Hello my lovelies! I'm back with another chapter and I know, I know, been a while but what can you do? Trust that I won't abandon but as I said in the first chapter, updates can be pretty random but I'll deliver! This sight needs good smuts dammit!
Quick Thing: I wrote this because I'm bored of the usual smuts that lack that little 'umph' to really make them all that entertaining. Chicks are too easy to gather and unrealistic at times (even considering special circumstances for some), girls in the harems become shallow or forgotten, and plenty is left wanting. Plus many have lemons that are rewashed repeats of something that already happened just for the sake of adding a lemon.
Not here! Lemons are significant and either build on a relationship or culminate for something, couples vary and don't revolve solely on the protagonist. There are ups and downs, and all sorts of emotions and irrational actions here as well as a plot and overall goal to it for your viewing pleasures (hint-hint).
Also, I'm touching on all sorts of sexual tastes and situations. Couples, threesome, foursome, orgy. Mostly yuri but there will be males even if not directly with Penny (being strictly lesbian in regards to sexuality), Artemis, and a few others either due to preference, oath, or other circumstances. Also BDSM, role-play (some extreme cases but those have warning), maybe under-aged (I've read some more questionable stories and so the lowest I will go is 13-14 at best, and that's still an if at best) and other types of sexual situations.
If you aren't comfortable with these, either skip the section, chapter, or simply don't read. I'm not here to force you but at the same time while I take opinions and suggestions, I won't just accept every want and complaint. So please, make sure you know what you're reading and try to enjoy.
Disclaimer: I only own the plot.
Penny slowly stirred as a ray of light seemed to pointedly streak right over her eyes, making her grumble slightly before she relented and opened her eyes. Golden curls shining in said light where the first thing she saw as she became intimately aware of the smaller and warm feminine body pressed up against her. She smiled as she slowly propped her head up on her hand and looked down at her princess, carefully tucking some loose hair out of the way so she could get a better look at Annabeth's sleeping face.
Her eyes then trailed down the sensual frame of her girlfriend oh so generously displayed by the sheets only just reaching to their hips. Penny couldn't help herself as she used her free hand to lazily trail down over the skin from Annabeth's shoulder to her hip, enjoying the slight shiver her princess gave as a result. It got even better when she leaned forward and lightly kissed the back of Annabeth's neck, earning a faint moan before Annabeth rolled over to look at Penny with a small smile.
"Morning," she murmured, still partly asleep much to Penny's amusement.
"Good morning," Penny replied before getting a morning kiss, her arm snaking around the demigod's waist to pull her closer.
Annabeth started to get more eager as the seconds turned to minutes but then she pulled back much to Penny's disappointment.
"I'm sore," Annabeth whined softly as she nuzzled into Penny's bosom, looking very eager to go back to sleep in the pillowy warmth.
Penny giggled at how adorable Annabeth was being. "Here, let me handle that," she said as her hand moved from Annabeth's waist to slinking between her thighs, teasingly caressing the sensitive lower lips of her little princess. Annabeth gave off a whimper that was half between want and discomfort but didn't object as Penny slipped on finger in before a soft, pink glow came from her hand. In seconds Annabeth released a content sigh, any tension in her frame dissipating as relief washed over her.
"There, all done and healed, no discomfort for the next few days," she chirped before giving Annabeth another peck of a kiss, though she frowned soon afterwards as she thought about their new predicament.
Annabeth noticed it and leaned her head back to look Penny in the eyes before asking, "What's on your mind?"
Penny sighed before caressing Annabeth's cheek. "I don't want to risk losing you again but the Hunt is only visiting."
"Well, what if I join the Hunt?" Annabeth asked.
"It would mean you taking a similar oath to mine and you'd also have to participate as a hunter. It would be odd for you to suddenly hang out with me and draw unnecessary attention," Penny countered.
"But we could slowly work towards it," Annabeth replied. "Single girl needing to get away from it all after a nasty breakup, running around and turning monsters into pincushions. Sounds about right."
"The Hunt thinks the breakup was your fault though so you might have upset some of their views on how guys are supposed to be the heartbreakers," Penny said with a slight frown.
"So what? I can explain how it happened and we know it was foul play on several of the gods' part. Besides, camp has become rather dull in the last few months even before our 'break up'. I think some exploring and getting to rediscover my girlfriend is just what the doctor order," Annabeth replied with a big smile as she moved around until she was sitting on Penny lap, leaving all her glory exposed to Penny's hungry eyes.
