Hi guys, sorry I could have updated a few days back but I wasn't feeling well. Also, the part when school reopened means a whole pile of shit to handle. I will still keep up with my updates so no worries. Anyway enjoy!

Percy

"Why did you tie her up?" I rushed over to Artemis and checked up on her. There wasn't any wound, except a little bum behind the head but nothing serious.

"You wouldn't want to do that." Aphrodite suggested when I wanted to pull out her gag. "Not unless-"

"Perseus Jackson release me this instance so I may consider sparing your worthless life!-" Aphrodite ended her raging by putting back the gag which I took out instinctively.

"If you want my help, the least you could is not shout and insult me!" I shouted back at Artemis and stormed out back to the dining table.

"Maybe next time you might want to listen to what others have to say first." Aphrodite chided as we, I mean she continued eating her breakfast.

"Hey I was hungry ok? Sex is very tiring you know." Diana huffed as I sighed and simply summoned another plate of pancakes for myself.

"Oh yeah you had food summoning power. Then why didn't we eat in the room god damn it!" Diana shook me violently. "I could have continued sleeping." She cried out.

"What's with her?" I pointed my knife at Diana's other half over at the other room, who obviously looked pissed as Hades.

"The usual. Charging and starting shooting impulsively. Never even thought for a moment who she's up against." My gaze still fixed on Artemis. She deserved it, but at the same time… If only she just ask nicely.

"The key is here, you decide. There's a sales going on." She tossed the key at my face, bringing me back to conscious as she flashed away.

"So?" I asked. "What are we supposed do with her?" I looked at Diana.

"She's your girl, or ex I don't know. But one thing for sure, you have to release her sooner or later. It's either you or Aphrodite. How else are you going to explain to Zeus the disappearance of her favourite daughter?" Diana explained, which in shorts means unless I wish to die, better release her. I took the keys and walked towards Artemis. Normally, people would have mixed feelings and stuff. For me, I literally felt nothing. There's probably as much hate as there is love in me towards her to the point I can look into her glowing silver eyes of anger and felt nothing.

"That's right you pathetic-" I took out the gag for a second, before putting it back.

"I know we're both in the wrong, but it doesn't kill you to apologize or simply keep your mouth shut." I sighed as I worked to unlock the cuffs that are all over her. I didn't know Aphrodite would really go to the point of tying her up, or perhaps she was just defending herself. As soon as I unlock the last lock, Artemis immediately pounced on me and had me pinned down with a knife to my throat.

"You kill him, and I'll-"I raised my hand to stop Diana. If Artemis really wants to kill me, there's nothing much I can really do about it. I did cheat on her, her counterpart or not.

"If this is what you really want." I resigned to my fate, and closed my eyes. For one thing, your life don't flash across your eyes before you die… wait am I even dying?

"What the-"

"Leave, just leave. I don't care where you go and with who, just don't ever come back to the Hunt or show your face in front of me. You want to live your life with Diana or Aphrodite or anyone else that's your problem. I'm tired of all these drama." Artemis got off me and flashed off instantly, leaving stunned on the floor.

"Does that mean-"

"Yes…" Diana answered emotionlessly.

"But… I don't feel anything." I replied. I expected myself to at least feel hurt or glad or happy or at least something. Nothing. I felt nothing.

"We should find Apollo. He's going to come to us anyways." I went to pick Diana up and went to his palace.

"You ok?" Diana asked worriedly. I wanted to say I'm fine, but the thing was I don't even know that myself. My hope is that Apollo could explain it to me.

"Apollo?" I knocked on the door, and it awhile he answered it. His look already told me he knows about it. I followed him in, into the living room where we took a seat.

"Diana, could you leave us for a moment?" He asked and snapped his finger. Diana nodded solemnly and walked off to the kitchen.

"I don't know what to say…" Apollo sighed and placed his face into his hand. "I know you had your difficulties, and it's Artemis we're talking about but… And with Diana…" He continued.

"She let me go. I'm not to return to the Hunt or show my face in front of her again." I answered, and he lifted his head and looked at me incredulously.

