I still could not figure out how I dodged an arrow that was heading straight at me.
But it's like evry time I need to react to something I feel this slight tingle and time seems to slow down for me as if to a crawl. Now if only I could control it that would be awsome. But like I said I could barley evade it.
So now I have to deal with a group of girls wanting to kill me.
„What did you do that for you stupid mean girl." I yelled at her. Bad idea.
Red faced she yelled back „You interupted a hunt and I couldn't just let that slide now move before you get punished some more."
Confused I yelled back with almost no mallice.
„What on earth are you talking about. I remember hearing that girls get weird when they become older but hunting for boyfriends with a bow and arrow is pretty stupid you know. You aren't Cupid so shooting them won't work it just makes you look weird."
After I gave that talk to them they looked so mad that I swear on everything holy that steam came out of their ears.
„You have just made a big mistake boy." She spat the word boy like it was an insult of the worst kind.
„We hunt monsters not boys, well not unless they hurt girl..." She didn't get any farther.
„What do you mean boys hurt girls thats not true only sissies hurt girls not boys."
I said confused no boy ever hits a girl It's one of the boy laws boys never hit girls only sissies so she must not know what they are talking about.
So it was strange when they gave snorts of both amusement and anger.
„What is your name boy?" the twelve year old asked.
„I am Percy Jackson and don't call me boy an adult I'm seven." I said proud because I had survived this long on my own.
„Well Percy I am Artemis goddess of the hunt moon and childbith and this is the hunt of Artemis" She answered with mirth in her words.
„So give me one good reason why I souldn't punish you for disrespecting my hunt, insulting me and for making us loose sight of the pack of wraths that were just here.
„Oh the wraths my dad killed them so they wouldn't hurt me." I said so calmly and casualy it was like I was comenting on the weather not slaying of monsters.
At that they all froze.
„And ah...who is your dad?" Artimis askedfully intent on finding it out.
It was now my time to freeze. What should I say they hate men and is a man so I guess.
„He didn't tell me he just gave a flask ambrosia and an mp3 and then he left."
It kindof was not a lie beacause I didn't know anything about him besides his name but that was my secret and no one gets to know.
At that her shoulders slumped and she became tense before she seemed to remeber something.
„Whait you said you were seven what are you doing in New York alone at this time of day shouldn't you be at school or something?" She asked suspiciously.
„I can't go to school because I don't have a mom anymore..." That was a another girl behind Artemis interupted.
„What let me guess she didn't give you enough candy so you ran away from home no wait she wanted you to clean your room no I got it she got a boyfriend you don't like so you left aren't you proud of yourself boy."
She said with such contempt that she seemed to be foaming from her mouth.
„No I couldn't save her from the hellhounds as killed her slowly I had watch helplessly while they chewed her to the core bones and everything so tell me why you haveto be so mean to me."
I was openly sobbing at that point and it was not until I felt the arms of someone around me holding me tight against them that I started to calm down and as her soothing voice helped me to sleep I for the second tome today fellt safe.
