What's up it's objudge125 back with another chapter of "Heir to the protogenoi".

The poll is almost over so you guys need to VOTE VOTE VOTE before it ends. The latest time that a vote will be counted is 11:59 March 7, 2018. Here is how the poll is looking right now:

Artemis and Hera-45

Artemis-31

Hera-18

It looks like Artemis and Hera will be the pairing unless something really crazy happens in one day. I'm sorry for those of you who don't like harems. I'm also sorry to those who don't like Pertemis.

Now I got some questions about Zoe in the reviews, as I expected. Here are some of the questions I got:

Is there a possible romance between Percy and Zoe? (From imasurvivor21)

You'll find out soon enough.

Does Zoe know Percy is alive? (From imasurvivor21)

No, she thinks he's dead.

Isn't the pairing Artemis x Percy x Hera?

Not officially but it most likely will be. I never said that Zoe would be paired with Percy along with Hera and Artemis. I implied it. It may or may not happen. It all depends on what you guys review. Quite a lot of people want her to be one of Percy's girlfriends in the reviews. Like I said before, though, it may or may not happen.

I hope you guys like this chapter. The song I'm listening to right now, Buy it-Lil Uzi Vert.

I do not own PJO or HOO.

Zoe pov

Zoe slid into the limo and looked over into the face of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Zoe personally didn't care for the goddess, partly because she's a hunter of Artemis. But besides that, she'd heard about the way she had messed with many people's love lives.

"What do you want from me?" Zoe asked. Aphrodite looked surprised but said nothing about my disrespect.

"You should know why you're here, my dear. Finally, after thousands of years, Artemis' lieutenant has fallen in love!" she exclaimed. Zoe felt her face flush and suddenly she was very angry.

"What are you talking about?!" she yelled. "Me? Fall in love? You've gone insane." Aphrodite laughed.

"Oh I haven't gone insane. I know when someone has fallen in love. And finally, a hunter of Artemis has." Zoe shook her head.

"I don't even remember talking to any male besides Apollo, Chiron, and... oh no. No. No way I've fallen for... you really have gone insane"Zoe said. Aphrodite smirked at her bewilderment.

"You know you have" Aphrodite said, still smirking. Zoe shook her head wildly, glaring at Aphrodite.

"Don't you ever say that I have fallen in love with a man again. Especially one so-"

"Handsome?" Aphrodite suggested. "Oh I dream about what I would do to him if he just happened to slide into my bed one evening. I'd stare into those beautiful eyes while I stroke his long thick-"

"If you finish that sentence I will slit your throat, goddess or no" Zoe growled at her. Aphrodite went cross eyed looking at the knife under her chin before smiling again.

"Aaaawwwwwww, you get so defensive when I bring him up. You don't like when other girls talk about him, do you? Well that won't stop me from imagining his giant length-" Zoe pressed her knife just a bit into Aphrodite's neck, causing ichor to trickle down slowly.

"Don't you ever suggest that I have fallen in love with a male again or this knife will be much deeper in your throat" Zoe snarled. Aphrodite gulped. Suddenly there was a loud howl from outside the limo.

"I think you should go and check on your friends" Aphrodite said. Zoe tried to see what was going on outside but the window was heavily tinted from the inside. She glared at Aphrodite one more time.

"I've warned you love goddess" she snarled before opening the door to see Ares standing there.

"Enjoyed your time with her?" he said. Zoe, despite herself, blushed and ran into the taco spot. Her friends were in there, eating piles of food on the plate. When Zoe walked in, the girls stopped eating and looked at her for a couple of seconds. Then she got hit with a barrage of questions.

"Stop stop stop I only have two ears!" she yelled. They all shutup. "One question at a time."

"Who was in the car and what did he or she talk to you about?" Phoebe quickly asked.

"It was Aphrodite" Zoe responded. They all looked surprised.

"What?" Annabeth said, confused. "What would she want with you of all people?" Zoe shrugged, a blush slowly creeping onto her face.

"She just wanted to know something about... something." Zoe didn't know what to say. Phoebe was looking at her suspiciously. Zoe just shook her head slightly to let her know that she couldn't talk about it at the moment. Phoebe understood and nodded. Luckily, neither Thalia or Annabeth caught the movement.

"How'd you get the tacos anyway? This place had to have been abandoned years ago. No one comes around here" Zoe said.

