Artemis' POV

I woke up to a great pain in my chest and the first thing I thought was 'one of my girls are in pain', but I looked around and I saw all of the girls in their beds sleeping, the pain came again and then there was a loud screech coming from the outside and everyone shot up and was armed with knives looking around for a threat, as was I. We walked out of our cabin, and then I realized I fell asleep by the lake, so how'd I get to my bed. 

"Stealthwave brought you back and put you in bed" Thalia said from my left seemingly  reading my mind and I looked at her confused, "he scared me bringing you over and almost an electric punch in the face. Then I fell asleep on the stairs as he was putting you in bed and woke up in my bed as well, but other than that what's going on" 

"I don't know, but it feels like one of you are in pain, are any of you" I asked wincing again as the pain came again

"No" they all said shaking their heading and I sighed in relief, and then there was another screech and everyone started run out of the barrier into the forest in full armor or with just their weapons, shields and pajamas, and we followed in our silver parkas. As we ran up they parted for us letting us past and those who didn't got either smacked or tripped from my hunters...for obvious reasons. 

We stopped as we saw the big field full of golden dust up to our knees and then I saw something purple near the middle of the field and I gasped. I completely forgot about the bonding ritual between me and Stealthwave. I was running full speed towards him leaving my girls behind. Then I saw a giant golden spear protruding from his back. I went around to the front of his vision and bent down next to him with a hand on his head just as his skin dulled to a grey color and I felt a slight wind as my hunters joined me and they all gasped, except for Thalia. Who ran to the other side of his head and checking to see if he was still alive, and when she saw that he barely was she looked at us and stood. 

"Come on stop standing there and help me get my cousin to the lake" she said and we all seemed to snap out of our trance and we picked a side and lifted him up, and almost threw him into the air from the lack of expected weight. 

"Why is he so light?" on of the hunters asked and I shook my head in shock and slight disbelief at why he wasn't heavier than all of us combined either. Then we all started to run at a hunters pace as we carried him on our shoulders through the camp passing the other campers who were knee deep in the dust still looking around at the golden field in shock to notice anything else and when we got through the barrier Thalia pointed to the nearest body of water, which was at the back to the third cabin, the Poseidon's cabin, and we ran in that direction and set him in the water. 

"Now I am going to take out the spear and we wait" Thalia said as she and a couple other huntress' wrenched out the ten foot spear and Stealth's body began to glow as the water took him in. He sank under the waves with us all praying that he wouldn't die on us, mainly me due to my guilt for forgetting about him. Then the light died down and Thalia went into the water after him and not a second later something shot out of the water with Thalia and when they stopped rolling. Stealth was on-top of her like their first reunion with his paws on her stomach grinning like his old self. 

So. What'd I miss? he said still grinning and she wriggled him off and punched him in the face, but recoiled holding her wrist. 

"Dang Stealth, your face is like a rock" she said and he breathed ice on her hand and I heard a couple cracking sounds as her bones healed, and then he opened his mouth again and bathed it in yellow fire and we all gasped when her hand looked healed. 

Sorry about that he said and she stared at her healed hand in awe and then she hugged him and he froze up from shock. When she parted from the hug he shook his head and looked at her.
