A/N: I do not own any rights to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, it all goes to the great author Rick Riordan. I only own the story.
Percy
I finished eating breakfast the same time that the Hunters and Lady Artemis finished eating. So I got up and cleared the table as the girls left, but Lady Artemis stayed behind.
"Perseus, after you are done washing the dishes, please meet me by my tent, I need to show you were the laundry will be done and where the weapons tent is." She said, I bowed and she left.
I finished doing the dishes fairly quickly, using my power over water and then steaming the water with flames to sanitize the dishes. I then met Lady Artemis by her tent, and she showed me the way to a nearby stream where a huge, and I mean HUGE pile of dirty clothes were.
"Percy, wash the clothes in the water and then hang them up to dry after that go to the weapons tent and sharpen all of the arrows." She said pointing to a tent at the end of the loop of the Hunter's tents.
Again, I did as I was told. I tried to create a washing machine effect with the clothes by grabbing a handful and spinning them in the water. That didn't work to well, they all ended up tangled in each other. So I had to wash all of the articles of clothing one by one. Now hanging them up to dry, that was hard. At first, I didn't see anything that I would use to hang something up with. Then I saw some cables and a note.
Percy, connect the cables from tree trunk to tree trunk and then hang them up.
-Lady Artemis
At first when I tried hanging up one of the cables, it fell down, then after a few more tries, I got it and started to hang the damp clothes.
While the clothes were drying, I decided to get the arrows out of the way. I stepped into the weapon's tent and was amazed at how big it was. It looked smaller on the outside than it was on the inside and in the back of the tent was again a HUGE pile of dull arrows. The was a wet-stone by the pile that I would have to use to sharpen them. It took me up until lunch time to get all of the arrows sharp.
At lunch time, the girls and Lady Artemis asked for salads and chicken sandwiches which I served them and myself.
After lunch and cleaning the dishes, I went back to the river and folded all of the clean and dry clothes. I put the folded up clothes in Laundry bags and placed them in front of the respected Hunters tent, for I wasn't allowed in the tent's unless I was invited.
So after I gave the Hunters back their clean clothes, I went up to Lady Artemis and asked if she need anything to be done. "Lady Artemis, is there anything that needs to be done or that you would like me to do?"
"Percy, since you are in the Hunt, lets see how well you can shoot a bow and arrow. Meet me by the lake in 10 minutes." She said. I bowed as she left.
I went into my tent and decided to change out of what I was wearing. I kept my t-shirt on and changed into a pair of black basketball shorts. I noticed that almost all of my clothing was either silver, black, blue or green. And the pants were almost always either khaki's or basketball shorts and were mostly black. I strapped my weapons back on to my back, (never know when you are going to need them) and cleaned up my tent. Making my bed, which I almost never do, straightening the things on my desk, which were extra weapons that I didn't always carry with me, like throwing knives, a sword and some other small knives.
By the time I was done cleaning my tent, Thalia yelled, "Kelp Head, Lady Artemis is waiting for you by the lake, she doesn't like to wait on people, expecially men."
I hurried out and almost knocked her over in the process, but steadied her fast before she could fall in the blink of a eye and then I was out of sight and soon walking up to the lake.
"Okay, Perseus. Let's see how well you are at archery. I've been told you are horrible at it. Let's see if I can improve that. Where is you bow and arrow?" She said.
I pulled my bow off of my back and also a arrow. "Okay, knock your arrow and take aim. Don't shoot until I say so." she said. I did as she told me and she came up to be and was right beside me. "Raise your arm just a little bit, loosen your grip on the arrow." As she said this, she adjust my arm and I could feel myself blush.
Artemis
I have to admit, Percy Jackson is hopeless with a bow and arrow. I had to adjust his arm and tell him to loosen his grip on the arrow. His knuckles were white from holding the arrow on the string. When I adjusted his arm, I could see that he was blushing, and I too was trying to not blush. I should not feel any emotion towards Perseus.
"Okay, release the arrow." I said.
He let the arrow go and I was amazed that it hit the target, not quite a bullseye, but close, he was in the red. I looked at him, and he looked impressed with himself.
"I actually hit the target, that's a first." he said.
"Now, try again, without my help." I said.
No One
Percy knocked another arrow, aimed and then fired. This time, again he hit the target. But all of a sudden, Percy shuddered and fell to the ground. When Percy fell to the ground, Artemis rushed to his side. But what Artemis didn't know, Percy was having a visitation from Chaos.
Percy
All of a sudden, my head started pounding and then it went away as I realized that I had blacked out.
Percy I am sorry that I have to visit you like this and do this to your body. But there is news that I need to tell you.
"What happened do you mean by 'do this to your body', what did you do to me?" I asked as I looked around. We were in a white room and Chaos was sitting on a throne made of pure blackness.
Percy, you are just blacked out right now, but that's all that I can tell you about how you are here. Your body maybe shaking on the outside. And what may seem like seconds spent with me, actually is hours in real life, again I'm sorry that this has to happen. But the news that I have to tell you is this, there are Demigods that are from both the Roman and Greek camps, joining forces with the monsters. I'm not for sure why, but just be warned. None of the Olympians know of this and I'm pretty sure that they will soon discuss this in their next meeting. But that is all that I can say. I have to leave. By the way, you are now a master of archery. Good bye.
I was confused, but what Chaos said made sense. I could never shoot a bow and arrow and hit the target before, but now that I was blessed by Chaos, I was a master of Archery. My vision went cloudy, the room and throne disappeared and when my vision cleared I was staring up at a crying Artemis.
"Lady Artemis, why are you crying, what happened?" I said as I stood up. I realized that I was back in my tent and Lady Artemis and all of the other Hunters where there. Thalia and Artemis were the only ones that were crying. But the other Hunters were looking worried.
Sorry about this chapter being short, but I'm a little stuck on how the rest of the story is going to go. We just learned that Lady Artemis has showed some feelings for Percy, but that's all that I am going to say. Stay tuned for the next chapter and please review.
