Annabeth POV

"I'll be right back then we can tell the girls the whole story of what happened," I said before I ran to put the orb holding the snow goddess in the punishment room, or really whatever we are calling it. I threw open the door and put the orb down on the nearest table, but it tried to roll away. I put it down on the ground so it couldn't break without us knowing about it.

I then felt a wave of the room's power to take away powers, luckily it was only a little bit as the door only closed for a few seconds. I ran back through the door and closed the door behind me and was about to walk back to the main room when I heard a thud and then an "Ow". Well shit, that's not good. I ran back over and found my Seaweed Brain on the ground after rolling off the couch. By the time I got there Piper, Thalia, and Katie were woken up and were investigating.

I knelt beside him and felt his pulse and heard him breathing. "He's still alive. Piper grab the lights. Thalia help me move him to the bed. Katie go grab some medical stuff and some saltwater for his rag."

They all just nodded and did as they were told. Thalia came over and grabbed Percy's legs and we carried him over to the bed and now in the light we could see how bad he was. There were bruises all over and a few spots where frostbite was clearing up. He had a few more places of white hair, not just the one that we shared. Piper helped me get his shirt off while Thalia got his pants off, not in the fun way. By this time Katie came back and had some medical stuff from the pool, some rags band-aids and a bucket of saltwater. "This is all I could find in the cabin. Do you think we'll need more than this?"

The three of them looked at me while I looked over our injured Master. I then looked at my arms and legs and found some bruises and a couple spots that hadn't healed yet from Khione's ice takeover. "Ya we'll need some nectar and ambrosia. Katie you take Piper and get some. Piper if anyone asks just make them not really care. Got it." Thalia said while I was trying to put everything together.

Katie and Piper looked at me and I nodded. They put on their shirts and pants and ran out to grab medical supplies.

Thalia then sat next to me on the bed and put her hand on my shoulder, "Are you ok?"

I took a deep breath and said, "I'm better than he is right now."

"That's not an answer. Are you ok?" She asked while making me look at her.

I tore my eyes away from my injured boyfriend and looked at my best friend, "We've both been through some shit, too much, and Percy has always been there for me and all of us. He went rogue and saved me when it was your quest,"

She leered at him and said, "Still need to get him back for that." She then cracked a smile.

I smiled and said, "He did so much before he was even 16 and without a second thought. Then he went and jumped into Tartarus for me. I like to think that we helped each other get through it down there but it was mostly him. I helped here and there but it was mostly him."

"You guys saved each other time and again down there. You kept each other sane."

I knew she was right, but I still felt useless when looking at his banged-up body next to us. "Then when we go on a rescue mission together, I get captured and controlled and forced to fight him." I could feel tears starting to roll down my face.

Thalia closed the distance between us and wrapped me in a bear hug, "It's not your fault. Without you we would have all been killed a dozen times over...Percy probably double that. So, what you don't go diving in headfirst into everything? You are the smartest, kindest, sexiest, and smartest, best friend anyone could ask for."

I wiped some of the tears away and said, "You said smartest twice."

"That's just how smart you are," she then let go and grabbed a rag and started to clean up our idiot.

"Thanks Thalia. But I got to say something..."

"Ya?" she said while ringing out the rag that she just dunked into the saltwater.

"It's really hard to take you seriously while your tits are out, and you only have hot pink panties on."

We both laughed after she muttered "last time Piper is allowed to dress me".

"That's not much of your choice now is it?" I said while raising an eyebrow.

"Hopefully you and Percy are the only ones going to give me orders, Piper had me please her and Katie for hours and didn't give me any…. so, I REALLY hope this doesn't take that long as I kinda need some," she then trailed off as she looked at the bulge in our Master's boxers.

I started to chuckle, "You know you chose to go years without any."

"We still fucked each other in the Hunt though," she then put the rag in one of her hands and the other lite up. She then put the rag back into both hands and it started to steam. Her hand light died out and then she applied the now steamed towel onto a few of the frostbitten spots.

After seeing that, "Hey… can you make one of those for me too?" I tossed her a damp towel.

"Right away...Mistress," she mocked before she heated up the towel, I tossed her. She then handed it back. I was so warm and cozy just sitting in my hands. I just wanted to wrap myself up in a blanket that was this warm. I used it really quick to help some of my cuts and bruises and spots where frostbite was still lingering then went to doing the same for the idiot that I love.

A couple minutes went by of us just trying to clean Percy up before I said, "Thanks Thalia."

