Five years later
It had been five years since Hestia took in Percy. As promised, when Percy turned twelve, Hestia began sending him on missions to bring demigods to camp half blood and to Artemis' hunt. Percy remembered vividly the first time he brought a girl to Artemis' hunt.
Fashback:
Percy stood in the living room, waiting for Hestia to come and tell him his next mission. Moments later, she flashed in in a burst of flame.
Percy bowed. "Lady Hestia." Hestia frowned.
"I told you to stop doing that did I not?" she said angrily. "You've been here for what, three years now? Do that one more time and I'll hand you over to Artemis for target practice." Percy paled and apologized very quickly.
Hestia smiled. "Thank you" she said. "Now, I have a girl for you to pick up so you'll be going to Artemis anyway." Percy groaned and Hestia laughed. "It won't be that bad. I already told her that you're coming so she'll be ready. The hunt is currently in the Salmon Challis forest in Idaho. You have been practicing your fire traveling, right." Percy nodded. "Good, then you should be able to get there by yourself. The girl is currently in Utah. I'll teleport you right outside her home. She's living in some pretty... despicable conditions." Hestia's eyes flashed with anger and Percy flinched.
"Goodbye, my champion" Hestia said. Warm fire enveloped Percy and he was transported outside of a house in Utah, if you could even call it a house. It was easily the dirtiest thing Percy had ever seen besides Gabe's room.
It was one floor, Percy could tell. Before Percy could study the house any more there was a loud shriek from inside followed by banging and then silence. Then there was a loud scream. Percy narrowed his eyes and kicked down the door before running in, Chaos steel sword drawn. He had named the sword anaklusmos in honor of his father, primordial of the sea.
The sight he saw in the house was so disgusting that it almost made Percy throw up. There was feces everywhere and piss all over the floor. A girl was chained by her neck to her bedpost and was bruised all over her body. She had no pants on but Percy knew she was still a virgin or else Hestia would've never told him to take her to the hunt. It was clear, though, that she had been abused horrifically. She was unconscious and Percy knew she was choking on the chain. He quickly ran over and melted the chain. Then he picked up the girl and got ready to fire travel away. Before he cold go, though, a fat man with a wild beard and thick greasy eyebrows walked in.
"Who the fuck are you" the man asked, his words slurring together, "and where the fuck do you think you're going with my toy?" Percy's blood began to boil and he gently placed the girl down before turning back to the man, eyes glowing an orange red color.
"Answer me you fucking freak. Who the fuck do you think you a-" he was cut off by a fist in the jaw sending him crashing into the wall. Percy wasted no time dragging him up and delivering another hay maker. Percy beat the man mercilessly until he knew he was he sent a prayer to Hestia, asking her to send him straight to Tartarus and set his body on fire.
Percy turned around and saw the girl awake, eyes wide. Percy stepped towards her but she gave a loud shriek of fear and Percy stopped moving.
"I'm not going to hurt you I swear" he said, hands in the air. He took another step but she screamed again. "I promise I won't hurt you." The girl moved further into the corner. Percy sighed, then he had an idea.
"Are you hungry? Do you want food?" he asked. At the word food, the girl, who looked around six or seven, perked up.
"Food?" she said. Percy conjured a plate of spaghetti and meatballs thanks to Hestia's blessing, and put it down in front of him. The girl still didn't move. Percy sihed and stepped to the other corner of the room. The girl scampered forward, grabbed the plate, and ran back to the corner of the room before eating it like she'd never seen food before in her life. Percy watched as she ate, wondering if she had ever eaten a proper meal before.
The girl finished and held out her plate as if asking for more. Percy smiled and refilled the plate. When the girl finished she set the plate down and stood up. She had blond hair that ended around her midsection and blue eyes.
'That's either Apollo or Hermes' Percy thought. The girl's dress was tattered but covered her up for the most part.
"Thank you" the girl said. "I haven't eaten in three days." Those words filled Percy with rage. "Who are you" she asked. Percy knelt down so that he was looking the girl in the eye.
"My name is Percy" he said. "What's yours?"
"My name is Hannah" she said. "My mommy died when I was little and I don't know where my daddy is. I lived with my uncle for this many years" she said holding up three fingers. Percy's eyes widened. She lived with that monster for three years?
"Well I know a place where you can be safe?" Percy said. "And you might even see your father there." Hannah's eyes brightened.
"I can see my daddy?" she exclaimed. 'Yeah' Percy thought 'Getting shot in the balls by a bunch of man hating huntresses.'
"When can I go?" Hannah asked.
"Right now, if you want to" Percy responded. Hannah jumped up and down. "Let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go!"
