Artemis's POV

The news of boys in the hunt traveled fast. Percy found 11 recruits that will be leaving camp with us tomorrow. I saw most of them moving their belongings into Percy's cabin. I noticed the mischievous Stoll brothers were among them. My huntresses are not going to like that. I saw Percy pat the son of Hades on the back before he ran off to the Hades cabin. I noticed that he had gold cuffs on his wrists. I see Percy chose his younger cousin as his lieutenant. I remember when I took his sister into my hunt. I wonder why he would join the hunt from which his sister died. I thought he took her death hard.

I shook the thought away when I saw Percy coming up to me.

"Hey, I got some pretty good recruits, don't you think?"

"Yes, but I think the Stoll brothers will cause a prank war between my hunters and the boys."

"I don't doubt it…" He put his arm around my waist and I couldn't help but blush. He is the first boy in centuries that made me feel this way. I would curse Aphrodite, but I really do like him. I looked into his sea green eyes and could almost melt.

I felt him lean in and his lips pressed against mine. I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't realize that we had an eavesdropper.

Annabeth's POV

I came out of the Artemis cabin to get away from the hunters. I needed time to think to myself. I never wanted to join the hunters before for the thought of having to give up boys. There was Luke, then… Percy… I could never stay faithful it seems. I flipped between Percy and Luke so many times. I finally chose one and then I leave him for a stupid job. I actually got yelled at a lot because of my lack of focus so I quit, which is why I never left to go back to Greece. I rounded the corner that lead to the Amphitheatre and saw Percy talking to Artemis. I put on my Yankees cap and watched.

He wrapped his arm around her waist and I saw her blush. He leaned in and they kissed. I heard thunder rumble off in the distance and they both broke apart and laughed.

"We really should go somewhere more private so Father won't interrupt us." Artemis stated.

"I guess so, but I just got caught up in the moment."

She gave him a playful punch. "Let's go back to Olympus because we are leaving tomorrow to go hunting and the girls will be pleased to train the boys."

"Alright, but we're going to my palace."

"Don't we always? I haven't been to my palace in a few days now."

He laughed. "True, but I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page."

"Alright then let's go."

He grabbed her hand, but not before giving a quick glance in my direction. He seemed to be looking right at me. Then he began to glow. I averted my eyes before I got incinerated.

I just looked at the spot where they were before I was snapped out of my thoughts by Thalia calling my name.

Percy's POV

We arrived at my palace. I remembered looking right at the spot where I felt a presence. Only one person I knew could turn invisible. Annabeth. Why was she spying on us? Why did she even bother to join the hunt? Why hasn't she gone back to her job? I was knocked out of my thoughts by Artemis.

"Percy, is everything alright?" I suddenly felt relief flow over me. Artemis was calming me by pulling on the tides in a slow calming manner with her powers of over the moon.

"Now everything's fine… thanks." I gave her a reassuring smile.

"No problem, you just looked… stressed."

"I don't know. How did you feel when I said it was okay for Annabeth to join your hunters?"

"Honestly, it didn't bother me because I knew you are over her. Why do you ask?"

"I think she was spying on us why we were talking before. I don't think her main purpose to join the hunt was for her to be with Thalia. Why did she even bother to join the hunt and why hasn't she gone back to her job yet? I just don't get it."

"Well, we could see how this all plays out. We'll have to keep a close eye on things and I'll have to keep a close eye on you." She poked me in the chest and smirked.

I grabbed her hand. "Fine, fine, but you can trust me you know."

"I know, I just can't trust Aphrodite. If she messes with us, I will personally pay her a visit."

"I know you will, but nothing has happened yet so we need to just stay calm. We have hunters to worry about now and we can come here or go to camp whenever we need to get away. Remember I am the new camp director and still have to go there."

"I know, I guess you're right."

"Guess?"

"Oh shut up." She punched me in the arm. I fake pouted and she kissed my cheek. "Better?"

I just smiled and rolled my eyes. We got up from the couch in my living room and made our way to the kitchen. I went to the fridge to get us some drinks.

"Oh, here's something. Annabeth did say it restocks itself. It looks like water." I said. There was two strange glasses filled with something that looked like just regular water. I handed one to Artemis. She thanked me and we both drank some. I started to fill dizzy. I started to think that that wasn't just regular water. The last thing I remember was seeing Artemis in front of me.
