Hi. I plan on making this the last chapter, so... But I won't stop writing stories! I already have some plans for new stories:) All right. Don't own Percy Jackson & the Olympians. Lights. Sound and... action! Enjoy!
Percy smiled at her and pulled her closer. He inhaled her scent, enjoying it. She smelled great. She looked great. And simply was great. Percy didn't understand why she wanted him; after all, he was just a demi-god and she was a goddess. And not just a most beautiful, amazing goddes of all. She was Artemis, one of the maiden goddess who hated boys. And still, she didn't hate him. She made countless exceptions for him. Instead of hating him, she loved him. Instead of being alone, she was with him. And he was really glad she was. He would never let her go.
She smiled at him and looked up. "Where are you thinking about"? Percy smiled back. "How lucky I am to have you" he whispered. Artemis smiled. " I'm the lucky one. I got the only hero who isn't selfish, arrogant or just stupid". Percy laughed. " There are a lot people who are better than me. Better for you". Artemis rolled her eyes. " No, there aren't. And you're the only one I want anyway. You aren't having second thoughts, are you"? Percy smiled misschieviously. "Of course I am not. I will show you". Artemis frowned. " How will you-" She didn't get to finish her sentence, because Percy started kissing her. He place his hands on her back, pulling her as close as possible. Continuing where they had been interrupted. The kiss was, smoldering, but it wasn't enough. Appereantly, Artemis agreed, because she ripped his t-shirt apart and touched his chest. She pulled back for a moment to look at it.
She licked her lips. Percy smiled. " You like what you see"? he said in a teasing voice, suprised he could still talk. He felt like an animal; wild and only following instincts. He couldn't remember he had ever been this turned on. Artemis looked up and smiled." Yes, I like it. Very much" she said, before she started to kiss his neck before she focused on his chest. She placed kisses on his chest, going all the way down to his flat stomach before she focused on his nipples. She smiled devishly. Percy wanted to say something, but all his thoughts vanished when she placed her warm, wet mouth on his hard nipples. Percy hissed when she softly bit in on and started to make slow circles around it. Artemis chuckled and wanted to put her hand in his pants when she heard a voice.
She turned to look at a very satisfied- looking love goddess. Aphrodite smiled. " Well. Well. Look at this. Two of the supposed maidens making out. What a naughty girls". Artemis stepped forward, her eyes almost glowing. Percy was sure she was going to launch at the love goddess and start a cat fight. He put his arms around her and pulled her closer, trying to avoid it. " Calm down. We will think of something. We never got the chance to turn her into a clown, remember"? he whispered in her ear, so Aphrodite wouldn't hear.
Artemis relaxed and snickered. " I prefer the term dirty girls. Dirty, like you ruined clothes" she said to Aphrodite. Aphrodite froze and narrowed her eyes. " You did that? You did something that horrible, after I tried to help you"? Artemis chuckled. " I would putting all sorts of love spells on me not call helping. I vowed to be a virgin forever, Aphrodite". It was Aphrodite's turn to snicker. " Yeah right. You know, now you have a boyfriend, I don't think that vow is going to last. Besides, you don't want to refuse the poor boy that, do you? Because if you do, I will take him. He is very cute, you know". She gave Percy a sultry look.
Artemis narrowed her eyes, and her hand went to knife she always carried with her. " Don't. She is just playing with you. Calm down. You're more beautiful than she will ever be. I will never fall for her". Artemis took a deep, calming breath. " Keep your hands of him. You're the goddess of love and I'm in love. Would you try to ruin that"? Aphrodite smiled. " So you accept you're in love? And that I had nothing, well almost nothing, to do with it"? Artemis nodded. " I even told dad. Well, after he found out, that is. But I don't believe you had nothing to do with it". Aphrodite shrugged. " I just pushed you a little. You would have hold back, not wanting to like the boys you claim to hate so much". " I do hate them. But Percy is different. Unlike all those other men, he is great. And worthy. he is loyal, smart, funny, handsome and he is the only man I will ever want" Artemis ranted.
Percy smiled. " You called me a man again". Artemis rolled her eyes." Although he can be really annoying and even a bit., stupid". Aphrodite chuckled. She took another look at Percy. She winked at him. " You're sure you can't share? I would love to have him. Don't you think he will have more fun with an experienced woman"? Aphrodite gave Percy another sultry look. Percy knew she was beautiful, seriously beautiful. And of course, he felt attracted to her. But no woman came even near Artemis. She was the most beautiful woman and Percy would never choose someone else.
