Chapter 3:
Percy POV:
On our way Artemis told me that I needed to act like a scared little girl who just got raped after her mother got killed. My story was that I was living with my mom and abusive step-father. He would come home every night drunk and rape my mom. If I ever tried to stop him he would hit me and threaten to kill my mom. One night he was really angry and came home. Dinner wasn't ready which made him even more upset and when I tried to help my mom he decided to kill her. Then he said, "I'm gonna send you where I sent your mommy but before I do that, how bout I put you to some use first." Then he started pulling my clothes off and that's when Artemis came in. She shot an arrow strait through his heart just as he was about to rape me.
Believable enough, right? I hope. I had changed into a hunters uniform and we where just arriving at camp.
"Thalia!" she yelled.
"Yes mi 'lady?"
"Call all the hunters here. I have a new huntress."
Thalia went off and called everyone as I hid behind Artemis acting frightened.
Soon all the hunters where there and I actually felt scared and wanted to be hiding behind Artemis. I guess that comes with being a girl.
"Attention, this is our new huntress Persephone." "It's Seph." I interrupted in a tiny voice. "Or Seph as she likes to be called," she continued. "She has had a very difficult time just now so be gentle."
"Yes mi 'lady!" They all chorused.
"Now you can go back to whatever you were doing." Everyone slowly walked away, most stopping to say hi and introduce themselves first.
"Thalia!" Artemis called. "Can you show Seph around the camp and help her with her tent?"
"Yes mi 'lady!" Thalia answered. "Hi Seph, I'm Thalia. I'm Artemis's lieutenant. Welcome to the hunters! Wanna tell me your story? I'll tell you mine."
I got up the courage to tell my "story." After I was close to crying and Thalia was hugging me and telling me that it was alright.
Then Thals told me her story even though I already knew it. When it got to the part about her becoming a tree I hugged her and said. "It's ok Miss Thalia!" Being the perfect little angle I am. It was weird that Thals was acting like a girl around me. I only really knew her hard tomboyish side, not her soft girly one.
When she finished her story we walked back to the campsite and Thalia helped me set up my tent. Then she decided that it would be a good idea to introduce me to some of the girls.
When she got around to introducing me to Phoebe I got really scared because I remembered that she was the biggest man-hater of the whole hunt. Then I remembered that I'm not a man anymore. Which made me feel a lot more at ease then I was earlier.
She also introduced me to some other girls like Reiss, Tessa, and Jordan. Reiss was my age and we became best friends immediately. Jordan and Tessa where 15 year old twins and became like my older sisters to me.
I can't believe how much I have changed and it hasn't even been a day yet. I'm starting to sound more girly too. I wonder if I'll ever be a guy again, or if anyone will claim me?
I guess I better be getting some sleep soon. I need to change. What do I sleep in? 'What are these?' I thought looking at a t-shirt and some pj bottoms. 'I guess I wear these?' I thought to myself. Then I changed into them and went to sleep.
