I don't own Percy Jackson or the Hero Of Olympus
Chapter 1 Family and the plan?
Percy POV.
"Hello Perseus."
"Good morning Lady Artemis. What are you doing here at camp?" I was slightly surprised to see Artemis here, she and her hunters were not supposed to be here for another few days, when Annabeth and I departed.
"My father demanded a few favors from me here at camp." She explained, rumbling was heard from above, probably angry about the demanding comment, but Artemis just rolled her molten silver eyes.
"If you have time would you like to go with me to the beach. I was already planning to go." I asked, pointing down the path.
"Yes, I would like that." She responded, Artemis and I have been closer lately than before and if I could venture a guess, closer than she ever gets to men, I felt proud of that fact.
We went to the beach it was a peaceful silence until Artemis spoke up, "Perseus have you already told Annabeth about your plan?"
"No, I want it to be a surprise for her." I replied, giving her a sly grin.
"And it will be a big surprise when she finds out." She sat down in the sand while I plopped down next to her. "I wish you the best of luck and if you need anything you can ask me."
"Really? I didn't think you would say that." She looked at me with those silver eyes to say 'why not?' "I mean because of the whole 'boy' thing." I added quickly, avoiding the 'jackalope' part of the conversation.
"You may be right…" She looked at the sea, "but you are not one of those idiotic boys that run around like fools."
"Thanks?" I don't know if she was complementing me or insulting my gender in a whole, but I won't push it.
"Good day Percy, I need to go. I hope to see you at archery."
Oh shit! Now I need to go to archery, I hope that Chiron isn't there.

The next day I went to archery and Artemis was teaching it. "Hello Artemis." Everyone looked at me because I didn't say 'Lady Artemis'. But she didn't seem to notice it. "So, you're teaching us now?"
"Yes Percy. And I hope you will hit the target this time instead of your teacher." Oh so she knew that I hit Chiron the first time and wasn't allowed to do it anymore. Heh, heh.
She is a good teacher though. She even got me to hit the target and that says a lot. After archery I went to my cabin that I shared with my brother, Mark. I have another brother Dylan but he got Hades to let him stay in the Hades cabin with Nico, at least until further notice; and I still don't know how he did it. But he's happy there so I don't question it, I just wish that I could stay there because Mark is a git. He even said that I needed to throw away the moonlace that Calypso gave to me when I left Ogygia. The moonlace grows fast, so I grew one here from the one from my mom's apartment. There were even some in front of the cabin at one point but Mark destroyed them by not looking where he where was going. Luckily I could save a few though and put them in front of the Artemis Cabin and they are truly beautiful. Even the hunters say so. The Demeter cabin, or more precise, Katie, take care of the flower when I can't or when the hunters don't want me around their cabin but I am fine with that as long as I can see them glow at night just like the cabin itself. And I had half the mind to ask her to look after my single flower in my cabin while I was gone. But I decided to make Nico and Dylan do it and they already said yes so I can't change my mind.

The days went fast and before I realized it was the day before that Annabeth and I were planning to go to Greece but she still didn't now it. So I give the plant to Nico to take care of it. Dylan was not there. He got a quest from Hades to do Hades knows what.
"So Percy you leaving tomorrow. Are you planning to wait till Thals got here?"
"Yes Nikki I am planning to wait until she got here and then we are leaving." I saw Artemis go walk this way and I think to wait because I want to ask here something.
"Don't call me that" Nico whined, it was funny to see him act so childish, and the look on his face was priceless.
"Call you what?" Artemis' voice said from behind him, he stood up a little straighter, he was still wary of being turned into some animal, just like his fear of being turned into a plant.
"Nothing, lady Artemis." Nico replied.
"He means that I am not allowed to call him Nikki" she smirked at that and Nico grumbled. "But Artemis I was wondering if I could see you tomorrow, I have something for you, Nikki and Thals."
"Sure I'll see you off. I hope the ship is ready."
"Yes she is ready. So see you then. Bye." I left, leaving behind a smiling Artemis and a glaring Nico. But I didn't know that when I got to the beach, nothing would be the same.