Artemis was about to say something, probably to leave her boyfriend alone before she would hunt Aphrodite down like she deserved, but Percy spoke first. " No, you can't. I don't care where you're the goddess of. Artemis is the only woman I'm interested in. I don't mean to insult or harm you, but I'm in love with her and she is the only one I want". Artemis flashed him a smile. " Thankyou" she whispered. Percy smiled back. " You don't need to thank me. It's the truth. I would never choose anyone else than you". Aphrodite pouted. " Are you sure? You're really handsome. And you, at least, are able to give a lot of love. To your mother, your friends, even to those who hurt you. Like your father". Percy nodded. " Yes, I'm sure. You can't have me, I only want Artemis. And my father-" Percy frowned. " Wasn't he here a minute ago"?
Artemis frowned, too. " Yes, he was. He was with-" Her eyes widened. She turned around, to the place where Poseidon and Athena had been. They weren't there anymore. " Oh shit. Where did they go"? Aphrodite laughed. " Aren't they cute? After all those years, I finally-" "APHRODITE"! Artemis screamed. Aphrodite took a few steps back, looking afraid. No wonder, since Artemis eyes really started to glow. Even Percy felt a little afraid, although he knew Artemis would never hurt him. " What did you do to them? Did you make them fall in love? Did you do that to us, too"? Artemis asked, with clenched fists. Aphrodite shook her head, her smile fading. " No, I didn't. I didn't force both you and Athena to do anything; I merely pushed some buttons. You both wanted to kiss, but you didn't dare to do so. You both didn't want to admit you actually like a guy. Athena because she believes brain rules over heart and Poseidon is her rival and you because you don't like men, probably some bad experiences, and want to be strong and independent".
Artemis rolled her eyes. " Like I hate men, because I think they are a threat to my independence". Aphrodite sighed. " For a part, you do. But that isn't really the point". Artemis narrowed her eyes at her. " You really didn't mess with my feelings"? Aphrodite raised her hands. " No. My hands are clean in this. I'm innocent. Well, I did make you kiss Percy, but you couldn't resist him forever anyway. You would have kissed him someday. And of course I watched, it's my job after all". Percy got annoyed. They seemed to ignore him. Even Artemis seemed to ignore him. And Aphrodite had spyed on them. Percy didn't like spies. Or being the source of entertainment. He had had too much of that. Percy didn't step away of Artemis, but he stiffened. Artemis immediately looked back, worry on her face. " Everything all right"? she asked. Percy nodded, trying to hide his uneaseness.
He hesitated; would he say something to her? That he didn't like being ignored? That she had hurt him? Percy decided he wouldn't say anything. She probably hadn't intended to hurt his feelings. He smiled at her before he turned to Aphrodite. " So you have been spying on us? While we were doing private things? That's not nice". Aphrodite flung her hair and giggled. " Oh calm down. I just watched, it's my job. And it wasn't nearly as bad as Athena and Poseidon". Aphrodite waved a hand in front of her. " They went further than you two. While you have had more opportuneties. Who knew Athena, with her cold behaviour, had so much passion in her? She must be seriously horny after all those years of being a virgin".
Artemis rolled her eyes. " Leave her alone already. She needs to think this through". Aphrodite sighed. " No! That's the point, really. She has to stop thinking and start feeling. Don't you want her to experience love? To feel like you do with Percy"? Artemis bit her lip. " Yes, but if-" "If we don't act, she might do something harsh like losing her virginity and hate herself when she comes to her senses" Percy interrupted. Artemis turned in his embrace and smiled, " Athena never does something harsh. She despise people who make harsh decisions and-" Percy raised his eyebrows at her. " Would she normally kiss her nemesis and who knows what more? I have the idea, this is the time for harsh decisions". Artemis took a step back and face palmed. She cursed. " Blood and bones! You're right"!
She grabbed his hand, trying to pull him with her. Percy frowned. "Wait a minute, where can we find them"? Artemis cursed again and turned to face Aphrodite, who just stood there with a misschievious glint in her arms, her arms crossed. " Need sommething, Artemis? Like the information where you can find those two"? Artemis sighed. "Yes, I do. Please tell me, we have to keep Athena from doing something she will regret later". Aphrodite snickered. " The great Athena, goddess of wisdom, need my help"? " Technically, I need your help to help her" Artemis corrected. Aphrodite smiled. " Well, in the end , she will need me. The high and mighty Athena, who thinks the brain rules instead of the heart. We will see about that". " Listen, Aphrodite. What do you think is more important? Lust or love? Because if we don't stop them now, Athena will probably hate Poseidon and herself and they will only share one night. While, if you gave them the chance, they might learn to love each other. Hate and love are close, right"? Artemis and Aphrodite stared at him. " You're right. We need to stop them" Aphrodite said, after a long time.
