New Life-New Beginning (Fem Percy Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

She got up suddenly and went into her cabin before coming back with a frame in her hands and when she gave it to me I saw that it was the last of Artemis' arrows that she said she'd lost that night four years ago, and I took it and looked at it shining as if it weren't four years old "this is the last thing I have of Lyn and my mother to remember them, and that memory is all I have of a reminder of what and who I was, and when I have free time I go about saving demigods and people from evil and I am still looking for Lyn's pack, but I searched the world twice and couldn't find them, not even in hidden caves, underground, in dark and deep forests, or the skies, and I gave up after a half year searching" and then she quickly put it back and joined me on the stairs again. 

I looked at her for the first time and I saw that she had golden lines surrounding her pupil like Kronos and it was unsettling, and they even swirled like the sands of time, her eye was sea-green with a silver circle in the middle of her eye matching the silver on the outside of her pupil and every so often I saw streaks of red like a werewolves eyes, and I realized how much she looked like milady and I was going to bring it up tonight after capture the flag. 

"Hey do you want to go to the archery area with me and see who's better" I heard her say suddenly snapping me out of my thought about what to tell Artemis about this discovery

"Sure" I said and we headed for the archery area near the training arena. 

Percy's POV

I was surprised that she actually dared to come into my territory but that emotion and anger went away as we bonded and told each-other about our hard lives and promises of revenge. I realized that she smelled exactly like the tree bordering our camp and I made the connection of my quest getting the fleece, reviving her, and not being there to see her run off to find the hunters and apparently join them. 

"My name's Percy" I said after a while when we started to get close 

"Mine's Thalia" she said putting out her hand and I took it as a peace and friendship connection and I knew then that I would join her and Artemis as soon as I ripped apart the hounds that ruined my life. I noticed her staring at my eyes and the way I walked and held myself, as well as the bracelets on my wrists and the muscles of my body that I didn't bother to hide now that everyone in camp saw and knew what I now was. 

"What do you want me to put my glamour on again" I said not wanting to cause her any un-comfort as my fake image shimmered to view over my real body, and I had to adjust to the new build and it was uncomfortable to walk as this form. 

"No, no I'm just thinking how beautiful your nature suits you (NOT A PERTHALIA THING) and I never realized how beautiful it makes you" I was surprised when she said this and I let the glamour fall and I walked with her in my normal form which was always slightly bent, I was seemingly walking on my toes all the time which made it easier for me to move and my cat-like build allowed that also, I walked straight and proud as a lioness in her pride, but I could get into a heavier, perfect defensive stance in a second if I needed to and I've found out that my raven-black hair which was now almost at the small of my back was naturally lined with silver, gold, and red from my blessings making up the person and thing I was now. 

"Thank you, you have no idea how much it hurts to have to adjust to that strange way of walking and strange posture that I have no idea how the Hell it is comfortable for you" I said and she looked at me like I was crazy and she twirled as she walked. 

"You mean you don't like this" she said as she twirled and walked and we both laughed until there was a thunk by our feet and my hand immediately went to hit the center of my chest under my collarbone and above my breasts where the shell was embedded into my skin, and armor appeared as I pulled my silver band along my arm and it transformed into a drawn bow with an arrow in-between my fingers attached to the string in the second it took for my armor to cover my body, which was in the blink of an eye. I saw a shoulder sticking out from a post in an archery lane and a foot also and I spread my fingers letting a second arrow appear and then I let go letting both soar three hundred meters in-front of us right into the foot and shoulder with a force that made the person hit the other lane separator and fall to the ground. I had a flashback of Luke falling to the floor after stabbing his armpit where his Styx curse was and killing himself and Kronos for the war. No one believed me after that and they stuck to their idea of him being a traitor till the end, and that only made me madder. I used my speed and had the person by the collar and I saw that she was unconscious from the pain, so I just let her lay there and waited for Thalia. 

"I guess that I have anger problems too" I scoffed and we both did our archery pretending not to notice as the girl limped off the the infirmary to take care of her wounds.
