Artemis's Hunt

Chapter 8

its me. back from the dead

wow. I was gone a while. oops.

here you go:

Mist's pov

Extra powerful? Yeah right! If we were extra powerful, our mums wouldn't have abused us. We would have been able to do something. This entire "the gods are real, yippee skippee" thing is just so confusing. I feel like we jumped into it headfirst without even stopping to think about how it could effect us. And OF COURSE my dad never even showed his face once in my life. Maybe he is the coward mum said he was. Running away, months before I was born. Alex's dad at least stayed for her birth. Apollo. Makes sense. 'Um, Mist?' her voice snaps me out of my trance. Silver eyes bore into my own, filled with emotions I can't determine. 'what!" I snapped. "sorry. I'm just. . ." Artemis nods in understanding, then continues. "Do you still wish to join the hunt?" We nod. "then repeat after me; I pledge myself to the goddess Artemis . . ."

Being a hunter is amazing. I feel stronger, faster, more alert. I look over at Alexis, and a soft silver glow surrounds her. The blessing of Artemis. She looks so confident, her golden hair whipping in the wind, her laugh as clear and pure as crystal. I feel myself blushing as she looks over, blue eyes meeting aqua. I was so focused on her that I didn't notice Amelia coming towards me until she tapped me on the shoulder. Spinning around, I flip her over my shoulder with my knife pointed at her throat. My eyes go wide. Oh shit. We burst out laughing, and I collapse into giggles. "I am so sorry," I gasp between breaths, slipping my knife back into it's sheath. Once we'd recovered, I pulled her up, dragging her across the grass towards where Alexis, Kate, and Lucy were talking. I'd become very close to the girls. All the hunters have become the family I never had. But I am closest to Amelia. She cut her darkbrown hair, shaving off half except 4 braids on the side, a week after we joined. So did Alexis, but just shorter. It suits them. She is funny, talented, and has become my best friend. Other than Alex, but she's a bit more than, you know what, never mind. Its silly. Anyway, Amelia does have a bit of a sad past though.

Her twin brother Lucas is also a child of Athena. When Amelia was 15 her and her brother were fleeing to a safeguard camp from the monsters when they thought they were safe they found out their Father had come to get them. Not believing their cries saying they were safe here he dragged them away. As soon as they were from safety a monster attacked them, viscously killing her brother Lucas. Amelia killed the monster, and in her rage and grief killed her Father. The traitor left her to fight the monster. Ashamed of herself she fled roaming the state, killing many monsters. She became close friends with another demigod called Marissa, a daughter of Hephaestus she met on the streets. Then one fatal night a monster attacked, killing Amelia's friend. Amelia had given up on life, when the Hunt showed up, saving her. Amelia joined the hunt at 19 and has been crazily dedicated to Artemis and the Hunt ever since. Promising to kill every monster or man that gets in her way as she tries to avenge her brothers memory every day.

my one thought:

Dam.

sorry for the short chapter, hopefully they will get longer later but idk

btw my friend Moon_Watcher❤️ wrote the backstory for Amelia, all credit goes to her :)

also in this story Artemis is going to allow lesbian relationships as long as it doesnt get too sexual. 

do you think she would actually allow that? oh well meh.

cya!!