She turned and started walking. " Follow me. I can't believe I'm doing this, but we have to stop them. Or they will never get a relationship". Artemis smiled at Percy. " Smart" she whispered, giving him a fast kiss and following Aphrodite. Percy smiled and followed too. Artemis and he were holding hands while they followed Aphrodite, who was muttering something about a plan " Pothena". Artemis and Percy exchanged looks; it wasn't hard to guess what the love goddess was after. She wanted to get Athena and Poseidon together. Which might actually happen. After all, they had already kissed. And probably a lot more Percy thought, shivering. Artemis gave him another sympathetic look, guessing where he was thinking about.
They walked for some time ( Aphrodite refused to run, since she was wearing high heels. We will just take another route, she said. Even Artemis couldn't 'convince' her to run) before they reached Athena's house. Luckily, since it was impossible to break in, the door was open.
They walked towards one of the other guest bedrooms. When they got closer, Percy could hear a lot of moaning, giggling and other sounds. He REALLY didn't want to think about it. " What now. Are we just going to walk in and stop them"? he hissed. Aphrodite looked back and chuckled. " It was your plan, remember". Percy shivered. " Yes, but I really don't want to see them. Hearing them is bad enough". Artemis chuckled and gave him a kiss. " Poor you. But I agree, I really don't need to see it either. So what do we do? This is your job, after all" she said to Aphrodite. Aphrodite shook her head. " Getting people together is my job, not making them break up". " It still has to do with lust, which you're the goddess of" Artemis protested.
Aphrodite wanted to react when they suddenly heard a very load moan. Percy recognized Athena's voice. Artemis did too; Percy saw her eyes widen. " Shit. Stop them"! she told Aphrodite,panic in her eyes. Aphrodite rolled her eyes. " Fine, I will solve this situation. Piece of cake. Mmmm, I love cake". Artemis rolled her eyes again. " Thanks to you, we are in this situation! so do something". Aphrodite wringled her nose , but turned and walked into the room. " Heyyy, look at this! Aren't you two cute. Finally realizing the heart rules, not the brain Athena? Or in this case, your body, since you're mostly driven by lust and-" " APHRODITE! GET OUT OF HERE, YOU ANNOYING IDIOT"! " Calm down already, Thee. I've won, by the way". "WON WHAT"? " Our discussion. The heart does rule over the brain, don't you think"? " YOU DID THIS, DIDN'T YOU"? " No, I-" " i'M GOING TO KILL YOU" ! Artemis and Percy looked at each other. That didn't sound good.
A few seconds later, they saw someone leave the room. screaming. It was Aphrodite. Athena came after her, screaming too. Except she was screaming in rage. "APHRODITE! GET HERE SO I CAN KILL YOU" she screamed. Aphrodite didn't respond; she ran. " Appearently she can run" Artemis whispered. A quick glance showed Aphrodite wasn't wearing high heels anymore. For now, Athena was behind her. But that wouldn't be forever; soon, Athena would get closer. " Shouldn't we help her? Athena might actually kill her" Percy asked. Artemis smiled. "We can't get killed" she pointed out. " Well, I-"
"Which way did Athena go"? Poseidon appeared, only wearing pants. Artemis pointed the direction the two goddesses had run. Poseidon muttered a thanks and ran after them. Percy sighed. " Better go and help. Again". Artemis nodded and smiled. " I want to see what Athena is going to do to Aphrodite". Percy snickered. " Well, let's find out".
When Artemis and Percy found the god and goddesses ( they just followed all the screaming), Aphrodite was behind a statue, while Athena tried to hit her with a gigantic spear, only to be stopped by Poseidon who had his arms around her. Athena was struggling and screaming, while Aphrodite trembled and looked ready to cry. " I didn't do anything, I swear Thee, I swear" she kept saying. Not that Athena listened. Percy turned to Aphrodite. " You better go. Before my father can't hold her back anymore". Aphrodite, deadly pale, nodded. " G-good idea, Perc-cy. I will do that" And she ran away. "COME BACK HERE, YOU COWARD! I STILL NEED TO DRIVE MY SPEAR TO YOUR STUPID HEART" Athena screamed, still struggling.
