Children of former Huntresses

[Luna [Misty]]

"Wait.....Phoebe Warren? No wonder I didn't recognize you. She hugged Casey then sat back down on the cot. "Well, a lot has changed since you died. We were all devastated. But we went after Cupid about 2 months ago. Aphrodite then made all the huntresses over the age of 15 fall in love. Even.....Hadley and Anna left and they were only a couple months older than I was. As the oldest, I became leader and everyone here is younger than me. They have a lot of heart though and I've drilled all the army and unison stuff in them, just like Dani taught us......she died a couple weeks after you did....battling a hydra." She looked down, remembering all the previous huntresses and the girl who had been leader when they had battled Orion, and when Phoebe had been, well, Phoebe, and not Casey.

"Yep." Casey grinned and returned the hug. "Wait... Hadley and Anna both left?" Casey's eyes brimmed over with tears. Mira immediately went to comfort her, and Casey blushed a bit. "If you don't mind... can I rejoin the Huntresses? It sounds like you'll need me more than ever now." It was sort of ridiculous, this centuries-year-old girl asking permission to return to her long-time home of a girl not even a twelfth of her age, but Casey didn't seem to view it as such.

[Luna [Misty]]

"Fine by me. It's good to have you back, Pheebs, or Case, but I'm still gonna call you Pheebs, reminds me of the good, ole times when everyone was still here."

[Arrow]

Casey smiled. "Okay. I'm going to get myself re-acquainted with everyone." She left, and Mira stared at the doorway. "She's... amazing.."

[Luna [Misty]]

"You should've seen her when she was a huntress. She killed a hydra with 7 arrows in one shot, killing it instantly while 7 huntresses on the ground burned the necks so it couldn't grow new heads. Pheebs was like my big sister. She taught me the ropes and looked out for me."

[Arrow]

"Yeah." Mira sounded bitter again. "She's a new person now, though. She's not the Phoebe of old... she's Casey, too." Mira sounded like she was trying to convince herself. She got up and left the tent.

[Luna [Misty]]

Luna fell back on her pillow and rolled onto her side. "How could Phoebe come back after all this time? Why couldn't she have come back sooner? Luna had been heartbroken when her big sister had died. She had felt like she had lost her family again. But...at lease she was back now.....or at least......Casey was.

[Arrow]

(I think that Luna should at some point wonder about Mira) Casey was having a hard time getting re-acquainted with the Huntresses. There were so few that she recognized, and that Artemis would bw bitter, revengeful, like wait. Hadn't Artemis swore in Phoebe and Thalia's hearing that she'd harbor no hard fwelings towards her followers who broke their vows? For Artemis to go against her word was very... unlike her. She wouldn't do it unless she sensed an oncoming war... a danger in the lives of demigods. Casey turned and raced back i to Luna's tent.

[Luna [Misty]]

Luna was tossing and turning in a nightmare, reliving the moment where Cupid had talked to Mira, instead, this time, he took Mira away and Luna was once again heartbroken. "No......Cupid.......take me......instead.....don't.....take.....Mira...." She mumbled in her sleep.

[Arrow]

Upon seeing that Luna was asleep, Casey curled up in her sleep and dreamed about spiders with red eyes, whispering "I know your secrets... I know your secrets... I know your secrets..." Strangely enough, there was a lot of background noise. When Casey woke up, she found that they were under attack by a group of men headed dogs. Or was it dog headed men? Dog headed men.

[Luna [Misty]]

Luna woke up screaming and sweating, but she heard noises outside. She grabbed her bow and quiver and raced out of the tent. "Huntresses! Notch your bows and fire on my signal and my signal only!" she yelled to the camp as the enemy approached. "Mia, Hazel! Release the dogs and see if they can distract the monsters and lead them away." she yelled towards two girls who were near their dogs. "If that fails....Artemis help us aim true or we'll be dead before daybreak." she muttered to herself. "Casey, you still as good a shot as you were back in the day?" she asked, tossing Casey an extra bow and quiver of arrows.

[Arrow]

Casey stared at Luna, then at the dogs. The dogs had to somehow be connected with Artemis, any other way was really impossible. The dogs didn't faze the monsters much, only a few were lead away and destroyed. Casey didn't know what to do... Lots of Huntresses were already wounded, too many. So Casey opened her mouth and screamed. "Mira!"
Mira immediately rushed to her side. Casey muttered in her ear in Ancient Greek, and Mira understood. Raising her arms, she yelled out: "Incantatio: Torris! A wall of fire erupted around the dog headed men, who had grouped together, ready for another attack. Casey grinned at Mira and yelled "Fire your arrows! The fire won't hurt them."

[Luna [Misty]]

Luna stared at Casey then snapped back to reality and fired her bow. She rubbed her arm, embarrassed that Casey had done a better job countering this attack than she had. "Sorry. I'm still new at the whole leader thing. Plus I haven't been at my best with not getting enough rest." She explained.

[Arrow]

"It's fine. Being leader is a tough job. Even Thalia had some troubles. Besides, the fire won't last forever... Just enough for us to re organize. Mira's still a bit shaken up and couldn't do a very powerful spell. Why do you think the dogs are here?" Casey was shooting at the dogs this whole time, missing occasionally.

[Luna [Misty]]

"I don't know. Neither Aphrodite nor Cupid are associated with dogs, so it can't be them. I don't think Artemis is angry with us. We've been doing the sacrifices like Dani taught us and doing the occasional special sacrifices. We haven't made any new enemies recently either."
