THALIA TORCHES NEW ENGLAND AND WE MEET A PRETTY BOY WITH A STICK
Artemis assured us that dawn was coming, but you could've fooled me. It was colder and darker and snowier than ever. Up on the hill, Westover Hall's windows were completely lightless.
I wondered if the teachers had even noticed the di Angelos and Dr. Thorn were missing yet I didn't want to be around when they did.
With my luck, the only name Mrs. Gottschalk would remember was "Percy Jackson," and then I'd be the subject of a nationwide manhunt... again.
"Aren't you a wanted criminal?" Regulus snickered making Percy roll his eyes.
"I don't think so... am I?"
The Hunters broke camp as quickly as they'd set it up. I stood shivering in the snow (unlike the Hunters, who didn't seem to feel at all uncomfortable), and Artemis stared into the east like she was expecting something.
Bianca sat off to one side, talking with Nico. I could tell from his gloomy face that she was explaining her decision to join the Hunt. I couldn't help thinking how selfish it was of her, abandoning her brother like that.
Nico frowned listening to Percy's thoughts. Though the situation wasn't... ideal Nico firmly believed that Bianca was a good sister.. she did the best she could at least.
Thalia and Grover came up and huddled around me, anxious to hear what had happened in my audience with the goddess.
When I told them, Grover turned pale. "The last time the Hunters visited the camp, it didn't go well."
"How'd they even show up here?" I wondered. "I mean, they just appeared out of nowhere."
"And Bianca joined them," Thalia said, disgusted. "It's all Zoe's fault. That stuck-up, no good—"
"Who can blame her?" Grover said. "Eternity with Artemis?" He heaved a big sigh.
Grover blushed as Percy patted him on the back. "It's okay G-man if it makes you feel better we all have a crush on at least one god/goddess"
"Right." Regulus nodded. "For example, Percy's dad is so fine."
"Please stop this madness"
Thalia rolled her eyes. "You satyrs. You're all in love with Artemis. Don't you get that she'll never love you back?"
"But she's so... into nature," Grover swooned. "You're nuts," said Thalia. "Nuts and berries," Grover said dreamily.
"Yeah."
Finally, the sky began to lighten. Artemis muttered, "About time. He's so-o-o lazy during the winter."
