe! Plus, Thalia is already my second in command," Lady Artemis said, I had heard her voice before, now that it was coming from a beautiful lady, I felt much more inspired.
Zoe laughed to herself for a moment, "I don't like Hades being here," Zoe swiped her hand and Mr. Hades disappeared leaving nothing behind, I muttered a quick "Whoa" because I had never seen anything like that happen.
Zoe looked at me and gave me a quick grin, "Well Artemis, Thalia left this camp 10 minutes ago. And guess what? She's remembering everything! Gosh, how will that make you look in her eyes?" I looked over at Lady Artemis and saw her clench her jaw. But I was pretty surprised, how could Thal's leave without telling me first? "So Artemis, You either give me your hunt and you might be able to get to Thalia in time before our friend Orion gets to her first. Or you could stay here with me and Clair, and your last hope for survival will die? What'll it be?" Zoe said with a smirk.
I didn't really understand what she meant. But with a silver flash, Lady Artemis, went running out of the tent and I could hear the gate open and she ran towards Thalia, I'm guessing. "What just happened?" I asked.
Zoe gave me a small smirk and walked over to me, She put her hand over my shoulder and said, "Well Clair, Artemis and Thalia aint gonna be running this hunt anymore. Now it's just me and you!"
'Uhh what" still not understanding a single word she said.
"Here, we'll go talk to a friend of mine! His name is Percy. You'll love him!"
