With the hunt

Percy knew they were annoyed, Artemis was livid and Thalia kept muttering about how stupid he was walking into an enemy camp by himself without any of the others, he realised as they were entering the camp that his archery lessons were going to get a lot harder. Thalia was angrier than Artemis that he had gone and 'hunted' by himself, he could remember exactly what she shouted at him just as they were nearing the camp after a tense silence from when he had seen Thalia waiting for him roughly half way back to the camp, at first they had held a tense silence, then as they were nearing camp Thalia seemed to just explode, releasing all her anger at once, Percy was glad he was a god as he was pretty sure if he was mortal the lightning bolt Thalia shot at him would have killed him,

"Time and time again I have put my neck on the line, telling all the hunters and Artemis how you won't cause trouble, how you respect women and how you would go off doing crazy stunts like this!" Percy knew Thalia wasn't finished, but he realised he couldn't lie to Thalia, he maybe wouldn't tell her the whole truth but they were too close, closer than some siblings were, and Thalia would know if he was lying, "Artemis was beyond furious that you believed you could complete the hunt by yourself, she thinks you were trying to complete the mission solo so that she would look like a bad teacher and that the other Olympians would think you were a better hunter then her..."

Thalia clamped her hand over her mouth as she realised she had spoken aloud, her eyes flickered from the floor to Percy's face, "Please don't let Artemis find out you know that" Percy saw the pleading look Thalia was giving him "Fine, but only if you drop the whole me going solo subject, there was a very important reason I went out there alone and it has absolutely nothing to do with Artemis or the hunters" Thalia looked Percy in the eyes, seeing that he was telling the truth she agreed.

Now all Percy had to do was survive Artemis's anger.

- The Next Morning -

Percy awoke much like he usually did, without any sign of it to another being, he heard a lot of whispering from roughly the middle of the camp, he stretched out his godly senses and was surprised that he couldn't sense Artemis, which probably meant she had left the hunters for some reason, he felt a single presence alone in the target range, he guessed it was Thalia as she spent most of her time there, and the rest of the hunters were in the centre of camp, muttering and whispering to each other.

Percy decided it was in his best interest to listen in on the hunters conversation, if it was something unimportant or not concerning him then he would simply stop listening in, as he adjusted his senses so he could hear the hunters he realised he was lucky he had listening in, "Artemis was furious when she returned last night what happened?" he could tell it was Phoebe, since she seemed to hate men the most of all the hunters Percy made sure to memorise her voice, he thought he was being paranoid at first, he was glad now,

"the man went and decided he was a better hunter than Lady Artemis and so he went to the monster camp by himself, when we got there yesterday he made the most dangerous monsters disappear, he talked to the other monsters before Thalia fell and snapped a twig..." the hunters laughed lightly at this "... well an empousa shot at us and so we destroyed the rest of the weaker monsters as the boy walked back, Lady Artemis teleported us all to camp and Thalia went and met him on his way back, probably had a go at him as well"

The hunters laughed, "I think we should teach him a lesson." the hunters were silent for a moment, absorbing Phoebe's words, "what do you mean?" one of the newer hunters asked, Percy believed it was the daughter of Nike, Joanne, "well we could all aim for him during our archery practice, make sure he fails any tests Lady Artemis gives him and command all the animals in the forest to attack him, that will show him not to try making a fool of Artemis" the hunters slowly agreed to her plan.
