So a lot of people liked the last chapter. I had over 10 reviews! That's not a ton for some but for me that's awesome! I had a lot of comments about how it needed to be longer so I'll try!

Chapter 4

I appeared outside the boundaries of the Huntress' camp they had laid out tonight. I was feeling fine until the right side of my face started hurting. It felt as though hot iron blades were being drug across very slowly. I nearly fell over from the pain but a voice in my head kept me steady.

"I'm sorry Percy. I can't control this side of me right now. Normally the pain doesn't sink through our link but I'm worthless at the moment." Tidus said as he tried to pull the pain back into his own body. I pulled back on the pain.

"I'd rather share your pain for a few minutes than have you feel this pain all by yourself Tidus." I knew he would reject but I glared at the ring on my finger. I almost dared him to do it again. "Tidus, we are almost to Artemis just hang on." After saying this, my speed went double. I was walking but if I were human I'd be at running speed.

One of the hunters spotted me and drew her bow but did not release the arrow as she saw nothing. I had literally disappeared. I really did not want to deal with a sexist huntress tonight but I had no choice. However, I could avoid Artemis' little minions.

That's when I spotted the auburn haired silver eyed twelve years old. Since she was appearing young to fit in I did the same. I changed so I looked exactly the same as I did when I found out I was a demigod. I walked over to Artemis and as I did became visible.

Her back was towards me and as I walking I got to look at the goddess. Again, she was in her twelve years old version so she was 'hot' or 'sexy' but she was pretty, flawless, in a way. Her auburn hair glowed in the fire light and as I approached I could see the definition in her muscles. She may have been twelve but you could see that she was 'in-shape'. I could see her calf muscles in the light and noticed right away that she ran a lot.

I was going to 'inspect' further when a silver wolf pup jumped in front of me. It was about knee high and even for a twelve year old it was tiny. Artemis turned when she heard the 'growling' which sounded more like a whine.

When she saw me it was mixture of facial expression. One moment it was annoyance that a male would show his face in her camp. It changed to amusement which I did not understand. Maybe again it was that a male had dared to enter her camp. A male god no less.

She grew into a teenager before my very eyes. During our training Artemis has always been smaller than me but at the moment she towered over me like an apartment compared to the Empire State Building. Realizing I was still 'twelve' I changed back into my Greek form which was really just a grown up version of Percy Jackson.

If I was still human I would be twenty one so I changed to that. I still had my shaggy, unmanageable, raven black hair. A 5 o'clock shadow appeared on my face. I didn't normally like facial hair but my Roman version had grown on me. I'd probably just keep it for a few days then try something else.

I am around 6'2" tall or 189 centimeters tall for all the demigods who are not American out there. I am well-muscled but sadly I am nothing compared to the goddess in front of me.

Every inch of her was long, lean, firm muscle. Her face was a thing of beauty and her eyes sparkled and danced as the flames reflected off them. Then her face went sad again, to angry. O crap I'm staring at her!

I quickly looked at my hand which thankfully had a distraction available. She was about to speak from what it sounded like but I interrupted her without paying attention.

"ARTEMIS! Tidus is hurt!"

Any effect of anger was gone instantly as she was already at my hand coaxing the wolf out of the ring.

"Come on out my dear. I will heal you." She said in a soft voice a mother would use to a child. This was funny to me because she'll never have children besides her Huntress.' I knew she was touching my hand out of instinct in order to get Tidus to be comfortable. She forgot however that he couldn't feel her but I sure could.

Her hands were soft but hard, calloused yet gentle. She stood an even 5'8" or 177 centimeters so I had some height on her but when she held my hand I was under her complete control. It is sad and a bit morbid but I am pretty sure I would have jumped off of any bridge in order to continue holding that hand.

Do not see me as a pervert, womanizer, or an adulterer. I cared for Clarisse, Arie, and Hestia but this was Artemis. The goddess of virginity. Hestia too, was pure as the day she was birthed but Artemis was different about her purity. Again depressing and kind of twisted to think about but it is a prize to win a goddess' favor as a man. Even more so the maiden goddess' (like Athena) and Artemis is basically queen of the maidens.

So to capture Artemis' heart is a prize tripled…Is it weird that I'm thinking all this by her just holding my hand?

"Percy? Is it safe to come out or am I in the way of your hormones?" Tidussaid in his annoying and sarcastic voice.

"Oh shut up."

