Stronger

15. (What Doesn't Kill You Makes You) Stronger

"I still don't get why we have to come here, Thalia" Phoebe argued to the Lieutenant of Artemis, who sighed in exasperation.

"The closer to the city, the more chances to get someone new for the Hunt" the daughter of Zeus explained for the million time.

"What kind of girl should we look for?" Cara, a daughter of Athena, asked.

"Anyone who looks bad or scared of men" was Thalia's reply, while she eyed a college student "And I think we found someone" she smirked.

You know the bed feels warmer

Sleeping here alone

You know I dream in colors

And do the things I want

"Hey! Yes, you!" Thalia shouted to a brunette with green eyes. She looked thin, covered in baggy clothes and dark make up.

"Can I help you?" the girl replied, annoyed. Thalia simply smirked.

"How did you make that bruise?" she asked, casually, pointing at the purple dark bruise in her neck. The girl widen her eyes in horror and covered herself, though it was the last week of June.

"I hit a door" she mumbled under her breath. The Hunters shared a look between them.

"Twenty for the stepdad" a nymph bet with her friend.

"Thirty, the boyfriend" the other one retorted. The girl frowned.

"Are you betting on my bruise?!" she yelled, outraged.

You think you got the best of me

Think you've had the last laugh

Bet you think that everything good is gone

"You can have a best chance with us" Phoebe butted in, trying to get on the girl's good side.

"Alanna!!" A male voice shouted and the girl flinched, looking guilty "Where- who are these?!" he asked, gesturing the Hunters.

"Your worst nightmare" Thalia threaten him, narrowing her eyes. The guy smirked and wrapped an arm around Alanna, who looked away. That was enough for Thalia "Come with us, Alanna" she offered her, pulling her hand out.

"Alanna wouldn't be caught dead hanging with teenage girls" the boy slapped her hand away, chuckling slyly.

Think you left me broken down

Think that I'd come running back

Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

"You know what, Roy? Go screw yourself" Alanna sneered at him, feeling a boost of confidence "Or better yet, go screw one of your many whores!" she yelled, slapping him.

"Feisty. I like her" Thalia complemented her with the Hunters, who were cheering for her.

"You're making a mistake" the boy, Roy, stated, looking smudgily. Alanna smirked back.

"I think I'm not" she stated, walking away with the Hunters, who were greeting her like a sister.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
