The Adventures of Thalia and Reyna: A Hunters of Artemis Tale

Chapter 11

Okay, I know I said I was going to try Thalia's point of view for a while but honestly, I tried writing this chapter from her POV and it wasn't what I wanted.  So we are back to Reyna with this chapter!  Don't worry, if you like Thalia's POV, this is not me giving that up, I am just going to do more of Thalia in another chapter.  =)
Thank you to those who have given me feedback on the questions I asked in the "Some Questions" chapter, it is greatly appreciated!  If you still want to give feedback there, I will always read it even when I keep posting chapters, so thank you again.  Have an awesome day and keep writing!

Reyna's POV

"Okay Reyna."  Sara handed Reyna some soup and a cup of hot chocolate.  "I don't think you're sick.  You just got really cold.  You can go outside, just make sure you come right back to a tent if you get too cold again.  You aren't used to such cold weather.  Don't give poor Thalia any more heart attacks, alright?"

"Thanks Doc, will do."  Reyna mock saluted her.  Sara rolled her eyes and left Thalia's tent. 

Reyna drank down her soup in a few gulps so she could go join Thalia.  Her hot chocolate warmed her hand.  

For a moment, she felt a stab of homesickness.  She remembered going to the garden of Bacchus in New Rome with her hot chocolate.  Her and Frank would always get free ones since they were preator.  Was Hazel doing well as preator now?  Should she have left the Romans after such horrible battles?  She placed her hot chocolate on Thalia's dresser, untouched, and put her winter gear back on.  

The chill breeze stung Reyna’s skin as she stepped outside, her bow and arrows slung across her shoulder.  Some of the hunters were gathered around a fire drinking their soup, but a good chunk of them were missing.  

"Lani!"  Reyna noticed her friend sitting on a small log by the fire.  "Where are the others?  Sara said the scouts found something?"  

Lani nodded.  "They found a good space to do the ritual!  We were just going to join them."  Lani turned to the others.  "Olive, Pup, Callie!  Hurry up!  We are going to miss it!"

Nalani put down her soup and got up from her log.  Olive jogged over to them.  There were two huntresses there she had never met.  The first girl seemed to have sped over to them in a blur, but then slid on the slippery snow right at Reyna's feet.  

"Oh my gods!  Are you alright?"  Reyna offered the girl her hand.  She had short, choppy ginger hair and her boots had tiny wing designs on them.  

"Yeah, thanks."  She took Reyna’s hand.  "Sorry about that."

"Callie!"  Lani scolded.  "How many times do I have to tell you not to use your speed in the snow?  You're going to hurt yourself!"

"Sorry mom."  Callie dusted the snow off her pants.  

"You can go really fast!"  Reyna said.  How in the God's name-" 

"Hermes is my dad."  Callie cut her off.  "God of messaging and traveling and all of that.  Sometimes his kids can get the rare gift of speed.  And I'm not too bad at stealing things either."  Callie smiled deviously.  

"But we don't do that, right Cal?"  Lani folded her arms.

"Of course not.  Have I ever done such a thing?  Never."  Callie fiddled with something in her pocket.  

A big, white wolf came up to Callie and stuck her nose into her pocket, pulling out a small necklace.  The wolf padded over to Olive, and placed it in her hand.
