The Masked Legend (PJO Fanfic)

Travel Back

     The Hunt has taken off with Morgan the new recruit. . They were traveling back to the camp they have abruptly left. However, they weren't exactly the happiest right now.
   The road to home wasn't long but this one person had made it long.
  " Sal~ I know you want to~"  Aphrodite purred while holding his arm.  Tracy finally screamed in frustration. She stomped over to where Sal is and grabbed out her knife.

   " You better take care of this woman soon or this knife will be in your stomach instead." She threatened him while twirling her knife.

  Sal gulped and then saluted at her.
" Yes mam!" He said before turning his attention towards the goddess of love.

" Now missy did you hear that? Could you just go away and leave me alone? I know I'm hot and all but still you don't need to hang on to me like a koala to a tree." Sal complained. Aphrodite just pouted. She looked at Sal using puppy eyes.

  " You don't like it?" She said with a soft and hurt tone. The masked hunter hesitated. It isn't the fact she's hanging on to him. It just how she look right now. There was different features that is on Aphrodite but he didn't know who Aphrodite is reflecting on.

That bothered him since he didn't exactly know who he had feelings which makes it hard for Sal to hide those feeling and ignore it.

" No." He said coldly. His eye narrowed slightly at Aphrodite's advancement. The goddess of love stepped back slightly at the sudden coldness. He stepped forward and pushed her next to a tree. Sal leaned closer to Aphrodite's ear.

" Do not mess with my feelings." He growled silently into her ear. His dagger near her stomach. Sal glared at her at slightly. It not like he hates her or anything. But he dislike how she acted around him. He hates how she's acting like she's all in love with him when she is just lusting for his body.

The goddess of love just gulped in fear. Artemis cheered as she saw the goddess of love is getting threatened.
  " I'll be back." Aphrodite muttered to Artemis who just smirked and said, " I'll beat you again."

The goddess of love then turned back to Sal.
" Bye Sal~." She said hugging him tightly before flashing away.

" Finally that woman is gone." Tracy said in relief.  Sal sighed also in relief. That woman is like one of the monster he had come across when he was in Tartarus.

  Thalia jogged over where Sal was. The two of them walked together in the woods.
  " Is it fine if I asked a few questions?" Thalia said while walking. Artemis was walking ahead however she made sure to be at a range where she could hear exactly what they're saying.

" Why?" Sal asked with a smile inside his mask. Thalia just shrugged and just smiled at Salomao Hunter.
" Cause I want to get to know you." She replied with a smile on her face. Thalia genuinely wanted to get to know this person.
He came into this world of mythology so sudden and so casually.

Sal came into her life so sudden and yet the way how she and her group of companions interacted with him so smoothly and nice spark her interest. It felt like they were talking to a long lost companion of theirs.

And the thing is, she didn't even know Sal. He was like a complete stranger to Thalia and the others. But it seems like they have become friends or even family without noticing. Especially one of her man-hater sister Phoebe.

Sal froze a second not knowing what to say or do. The same thing happen to Artemis as she continued to eavesdrop. She didn't think about getting to know him. First of all, all she want is to get info out of Sal and secondly it just felt like she had known him for years.
