Just your typical Pertemis story...It's a little different from the other ones so I hope you like it...

*Camp Half Blood*

Percy's POV

Saying goodbye to all my friends is going to be hard. I have no idea how to express my feelings and say what I want to be heard. Now, I have no reason left to

live, especially after Annabeth left me for my stupid half brother, Jason. I finally decide to write letters to my friends before I leave for Olympus to end my pitiful life.

First, I decide to write to Thalia. I made her letter short and sweet telling her how great of a sister she was and how she was great for always supporting me.

Next, I wrote a letter to Nico, who was like a brother to me. I told him to continue to work on his Underworld powers and he would one day be very powerful and

a great leader. Finally, it was time to write to Artemis. Actually, now that the time had come, I really didn't know what to say to her. Oh! Sweet Artemis...She is so

beautiful with eyes like stars twinkling at night. But sadly, I know there is no hope for us because she is a maiden and can never get married. I finish her letter

quickly, seal them all and leave them on my table. I back my bag with some ambrosia and nectar, grab Riptide, and walk quietly out the door of my cabin. I walk

outside the camp Half-Blood and turn around to look at my second home one last time. Remembering the first time I was here brings back bad memories. I shake

my head and continue to walk towards the woods.

*The Next Morning*

Third Person POV

Roll call sounded in the camp and as all of the cabin members for each god and goddess slowly, still groggy and grumpy. Even the Hunters of Artemis were up and

ready to start the day. All of the cabins filed out and headed to the mess hall to eat breakfast. Except one.

*Skips to after breakfast*

"Has anyone seen Perseus lately? He hasn't been around since last night." said Chiron. All the campers replied "No..". Chiron decided to check Poseidon's cabin, just

to make sure Percy was okay. When Chiron went in, he scanned the room and it was evidently empty except for 3 letters on the dining room table. He went

outside and all the campers looked at him expectantly..."Well, Percy is gone." said Chiron. He shook his head and and headed out the letters to the people they

were addressed to and said "If they say anything about where Percy is, tell me ok?" The three campers nodded assent.

Artemis's POV

I feel so bad for that Perseus Jackson. He seemed half-dead yesterday after he found out that Annabeth was cheating on him. He is actually a decent guy and is

very handsome too. Whoa...I shouldn't be going there. Anyway, I read his letter and I found that he always had a soft spot for me. How cute...I found myself

blushing as I thanked the gods that no hunters were near. I shouldn't being thinking this! my brain screamed. But he's so cute! my heart screamed back. I had

already sworn to remain a maiden so there was no hope. I decided to keep my heart a secret.

*FLASHBACK*

Third Person POV

Percy had just returned with a handful of half-bloods and he was exhausted and injured. He stumbled towards the infirmary to get patched up. Then, he decided to

visit his old girlfriend, Annabeth. He hadn't seen her in six months and couldn't wait to beautiful face again. He asked the members in the Athena Cabin and they

pointed him towards the lake. He limped over there and fell to his knees in anguish when he saw Annabeth kissing another boy. He screamed in pain.

Annabeth and the other boy which turned out to be his half brother whipped around and Annabeth looked shocked. He exclaimed "HOW COULD YOU?! I TOLD YOU

THAT I WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU AND THAT I LOVED YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD...but I guess you didn't feel the same way about me.

Annabeth's lower lip shuddered "Percy...I...I...It's just...I thought you were dead and I missed you so I started to date Jason because he reminded me of you."

Jason grinned smugly and pulled Annabeth in for another deep kiss and she looked at Percy sorrowfully but did not pull away. Percy howled and ran away.
