Percy POV
I could not sleep for the life of me, even with being completely exhausted. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Annabeth trying to kill me or worse Annabeth trying to kill Artemis while I could do nothing at all. The latter nightmare made me stay awake so I could watch Artemis so that I could make sure she was ok. I was more afraid of loosing her then dying, I would not loose anymore loved ones. If it came down to it, I would rather give my life up then have Artemis ruin even the slightest.
Artemis in her slumber was peaceful as she had her arms around my waist making it impossible for me to get up or do anything, yet I do not mind. She also had her head nestled on my chest letting a little dab of drool gather. I would have never guessed that Artemis would be the cuddlier and a droller in her sleep.
Looking around the room, I tried to entertain myself, as it might be a while before I can move. The cabin is what I would expect, the walls were painted Silver but were chipping from disuse, and there were also a couple of skin rugs like rabbit and bears. The beds were all bunk beds including the one we were on, so above me is a wood framework of the above bed. They were simple beds with brown frames and small mattresses like a military bunker sleeping area is what its close too. Down at the end of the room was a separated room that could only be the bathroom. It was all a very simple cabin though I wish it had a clock so I could tell the time as there was only two windows in the cabin and they were too far away, meaning I couldn't tell the time by the position of the sun.
The silence was ended as Artemis began to mumble in her sleep, a line of drool increasing as her lips twitched. Before I could even try and whip the drool off as it was getting a little much, she spazzed while yelling "Don't you dare, Blonde Bitch" when she spazzed she slapped me across the face making my cheek sting. As a reconciliation prize, I felt the baby kick against my side softly making a smile cross my face.
Artemis looked around confused; half her hair was up in the air with knots. The line of drool under her lip was actually two as one was dry while the other was nice and fresh. That made me remember when Annabeth told me I drooled in my sleep, but I wouldn't let that down my mood so I joked "It looked like you were making a river with that drool"
The most amusing thing happened next, a blush spread across her cheeks as she tried to sit up so that she could whip off the drool, but since she was in such a twisted angel so that her swollen abdomen could rest on my lap, she simple couldn't get up. Feeling mercy, I helped her up while chuckling "Don't worry about it, Moon Lady" she gave me a glare as she whipped of the drool, a bright blush was still on her cheeks.
Artemis managed to untangle her legs from mine and swung them so she could stand but the usual problem presented itself "Percy, Help me up" I pushed her back so that she stood. Once she stood, it seemed that she was suddenly hit by dizziness making her stumble across the floor. I hopped to my feet, my shoes sliding slight against the wood floor making me almost fall down but I managed to make it, so to get to her side as she held onto a bed frame.
Artemis already knew I was going to ask "I am just dizzy, but my back is killing me, looks all the bending from yesterday really took a number, I hate being pregnant" I put hand on her lower back helping her straighten, she added as I began to slowly kneed circles into the small of her back "I feel more like a mortal then I have ever in my life". She looked up into my eyes, I was so close that I could see the sparkle hers had like the shine of the moon, it was so comforting.
She started to lean forward as did I, till the mood ended as the door to her cabin opened to reveal Hica and Apollo. The two walked in with Hica using her signature sarcastic tone "Hey sleeping love birds, I do hope that your nest was nice and comfy" leave it to Hica to ruin any mood or action that was about to occur.
Apollo gave a chuckle as he 'secretly' gave Hica a high five behind his back. Though seriousness began to seep in as Apollo informed "Chiron and Dionysus woke up and questioning is about to begin so if you want to be there, get moving"
Artemis and I, looked at each other, a silent agreement was made to rush. She went to the bathroom so to most likely wash her face and brush out the knots in her hair.
As I simple smoothed my hair down, Hice moved so that she could see my face, she poked me with her staff "Hey, did you actually sleep?" she must notice the bags under my eyes.
There was no point in lying "No, I didn't, just don't tell Artemis, she has enough on her shoulders as it is" both of them looked like they wouldn't, I knew this because they looked at each other, Apollo gave a frown as Hica shook her head. I added, "Please, Guys, she doesn't need more stress"
I had no more time to convince them of anymore with the bathroom door opening. Artemis must have flashed in some cloths. The ones she had been wearing before had become tight as they were a tee-shirt that always tried to ride up and sweat pants meant for her none pregnant form. These cloths were a little more fitting; it was a loose white blouse with bigger sweatpants.
Apollo decided it was time to poke fun "Not much fashion expertise, Little Sister" I barely had enough time to duck, The knife that Artemis suddenly had and threw flew past my head by what had to be just a inch or less. Apollo was barely as lucky as me; the knife nailed him to the door by his red blazer.
Artemis cracked her knuckles, a sly grin playing on her rosy lips "want to try that again, Little brother" she watched him like a hawk as he reached down, pulled out the knife, then proceeded to just walk out. Hica followed but she did it all while walking backwards so to keep her multi-colored eyes on us.
Its my turn to do something, yet I wouldn't leave, no no no I walked up to Artemis and wrapped a arm around her while changing the subject "Lets get back to the wake up call while we walk" Pulling her along, I kept a eye on her facial expression which had turned sour but all I got was "It was nothing"
The conversation over to the Big House was filled with me trying to figure out what Artemis had been dreaming about. I actually didn't know that Gods dreamed, I thought they simple slept with no dreams but hey I was wrong. Unfortunately that's the only piece of information I have as Artemis dream was kept away from me.
The Big house was a flurry of activity; minor gods were running around trying to keep everything around camp in order. Most of major gods were still around now, planning ways of getting back at Kilalon. I heard as I passed mention of the Romans. Right, The Romans, camp Jupiter wasn't attacked yet, most likely because Kilalon knew not many Romans are the betraying type.
