Artemis's Vow
Prologue:
At the top of Mt Olympus, a pair of beautiful godlings, are born, one of them, a girl, a child of the moon herself, this is her story, the eternal hunt, and how it turned from good to bad to today...
12 years later...
'Artemis, dear what have I told you about being a lady?' ,said my mother Leto , 'After all , you are Zeus's Daughter , and Apollo is going to become a god – haven't you heard , now there is a good boy, god of Poetry ,Prophecy and the Sun...Dear me!'
I tuned out from mother's conversation with herself wearily – Mother always liked Apollo better – so did Father, that's why he became a god and not me, not that I care , I want to grow up marry and have many children , sadly I 'm stuck at stupid 12 – at least for a week! Then I turn 13 – oh yeah! Mother says I can be courted then and she, father and the gods can decide whom I may marry! Thank Hera!
I swear, I shall be a woman in a week!
Mother is still rambling on about Apollo – great. I might go for a walk around market in Athens, 'Bye Mother!' I say chirpily as I walk out the door, 'But Darling, don't you want to hear about Apollo's new chariot – that's how, he control's the sun...' I hear as I walk out the door!
I love the market , it's so busy and bustling , I think as I finger woven goods and pottery hungrily , I look at a Pot with pictures of hunting on it , a simple thought comes to mind , I want it , except I have no money, 'Alright love , cackles the sales man , ' you want this one !'
'I would love to,' I respond 'but I have no money...'
'Aw too bad, now hop it, if you have no money, go on'
I begin to walk away, starting to cry hopelessly,
But a voice says 'I'll buy it for you, miss.'
I turn around ...
Author's Note:
Some of you may be reading this and getting confused, this is set before Artemis is a goddess, before she took her vow everything that will happen won't yet that will come in later chapters. Also Leto is Apollo and Artemis's mother, look it up anywhere! Artemis's feelings towards Apollo are the same as in the books. Except this is what sparked these feelings! OK that's it, just please Read & Review and tell me what you think, I have really enjoyed writing this chapter and hope there will be more to come!
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson, it belongs to Rick Riorden!
Thank you for reading folks,
