Summary
Alex’s mouth thinned. “You say that like I’m weak.”
Lily snorted before she spoke. “If you were weak you could train yourself to be stronger. This isn’t that. This is handicapping yourself.”
“I haven’t-“
“You don’t get to abstain from violence just because you don’t want to kill. That’s not how it works.” Seconds dragged by. Lily breathed in through her nose before exhaling. She shouldn’t be bothering. She didn’t have time to be hand feeding the hunter even if she was one of Percy’s little-
“I am not-“
Lily cut her off again. “You should have tried to kill me hours ago.”
Alex looked as though she had swallowed something unpleasant. Really, why had Artemis let her join her hunters?
“I lost my weapons.” Not everyone was like Percy. Not everyone had a magical sword that could never be lost. Not everyone had powers that made them dangerous even if they didn’t have a weapon on them.
Lily’s shoulders shook. She let the laughter out before suggesting, “You could have bashed my skull in.”
The kid could have taken one of the numerous rocks around them and slammed it against the back of Lily’s head. She hadn’t. Unfortunately, it wasn’t from lack of ingenuity.
