Before:

"Hold your fire!" Lady Artemis commands. "It's our guardian!"

That just makes me want to shoot him even more, but I can't ignore a command from Lady Artemis. I lower my bow.

Lady Artemis glares at the Guardian, though there's something about the way she looks at him which is strange. She then says, "Why don't you introduce yourself?"

The figure lowers his hood and, with a familiar crooked smirk, says, "Hello, I'm Perseus Jackson, your new Guardian."

Now:

Percy's P.O.V.

It was a happy reunion between me and Thalia which lasted a while because we were both catching up on what was going on in each other's lives.

She was really surprised when I told her about what Annabeth and the rest of the camp had done. However, she (to my surprise) believed me.

//Time Skip - One week later//

Why did I sign up for this? I guess I should blame myself for being an idiot. As always.

The thing is, when I agreed to become a guardian, I didn't realize that I was signing up to become a slave.

*Flashback Start - Past few days*

"Hurry up with the arrows, boy!" Phoebe yells, sneering at me.

I stiffen with annoyance, but I don't retaliate. After all, Lady Artemis told me to listen to her hunters and to follow directions.

I am currently sitting down, and in front of me is a pile of arrows. When I say a "pile", I mean several hundred dull arrows that I have to sharpen. How exciting.

*Flashback End*

//Time Skip - A few hours later//

I am now stuck with a mountain of laundry that needs cleaning. Seriously, I think. Do the Hunters wrestle with pigs or something? The laundry is so dirty that I can't even see the silver fabric underneath.

I sigh and take all the clothes (not including the undergarments) and carry them to the river.

I try tossing them in and using my powers to clean them, but they get tangled up so I sigh again and clean them one by one.

Time Skip - A few more hours later

It's lunchtime now. The hunters sit at the tables and wait for me to conjure their food.

"I want spaghetti and meatballs, boy." says Phoebe. I glance at the others and they all seem to want the same thing, so that's what I give them.

I then walk away from the hunters and lean on a tree trunk. For myself, I get pizza and blue coke.

//Another Time Skip//

I don't hate the hunters, but it sure seems like they hate me.

They prank me whenever they have the time to. This is my schedule:

Wake up in a horrible way (ex: getting shocked or waking up in the river)
