It was bad to be outside especially in this heat, even at night the heat didn't completely go away. But Allyson had it up to here with her parents so, she had decided to run away. She didn't pack much just what would go into her book couple books on Greek Myths, her sketchpad, couple hundred dollars that she had saved and stolen from her parents and she walked through Times Square, she had picked today because her parents were shopping around New York City and it was easy to lose them in this mess of people. Falling back she went behind a building and finally relaxed.
Her shoulders were killing her and if she didn't get something to eat or drink she'd pass out soon enough. She dug in her bag and found a squished sandwhich and a warm bottle of orange juice, that would have to do for now. She would find her friend. She half wish she'd paid attention to traveling with maps. She got one out which was a paper map and started to study it...it was Times Square, and...Brooklyn was...where? "darn it!" she said aloud.

"Well that language certainly doesn't become a young maiden," a twelve-year old girl said beside her. She had red hair and strange green eyes that seemed to contain a heavy wealth of knowledge in a young face. "Though I have used it from time to time," she admitted.

Allyson looked up sharply at the girl. "Who are you?" Ally took a step back and too a defensive position. She shook her head. She looked at the girl's eyes and stumbled back. "Okay, who are you?" she asked.

"Hmm, I see you have some books on Greek mythology, no?" the girl smiled, "Some might address me as Lady Artemis."

Ally had to jog her memory back to remember. Lady Artemis, Artemis of the hunt. "You're the Goddess of the hunt" she said now it all coming back to her. She hadn't read Mythology in awhile but that was only because she had been planning her escape. Drinking the rest of the warm orange juice she said. "How may I help you?" she asked calmly. If it was not her parents, she would be calm with the devil himself. She threw her trash away at the nearby trashcan by tossing the bottle with the sandwich wrapper inside, her aim was true and it went right in.

Artemis smirked. "You have a good arm," she observed. "I take it you're running away?"

How had she known but then she realized Gods and Goddesses knew everything so she nodded, no use in lying to her. "Yes ma'am" she then shook her head at the earlier comment. "Years of practice of trying to haul things and hit my parents..."

"Hmm," Artemis mused, "Would you be interested in becoming one of my huntresses?"

She tried to remember what a huntress was...it was at night she wasn't thinking anymore all her thoughts had been on not getting caught. She closed her eyes and nodded. "So long as that involves never seeing my parents again" she said as she shifted her heavy bag to her other shoulder before shutting it, she did not need the content to spill over.

Artemis considered her with a serious expression. "Do not agree until you know what you are getting into. You will become immortal unless slain in battle or taken by sickness. You must forsake men forever. To break this oath is to die," Artemis sounded grave, but her eyes held a hint of warmth in them and a small smile turned the corner of her mouth upward as she added, "And you will never have to see your parents again, if that is your wish."

She nodded, swear men off forever that sounded just fine, it all sounded just peachy. She nodded again. "Yes Goddess...I swear to keep this oath and stay a maiden forever" she said as she looked at her. She held her gaze with a confident gaze of her own, she was sure.

Artemis smiled, "Welcome to the hunt, sister," she said warmly embracing her. "Oh, and just another thing. I hope you don't mind your skin glowing slightly . . . It's a side effect of immortality."

Glowing skin, well, could be worse right? she hugged her Goddess feeling comfort more than ever in her life. She gathered her things and looked at Artemis. "What now?" she asked looking around. Her parents would be frantic, so would her friend. She wondered what if anything she would tell them but she tried to keep an expression of lack of concern on her face. None of it mattered, not really, she was a huntress now.

"You can say goodbye to them if you wish," Artemis said, "but if not then we can continue on to where the others have already set up camp."

She shook her head. She didn't want to see her parents, there was a reason she was running after all. She tried to hide the burn marks that she had on her by putting her hands in her pocket and nodded starting to walk.
