Percy sat on the best branch of the tallest tree in the forest. He sat watching the hunters. He had been ordered by Artemis to only protect the hunters in a big battle or fight. So Percy had nothing to do but wait, wait and watch. He had a chance to think for the first time. So he thought about his past, how he had died.

~flashback~

He had been running through the forest near the camp when he had been stopped by the hunters (ironic that he was now protecting them, Percy thought) "Percy I can't believe you betrayed us all" Thalia shouted at him. With that every hunter drew their bows and fired at him. He dived out of the way but one arrow went through his shoulder. "AAAAGGGGGHHHH" Percy screamed. He staggered away and kept running this time though he was running from the hunters. He got to camp and started running towards his cabin. He was ten meters away when Katie Gardner and the Stoll brothers saw him. They took out their daggers and ran at him. Percy was completely taken aback by this and stood there dumbfounded, unfortunately this gave them time to get close to him. Katie threw a knife at Percy and it cut his side. Percy started to run away but he was wounded and wasn't as quick as he could be. Katie had her dagger back in her hand and had caught up to Percy when she was knocked over by someone in armour. That same person hit Connor on the face and swept Travis's feet from under him. The person in armour took her helmet off. Clarisse la rue stood there with a scowl on her face. "You've got a bit of explaining to do prissy, everyone thinks you've been working for Gaia, it's not safe for you here, go home, hide." With that she turned around and walked off.

Percy had managed to make it to his moms house in New York he was bruised cut and bleeding, he had been attacked so many times he had lost count but he was alive. He stumbled up to the door of the house and rung the door bell. Instead of Percy's mother, the door was opened by someone who made Percy's heart jump for joy. Annabeth. His fiancé. "Annabeth thank god it's you, I'm being hunted by everyone" Percy went through the door way and into the living room. "They think I was helping Gaia, how stupid is that? Where's my mum?"
"She's at the hospital Percy."
"Oh my god, what happened."
"She was pregnant Percy, she's having a baby"
"That's wonderful I've got to go, I've got to be there." Percy said turning his back to Annabeth and turning to the door. It was then that he felt something cold and sharp enter his back. It came out of his back and he turned to Annabeth. She had her knife out and it was covered in blood. "Why?" Percy asked. "I'm sorry Percy but you did side with Gaia. So many people died because you sided with Gaia and Kronos. Beckendorf, Silena, Lee, Bianca, Zoe, Castor, Michael, Luke and so many others." Then everything went black.

~flashback end~

Now he was here looking after the same hunters that shot arrows at him. He was watching a group of young hunters firing arrows at targets. They were getting very good, better than he had been when he was alive. He vaguely remembered managing to hit Chiron with an arrow even though Chiron had been behind him. He was looking at them when three large hell hounds jumped out of the shadows. They dropped their bows in fright at the shock but got their courage back. The hellhounds were standing over their bows but they took out their daggers and advanced upon the dogs.  It was brave Percy thought but stupid they had no hope of defeating the hell hounds.

Natasha was the name of one of the hunters facing the hellhound. She had her knife out and was advancing on the dog with her two friends suddenly all three hellhounds lunged forwards. Natasha expected to be crushed under an overwhelming weight and then death. What she didn't expect was a shower of golden rain. The hell hounds had been turned to golden dust. Next to the dust that was gathering at her feet was a silver arrow she looked at her friends and saw the same thing had happened to them. Golden dust and a silver arrow. They looked around for three of their sisters who had killed the three hellhounds. They saw no body. Natasha saw a glimpse of silver up in a tree. She craned her neck and saw a figure huddled in the branches of a tall tree. The guardian. And he had a bow in his hands.
