Supernatural resurgence of moonlight Chapter four
It was now 2003 and I had been in the supernatural world for a little over two years, admittedly when it came to hunting I was among the best of the best but what do you expect when you're a hunter of Artemis? Dean Winchester and I met up a few more times, with him trying and ultimately failing to kill me each and every time… I still worshipped Artemis who seemed to rather enjoy my company and with the date being February 14th I finally decided to try my luck at asking the literal goddess out to dinner…
I gathered the summoning ingredients as well as Artemis favorite offering and lit the flame… Hello Blake! Artemis greeted me. Hey Artemis. I greeted back. Even after knowing her two years I was still amazed at how pretty Artemis actually was, I believe I have stated this before but she puts most supermodels to shame! Another thing that shocked me was her height, I'm only five foot seven and I was at least two inches taller then Artemis was! Don't let her small size fool you though! Artemis gets pissed off at you, I recommend running! Dean found that out the hard way, after the last time he tried to kill me Artemis hunted him down and broke his left arm AFTER tearing it out of the socket, and for a man like Dean getting your ass kicked by a girls the worst thing that can happen!
Artemis I actually have a question for you. I started nervously. And that would be? She asked quizzically. If I said I wanted to take you out tonight what would you say? I asked. Something I did not expect entered the goddesses eyes as she whipped out her hunting knife and shoved me against the wall with the knife at my throat… I hope you realize I can kill you easily, and for that threat after everything I have done for you I really should! Artemis said. Whoa, wrong meaning! I said quickly. Realization dawned in Artemis eyes and she said "Oh.. You had meant on what you humans call a date." I carefully nodded…
Truthfully as I am a maiden goddess I should refuse, but I believe I will accept your offer! Artemis said smiling. My jaw dropped as she vanished.. Naturally as soon as she left the realization Artemis said yes hit me and I started scrambling to get ready, little did I know she was practically doing the same thing…
Meanwhile on mount Olympus… Artemis took a deep breath as she knocked on her sister Aphrodite's door… Moments later the door opened and an extremely attractive brunette stood there.. Artemis is something the matter? Aphrodite asked. I need your help with something sister, the man whos been giving me offerings for the past two years has asked me on a date, and you know more than I do when it comes to that.. Artemis admitted. Aphrodite's jaw dropped momentarily before she squealed happily and dragged Artemis into her mansion and up to a room that looked like a salon and Artemis thought "What did I just get myself into?.." Three hours later Artemis stood in front of a body length mirror wearing a shin length strapless silver dress with matching heels.. Well? Do you like it sis? Aphrodite asked hopefully.
Examining herself in the mirror Artemis replied "I believe I do! I Greatly appreciate this Aphrodite.." What are elder sisters for? Aphrodite said smiling.
I stood in front of Asiago Steakhouse waiting for Artemis, I glanced at my watch and it was 8 pm on the nose.. I couldn't help but think "Did she change her mind?" I felt a tap on my left shoulder and I looked back to see Artemis…
My mouth fell open.. I hope this is acceptable? Artemis asked gesturing to her dress. I couldn't help but notice the dress was a low v-neck and it was a bit revealing… I nodded and held the door open… As Artemis made to sit I hurried over and pulled her chair out for her…
Thank you. She said. Of course! I said. I quickly sat down and a waiter walked over and asked "What can I get for you and your date to drink tonight sir?" For me, Whiskey. I said. What would you like Artemis? I asked. She quickly scanned the menu and replied "Red wine." I will have that out soon, take this time to look over our menu and decide on an entree. As our waiter walked away I decided to ask Artemis something… So Artemis why did you decide to agree to go out with me tonight? I asked. She took a deep breath before replying… To be truthful I don't know, If I wish to be honest with myself I rather enjoy your company, you're the first male who i can actually say that about. Artemis replied.
I'm honored by your words. I said. And you, why is it me you decided to ask on a date? Artemis asked. Its hard to explain. I said. I don't suppose you care to elaborate on that? She asked. Well I've kind of had a bit of a crush on you since I summoned you two years ago and its just escalated ever since and I guess I just now got the courage to actually do something.. I said. Well then you truly do have my respect, in all my years I've found most men can hardly control their lust for five minutes when it comes to women, you've controlled yours for two years. Artemis complimented. That's high praise coming from you! I said. You have no idea how correct you are on that! She laughed. I don't have to worry about Zeus smiting me for taking his favorite and not to mention virgin daughter out on a valentines day date do I? I asked nervously. At my words Artemis began to laugh uncontrollably for a few minutes before calming enough to say "I think you're safe from my fathers wrath!" Two hours later…
How in the hell arent you even a little drunk? I slurred as Artemis and I walked out of the restaurant.. Perks of being a goddess, I'm a bit more resistant to the effects of mortal alcohol! She giggled. Well Blake I must admit tonight was rather fun, and I most likely should have mentioned this at dinner but I hope you don't mind my company for a few days. Artemis stated. What? I asked. Remember how I said you were safe from Zeus? She asked. Please tell me you didn't lie? I said hopefully. Oh no I didn't lie, I know you're safe because my imbecile twin Apollo caught me as I left Olympus earlier and let it slip to My father that I had a date. Artemis explained. Oh shit… I groaned. You do realize this may spark rumors on Olympus? I asked. I'm aware, but I would really rather not attend a week and a half long party celebrating my first date! Artemis said. He wouldn't seriously do that would he? I asked.
In response Artemis snapped her fingers which conjured a piece of paper in her hand… Read this! She said handing it to me… I scanned the pamphlet which read and this is no joke "To all pantheons, come and join a week and a half long fiesta celebrating My daughter Artemis having her first ever date! Sincerely King of the Greek gods Zeus." You werent kidding. I said open mouthed. I told you! Artemis said. Well I guess you're more than welcome to stay with me for a week and a half. I said. Thats what I thought, or were you planning on throwing an attractive female out on the streets? She teased. Oh hell no! I said. Lets get back to my apartment. Too bad I barely made it two steps before passing out, turns out godly alcohol tolerance was NOT part of being one of Artemis hunters…
