Hey readers, welcome back. There will never be an update schedule so be prepared for some random updates :D. Anyways, get ready for lots of OOC drama this chapter.

Chapter 2: Athena and Artemis

I hung there on the side of the building, processing what had just happened. The two-time saviour of Olympus, Percy Jackson, had just committed suicide and it was because of my daughter. MY daughter. With that thought, I flashed myself back up to Olympus, ready to knock some sense into my idiot of a daughter.

Athena began her march back to her palace where her daughter was still waiting for her to return.

"Annabeth, fucking, Chase! Do you realize just what you have just caused?" I yelled as I neared my palace and found the perpetrator of the most heinous crime a person can commit standing in the exact same spot I had left her.

She just looked at me blankly, clueless as to what I was calling her out on. I can't believe she was considered my most intelligent child, or a child of mine at all for that fact!

"What?" She asked like the idiot she was. It seemed as though she was trying to figure out what she'd done to anger me, but she was too dumb to realize that she could be recapping all of her actions. Not only actions before today. She really must have been the stupidest daughter I'd had in over a millennia. Unable to figure something as simple as this out, it's a miracle she survived all these years.

"Percy, your boyfriend, just jumped off of Olympus because of you! I hope you're proud of your actions you insolent brat. Just because I am your mother, does not mean I condone your filthy actions. If it wouldn't cause an even bigger uproar on Olympus, I would disown you this instant! Instead I shall have to make do with disgracing your entire reputation, the entire greek world will know that you are no child of mine. Get out my sight you disgusting wench.

"What? Why do you even care about what happens to him? You hate him, don't you? You know, the 'spawn of sea scum" Annabeth questioned rapidly. I guess that part about her asking questions came from my genes.

I frowned at that thought in disgust, but quickly got back to addressing the situation at hand. "Firstly, you do not insult a god, especially an Olympian at that. You could get killed got that. Secondly, I do not hate him, I simply disliked him at first due to his parentage but I had seen that he is not like his father. I actually respected him for his humbleness and modesty. He turned down immortality for you twice, who would have thought you were the one that would kill him." I laughed dryly at that. "I cared for his existence as he was the greatest demigod of the modern time, and probably all time, yet he did nothing to abuse that title. Now why are you still here you shitty fucking wench, make yourself scarce!" I roared, as I summoned my armour, spear and Aegis, my shield. I smiled sadistically as she slowly stepped back before turning around and bolting, leaving a huge puddle of her filthy piss behind as the only sign that she had been at my palace.

After she had finally left Olympus, I sighed as realization settled in. I would never see the boy alive again. I flashed my armour away and sent it back in to my pocket dimension along with my spear and Aegis, before heading back into my palace. I closed the door and changed in to my nightgown. A gray sleeveless dress that came down to my ankles. It was made out of a special silk-like material so that the wearer felt comfortable at all times.

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Athena?" A voice called from outside.

I smiled as I opened the door and let my best -and possibly my only- friend inside. She wore silver robes and a matching circlet on her head."Hey, Art, what's up?" I asked cheerfully, momentarily forgetting about what had just occurred just a few minutes ago.

She walked in with silent and precise steps, and closed the door after entering. She headed to the kitchen where we normally sat down to talk whenever she came over to my palace. I followed her to find she had already started attacking my no longer abundant chocolate stash. "Percy." She said quietly, swinging her legs from my counter top.

My lips trembled at the uttering of his name. Artemis' lips were also trembling, but her legs were shaking so much to had to pick her up and sit her down at the island I was sitting at. We sat there crying for a few moments before I picked Artemis, now in her 12 year old form, up and moved us to my bedroom. Upon arrival, I unceremoniously leapt into my bed with Artemis still curled up in my arms. "It's okay Artemis, everything is going to get better soon. I promise." It was an empty promise, and we both knew it. While we would never go as far as loving the boy, we were both maiden goddesses after all, he still carried our respect, something very few earned. It would have been nice to be able to at least form a friendship with the boy. He was someone everyone enjoyed being around, even Hades enjoyed his company for god's sake, how could we not. I realized my respect for him by the end of the Second Titan War, how could I not after he stuck with my daughter through an entire war. It was around that time when Artemis came to me confessing her respect for him. She had told me that from the first time she met him in Maine it was blatantly obvious he was different from everyone else. He, in a single quest, had managed to befriend the most hardened Hunter in her ranks. Zoe Nightshade, her name would forever be a legacy to the Hunters as a dedicated follower of Artemis, to the mortals the constellation of the Huntress, to Percy a good friend he would've given his life for. I also remembered the first time I met him, at the Hoover Dam where I offered him my assistance to save my oh so wonderful daughter. Just reminiscing at the good memories he engraved in everyone he met made me so angry. I wanted to kill my bitch of a daughter, tear her apart with my bare hands even. I would relish in spilling her blood across the floor.