She cracked a small smile and said, "No big deal...you would have heated up a towel if you could for me."

"Not for that, for-"

"I know. You would have done the same thing for me," she then looked up at me and said, "What else are sisters for?" She then thought for a second before saying, "Actually we're more than just sisters now...we're like sisters times two or sisters squared."

I just looked at her while trying to keep a straight face, "Please leave that to him, I can only handle one person I love making stupid puns and jokes."

We then both laughed. "Love you too Owl Face." She then leaned in and kissed me on the lips. Nothing long or sexy, unfortunately there was a passed-out idiot...I mean Master between us. Just something quick and then we both went back to cleaning him up.

Another couple minutes passed before Piper and Katie came back with supplies. They put down what they got at the foot of the bed. "How's he doing?" Katie asked.

"Nothing has changed yet. We just cleaned him up a bit," Thalia said while grabbing some supplies. Then everyone started doing what they could. Katie patched up a few things on his head and assured us that she could feel his energy slowly coming back. While she was doing that, the rest of us worked on the rest of him. By the time we were all done he had a few wraps here and there, a temporary cast on his wrist, and had a cup of nectar with a crazy straw (blue of course) at his mouth being held by Katie.

When I felt like we could finally sit back and take a breath a bit, there was a flash of light in the room. I turned and saw it was just Artemis and Aphrodite coming back, still in their goddess dresses. Artemis was the first of the two to react to our bandaged-up master and came over and asked, "How long has he been like this? He was fine during the meeting."

"Around an hour maybe? It's kinda hard to judge time when your mind is running around faster than time is moving," after taking a breath I continued, "During the meeting his body was still probably kicking out so much adrenaline from the fight and then the whole 'Let's see if we're going to kill you today or not' meeting." Ya I had a little chip on my shoulder towards the gods at the moment.

Thalia chimed in and said, "Anyone want to fill those of us that were stuck here in on what happened?"

Feeling tired myself, "Artemis fill her in on what happened with Khione and then the meeting. I'm going to take a shower to wake myself up a bit."

"Do you want-" Aphrodite began before I cut her off finishing her sentence, "you to clean up the cabin and then make sure Khione is still in her snowball and if she gets out then put a magic proof collar on her? Yes, yes I would."

She didn't really like that answer but I turned and went to the bathroom after I heard, "Yes Mistress". The door shut behind me and I quickly striped out of what I still had on.

I turned on the water and waited for it to get nice and hot then stepped in. I just stood there and let the water run down my body. It felt so nice after today. I just needed some time to process everything. First getting kidnapped after being there to save Eros. Then getting my brain frozen and controlled by a frozen bitch. Then forced to fight the love of my life. Then the whole trial stuff and Eros sacrificing himself. It's a lot to process, even for a demigoddess.

The trial made me not really in the best mood with the Olympians at the moment. The one that did something wrong was Khione, who is getting punished, but we didn't. Eros didn't, besides exist at the wrong time.

Then there was Percy. I-I just couldn't look at him any longer just laying there like that. Ya he's been beat up and broken before but not this bad before. He stressed his body so far, for us, and it's just going to get worse. He's just going to get more and more power and I don't know if he'll be able to handle it, mentally and physically. I then sat down and just let the water run down onto me. I couldn't stand anymore; I could only stay strong for so long.

So, I just sat there, head in my lap just trying to get everything back together. I don't know how long I was in there for. A couple minutes? A half hour? I don't know. Just couldn't get back up. I then heard the door open and close. Before I could put myself back together, I heard next to me, "Thought so Wise Girl". I turned and found Thalia coming in and sitting down next to me. "We all go through it here and there. Some days are harder than others, but we all go through it."

She then hugged me and after I rested my head on her shoulder. "How the fuck did I do this every day without you being there?"

She laughed a bit and said, "I know...I'm pretty awesome," then she kissed my head. "Plus, for the past few years you've had that lovable idiot to help you balance things out. Everyone needs someone to lean on and when that person isn't there you fall. You can stay there till they can help you or you can dust yourself off, or in your case dry yourself off, get up and go help them."

I looked up into her electric blue eyes and said, "That was really corny and inspirational speech sounding. You still Thalia?"

She just smiled and said, "I've had to give this speech a time or two. Sometimes to fellow Hunt members and sometimes to people who just needed to hear it."

I rested my head back on her shoulder and closed my eyes, "Thanks Thalia".