Athena kept screaming for a while until, finally, she calmed down. Artemis and Poseidon had managed to calm her down. When Poseidon was convinced she was calm, he let her go. " Calm down. She is gone". "That's exactly the problem. How can I kill her when she is not here? Now I have to search for her" Athena snapped. "She didn't do it, lady Athena" Percy said softly, trying to keep her from attempting to murder Aphrodite. Appearently Athena was so mad she didn't notice her mistake; it wasn't possible to kill the gods.
She turned to Percy. " What do you mean, you vlaca"? Poseidon shot her a warning glance. " Don't insult my son. He didn't do anything". Athena nodded. She calmed down when she realized her behaviour didn't help. " I'm sorry, you're right. Percy, could you explain, please"? she asked, her voice soft. Percy nodded.
They all sat down. And he told them. Since his father had missed all this, he started at the beginning. His dream and his walk towards Chiron. He ended with Aphrodite's explanation.
Athena frowned when he was done. " I think you're right, Perseus. Aphrodite didn't do anything. Not really. But what is the explanation of certain... events between me and your father"? Artemis smiled. " You like him" she said.
Poseidon nodded and took Athena's hand. " Is that so hard to believe? I like you to". Athena bit her lip and sighed. " I don't know. And I hate it" Poseidon smiled. " Well, go on a date with me, then. We will find out, together". Athena smiled. " All right, I will give you a chance. But you better not take advantage of me again". " Sorry, owl head, but wasn't you the one who kept saying; don't stop, don't stop"? He raised his eyebrows at her. Athena blushed. " Yes, but I couldn't think properly, so -" " He didn't take advantage of you, Thee. He simply couldn't resist you" Artemis said, rolling her eyes. " Serious, stop trying to explain everything and thinking about everything. Sometimes there isn't an explanation. Just follow your feelings and what feels right". " But I'm-" "Just give it a chance, please" Poseidon said.
Athena looked at him and smiled. "All right. I will. For this time". Poseidon smiled and kissed her. When the kiss was over, Athena turned to Artemis and Percy.
" So, you two have defeated the monster"? she asked. Artemis and Percy nodded. Percy smiled; he hadn't even thought about that anymore. After all that happened, he had completely forgotten the reason he and Artemis had found each other. " You know, we should thank that monster. If it hadn't existed, we hadn't spent time together and everything" Percy said to Artemis.
Artemis smiled. " You know, you're right. But I'm glad that it is dead". " Me too". Athena smiled. " I think everyone is. What are you going to do now, you know now your quest is completed, Percy"? Percy smiled at her. " I think I'm going to camp to explain what happened. Show them I'm alive and all". He turned to Artemis. "Want to join me"? Artemis smiled. " I would love to" she said, giving him a fast kiss. " When we have some time alone, maybe we can go on our second date"? she whispered. " I would love too" Percy whispered back.
Athena frowned. " I jus thought of something. What about your hunters? After all, you have a relationship now". Artemis sighed. " I don't know. I will just tell them and let them decide. It will be hard for them to understand, but I know if they see I'm happy they will accept it".
Athena nodded. " All right". She frowned, looking really worried. " Is it incontestable that he is defunct"? Percy just stared at her and blinked, very slowly. " Excuse me, you were saying"? Athena sighed, but Percy saw she was smiling too. " I asked if you were sure that abhorrent beast was dead"? Percy nodded. " We are sure. And why don't you just say that. At least, I will actually understand what you are saying".
Athena crossed her arms. " I am already rectifying my behavior so you will fathom what I am saying". Percy snorted. " You know I didn't get what you just said, don't you". Athena narrowed her eyes. " You know I can hear your tone is disrespecting, don't you"? she said in a cold voice. Her stormy grey eyes were narrowed at Percy, showing her anger.
Poseidon lay his hand on Athena's knee, softly pinching. " Calm down, Thena. My son didn't intend to insult you, I'm sure of that. He just saw the humor in this situation. Like me. Besides, I don't understand either" Poseidon said with a charming smile towards Athena, who was blushing while trying to look distant and cool. What didn't work of course.
Artemis laughed. " He is right, Thee. I mean, it can be really hard to ' fathom' what you are saying. But your impressive vocubulary is helping Poseidon; he will learn to speak English at last". "Hey! My English is fine"! Poseidon protested. Athena chuckled. " No, it isn't. You still have a lot to learn" Athena said. " Hallelujah. Just what I love, spending the rest of my immortal live studying" Poseidon muttered.