"Fine, you win, as always," Penny answered in mock frustration even as her lips formed a smile. "But we'll have to let Artemis know and I'm pretty sure as soon as we leave the camp we can start expecting Aphrodite to join us during the nights. I spoiled her with sleeping company so she won't be keen on giving that up."
"As long as she doesn't try to hog you I don't mind," Annabeth replied making Penny smile before it turned into a devious smirk.
Before Annabeth could react Penny flipped them around, pinning the demigoddess down as Penny looked into Annabeth's eyes.
"Then it's settled and now, I believe I'm going to teach you the pleasures of morning sex," Penny said in a husky voice before capturing Annabeth's lips with her own, her hands quickly moving to caress the mortal's body earning soft moans…
It took a few hours, making use of a private bath in the room and Penny snapping a brunch into existence for them before she willed a door to appear leading out the back of the Aphrodite cabin. It was getting close to noon and lunch had already been served so Penny and Annabeth needed to be discreet about letting others see them appearing together. Luckily Annabeth was usually out late, usually to visit Chiron or sometimes train alone, and tended to wake before he cabin so they wouldn't be asking questions about where their counselor had been.
Penny herself already tended to go on solo missions ever since the 'death' of Percy so none of the hunters would bug her much about not arriving last night either and if they did Artemis would cover pretty well. So, knowing they were secure for the moment both walked towards the amphitheater, each splitting and not minding some of the attention they gathered as they joined their respective tables. Penny smiled and waved, being immediately accosted by Kelly as the ball of energy let her curiosity fly. Penny humored her, exchanging a quick look with Artemis all the while.
Said goddess looked off pointedly to Annabeth before returning her gaze to Penny, letting the newest goddess know that her current mistress knew what she had been up to the night before. Once lunch wrapped up and the Hunt headed for the archery range Artemis pulled Penny off to the side so the pair could speak in privacy.
"I thought the plan was to leave her out of it," Artemis started, looking slightly upset though Penny wasn't exactly sure why.
"It was but … well, I found her alone and crying and then we talked," she answered as she looked across the fields, spotting the Athena cabin practicing sword forms in a clear path not too far from the archery range. "She was so heartbroken and after what she said I just couldn't stop myself and it felt so right. Makes me remember why I worked so hard to get Athena's approval for her hand in marriage the first time," she finished with a warm smile.
Artemis' displeasure seemed to melt while looking at Penny, a more understanding look appearing in her eyes.
"So what now?" she asked softly as she followed Penny's gaze, both spotting Annabeth as she helped some of her siblings.
"I was hoping she could join the Hunt with the same oath as mine," Penny offered while looking at her mistress intently.
"I'm guessing she is already aware of that possibility," Artemis said with a sigh before nodding slowly. "It could work but some of the hunters may be wary of her after all is said and done."
"But in the end they'll accept her just like the rest. Besides, she's a strong demigod and with both Thalia and I vouching for her so she'll be fine."
"True enough though what about your … activities?" Artemis asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Hmm … I could create a door linking my tent to hers," Penny offered before pouting. "But that would mean that she would need to go back to hers every night when I want her to stay with me."
"And I thought I would only have to avoid waking you up if Aphrodite was in," Artemis muttered but Penny caught it.
"Why would that matter? It's not like I or Aphy care if you see us in the buff the morning after," Penny said but Artemis only gave a slight blush as she looked away.
"Regardless," she said hastily. "We can discuss more in depth later. For now get to practicing. We have capture the flag tonight and I expect a flawless victory."
"Yes captain," Penny replied cheerily before shoving off to join the other hunters, feeling giddy for tonight's game … and laying the hurt on Ares cabin.
Later That Evening
Penny slowly stalked along the woods of surrounding the west side of the camp, her breath misting in the cool night. She patrolled along ahead of a cluster of three other hunters, using the same pattern with two other groups lead by Thalia and Phoebe. Having spent some time with the Hunt and already making a reputation with herself as a top tier fighter (and having several spars with Artemis while in clear view much to their disbelief), she was quickly moved up in the loose ranks of the Hunt. Sure, by seniority it was only polite to refer to the huntresses that had been there longer but in the heat of combat or possible missions, it would largely be Thalia, Phoebe, and Artemis herself that could order her around.
Leadership aside, Penny had been entrusted to take the southern edge of the forest closest to the creek. The Hunt had gone with a stealth intent (blame a recent movie night featuring Rambo of all things). So their game was to silently eliminate as many of the campers as they could before getting to the flag and make it an utterly humiliating defeat. She could practically taste the nerves coming off the campers since they were used to the Hunt attacking in swift mass to overwhelm them while one or two snuck through.
