Artemis' POV

Yesterday was confusing. I woke up this morning only to have an olympian meeting called. Father started out the meeting.

"I have new for you all," He thundered. A lot of Gods stifle their laughter. "I got a message from Chaos today."

Cue gasped for everyone even me. "Choas?" Athena asked. "Whoa, she never interrupted. What did Choas tell you?"

"Choas told me that there is a war coming, with Nyx" Ares jumped up in joy. Zeus glared at him and continued. "He told us we have a few months to prepare and we need to organize our troop. So I have decided that Camp Half-Blood will be the perfect place for our troop." Zeus took a deep breath. So dramatic. "Hera, get the Amazon to Camp within 1 week. Artemis, flash your hunters there. Ares, go as Mars and get the people from Camp Jupiter to Camp Half-Blood. Hephaestus and Athena, work together to make a city like New Rome inside Camp Half-Blood. Meeting dismissed."

Everyone flashed out to do what they are supposed to do. I flashed back to the hunter's camp and found everyone at the table eating their breakfast.

"Save any for me?" I teased. Ally immediately stood up. 

"What do you want to eat?" I looked at her in surprise. "Spaghetti and meatball," I told her. She clapped her hand and what I order appear in front of me. All the hunters except for Thalia and Percy stare at her in shock. She just ignores everyone and goes back to her seat.

"I have an announcement to make," I said to get the attention off her. "We are going to Camp Half-Blood today." Everyone groaned at that, even Percy. I understand why he doesn't want to. Ally doesn't seem to like it either. I am pretty sure it is because Percy got betrayed there. "There is a war coming with Nyx and Zeus wanted to organize his troop there."

I heard an 'I knew it' from Ally. She started mumbling to herself. I told everyone to pack up everything. 

Ten minutes later, with the help of Percy, we flashed everyone over to Camp Half-Blood. Thalia sounded the Hunter Horn. Ally handed Percy a hood he thanks her and put it on. Chiron comes up and meets us.

Just then, a boy that I am sure is Tom came. I scowled at him. He winks at Ally and Percy glared at him. Ally glared at him as well. "What are you looking at Boy." I am impressed. She could be sweet to my brother and a total monster to other boys. I still don't know what she sees in my brother.

"Who is your new guardian?" Tom asked us. "A weak baby? He probably won't be able to win though me."

There is no way in my whole immoral life will I that him into my hunt. 

"I accept your challenge," Percy said. "When and where?"

"This afternoon at the Arena," Tom challenge.

"You are on," Percy said, confidence lace in his voice.

"You won't win over my boyfriend," Annabeth snarled. Ally pointed her Bow at Annabeth and was about to shoot it when Thalia seem to catch on. She points to Annabeth than to Tom. "You and Him?"

"Yes," Annabeth replied with a smile, then kiss Tom.

"What about Percy," Thalia asked. 

"He is a traitor," Annabeth said. "He is nothing but a lying bitch." Thalia gasped as she seems to know why Percy is now in the Hunt. 

I could tell Percy is close to tearing up so I went to him and whisper in his ear. "She doesn't deserve you, don't listen to her." He nodded his head.

"Well," I told Chiron. "We will be at my Cabin."

Third Person POV 

The afternoon comes quickly today. Percy was getting ready for his fight. 

Tom wasn't even getting ready. He thinks he can single-handed battle the Guardian without any problem. Well, he was about to be proved wrong. 

Annabeth was hoping Thalia wasn't mad at her. It is not her fault that Tom is a way better Boyfriend Percy will ever be. She makes a plan to revealed the Guardian's identity. 

The two boys meet in the Arena. Percy with a sword Hestia gave him called Flame. Tom is ready as well. He took out the sword he has that has no name (He is lazy). 

"No power, first one to yield or strike a winning hit wins," Chiron said. "Ready, Begin."

The Hunters cheer for their guardian and the campers cheer for their hero. (cough, yeah right, cough)

Tom try hitting Percy in the rib but was blocked by his sword. It went on like this for a little while. Tom tries to hit Percy and he blocked every single strike against him. Percy is becoming impatient, so he strikes a winning hit against Tom. The hunters cheer and the Campers boos him. 

"Anyone else?" Percy asked. No one raises their hand even if they wanted to. Annabeth thinks this is the perfect time to put her plans to action. Using her invisibility hat, she sneaks up to Percy and pulls back his hood.

Everyone gasped as his face is revealed. He glared at Annabeth.

"P-Percy," Annabeth shutter out. 

"Why did you do that?" Percy shouted at her. "And is Perseus to you."

Everyone started yelling things like 'traitor', 'cheater', and a bunch of other mean stuff. Eventually, they started throwing all their weapons at him. Percy quickly put a force field around him. 

Ally got so mad that she created a lot of Wayports and everyone went a few feets off the ground and drop into the Wayport again. Than repeat. She tired out eventually and fainted and suddenly a bright light blind everyone. When they can see again, they saw Apollo on the ground with the girl. He glared at everyone and flashed her away to his temple.

Percy wanted to kill everyone for hurting his sister but Artemis manages to calm him down by mumbling soothing words to him. Everyone stares at her in shock but she ignores them. 

"Well," Chiron said. "That was interesting. Capture the Flag will be tomorrow."

Percy walked back to the Artemis' Cabin with the hunters. "I think I should tell you what happens here."

"Are you sure?" Artemis asked Percy. He nodded.

Percy explains everything like how he got betrayed and banished. All the Hunters listen quietly. Soon, they went to bed, thinking about all the things Percy have been though and promising to treat him like a brother.
