The Forgotten Hero

Chapter 10:

Percy POV:

It was the day of Diana's birthday. Coincidentally it fell the day after I rescued her from her abusive guardians, that is if you can call them that. Selene and I decided to hold her a small party back at Selene's house. I had learned after that Selene didn't live in the small building that she held me in.

Instead Selene lived in a nice petite two story house on the west side of the city, the house was a mixture of cream and white. The house also had a garage attached to the side of the house, the door of it was a bright red with no dirt or slime marks on. The path that lead to the house started after a small white gate which swung open to reveal a perfectly kept cobble path with little or no weeds growing in between the stones.

The door to the house was very much like the garage door, with bright red colouring and two small glass windows on either side of the door, giving a glimpse in to the house. The door opened pretty smoothly, it was obviously very well kept, much like the rest of the house from what I could see when I entered.

I followed Selene through the door which led in to a small long corridor which had rooms on either side of it branching of further into the House. Diana and I were following her Mum through the house tentatively learning where the rooms were, it was like a guided tour round the house, it was certainly much better than the one Hypnos had given. This was for two, no three reasons; one the rooms which we were shown all had simple modern decor that was different to the decor in one room, but they all followed a set style and didn't differ so much it was like walking into a different house each room, two I got to talk and learn more about Diana, her interest, hobbies and hopes for the future, when I found her and killed her guardians at the time she wanted to then learn how to fight and become an advance Demi-Titan that could hold her own, she also wanted to travel with me and earn my respect, which I told her she already had and what she dreamed of was becoming a famous Hero of Olympus, all in all she seemed like a wonderful Demi-Titan and lastly I got to be with the most beautiful Goddess that I ever had seen, Selene, I would rate her more beautiful than Aphrodite because she had natural beauty, no make up or prosthetic breasts and ass, her personality was also second to none, she was a very easy going person and some one you could talk to easily.

When we were being toured around the house I had spotted that there was enough rooms for all three of us upstairs. I had chosen a room with a single bed which had a light blue duvet and pillow. The actual room was very good with good space to un pack my gear for the night and even had its own mirror and small wash basin, but I mainly loved the room for having a lovely picture hanging from the wall which held a scene of a bright moon shining on a clear ocean which reflected the light whiles you could also see under the water and see many different fish with colourful scales that also reflected moon light that bounced of the scales.

Later that night, Diana and me sat on the couch play fighting, waiting for Dinner to be served, Diana was pretending to be a hero whiles I was pretending to be a Monster, I obviously let her beat me as, not trying to sound like I am blowing my own trumpet, but I didn't want to hurt her, but she did seem more than capable of holding her own, it was as if she was a natural born fighter.

Just as she pinned me on the couch and pretended to cut my head of with the imaginary swords she had pulled from her back, Selene walked in with a huge smile on her face which just would make anyone else smile to, I guess it was her happy demeanor.

"Oh hello, young heroes," She cheerfully laughed,"sorry to interrupt you from your battle but we have Dinner now, it's burgers." As soon as she had finished that sentence, Diana and I were up like a shot and heading for the marble kitchen, where the burgers waited eagerly for us.

We walked into the large kitchen to see the table had three white plates with two burgers each stacked on them, with cheese oozing out of them. We sat down quickly and awaited for Selene to sit down and begin, it was a nice way to show respect to her for cooking the burgers.

"My my, you two look hungry," she chortled, sitting down at the table and letting us begin our food, I was starving because I hadn't eaten for an entire day and gods know when Diana last ate. We ate like hungry wolves, taking massive bites out of the burger, with cheese dangling from my mouth at times before, savouring the delightful treat we had been bestowed with. It didn't take us long before finishing the meal and drinks, "It appears I have just fed two wild lions," Selene joked, making mine and Diana cheeks flush a light shade of pink.

"Well it was a very tasty meal," I smiled back, earning a smile from Selene.

"Yeah mom, it was delicious, I hope we can have more meals like that" Diana said enthusiastically, hopping up from her seat and heading back to the sitting room to watch Cartoons.

