Hey everybody! Sorry to some of you this will come right in the middle of my first story, (which I suggest you check out :) ), but I couldn't get this idea out of my head so I needed to put it down. So here it is I hope y'all enjoy!

Regular talking-"..."

Thoughts-'...'

Disclaimer- I own nothing, unfortuately... Total buzz kill I know.

Greece- very ancient times

It was a dark night, the moon and stars were shining brightly dimly illuminating the forest below and all was peaceful and quiet. Until a loud scream shattered the silence, "MOM! MOM! ARI LET ME GO! WE CANT LEAVE MOM!", a young boy about the age of 7 was being dragged along by a 14 year old girl. The boy had messy midnight black hair with bright sea green eyes dressed in a once nice tunic, that was now ripped in several places. The girl, now known as Ari, had dark brown hair that cascaded down her back, and piercing light blue eyes. Her hair was matted with twigs and a few leaves sticking out.

"No Percy, Mom is g-gone" Ari replied slightly stumbling over the last word. She contunined to drag Percy until he finally accepted that they weren't headed back, and began walking on his own.

Suddenly they burst into a clearing dotted with silver tents. 'Thank the gods, the hunters of Artemis' Ari thought slightly selfish. The hunters quickly noticed them and instantly had very pointy arrows aimed their way.

"Identify yourself" a girl with dark onyx colored eyes and black hair demanded. She had a silver tiara on her head, showing she was the Lieutenant of the hunt.

"I-I am A-Arianna" Ari said gesturing to herself slightly nervous with all the stares, and gesturing to Percy she contunined, " this is my lit-ttle b-brother P-Percy".

The harsh stares towards Ari immediately dropped, but quickly resumed upon Percy, who shrank back behind Ari. Then a figure walked through the crowd of hunters, she was about 12 with auburn hair and serious silver eyes, " I'm Artemis", she said, " goddess of the moon, chastity, and the hunt" (sorry if I forgot one of her domains those are the only ones I could remember)

Ari immediately dropped to a knee, but in doing so revealed all of Percy for the hunters to see, and notice that he wasn't bowing. And with a completely innocent face he asked, "Am I supposed to bow? Because my mommy always said to bow to gods, but she said they were really, really, really old." With large curious eyes he asked,"Are you really old?" The hunters were stunned silent, Ari was about to start apologizing for her brother and beg for forgiveness when instead of getting extremely mad, Artemis cracked a half smile. A smile that mixed minor annoyance and mirth all at once.

"Yes boy", she replied ," you are supposed to bow" Percy quickly bowed. "Now hunters as you were, Arianna and the boy will accompany me to my tent and share their story." Everyone hastened to back to bed, most were quite tired.

Artemis lead the two siblings to her tent, where they sat down on the animal pelt cover floors."ok now tell your tale." Artemis commanded once they had sat down.

Arianna took a breath then recounted to Artemis their tale. She told her about how a fire had started on the house next to them and it had quickly spread through the thatch roofing. And how when she had pulled a half asleep Percy out of the house, but they both quickly realized that mother wasn't behind them. Both wanted to go back and save their mother, but 2 hellhounds burst out of the woods. The people of the town quickly began to fight them with whatever they had. "When we turned back to our house" ,Ari sniffed, "we saw our m-mother t-trap-pped under a fallen beam. She was yelling for us to leave, she ordered me to take Percy and run, and she said we could find help in the sea. So we ran, I dragged Percy because he wanted to go back and then we found the Hunt."

As Ari finished her tale, Percy was already fast asleep on the pelts.

Artemis realized how late it was and told Ari," go ahead child, sleep. You are safe here. We will talk more in the morning." And with those words, Ari closed her eyes and promptly fell asleep

The next day

Percy awoke to a loud cheering outside, wondering what was the cause for excitement, he got up and walked out of the tent. There in the middle of camp all the hunters stood around Ari and Artemis. Arianna was now clad in sliver and had a bow around her back, with hunting knives strapped to her side. "Welcome to the Hunt sister" Zoe said, as the Hunt cheered again.

Then Ari saw Percy standing there, when the Hunt realized what she was looking at they dispersed to break down camp and leave. Taking a deep breath Ari walked over to Percy to tell him what had happened. " Hey Percy", she started but was quickly cut off by Percy asking ," why did they say 'welcome to the Hunt sister'?"

Arianna's POV

I was overjoyed at joining the Hunt, Artemis had asked me almost immediately after I woke up.

Flashback

I had just woken up, and walked out of Artemis' tent. Just a little ways away, was the Hunt eating breakfast. Artemis was the first to notice me and waved me over to eat with them. I sat down and grabbed some of the bread and meat, then actually struck up a conversation with a few of the hunters. After a few minutes Artemis began talking with us as well. She began to ask where I plan to go and what to do, and I wasn't sure. I answered with something like protecting Percy. Which didn't get the best of responses from the hunters. Then Artemis gave her pitch for me to join the Hunt, several hunters including one, whose name I think was Phoebe, added all their opinions to try to persuade me.

