Livy
"S.T!" I grabbed her arm a few days later, as she left the dining pavilion after breakfast, "do you manage to get through to your Aunt Thalia?"

"Yeah, I Iris Messaged her last night," S.T replied with a grin, "the hunters are in the area at the moment. She said that they'll be here tonight, so we can join up and then leave with them!"

"I'm excited," I grinned at her, there was a fluttering in my stomach almost like butterflies.

S.T shook her head and laughed, "you're like a little kid in the holidays."

"Well it is exciting, you can't deny that!"

"Yeah, it is exciting."

"Aunt Thalia!" S.T ran almost the entire way across camp as soon as she heard that the hunters had arrived and of course she dragged me behind her the entire way.

"Junior!" A girl who looked around sixteen with short spikey hair, a small silver tiara and startlingly blue eyes grinned. She was wearing a silver jacket with a black worn t-shirt that held the slogan 'Current Mood=done', she had a bow and quiver slung over her shoulder. She was accompanied by many other girls, all of whom were wearing silvery clothes and bows slung over their shoulders.

"I didn't think that you were coming straight to camp," S.T said, she shot a surreptitious look around, making sure her parents and brother were not within earshot, "we were planning to come and meet you away from camp."

"Let's walk and talk Junior," said Thalia, she turned back to the rest of the hunters, "head to the Artemis cabin, I'll see you all there."

S.T promptly grabbed her Aunt's arm and dragged me and Thalia towards the lake.

"So are you going to introduce me to your friend?" Thalia asked S.T, looking at me, her electric blue eyes made me feel as if she were looking into my soul and analysing every inch of it.

"This is Livy," S.T said, "Livy, this is my Aunt Thalia."

"Why are you sixteen?" I asked bluntly, I had been expecting to see someone of the same age as S.T's parents, but instead, I was presented with someone closer in age to me.

Thalia shook her head and laughed, "I only look sixteen. I've been a hunter for years, and in case S.T didn't mention it, we don't age." I nodded, Thalia cocked her head and frowned at me slightly, "who's your godly parent?"

"It's-" I started.

"-not important!" S.T finished. We were at the lake by this time, S.T having released both me and Thalia and allowing us to walk by ourselves. S.T lead us down the jetty, and we sat down at the end of it. S.T and I dangled our legs over the side, our toes touching the water, but Thalia elected to cross her legs, avoiding the water.

"What is important is the reason we wanted to talk to you," S.T bit her lip.

"Which is?" Thalia asked.

"We want to be hunters," I blurted out.

Thalia opened her mouth to speak, but S.T began to rant before she could say anything.

"I know what you're about to say, it's a big commitment, mum wouldn't like it- blah, blah, blah!" S.T said, "but I know that I know we'd have to swear off boys and all of that. That's not a problem, I only want to date girls, and-"

"Junior," Thalia cut her off, "you have to swear off all romantic relationships, not just ones with boys."

"What?" S.T glanced at me (I think she thought that I didn't see that, but I pay way more attention than she thinks I do).

"You heard me, you can't have any relationships, not even with girls," Thalia informed her, "I know you mean well Junior, but you can't make a massive decision like this about the rest of your life without knowing all of the facts." 

Thalia got to her feet and walked away, leaving S.T staring dejectedly at the lake water, and me staring quietly at her face, which had her emotions written all over it. 

That was when I came to the conclusion that S.T fancied me.

Sorry that it's been a while! I haven't got any pre-written parts left for this book, so I'm writing it as I go now!