"Anytime Wise Girl," she said as she wrapped her arm around me. We sat there for a couple minutes or so before she said, "Not to rush you but I'm starting to get all wrinkly and you are very wrinkly, you good to come back to the room?"

I turned myself and threw my leg up and was able to turn off the water, I also slipped a bit and my head went from Thalia's shoulder to her lap.

"Like what you see?" she asked while trying not to laugh.

"Honestly? I think you looked hotter with short hair," I said before we both started to get up. Thalia was the first to get up, hey she wasn't sitting on the ground trying to put everything back together...for as long as I was, and she offered her hand.

I took it as she said, "I KNOW but Kelp Head wanted me to give the long hair a shot. It's so annoying having long hair. It always gets in the way and it takes FOREVER to dry."

"But it looks nice and you can look sexy with it and you can braid it and it's easier to play with absentmindedly." We then went over and grabbed a towel, which felt like it had just come from the dryer. We both stopped for a moment and just took the warmth in, don't judge me you do it too.

"Or I can just be my normal sexy as hell self but with short hair. I don't like braids and I can still play with my hair even when it's short. Plus, then it can't get in the way in a fight." She said before she walked over and opened the door and I followed.

I saw Percy all bandaged up and Katie, Artemis, and Piper tending to him. It looked like Katie was trying to give him some of her energy to try and wake him up faster. Artemis was bending moonlight so it would hit him. Then Piper was keeping him warm and swapping out rags for fresh ones. When we walked out, they all noticed us and just nodded and kept doing what they were doing.

Piper was the first to speak, what she was doing required less concentration than the other two, "We think he's doing better. Katie says that his energy,"

"You can also call it mana, makes it more interesting," Katie chimed in.

Piper smiled a little bit and continued, "ok then his mana according to the high wizard of plants and comic book/geek culture references is slowly returning. What Artemis is doing is speeding it up a little bit but since her domains haven't settled in him just yet it's only doing a little bit."

"Not to get off topic but can we make that my official title?" Katie asked while looking at me and trying to keep the mood light.

I smiled and said, "Sure but isn't wizard more for guys? Like wouldn't you be more of a high witch?"

"Well you see...wizard sounds cooler so let's go with that."

"That's a pretty good reason to me, men always get the better titles," Artemis chimed in. I walked closer to them and could see that most of his physical wounds had healed. I could also see that Artemis and Katie were both exhausting themselves doing what they were doing.

I turned to Thalia and said, "Get them some nectar and ambrosia, at this rate we'll have 3 people passed out from overusing their powers." She nodded and went to grab some. "Any real change?"

Piper said, while wringing out a new rag, "He made a couple noises a little after you left and tried to move his right arm but quickly stopped. Nothing since."

His right arm? I thought. Then I realized that that is the arm closest to the bathroom and it wasn't long after I closed the door before, I started to breakdown. I rolled my eyes, Even in this state you are still trying to be there for me. Dam I love you Seaweed Brain...damn it now he's somehow got me doing those stupid dam jokes.

I looked around and found the cabin pretty clean, considering what was going on currently. "Where is Aphrodite?"

"She went to check on Khione a couple minutes ago," Piper said before using the new rag to clean up what was left of his wounds.

Then as if on cue, we all heard Aphrodite come stomping down the hall from the dungeon and when she came through the doorway she said, "I always fucking hated her" with venom in every word. Her once nice goddess dress had several tears in it now and was falling off her shoulder. Her hair was a complete mess. I could even see a few cuts leaking out some of her golden blood. Honestly...it looked like she was ready to kill someone. She went and grabbed herself some nectar from where Thalia was and took a sip. After a brief pause she said, "You will all be happy to know the ice queen now has a collar on her and is chained to the wall."

"You didn't have to chain her-" I started

"Oh, but I wanted to." She then took a long deep breath and finished what was in her glass. I could see some of the cuts already starting to close, but the dried ichor was still there. She continued with, "I am sorry Mistress for interrupting you. I got the collar on her but that knocked off whatever was making her just sit there. Her nails were like talons and she got a couple of good scratches in before I was able to chain her. Needless to say, she's quite mad. As I was leaving, she was saying something about killing or enslaving all of us," she then shrugged.

Piper rolled her eyes and said, "Like we haven't heard something along those lines before."

We all laughed a little bit at that and then all eyes went to me. Artemis was the first to say something with, "What should we do now? He's pretty much healed up as much as we can help him like this and Khione is collared,"

"And chained," Aphrodite said with a smile.

