Chapter 2 A moment in Bed and a Memory

Set and I laid curled up in bed all day, both of us not wanting to get out and I defently didn't want to go back to Olympus. Set was playing with my hair as I curled close to him, enjoying his skink against mine.

"You sure we can trust Artemis with our secret away from Zeus?" Set said. I lifted myself up a bit to look at him.

"Yes. She owes me that." I said.

"Why?" Set asked.

"Because I held a close secret from father of Artemis for all these centuries." I said.

Memory. (Close to 11 thousand centuries ago or so)

"Lady Athena. Artemis is here." Natalie, on of my handmaidens, said as I laid out on my thrown with a few month old Katra in my arms, playing with her and keeping her occupied. She was a joy to have around and my handmaidens adored her.

"Let her in, Natalie." I said, watching as Katra played in my lap.

"Sorry it took so long. Apollo wanted a feeding and I had to sleep to heal myself." Artmeis said as she came over. Katra got all excited and held out her arms for her mom.

"Its no problem. I don't mind helping out and if dad needs me. My handmaidens are always willing to help me." I said, handing Katra over to Artemis, who smiled happily.

"That's good as long as they keep the secret." Artemis said.

"They will." I said.

"I will send her again if I have to." Artemis said. I give a nod and Artemis disappeared.

End of Memory

I looked up at Set.

"Since I knew about Katra and helped Artemis, she knew she would owe me big time when I had a huge secret to keep from father." I said. Set pulled me into a kiss.

"Now I know we can trust her. Sorry. I don't trust that easily, but you earned my trust and Artemis will sooner or later with me.

"I know, love." I said, touching his face.

"But you will make a good mom in the future and I hope one day you will consider having a child with me down the road." Set said. I smile and kiss him, deeply which he returned the kiss.

"Yes. I would love to." I said.

"Good." Set said, rolling on top of me and our bodies became one again. I woke up to my father calling for me. I groaned.

"Not now father." I said.

"Yes now. This meeting is urgent. Get here in five minutes." Zeus said. If father meant it was urgent. It usually was. I got out of bed and flash on my blood red Goddess dress. Set sat up.

"What's wrong?" Set asked. I come over and kiss him.

"There's a urgent meeting on Olympus and it usually mean something is wrong. I'll be back when I can. I promise.

"If your not back here in a few days. I don't care what your father comes. I'll come to your chambers and find you." Set said. I knew he wasn't joking there.

"I know. I got to go. I love you." I said.

"I love you too. Now go." Set said, giving me one last kiss and I disappeared. I appeared sitting on my throne. Artemis gave me a knowing smile and I gave her the look to shut up.

"What do you want father to pull me away from my books." I said.

"Daimons are attacking Gods and Goddesses." Zeus said.

"WHAT?!" Artemis and I said at the same time. This cannot be good.

AN: I thought maybe Athena knew about Katra and protected the secret for Artemis. If you have an issue with it, deal with it, because its my story. Hope you liked.
