Disclaimer: Yeah, I don't own nothing.

Chapter 4

Percy's P.O.V.

We landed somewhere in the forest and I was very confused. I looked up to see glinting golden eyes. "Kronos,what do you want?" I growled and Kronos looked amused. "Now, I want you to join me, Perseus. Together we can defeat that stupid girl who betrayed you." He sneered. Okay, no, just no. Rule number one with me... do not insult anyone unless they deserve it. "Don't disrespect her. I probably didn't treat her right or something." I argued. He just snorted.

"You and your loyalty. Just stop being loyal!" He snarled, and I reared up, ready to attack. I charged and he just vanished. I spun around, searching for him. "You COWARD!" I shouted. I stopped spinning, giving up. Suddenly I heard yelling. Thinking it was Kronos and my brothers, I dashed towards the noise, realizing that it was Apollo and Artemis fighting.

"Why do you even care?" Artemis was shouting. "Because I care!" Apollo yelled back. I snorted. No shit Sherlock. "I don't need your protection, I'm fine without it!" Artemis bellowed. "And also, WHY WERE YOU HUGGING THALIA?" Artemis continued. "Because she was hurting. And I wanted to... comfort her." Apollo started to calm down. "Well, stop it, because you're just going to use her!" Artemis was exploding. "I'm your brother. Of course I'd never use her." Apollo wasn't shouting anymore. "Yes you will. You man-whore. You are not the brother I once knew. Go away!" Artemis gave him a hard shove and he tumbled away and she stalked away. Apollo hung his head and walked in my direction

Apollo's P.O.V.

Okay... so, I was just taking a walk when I see Thalia bawling her eyes out. I asked her what was wrong, and she said that she didn't know where Percy was ans she was sad. I told her that he didn't die like she thought he did. She was still crying and I gave her a hug. Not a hug where she was uncomfortable. On of my comforting hugs. Then my sister came and started lashing out at me. Saying hurtful things and she's the reason I'm immature. She's the reason I go with many women like my father. She ended up saying that I was a man-whore and that stuff.

I walked with my head down, until I heard someone. "Hey, Apollo." I whipped around to see a guy with green eyes and shaggy black hair. "Perce?" I whispered. He grinned and nodded. I felt one of my smiles coming on. "Hey bro, I heard what Artemis was saying." He looked sympathetic. Hurt crashed onto me like a wave. I glumly nodded. "Yeah, that hurt." I muttered.

Percy cocked his head. "C'mon Apollo, we can talk at our camp." He walked off, with me hurrying behind. Soon we came to a camp fire with logs around it. Two guys with black hair were sitting around it. "Uh, hi." I waved. They both looked up. Oh, it was Theseus and Orion. I can tell them apart from the hair. Theseus had hair like Percy's. Long, shaggy, and his bangs hanging in his eyes. Orion had close-cropped hair and golden flecks in his sea-green eyes. Orion's eyes narrowed as he saw me.

I sat down next to Percy, and Orion scowled. "What are you doing here?" He regarded me coldly. I flinched. "You can tell 'em." Percy encouraged. I first confronted Orion. I had to have him forgive me. "Look, Orion, the only reason I enchanted Artemis to kill you was because-" He interrupted me. "You were jealous. I know, but that's no reason to kill." He looked hurt. I felt even more guilt. "I never told you, but Artemis and I used to be so close as kids. We would hunt on my mom's island and I would be her protector." I took a deep breath.

"What she says is true. I am the younger one, but I just feel like I have to be older to protect her. She never complained when we were kids, but when we came to Olympus," I snorted, then continued to talk. "Then, her hatred for men grew and grew when all those disgusting male gods came for her. Stupid lovesick gods. I was the one to fend them off. I protected my... my lil sis." My voice became choked. "But as I said, she started to hate and despise men so greatly that she..." I trailed off.

"She what?" Percy asked gently. "She... she began to hate me." I whispered and everyone's eyes grew. "Even though she hated me, I loved her, and still tried to protect her. Then she got her little army of immortal girls and I was pushed to the side. I was left choking on the dust. I still loved her and tried to protect her and the hunters. The only reason I flirted with them was so that I could get closer to them, so I could protect them. Then you came, Orion the Hunter, and you did what her brother couldn't. You got to hunt with Artemis. And I tried to hang out with you more, to ask if you could protect her. But she kept you away from me. Avoiding me like a disease." Tears flowed freely down my face.

"I- I had no choice Orion. And I am so so sorry. I never forgave myself. Artemis hated me and I even begged Uncle Hades to bring you back. I went on a quest for you, only to find that Hades had been captured. And I was miserable. Please forgive me." My bottom lip quivered. Orion gave me a smile. "Of course I forgive you. I didn't know that happened to you. If you had told me, then I would've confronted Artemis about it." Orion patted my knee and I gave him a grateful smile. "But why did you act immature and a playboy?" Theseus wondered out loud.

I faced him. "Because of Artemis. I became immature because it helped me deal with the pain. It helped me keep positive. And I didn't want to become a playboy, but being with women made the pain disappear and I just did if often. I also love my kids so much. In my palace, I have a wall dedicated to everyone I love. Its filled with pictures of them. Pictures of my lovers and our children. Pictures of Artemis and me when we were little. Even pictures of the gods and hunters. And pictures of you, Percy. You are my favorite cousin and I love you like a brother." I smiled as he nodded. "I love you like a brother also, Apollo." He got up to give me a hug. "Thanks bro. I've decided to be serious Apollo. No more immature Apollo. My sister doesn't want me in her life, I won't be in it. I'll jist ignore her. Won't talk to her, unless it is very important." I vowed, and Theseus nodded in agreement.

"Good job Apollo. Me and Orion love you like brothers also." Theseus gave me a wink. "Yep, brothers always." Orion smiled real big. I cracked a grin. "Theseus," He looked at me. "Yeah?" He asked. "Its not me and Orion. Its Orion and I." I corrected. He laughed. "Okay, Athena." He joked, and we were all laughing. Me and my family.

Hah, very emotional chapter. :( But I'm glad that Apollo has brothers that love him and are loyal! :) Hope you enjoyed!