"Athena, I know what you're thinking. As much as I would love to join you, we can't. You know that."

"Artemis do you even know what you're saying right now? She made the first man you respected in MILLENNIA kill himself, and you're just gonna let her get away scot free!"

"When did I ever say she was going to get off scot free? I just said you couldn't kill her, not that her reputation wouldn't be run through the dirt and her name a sin among the Greek world. Don't stoop to her level Athena. We've already witnessed one death, let's not add another to that list. Even if she is a massive bitch."

Artemis still in her 12 year old form, turned around in my lap to look me in the eyes. She held my gaze for only a few seconds before giving me as big a hug as she could with her small arms and cried once more into the crook of my neck. With my maternal instincts kicking in, I began to rub circles along her back hoping to soothe her. After a few minutes of us just sitting there, I layed back and positioned her on my chest where my left arm could hold her steady and my right arm could continue rubbing her back.

We stayed like that for a few hours, with the two of us just laying on my bed, her much smaller body on top of mine while I rubbed circles on her back. We stayed like that, trying to soothe each other through words and actions while also letting our tears pour out of our eyes. At some point we ended up falling to sleep, my top a much darker shade from what it was before on only two spots, and my pillow a much darker gray in a very similar fashion to my shirt.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I woke up to find the source of the annoying alarm I didn't remember setting to find I was passed out in my bedroom with a little, auburn haired, girl cuddling with me and drooling onto my blankets. Beside her was an alarm clock which resembled the moon. I reached over and switched it off before gently shaking her awake.

"Huh?" She asked as she got up groggily. Her hair was messy and she was half-asleep. I couldn't help but smile at how cute the twelve year old looked.

"Your alarm was going off." I said as she looked around to find the tiny object sitting on the floor. Suddenly, she got up, headed to the sink to splash some water on her face and headed out.

"Sorry Athena, but I need to get back to the Hunters and drive the moon now." She quickly explained before flashing away to her chariot.

Meanwhile, I sat down and looked over what had happened. From what I remember, after multiple hours of reminiscing and mourning, we had tired ourselves out and had fallen asleep in my bedroom. Now it was sunset, which further explained Artemis' sudden departure. I looked out my bedroom window to see all of Olympus basked in a misleading, serene, golden light.

'Better get ready for the funeral' I thought sadly as I entered my walk-in closet and looked for my black chiton.

Artemis POV

As much as I wanted to stay with Athena and continue to grieve, I was a goddess and as such, had duties to attend to. I quickly flashed to where I always parked my chariot, an empty meadow unseen by mortal eyes. There was beautiful green grass, it hurt seeing a color just a few shades lighter than his eyes, a pristine blue lake with a dense forest surrounding it all. In the center of it all were four, healthy, golden horned, stags. Yet, it all seemed gray to me now. It was as if there was no point in living out my immortal life any more.

Normally, I would just leave my chariot on autopilot and go to sleep alongside my hunters. But I needed some time alone right now to think. Plus there was no way I was getting any sleep soon, not with how recent his death had been. I attached the stags to my silver chariot and took to the skies, enjoying the wind that blew at my face.

Percy. The name filled Artemis with an emotion nobody dared associated with her. Deep respect, for a man. Even she didn't associate it with herself until he came along, turning her, along with countless other's worlds upside down.

What did you think of that guys? We know both of them are pretty OOC. It was also a little short but it portrayed their feelings regarding Percy's death, see you next update!
