"What he doing here!" Someone shout my eyes shooting open and spinning round to find Pheobe pointing her slipper at me
I couldnt help but chuckle at her on how stupid this all seemed but back up instantly as she tried yo hit it on my nose
"Perv!"
"How can I be? I was asleep!" I manage backing up into the corner,
'Artemis hel-" I manage before my chest thumped hard almost my ribcage knocking the wind out of me
Pheobe was confused as i lay on the ground infront of her clutching my stomach
Artemis suddenly popped up
"What's going on her-" she began before she sat beside me, i wince but stop as we met eye to eye. Hers seemed so knowing...so angry.
"You lied. You lied didn't you!" She asks calmly as i look down ashamed
However I didn't technically lie I did smell Nico but me aswell
Does that count?
"Did you?" She repeated as i frown although nodding not making eyes contact
She shoke her head glaring at me with irritate eyes
I felt as though id been caught opening my Christmas presents early
Dead meat
"Im- im sorry Arty, i couldn't, how could i?" I choke before she shushed me quickly checking my temperature, frowning she looks up to Pheobe
"Beds out back, get one." She orders as i tilt my head concerned
"What? W-why?" I try and I attempt to stand up but she ordered me down, Cathy poked her head over Artemiss shoulder and I smile saying in some way I was alright
I was
Im fine
Just the floo
I cough dryly my throat aching
"At..emis Im f-fine, im just ill." I manage but she sat me down
"To right your ill, now stay still," She commanded a hint of anger in her tone, she grabs my hands leaving my gloves on which were ripping from my hand increasing outwards small bundles of fur poking out scanning them with wonder
"Did you transform yesterday?" She asks as i frown
"Im not sure," I mumble as she kept her glare
"Other wolf, nice, wanting help." I found my voice saying the entire dictionary leaving my vocabulary
Artemis waited as though ready for me to continue but was concerned when I did not
"What?" She asks as i move my mouth no words coming out, it went weirdly as though I'd forgotten how to move my jaw, my leg kicked experimentaly
"You okay?" She asks as i manage to shake my head, Pheobe finally came back with a fold up bed Keny helping her load it inside, trying to stand but my feet buckled causeing me to fall again, huffing I glance to Artemis silently complaining
Im fine
Really
My eyes stinging, i rub them with what was left of my hands as Artemis heaved me up, my legs felt like jelly ready to fall at any given moment they got
Jorden and Cathy help noticing Artemis was struggling with all my weight,
Makes me wonder how woman walk on high heals
Heh
When we finally got to the end of the cabin to the bed I sat watching them and Annie came over touching my legs trying to heal them but they stayed tingling as i manage to collect my word's
"G-guys I..rjwnf fin, i mmmwwussst have sweept fwunny wor sometin." {Guys I'm fine,, I must have slept funny or something} I usher but Artemis ignored me.
Pheobe rose an eyebrow
"What is wrong with you?" She questions as i roll my eyes grumbling
Nothing wrong with me
just me
I huff folding my arms
"I don't know, he doesn't have a high temp-" Artemis began until Cathy rushed in
"Can he still write?" She asks as Artemis shrugs letting her hand it to me, i try grabbing the pen but my hands wouldn't grip on it dropping it instantly
I growl as she put the pad beside me and retrieved the pen
Putting it in my mouth she held the pad up as i began to write what I thought was english
Just coming in random squiggles, i groan accidentally dropping the pen, Cathy turned it over frowning,
"Why would you ask if i can still write?" I ask as she smirks
"So we still have dinner, Duh!" She giggles making me smile
Thaila had a worried look on her face, her skin white as a sheet and fingers fiddling nervously with her bottom button jacket
I tilt my head as I saw small tears rim her eyes.
She came up to me wrapping her arms around me
Wait a minute
Freezing I look at her confused but accepting to hug back, finally over the shock I move my mouth to form the words properly and tried again to talk
"What...whats wrong?" I ask as
She looked up her eyes now puffy.
She managed a smile.
"Its okay," she murmurs whipping her eyes, she was about to pull away but I held her, i shake my head
"What?"
"Whats wrong?" I repeat more forcefully now, when i didn't get a reply I frown but pat her head, she smirked then let go, they all soon left Artemis ordering me to stay and not get into trouble
Yea like I could
I can't even use my legs!
Grumbling I lay down staring up at the ceiling
What am I to do
Where's Quana?
Did she?
No, no no no she didn't
She couldn't
Possession?
That's the only think I can think of,
Wait she ate all that?!
I gulp blaming her She must have done this
Who else could?!
After a couple hours Artemis and the rest of the hunt returned, I was bored out of my mind taping the edge of the bed
"Heya Tyron how are you?" Jordan asks hopping over as i nod forcing myself to sit up noticing almost all the hunt was here, some sitting on their beds talking to friends, others rummaging through their draws and resting
Artemis came over to me with Thaila who held a potion like bottle
When they came I tilt my head concerned
I felt as though they were hiding something bad.
Something bad must have happened without me knowing
"Here drink this." Thaila ordered handing me the green liquid, it was quite fascinating the lights rays sparkling through the speckled pieces
"What is it?" I ask glaring at them both
Artemis smiled
"It should fix your legs, but if you dont want it then-" she began until I snatch it away gulping it down as though for dear life, when it entered my mouth my tongue immediatly stung to the taste urging me to spit the rotten liquid out
Although I force a mouth full down beforw handing it back to her.