Now the campers were likely waiting on their side with baited breath, wondering where the Hades the Hunt was. Of course there were some scout teams as well … which just so happened to stumble a few meters in front of Penny. She hunkered down as she listened to the rather loud movement of some campers (Two Ares, and one Hermes kid) as they looked around with their weapons at the ready.
Penny grinned as she went to all fours and moved like a jungle cat, slinking closer to her 'prey'. Idly, she was pretty sure she could feel three sets of eyes on her ass as she moved, making her smirk and add a little more sway to her movement. Unofficially, she was also the eye candy of the Hunt and rather enjoyed getting the girls to blush around her, some going as far as being caught nearly eye humping her. Aphrodite was literally squealing with pride when she learned about it much to Artemis' indignation.
She noticed a fist size rock off to her side and had her grin turned almost maniac as she hefted it while getting an idea. Waiting until none of the boys had their eyes in her direction she tossed it far over their heads and to a tree on the other side. The rock struck with a loud thud and fell, creating more noise as all three demigods jumped.
"What was that!?" one of them practically squeaked but under the cover of the noise she got closer to the camper at the back.
Without a sound her hands lashed out, one over the mouth, the other free arm locking into a choke hold as she pulled back into the bushes … just as the rock hit the ground.
"A rock?" the remaining Ares kid muttered while the Hermes kid checked it, neither yet realizing they were down one.
Said demigod was vainly thrashing in Penny's arms, his mouth gagged with a mistiform cloth while she quickly strangled him. Luckily a quick spell silenced any noise and left his two comrades completely unaware. What? It was perfectly achievable for a child of Hecate so she couldn't be called a cheater, she just performed the spell faster and more effectively is all. A few seconds later the struggling stopped and Penny released the demigod to her side.
Making sure he was safely out she got up and stalked up to the two Ares kids with an exaggerated tip-toeing, her advanced godly hearing catching the barely restrained giggling of the three hunters tailing her. She grinned before putting her hands together and as she separated them, formed multiple hoes out of Mist. She set them around, one right behind the demigods as they paused, and then ducked silently behind a tree to their side and out of view.
"Nick, you been quiet. What, the rock got you too scared?" one of the Ares kids said as he turned around only to see nothing. "Nick?"
"The Hades," the other kid muttered as he also turned, looking around in confusion.
As they continued to try and look she snuck up behind them again, only this time Riptide was out, the silvery blade almost glowing in the night. She paused for a moment, looking down at the two boys butts. 'Hmm … the one on the right definitely has more junk,' she mused with a calculating gleam in her eyes. The boy was decently large and broad, especially with the wide ass. He'd probably be the wide receiver in football. Coincidentally, if in prison he'd carry the same job. Before carrying through she made more hoes and set them around the two boys.
Her choice taken she moved over a little and angled the flat side of Riptide towards the demigod on her right side. She moved Riptide back and forth lightly for a few moments before tugging back, taking a full batting position, and then swung. She swung true and the crack of metal meeting ass echoed throughout the forest as the demigod yelped while she dove into a bush.
"Wha-Argh!" demigod on left shouted as he watched his brother get launched forward and stepped after him only to step on the upturned end of a hoe, coincidently causing it to flip up and smack him in the face.
Demigod receiver, as she so dubbed him, caught himself in a stumble and turned while gripping his ass with a blush that practically glowed.
"Eric, what's wrong?" he asked as he walked to his brother that was clutching at his face … and didn't see the hoe in front of him.
"AAAYYEEE!" the demigod named as Eric replied, his very squeaky cry making Penny wince.
The hoe his brother had stepped on … just so happened to be between Eric's legs. The hoe sprung up with a swift wind and like a puppet without strings Eric crumpled, clutching at his ruptured tatter tots with a pitiful cry. Receiver looked around him, having finally noticed the hoes as his blush diminished before scowling and drawing his sword with a growl.
"Who the fuck is out there!" he yelled around him, kicking away the hoes.
'Well, now he's getting too loud and I don't want the other campers coming here,' she thought as she stepped out of the bushes, earning the demigod's attention.
"You!" he spat even as his eyes obviously roamed over her body.
Great. Now she wanted to shower.
"I'll get you for this," he nearly hissed as he pointed his sword at her, making her roll her eyes.
She kept Riptide at her side as she waited for him to attack and she didn't need to wait long. With an obvious overhead swing he came to which she sidestepped, coincidently kicking his downed brother's face. When he came back with a cross swing she ducked under it, not even one of her hairs being caught in it. Deciding that playing with him like this wasn't really getting her anywhere she stepped into his guard and before he could react, drove the pommel of her sword into his forehead.
