Hate washed over me. Hate so strong that it threatened to cloud my mind over and drown out reason. With difficulty, I
swallowed it down. Instead of lunging at her, I rose to my feet, coming to stand next to my twin brother. Hera's dark eyes
came to rest on me and a scowl twisted her beautiful features. "I see you have finally found you precious daughter. What
do you plan to do with it?" She spoke to Lord Zeus but her eyes never left mine. He sighed, he momentarily closed his
eyes. When he opened them again, his ancient grey eyes found Hermes. "Will you acquaint her with Olympus once again?" He
turned to me, "Olympus has had quite an upgrade." Hermes stood up and made his way towards me but before he
reached me, a muscular arm wrapped around my waist and Ares voice said. "I'd love to show her around! Come,
Artemis," and I was towed out after the brute.

I could feel Hera's cold gaze drilling into the back of my head as I left the room.

The moment we stepped into the hallway I attacked. I slipped out of Ares' hold and shoved him against the wall. With
practiced ease I slid my dagger from the holster and pressed it against his neck. "I am leaving now. You will not try to
stop me, will you?" He shrugged, "I probably will. Can't have my beloved getting away." His fist snaked towards my
nose but I had anticipated his violence. I ducked his swing and stabbed the dagger into the edge of his leather jacket. Then, I
darted away, heading for the forest of trees on Olympus. Ares' curse and was followed by a loud ripping sound and then heavy
footfalls that soon begin to fade away. When I reached the bright foliage I slowed to a walk, even though I was safe. Safe in
my forest, free to teleport away.

My senses of nature saved me. A bird gave a cry of warning, something I had never received. In an instant I knew that
something was wrong. I spun around, summoning my bow and notching it with lightening speed, at the same time I
shifted into a one-legged crouch. My bow was trained on Athena. Unfortunately that meant Apollo and Ares were free to
attack.

Artemis had gotten away. Again. She darted away so fast there was no chance of catching up. I looked up in time to see
Athena and Apollo reach the bottom of the steps that lead to the Throne Room. Athena saw me first. "You just can't keep
a hold of her, can you?" She laughed. Her war spear and Aegis shimmered into existence and she ran into the forest,
Apollo hot on her heels. I sighed and followed.

We found Artemis, walking and looking at the surrounding foliage, unfortunately she knew we had found her. Artemis
spun so fast, her black hair whipping out, that we had no time to react. I glowered at her. Her silvery gaze flickered to
me, but her arrow remained unwavering. As always, I was stunned at her luminescent eyes. They were a brilliant green,
flecked with silver, her eyes always seemed to glow with an inner light. When she spoke her voice was a soft melody,
tinged with danger and pain. "Why will you not let me be!?"

Athena stepped forwards. "Artemis, I swear I will never allow Hera to beat you ever again, neither will Apollo. We will
protect you. We love you!" Athena's voice was a tool. It was confident and prodding, it forced you to make decisions you
didn't want to make, and coupled with her brains, she could convince any mortal to go to the Underworld and high-five
Hades. Once again, she looked at me. I was leaning against the trunk of a tree with crossed arms, calmly taking
everything in. Artemis sighed and lowered her bow but kept the arrow notched. "Very well..."

Athena sent the two gods away. They had not walked 5 paces before they began bickering like a pair of spoilt 8
year-olds. I rolled my eyes and then the goddess of wisdom led me through the palace, coming a stand-still outside of a dark blue door, the color of
midnight. The word ' Αρτεμις ' engraved on it in silver. My name. Underneath my name was another engraving, this
time of a silver stag. I knew this was my room instantly. On instinct I stepped up to the door and placed my palm flat
against the smooth surface. The door swung inwards, beckoning me into my room.

My room looked exactly as I had left it. My bed still made, my clothes on racks and my books neatly aligned. Rows of
knives lined the wall opposite my bed and a hook for my bow was embedded in the wall. The door to my balcony was
closed but it still gave a clear view of the path the moon takes as it rises. Which reminds me, "Will I be raising the moon
tonight?" Athena shook her head. "Father has Selene raising the moon until you have once again settled into Olympus." I
nodded. It made sense but that didn't make me any happier. I still missed my duties with the moon.

Once again I turned to Athena. "I must contact my Hunters, they will be expecting me." Athena grinned, she knew what I
was trying to do. "Hermes has already told them the events of today. There's no way, sister." Her grin turned evil, "You
shall dine with the entire family!"

I love Artemis and Ares! Ares hasn't been very violent in these chapter so I will have to fix that quite soon.

Oh, and thanks to DarkPriestessOfHyrule for my very first review.
