Artemis Pov (Bout time)
It's been about a week since Percy's death. It's been a week since I've actually done any hunting. I mope around, depressed, and when I'm alone, I find myself crying. I can't explain it. It's almost like there's a hole in my chest. An empty void of endlessness and emptiness. It's been a week since I've seen his beau- STOP IT! Your a maiden for Olympus's sake.
I got up and walked out of my hunting tent. All the hunters were asleep except for Thalia. She looked at me and I nodded my head. She then when to each tent and started to wake the others. I sat down on the side of a bench by the remnants of the campfire and watched the embers float into the sky and disappear. I suddenly feel the weight of the bench shift and look to my right, it was Thalia.
"My lady, what's wrong? You've stayed in your tent almost all day everyday unless you've been called to Olympus." She asked worriedly as she tilted her head like a dog.
"It's nothing, Thalia" I replied a little too quickly, turning my head so she wouldn't catch my lie.
She turned toward me, swinging her left leg over the bench so she was facing me. "It's Percy, isn't it." She whispered so the other hunters didn't hear.
"I-I-I don't know what your talking about." I managed to stammer out. I don't know how she did but she read me like an open book. I know she's my half sister but does she know me that well.
Thalia sighed and swung her leg back over the bench and faced the fire again. "He has that kind of personality to make your views of people change, doesn't he." She said
"No, men are all the same. He would've betrayed someone eventually." I said stubbornly. I knew he wouldn't really do that.
"Whatever, the funeral is tomorrow, right?" She asked, not bothering to argue her point.
"Yes, it is." I still can't believe it. A week since he was killed. A week since I hunted any thing. I got up suddenly and walked to the kitchen area was. Phoebe was there cutting the 246 lb. buck she caught yesterday, when I was still in my tent. She was a surprisingly good cook, for being a daughter of Ares.
"My lady, your finally out of your tent." Phoebe said when she cut the meat into more pieces. Now that I think about it, she is very intimidating when she's holding a knife.
"Yes, how's the cooking going, When will it be done?" I asked.
"It will be done in about an hour or so." She said.
Then I heard the most annoying man in the world a few yards away from me, Apollo.
"Hey little sis, how are you and your beautiful hunters." He said, sending a wink at Phoebe, who scoffed and then put all of the meat in a bowl and walked to the campfire to cook it over it.
"You call me little sis of flirt with my hunters again I will castrate you." I said threatening him.
"Woah, little sis. No need to attack me." He said stupidly. I then proceeded to walk over to him and kicked him in the balls.
"I'm older!" I yelled at him
He fell to his knees holding himself, and healed himself, while what seemed like he was almost crying in pain. Ha, served him right.
After he was done healing himself he looked at me and said "What I came here to tell you before you so unreasonably kicked me, was that we are having an emergency meeting in Olympus." He informed me
I nodded at him and we both immediately flashed to our thrones. We sat down and I noticed that we were the last ones there and that. Hades was was standing in the center of the throne room. I couldn't help but wonder if something happened in the underworld.
" Alright Hades, now that everyone is accounted for, could you tell us what has happened." Zeus asked.
You're not going to believe this but, Percy's soul isn't in the underworld." He said quickly.
