AN: I think you can guess who is going to be next from the title itself.
Time: 2 Days Later
"Jackson."
Fuck.
"Yeah, Artemis?"
"What are you doing?" Percy sighed, not moving his eyes from the lazily moving clouds to take a proper look at the probably pissed off moon goddess.
"And what took you so long to come talk to me?" He knew he was just adding fuel to the inevitable fire, but he could not care less.
"Answer my question. What are you doing?" She hissed out the last part.
"I'm looking at the beautiful clouds. See?"
She gritted her teeth. "Don't play smart with me, Jackson. I know exactly what you are doing. You slept with my sister." She hissed at him, finally dropping to sit by his side.
The two of them were sitting at the edge of the dining room, from where it abruptly dropped off to the cleanly mown lawn. The open glass door allowed them access to the outside as Percy leaned against the dining table, stretching his legs out so that his bare feet could rub in the soft, green grass, cool and soothing to the soles of his feet.
"Well, you know the plan that Athena proposed. You supported it. Asteria came to me, and I complied with her wishes. It was her first time, and I won't sleep with her any more until... everyone has had their share."
Artemis gritted her teeth. "Shut up, Jackson."
"It's the truth." She just had to go and disturb his alone time, after not talking to him for the previous day. She had no idea how rare alone moments were, when you were the master of a harem of -now- twenty-five girls.
"So are you saying that if I want a fucking, I can just ask for it?!" Artemis hissed.
Percy smirked internally, managing to keep a cool face on the exterior. She had probably meant it in a bad sense, but she had no idea how correct she was. "Pretty much, yeah. Well, usually, you can have a date, too, but if you're that desperate..."
"I did not ask for your opinion." Artemis snarled from her position beside him.
Percy sighed. "Why are you being such a bitch, Artemis?"
"Why are you being such a dick? I have been waiting for ten months to spend some time with you, and my sister gets that on her first day here- heck, she got that on her first day as a female!" She ranted.
Percy sighed, looping his arm around her shoulder to draw her closer to him. "What's wrong, Artemis? You know you can tell me anything."
She protested weakly, but Percy's grip proved to be too strong for her to escape. Instead, she settled for her position uncomfortably close to him, practically touching their hips, as she glared up at him with bright silver eyes, resting her chin on his sternum.
"Don't you love me?" Her lip trembled.
Percy was quick to react. "Absolutely not, Artemis. I love my beautiful moon goddess."
"Sounds a bit corny, don't you think?"
"I am corny." Percy gave her a crooked smile, which made Artemis sigh at him. She could never stay angry at him for long. Instead, she settled for snuggling deeper into his chest.
"I love you, Percy." Her heart raced, thumping against her ribs as she anticipated his answer, her nerves making her jumpy as her ears strained to pick up the slightest sound.
"I love you, too, Artemis. I just couldn't ever find you alone, to spend time with you. You're always busy, either with your Hunters or on the moon chariot. You don't know how long I waited for this."
"Really?" She looked up at him with wide silver eyes, her gentle voice giddy.
"Yeah." Percy smiled softly down at her, "I couldn't just go up and kiss you randomly, could I? Even though I have known you intimately for... like four years now, I was with Annabeth for most of that. And now... I am still learning how to handle twenty-five girls, Artemis. I don't want anyone to be sad, or feel unwanted, jealous or alienated. It's just... difficult sometimes, to take time out for everybody, and I often don't have anything for myself."
He quickly hastened to correct himself, "I mean, I love spending time with you all, but you know, sometimes, I just want to fight, to hunt with you, like old times, to train, to spar with someone."
She laid a hand on his shoulder gently, breaking him out of his thoughts. "I understand, Percy." Her lips curled up in a smile, though she felt slightly hollow inside.
Percy didn't want her around, right then.
She immediately chastised herself. Of course, he didn't want her around. He was tired, drained out physically and emotionally most of the time. She could not be so self-absorbed to ignore his interests. He had said that he loved her, the very words she had wanted to hear for so long, so, why did she feel like that?
She made a move to leave, but was stopped, as she was hugged tighter by her Dark god.
"Percy?" She questioned softly.
"Stay? Please?"
"I'll do whatever you want me to do, Percy." And she retook her spot on his lap, snuggling deeper into his chest. You couldn't find her complaining.
A small smile crept upon Artemis' face as she felt herself being hugged tightly by strong arms, enjoying the warmth and feeling of protection that Percy exuded.
The immortal son of Poseidon sighed as he enjoyed Artemis' warmth, her shorter frame fitting perfectly into his superior body. Her soft auburn hair tickled his stubbly chin, and her soft muscles cushioned his body. Today, he was wearing a newly released Sabaton 'Defense of Moscow' sleeveless vest, with black shorts.
His dark, sea-green eyes, examined the sky.