The blow sent him reeling back as he dropped limp. She then looked at the still whimpering one down beside her and put him out of his misery with a swift kick. She really didn't have any sympathy for these two, she's already seen them bullying and near molesting several of the Aphrodite girls. Done with that she moved on but paused as three sharp whistled carried through the forest in rapid succession. That was the signal to go for the kill and win this meaning that most, if not all scouts from the camp side had been taken out on their side of the forest.
Grinning like a shark she dashed off, the three hunters following close behind her. She ran through the forest with practiced ease, making sure her speed was only a little higher than what would be expected of a hunter but still slow enough for her fellow hunters to more or less keep up. Soon enough she broke into a clearing just before the creek but off to a secluded side but paused at what she found, her earlier fun stopping cold and replaced with anger.
There she saw a good six or so of the Ares kids (she would have said boys but was shocked to see two of them being girls) surrounding Drew, Tracy … and Adri! She also barely noticed that she had in fact passed through a barrier meant to keep demigods out and keep what happens inside just that, inside. It was a shitty piece of work if given her opinion, just basically thrown together with some power. Any proper immortal would be able to rip it apart with a causal wave but rather than do that, she narrowed her eyes on the smirking Ares kids circling in on the crying Adri desperately holding onto Tracy while Drew held up a shaky sword.
It didn't take a genius to know what was about to happen and it filled Penny with seething rage. With a thought and wave of her hands she hijacked the control of the barrier, something only a mistress of magic such as Hecate or herself could really do, and then strengthened it while adding a layer to keep gods out too. She glanced back and couldn't see them but knew the three hunters that were following her were just a ways back, unable to come closer and just too far to be able to see either.
Knowing that, she created another mistiform hummingbird with a note telling them what was happening and to call for Artemis while she handled the Ares campers. She'd lower the part of the barrier keeping gods out once Artemis was close enough, but for now, she had campers to break.
"Hey!" she called as she stalked forward, gaining the campers' attention, her sword held tightly in her right hand.
"Oh lookie, another one," the largest and probably oldest of the Ares kids said with a lecherous smirk as his siblings chuckled while also eyeing her. That was the first time she found another girls gaze to be less than flattering.
"I'd give you a chance to apologize," she started, still moving forward and not at all bothered by being outnumbered. "But you wouldn't have given them a choice to leave untouched and wouldn't have cared for pleas of mercy."
By now the boy's smirk was gone, instead with an angry glare. "Typical hunter bitch. Well, you'll be singing a different tune soon enough," he said with his sword at the ready.
She didn't say anything to that, instead stalking forward as her eyes started to glow in shades of grey and streaks of green. She wasn't about to play around or even humor these dogs (bitches included for the two girls), instead, it was meant to be a slaughter.
"Adri, close your eyes," she ordered and the little girl instantly obeyed, even going a step further and burying her face in her sister's chest.
"Like that will help," the leader shouted as he rushed forward with a wide swing.
Penny saw it coming though and swung back with Riptide, the blade gleaming in the night. With a clash and shower of sparks the swords met for all of a second before the force behind Penny's blow knocked the Ares kid's sword clean out of his hands and possibly snapped his wrist along with it.
"What," he muttered but before he could say any more Penny swung Riptide again, this time cutting off his sword hand while her blade was alit with Greek fire, instantly cauterizing the wound as he screamed bloody murder.
"ROB!" his siblings cried as some charged but that just brought them to Penny sooner.
She charged at them, Riptide still covered in fire. One of the boys tried to make a stab with a spear but she stepped out of the way and closer to him, driving Riptide through his left leg right at the knee. Wrenching it out she cut across his chest from hip to shoulder, deep enough to seriously injure and scar but not immediately lethal. She then spun around and parried another sword from one of the girls this time.
She snarled at the girl and lashed out with a fist from her left, impacting and breaking the jaw of the large girl as she was sent almost clean off her feet. She then turned on the other girl with a jump, bringing Riptide down and cutting clean through the spear and going on to partially cut the helmet right over the left eye and down. The girl screamed as she dropped her broken weapon and held her bleeding face but Penny wasn't having it as she mercilessly kicked at the girl's ribs, a satisfying snap ringing out as the girl was knocked over to wheeze another scream.
Turning on the last two boys that were shaking like leaves she gave them a twisted grin, making sure that their nightmares would feature her from now on. She then charged them, the closest bringing up his shield but she smirked as she swung at it. With glee she watched as Riptide landed, the blow popping the demigod's shoulder clean out of the socket as he screamed out in pain while his arm fell limp at his side. She then closed in and with solid aim, kicked straight up between his legs and even heard a real pop as she lifted him off the ground.
