UNEXPECTED

CAMARIA PUT HER BOW down and looked up at her father. "Is that good enough, Daddy?"

"Not fast enough, again." Apollo crossed his arms over his chest as he bit into an apple.

"But Daddy, I already did five times. Can I have a break and play with Auntie Arty?" The nine year old begins to play with her braid.

"Fine, only for an hour and then you are to come back here immediately alright?" Apollo looked down at his young daughter.

They didn't look alike at all. Camaria had tanner skin than her father and her hair and eyes were dark brown like the soil, as her father's eyes were green as the grass.

Sometimes people would forget she was the daughter of Apollo when they looked at her. Some people would tell Camaria that she looked like her mother, but she's never met her.

"Thank you!" She smiled softly and then ran over to hug his waist, her face burying into his stomach.

Afterwards she ran the opposite way and went to find her favorite aunt. Now she had many relatives, but Artemis was her favorite. Camaria could easily play with her and sing songs with her whenever she wanted. Plus Artemis was one of the nicest out of all her aunts.

"Auntie Arty! Daddy said I could play with you now!" Camaria ran into her aunts room.

"That's great, lovely. Let's get out those dolls we made hm?" Artemis emerged from the closet.

Camaria nodded eagerly and reached under her aunts bed, taking out a wooden box hidden under the bed. She sat on the marble floors, taking out wooden dolls that she and Artemis made.

"Auntie, can I ask you a question?" Camaria holds her doll in her small palms.

"Of course, what is it? Anything worrying you?" Artemis looked over at her niece.

"Why does daddy always make me practice my bow and medicine skills when I want to play and draw?" Camaria big brown eyes looked up at her aunt.

Artemis bit her lower lip anxiously, wondering what answer she should give the nine year old. "Because.... because there are bad people out there."