"That isn't good news, that's the worse. If it was dramatic and all I would've been less worried. But now, you just broke up with arguably the most short-tempered and impulsive goddess and nothing. Just like that. You too, you can still carry Diana over here and still I don't know not feel anything about it." Apollo kept shaking his head. "I don't know Percy, I really don't. Why don't you go find someone? I have to go fly the sun." Apollo waved me off. He probably didn't want to help because of his position. It's a huge dilemma to choose between his Greek or Roman sister.

"Come on Diana let's go." I called out to her, and moments later she walked out with some packet of chips in her hands.

"Where are we going?" She asked, but I didn't answer her and pulled her along as I opened a portal out of here. There was only one place left I could go… well two, back to Aphrodite's place but there is if I really don't have a choice.

"Hi mom…" I said softly to the eight year old girl sitting on the sofa and knitting something.

"I'll be at the kitchen." Diana said as I looked at her with knitted eyebrow.

"I'm still hungry ok?" She retorted and walked off, leaving me alone as I took a seat beside Hestia who still kept her quiet. She continued knitting her uh whatever it was, still in total silence as I sat there awkwardly doing nothing.

"I uh-"

"I know why you're here. Come with me." She placed drop her knit and got up. She grabbed my hand and flashed us away.

"Take a seat." She gestured as I saw that familiar ever burning fire in the throne room. The moment I sat down, the flames suddenly go ablaze. It went wild, but at the same time it looked so weak. It was as though it's going to burn out any time soon.

"Tell me what you see." She instructed.

"I saw a wild flame. It looked so fierce, at the same time kind of weak." I answered honestly.

"This, is your current emotion." She replied, but I don't get it,

"What does it mean? Does that mean I don't love her anymore? To the point that when she broke up with me that I don't feel anything?" I questioned. I was sure I love her, or loved.

"You love her, no doubt about it. Imagine Percy, that you're in a tank of water like back in the past when you were injured. The moment you step out of it, you still had that moment of strength. But once the water dries up, you begin to feel weak. In the past that water was Annabeth. She was your like your emotions. Your source of happiness, laugher even sadness. So when you were told about your relationship was false. You don't instantly feel the pain. You were still able to consider her feeling and pack up and leave. As time passed, you begin to feel the pain. Also at the same time, you found another one- Artemis, who became your new source of emotions. You were like placed into another pool of water again. You feel rejuvenated, you feel whole. When she broke up with you-"

"The pain doesn't come immediately." I finished her sentence.

"Yes, but almost immediately you found another- Diana. However, you don't feel right with her. Like a bed, when you change a new pillow and mattress, it doesn't feel the same as the old one. You will get used to it eventually, but before then… Now, is only a matter of you being able to adjust to the new one instead." She added.

"There isn't a choice at all. Is not like she would take me back after what I've done…"

"The same theory applies to her too. She will also feel the hurt and pain too. However, unlike you, she is used to being alone. While you're transiting to accept Diana, she's transiting back to her former self." Hestia finished and got up. "The decision is yours now." She concluded and flashed off. I followed suit, back to her place.

"So?" Diana asked.

"I don't know… I could finally give Artemis what she always wanted, her old life back. No more with having to deal with me. She doesn't have to teach me archery anymore." I smiled a little at the thought of her look every time she tried to teach me archery. No, I think it's better for her.

"You know things can't just go back to the way it was." Diana said sadly.

"It will… Hestia said that soon enough, Artemis would be able to revert back to her old self. It was a mistake for us to start in the first place."

"But-"

"Enough. It's better for us both. Think about it, she can have her old life back. You can finally have me… although you would have to give me some time to move on first. It's a win-win. I am going back to my room to rest now. See you later." I ended the conversation and left.

Artemis

"Milady." I heard Zoe greeted me the moment I arrived back at the Hunt.

"Gather up the hunters and meet me at the dining hall in 5." I simply issued my ordered and walked off to the dining hall, where I waited, and waited, and…

"How long do you girls need to gather up?!" I lashed out at the hunters that were present, which only amount to barely half the amount.