As that demigod passed out from pain alone she turned on the last boy that looked like he was ready to drop. She stalked closer to him slowly, like a predator about to go for the kill, as he dropped to his knees and left the weapons tossed to his sides.
"Please," he whimpered as he lowered his head to the ground. "Have mercy …" he begged.
"You wouldn't have had mercy would you?" she asked as she neared him before stepping on his head hard enough to make him yelp. "You wouldn't have stopped regardless of how much they begged so why should I show you any mercy?" she snarled down at him before an idea came to her. "Swear to them."
"W-what?" he asked shakily, unable to raise his head to look at her.
"Swear on your life and the Styx to becoming the slave of the Aphrodite cabin. Their command is your law. You can't hurt them in any way, directly or by proxy, and are duty bound to serve them in any way, even if it means laying down your life," she ordered, just barely stopping herself from using charmspeak to get him to agree.
"I-I …"
She added more pressure on his head while her sword tip pressed against the back of his neck.
"I swear! I swear on your conditions!" he cried before a loud crack of thunder boomed throughout the forest.
"Get up trash," she said, taking her foot off him as she noticed Artemis had just stepped through the barrier and the distinct sound of the victory horn sounding in the distance.
"My lady," Penny said curtly as she turned and dropped to one knee as Artemis approached, looking just as livid as Penny was feeling.
Artemis looked at the crippled and crying demigods around the ground in vicious approval before her gaze became soft as she looked at the three terrified daughters of Aphrodite. She then looked directly at Penny and asked, "Can you tell whose barrier this was?"
"Ares, no doubt," Penny replied as she looked at the downed demigods. "I'm just glad he was dumb enough to try this on the same day we were here, if not," she shivered in revulsion at the thought.
"Agreed," Artemis said with a nod before she took out a silver knife as she glanced at the three daughters of Aphrodite. "Girls, I'm going to need you to leave now. Don't worry, the game is over and the Hunt has already been informed of what's going on. They should be just beyond the barrier to escort you three out of the forest."
Tracy and Drew shared a glance before nodding and standing shakily but then Adri looked at Penny with a tear streaked face. "Can Penny come with us?" she asked softly.
Artemis and Penny looked at each other before Artemis nodded to Penny. Taking the leave of permission Penny walked towards the three, Adri immediately jumping to her so Penny picked her up and carried the scared little girl, walking with the three out of the barrier, knowing exactly what Artemis had planned for the six, even the Aphrodite cabin's new slave…
Twenty minutes later just about all the demigods were outside the forest and looking in, Chiron at the head of the group shuffling nervously while waiting for Artemis to arrive. Even Dionysus was present and sweating like a little pig in a blanket, knowing that Artemis was royally pissed since even the demigods could feel a pressure coming out of the forest. Off to one side all hunters were formed up around Penny, Adri still in her arms, with surprisingly the Aphrodite cabin being closest to them. The hunters even tolerated the sons being close but only because they were trying to give support to their scared sisters.
Though the hunters were aware of what exactly was going on, they hadn't said so much as a peep to the rest of the camp. However when Penny had locked eyes with Annabeth she had sent a small mental probe, merely telling the demigoddess that they would talk later. Getting a nod Penny had refocused on the little girl in her arms, going as far as to discretely channel Hestia's blessing through her to help soothe the youngest member of the Aphrodite cabin.
Thankfully the wait didn't last much longer as they spotted movement coming from the forest. With rapt silence they watched as Artemis appeared, immaculate and not a hair out of place, even as she dragged six bodies by ropes behind her. Some campers lost their stomachs and Penny made sure Adri's eyes were closed.
"Been a while since I performed a proper castration," Artemis commented with a slight growl as she stopped closest to the hunters with her disfigured prizes.
Each male sporting horrendous amounts of blood over their crotches. Penny also noticed a pouch at Artemis' waist that she was sure hadn't been there before. However she returned her attention to the crippled Ares campers, spotting for the first time that the two girls had specific splotches of blood around the waist line. Giving a surprised look to Artemis the goddess shrugged as if saying, 'what can you do?'
"Chiron, Dionysus," Artemis snapped up, causing the mentioned and good bit of the campers to jump at her voice. "Any particular reason such a large section of the forest was left unwatched?" Then her gaze turned to the cowed campers, even the remaining Ares campers. "Or why no one was close enough to watch after each other?"
The heads of the camp shuffled nervously at her stare, Dionysus shooting desperate looks to Chiron. The old centaur sighed before addressing Artemis. "My lady, I have to ask, what exactly did they do?" he asked while gesturing to the unconscious demigods.