"And chained. Should we just all rest? Get ready for the day? Start Khione's punishment?"

"Um..." I said before I started to stare off a little bit. You know how when you are thinking of an idea or trying to put things together in your head and you just accidentally stare at something? That's what I was doing. "Well I don't think we should start with Khione just yet; he did swear that he would be responsible for that. There's not much else we can do right now but we should be ready if something happens..."

"So?" Thalia asked.

"So, Piper and Katie, you both head back to your cabins and rest. Artemis you can head back to the Hunt if you would like, we'll let you know when he wakes up. Aphrodite I would like you to stay here with me and Thalia, just in case." Piper and Katie silently went on their way, both too exhausted to even say goodnight. Aphrodite then raised her hand, "Yes?"

"Could I go grab something from the pool?" she asked.

"I guess. When did you leave something down there?"

"Oh, I didn't leave anything, there's a bar down there and after all of this I need a stronger drink," she said as she was walking away. "Arty do you want anything?"

A little shocked she said, "No thank you."

Thalia started to say, "I'll take a-"

"Don't bother, it's enchanted. It would turn to saltwater the moment it entered your mouth until you turn 21," Artemis explained.

Thalia then muttered, "Stupid camp with stupid enchantment from stupid gods."

Artemis smirked before saying, "Let me know when he wakes." I nodded and, in a flash, she was gone.

So, then it was just me and Thalia...well and a broken and battered Percy but he was unconscious, so he didn't currently count. I laid down on the couch and Thalia did the same but on the opposite side. "So, what are we going to do? Do you want to…." The princess of lightning, who didn't realize that the enchantment wouldn't work on her because of her time in the tree and the Hunt, asked while growing a sly and sexy smile.

I looked at my oldest friend and said, "I've had a pretty fucking long day. First, we went on a quest, then I got mind controlled," I then looked at Percy and realized that his magic does practically the same thing when you think about it. "Well the bad kind of mind control that makes you fight your boyfriend/master. Then had to watch as he told all the Olympians about our sex lives and almost die. Then had to watch Eros give himself up and protect all of us, as annoying as he was...he started to grow on me. Then we get back and all of this happens."

Her smile grew less sly and more caring, "I'm taking that as a no then Wise Girl." She then got up and grabbed both of us some blankets as our injured master/boyfriend was kinda taking up the full bed.

Through a yawn I was able to say, "I really wish that I had enough energy to fuck but I don't. It would be so nice after a day like..." was all I got out before I drifted off to sleep.


Wow a shitload has happened since I last posted a chapter...HOLY SHIT I HAVEN'T POSTED ANYTHING THIS YEAR YET?! It's fucking March and no new chapters? Damn. Ok so I had a LOT going on. I had classes going on, dealing with roommates, and the always fun spiral towards depression...like could probably legit be diagnosed by now. Like as much as I love writing this and as much as it is an escape from IRL to me I just couldn't find the want to do it. Hopefully that's better now. So that covers Jan and Feb. Then towards the end of Feb I got a message from the user LastRonin, and later Lieschke2000 too, saying they found someone copy and pasteing my story as their own. I found it pretty easy and called that "author" out in the reviews, it was fucking awesome when other people did too. I don't know if the "author" took their story down or if it was support, cause I did file a complaint and I think others did too, but that is now over. Thank you for the couple people who also reviewed the copied story, it was really cool to see others come to my help.

Then finally all this virus stuff has gone from Defcon 5 all the way to Defcon 1 in like 2 days and now we are under a "shelter at home" order to prevent the spread. I just keep thinking of the Men In Black quote "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it...". All my classes, in my last semester of college, have been moved to online for the rest of the semester and graduation is up in the air of when. Then all this has kinda made it so if you had a March birthday you are just out of lucky lol. Wash your hands, don't be an idiot, stay healthy, stay at home if you can.

Ok something about the story now...so how did you guys like that? I kinda like doing Annabeth POV chapters here and there. I feel like you can tell when I was kinda in my spiraling bit, more emotional and sappy and kinda angry. Percy will be back up in the next chapter and start to deal with everything. Now a couple of questions: Should all the Olympians finding out about the harem effect things or not really? How much should Khione be punished? Who should be the next girl to join? I have ideas where to go but need to know where you all want to go.

Stay healthy and see you in the next chapter...I'll try and make it sooner than three months but no concrete promises.