At first I was hesitant to leave Percy, but they mentioned a trainer that goes by Chiron that could take care of Percy until he got older. I was tired of taking care of Percy, I took care of him while Mom worked whatever job she could. Weather that was being a maid cleaning the house of the rich or being a worker for one of the merchants. And in the Hunt I wouldn't be responsible for anyone but myself. I could be selfish for once, and take the immortal life of a hunter. And I accepted.

End of Flashback

Now I had to explain this to Percy before we leave, which shouldn't be to long now. Then a stinging sensation spread across my cheek, I looked up to see a concerned Percy with mischief in his eyes. " You zoned out for few minutes, Ari. So I had zone you back in!" He said happily.

Just then Zoe came over and told me, " Its time to go"

Percy looked over to her in confusion and asked, " Where are we going?"

"WE are going to hunt down a beast. YOU boy, are headed to Chiron a centaur that trains heroes." Zoe replied, while Percy flinched back at how harsh she said boy.

Turning back to me, Percy had a pained face, " Your leaving me?"

Hanging my head I replied, " Yes Percy, for a life in the Hunt." But that didn't help Percy's pained expression. Sighing I realized he wasn't going to understand right now, so I tried to bring him to a hug saying," Its okay Percy-"

But I was violently shoved back, by Percy as he said, "No! only friends and family call me Percy." and with hurt and pain in his eyes, he continued saying, " And you are no longer Family." He quickly turned and ran and ran.

I stayed in the same position for a very, very long time, the words Percy said to me echoed over and over again. 'no longer Family. no longer Family. no longer Family'

Shaken out of my thoughts by Zoe who told me it was time to go, I just nodded, but I wasn't truly there I was on auto-pilot the rest of the day.

3rd person POV, with Percy 2 days later

Percy had been running for days, not always physically, but always emotionally. Right now though he was running and running hard. There was a pack of hellhounds on his heels just snapping at the chance to taste demigod blood. They had found his scent a couple of hours ago and hadn't given him much of a rest break.

Weaving his way through a particularly dense set of trees, several tree branches whipped him in the face leaving several scratches and one came dangerously close to his right eye. But thankfully the denser trees had slowed down the hellhounds with them having to fight through the trees, but still didn't give him much time.

Noticing that he had ran into a tiny clearing with a small fire with smoke drifting into the night sky. Around the fire were two beings radiating a lot of power, there was girl, who looked about 8 with brown hair and warm inviting orange red eyes. The other was a man of about 25 with silver hair and ice colored blue eyes. Percy immediately ran over, " Please you have to help me, there is a pack of hellhounds right behind me", Percy begged. Just then the pack burst through the trees, even more pissed at the lack of food. The man looked at the girl, who nodded, he quickly stood up and then in a pure blur zoomed over to the hellhounds who suddenly burst into golden dust.

By the time Percy registered all of this the man was back to sitting next to the girl. He was blown away, he jumped up and quickly began firing questions, " Wow! Who are you? How did you do that? Are you gods? Should I be bowing?"

The man began to chuckle while the young girl giggled, " My name is Zoran, the Norse god of speed. That is one of my abilities, to move at super speed. yes we're gods. No you shouldn't be bowing. And this", gesturing to Hestia, " is Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home."

"So child", Hestia began sweetly," Who are you?"

Percy puffed up his chest, "I'm Perseus, but my friends call me Percy."

"Okay Perseus, where are your parents?" Percy visible deflated at her words. Getting concerned Hestia asked, " Are your parents ok?"

"My m-mother d-died a few days ago, my father was never there, and my s-sis-sister abandoned me for the Hunt." Percy declared miserably. Shocked by his declaration, Hestia quickly searched his memories to make sure. And sure enough it was true. She nodded to Zoran and he got the gist of what she was asking and nodded back.

Kneeling down Hestia came to Percy's eye level and asked ,"Perseus would you like to stay with Zoran and I for a few days? I have a cabin not to far from here, that we are staying at."

Percy thought for a moment, then nodded his consent. Hestia reached out and flashed them to the cabin, and Zoran was a split second behind. Percy immediately hurled on the spot, " Sorry", Hestia apologized, "it takes a little bit to get use to flashing places."

Percy just shook his head, and they all headed for the door. The cabin was bigger on the inside than the outside showed. It had a thatch roof and stone for the walls, a few chairs we scattered over the place with a large fireplace in the middle dominating most of the cabin. Off to the side was a doorway that lead to two bedrooms, Hestia lead Percy over to one of the beds. Using some of her power Hestia slowly made Percy very sleepy so when his head hit the pillow, he was fast asleep. Leaning over his peaceful face Hestia said, " Sleep well Little one. You will play a big part in the future, I just know it."

And there we go! A whole 2 thousand words for the first chapter! I hope everybody enjoyed the first chapter. If y'all have any corrections or suggestions please don't hesitate to review or PM me!