"They attempted to rape three of your charges," Penny spoke up, her own usually musical voice sound far harsher, with a hint of danger to it. "Luckily I arrived beforehand otherwise they wouldn't even be alive right now."
"What do you—" one of the Ares campers, some brunette boy that looked like his diet consisted of raw meat more than anything, spoke up before Penny cut him off.
"Exactly as it sounds. If I have arrived after or during their attempts, I would have killed them," she said, almost snarling at the end as her eyes briefly flashed making her that much more intimidating.
Some of the campers squirmed under her intense gaze as the Ares child in question growled but didn't make a move towards her before there was some rumbling overhead drawing their attention. It thundered for a while before a bolt rent through the sky making Artemis sigh as she looked to Penny.
"It seems a council meeting has been called to discuss this. Most likely Ares is making a stink about it but don't worry," she said looking at the near victims with a softer gaze. "He won't touch any of you and trust me, your mother is more than capable of putting Ares in his place, especially after what he tried to do today."
That comment on Aphrodite's handling of the situation caused some low scoffs of disbelief from more than just Ares' kids but a sharp glare from Artemis quickly shut them up. Then, with a warning flash to make sure most save Penny looked away, she was going in a flash of gold with Dionysus following soon after. Then a tense silence feel on the campers as some shock nervous looks around before Penny sighed drawing attention to herself.
"Hunt, back to the cabin," she said evenly though many of the Hunt responded as if it had been an order.
Normally it would have been Thalia or perhaps Phoebe to give instructions like that but after Penny had proved herself in hunting and combat, especially by beating Thalia and Phoebe at the same time much to the both their chagrin, and her personal experience had moved her quickly through the hierarchy of the Hunt. She still differed to them in they stepped up but she could also throw in her weight from time to time.
So, seeing as the Hunt was already moving she nodded to Thalia before walking with the Aphrodite cabin to make sure no one bothered them on the way there. Once most were in she turned her attention to the child still in her arms that was happily snuggled into Penny's bosom.
"Adri … Adri," she whispered gently while slightly shaking the child but all she got was a sleepy muttered about being sleepy and the child in question holding on tighter.
She sighed even as her lips quirked up and turned to head back to her own cabin, deciding that Adri could just sleep with her for the night before her green streaked, grey eyes landed on bright, steely grey ones. Her princess was waiting just a little off from the Aphrodite cabin, hip cocked to the side and arms crossed under her bust as she looked at Penny with a small smile which Penny returned as she walked up to her.
"Hey," Annabeth began softly, glancing at the sleeping child in Penny's arms.
"Hey yourself," Penny returned as she adjusted Adri around until the little girl's head was on her shoulder before returning her attention to Annabeth. "Shouldn't you be returning into your cabin?"
"Counselor perks," Annabeth returned with a sexy little smirk before her eyes softened up. "How are you doing, really?"
Penny sighed before answering, "Honestly, I had half a mind to outright kill the shits and go on with the rest of the cabin but not all his kids are that bad. I'm just glad I got to them in time," she said softly as she glanced at the child in her arms before a small frown formed on her face. "I think we're getting more than just you as a new member to the Hunt after this."
"You think Drew and Tracy will want to join too?" Annabeth asked as the pair walked together in the direction of the Athena cabin since Artemis was next over.
"Probably though Tracey is a little closer with her siblings so she might stay," Penny replied as she smirked slightly. "Can't say I'm against it since Drew is adorable when you get her flustered."
"Down girl," Annabeth cut in with a playful glare. She then glanced at Adri to make sure she was asleep and then at her cabin they'd arrived at. Seeing no one she abruptly turned to Penny and kissed her, being mindful of Adri in Penny's arms.
Penny squeaked in surprise but welcomed the contact that was all too brief in her opinion as her princess gave her a smirk.
"I just got you back and even if I have to share, it doesn't mean I can't be a little more … active in getting time with you before more girls come along."
"And the goddesses?" Penny asked curiously to which Annabeth just gave a saucy smirk.
"Well, I hope they can keep up," she replied in a whisper, feigning to kiss Penny which only made the hidden goddess whine slightly as Annabeth turned and sashayed her way back into her cabin with Penny's eyes firmly nailed to her ass.
"Oh I'll get her for that," Penny murmured even as her blush died down before shaking her head wistfully and continuing on towards the Artemis cabin.