"That's certainly not true!" a voice from the kitchen behind the counter said. A lady came out from the kitchen and walked around the counter. Zoe studied the woman closely. She was average in height and weight. She looked around 5"10. She had average brown hair and she was wearing an apron. The only thing strange about her was her eyes. They were green, not like Percy's though. They were a dark green color that really unnerved Zoe.

"Hello, my dear. I presume you would like some food?" she asked. Zoe shook her head.

"No I'm fine" she said. She didn't trust the lady at all. "Are you sure? Your friends seem to love my homemade tacos" she said. Zoe again shook her head.

"I said I am fine" she repeated. Suddenly, her stomach gave a loud rumble. The lady raised an eyebrow. "You seem pretty hungry."

Zoe blushed. "Um no. I just have... uuhhhhh... diarrhea. Yeah. Is there a bathroom in here?" The lady pointed at a door down the hall. Zoe rushed in there and slammed the door. She sat on the toilet for a couple of minutes, not knowing what to do. After a few minutes, though, she heard a scream from outside. She hurriedly rushed out of the bathroom and saw a horrid sight.

The lady had turned into a horrible monster. Not just any monster, though. This one had glowing green eyes, six inch claws on her hands, and the worst part of her appearance, the snake hair.

'Medusa' Zoe thought, fear taking over her. Her quest mates were all under the table, trying not to look at Medusa's eyes. Medusa was throwing chairs and tables all over the place, completely wrecking the restaurant.

"Come out demigods!" she screeched. Zoe took Percy's necklace off of her neck. She had worn it ever since he died. 'Out of guilt' she thought to herself. As soon as she took off the necklace it transformed into the beautiful black bow. Zoe aimed it at Medusa and fired. For some reason, whenever Zoe used Percy's bow, which was only two times, it always seemed as if the arrow went faster and there was more power in the shot. This was proved when the arrow that Zoe shot embedded itself three inches into her head whereas a regular arrow probably would've only went a centimeter into her thick skull.

Medusa roared in pain and spun around to face Zoe while pulling the arrow out of her head and letting out another roar of pain. Zoe was forced to avert her gaze. "Stupid mortal bitch" Medusa screamed. Zoe scrambled backwards as Medusa lunged at her, claws stretched out. Another arrow was shot into the back of Medusa's head by Phoebe, who had finally crawled out of under the table. Zoe was right though. Her arrow had almost no effect. It did enough to make Medusa turn around to face her. Phoebe dropped to the floor. Medusa stalked towards Phoebe, giving Zoe the chance to jump forward and drive her hunting knife into Medusa's skull.

Medusa stumbled around. She was screaming and yelling in pain and trying to remove the knife from her head but her fingers were starting to disintegrate. Annabeth sprang out from under the table and lopped off her head. Her body disintegrated but her head remained. It plopped to the floor. Annabeth looked pleased with herself.

Zoe turned Percy's bow back into a necklace and placed it back around her neck. Phoebe looked at her weirdly.

"So, shall we get moving?" Thalia asked, looking shaken. "We don't have much time left. The winter solstice is in exactly one day and seven hours. We have to find a way to get to San Francisco in 31 hours."

Zoe and Phoebe glanced at each other and then Zoe said, "Do you even know where we are right now?" Everyone shrugged. Zoe sighed. "Then we must improvise. We'll just keep walking until we find a way. It will be no use just sitting here waiting for something to come up."

Then Thalia's face lit up. Then it darkened again. "I had an idea, then I realized that it probably wouldn't work anyway." Zoe looked at her expectantly. She sighed heavily. "You see, multiple times before I have prayed to my father asking for his help. I always thought that maybe this time it could work but he never responds." Phoebe snorted.

"Of course, he's a male. He doesn't care" she said. Thunder rumbled in the sky overhead. The girls exited the shop after disposing of Medusa's head by cutting it up into little pieces, which Annabeth and Thalia found completely disgusting.

"Just try. Even if he doesn't answer it wouldn't hurt to try" Zoe said. Thalia huffed but she closed her eyes and said, "Um, dad, I kinda need your help right now. If you don't help me and send some type of transport the world will be destroyed and you won't be king of Olympus anymore so yeah." More thunder rumbled in the sky.

