This morning, Grace set the alarm. I always hated when she set the alarm since it came with a cold water spray. Each time, 8:00 am straight, the sound of water flowing through the pipes, then, splash. Straight in my face.
"Wake up!" She called "Get your butt up, Venya!"
Grace was a daughter of Neptune, by the way. And the lieutenant.
"Next time, I'd rather Katherine set the alarm. At least she is gentle and shyer." I grumbled, trying to keep my voice down so that Katherine couldn't hear me. But Katherine had the ears of an owl. Since she is the daughter of Athena.
"HEY! Why in the poop of mom's sacred owl would you say that!" She said sternly.
We all laughed and even Katherine smiled.
"Come on, Kath. Let's go to breakfast." Said a soft voice. It was Shan. I jumped. She was like, too quiet. She don't even have an excuse of being the kid of Hades/Pluto. She was the daughter of Astraios. God of the stars. But I guess I wasn't exactly welcoming to her. We all looked at Grace.
"Fine. Go but save me 2 slices of bacon!" She yelled after them.
After they left, she turned her back to the door and sighed.
"Are you okay?" I ask immediately
"I'm fine. Except about the quest coming up."
"What quest?" I asked curiously
"Artemis's sacred deer is lost. And Orion stole it." She said bitterly.
"WHAT?!"
"No need to shout I know." She turned and looked at me with those dark eyes I always found unnerving. But this time, with a little hopeful glint in them.
" Uh oh. You are up to something." I said, a little unwilling smile tugged at the corner of my mouth.
" Hahaha. Very funny. I wanted to invite you on the quest. Only you can come. I do not like it. But it is the smartest option."
" Eem.... If we are fighting Orion, shouldn't we bring a larger number of hunters to fight him?"
" I don't want them to be slain. Orion is too strong. You can grab the harness and ride on the deer. Then I charge Orion. Simple."
" You mean simple to die. With all due respect, you are only one huntress. So how can you even-?" I gulped at her murderous look.
" Don't underestimate me. I am stronger than you think. I am the only huntress who can keep him in check. I'd-" Grace was interrupted by the unzipping sound of the main tent.
We whipped around, drawing our weapons. But it was only Katherine.
" Ummm," She said noticing our weapons. " Is it a bad time?
We sheathed our weapons.
" No. What's wrong?" I asked
Katherine looked at us uneasily. " Isabelle said that if you two don't hurry up, she's gonna eat the bacons."
So naturally, we ran after her.
A/N: Haha. I love bacon. Writing chapter 2 in a while.
