The guardian

"Who are you?"

I would like to thank everyone for asking me to update I had no idea people liked my story and it was those requests to update that got me to do this so this is chapter two. And if it's not as good as the first chapter please tell me what went wrong. thank you.

The hunters had doubled their numbers since the massacre but the original 27 were all still remembering their fallen comrades, and they were still asking the same question, how had the werewolves pulled off such a coordinated attack? But they couldn't dwell on it for now, everything was so hectic. They had gone on a massive recruiting spree and had found 22 new recruits all of which were now training with bows and perfecting their shooting. In the two weeks since the massacre they had not been attacked once. The Guardian had stopped every attack. Only one of the attacks had gotten very close to the camp. A monster had gotten so close to the hunters camp that the newest and youngest recruits had found themselves face to face with a scared Empousa that was pleading for mercy "please, save me please sa-" it had been cut of with a sword through the chest. The girls stared at the place where the monster had been and looked up a man with a black hood was staring at them, then he turned around and walked away.

The next day Phoebe woke up from her coma and was immediately stopped by Artemis before she could get out the door. "Phoebe you need to rest you can't be up yet"
"Oh come on Artemis I'm fine let me see all the girls- oh my gods how many died" Phoebe said as she remembered the slaughter.
"Around 50 phoebe"
"Oh my god" phoebe gasped putting her hands to her mouth.
"We've doubled our numbers since then but the massacre was so great that we had to get help"
"What did we do?" Phoebe asked, suddenly wary.
Artemis sighed before speaking, "When I started the hunters my brother was worried for me and gave me a present, it was basically reinforcements in case we were ever in more trouble than we could get out of"
"What did we do?" Phoebe repeated
"We took the help he gave us"
"What did the help become?"
"A guardian"
"Where is she?"
"It's not a she its a he"
"Where is it?"
"When It's not fighting monsters it keeps look out from the top of that tree" Artemis said pointing at a tall tree.

Phoebe marched right up to the tree and looked up. She could see a figure huddled amongst the leaves and sitting on a branch. "HEY YOU! GET DOWN HERE!" Phoebe yelled attracting the attention of all the hunters. Thalia ran up to Phoebe to see what was happening. "Phoebe what are you doing?"
"I'm going to tell this guardian to clear of" phoebe said as the guardian jumped off the tree. The guardian did a front flip of the tree and landed crouched at the feet of the two girls. He slowly rose until he was head height with the two girls and then continued to rise until he was a few inches taller then them.
"We don't want you here, clear off" Phoebe said, glaring at the boy. The boy tilted his head to the side and looked at Phoebe "I have been ordered to protect you until a suitable replacement can take the job, I was chosen for this job because I am the only one with the ability to protect you both physically and mentally" the guardian said in a monotone voice.
"There must have been a woman who could have done the job, instead of a stupid male."
"there were two, but I was chosen." He answered
"We don't want you here, go away and live your life, you must have a family why don't you go back to them." Phoebe demanded.
"I was risen from the dead my family are most likely dead"
"I'm sorry for you but we hate boys and we are immortal"
"Then you better get used to me because I'm here to stay." The guardian finished as he jumped back onto the tree. Phoebe walked away fuming with Thalia behind her, all the hunters got back to their jobs and the guardian stared at their backs.

Phoebe stormed into Artemis tent and found her leaning over a map. "Artemis we have to know who the guardian is, we can not not know who he is." She demanded. Artemis pondered this for a few moments before speaking.
"agreed bring him here"

The Guardian entered Artemis's tent with Phoebe and Thalia. Four people were already in the tent. Artemis and three hunters. Guardian recognised the hunters as Naomi, Celyn and Atlanta. Of course they didn't know who he was no one knew who he was. "Please take a seat" Artemis offered him a seat.
"I'll stand" Guardian replied.
"Very well, we need to know a few things about you."
"I will answer as best I can"
"Ok, who are you" Artemis asked
"I'd rather not say"
"Tell me"
"I tried to be polite but fine, I won't answer your question"
"I am an Olympian goddess are you denying me the answer yes"
"That's exactly what I'm doing" Percy said and thought to himself that before he died he would have never dared talk like this to a god or goddess, well, apart from that prick Ares, but times change he mused, he wasn't the same man he had once been.
"Fine" Artemis said glaring daggers at the guardian while her hunters just stared open mouthed at him.
"How did you die" Thalia cut in.
The guardian looked at her "my fiancé stabbed my in the back" he said remembering the cold, hard sting.
"Percy..." The guardian heard Atlanta whisper to Naomi.
"What was that?" Percy asked knowing full well what she said.
"Nothing.. But.. Actually when you were dead did you met a man called Percy Jackson in the underworld "  Percy saw lights go on in their eyes.
"No, I didn't" the light went out in their eyes. "But the underworld is a big place he could have been anywhere. " Percy finished .
"Do you have any family?" Phoebe asked.
"Their most likely dead but what year is it?"
"2028"
"Oh" Guardian said surprise. "actually they probably are alive"
"So who are they"
"I didn't tell you who I am I'm not going to tell you who they are."
"Fine" Artemis said.
"Do you have any special abilities that help you protect us" Celyn said reluctantly.
"Yes I do not need to sleep eat or breath I was brought back to life to protect you and nothing else"
"Okay, that's all we need to know for now.. You are dismissed Guardian. But I am giving you an order. I order you to only protect the hunters as a group in a big fight or battle. You may protect any individual hunter if they are in trouble, it doesn't matter what trouble."

The guardian left and jumped back up the tree. He had a frown on his face. He had been resurrected to protect the hunters but he had just been ordered not to protect them 24/7. Guardian saw the logic behind it, now the hunters wouldn't grow lazy from not being attacked but still he didn't know what to do. All he could do he thought was wait.

The moment the guardian left the tent the hunters talked among themselves but soon left as well. Artemis was now alone in the tent and she teleported to Olympus. She quickly found Apollo flirting  with some nymphs. Artemis grabbed one of his arms and steered him away from the two nymphs. "Hey little sis what can I do for you" Apollo said as he saw his sister.
"Remember that gift you gave me when I started the hunters." Apollo"s face paled. "We used it and I'm here to thank you, we would all be dead if it wasn't for you"
"The guardian, is it a male?"
"Yes why?"
"Poor guy" Apollo mumbled. "Do you know who he is, who he was."
"No he won't tell us but now that I've said thank you I should get back to my hunters, again, thank you brother." Artemis was about to teleport but Apollo grabbed her "I'll be coming round to check if he's good enough, you know, up to scratch" Apollo said as his brotherly nature kicked in.
"As long as you don't flirt with my hunters that should be fine" Artemis said before teleporting back to the hunters camp.