Suddenly a large creature swooped down from the sky an landed with a thud in front of the girls. Then another one landed in front of them. When they got close, the girls saw that they were made from metal. They were large metal angels.

"Wassup dudes" one said. "Lord Zeus said we gotta come down here and help you guys out. Take you to 'Frisco." Thalia looked extra nervous, something that did not go unnoticed by Zoe.

"Sure" Phoebe said. "Let's go."

Without warning, the angels plucked the girls up and flew up in the air. Thalia let out a scream of panic.

"Thalia, we're just flying calm down" Annabeth said. Thalia stopped screaming but still looked panicked. Zoe stared at her in disbelief. A daughter of Zeus, scared of heights? Wow.

"You guys better get comfortable!" one of the angels yelled. "We'll be flying for hours!" Zoe sighed and tried to get in the most comfortable position. It was going to be a long day and a half.

12 hours later

Zoe snapped awake for the third time. She was jolted awake by the giant flying metal angels taking a sharp turn.

"Huh?" she said. Phoebe snickered at her. She glared at her and Phoebe shutup. "Where are we?"

"We're in San Francisco already. They're putting us down any second now" Phoebe responded.

Right on cue, the giant metal angels swooped down and landed with a giant thud in the middle of an empty park. There was not many people around because it was ten pm at night. The only person that paid any mind was a homeless guy that ran way screaming about giant metal chickens from mars.

"There you go. Wish you luck" one of the angels said. They took off, leaving the girls standing in the park.

"Where do we go now" Thalia asked.

"There" Zoe said, pointing at a giant mountain in the distance. It looked sinister. There was a giant cloud of mist at the top of the mountain that blocked the view of anything going on.

"Mount Tam" Annabeth whispered. The girls silently walked out of the park and started on their way to mount Tam. They kept walking for about half an hour. Eventually, Phoebe got frustrated.

"Can't we just steal a car or something like that?" she asked. "We'll never make it in time if we just keep trudging around like this!"

Zoe looked kind of nervous. "But what if we get caught? What if someone sees us? What if-" She was stopped when the door to a random car popped open and Thalia stepped away from it looking proud.

"Me, Annabeth and... me and Annabeth used to always steal cars when we were on the run years ago. It comes easily. Would you like me to teach you?" Thalia said.

Zoe wondered who's name she was about to say but remained silent. "No thanks. Let's just go before someone stops us." They hopped in the car and Thalia drove away. Half an hour later of swerving through traffic and on the golden gate bridge, Thalia was off the high way and was driving on a dirt road up a hill. Phoebe groaned.

"How much longer?" she whined.

"Not much" Zoe answered. She was wrong.

Thalia drove back down the hill. Then she drove into a foresty area. There was a barely visible dirt road on that Thalia rode on. Finally, Thalia suddenly stopped the car.

"Finally" Phoebe said. They piled out of the car to see why Thalia stopped.

"Look" she said. They all looked and saw the cloud of mist shimmering in the air in front of them. Thalia took a tentative step forward. She put one hand through the mist but it didn't show on the other side.

"I think that's the way to the mountain" she said. Phoebe rolled her eyes. 'No duh.'

All the girls stepped through the mist and saw the most beautiful sight they'd ever seen in their lives. It was a garden. It had exotic flowers, there were butterflies floating around. The most beautiful thing though, was the giant tree in the middle of the garden, with golden apples hanging from the branches. Unfortunately, there was a giant dragon with a hundred heads curled around the base.

"Why are you here?" a voice asked. The girls whipped their weapons out and whirled around to see four girls standing there. Phoebe noticed that Zoe looked slightly sick. "If you're here to go to mount Tam and fight my father then you might as well leave now. Neither we nor Ladon will let you pass."

Zoe stared at the girls. "Sisters-"

"Do not call us that" they hissed. Zoe looked taken aback. "You are no longer our sister." Tears started to form in Zoe's eyes but she quickly whipped them away.

"Fine, if you won't let us pass then maybe Ladon will convince you" Zoe sneered at them. The girls looked shocked.

"Have you gone mad? He will kill us all!" they shouted.

Zoe didn't respond. Instead, she yelled, "Ladon wake!" The girls scrambled as far away from Ladon as possible as his eyes opened. All his heads rose and they stared unblinkingly at Zoe.

Then, without warning he unged at her.
