Hello, I'm dragonsong2795 and this is my first Percy Jackson and the Olympians Fanfiction, I'm answering a Challenge by whitetigerwolf which I'll paste below this Author Note, This is as I said my first PJO Fanfiction so I apologize in advance for any mistakes I make, Please Review If anything I have done doesn't make sense in this universe. For advanced Notice this Fic will NOT go into Heroes of Olympus but will go AU at that point.

Here is the challenge:

HUNTRESS CHALLENGE

This Idea popped into my head randomly. But I was reading some Pertemis fanfiction, where Artemis was contemplating turning someone into an animal, and I thought, if she can turn people into animals, what's to stop her from turning a guy into a girl? Hence this Challenge.

Requirements:

- Artemis turns Percy Jackson into a girl [Confirmed]

- Poseidon must hit on the female Percy, before he realizes that Percy is his...uh, son/daughter? (That's kinda confusing actually. Although, considering this is dealing with the Ancient Greek Gods, that wouldn't necessarily keep Poseidon from trying to get in a female Percy's pants not that I exactly like the idea, but I do feel I need to point that out.) [Rejected]

- Percy must spend some time with the Hunter's of Artemis [Confirmed]

- Percy must remain a girl for at least one-month [Permanent]

Recommended

- FemPercy/other girl, especially Artemis though. [Fem!Percy/Artemis/Annabeth]

- Percy remaining a girl and joining the Hunters of Artemis [Confirmed at end of TLO]

I'll not be doing a Poseidon/Fem!Percy moment as that makes me cringe, if he wasn't her father I'd not care but otherwise it's a little strange. Anyway here we go.

Chapter 1: A Goddess Is Way smarter than a Kid

Perseus 'Percy' Jackson never thought twice about the absolute stupid idea to run away from the cabin at Montauk into the forest, He thought about it for less than a second before running off into the woods. If he was lucky he wouldn't have any problems, if he was unlucky he would run into a bear or wolf. Too bad he had the worst luck of the millennium, for he ran into something that even monsters fear.

Artemis.

At first everything was alright, Percy smiles as he runs through the moonlit forest, unbeknownst to him was the fact that several Hellhounds had scented him and were following. He just reveled in the freedom to run without cars or buildings or people to make him stop and force him to slow down. Many people would have blamed this on either his Dyslexia or ADHD or Both, and they would have been wrong. It wasn't due to either of those things, it was a unique feeling that only Children of Poseidon were known to have, after all as Poseidon was known for saying "The Sea doesn't like to be restrained" and neither do it's children. For Percy was of the Ocean and the Tides, tonight however he would be changed for better or worse only the Fates would know.

Percy was enjoying himself as he runs through clearing after clearing, several of the Hellhounds following him had perished however when the Hunter of Artemis' scouting party discovered them. Now it was an ironic twist of fate, Percy was running unknowingly away from the Hellhounds who in turn were fleeing the Hunters.

Too bad for both the Hellhounds and Percy that what was ahead of them was either far worse then what they feared was chasing them or the worst nightmare of their gender.

Percy is running through the forest, he had seen one of the Hellhounds chasing him. He'd just come off of school a few days ago and his thought were thus 'Was that a Hellhound, I thought they were myths. Wait! If they aren't myths what else might not be a myth?' Unbelievably Percy had the highest grades in his history class as it had covered Greek Mythology and Percy took to it like a duck to water. Percy is looking over his shoulder, when he turns back however he notices the slightly strange young girl in his path. Before he can crash into her the girl sees him and in a display of amazing agility jumps right over him, Percy is so busy watching the girl he doesn't notice the tree coming up and therefore almost knocks himself unconscious. Sitting there dazed Percy watches as several of the Hellhounds come barreling out of the forest and seem to almost cower before the girl. Calmly as if she is not facing several large monsters the girl pulls a silver bow out of… Somewhere? And rapidly shoots the Hellhounds to death, when they die the Hellhounds collapse into strange gold dust that is blown away by an invisible wind.