"Lady Artemis, what's the hur-"

"I will inform everyone when everyone is actually present." I cut Thalia off and continued waiting, until the final hunter arrived.

"I gave you 5mins, and you took 10. What is this, a hotel?! We're supposed to do be on our top form all the times. The monsters aren't going to wait for you to be ready before they attack. I want you all the pack up and be ready to move in the next 5minutes. For every minute you delay, I will add in another hour of drills."

"But Milady, it's been-"

"It's been a practice that we pack and go as fast as we unpack. Just because we've been stationed here for a longer period of time doesn't we're here permanently, or else we could just stay at Camp Half-Blood. Normally, we would take 5 minutes to pack up. Given the long break we had, I'll give you 6 instead. Now go!" I ordered as the hunters all scrambled up in all direction. It was a chaos out there. Just then, a flash of golden light shone in front of me and blinded me for a moment.

"Hey lil- woah what's with all the chaos? You finally told them you- ok never mind. Zeus has called for a meeting and requests your presence immediately." Apollo finished his sentence before flashing off in a hurry again.

"Consider yourself lucky girls. You have the time I'll be away on a meeting to brush up on your incompetence to do something so simple. When I'm back, we will start all over again." I called out to the crowd of Hunters and flashed away myself.

"What is it Father that you've to call for this sudden meeting?" I asked and took my seat on my throne.

"I should be asking you the very same question." He replied and eyed at Apollo whom I realised was holding onto some newspaper.

"Read the headlines." Apollo tossed me the newspaper and the headline went by,

Biggest Supermoon in all times.

"Apparently, the moon was not only larger than average, and we're talking about the human's moon cake festival's supermoon, it was also so bright that it shone in the skies until 9 in the morning. There could only be one explanation for this matter. You lost control of your domain." Zeus summed it up.

"I got into a fight with Aphrodite and I lost. I was chained onto an imperial gold chair and left there until the following morning." I explained it logically. "I assure you father that I'm well in control of my domains now. If there's nothing else, I would like to return to the Hunt."

"Yes, go ahead. As for you Aphrodite," The attention was now turned to Aphrodite. I got up from my throne and flashed back to the Hunt.

"Milady, we're packed and ready to move. Fastest time we took was 5minutes 30 seconds unfortunately." Zoe reported everything immediately. One glance through and all I saw were tired Hunters sprawled all over the place.

"When they're ready get them to unpack and rest up. We will move out tomorrow morning." I issued my order, but Zoe's look suggests something else.

"Spill it." I asked.

"I know that the meeting is about the loss of control over your domains. I merely wished to know what happened back there." Zoe replied back softly.

"And it concerns you because…"

"With respect Milady, given your characteristic, you would answer half-honestly, pushed all the blame to Aphrodite and leave. But in doing so, won't you push her against the wall? What if she decides to rat you and Percy out? What-"

"What now is that I no longer have any feelings towards him. If asked upon, Aphrodite can't lie through Apollo."

"But about your vir-"

"If there's no feeling involved, no one will believe Aphrodite's words. Now, if you could pass out the orders. I want to retire to my tent." I ended the conversation. I can see that she has more queries, but merely nodded her head and ran off. The Hunters pitched the tents fast, but it could have been faster. They're too out of shape over the long station below Mount Othrys. I retreated to my tent, having no appetite for dinner after everything that has happened today.

"Before you ask, cancel out all questions pertaining to your curiosity." I opened my mouth first when I saw Thalia waiting outside my tent.

"Just one- where's Percy?" She asked straight away.

"And this has to do with…?"

"For one everyone's waiting at the dining hall for him to serve us. Two, your abnormal behaviour today- You always had him within your sight, not to mention your cold-"

"Tell the Hunters that they'll have to settle their own dinner and for all future meals like they're supposed to do, along with all their chores. As to your question, he's not coming back." I pushed Thalia aside and entered my tent.

"Thalia?" I called out.

