Unknown POV
"Well this is certainly the best possible outcome that I could have hopped for" I watched from above as the goddess fell towards the concrete forest below. I could see from what is now my chariot her godly essence flow out of her body and into my own as her figure dissapeared into the city. I couldn't help but crack a smile as the last of her essence flowed into me. Then remembering the look of pure terror on her silver eyes just moments ago I looked away and 'assumed the role' that was going to be mine from now on.
Artemis' POV exactly 1 minute ago
Before me stood what seemed to be a mass of meat and bones that changed shape every few seconds becoming more humanlike every second that passed, of course I would normally have already kicked it out of my moon chariot had I not felt like my very energy was being drained out of me as the mass crept closer. In mere moments I was on the floor of my chariot struggling to keep my eyes open and my mind active trying to figure out how to get out of this situation. As I stared at the mass it was now an eerily similar shape to my own exept that it didnt have my own set of silver eyes but two glowing black orbs that felt like they were absorbing my very energy. Slowly it dragged its feet towards me as if it was not used to walking its hands shot out and grabbed me by the neck and in one motion it threw me out of my own chariot. My mind was racing as I tries flashing to safety but I didn't seem to be able to but that was when I realized what had happened that thing up there had somehow robbed me of my godly essence. This however led me to panic even more than I already was my mind now racing to find a way to survive this fall into the city below as the ground below me came closer my pulse kept rising my mind in overdrive as I suddenly blacked out.
Line Break
I opened my eyes to see a roof over me and I looked around the movement making my entire spine flare up in pain. I was in a room surveying my surroundings I saw a night stand directly beside me on it a simple alarm clock that read 3:39 pm. Great so Ive been out for at least 12 hours, I looked beside the clock and into a photo of a boy that looked like he was 9 years old or so with raven black hair and sea green eyes that held what was an unnatural amount of happyness and joyful mirth in them but he was still a child so that shouldn't be surprising besides the boy there was a woman with blue eyes and black hair similar to the boy's that extended over her shoulders her eyes held deep sorrow in them which was a strange contrast to what I assume is her son's eyes that seemed to hold never ending joy. I was distracted from my inspection of the photo as the door opened and in walked a teenaged boy that I concluded was the same as the one in the picture going bt his black hair and sea green eyes but they were different where as before they were pools of never ending joy now they seemed to be a mere hollow of what they were as now the happines in them seemed to be muffled by stress and the dark bags under them seemed to prove it, he was wearing a black hoodie with a seagreen t-shirt and blue jeans. The boy quickly pulled a chair through the door and set it beside me promptly sitting on it and looking and me for the first time since he opened the door a look of surprise adorning his face and some of the muffled happiness coming back to his eyes. Then as quickly as he noticed me awake I asked him a question I needed answered as soon as possible. "Where am I?" the question came out a bit more aggresive then what I wanted it to, he sat there and answered as I went into a sitting position on the bed I was laying on. "Well you are currently in my mom's appartment, you have been here for the last two days after you fell from the sky and into the public pool where I quickly rushed you over here after I pulled you out of the pool." I quickly analyzed the words comming out of his mouth before barraging him with more questions. "Who are you? Why bring me here? a-" my voice cracked as I felt my throat being extremely dry, the boy seemed to notice and quickly held out a glass of water that I assumed was his but ignoring that I took it and drunk from it relishing the feeling of having the cold liquid hydrate my body before setting the glass on the nightstand and looking back at him his face decorated with a loopsided grin as he answered the questions I managed to get out. "Well I am sixteen years old, my name is Percy Jackson and I like the beach, I brought you here because it seemed like the best option as you surprisingly weren't wounded and I didn't think you'd rather wake up in a bed where it would take longer for you to get the answers to all of the questions that are flying around in your head. Now it's your turn" I tilted my head to the side not getting what he meant at the end before he cleared it up for me after a moment of awkward silence. "I meant who are you?" My eyes then widened at noticing how utterly stupid I had just been before answering giving the least amount of information as possible. "I am twelve years old and my name is Artemis." Normally you'd expect for someone to take what I just said at face value but the bo- Percy over here