Artemis's Hunters

Chapter 2

"Here eat this," Mia said as she handed me little cup with the square of ambrosia in it. "What does it taste like?" "Well for me it tastes like the fresh homemade brownies my mom made for me when I was little.
"All right," I said I took the ambrosia between my fingers and popped it in my mouth, "Mmm it tastes like that lemon cake I nicked from that bakery in Montgomery, Alabama." Then she walked out of the room. Slowly I fell asleep.

When I was just waking up from my nap. In walks two girls that could be no more than 16 each. One of the girls had long black hair that was in a braid going down her back with and bright blue eyes.

The other girl had medium length hair that went to just below her shoulder blades and it was curly, very curly her eyes though they were so dark of a brown they were almost black.

"Hello Sky my name is Abigail, "the girl with the braid said, "My father is Ares, and this is, My Lady Artemis." "Mia said that you would like to be a Hunter is that true?" Artemis said while Abigail stared at her.

I said, "Yes that's true so can I?" "Yes repeat after me," Artemis said, "I."
"I," I said.
"Promise to follow the demigod rules," Lady Artemis said.
"Promise to follow the demigod rules," I repeated
"And not to mess around with other mundanes," Artemis said.
"And not to mess around with other mundanes," I repeated.
"And not to fall in love with a man," Artemis said.
"And not to fall in love with a man," I said.
"I accept immortality or be punished by death by my Lady Artemis," Artemis said.
"I accept immortality or be punished by death by my Lady Artemis," I said.
Artemis said turning to Abigail, "You bore witness to all of this did you not."
"I did," Abigail replied. After she said this they walked out of the room.

Almost the instant they walked out Mia walked in. "So how does your arm feel, "Mia asked sounding genuinely concerned. Sky replied, "Wh....oh ya I kind of forgot because it doesn't hurt anymore." "Well that is a good sign may I?" She said gesturing at my arm.

I nodded my head at her preparing for the worst. When she got to the end of the gauze I closed my eyes tight ready to have a high tolerance to the pain.

She completely had it unwrapped and I didn't feel a thing. "Wow your dad really must love you to strike up a deal with Apollo to get you to heal like that," Mia said. Outside the thunder rolled as if in protest.

"Well I know of Lady Artemis pulling string like this, with her brother, but only ever for her Hunters....unless," she said with an accusing glancing. One guilty look from me was all it took to confirm what she already knew. "You didn't but that means we are sisters yay!!" She yelled giving me a hug.

"You know," I said struggling to get my breath, "I think that hellhound was heavy because I think my rib is broken." "Oh my.... did I forget to tell you that here, have some more ambrosia."