Percy tries to crawl away in fear but before he can "Boy" cries out across the clearing, Percy flinches and turns to face the young girl who looks to be a year older than his eleven years of age. She appears to be quite angry. He doesn't know why but Percy follows his instinct and bows head to the ground in front of this strange girl, she looks shocked but also appreciative of the fact that the boy as she called him knows his place in the world.

Artemis was quite happy as she meditated in her clearing, she could feel Zoë watching from behind her with several other Huntresses, Artemis didn't say a word as their devotion was quite touching. Suddenly there was a rustling from the undergrowth to her right, Artemis turned to face it and suddenly a boy comes tearing out of the undergrowth obviously fleeing from something terrifying, she snickers quietly thinking that maybe he found a giant rat or something. As he is about to run into her Artemis jumps right over his head. Artemis then hears an "OWW" and the sound of someone running full speed into a tree, even though she hates men Artemis winces and the Hunters do the same. Artemis turns towards the undergrowth from where the boy came and then four Hellhounds come screaming out of the bushes. They halt in fear of her presence as they know they have no chance against a Goddess. She quickly raises her bow and slays them without difficulty. Artemis hears a slight scraping sound and turns to see the boy trying to crawl away 'Hmm, this boy seems to be somewhat intelligent, He's trying to get away while I am distracted. I'll give him that at least' Artemis then shakes her head wondering why this boy makes her want to get close and touch him. Strange. Artemis then shouts out "Boy" the boy stops and then quickly turns to face her before bowing head to the ground. Artemis smiles 'He seems to be more sub-servant then most males, or he has better survival instincts then most' Artemis was then in a quandary, normally any male who trespassed this close to the camp would be a Jackalope by now. But he is being polite and he did bring some wild beasts closer for them to hunt.

Artemis decides to be nice "Boy, I Artemis, am giving you 10 minutes to run before I chase you down and transform you into a Jackalope"

Percy thoughts were thus 'Artemis, Oh Crap Oh Crap, I'm dead I can't escape her, maybe I can make a deal, yeah that's the best idea for this situation' Percy looks up at Artemis and says "Not meaning to be rude Lady Artemis, but I can't run fast enough in ten minutes to escape you so the point is moot on whether I can escape or not. So instead I offer a deal, If you let me remain a Human Being I'll serve you in any manner that you desire, in my view it would be far better to be human and a slave then a Jackalope and free"

Artemis' lips quirk upwards in a smile, 'This boy is one of a kind, It's a shame he's a man I'd enjoy getting to know… him… Wait a minute his deal was that he remained human, it didn't say anything about remaining MALE. That's what I'll do, I'd really enjoy a handmaiden it's been so long since I've had one. I'll be even kind and wait till she's sixteen before tracking hi-her down and calling upon her side of the deal' The Hunters had closed in and were expecting Artemis to ignore this boy's request, so to theirs and Percy's surprise Artemis says "I accept your deal boy" Percy starts celebrating but then Artemis continues "It's too bad you didn't specify any further" Percy's eyes widen but before he can do anything he is engulfed in a blaze of silver light.

'Damn I should have known that a Goddess would find a loophole in my deal, I wonder what she meant… I feel different, slightly taller but more delicate. What did she do to me' Percy thought as she opens her eyes after being engulfed by the silver light for several minutes. Artemis is staring down at her with amusement on her face and the Hunters are torn between amusement and amazement at what had just happened. Percy realizes she's several inches taller than before and slightly skinnier then she was. Percy then says "What." she stops at the strange sound of her voice then continues "What did you do to me? Lady Artemis"

Artemis smiles and replies with "I took you up on your deal, but a male servant would be useless to the hunt and so I made you a girl" Percy's eyes bulge and Artemis continues with "I'll be kind and give you five years to get used to your new body, when you turn Sixteen I'll come for you. I realize I don't know your name"

Percy then mumbles "Perseus Jackson"

Artemis gives a lopsided smile and says "I'm afraid that you'll have to call yourself, Persephone Jackson from now on"