"Yes Lady Artemis?" Thalia flapped the wing and came in.

"Burn this entire pile of clothes."

"But they're"

"I said burn." I stood my ground. Thalia reluctantly took the whole pile of clothes and went off as I collapsed onto my bed.

Percy

"You're still here." I groaned as I saw Diana resting on me.

"Just because you broke up with her doesn't mean we can't be together." She was surprisingly wide awake.

"Yeah but still… I feel weird starting so soon." I pushed Diana as she rolled over to the side of the bed and got up.

"So what do you want to do? You're a free man now." Diana clung herself onto my back like a shell, but my post-relationship was still heavy that I didn't really feel the love emitting from her. I feel… blank.

"I don't know." I answered blankly. I'm so used to Artemis planning my life out for me… well not exactly planned but my life was at the Hunt or Camp Half-blood. There is always a schedule to follow. "I'm used to following schedules both at Camp Half-blood or the Hunt.

"Anything you want to do in particular? I don't watching movie, go on a tour around the cities or just walking around a mall. I can get Hecate to mask your demigod scent and with a Olympian Goddess, me, around, no monsters will dare come and disturb us." She proclaimed proudly at the goddess part.

"I think I just want rest a little longer." I sighed and peeled her off my back as I lay back down. Diana said nothing and went out, probably for breakfast. My mind was literally blank. I don't know how long I laid there. I might have dozed off for a few times, but just when I was about doze off again, Diana yanked me up furiously and flashed us away.

"Now you stay here and don't move!" She shoved me back and flashed off again. It was just an empty room. There was no door, no window no nothing. What if I actually die of suffocation? My answer came moments later when Diana flashed back in… with Artemis?

"What is she-"

"Both of you seriously grow up for fuck sake! On one hand, you're like oh I don't know what to do with her. My life is all about her and now she's gone I'm going to be walking zombie no a god damn sleeping zombie! Then you on the other went back to being some cold, psychotic bitch who started drilling the Hunters all of a sudden making then pack up and pitch the tents up again. Best part was you leaving them to fend for themselves for dinner when they're all so worn out to hunt for it, and I get to have Thalia, Zoe and Apollo IM-ing me and constantly nagging at me about it. Just stop being so immature for once and I'm supposed to be the immature one. Just made up or something so we can continue on with our life." Diana pulled me and Artemis right in front of each as I was forced to look at her. Sadly or fortunately, I still felt nothing and so does she.

"For gods sake just stop hiding your feelings for each other. Yes I like Percy but what use is a useless I-don't-want-do-anything Percy for." Diana continued raging as my eyes were still locked with Artemis's.

"Arghhh!" Diana let out a scream and proceed to forcing me onto Artemis, crashing me and her onto each other as we were forced to kiss each other.

"Diana!" I grunted out as she ignored and continued pressing our heads together, forcing our lips to meet each other. I don't know what happened, but the longer I was kissing her, the more I begin to feel for her again. I started to miss those soft lips, her foresty scent and her marshmallow like body. I wrapped my hands around her neck, wanting to deepen the kiss. Thankfully, I didn't get kicked in the groin or something along that line. Rather, she also deepened the kiss and was wrapping her arms around me as well. Before long, there were tongue flying all over and a battle for dominance began. Ultimately, Artemis cheated by stepping on my toe and making me lose focus as she had me pinned against the wall and her tongue running all over in my mouth. I don't know how long did we did it, but I sure as hell didn't mind. However, we eventually break apart due to my lack of air as we both looked at each other breathlessly, but this time her eyes glowed with so much affection. The break lasted for a few seconds before Artemis couldn't control herself and mashed herself back at me for round two. It didn't last long mainly for one reason. The lack of air, and by that I don't mean me needing time to catch my breath but the literal meaning of lacking of air in the enclosed room.

"No… air…" I broke apart and voiced out breathlessly. Artemis simply chuckle and grabbed my hand before flashing us away.