just raised an eyebrow and muttered something under his breath which caused me to raise an eyebrow back and ask with an edge in my tone to signal him to be careful seeing as I don't want to beat the living daylights out of the boy infront of me. "What did you just say to me?" He answered rather faster than expected. "I said you dont exactly look twelve to me, you look more around my age." he then promptly took a hand mirror and held it up to me in which I noticed that I did indeed look around 16 years old. "Sorry my mind is a bit jumbled right now, could we go somewhere else to talk I dont exactly feel comfortable in here." I sadly had to excuse myself to Percy as I tried to stand up but my legs failed me and I ended up falling only to be caught by Percy in which he quickly shifted my position so I was now being carried bridal style causing me to glare at him dangerously but he just brushed it off carrying me through the hall and into the dining room of what was a rather small appartment and him placing me in one of the chairs of the wooden table that was the only piece of furniting in the room besides the other three chairs excluding the one I was sitting on. At this point in time I was more confused than normal as I looked around me and noticed Percy was no longer in the room he seemed to have gone so I started thinking on how to escape seeing as I felt unnaturally weak I could barely move and I didnt know how to get out of the appartment, panic slowly set in but I was distracted by the sound of footsteps coming back into the room and a woman that I recognized as the one in the photo sat across from me her face decorated with stress lines and her eyes filled with curiosity as she placed a bowl of spaghetti and meat balls infront of me with a fork and a white envelope with nothing written but my name on it. I promptly looked up at the woman infront of me about to speak but was interrupted as Percy walked in with two bowls placing one infront of what I assume is his mother and sitting on the table before starting to eat from his own bowl before looking up and frowning. "You should eat, its good for your health y'now." he then went back to focusing on his food before I could say anything and I just stared st him before staring back at the woman when she spoke. "That envelope arrived some time after Percy here brought you, we assumed its adressed to you so we haven't opened it." I took and opened the envelope taking out its contents and staring at them with wide eyes, what I held in my hands was all of the legal documentation a mortal would have in the United States before comming to the last paper that said that explained all I needed to know. The paper had a blank space in which my legal guardian would have to sign to officialy claim me as theirs. I had my suspicions as to why I was holding these papers but I didnt know what to do with them before I held out the last paper to the woman as a single tear trailed down my cheek.
Sally POV
When the girl I assumed is Artemis held out that paper to me I was surprised as to why she would hold it out to me, until I held it and read through it. I was quite surprised at what this paper entails, as far as I was aware of the girl infront of me was quite shocked but kept her cool rather well infact she's been taking this wake up in an unknown place rather well. I made my mind up when I looked at her dull silver eyes that had tears slowly falling from them as if she didn't wish to show weakness infront of what we both knew would be something that would change her life. "If you would accept us, I will not deny this but I expect you to behave so that we can live together peacefully." to say the girl was relieved would be an understatement infact she looked quite happy as tears stopped rolling down her face and a small smile now adorned it. "My name is Sally Jackson and now we have some things to talk about alright?"
Percy's POV
To say that I was confused beyond believe would be quite accurate as I watched the scene unfold infront of me of my mother and what I believe is what I'd say is the most beautiful person I've ever layed my eyes on. You could say its better to stay quiet as the two people infront of me had a discussion that seemed would affect all of our futures drastically. I had other plans and spoke up. "What's going on here?" my mother snapped her sight to me and the words that came out of her mouth left me dumbstruck. "Percy I'd like you to meet Artemis she is going to be staying with us from now on." I answered with the genius that is my vocabulary. "Huh?" after that the two figures infront of me chuckled much to my embarrasment as I felt warmth go up my neck and into my cheeks. After getting my embarrasment under control I stared at Artemis and simply said "Welcome to the family."
A/N:
Hello there my fellow readers. This is my first fic and I dont know how to write an A/N so bear with me here as I explain what's going to be the premise of the story.
This is obviously an AU in which Artemis is stripped of her godly nature, domains and immortality so she's now forced to live with the Jacksons or be left to the streets. How will she manage life as a mortal you shall see if you keep on reading