The comment that Diana made, even though it was innocent sent a sad look in to Selene's eyes showing nothing but sadness. She slowly started to cry softly as not to let Diana hear. I rushed over to her side to offer some support. What I did not expect was for her to start crying in to my chest and hug me.

"What is wrong now?" I asked sympathetically, to only be left by a large sudden sob into my chest.

"It's that she doesn't know that she will not be staying here," she sobbed into my chest even more,"She has to go, I can't protect her from monsters now she has to learn about the world of the Gods and Goddesses, that is one of the reasons why I am sending you to my Sister Eos, she will learn a great deal from her." Losing her child once more was obviously tearing her apart.

"It going to be fine, I will bring her back to see you every 2 months," I relied honestly.

"But isn't she going to the Hunt, you won't be able to take her back to me." She looked up at me.

"No I intend on keeping her and training her to be the best that she can be, by going to the hunt first she won't be able to learn to do all the things that she wants to do, but instead will become another Man hater and will only be able to use a knife and bow efficiently. And with you giving me a strength in using a bow I intend to teach her how to use a sword and learn to control her powers she may possess and then also give her simple training in Archery before handing her to the Hunt if she so desires too." I asserted.

"You would do that for her." She sniffed, before tightening the hug we were sharing.

"Yes I would do that for you and her." I stated, before picking her up from the chair and walking with her to the other room, to see Diana laying on her stomach watching some sort of Cartoon, the cartoon was making her laugh a lot because as we had entered she was giggling loudly and holding her stomach, she was literally ROFLing on the floor, it was an amusing scene to behold.

Selene and I sat on one of the sofas looking over Diana who was still on the floor giggling. I sat with my arm over her shoulder I was surprised that she let me do this, but was even more when she rested her head on my shoulder, we sat like that enjoying the moment of Diana watching Cartoons and are embrace, this moment lasted along time, before Diana started to yawn and Selene picked her up and dropped her off up stairs and in her bed.

Selene re-entered the room, with her normal blissful smile and sat down next to me, smiling at me. She then put her head back on my shoulders and snuggled in close to me. I was starting to like Selene, she was so easy just to be and she was also amazingly beautiful, with that perfect smile and sweeping hair, with those stunning grey eyes. We sat there in silence, neither of us wanting to break the she was the first to crack with a certain question.

"Perce I have been thinking, maybe you and Diana could stay a while, rather than leaving tomorrow," She said flashing me adorable puppy eyes that I could not resist.

"I'll think I will have to," I replied showing her my lopsided grin.

"I guess it will be a second present for her, plus I think you and I could get to be verrry good friends,"She added winking. I couldn't believe this she thinks we could become good friends and I would get to stay with her longer, or did see me by very good friends partners or lovers. I jolted out of my thoughts when I felt some one breathing in my ear sending shivers down my spine,"You do know what I mean don't you," She continued breathing on my ear once more. After that I knew what she meant but I don't think I am ready for this, it is too soon after Annabeth, I don't care if she cheated.

But all I could muster was a weak,"Erh yeah," and with that I believed I had sealed my fate.

"Oh you do Perce," She said now crawling into my lap resting her face on my chest,"maybe I can make that certain," she said lowering her voice, and leaned into my face. A million thoughts were rushing through my head now at the speed of light, what is she going to do, is she going to kiss, whisper something, I hope not I don't want to ruin our relationship or what we have of one. But today the fates saved me just in time. A loud crying noise could be heard from up stairs and Selene instantly got off my lap and headed for the stairs me in hot pursuit.

We climbed the stairs and carried on are run to Diana room where the screams were coming from. Selene pushed open the door with force and we came into the room to see Diana writhing under the bed sheets. I shot over to the side of the bed and picked Diana up and cradled her in my arms on the side of the bed, rocking away the bad dreams, whilst Selene sat on the other side of Diana whispering in to her ears murmuring something indistinguishable from where I sat on the bed.

Slowly Diana eyes fluttered open and she instinctively went to wipe away her tears which were slowly running down her red cheeks. When her silver eyes locked with mine, I instantly sore hurt and fear in the normal bright silver globes of joy.

"Whats wrong, was it a bad dream"I whispered to her, looking at her face with true sincerity in my voice.