I know Jason is still alive, as with Renya, Frank, Hazel, Leo who lives with the Romans, as with Nico and Piper living there too. Those are just on the top of my head.
The door into the Big house was constantly open with how many rushed through it, as we got in after almost being hit over the head by a Godling carrying a beam, for who knows what, we managed to make it to Chiron room. He was in his usual room that had a big double king sized bed, and bookcases lining the walls from floor to ceiling. The only part uncovered was the window but on the window seal was books.
I saw Chiron in the bed; white bandages covered every inch of his body, pain was clear in his eyes yet he still gave me a smile as I walked in. Chiron greeted "Hello Percy, still 5 minutes tell questioning"
Behind me Artemis patted my shoulder and whispered, "I'll leave you two, to talk"
-Haha- Artemis POV
Everything was too noise in the Big House for my taste, so as I exited Chiron room, I made a beeline for the door. The noise was even upsetting my baby as it began to kick and squirm in protest. I had to stop in the hallway to try and sooth the baby by rubbing where it kicked but to no avail. So I continued my move for the door but something in the back of my mind told me to stay in the Big House, yet I ignored it. All I have to do is stay near the Big House and it will all be fine.
I had dodge in and out to get past everyone, everything reminded me of a professional kitchen when suddenly 100 orders come in, and the Kitchen is scrambling to make all of them within a sort amount of time.
The cool summer air brushed against my face as I finally made it out of the Big House. The porch was just as busy with planning so I walked around so to sit down at the side of the house. Another breeze passed, rustling the leaves and bushes, barely disturbed by the clanging of the big house. One turn could eliminate most of the sound. Moving my head back, I could see the white clouds drifting on by.
Feeling the peace seep in, I closed my eyes just for a second. In that second I heard a rustle out in the bushes, before I had a chance to open my eyes, the swift movement of feet cutting through the grass invaded my ears. Just as I opened my eyes, I had to close them again as a strong punch landed to my temple. The pain radiated outwards and fell like I was under pressure. My body involuntarily fell to the side.
As I creaked my eyes open, the light now blinding, I saw a sick smile. This smile belonged to none other then Annabeth. I couldn't fight with being heavily pregnant and the knock to the temple had me dizzy. I did the only card I had left...
I screamed.
A rush came but Annabeth already had me. She put a sack over my head, and then restrained my hands when she picked me up. I tried to kick her with all I had but she was smart and angled my legs away from her.
I could hear a rushing noise then the ground explode next to us, I could tell as earth pelted my arms and side. Yet that didn't stop Annabeth as she began to run for it. I noticed she began to hiss as a sizzling sound made it to my ears, was she burning?
All I could think is how stupid I was to wonder even 10 feet away from every one. Though suddenly I get an idea and try to simple flash away but what felt like a simple pinch on the back of my neck made everything go dark. I had fallen unconscious and in the hands of a psychopath. This goes completely against my dream I had just the night before, I had dreamed that Annabeth had taken Percy away from me, not the other way around.
The feeling of light made me open my eyes, I could tell I was still asleep but it was like my eyes opened to see some ruins. They were deep gray stone washed a tad from age while the walls crumbled to the point of, only a fourth of it still stood up, if the walls were lucky. There was no ceiling that hinder looking up into the completely white-clouded skies with hints of gray but no blue poked through. The floors were between turned up dirt and stone. This stretched in all directions, giving a feeling of being alone in a great expanse as the eye and mind found nothing to cling onto. One thing that was a common factor was no life not even a piece of grass poked out, it was void of any green just gray and brown.
Before even sitting up, I commented "hello strange woman that I now have an idea who she is?" The women poked her head into my view and had a light smile on her face, she motioned for me to stand and follow her.
I did without a problem as in this dream state I didn't have my pregnant figure blocking or hindering any of my movement. Seeing that I was up, the women began to talk with her wind like voice "Hello, its nice to see you once again, you must listen closely as I do not have much time to lead you to the informant" she walked to a old door way now almost completely crumbled away but at her touch it became whole once again with the sound of a tornado bring it into existence. She opened the door and it opened onto another plain.
As I walked forward, she inquired "You very luck that this had happened, without this connection, you would not have known what is to be known" we walked through and everything changed, as we know where in a great valley with a thunderstorm pounding above us making everything dark then light up as lightning crossed the sky. A little hut stood just feet away with a women sitting on the roof covered in red fabric. When she turned I swore it was Hica with the red eyes just no gold. Her hair was a dark red that was like dried blood; her skin was pale with red tattoos spread across it that had a flow to them.
Slowly she jumped off and floated to the ground before even doing a introduction, she explained "The venom that Kilalon used to change Annabeth was the venom of a halfia, it wasn't complete and couldn't deteriorate her soul completely, if you hit the right nerves you will bring out the humanity in Annabeth, if you have her on your side, you have a chance to kill Kilalon" there was shake sent through the valley and the edges of my vision began to turn black. She cursed, "damn I had more to say, but here's the last thing, a way to bring back humanity is too remind the damned of memories"
The last thing I heard was a 'good luck' from both the woman before everything became black again the information was swimming in my head, what were they talking about venom and halfia. All I got out of any of that was too try to bring Annabeth back to being well human and then we'll have a chance to kill Kilalon. Why do I have the feeling that is harder said then done?
Hica "you like being a bitch, don't you"
I gave them fluff last chapter
Apollo "that was last chapter"
Well just imagine the fluff if Percy and Artemis get reunited
All cast and crew except moi "IF!"
If you give me a little something, the separating between Artemis and Percy might be shorter
