The huntress of Artemis did not come to camp often, but when they did it was fun. The huntress was meant to come this afternoon which meant Chrion got everyone working overtime to make the camp 'presentable' for the hunt. Artemis herself wouldn't be coming though, just Apollo to drop them off.

All of the campers were walking around, making sure there was no rubbish on the floor or random arrows or knives or swords. They were not working very hard, just enough for Chiron not to yell at them, when the golden minivan landed on the great lawn. Everyone rushed to the side of the lawn, watching the door slide open and about 25 girls ranging from ages 11-17 walk out one by one. Thalia, Artemis' right hand girl stood in front of everyone else, being greeted by Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. Clarisse had met the huntress several times so she knew who they were and wasn't super excited but then she saw a huntress she'd never seen before. She had long brown hair that was pulled to one side in a braid, with a few moon rings hooked onto the strands. She was wearing silver/grey jeans, a white shirt and a silver jacket. She was wearing a bow and arrow necklace, and silver earrings. She looked around 15-16, Clarisses age, but gods know how long she had been that age. She caught me staring at her, making her blush and look away quickly.

The Huntress gathered outside cabin 8 then went off to archery. I couldn't help but think about the huntress. No one else had stayed in her mind that easily. She was sitting at the campfire sharpening her spear head when Annabeth walked past with Thalia.

'Hey, Clarisse. Don't you have an activity now?' Annabeth asked, sitting down on the bench opposite Clarisse with her old friend.

'Yeah, but I got distracted.' Clarisse muttered. When she looked up Thalia was almost glaring at her. 'What lighting girl?'

'Does it have anything to do with you staring at the huntress Y/n? She asked me who you were after she caught you checking her out.' Thalia sounded disappointed.

'And what if I was? She's a huntress, I know you guys aren't allowed to have relationships so it doesn't matter. I won't make a move on her or make her any less of a 'maiden' for your precious Artemis.' Clarisse said. Annabeth and Thalia shared a look then began giggling. 'What's so funny you two?'

'The hunt only swears at men.' Annabeth explained.

"We're allowed relationships with women, as long as there are no men it's okay. It's a common misconception about the hunt. Lucky for you I know for a fact Y/n was checking you out too.' Thalia kept going. Clarisse's face dropped as she realised what was happening. 'She's outside cabin 8 if you'd like to talk to her.'Clarisse practically ran over to cabin 8.

Six of the huntresses were talking about the camp when one of them turned to Y/n and said.

'Did you see the girl checking you out?'

'Yes! She was so hot, but like everyone thinks we can't date anyone so I doubt she'll come over-' Y/n turned around just as she was finished as the other huntresses were giggling and pointing behind her. The rugby player looking girl was almost stutting towards the group. She had tanned skin, dark brown hair put back with a red bandanna and was a little taller than Y/n. The other huntresses started shaking Y/ns shoulder saying things like.

'Maybe she doesn't think that.'

'She's coming over to talk to you.'

'You're gonna get a girlfriend!'

Clarisse gets to the group of immortal girls then they feel silent. All waiting to see what Clarisse was going to say.

'Hey, Y/n is it?' She asked, looking down at the huntress, who was brushing like crazy.

'Yeah, and you are?' She asked, trying not to stumble over her words. The huntresses barely had any communication with anyone that wasn't in the hunt so when someone outside the hunt tried talking to them, they got very nervous.

'Clarisse, daughter of Ares. Don't think I've seen you with the hunt before.'

'I just joined a few months ago so that'd be why.'

'Well, you've never seen camp properly then?' Y/n shook her head as her fellow huntresses were quietly squeaking and shaking her shoulder. 'Would I be able to interest you in a private tour then?' Clarisse offered her hand to Y/n. She blushed even more and took it. As Clarisse and Y/n walked away they could hear the other huntresses giggling and squealing. 

A/N; Before I get a bunch of angry PJO nerds in the comments, The huntresses of Artemis were forbid relationship with MEN! Artemis herself was a lesbian (not asexual and aromantic, just a lesbian, attracted to women both romantically and sexually) and she even had a relationship with Callisto! The only reason she is perceived as aro/ace is because men didn't like that 2 women could have "pleasure" without a man being involved. Rick changed this in PJO but I like the mythology accurate sapphic hunt instead.
