Chapter 17-Arty Disappears. She Forgot Her Boot. Moonshard Becomes My Friend.

Hola peepelz! Nothing to say, so, enjoy the story, fellow demigods!
Theron's Point Of View
I wake up to feel my body hurt.

Of course it does. I remember all that happened to me. Quite crazy, to be honest. After Artemis healed me, we all kinda just hung out by the campfire, and we all ended up telling some funny stories.

Artemis was sitting next to me the whole time, and I didn't mind it.

I don't know if I should even be saying this, but...

I liked it.

I enjoyed her company, the feeling of her sitting next to me, the way she was... The way she was simply there. Artemis is perhaps one of the only people I would let sit next to me anymore.

I look around. I got up much earlier than everyone else.

I try to sit up, but find it very, very difficult to even bend my waist.

Oh yeah, the bandages. I'm not even wearing a shirt, just the bandages and my sweatpants, which has a few blood marks on it. More like a lot, but whatever.

I roll over so that I'm on my stomach, get in a push up position, then lift myself up using my legs and arms.

When I'm finally standing, I walk to the corner of the tent, careful to tiptoe so that I don't wake the girls up. I grab a bow and a few arrows. Despite not being the greatest shot, I enjoy this archery stuff. I also feel like I can fit in, and that I have a new skill, and that if need be I could defend myself with a bow and arrow.

I stop at Artemis' tent. Should I wake her up, to practice with her? She could probably help me with my archery. But, then again, I also need to start practicing a bit by myself.

Eh, why not.

I go into her tent, but she isn't in there.

Maybe she's already in the woods.

I head in the woods, then remember that this isn't the same woods, since we moved camp.

I gag a little bit, almost vomiting, because I still have that feeling because I'm near camp. Then, when the gagging stops, I move on, circling around the woods. I check all around. She can't have gone too far. She wouldn't.

I look for about a whole hour and can't find her.

The cold weather is biting my scars. No snow has fallen upon the Earth, but I can tell that winter has. I keep walking, sure that I'll find Artemis.

But I don't.

I dash to camp. The branches scrape my scars, and pain shoots trough my body again and again, but I don't stop. I don't even slow down. If anything, I speed up.

I burst into the tent. Not one of the girls is awake yet.

Nevertheless, I shout at the top of my lungs.

"She's not here!"

Confused, groggy faces groan and look around.

"Wha?" Thalia mutters, still half asleep.

I walk right up to her and stick my face right up to hers.

"I said, she's not here!"

"Who?" Ashley asks.

"Artemis!" I holler.

Suddenly all the hunters bolt up. A collection of "What do you mean?"s and "Where is she then?"s go around. I shake my head vigorously. Too much is going on for my brain to function properly.
