On the Prowl [Moon]

Eliana Petriolis prowled through the forest, silent as a shadow. She flitted from tree to tree, purple eyes darting everywhere at once. She was searching for the silver stag. She had been on guard duty at the bridge, looking out for men and monsters when she had seen it. A flash of silver. She left her partner to guard the bridge and instantly followed the beautiful creature. A silver stag was definitely something for Lady Artemis to know about. Either that, or it was a sign from her. Eliana didn't know which one it would be, but she intended to find out.
She knew she had left the Hintress Camp, and she was pretty sure that she had entered Camp Half-Blood. Where else were you going to find a great big forest like this? A quick grin flashed accross her space as se spotted the stag. She crept forward a bit, but the stag bounded away suddenly, as if it had been spooked. Eliana frowned, it certainly hadn't been her making enough noise to scare it off. Then she saw the girl. Most likely she had been walking through the forest, completely clueless to the fact that she had scared off Eliana's target.
"You scared off my stag." she said disapprovingly, walking into a clearing to stand in front of the girl. She had to be a demigod; mortals couldn't enter the Camp. She raised an eyebrow, waiting for the girl to explain herself.

Eliana gazed wistfully after the silver stag as it bounded away. It was so beautiful, should she go after it? Eliana was seriously considering sprinting after the creature when the girl asked a question. The Hunter immediately turned back to the girl. She looked over her, thinking hard. She especially noticed the slight look of awe on the girl's face. Maybe this was what the stag had been sent for! A new Huntress. Eliana nodded to herself slightly. Alright, she had to get this girl to join. But she couldn't just come out and ask. Over the years Eliana had learnt that most people responded better to a more subtle touch. Eliana smiled and gracefully walked closer to Carmen, holding of her hand.
"Nice to meet you Carmen. My name is Eliana " she said kindly. And yes, I am a Huntress of Artemis. Why do you ask?"

Eliana smiled brightly as the girl shook her hand. That was the first step to convincing her to join. Sometimes some girls found Eliana a bit intimidating or something, but Eliana had never seen why. "Thankyou," she said graciously. "It's Greek." More like Ancient Greek, but Eliana wouldn't reveal how long she had been a Huntress just yet. If Eliana herself didn't intimidate possible recruits, then her time in the Hunters often did.
Eliana nodded as Carmen explained her interest. Most girls were interested in the Hunters at one point or another, and most of them hadn't met one. The Hunters and the Campers had an old rivalry, resulting in them not being very welcome at Camp. It was entirely Camp Half-Blood's fault though. It wasn't the Hunter's fault that they were so good at Capture the Flag and so strong in their dislike for boys.
"Of corse it makes sense." Eliana said immediately. "We have quite a few girls who have joined us from Camp. They all seem to enjoy the Huntress Camp much more than... here." It was obvious from Eliana's tone that she didn't find Camp Half-Blood very interesting or nice.
Eliana tipped her head to the side as she gazed at Carmen. She seemed very interested in the Hunters, it was only fair that Eliana warn her. "You do have to give up boys to be a Huntress though." she added. "But most likely you already knew that, you seem pretty smart."

Eliana flashed Carmen another smile as she eagerly esponded to Eliana's comments. She definitely seemed like the perfect candidate to become a Huntress. This belief was strengthened as Carmen admitted she could live without boys. This was going perfectly.
"That's ggod then," she said brightly, "Personally I despise boys and men of all kinds, but some Hunters just don't like them." That was sort of the truth anyway. There were a couple Hunters who just didn't like boys or joined because they wanted a new life. Most of the girls hated them though.
Eliana gazed over Carmen again, wondering if she should just come out and ask her whether she wanted to join or not. She seemed pretty into the idea of no boys and no Camp. "Boys are easy to give up when you trade them for immortality." she said, smiling widely. "And we each get to play with the wolves and falcons that help us hunt." Before asking Carmen the all important question Eliana was slipping in some of the highlights of being a Huntress. She hadn't followed the stag allthis way to come back empty-handed. Plus, it really did seem in Carmen's best interests to leave the Camp. She didn't look like she was very happy here.
"I'll tell you what,." she started, flicking her dark hair over her shoulder. "How would you like to be a Huntress?"

Eliana smiled prettily as Carmen agreed with her dislike for boys. It was always nice to meet somebody who shared her distaste for the male kind. Sure, Eliana was surrounded by girl's every day who hated men. But it was nice to know that people outside the Huntress world were disgusted by them as well.
Eliana's smiled widened even further as Carmen agreed to join the Hunters. She opened her mouth to say something, but stopped when Carmen mentioned her kitten. She thought for a moment before shrugging slightly. "I suppose that would be okay." she said thoughtfully, "but I don't think she'd become immortal, and she'd have to get along with the other animals. Lady Artemis will have the last say. But she lives animals, so I'd imagine she would allow it." Eliana paused, looking over Carmen thoughtfully. Then she smiled, her mission was a success. Now all she had to do was get Carmen to officially join by saying the oath in front of Lady Artemis.
Eliana glanced around the forest, wondering how far away the main Camp was. If Carmen walked here then it couldn't be that far away. "Well, to officially join you'll have to say the words of the oath before Lady Artemis. That mean you'll have to come to the Huntress Camp with me. You can get your stuff now if you want. It's probably better if I don't go into the Camp though, everybody always seems to know that I'm a Huntress somehow." she laughed lightly. Maybe it was the slight glow on her skin or something "Or you could go back later, I don't mind."
