A/N Sorry it took so long to update my inspiration went on a short vacation. But now it returned. Hooray! Reviewers thank you for reviewing I loved all of them. So this chapter is dedicated to my reviewers.
Disclaimer: I own nothing Rick Riordan owns everything.
Artemis's POV
They arrived at Half-Blood Hill and walked hand and hand to the fair by the lake. My Hunters were invited to the fair too. Thalia had led them here. I saw Phoebe beating up an Ares boy. I knew I should break it up.
"Hey Perce I need to break that fight up wait for me ok?" I asked Percy.
"Ok Arty love you." Percy whispered softly.
I beamed at those four simple words so simple but made my heart soar." Love you too Perce be back soon. I whispered back then gave him a quick kiss, which turned into a rather long kiss, after about five minutes of floating I parted regretfully." Percy I need to save an Ares kid I will be right back." I told him then raced down to Phoebe and the Ares boy.
Annabeth's POV
"I saw my ex boyfriend Percy yes! I regretted breaking up with him. Let's see if I convince him to come back to me." I thought. I ran up to him." Hey Seaweed Brain how's life?" I said getting close to him.
He took a step back." Good Annabeth I have a new girlfriend." He nervously blurted out.
"What we broke up like three months ago and he already has a new girlfriend? Calm down Annabeth! Just flirt steal him away from whoever it is. He only became a god because I dumped him. He loves me! "I thought." I guess I will have to steal you away Seaweed Brain." Taking a step towards him and putting my arms around his neck.
He stepped back and unwound my arms from his neck." A A A Arty!" He shouted/stuttered.
I stopped confused." Who in Hades is Arty?"
A girl raced over and stopped next to him. She gave me a look of disgust and contempt and gave Percy a quick kiss. I felt my heart break and anger blossom l inside me." Who is this bitch to steal my Percy?" I didn't realize that I said this out loud.
The girl who looked sixteen and had auburn hair and silver eyes looked at me with mild anger but Percy looked furious." He glared at me." Don't talk about Arty like that! Arty is wonderful and amazing and definitely not a bitch! And I never belonged to you Annabeth I have only and will only belong to Arty." Percy ranted then gave this "Arty" a look of love and adoration that I never got. "Arty" gave Percy a similar look of love and adoration. Jealous and anger roared inside me. Making everything I see tinted with red. "Arty" then reach up and kissed MY Percy!
"Get off him you ugly bitch, Percy deserves better then you! Who do you think you are?" I screamed at "Arty" pushed them apart and tried to punch "Arty".
She just calmly grabbed my fist and stopped me. Percy looked murderous though and in a flash he had a hand on Riptide in pen form. "Arty's" hand that wasn't holding my fist gently caressed Percy's hand rubbing her thumb across the back of his hand keeping it from uncapping Riptide. Then she answered my question." I am Artemis Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt." She said and then released my fist but still continued caressing Percy's hand.
"Did I just serious try to hit a goddess? Y y y you can't be Artemis she hates men and is a maiden. I protest praying that I hadn't angered another god or goddess."
"I do hate most men almost all men in fact except for Percy and I got out of my Maiden Vow earlier today." Artemis explained calmly while cuddling into Percy's chest.
"So you are really Artemis the goddess Artemis?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes child I am Artemis." Artemis simply said.
"Correction you are My Arty. Percy put in. Okay let's start this over again Annabeth Chase this is Artemis my love, He stopped to give Artemis a quick kiss, and goddess of the Hunt and the Moon. Arty this Annabeth Chase my ex girlfriend."
"I sighed regretfully. I wished with all my heart that the ex girlfriend part wasn't true. I was still so furious at Artemis." I thought sadly.
Artemis gave me a polite nod. Thalia came up to us." Hey Annabeth, Artemis, and Percy I trust your visit to a certain love goddess turned out favorably Milady?" Thalia finished with a smirk and a mischievous look in her eyes.
"What's that about? Love goddess?" I wondered to myself curious." A faint hope stirring inside me, maybe Percy's love wasn't real!"
Artemis blushed but nodded." Yes thank you Thalia for your advice, come on Percy I want to go on the Ferris wheel. They walked away in the direction of the Ferris wheel.
I turned to Thalia hopefully." Thals what did you mean? Did Artemis make Aphrodite force Percy fall in love with her?"
"No Annabeth Artemis really loves Percy and Percy really loves Artemis. Aphrodite just informed Artemis that Percy did love her." Thalia explained calmly.
I felt my hope withering within me. "But Thals I love Percy. He can't be with Artemis. I love him!" I exclaimed.
"You have no right to love Percy, Annabeth. You broke his heart. I saw him after you broke up with him. He was terrible I know I don't express it a lot. But I love my cousin and you're breaking up with him made me want to protect him from getting his heart broken again. I know Artemis will never hurt him intentionally as I know he will never hurt her intentionally. I used to think you and Percy were perfect but now I know how really perfect Artemis and Percy are. I am sorry Annabeth but they are perfect." Thalia finished her speech both sternly and sympathetic.
"Thals I love him! We are perfect together. Artemis doesn't deserve him." I cried.
In a second a knife was at my throat." Careful Annabeth I am Artemis's Lieutenant and I am a Hunter of Artemis, I will not allow you to insult my mistress."
"I meant Artemis no offense. I said quickly. I just love Percy Thals. What am I suppose to do? Suddenly like Athena was smiling on me. I got the best idea ever. It was guaranteed to let me have Percy back. I just needed my cabin mates and a little help from a certain goddess. After all a little wisdom and strategy can bring down even the gods. I thought evilly"
A/N Cliffhanger! What is Annabeth's idea? Can Annabeth win back Percy? Or will love prevail? Which goddess does Annabeth mean? Hera? Athena? Aphrodite? Demeter? Iris? Or maybe another? If you want an immortal, monster, or mortal to be involved in this story I will try to have them appear in the story if possible. As always review and tell me what you think.
