Chapter 10
New York
A wonderful place Percy thought, he was gazing at the city from his apartment window. It had been a while after the Camp had dispersed for the school. There was a lot of year rounder this time but he chose to go to be with his family. His mom had this very morning shocked him by telling him of the new younger sibling he was going to have. Yes, his mother was pregnant with his stepfather Paul's child. Percy was really happy for them. But this got him thinking he was a half-blood, this would attract monsters and that would be dangerous for his little brother or sister. He had to do something; his mom knowing him had warned him about even thinking of leaving them. So Percy was deep in thought, what should he do so that his family could be free from any danger. He was very tired and he needed his sleep. The curse of Achilles was making him have to sleep for hours. He looked at the moon lace plant glowing in the moonlight and then he went to his room hit the pillow and fell asleep instantly.
Artemis was watching Percy very closely through her moon. She saw as he went into his room and fell asleep immediately. She wanted to laugh at the site as to how he fell directly on his bed. She was certain that the hero had fallen asleep even before he touched the pillow. It was a pity that he had turned down immortality; she could have actually trained him herself. She had also made it point to make the offer to train him but he had refused godhood. The hunters had learned from observation the reason behind him turning down immortality. The daughter of Athena should be considering herself lucky; she had got the best man of this century for herself. Romantic relationships were not what the goddess encouraged but she had no problem with Percy and Annabeth's relationship. The goddess waited for a longer time to make sure that everyone in the house was sound asleep, she teleported herself directly into Percy's room. She slowly advanced toward the sleeping form. She placed her hand gently on Percy's forehead.
Suddenly she was sucked into a dream which Percy was having at that moment. The goddess was surprised for no one could make a goddess to watch she had not intended to see, but here she was watching the dream which the hero was experiencing. It was within the woods, she immediately recognized the forest to be the one near the wolf house where the Roman demigods meet the wolf, Lupa. Then she saw a boy who had the feature of Hermes badly wounded and saw Lupa pounce on the boy. Percy was waking up. The goddess was trapped she could not teleport herself out; if she did she would end up killing Percy. If she stayed she would have to explain about her presence in a man's room that to being so close to him. She convinced herself that she would make some excuse or as intelligent Percy was, he would not notice such a thing at all. But when she saw Percy's face she forgot everything and was completely filled with concern. She immediately felt Eros's arrows go through her and Percy, there was a new light in Percy's eyes just as in her own. Her last thought before giving up to the arrows lust was that she was doomed…no they were doomed.
Everything went so fast, the two of them were lost in the drunkenness of lust, none seemed to register what he or she was doing to the other, nothing mattered to them but the act they were performing. Did any of them know what it would bring? And the consequences would be far bigger than any expectations and they weren't prepared about what will be falling on them. Maybe except the archer who shot them, if they could grab him later?
