Percy Jackson: The Guardian

Chapter Three: I'm Alive?

Camp looked the same, nothing seeemed to change much. Except all the campers congregated by a large fire. There was a shroud, it was blue and had a golden trident on it. Wait... did they think I was dead?

I was wearing a cloak that covered my face, Artemis thought it would be for the best.

Annabeth stepped up to the crowd with my shroud in hand, her eyes were bloodshot, "Percy wasn't just a normal camper. He was the best of us... He defeated Kronos, led the seven into victory. His loyalty had no limit..." she started to cry, "If he could hear me now, I would tell him sorry. For not trusting him. For not believing in him."

Wow, they found out the truth. I wonder how they found out.

I started to feel bad for Annabeth, but then I remebered what she did.

"You think you are all forgiven!" I yelled.

Everyone turned there eyes to the hunters. I guess they just now noticed us.

"Lady Artemis." Chiron said, they all bowed.

"Who said that!" Jason said running out from out if the crowd.

I stepped forward, But I never removed my cloak, "Saying a few nice words about someone! That does not forgive you for your sins!" I said walking on to the stage.

They all stared at me in awe. Some of my old friends started to remember my voice.

"It can't be..." Annabeth muttered.

"That's right," I took of my cloak, "I'm back!" I said bitterly.

Some people tried to hug me but I pushed them off.

"What are you doing with the hunters?" Chiron asked.

"They provided me with a home, they gave me solace when you all casted me away! Was everything I have ever done for you all really that insignificant? You were my family! You were everything to me! And some dumbass speards stupid lies about me and you all decide to throw me away like trash!" I screamed at the crowd.

Annabeth broke down on her knees, "Percy... I never wanted to hurt you." She said crying.

"Then maybe you shouldn't have kissed his brother!" Thalia yelled.

"Thalia it's not like-"

"Shut it!" She shot a arrow and it skimmed past Annabeths neck.

Annabeth turned back to me, "Percy, please forgive me."

"Never." I growled, "I am now the Guardian of the hunt. Camp Half-Blood is no longer anything but memories. And the same is to you."

I marched off the stage. When I met back with the hunters, Artemis hugged me. My face flushed a deep red, "Lady Artemis?"

"Just call me Artemis." She said. Her hair flowed into my face, "You did the right thing."

If only Artemis wasn't a maiden goddess. She was beatiful, smart, and caring(When she isn't making me fo slave work.).

The hunters and I walked to our Cabin, While on the way. Most of us started to scheme about what we were going to do about capture the flag. Normaly I would be up all night planning this with Annabeth. But since that wasn't going to happen, planning with Artemis was just as great.

It was cute when Artemis got all focused. Her eyebrows knitted together and she bit the side of her lip. It took everything I had to stop myself from staring.

"Sound good?" She said aloud.

I had no idea what she said before that, so I just nodded my head in agreement. When I looked down on the planning map, I saw the words, 'BAIT' written under my name.

Oh gods, what did I just agree to.

(Short Chapter, I know... I was short on time today.)
