Hunter on the Hill {open}

Christina sighed as she took a gander of the camp below. It had been too long a time since she last came to Camp Half-Blood. She wasn't really fond of the camp and its people. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Her Lady Artemis has gone off in search of a dangerous beast on her own, and now... she has to go here.

"If something wrong happens here. God help me, I don't care."

She trudged to the side of the tree where her new lieutenant once resided in.

"Am I really supposed to be here, my Lady?" She looked at the cabins and then at the hearth at the center. The wind blew hard, as if to answer her question.

I walked over the girl in the hunter's uniform, "Hi, what are you doing here?" I asked her. She didn't look happy being here. But being here, where was the rest of the hunters?

Christina looked at the camper and sighed, "My Lady has sent me here for she has set out on a hunt of her own. My other sisters have decided to split up, but my lieutenant told me to stay here because I am wounded. As much as I don't want to stay here, I have to agree with her."

She looked at the pine tree again and sighed, "If only I wasn't wounded."

"You need to go the infirmary? I could take you there if you need me to." I offered. So, the hunters split up. That doesnt wanna happen often.

Christina gave the girl a scrutinizing glance, "Very well, I could really use your assistance. It has been too long since I last came here." She winced as her shoulder started hurting again.

"I'm going to take you to the infirmary, this looks bad." I told her. I may not have the best healing skills. But I've had my fair share of cuts and bruises.

"Yes, of course. I may hate it here, but I do know when to yield." She tried moving her shoulder, and hissed. She learned the hard way, to never fight a dragon with just a hunting knife, but was it her fault? That assault was uncalled for. And, she didn't like Camp Half-Blood. She was, after all, just a mortal. She would never tell it to anyone, but she didn't feel like she belonged here, and that was why she never liked coming over to this place.

I helped her up and led her to the infirmary. When we got there, I told her to go sit on a bed. I got Ethan to help her. She only needed a few stitches. But her wound would take a while to heal. About 2-3 weeks. I don't know about her, but she seems pretty annoyed right now.

Christina sighed, "You are wondering why I do not like this place, are you not? I can see it in your eyes." Maybe, if she told someone, she wouldn't be so... annoyed.

"Really?" I said. Hunter. Camp. Boys. Vows. It made sense. She didnt like the place because of the boys. If it was something else, it was probrably personal. I didn't want to invade her privacy. Her buisness is hers, my busness is mine. It was simple really. The ways she said it though. Sounded like she had it bottled up for a long time. I would be willing to talk with her. Help her on whatever was bothering her. Everyone has a secret they woun't tell anybody about.

"Yeah. I hate it here. It's because, I may be a Hunter, but I'm still a mortal. I never appreciated this place even if I do say that some parts of it are beautiful... I've been alive for a long time and it's been so long since I last saw dryads and naiads and some wood nymphs as well. Mankind has destroyed too much. And that's why I also hate being a mortal. I may be immortal, but I was once mortal." She sighed, "I'm babbling. But what can I do? I'm filled with pent-up frustration. All my other sisters are lucky to have had an Olympian as a parent, there were only few of us who were mortals in our past days. I do know that my Lady Artemis is like a mother to me, and I love her. She's been more a parent to me than my own parents. But, still that doesn't make me feel... the special feeling. Funny, don't you think?" She looked so depressed, her head was down. She shook her head, there was no use getting upset.

"It's okay. You don't want to be a demigod. I've only talked to my dad once. I don't have a band of sister that care. I've got messed up powers. Apollo didnt know I exsisted till I arrived at camp. My mother and step so called 'family' hate me. It's not the best. " I paused. "I know how it feels like to be left out. I can't heal. I can't use a bow as well as the others. I can't even hit the bulls eye." I told her.

Christina noticed how many similarities they had. She understood how she felt, being left out, feeling inferior. "I can teach you. How to use the bow and arrow. Soon, you'll be as good as any Apollo archer out there. Or... would you rather join me in the Hunters?" Christina tried to not sound too hopeful. There were lots of girls out there that she had asked to join, but they all said no. Saying they couldn't leave their loved ones.

"You could teach me how to use a bow and arrow. But I dout you'll have a good time doing it. The hunters... its something that I can't promise right now. I don't like to make promises that im not sure I can keep." i told her. As much as I would love to, I couldn't. It was too hard. I hoped I didn't put her down by declining her. I would like to join, but then some secrets I'd have to keep forever. I just coudln't do that. If they heard, then I may get kicked out. I don't know if I can give up boys either... I haven't met anyone yet. I really want to though.

Christina shook her head, "I will not have a bad time, it is the least I can do to repay you for helping me. And, you do not have to apologize for your declining of my offer. Most girls these days, do not want immortality and would want to spend their lives with men, rather than being a maiden. So I understand." She moved her injured arm, it hurt less than it did a while ago. "When I am fully healed, shall we start training, don't you think?"

"Sure." I said. "Do you want to go to Artemis' cabin right now or do you want to stay here for now?" I asked her. It was better for her if she rested now. The wound woulnd heal itself that fast. I wandered if I were able to give up boys. I haven't liked one in my life. I never felt love. I woulnd never understand love. I don't know if I wanted it. But at the same time, I feel that I should give it a chance.

Christina nodded, "I can only hope to heal properly. Thank you..." Christina frowned, she didn't know the maiden's name.

"Korina. Korina Walker." I finished for her. I didn't remeber if I didn't tell her my name. It was really weird scince all that happened and I haven't even told her my name yet... Embarrasing.

Christina nodded, "Thank you, Korina Walker. Christina Drakos." She grunted as her shoulder stung once again.

Trenton was walking around camp when he noticed two girls. He recognized one of them but the other was unfamiliar; a huntress from the looks of it. As he walked nearer he noticed her wound. Whatever it was it wasn't to serious; a dragon wound perhaps? He found it odd how analytical he was compared to the other ares kids. He decided to ignore them, but The Fates must've had different plans because he tripped. Right into the huntress.

As Lady Artemis was on a private hunt, I was to make sure that all the Huntresses were well and cared for. Everyone else had set up camp in Central Park, so I decided to look in on Christina. I saw the boy tumble into her, and literally threw him off of her. "Christina, are you okay?"

Christina's eyes widened as a boy fell on her, she felt him thrown off her back, she looked at who it was, "Oh, Helena. I'm glad you're here." Christina sighed in relief, her wound still hurt, but not that much.