"Yeah, I was having a dream of being alone in some woods, and being attacked by a many men and monsters," She started to tear up again just thinking about it was a very sad sight, she was like a daughter to me already and it pained me to see her cry.

I couldn't take it anymore and I hugged her softly whilst picking her up and carrying her bridal style whilst murmuring words of encouragement like 'it is just a dream nothing else' and 'don't worry me and your Mum are here'.

It seemed to work as she started to settle down and dose off again. She was a peaceful sleeper, she would lightly breath out and in. Diana was now fully asleep and I lightly tucked her in to bed before, leaving the room and waiting for Selene to say her last good nights for this evening.

I waited for Selene on the landing to see her emerge with a small smile on her face, something was wrong.

"Selene, what is wrong," I asked with a quizzical look on my face.

"Oh nothing," she lied convincingly, putting on a fake smile. That just confirmed it.

"Please Selene, what is wrong, it pains me to see two of my favourite girls pained in such a way," I asked again. Then pulling her in to a gentle hug when she started to tear up. "come on Selene, it is going to be fine, just tell me what is bothering you."

"Well, Perce it is just that you and my daughter get on so well. I would love for you stay for ever with my Daughter and me. Why do you have to run from your past, you could easily live here with my Daughter and I. We could start a small family and live happily together," She was now on the verge of sobbing.

"You know I can't stay forever, I would for starters winkle up and die, that wouldn't be fair on you and lastly Diana needs to explore the wild so she can become a famous Hunter/Hero and make you proud. There is no point in her staying stagnant for the rest of her life." I answered her truthfully.

"But why," she mumbled into my chest.

"Like I said it is best for her. Plus I will come and visit you every month, with Diana." I said throwing her my famous lopsided grin.

What I didn't expect her to do was to push me into the wall and kiss me forcefully. I was in bliss, her soft lips felt perfect against mine like a match made in heaven. After a few minutes we resurfaced for some air, I looked at her face to see she was very flustered and I can bet my face was the same as hers. I slowly cupped her face in my hands and smiled, but I was intoxicated with her scent and could not resist my next actions. I slowly lent in to her, my lips slowly grazing her soft velvet ones and she leaned into the kiss too, the kiss started to heat up and I licked her lower lip asking for entrance to her mouth. She gladly obliged and my tongue met hers and we fought for dominance. My tongue eventually won and I explored her every nook and cranny of her mouth, breathing in her every scent. I then decided to let her explore my mouth and as she did we started to move along the corridor.

She lent back on to her bedroom door and we stumbled in still intoxicated with each other, she pushed me onto the bed and straddled me before continuing to kiss me but more forcefully, we had another tongue war, but gravity was on her side and she won easily and got to explore my mouth again. Selene then pulled back from my face and her eyes where full of lust and I was mesmerized. She then lent down and started nibbling on my ear and kissing it, and I let out a slight moan from my mouth, this drove her into overdrive and she started kissing down his jawline and was starting to kiss down his neck before reaching my shirt.

She looked back up at me her eyes full of lust and hunger, before slowly sliding my shirt of over my head and arms which I only happily obliged to. She looked down at my bare chest with pure desire, before running her hands down the sides of my chest, sending shivers down my spine. I knew she would want to take this further but I would stop her it was against my morals. I then pulled her down for the last long passionate kiss, my hands wondering through her hair to her back whilst hers started playing with my hair and as she did this I noticed one her hands creeping down my stomach to my belt. I stopped her not wanting to go any further by grabbing her hand and lifting her head up to meet mine.

She had a pout on and big puppy dog eyes no one would be able to resist, but just this once I had to go against my emotions and stop her.

"Look Selene, your incredibly beautiful and smart, but before we take it any further I would like to get to know you more," I apologized truthfully.

"But Perce," She said sultry, with extra emphasize on the end of my name.

"No Selene I won't take this any further, it will damage our relationship." I responded slightly sternly.

"At least sleep with me tonight. Your rather warm Perce." She said shyly.

"That is fine by me," I smiled leaning down to kiss her forehead before laying down on the bed sheet, with her nudging her head into the nook of my neck before falling to sleep and taking small light breaths.