Percy laughed and picked her up. She giggled and hung on to his shoulders.
"I'm going to do something that might scare you a little bit but it won't hurt, okay?" Hannah nodded. Percy then shrouded them in flames then transported them to Salmon Challis. They arrived in the forest and Percy put Hannah down. Before they even took a step, though, an arrow flew by and planted itself in the tree behind Percy and Hannah. Hannah shrieked and jumped behind Percy. From the trees Artemis appeared, bow drawn.
"Did you really have to scare her like that?" Percy asked. Artemis glared at him but her gaze softened when she saw Hannah hiding behind Percy.
"Hello there little one" Artemis said as she knelt down and held her hand out. Hannah didn't budge.
"Maybe she would've come out if you didn't try to takeoff my head with one of your stupid arrows" Percy said. Artemis glared at him again.
"Shutup you stupid boy" she said. Percy sighed and turned around to face Hannah.
"Hannah, it's okay, she's a friend" Percy said. There was a cough from behind him. "Well she's your friend anyway."
Hannah peeked at Artemis from around Percy. "Are you sure?" she asked. Percy looked at Artemis' withering glare.
"Uuuuuum, sure." Hannah came out. Artemis smiled.
"Hello, my name is Artemis." Hannah nodded. "My name is Hannah" she whispered shyly.
Artemis started explaining to Hannah the rules of the hunt and when she made the offer, Hannah excepted. Percy watched with a small smile on his face.
After, Hannah ran back over to Percy.
"Will I ever see you again?" she asked. Percy glanced at Artemis, who was staring at him coldly.
"Hopefully. For now, goodbye" Percy answered. Hannah hugged him one last time before walking off with Artemis.
After that first mission, Percy took three more girls to Artemis hunt. During those missions, Artemis' greetings were the same. A silver arrow that barely missed Percy's face, then Percy coaxed the girl out, then the girl agreed to join the hunt.
Currently, Percy was sitting on the couch, waiting for Hestia to give him another mission. Today, though, Percy as especially nervous because this mission involved Hades, god of the Underworld. After waiting about ten minutes, Hestia appeared in a burst of flame. The shadows began to gather in the room and Hades appeared next to her.
"Percy" Hestia said, "Meet my brother Hades." Hades nodded at me and took a seat on the other couch next to Hestia.
"Hades here has a mission he needs you to complete for him" Hestia said. "It involves his children."
Percy's eyes widened and he mustered enough courage to speak. "You broke the oath?" he asked. Hades sneered at Percy and he shrank back in my seat.
"I didn't break the oath. My children were in the lotus hotel and casino for seventy years. So try not to make assumptions little boy." Percy shrank back even further in his seat.
"Brother you're scaring him" Hestia said.
"Good" was Hades' response. My face flushed in embarrassment.
"So you want me to rescue your kids?" I asked. Hades nodded.
"From Westover hall boarding school in Maine. I have left them there for the time being but that stupid camp half blood has sent demigods to find them. If they are discovered to be my children Zeus will no doubt kill them."
"Ok" Percy said. "I will leave immediately. I promise to return with your kids Lord Hades" Percy said. He merely nodded and disappeared in shadows.
"Hestia" Percy asked. "Can you please transport me to Maine?" She nodded and waved her hand. Immediately Percy was dumped in a bank of snow. It was freezing cold up in Maine and Percy didn't even have a jacket. Hestia must have knew he was cold because seconds later, an orange hoodie appeared in the snow next to him.
"Thanks Hestia" he muttered. Percy put on the hoodie and began trekking up a small hill. When he got to the top, he saw a big school that said 'Westover hall boarding school." Just 100 yards away was a cliff.
'Who the hell builds a school 100 yards from a cliff?' Percy thought. 'Stupid mortals.' Percy was about to go inside the school when he saw two kids getting dragged out of the building by a manticore. Then, three demigods ran out of the school after them, weapons drawn.
"Put them down" one with black hair and sea green eyes said. 'That's a son of Poseidon no doubt about it' Percy thought. Then there was a girl with blonde hair and grey eyes. 'Athena.' And then there was one with short black hair and blue eyes. 'Zeus'. Percy watched as the boy tried to fight the manticore but was hit with a spike and paralyzed. Then the two girls tried to fight but were both knocked out. Before the manticore could get the children and escape, though, Percy jumped down from the hill, drew his bow and fired all in one motion. The arrow reached the monster the same time that an arrow from the forest to the left of Westover hall reached the manticore. The monster roared with pain as it got hit with two arrows at once.
Percy looked closer. The arrow was silver.
Percy groaned. 'Here we go again' he thought.
