Here's the deal, guys. I've already written ahead to Chapter 10. However, from now on I'm not going to post another chapter until I get a review. Heheheheheheheehe! Review!

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 least she was back now...or at least...Casey was.

Casey was having a hard time getting re-acquainted with the Huntresses. There were so few that she recognized, and that Artemis would be bitter, revengeful, like wait. Hadn't Artemis swore in Phoebe and Thalia's hearing that she'd harbor no hard feelings 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 to Luna's tent.

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.

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 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.

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 flames won't hurt them."

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.

"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.

"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."

"That's what I was afraid of." Casey sighed as she took down another dog headed man. If it wasn't a new enemy it was an old enemy, and old enemies were more dangerous.

Luna couldn't think of any of the huntresses enemies that had access to magic or anything that could conjure up dog headed men like this. She continued shooting the monsters and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her shoulder. She looked at it and saw a red arrow sticking through her shoulder blade, a blood stain getting bigger and bigger as the blood soaked her shirt. She turned around and saw Cupid smiling evilly. She turned back and said one sentence to Casey before she passed out and fell to the ground. Cupid has brought hate upon us.

After Luna had passed out, Casey turned around. "What did you do?"

"This was not her fight, Phoebe. You know that. Her wound is not serious."

"Where did these things come from?"

"An evil mistress. Things stirred when Gaea woke, Phoebe. They have been plotting revemnge, and after long years of preparation they are ready to start a war like never before. A total apocalypse, Phoebe. It has begun."

Just then, the last monster was killed, and Cupid disappeared. Mira and other mostly unharmed Huntresses got the wounded Huntresses to medicine tents and started tending them, Mira and Casey using magic to heal Luna and wake her up.

"Cupid...red arrow..." Luna mumbled as she sat up. "When I get my hands on him, he's gonna regret ever learning archery." She growled, punching her fist into her palm. She stood up and rubbed her shoulder. "Is everyone ok?" She asked the two huntresses.

"Yeah... But... There's something you need to hear." Casey retold every detail of what Cupid said to her.

"It all makes sense now. That's why Cupid has been watching Mira. He thinks she can stop the apocalypse." Luna said as they walked back into the tent. She changed her shirt and put the blood stained one in a plastic bag. "Quinn!" The girl rushed inside. "Have one of the girls throw this away for me. See that everyone recieves the medical attention they need and make sure everyone gets fed." Quinn nodded and took the bag before leaving the 3 girls alone to talk.

And this is where we leave them.
