She shouldn't be scared. She really shouldn't. She's dealt with an Olympian goddess being angry with mortals, she's looked Zeus in the eyes multiple times, and she even raised a multi-headed dragon. She should not be scared.

When Artemis suggested a movie night with just each other away from the other Hunters, Zoë was ecstatic. Yet here she is, petrified, because instead of Artemis' usual choice of some rom-com that they would never finished because they would be too busy reenacting one of the heated scenes, Artemis decided to choose a horror film that is said to be one of the scariest of all time.

So here she is, silently suffering through a gory horror film that has way too good of graphics, while Artemis appears to have no problems watching. Instead of finding herself tangled in sheets with her goddess, she is just silently wishing for the screaming to end on their TV screen so she could curl up into Artemis' side and go to sleep.

She couldn't be more thankful when the movie does end and Artemis wants to sleep. Artemis seems to fall asleep as soon as her head hits a pillow and Zoë is left lying next to her in an old cabin wide-awake. Artemis is facing away from her so Zoë decides to hold onto Artemis closely from behind.

Just as Zoë finally starts to relax, Artemis suddenly yells Zoë's name loudly, scaring Zoë enough to fall out of the bed. Artemis hears the thump and rolls over on the bed to get a better view of her lieutenant. She can't help but giggle when she notices Zoë sitting on the ground with a pained look on her face.

"What scared you, Zoë?" She laughed. "Come on brave one, I'll protect you from those nasty monsters."

Zoë is only able to manage a glare at her goddess before crawling back into bed.


There is virtually no Zartemis stories and I highly doubt any more will be added since Titan's Curse will no longer be made into a film. They are one of my favorite ships ever, so when I was cleaning out my computer and found a bunch of little drabbles about them, I figured I would post some of them.

Forgive the shortness along with any and all grammar/spelling mistakes.