Artemis looked down as though dreading something but gazes up at me
Look Tyron, she announced through mind message as she rubbed the back of her neck
Um I dont know how to say this but, you've got to tell the truth
I cock my head confused
She sighed
Its time to tell the Gods, they need to know
You being y'know
I narrow my eyes looking at her in discust
She promised
And now she wants me to blurt it out?!
TYPICAL!
No
I shake my head looking away, she stomped her foot.
I glare at her.
Honestly I expected better from these two
They're the ones I trust.
The ones I trusted.
Biting my lip I let my mind wander
Why did she call me Tyron? She never calls me that whenever we mind message,
Something's fishy
Is she trying to make me confess?
I glance to her ears as though looking for some ear piece, then around her or me for an iris message but found nothing, sighing.
Artemis i can't, you know this i grumble but Thaila made a face
please, i can't watch you go again she pleas as i rose an eyebrow
Since when am I going? You guys trying to get rid of me or something?
No of course not, its just that,..........
What? I urge
I think this is your punishment Tyron she mumbled not looking to me
I just gape at her
For what?!
Lieing
...but-
You can't lie out of a Propehsy!, if the fates want something they get it! Artemis growled as I look away from her huffing
Yeah well they're not the boss of me! Maybe you, not me! This is my life and I do as i please, not which some old lady's planned
I snarl making her glare at me in anger
I'd be to if I'd just insulted them in a femigods face
Even worst A GODDESS
Take that back!
You know what?
No
I won't
They deserve it, planning futures for those who wish to be left alone
Oh so you don't like us!? Is that it!?
Listen here lady!, i never wanted to be here, i never signed up, did I?
You never asked me what I wanted! I growl my feet twitching eager to move to the wooden stained floor below
So what is it you do called want!? She sneered
TO BE LEFT ALONE BY YOU PEEKING AT ME ALL THE TIME
She cracked her knuckles taking a step forward as though to hit my head in but grabbed my left ear with the bullet rim pulling me forward
"I let you into this hunt out the goodness of my heart, don't pity yourself and put up with it, cause your not leaving until we get Percy," She sneered as i go wide eyes, i pull my head back but she held tight putting me into a head lock
"Come on Percy I know your in there." She murmured as she ruffled my head as I began to squirm
"Artimes get off your chocking me," I manage as she laughed a uneasingly, i smirk as i felt my legs adapt to movement before I stood up lifting her legs from the ground bridal style, i chuckle at her as she glared at me with hate
"Percy ain't home." I murmur as she began to hit my head pushing at my shoulders as i carrying her out of the cabin, the entire hunt glanced in confusion, when we got outside Artemis was literally burning, her face bright red with embarrassment and she covered her face as much she could with her hands.
Even Pheobe gave a smile Thaila who hurried after me, Zane came over to, a wild smirk on his face with Malcom
"Why ya doin?" He asks whilst looking up at me as he managed to stay beside me, i smirk glancing to Artemis who had her head within the depths of her jacket trying to hide from the looks
I chuckle only for Artemis to slap me
I still smile pulling the jacket down to see her red face
"Dont worry, I'll keep you safe-
"Drop me right now!-" she screamed kicking her legs, i laugh and smile at her
"If you wish, M'Lady." I mumble dropping her straight into the soaked mud below, she glare daggers at me as do I
Don't ever, ever ask me that again
I growl through mind message causing her to wince but keep her stare
I tilt my head to Zane who was holding in laughter covering his mouth rigidly a freshly cut trim along his hair
"What do you want?" I ask as Artemis jumps to her feet and he shrugs
"Just came, what ya doin anyway?" He asks as i heard Artemis huff and storm away, to be honest I felt quite quilty now, shes done so much for me, a home, a new life and this is how I repay her?!
Frowning I figured I better get all this muck from my brain and relax,
"Just a bit of fun, although I think j pushed it." I murmur as he nods
"Kinda, but you know Artemis, a tricks always up her sleeve." He chuckles as i smile
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"
"It can be, if she's truly your friend she'd understand." He replied as i flash to the memory of Cathy.
The way I'd scared her and how easily she forgave me.
Heh. How fast Pheobe stood forward to help or in my case have a knife to the head
Malcom yelled over something about a chariot race to practice for and hurried off without a goodbye
Just seeing his small body run off reminded me of how many fleed on the 1st and 2nd War.
How many I watched die in from of me and felt no remorse for their loss
How many I can't remember their names or families or friends.
Shaking my head I walk off not knowing exactly what I wanted to do or see, i knew everyone around here and what was to be expected,
Example?
The Stoll brothers, they can lurk any corner and still trick you by they're tone and wits.
Or Clarrise she could jump out and shove you upside down into a ditch and you'd be in to much shocked to even notice.
Sniffing the air I glance around noticing I had wondered deep into the forest close to the Camps Store, i could smell their snacks from here
Fudge bars
Strawberry flakes
Caramel twists
Even thinking of them makes me wanna drool, although I ignore the urge drawn closer to the forests surrounding as though my home, it was quite nice, the soft breeze dodging behind trees and through my tangled brown strands of hair drifting through, tugging at my black cloak I glance around sniffing until something bounced from the trees.
