Author's Note: SHA-WING! FIRST PERCY JACKSON FANFIC! This is gonna be FUN! :D

Title: The Archer. Yeah, I know it kinda' sucks, but it was the only thing that I could think of.

Summary: Jenn Abrams is the 16 year old daughter of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force – a demigoddess. When she meets one Percy Jackson, her life takes a BIG turn.

Pairing: Percy/OC. I wasn't a huge fan of the Percy/Annabeth pairing in the movie. It was too weak, in my opinion. Thus, I'm shoving Annabeth to the side and giving Percy a chick with one hell of an attitude. :)

Rating: T. I can't do smutty, fluffy M-rated 'fics that well. Sorry if you readers were expecting an M rating outta me.

Perspective: It's gonna jump between first and third person a lot. Jenn's parts are obviously gonna be told from a first-person P.O.V. You guys get the basic gist of this.

Yay! Drabbling's all done! NOW WE CAN THIS SHINDIG ON! ENJOY IT, GUYS!

Prologue

Artemis had never been able to deal with strong emotions well. Anger was too complex and complicated, almost to the point where she'd shut out everything and shut down. Love was very awkward on most occasions; Artemis never knew what to say or do, nor did she really want to know. Fear was seen as a sign of weakness to Artemis, so she just brushed that feeling off to the side.

Then, there was sadness, the one emotion that Artemis had never really experienced before. She'd always told herself that when - correction, if - she experienced sadness, then it would be treated like fear: brushed to the side without an inkling of regret.

Tonight was different, though; Artemis suddenly found herself unsure of how to deal with the sadness that was washing over her. Her fiercely independent soul was aching intensely as she fluidly walked down a rain-soaked sidewalk with a small, gray bundle cradled in her arms. It seemed, to Artemis, that the aching was an attempt to stop her from doing what Zeus had ordered her to do.

A bolt of lightning shot through the inky-black night sky, causing the hunting goddess to duck beneath a hulking tree rising from the thick Brooklyn concrete. She held the bundle to her chest as thunder rumbled menacingly, slowly rubbing her right palm on it in circular motions.

All of a sudden, the bundle began to whimper and squirm underneath Artemis' protective arms. Instinct kicked in, and Artemis began to rock the bundle gently, all the while cooing, "There, there, little one. It's all right, mama's here. It's all right, little one. Don't cry."

Once the whimpering had subsided, Artemis slowly pulled the bundle away and pulled a small flap to the side. There, the small, serene, sleeping face of a newborn baby girl was revealed; the sight of her made Artemis' heart swell with pride. The little girl's cream-colored face was tinted with rose in her cheeks, her small lips formed a perfect little apple, and Artemis knew that when this little girl opened her eyes, they would be grayish-blue - the color of moonstones. She smiled to herself; my daughter's beauty rivals that of Aphrodite's.

Artemis forced herself to look away from her daughter so she could figure out where she was. With a bittersweet twinge, Artemis realized she was across from where she needed to be...and what she had to do. She quickly made her way over to the ivy-green rowhouse, making sure nobody could see or hear her.

She stood under the awning, and took a sad, long look at her child. "My darling," she whispered softly, "your mother loves you with all her heart. She always has." Tears began to build in Artemis' eyes. "But...she has to say good-bye. She would give anything not to."

Artemis set the baby down under the awning, away from the rain, then took out something from her jeans pocket - a necklace with a small pendant hanging from it. The pendant had been shaped like two overlapping waxing and waning moons, with the moons being made of milky-blue moonstones, and the small teardrop crystals hanging from it made of sapphires. It had been a parting gift from Zeus himself. "Your independence is what makes you beautiful," she'd remembered him saying as he presented the necklace to her. "This can add to it."

Artemis nestled the necklace within the folds of the baby blanket, silvery-looking tears rolling down her pale face as she did so. She hated what she was doing; no mother should've ever been forced to do this, and yet here she was, committing the deed. It made Artemis feel slightly sick to her stomach.

"My daughter, I love you so much. I wish I didn't have to do this," she murmered in a voice that was filled to the brim with pain.

Like a broken woman, Artemis banged her fist on the heavy oak door before her twice, then stepped back. When she heard footsteps come towards the door, she dashed away, and back towards the tree across from the rowhouse. Then, she watched as a man with short, dark brown hair, clear green eyes, and a pierced right ear picked up the baby, and held it to his chest.

"I've waited a while for you to bring her," the man said to Artemis without looking in her direction.

Artemis blinked back another wave of tears. "You do not know how much this pains me, Kyle. It's killing me to leave my daughter."

"I know." Kyle finally turned to look at Artemis. "It's killing me, too." His eyes swam with sadness when he said this.

Artemis shook her head, then looked up at the sky through the tree's branches and leaves. Another bolt of lightning shot through the sky, but there was no thunder following behind it - Zeus' way of telling Artemis that she had to leave. With a muffled sob, Artemis whispered, "Take care of her, Kyle," then ran off into the night as fast as she could.

I'll never forgive you for what I've done, Zeus. I'll never forgive you for this.

Then, without another thought or word, Artemis disappeared from the earth, and returned to Olympus.