I to then fell asleep.

I woke up to the sound of a girl laughing. I looked over in the direction of laughter and spotted Diana laughing at me and ohh shit. I mentally cursed my self, I should of got up earlier, but what Diana could see was that her Mother was lying on top of a half naked me sleeping. I quickly nudged the sleeping angel on top of me with her hair cascading down my chest. She awoke startled but quickly remembered who I was and what we were doing she reached up to my face and gave me another passionate kiss, I couldn't stop her and tell her that Diana was watching.

She was broken out her trance when Diana began to snicker again. Selene looked up much like I did and saw Diana with a huge grin plastered on her face before she ran down stairs.

"Well, looks like my Daughter know," She smirked before getting of my body and exposing me to the cold air in the bedroom. I too got up and grabbed my shirt which was located on the floor of the bedroom.

I walked out the door and went down stairs to say happy birthday to Diana and get some breakfast.

After saying happy birthday to the still giggling Diana, we went and watched some cartoons on the TV whiles waiting for her Mum to cook Diana favourite food, Pancakes with syrup and honey bacon. That girl had the right taste buds if you ask me they are some of my favourites too. We were watching some Kids TV which wasn't so funny to a slightly mature adult but appeared to get Diana in hysterics, but we were called for Breakfast before it ended much to Diana's disappointment. But I think getting some lovely grub was much better.

We sat down and marveled at the food in front of us, there was a stack of Pancakes which reached 10 high marking Diana's birthday and coated in a thick layer of syrup with honey bacon scattered around the base of the stack. I hadn't eaten a meal like this since last time I was at my Mum's apartment.

We devoured our food quickly and Diana said thank you for the best birthday ever, but Selene advised her there was much more to come.

We stepped back in to the living room and was greeted by a small amount of presents gift wrapped for Diana, Diana eagerly went over to them, before sending her Mum a questioning look,"Are these for me Mum,"

"Yes darling, I hope you like them," Selene nodded encouragingly.

"Thank you, thank you , thank you," She shouted before running over to her mum, and giving her a massive hug.

"Go on Diana, open your presents... before I do" I smirked.

"No you won't there mine," she laughed running of to the pile of presents.

Time flew by as me and Selene sat on the couch opposite Diana watching her gleefully open up her gifts. She got many weapons from her mum and a birthday card from Eos saying she was looking forward to seeing her niece. The weapons she got was a brand new bow like the one Selene gave me put modern and new, she got a pair of silver daggers and also a sweet looking sword which I was eager to help her learn how to use in battle.

Anyway we took the small party outside to soak up some Sun before having a late afternoon lunch.

We sat there all of us on the grass round the back of the house enjoying each others company and playing with Diana. I was showing her one of my abilities her deceased uncle had given me which was being able to change my form. I was going through many funny form and pulling many faces making her Mother and herself laugh uncontrollably.

I stood up getting out of the shade and decided to show Diana and her Mum what I really looked like, (all this time he was in Helios form) I changed into my familiar form keeping all of my muscles the same. I swept my messy black raven hair out of my face and made my way over to Selene who had called me over. She wanted to see my eyes which her Daughter had said where an enchanting green colour. I headed over to her to have her cup my face and instead of look at my eyes as I thought she was going to do instead she gave me a long passionate kiss and our tongues fought for dominance, but just as it was heating up. Diana pulled on my leg and ended the kiss, she whispered in to my ear. "Percy why is there another Girl over there," she whispered pointing over to a twelve year old who was slowly walking up to me with hate on her face. It was Artemis.

I leaned up to my lovers ears and whispered the last words of that day to her. "I love you Selene, but they have found me. I am going to take Diana with me, see you soon." Before kissing her softly on the lips and grabbing her Daughter who had all of her new weapons on her in bead form and teleported away from my lover Selene.

A/N Wow, I really enjoyed that chapter, Now what do you think of this little love shenanigans we have going on here. I don't care what you say, and why he is in love with Selene but be prepared for drama in the upcoming chapters.

As normal the next one will be up on Tuesday and be most likely a Artemis and Selene chapter. BYE... .
