Hi guys! So here is chapter 2 of This Love, This Hate. Hope you enjoy it and the rest of the chapters to follow (maybe 2 or 3 more?) so here it is!
Lost
Artemis and her Hunters refused to stop searching for Apollo even though their own father had given up and suggested they stop too. Although the situation seemed dire they persisted and knew that Apollo could be found and that they would be able to find him - no matter what the other gods and goddess' thought!
'Milady, can we rest for awhile? It's around lunch anyway.' Thalia asked her goddess. Artemis nodded almost immediately.
'I'll be in the forest if you need me.' she said before striding out of the clearing. Thalia sighed. Artemis had been distant lately, with her everlasting guilt and sadness.

Artemis strode through the forest, her mind wandering into distant memories of her and her brother. She sighed.
'Oh Apollo..Where have you hidden yourself? Why won't you let me apologize?' She thought miserably. Several woodland creatures had sensed their mistress's distress and began nudging her and licking her cheek. Artemis smiled at them and petted their heads.
'Thank you..' she murmured to them, glad to have some comfort in her time of need. Although her Hunters were doing their best, none of them understood what she was going through. Except maybe Thalia with Nico and Percy but they were cousins and however small it may be, there was a difference. She sighed once more.
'Apollo.. I miss you.' she whispered and although it seemed silly she hoped the wind would carry her voice to him.

'Apollo.. I miss you.'
Apollo blinked. That voice.. It sounded like Artemis.. No! Artemis hated him! She wouldn't say those things if she hated him! But... He shook his head to clear the thought. He was over thinking this. It was his imagination making things up to make him feel better. Yeah, that was it. He bit his lip. Was he making this up? Did Arty miss him? He doubted it.

Artemis returned to her Hunters and was greeted by Thalia.
'Good afternoon Milady. Have a nice walk?' she asked with a smile. Artemis nodded, as much as she hated lying to her lieutenant - her best friend since Zoe she didn't want to worry her.
'Yes, is everyone ready to move?' she questioned. The girls nodded picking up their bows and putting out the fire they'd made. The Hunters followed their Goddess through the forest. Although they doubted to find him here, it was possible to find him on the otherside of the forest . Once they'd crossed the forest, Artemis asked her Uncle Poseidon for permission to travel by boat. Once granted access, they took a boat and traveled across the sea.
'L-Lady Artemis?' asked one of the new girls.
'Yes Kylie?' Artemis answered, turning to her.
'D-Do you know where were going?' she asked shyly. Artemis seemed to tense. She'd forgotten. She had no way of knowing where they were going.
'Milady?' Thalia asked her voice sounding slightly fearful.
'I'm afraid I have no idea where we are.' Artemis admitted. After hearing those words, Thalia couldn't help but wish that Percy was here to help them but after rethinking that she quickly banished the thought, she didn't need his help! Well actually.. Right now, it would be kind o useful - not that she'd ever admit that. Artemis bit her lip. They were now officially lost and to make matters worse - in another Gods domain.

So here is chapter 2! I'm pretty proud of this and my big (ish) words. Hope you enjoyed it! This would've taken awhile to write and publish but after two really nice reviews I felt like I needed to write something! So thanks ro781727 and cutedivaprincess for the reviews! And I apologize for the shortness of the chapters. The writing thing I use doesn't have word count and it looks bigger then it actually is so..yeah.
See you guys next time!
Minishia x
