ACT I - 0.3

❝ STRAIGHTEN UP,

LITTLE SOLDIER. ❞

Lucena knew dawn was coming soon, she could feel it in the air, and Artemis words only confirmed it, even though Percy looked a little skeptical. It was still dark out, even colder than before and she huddled closer to Percy for warmth who draped an arm around her shoulder to keep her close. Up on the hill, she could see the windows of Westover Hill were completely dark and she knew the school dance was over. She wondered if the teachers had even noticed the di Angelo kids and Dr Thorn were missing, but she somehow doubted it. With their luck, the only names she would remember were 'Lucena Accetta' and 'Percy Jackson' and they both would be the subjects of a nationwide manhunt- again. (Long story, not relevant.)

The Hunters broke camp as quickly as they had set it up and despite her thick jacket and Percy's warmth, Lucena still shivered from of the cold (unlike the Hunters, who didn't seem uncomfortable at all) and Artemis stared into the east as if she was expecting something. Bianca sat off to the side, speaking with Nico and Lucena could tell from his gloomy expression that Bianca was telling him about her decision to join the Hunters.

Thalia and Grover finally joined them, Thalia huddling into Lucena's other side while Grover did the same with Percy.

"You okay?" Lucena whispered low enough for only Thalia to hear.