Athena smiled, her eyes twinkling. " In exchange for you full commitment to your studies, I might stop using difficult words all the time. Like I'm doing now". Poseidon sighed. " I don't really care what words you use. I your way of talking is cute and it fits you. The only thing I have against it, is that we lose a lot of time because you have explain everything you say".
Athena's smile grew wider. She licked her lips before she bent forward, her hand on Poseidon's leg. She stroked the inside of his knee before she let her hand go hips, reaching his thighs. " I can also reward you in an other way. Do you have any suggestions"? she said in a mocking voice while she let her hand go up and down. Poseidon swallowed, his eyes a little glazy. " Is this a test? Because if it is, I have the feeling I'm going to fail miserably. It wouldn't be the first time".
Athena snickered. " I can imagine it wouldn't. I , on the contrary, have never failed a test in my life. It isn't a test". Poseidon smiled. " Good. That means I don't have to worry and can follow my instincts". Athena frowned. " Your instincts? Do you mean- Mmmmmm". Poseidon kissed her and pulled her on his lap. Athena wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
Percy looked at Artemis, really uncomfortable now he was forced to watch his dad and Athena making out. Artemis didn't look happy about it either. She cleared her throat, trying to get the attention of Athena and Poseidon. Unfortunetely, they were too busy kissing each other and they didn't hear her. Artemis cleared her throat again.
When Poseidon's hand went down, probably to undress Athena starting with her pants, Artemis had enough of it. She got up and walked towards him, Percy watching her. Poor dad he thought. She is going to destroy him. But he didn't anything. He didn't know what she was up to, but he had a feeling it would be painful. And he was right.
Artemis walked towards the couple, Poseidon had unzipped Athena's pants by this time, grabbed Athena's hair and pulled her back. Said goddess made a small, whining sound. From pain or because Artemis had forced her to stop kissing, Percy didn't know. And honostly, he didn't want to know.
"Sorry Thee. But I have to stop you two for A. you do something you will regret, like letting Poseidon undress you in front of me and Percy. And B. because I'm going to throw up if I have to see more of this" she muttered. Athena lay on the ground, her grey eyes not bright, like they normally would be. She slowly got in a sitting position, looking around with a confused look. Her eyes caught Poseidon and she smiled. That smile quickly vanished when Artemis suddenly punched Poseidon, who was just as confused and frustrated as Athena, in his face and said " That will teach you not to do that in front of me with my best friend". She smiled and walked back to Percy while Athena gaped at Poseidon for a second before getting up and running towards him.
"Poseidon! Can you get up? Did she give you a concussion"? she asked Poseidon while she helped him getting up. She glanched at Artemis. " Why did you do that? There was no reason whatsoever to do so"! she said, annoyed and mad. Artemis shrugged. " I had enough of his attemps to go a step further. And I figured you could need some help".
Athena growled. " I didn't need you to gived him a concussion! And you and Percy do that too. I caught you, remember? And you hugged him while he was naked"! " If I remember correctly, you were staring at my boyfriend when he was naked. And drooling when you saw his muscles and all" Artemis retorted.
Athena rolled her eyes. " I was just suprised, that's all. Don't be ridiculous". Artemis snickered. " Sure. It wasn't at all like you were admiring his body or something". Athena was about to reply when Poseidon grunted. He looked at her, his eye already turning blue. Athena cursed when she recalled how hard Artemis had hit him. " I will get an icepack. Don't hit him again, Artemis"! she said before she ran away.
Athena came back with an icepack and gave it to Poseidon. He accepted it with a grateful smile. " Thank you. Just what I needed". Athena smiled and gave him a tender kiss. " No problem. I don't mind taking care of you". Poseidon grinned, but didn't say anything. He just hold the icepack up.
After some, actually a lot, talking Artemis and Athena promised each other to leave each other's boyfriends alone. When they were done ( by this time, Percy and Poseidon claimed ot be driven crazy due too much girl talk), they started talking about other things. Like hobbies. Poseidon was just in the middle of one of his stories when Athena slapped her forehead. " D'arvit! I forgot father wanted to talk to us. We have to go! NOW"! she said, already getting up. They ran towards the throne room, the two couples holding hands. They were already late.
When they opened the doors, they found all the Olympian gods and goddesses were staring at them. Aphrodite had a smug look on her face, but this look changed into fear when Artemis looked her way. "We will get her later" Percy whispered. Artemis squeezed his hand and nodded. She straightened and waljed towards the throne in the middle, the throne of her father, Zeus.
Ok, I know I said I wanted to end this story with this chapter, but I just decided I will do one more chapter. Why? Because, just because. Review please! Review= faster update ( last chapter!).