The day was, in a word, lazy. It sapped all energy from his bones, making his eyelids heavy and instilling frequent yawns as he craved the soft warmth of his bed.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds which foretold rain, another one of the frequent thunderstorms that plagued the tropical island of Ogygia, but were really blessings in disguise. There was no wind, surprisingly, considering they were right next to the beach, but the air remained cool, nonetheless. A slight lull dampened the calm air, which was cooler than most of the days there. Despite the calm atmosphere, the tall palm trees that lined the beach and dotted the swimming pool, swayed slightly, their fresh, emerald leaves rustling in the non-existent breeze. The invigorating smell of fresh earth hung heavy in the air, refreshing mind and body. The entire world was a splash of bright colours on a grey canvas, as Asteria's chariot hid behind countless, grey clouds, which swirled in the sky, rumbling with the occasional thunder.
Days like these were the ones that Percy liked best, partly because they offered him an excuse to stay in bed the whole day, and partly because... well, he liked them. The entire day would be calm and cool, with slight drizzles throughout the day, or a few heavy showers.
"I don't want to be lazy any more!" Percy announced loudly, making Artemis jump and look around him in surprise. He effortlessly stood up, carrying the small goddess as she weighed as much as a feather, making her yelp as she clung tightly to his vest, almost curling up into a frightened ball in his arms.
"Set me down, Percy!" She squealed, sighing when the Dark god gently set her on her feet.
"What was that?" She demanded.
"I want to play football! Or basketball! Or go for a swim!" He jumped about with childish energy, acting like a five-year-old high on sugar.
"And what's stopping you?"
"I don't want to be alone! Play with me, Artemis!"
Her face turned gold at his words, as her perverted mind, locked away for four millennia, jumped to a conclusion.
Percy stared at her blankly. "Mind out of the gutter, Artemis."
She blushed a brighter shade of gold as she was called out.
"What do you want to do? Choose quick, I can't wait!"
She pondered over her decision for a moment, before making up her mind. "Alright, Percy. We will play a game. Simple game, hide and seek. You'll seek me before the sun goes down, the entire forest is the playing field."
"Huh?" He stopped in his tracks, in the middle of dancing around her in circles. "Hide and seek?" He repeated, apparently not being able to wrap his mind around the idea.
"This way, you'll get your sport, and will be able to hunt me. I will be able to prove that I'm much better in the jungle than you. So, it's a win-win situation."
"And whoever loses, has to do any one thing that the winner wants."
Artemis halted for a moment, "Alright, but flashing is out."
"Alright, flashing is out." Percy agreed, knowing that he was willingly stepping into a trap. Artemis could use her powers in the jungle, but he could not... after all, just turning the entire island into a lifeless desert wasn't an option.
Didn't matter, Percy had better options up his sleeve.
"Count till five hundred, Jackson," Artemis ordered, before turning and sprinting into the dense rainforest.
"Counting till five hundred is boring." Percy spoke to himself, "I'm gonna go and play a round of COD... now, Black Ops, or Modern Warfare?"
An hour later, Percy stepped into the forest, knowing that he had 'only' seven or eight hours until darkness fell to find Artemis in her own element, otherwise he would lose. Didn't matter, he would need only thirty minutes to catch her, and that is, if he was having a really unlucky day. Well, at least more unlucky than that one day when he was playing a ranked match online, and was knocked out when his opponent was at only 4% health.
He smirked as he stepped into the dense rainforest, his thickly padded jogging shoes making no noise against the forest floor.
For the first time in his life, Percy acknowledged how loud the forest was, now that he was in it alone, without his earphones blasting heavy metal, or anyone accompanying him. He had to find Artemis, and fast.
But it was immensely difficult in the dark jungle, where no ray of light penetrated through the thick canopy. On top of that, the day was dark and cloudy.
Percy stumbled through the overgrown forest floor, trying to weave through rows of shrubs, herbs and vines that crisscrossed the soft, loose soil. Small spots of light danced on the entire world as the thick layer of leaves rustled and moved in the quiet breeze.
He cursed himself for not bringing a torch, at least. This was as bad as night. He felt his irritation peaked as he kicked a thick tree trunk, making it groan and tilt threateningly, with a gaping crater in its trunk spewing dry sand.
Percy yelped as he jumped back, having unwittingly activated his Dark powers to destroy the tree trunk. He yelped again, and jumped around as he felt his feet sinking into the ground, all the soil turning into fine, dry sand as creepers, leaves and shrubs turned to lifeless sand under his destroying, Dark feet.
"Careful there, Jackson. Don't want you turning the entire forest into sand!" Artemis' voice wafted in from seemingly nowhere, making Percy smirk. Alright, he had lost control, but there was a lot where that came from. He checked the internal clock which he possessed, thanks to his domain of night.
It did not tell him the exact time, but it did tell him that he had around seven hours and fifty-five minutes till sundown.
And he took off sprinting at full speed towards the direction from which Artemis' voice seem to come, channelling just enough of his Dark power into his feet to clear away all the underbrush impeding his speed.
The Dark god arrived at a clearing, and looked around. The light made it hard to see, and the sounds of the forest were too loud for him to discern anything else. Loud birds chirped in the trees, perched on branches as they stared down at him with beady black eyes. Crickets chirped from somewhere and the earth beneath his feet was alive, teeming with insects and creepy crawlies. He heard something crunch against the dry leaves on the forest floor, but he could not discern what.