The newly named Persephone nods and turns to leave but before she can Artemis says "Before you go, I'll give you my blessing and a small charm bracelet that you are to keep on you at all times, Alright" Percy nods and Artemis puts her hand to Percy's head and gives the blessing, she then conjures a charm bracelet with Moon charms going all around it in the lunar cycle. Percy then runs back towards the cabin with far greater speed and grace then she had before. She only thought 'Maybe something good did come of this after all'

Before Percy makes it back to the cabin she stumbles onto a small inlet with a lovely little beach at the bottom, without thinking she walks down to the water's edge and puts her hand in the clear ocean water. The ocean which was slightly restless before suddenly goes completely still, all the waves on the small beach disappear. Percy jerks her hand back in shock when a man with Sea-Green eyes and Black hair walks out of the ocean completely dry and seemingly unbothered by the fact he should have drowned or at least been soaking wet. The man looks at her and says "I don't know who you are, but tell me. Why does your aura seem identical to my sons?"

Percy looks at the man confused and asks "What do you mean? Who is your son?"

The man looks sharply at Percy before he replies "You don't know? My son's name is Perseus Jackson"

Percy's heart races and she looks at the strange man in complete and total shock before she stammers out "D-d-dad?"

The man's eyes shoot wide open and he shouts "WHAT?"

Percy swallows due to her throat suddenly seeming dry like sandpaper before she says "You are my father? How, what, WHO are you?"

The man freezes before he says "You are Perseus Jackson?"

Percy nods and says "I was, I was Perseus Jackson till about five minutes ago. Now I guess my name's Persephone, at least that's what Lady Artemis suggested"

The man looks shocked before he asks "You've met Artemis and you aren't an Animal?"

Percy gives a hollow laugh and comments "Yeah I made a deal to remain human, too bad it backfired on me somewhat spectacularly. But you didn't answer my question, Who are you?"

The man sighs before crouching down next to Percy, He looks out over the ocean and says "My name's Poseidon, If you've met Artemis then you must have a good idea about the reality of Greek Mythology now days"

Percy snorts unladylike before she comments "Yeah, I now know that Greek Mythology didn't die out years ago and is still around, I don't know anything more specific. So my dad's Poseidon God of the Seas, Storm-Bringer, Earth-shaker and Father of Horses, I guess that would make me a Demigod or rather Demigoddess… I've notice something" Poseidon looks at Percy and goes "Hmm?" Percy continues "Now that I'm a girl I'm a lot smarter and can remember much more easily all of my schooling. Why is that?"

Poseidon laughs and says "That's actually Athena's fault, After it was revealed that Orion was a rapist and attempted to rape not only one of Artemis' Hunters but had also raped several of Athena's Priestesses, Athena cursed all sons of Poseidon to be born with a slowed intelligence and the inability to learn properly. You have Dyslexia and ADHD all Demigods or Demigoddesses do, but Athena enhanced both of them in my male offspring to a much higher level. Now that you are a woman you're no longer affected by this curse and will learn at the normal rate for a Child of Poseidon, which despite what Athena says isn't all that much lower than one of her children's rate of learning"

Percy quirks her head sideways and asks "Why only the male children?"

Poseidon sighs "Two reasons, One the curse was done to help Artemis who would never have forgiven Athena for cursing maidens and two, I very rarely have female children, In fact you are now the first Demigod Daughter of mine in recorded history"

Percy stares at him in disbelief before she faints from shock.

Poseidon sighs and then picks his daughter up, "I'm sorry Sally, It looks like she's come full circle"

"I know, I could sense Lady Artemis coming, But I never thought the call would affect Percy so much"

And That's the end.

Now I'm sorry for leaving you hanging with that ending but I just saw the perfect opportunity for it and went with it. Now I'm thinking of making Percy a Goddess later on for the story, I'm not going to do a poll but please leave review on whether you'd like Percy to A: Become a Goddess Pre-Lightning Thief, Post Titan's Curse, Post The Last Olympian or B:Not Become a Goddess. If you say you want her to be a Goddess What domains would you want her to have. I'm going to start a running list at the bottom of every final Author Note for the Story that will list her stats and what domains she has, I've already decided on five of them, but I'll happily add or remove a domain if reasons are given that are both logical and compelling.
