Ok so this is my first Greek Mythology FanFiction. And ummm… don't judge about the pairing! They might be siblings but it's not like the Greeks cared much about genetics or incest, so ha!


Artemis' POV

What if you loved someone so much, that you would do anything for them? How would you feel if you couldn't be with that person? Not just because society wouldn't accept us, but because I don't know if he would return my feelings back. In fact, I know that he doesn't love me that way. The way he loves me is different… like a sisterly love. And that kind of makes sense, because I am his sister.

"Artemis!" came a bellowing voice that echoed from the walls

"What father?" I yelled back

"You are needed in the Great Room for a conference!" Zeus called. I groaned. I rolled out of bed slowly and tiredly. I am the goddess of the moon. I hunt at night. I stay up late. Why are all the meetings in the morning?! I changed into my favorite silk lavender toga and flashed into the Great Hall where all of the other gods were already waiting on their thrones.

"Artemis… How wonderful for you to finally join us!" Hera drawled from her spot next to Zeus.

"I would have been here sooner if someone had informed me sooner than 2 minutes before!" I huffed

"Please take a seat Artemis!" Zeus demanded. I sighed and took my seat next to my brother.

"Now I am sure you are all wondering why you were called for an emergency meeting." Zeus started. Everyone nodded, grumpy from being woken up so early. "Well, we will be having a royal wedding here on Olympus!"

That most definitely caused some commotion. After being alive for thousands of years, most news, is old news. So anything new is greatly anticipated!

"Well, who is the happy couple?" Athena asked

Zeus opened his mouth to answer, but Aphrodite beat him to the punch.

"Apollo and Fleur!" she squealed, laughing

My heart stopped. Apollo…

HOW IN TARTARUS!?

I turned to my left to stare at my brother. I had never even heard of a Fleur! When I looked at Apollo, he was smiling sheepishly at the other gods, but when his eyes met mine he flinched and looked down. The gods went into a fury talking and congratulating. All of the gods got off of their thrones and surrounded Apollo. They asked questions and demanded answers. Suddenly I was ushered out of my space and to the back of the crowd. I didn't even try to fight it. I met Apollo's dark, golden speckled brown eyes once more before twirling on my heel and rushing out of the room.

The garden of Olympus is truly a sight to see. What with the new designer and everything, it looks magnificent. I drifted over to the pond in the middle of the garden. I sat at the edge of the pond and ran my hand through the water. I looked at my reflection. I only looked 12 years old, with Auburn hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. I looked this way for my hunters, but it wasn't me. I changed my look. I had brown oily skin, and dark brown hair. I have deep, silver speckled blue eyes. This was more like me. I thought about the meeting. Wow… my twin brother is getting married. I never thought that would happen! I mean, I always knew he had a lot of different affairs, but marriage was never something that Apollo seemed interested in. Was I so bad a sister that I never knew my brother even wanted to marry?

"Artemis?" a voice whispered behind me. I would recognize his voice anywhere, but I chose to ignore him. "Artemis? Come on Missy, please talk to me!"

Only Apollo called me Missy. Some of the gods called me Arty, but come on! Do I really want to be called a guy's name? Missy was a name reserved for him only.

"How could you not tell me?" I whispered. I turned to meet his eyes. He winced. With each word, my voice got harder until I was almost shouting. "How could I have never heard of this woman before? Did you not trust me? Why did you keep this from me? Am I not a part of your life anymore?"

I started to tear up. I had not felt this emotional for centuries. How did Apollo do this to me?

"Artemis, no! Don't ever speak that way! You're always a part of my life! You're my sister and I love you!" He walked over and sat behind me as I looked over the pond. He wrapped his arms around my stomach and pulled my tight against his firm chest. His legs spread along my sides, and his head rested on my shoulder. "I'll always love you."

As I sat there in the garden with my back against Apollo's chest, his arms around my waist, I felt tears running down my cheeks.

"Who is she?" I asked

"She's wonderful. I met Fleur one day in Athens doing a favor for Athena. She was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She has long luscious blonde hair and bright green eyes. Her skin is like porcelain and her voice is like music. I fell in love when I first laid eyes on her."

My body was racked with sobs. I was uncontrollably shaking at my brother describing his new found love. I wondered why he didn't comment on my tears, but decided to ignore it. I swallowed my tears and shaking said, "I'm happy for you."

"Apollo!" Ares shouted from across the garden "Come! The other gods are waiting for you to tell them the news in the Hall!"

Apollo stood up to follow Ares, but turned around and knelt before me. He tilted my chin up to look at him. "Are you alright?"

I swallowed the thickness in my throat. I forced a smile. "Yes… Why wouldn't I be?"

He nodded, but his eyes never left mine. My breath was trapped in my chest, but the tears were still threatening to fall.

"Apollo!" Ares beckoned.

Apollo released my chin and followed Ares into the Great Hall after sending me one last parting glance.

My eyes shut as one last tear trailed down my face. Apollo's concerned face was the last thing passing through my mind before I flashed out to the woods to call my huntresses.