Slowly he emerged from the ring. Something was off about him. His fur was not its shiny silver like the moon. Instead it was the same dull grey of pencil graphite. He was this color except for the red. Well, technically that was blood.

"Percy! What happened?" Artemis and I turned to see Thalia. Besides Artemis Thalia was the only huntress that I actually respected. Essentially it was the whole 'Artemis would be mad' that kept me from toasting all the other hunters.

Artemis spoke, "Yes Perseus, please tell us what happened." She began lightly chanting and as she did silver light came from her hands that she held over Tidus. I began telling my story after she finished using her healing power. Then, as she and Thalia wrapped up Tidus' wounds I began my story.

I told them how Tidus was defending me and attacked Lupa. Thalia, with the Romans' no longer a secret had found her long lost little brother. She did not say it but I think she blamed Lupa for her brother's disappearance.

"F***ING WOLF!" Thalia yelled as she slammed her fist into the ground. (Well I think it's safe to say she did blame Lupa)

Artemis who had been randomly using her healing powers to heal Tidus was brushing his fur. Tidus had fallen asleep some time ago but his dreams were of Artemis and the wolves of the hunt. Looks like I'm not the only one…well about Artemis anyway. I'm not really into bestiality.

"Thalia," the moon goddess said in a very tired voice. "Either control your anger or leave. I have neither the energy nor the will to put up with your nonsense."

Thalia was one of toughest women I knew and she looked like she'd been slapped but she kept quiet.

Artemis then shifted her gaze to me and smiled slightly, "Perseus, he is doing better, however, please leave him with me for a few days. He is fighting a fever and I'd rather Tidus be here than you lose him trying to find us if his fever worsens."

She had a valid point.

I didn't like it but it was true. That's when I thought of something that would've made Athena and Annabeth smile.

I looked at Tidus my companion and best friend, my conscience in a way, my protector and knew I had to do it. "Okay Artemis. But I have a request."

Artemis looked relieved slightly but her eyebrow twitched probably from having to do something for a man.

I smiled at the maiden goddess, "No need to get hostile. All I wish is that I may stay with him."

Thalia actually snorted in laughter.

The goddess who was holding back a laugh but smiling broadly said, "And why would we allow you, a male, for the first time ever join the hunt?"

I looked at my wolf and smiled, "Either that or a date with every single one of the hunters here."

The laughter and smiles disappeared.

Artemis glared at me, "Perseus, the point of the hunters being maiden and swearing off men is to keep them from harm, why would I force them to date a god?"

I smiled because she had fallen for my plan, "well then I guess I get to stay."

Thalia saw my smile and her eyes narrowed, "Lady Artemis, if I may?"

Thalia walked away from Tidus and straight towards me. Looking deep into my eyes she glared. Not to be intimidated by her I stood my ground and glared back.

"Lady Artemis I think we should agree to the other choice. Think about it, a date with kelp head here would turn any girl off from guys. Plus remember when Chloe was getting the girls riled up about guys last week asking everyone questions. Well this is our answer."

I couldn't believe my ears; Thalia had gone against Artemis and to date a guy…WHOA!

Artemis looked as shocked as I did but quickly regained her composure. "Thalia he said every hunter, meaning you as well." She looked smug thinking she had won.

Thalia just flinched slightly. "Don't worry, I can handle seaweed head. So can our other hunters." Thalia finished beaming thinking she had won.

I walked over to Tidus and squatted next to him. "Hey buddy, sorry to interrupt sleep. How are you?"

If a wolf could smile he did so.

"I'm fine. Next time she'll be toast, that's for sure."

I chuckled; leave it to a male to be stubborn.

"Alright, good night buddy."

I got from my squat that I had been in and walked to Artemis and Thalia.

"What have we decided ladies? Can I stay or not."

They looked at each other then said together, "Nope."

Well it was a plan that Annabeth and Athena would have been proud of. I glared at Thalia, curse her for trying to 'win' and not just see I care about my friend.

"And Percy," Thalia said laughing, "I'm first."

That's when I laughed, "Actually I am choosing. And I choose Chloe first. You'll be second to last Thalia."

Thalia glared but Artemis stepped in and answered smugly, "And who is last?"

I started to walk away when I said over my shoulder, "Well I did say all the hunters present and Artemis is a huntress. So Artemis you'll be last."

Then before they could answer I disappeared in a sea mist.

So what'd you think? Let me know and review! If you guys have ideas for names of hunters that'd be cool too. Also where should Artemis and Percy go?

Review!

Thanks!
