(Your POV)
I wasn't able to get much if any sleep last night as I was mulling over what I should do in my head. On one end I know that I can't keep traveling with the hunters especially with Christa as I know that she's grown attached to me and to stay would only cause more heart ache. However I really don't want to go back to camp as I would be treated like even more of an outcast especially with the death of my friends, this is truly a difficult decision to make.
After pacing the length of my tent for the up-tenth time I decided that perhaps getting some fresh air might help with the decision making. Once I left the confines of my tent I saw that many of the hunters had begun uprooting camp. "Hey what's going on are we moving this soon?" "By orders of Lady Artemis we have begun to draw closer to camp half-blood and we must continue our journey at once."After a few hours of hiking in some pine forest in Jersey I began to reminisce on the journey so far. I was at deaths door when a group of immortal man hating girls decided to save me of all people, I was a indentured servant to them for a while not that I minded of course, and I owe it all to one goddess Artemis. To say that I was surprised that Artemis of all people would save me was a complete understatement at first glance one would assume that she had it our got all males but that just isn't true, she has it out for men who for lack of a better term deserve the hate they get. Not only that but she is kind of cute which is a really weird thing to admit, something tells me that mother dearest has something to do with these feelings I have for her.
Once we reached the campsite that was decided upon I went to go set up my tent away from the others, that was until Artemia approached me. "Hey (y/n) why don't you set up in the main area this time we've been having increased monster activity and the any ti make sure you're safe and secure." As she spoke to me I don't know what came over me but I began to blush, when she approached she was in her older form sporting her signature auburn hair in a long braid and her beautiful silver eyes were looking even more intense than usual, not only that but the silver parka she had on complemented her curves nicely. Oh gods I pray she didn't read my mind. "(Y/n) are you ok? You're cheeks are bright red are you overheating?" "Uhm yes lady Artemis I'm fine, I'll set up my tent in camp tonight thank you." She simply nodded her head and walked off to take care of other things to do.
As night fell and the hunters began to turn in for the night I laid upon my cot trying to doze off but I just couldn't, a certain person kept keeping me awake and I felt weird. I felt as if I was burning up on the inside but had no fever this truly was the worst feeling, "gods what is wrong with me why do I feel this way" I said to myself before I felt my eyes draw heavy and I finally dozed off.
When I awoke I found myself in a very familiar garden where a very familiar lady sat next to a stone fountain. "Mother to what do I owe the pleasure?" "Ah son do you really think I'd miss one of my children's first romantic realizations?" As she said that I stood there dumbfounded, "what exactly do you mean? I've never felt any type of way about anyone before in my life?" "Ah how exciting! It's not every day when one of your children falls for a god." "I'm sorry what do you mean by that?" Aphrodite just rolled her eyes and stared at me again. "I'm talking about you, the way you act and talk around her I must admit it is rather odd how you fell for her but I am not here to judge but rather to help." It was then that I realized what she was talking about as I had overheard many of my siblings talking about how they were visited by mom when they found "the one". I had fallen in love with Artemis goddess of the moon and maidenhood, gods help me.(Hey all sorry for the shorter rewrite I've just been bogged down at work lately and haven't had much time to continue but I will get this thing don't even if it kills me (hopefully it won't come to that) anyway peace out I'm going to take a nap)
