Chapter 3: Beginning of the Hunt

Thalia’s P.O.V.

            It had been 3 days since Lady Artemis left us. I had to take charge, I needed to do something. I had never seen Lady Artemis as freaked as she was before. I almost wished that Apollo never came to check on us. If he didn’t, Lady Artemis would be here and we would know what was going on.

-3 Days Ago-

            We were giving our white wolves a bath. They usually were clean, but the monster we were chasing went through a swamp, and the canines now smelled horribly like rotting fish. Lily, a new recruit, wrinkled her nose in disgust. I motioned for her to come to the front with me and she clung to my jacket. She was mortal; a beautiful girl who’d saved us in a Native American reservation. Her coal black hair, in a single braid down her back shone. Her coppery red skin glowed with energy. She was so cute. Suddenly Lady Artemis stopped. I was too focused on Lily and I bumped into her back. Lady Artemis put her finger to her lips and pointed at the small pond in front of us. A glowing figure was gliding to the shore. When it came on land, the light solidified into a teenage figure with flaming hair and a lyre: Apollo.