Moving silently she soon made it in, passing a brief glance with Thalia and a few of the senior members that had remained up until everyone was back. They didn't really need any explanation for Adri's presence, already knowing what the girl had gone through so they waited as Penny completed the tricky task of changing herself and Adri into sleepwear while the little girl was still clinging on. If only she could use her powers and change instantly but, even if in Artemis' cabin and away from the sight of other gods, the hunters were still present.
Still, once done she settled into bed while using Aphrodite's youngest daughter (at the camp) as an oversized teddy bear before finally getting to sleep as the last hunters awake turned off the lights and blanketed them in darkness. And as she finally dozed off, Penny couldn't help but get the feeling that today's events would have all sorts of consequences, most likely centered around her given her luck…
Penny groaned as she stretched, having just finished a morning run with the rest of the Hunt. The other girls each went off on their own ways, some back to the cabin, others to the archery range, and so forth leaving Penny with some peace and quiet. Granted waking up had been eventful since Adri seemed to be a morning person and extremely energetic at that to the point the little scamp had been running around in the cabin because she was so curious about it. It got to the point other hunters were considering tying her up to a bed post. Luckily Penny stepped in before anyone could make good on such threats.
The morning had still been somewhat tense in camp with Mr. D only returning later on almost after breakfast and not looking too happy at all judging by his grumbling. Still he hadn't been too forthcoming so everyone save Chiron was in the dark about the happenings of last night. Penny herself was quite curious but was patient knowing that Aphrodite or Artemis would come and inform her soon enough. However she was broken out of her thoughts as she felt three familiar signatures flash together into the amphitheater shortly followed by a horn signaling for the campers to gather.
Penny quickly made her way there to smile at seeing Artemis, Aphrodite, and Hestia there much to her confusion. Still, she held back from approaching knowing that they were here for business at the moment and stood by as the rest of the campers gather in less than ten minutes, all looking to the three goddesses.
"Campers," Hestia spoke up, her voice clearly caring across the crowd. "It has come to our attention that the supervision and security of the camp has fallen drastically as of late with a horrible crime almost happening," she continued, a slight growl to her voice at the mention of the near crime. "Though the perpetrators have been punished, the fact that it could happen again is not acceptable so the council has come to a decision." Pausing as the crowd murmured around them, Hestia smiled before finishing. "Therefore, from now on I shall be watching the camp in tandem with Mr. D. and several other gods and goddess shall make surprise checkups to make sure everything is going as it should at the camp."
This was met with more excited chatter, especially that it meant some of the campers would at least get to see their parents more often, not to mention some gave sighs of relief, predominantly females after the scare of last night. Of course Penny noted some grumbles of annoyance, carefully noting who and that it wasn't exclusively sons of Ares, or only boys at that. She would inform Hestia later on if she didn't already notice it. However her observations were cut short as she noticed Aphrodite approaching … or more like standing just a few inches away.
Before she could react she squeaked as Aphrodite smashed their lips together much to the resounding gasps all around while Penny mentally panicked 'What is she doing!? We're in the middle of the camp here!' Though, much to her slight embarrassment she still returned the kiss. Luckily Aphrodite broke it before Penny could get into it and then hugged her. Penny blinked owlishly with a blush on her cheeks before she noticed the wet feeling on her shoulder and how Aphrodite was trembling.
"T-thank you … for sa-ving them," Aphrodite choked out through sobs as Penny hugged her back and rubbed her back.
"Of course, after all they're your kids and I care about them too," she said softly, too low for anyone else to here as Aphrodite thanked her again.
After a minute or so Aphrodite calmed enough to let go and flashed Penny another smile and almost looked like she was coming in for another kiss but a cough interrupted that. Both turned to see Artemis standing a few feet away, arms crossed, foot tapping, a faint blush, the slightest bit of twitching eyebrow, and dare she say, a small pout. All in all Penny wanted to squeal and glomp the cute goddess but she controlled herself enough to take a step away from Aphrodite and offer a sheepishly smile.
Artemis snorted at that before looking pointedly at Aphrodite and said, "I'd appreciate if you weren't so 'friendly' with my hunters, thank you."
Aphrodite merely stuck her tongue out at the younger goddess. Penny giggled at the antics of the two before she watched as Aphrodite gave her a 'discreet' wink and then walked towards her kids, all the while swaying her hips in a way she knew Penny was watching. It basically promised a very nice 'reward' coming later on for her noble deed. Another cough brought her out of her horny daze as she looked to her patron goddess.
"Keep it in your pants," Aphrodite muttered with a huff before gesturing for her to follow after ordering the Hunt to proceed as they were and the pair walked to Hestia and out of ear shot from any campers.
"So," Penny started as she looked between the goddesses. "How you pull this off?"