All the trees looked identical to him, tall, with broad trunks and leafy arms that swayed and rustled. Artemis, or her Hunters could identify trees with some uncanny sense of direction, but Percy, who relied on marking their trunks with something so that he could navigate his way through of a forest... And Annabeth was hopeless at that. She had the worse sense of direction in a forest, than anyone Percy had ever seen.
She always got flustered whenever he called her out on it, and looked so cute... Hmm... Thalia also looked cute whenever she got flustered...
Percy smacked himself, trying to pay attention. An idea formed in his mind. "Okay, Artemis, I give up."
There was no response.
Damn. His lip twitched in a barely noticeable smile, as he recognized her seeing through his trick. He had to come up with better ideas.
He closed his eyes, sighing as he spread out his power, trying to locate her through their harem bond... but only a vague fuzz came up. She was too near her fellow sisters to be closely identifiable.
He was really in a pickle now.
What to do... what to do?
His dark, sea-green eyes wandered to the dark forest that lay beyond him, and his lips twitched up in another smile as a second, better idea came into his mind.
Percy was not sure if he could pull it off, but he would try, anyway. Twenty minutes had passed, and he still had ten minutes till his self imposed deadline, and then, seven hours and thirty minutes more to catch her.
Percy knew that as a demigod, he would never have been able to catch her, even if he had the entire day to find her.
But now, he was a God.
Artemis watched from her spot on a tree, as Percy disappeared back into the darkness of the jungle, sprinting again. She let out a breath that she did not know she had been holding, as she stared back at the spot where he had been just a moment before.
A shiver ran up her spine as she envisioned all the things that Percy would order her to do if he won, and she bit her lip.
Sometimes, she really hated her perverted side... the same side that Apollo, or Asteria, had embraced wholeheartedly.
But at the moment, as she relaxed on her makeshift platform at the topmost levels of the canopy, she could not but feel thankful for that side. She had a lot of time to kill.
Artemis sighed as she worked herself out of her shorts, and sat in her panties on the wooden platform. She chewed on her lower lip as she spied the wet patch darkening the silvery-white fabric, before deciding, fuck it.
Her hands crept to her sensitive areas, knowledgeable through four years of experience. Artemis blushed slightly as she remembered all those times she held a shouted conversation with Percy in the neighbouring tent, as she fingered herself to her Percy Jackson merchandise.
She had to thank the daughters of Aphrodite at camp for selling those nudes of the son of Poseidon. Of course, she had seized their entire stock, and wiped their memory, before running back excitedly to her Cabin.
A slight moan escaped her lips as she touched her sensitive, wet pussy through the fabric, her other hand snaking under her shirt to grope her massive tits. She flicked her erect nipple, moaning as she arched her back, thankful for her lazy morning decision not to wear a bra.
Her silver eyes widened as she snapped her mouth shut, her breath hitching as she froze in her compromising position. She stopped, her hand dipping under her panties, as she stared at Percy, who had reappeared in the middle of the clearing.
He was acting weird. Instead of searching through all the trees, he was staring hard at the invisible sky, resting his hands on his hips in a threatening manner.
"Having fun, Arty?" A voice whispered in her ear, and Artemis almost had a heart attack as her frightened silver eyes met dark sea green. A cocky smirk graced Percy's face as he stared at her form approvingly, as if she had just passed a test. His slightly sweaty scent made her feel light-headed.
And so, Artemis did the only thing anyone in her position would have done. She screamed, and jumped. Right off the platform at least fifty feet in the air.
The moon goddess fell screaming through the thick branches and trees, not hurt so far, as the trees of the jungle could never hurt her. But what she feared, was turning into a pancake as soon as she hit the ground.
Artemis squeezed her eyes shut in fear.
The next thing she knew, there was a grunt, and she was held in a tight hug by a strong pair of arms.
Her frightened silver eyes searched for her saviour's, meeting dark sea green.
"Percy... but you were just-" She pointed up at the platform, her frightened, racing mind not coming to the conclusion that he could have just flashed.
But Percy did, in fact, not flash down to the ground. That was for noobs.
He was... a pro. A pro that played the game so well, that people called him a hacker.
A figure dropped out of the tree, and Artemis stared at it.
Percy stretched to his full length, yawning as he stretched his arms lazily above his head. His short vest rode up a bit, revealing his sculpted abs, which would have made Artemis' mouth water in any other situation.
But right then, she just stared at him, and then back at the person holding her. She was met with Percy's face.
"Percy... am I going crazy?"
"Why do you think so, Artemis?"
"Because I think I see two Percys in front of me."
Percy smirked, a slightly sinister smirk that made Artemis feel uncomfortable, but yet, strangely excited. "That's because there are two Percys in front of you."
"Huh?"
He smiled, and waved his hand around.
And as Artemis watched, more Percys dropped from the trees, jumping to the ground with low, identical grunts, and others strolled from the trees.
She was looking at an army of Percy clones.
Artemis gulped.