Artemis

That was a rather… fast break/makeup. I never thought of breaking up with him before, no matter how stupid and horrible he is at archery and hunting. The thought itself can literally kill me. Just him missing or out there fighting the Giant War alone already drove me insane enough, but this breakup… It came rather easy? I envisioned myself killing him and doing the River torture. Did I not love him as much as I thought? But I was sure…

"Already dreaming about me?" Perseus's voice shook me from my thoughts. I looked at that goofy, grinning look on his face and I couldn't help but break a smile back at him.

"No not really. I was thinking about why I didn't stab or shoot or kill you back then." I thought I would get mad at the thought of him cheating on me, but his look of pure love kind or some made me feels like it's my fault. I hated that.

"Oh I know that. Hestia said it's something like emotion lag. It takes some time before it will kick in." He explained.

"I was expecting a sorry Artemis. I didn't mean to cheat on you." I huffed a little.

"I won't lie to you, but at the point when I did it I did mean it. I hated you so much that I didn't care or bothered about you. I mean what were you thinking when I called out to you?" He rolled over to my side, and I instinctively rolled on top of him. Maybe I was scared he still holds a little resentment.

"I… I thought you were pulling some schemes. Some excuses for me to come and trick me into untying you." I admitted embarrassedly, but his hand resting on my cheek reassured me.

"You think I'm that smart to pull such a scheme?" he caressed my face, and I just wanted to live in that moment forever.

"I don't know… You were smart enough to make me give you my virginity." I shrugged and rolled off him, trying to escape as he lunged at me, his arms wrapping around my waist as he pulled me back playfully.

"Now since when I did I trick you into breaking your oath for me? I clearly said it was your choice." He placed me on his lap and tickled my under chin.

"First you made an attempt at me, if it had worked then good for you if not you would have made me feel guilty. Then you know I would ask Aphrodite or Apollo about it and they obviously support you. Feeling guilt ridden, I would then ask for help on how to approach you about it again. Afterwards, you act all I don't want it and knowing my impulsive nature you knew I would force it upon you." I bullshitted my way through.

"Did anyone tell you that you should be a storyteller? That's the best fictional story I've ever heard." He tried to sound so amaze. "But I must be damn good, to trick the brilliant Artemis into giving me her virginity. I should write a book about it, maybe it called it how to land in the moon. Get it? Because your domain is the moon and-"

"Yes I get it Perseus I'm not dumb." I rolled my eyes, regretting why did I even tried talking nonsense with him. "Now let's go. We have some explaining to do." I pulled us off the bed.

"You told them about us?"

"What no! But it's not far from getting exposed. Because of what you did with Diana yesterday night and me being locked up, I lost control of my domain and the moon practically went crazy. Hopefully my father or anyone else doesn't grill us about it or everything is going to be exposed." I went to tidy myself up in front of the mirror.

"Before I get to the part of why are you so scared of going public, where are all my clothes?" Perseus popped the question, and I literally froze on the spot.

"Umm…" I turned over to him timidly, my fingers intertwining with each other.

"Oh gods don't tell me…"

"I told Thalia to burn them all?" I smiled at him, and he buried his face into his hands.

"Oh my gods why did you do that? You could have just have them sent to Hestia's place if you didn't wanted to see me."

"I just went through a breakup ok! I was lost… and uh I didn't know what I was doing. I just wanted them out of my sight." I raised my voice at him. "There's still a chance Thalia disobeyed me and kept them in her tent." I suggested the possibly.

"I don't know really, but if they are indeed all burnt you and I are going shopping whether you like it or not."

"Why shopping? Aphrodite can-"

"Well how nice of you two to just leave me after all I've done?" There was a blinding flash, and at the exit of the tent stood an angry looking Diana.

It's going to happen. The decision and the exposure of their relationship. I decided to push Zoe's part later because obviously Zeus isn't going to accept the fact that her daughter would have to share her husband... not if he's already given the approval for Percy/Artemis's relationship. Then he can happily fuck off because it's going to be their private relationships matter. As they say in Chinese- A married out daughter is like spilt water. Roughly around the translation. Till then, review and bye!
