Prologue
Artemis POV
I watched as Sally Jackson died of childbirth.
She was the lover of Poseidon, one of the only lovers of the sea god that was smart. But the demigod inside her must have been too powerful for her to withstand. As I waited from the Iris message I was currently looking through I knew the child was so to come out.
It was a boy.
I would've rather see her die giving birth to a girl rather than a boy that was going to be cocky and selfish while treating women disrespectfully like the rest of his kind.
Then I thought sparked in my head.
The parent of a demigod can't raise their child, but what if another god or goddess did? That wouldn't be going against ancient laws. What if I raise this boy to be just and right to women and set an example for his kind?
'That's crazy!' I thought to myself, 'Plus, if I were to raise him, I would have to do it in the hunt. My hunters would never accept that! Unless I show them so advantages that it would give them…' He could do their chores, make us dinner, stay up and guard our camp so we can get a good night's sleep, and so much more (after we teach him how to do all of this that is).
But in order to do all of this, I would have to get the child before the doctors do.
Quickly, I changed myself into a 30 year-old women. I teleported myself outside of the hospital that Sally had given birth at. I ran up to the receptionist desk and asked the receptionist how my 'sister' was doing. I had tried to keep up the act of a frantic women wondering how her dear sister was doing.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but Sally Jackson has died giving birth to a baby boy."
"Can I see him? I would at least like to see the little baby that had his mother taken from him and only had his Aunt Arty." Even though I hated being called Arty it was the only other name I could think of besides Artemis.
"Yes, you may see him. I'll show you the way to the nursery."
When we got there, no one else was in the nursery. It was the perfect time to take him. I knew which one was him because it was the only baby that didn't have a name tag on his crib. I quickly grabbed him and teleported away.
At the Hunter's Camp
Zoe's POV
Artemis has been gone for a few hours. She had left saying she had an important call to make and left me in charge till she got back. Well, of course she left me in charge, I am her lieutenant. The younger hunters had started to worry about where she had gone. I told them not to worry. It was Artemis we were talking about. If she met any trouble, especially from a boy, she would kick his ass into next week. They all relaxed after I said that.
Just then a flash of light exploded in front of my eyes. I had seen it before and knew just what it was. Artemis was back. But something was different.
She had a baby in her hands.
It was a boy.
I glared at the baby in her hands. No matter what age, males are all the same. I have yet to meet one good one. And that's saying a lot.
"Lady Artemis may I ask what that thing in your hands is?" I questioned her trying to sound as respectful as I could.
"This Zoe is Perseus Jackson. He is a demigod son of Poseidon. His mother died giving birth to him so I decided that we could do a little experiment with him."
A son of Poseidon! But I thought the Big Three had made and oath to not sire anymore demigod children. I would have though Zeus would break the oath first*. I guess I was wrong.
"What's this experiment my lady?"
"Were going to see if we can raise this boy to be kind, just, selfless, and respectful. On top of that, we will teach him responsibility by making him do all your chores, make dinner, stay up for the night watch, and much more. When he is old enough that is."
I started smirking to myself. Artemis wants to keep the boy and teach him to be good in multiple ways. That was fine by me. But what I was really excited about was him doing the things like chores in a few years. He would be like our own personal slave.
"You know my lady; this experiment doesn't sound too bad. Would you like me to tell the rest of the hunters?"
"Yes, the sooner they know the sooner we can start mapping out his life for the next couple of years that he spends with us."
I quickly ran down to the center of the camp where all of our tents were. I went into each tent telling the hunter/hunters in them to meet up in the center of camp in 5 minutes. When everyone arrived I finally told them the news.
There were some pretty diverse reactions. My favorite was one of my best friends in the hunt, Phoebe.
She had said, "All the things we could do to him. For a greater cause too! I wonder if Artemis would need us to teach him what it feels like to be tortured. Or if he needs to know how it feels to have his life like a living hell." There was a huge, evil grin slapped on her face. It was almost like mine when I saw the excitement in everyone's eyes at there so-to-be slave.
Then a question was heard above the others. One that was soon to be heard again and again, I just didn't know at the time.
"What is his name?"
"His name is Perseus Jackson."
Author's Note
Hi everybody! I haven't written anything on fanfiction for so long! I haven't had any ideas for my Riley Westla Goddess of Time story so I decided to make a new one. I love reading and rereading stories about Percy joining the hunt. So I decided to do my own take on it. One were Percy has only lived with the hunt so he doesn't have anything that is like super depressing about his past; like the one in Pluto's Daughter 11's Son of Vesta (even though I love it!) I wanted the only depressing part (so far?:P) to be his mother dying, which he wouldn't even know in this story that makes it less sad. Anyways, who do you want Percy to end up with? BTW the *= No one knows that Thalia is alive besides Zeus yet. PERCY IS NOT GOING TO BE TORTURED! THE HUNT THINKS HE WILL TURN OUT LIKE EVERY OTHER MAN BUT HE WONT SO THE HUNT WONT TORTURE HIM BUT LOVE HIM LIKE A BROTHER INSTEAD!
Choices:
Zoe
Annabeth
Thalia
Bianca (she'll be in this story)
Or other
FLAME ON!