Hestia gave a smirk before answering. "Originally Ares was trying to make a stink about it before Aphrodite stepped in and attacked him before he could react." Penny raised an eyebrow at that but didn't interrupt.
"Pretty vicious and coming from me that's saying something," Artemis commented.
"After she was pulled back once she shattered his jaw, a few ribs, one leg, and knocked out some teeth Zeus tried to get Ares a slip but we weren't having any of it. Some of the others didn't seem to into the meeting until we said what would they do if it had been their daughters. Let it never be said that they don't love their kids, even if they aren't exactly very attentive or responsible at times. Poseidon was pretty vocal about it too but I think he just mostly wanted to spite thunder ass and not let him get away with anything," Hestia explained with a shrug. "Long story short Ares is banned from being within a hundred miles of either camp for a decade at the moment, not to mention Apollo didn't treat any of his injuries. As for today, Aphrodite was the first to volunteer to help me and Mr. D, not to mention that if he has another slip in security his punishment is being extended another three decades and this time, no Diet coke either."
"Brutal," Penny said in near awe, surprised that so much got done in a meeting which was rare. Then again with all the goddesses and a majority of the gods working from the same side tends to do that.
"And now that comes to the second thing that happened last night," Hestia continued while looking pointedly at Penny.
"Yes?" Penny asked, feeling a little nervous at the way Hestia and Artemis were looking at her.
"Well, before my new task, I used to watch out for our demigods. You wouldn't believe how many wouldn't even make it to their teen years and find the camps if I didn't try to guide them discreetly or maybe help satyrs and Lupa's wolves to them in time," Hestia said with some sadness before a tone of bitterness came through as she added. "And even them sometimes it isn't enough."
"And now with her new duties, Hestia doesn't have the time to help as much or as discreetly and considering the king is liable to make another law preventing gods from helping demigods rather than just restrict parents from their kids. So something or better yet, someone is needed that can assist demigods and bring them to the camps," Artemis continued and then Hestia picked up.
"And that's where you come in."
"Me?" Penny said while pointing to herself.
"Yes you," Artemis said. "You're strong enough to safely travel on your own and have similar senses to Hestia for demigods. The Hunt itself already suites a purpose by hunting down gathering monster packs to keep things level and rescue demigods at times though even I can be a little ashamed how often we left male demigods alone," she said while looking down slightly before looking up with more drive in her. "But not this new group. Under you, they're meant to find demigods and guide them to the camps. You'll be in charge of slowly gathering your forces from camps and in your travels while I'll stop by whenever you need to swear in new recruits if they are female and willing."
"Will they have the standard or the edited oath?" Penny couldn't help but ask, already thinking of ways to make use of this group to keep her princess and others close to her.
Artemis sighed even as Penny could make out a slight smile in it which made her happy. She liked that Artemis was starting to open up a little more and even be okay with Penny's … lifestyle so to speak.
"They'll have the options or, if you think it could work, you can create your own blessing but only for those you trust explicitly," she answered before looking to Hestia. "And Hestia will make a show of blessing you too so you can use more of your abilities without question and …" Artemis muttered something too low for either of the other goddesses to catch.
"What?" Penny asked as she leaned closer to the goddess.
"I'll … give you my full blessing," Artemis repeated with a slight blush before adding as she looked at Penny with big doe eyes. "It'll be my first time doing it so … you'd better feel honored!" she finished with a squeak.
Penny's eyes glazed over as her mind overloaded with the innuendo and image all mixed together, a blush on her cheeks as she imagined Artemis in a very different setting saying the same thing. Thankfully Hestia flicked her on the forehead before she could start drooling or something.
"Ah-um, yeah, thank you," she hastily said while Artemis looked at her oddly making Penny gulped. It took all of three seconds before Artemis widened her eyes and blush gold, having realized that Penny was being a little pervert at the moment before narrowing her eyes at her.
"You're spending too much time with Aphrodite," she grumbled before huffing and walking off to join her hunters.
"Smooth," Hestia drawled with a smirk making Penny growl before she grinned as well.
Glancing around she noticed they were alone and before Hestia could react, Penny slapped Hestia's ass with a nice little smacking sound as the goddess squeaked/shrieked. Giggling like an imp Penny ran off, an embarrassed goddess hot on her trail with nice big blush on her face. Enjoying the chase, Penny couldn't help but wonder what the reactions to the new split off to the Hunt would be…
And so another chapter passes. I'll be honest, I had some serious writer's block on the scene after the game and wasn't sure if I wanted any sort of big confrontation just yet with anyone. Still, hope everyone enjoyed and hopefully see you soon! making mama proud
