APOLLO POV
I was on my way to visit my sister and the hunters when I heard a cry for help and loud sobbing. Making my way through the bushes, I found one of my nieces being assaulted by a guy. He was trying to kiss her and telling her "stop playing hard to get, you know you wanted this" I came up from behind and pulled him off of her. I got a few good punches in, then I took out my dagger and slit his throat, and finally I used my power to burn his body to ashes.
My anger forgotten, I was kneeling next to Gwen, "Gwen, it's alright, I'm going to heal you and get you back to Arty" my hands began to lightly glow. I slowly go up and down her body, healing any marks and external wounds that the man left on her. But my healing won't be enough to heal her mentally. I didn't hear anyone coming up behind when I was suddenly pulled back by my hair "YOU FUCKER, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" my sister Artemis; goddess of the moon and the hunt, was screaming at me. I instantly knew it looked bad.
I was towering over one of her hunters, the said huntress was naked and crying. "IF YOU WERENT IMMORTAL, I WOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW" "listen...Arty..." I tried to explain "NO YOU DONT CALL ME ARTY AND I DONT NEED TO LISTEN. YOU RAPED ONE OF MY LADIES AND I WILL MAKE SURE YOU PAY FOR THIS" she screamed "I didn't" a sharp sting hit my cheek and I knew she slapped me 'can't she just let me explain what happened. I shouldn't have burnt the body so fast' Artemis was hitting me, I didn't want use self-defense otherwise it'll look like in her eyes that I did hurt my niece.
15 minutes later of punching, screaming, and kicking "I refuse to be related to a disgusting male like you. But I don't know one way that you can never be around me again" my eyes grew wide "LADY CHAOS, HEAR THY WORDS, I, ARTEMIS GODDESS OF THE MOON HEREBY BREAK MY BOND WITH APOLLO GOD OF THE SUN FOR I SHALL NEVER BE HIS SISTER, HE IS TO STAY AWAY FROM MY HUNTERS AND I, HE IS TO NEVER CONTACT ME IN ANYWAY, UNLESS ZEUS INVITES US TO MOUNT OLYMPUS." Thunder can be heard letting the both of us know that her words are heard and it was sealed. I can never be near my sis...Arty...no, Artemis ever again.
I felt my heart breaking into 2 pieces, almost literally. Considering that we're twins, we shared powers with each other. The magic she gave me was ripped out like in the movies when someone rips the guts out when the person is still alive. The same thing happened to Arty. She took the unconscious Gwen into her arms and flashed away in my silver light.
I laid there for the past hour, crying. My face and eyes are stained red. There's nothing left for me here except for my kids but they hardly know me so I guess they'll never know that I'm gone. I stood up and with a wave of my arm, a portal opened and I stepped through it. Voices are heard and blackout.
Back at Artemis's camp
(Artemis' POV)
Anger still burned in my heart after what I saw Apollo was doing to Gwen. She laid in my tent for several days in a small coma. I allowed my nephew Asclepius into my camp to heal her, some of his daughters are in my camp but they don't have the skill for healing like Asclepius does. "Her wounds are already healed Aunt..." I didn't show it on my face, I was confused by his statement. As I was about to demand him to explain, I heard a light "Lady Artemis" I waved my nephew away and he flashed back to Olympus. Entering my tent, Gwen was trying to sit up "No, you should lay down, you're still hurt" I spoke softly like a concerned mother. "Where's Apol..." I cut her off "don't speak his name," Gwen tried to form words "but he..."
"I know what he did, he sent him far away so he won't hurt you and any of the girls"
she bolted up "What are you talking about mi'lady, Lord Apollo didn't do anything, he saved me"
"Don't try to defend him Gwen, I saw him over you while you were naked"
"I'm sorry for what I'm about to say Lady Artemis but Apollo didn't rape me. A man was following me from behind and stupidly I didn't sense him in time. The man was the one who raped me. I don't know how long but Apollo came and pulled the man off of me and killed him. He burnt the body into ashes. He was just healing me before I blacked out. I don't know what happened after but I really need to talk to him"
Gwen maybe mortal but she never lied unless absolutely necessary. She's been in my hunt for 300 years, she knew Apollo in and out. She didn't want his help and is quite capable of handling things herself. To see her so vulnerable, so open, she really wanted Apollo despite her hunter of Artemis status. I was to careless in my choice of words, how can I explain everything to her after she passed out. I sent Apollo away without hearing his side. I sent my little brother away and broken my bond with him. He can't be anywhere near us anymore. "You still have to heal but I must go to Olympus" I rushed out of my tent and instructed Zoe to keep an eye on Gwen. So many thoughts are running through my head, I pushed away the one person I could rely on even tho he could be flirty with my girls but he never failed to appear when I asked for him. What kind of sister am I? Tears filled my eyes as I flashed myself in front of Apollo's temple, chaos can punish me later, I needed to see him.
I knocked on the door...no answer
I knocked again...still no answer
"Apollo, please. I'm sorry, I didn't listen when you asked me to. I got very angry when I saw Gwen naked and very stupidly accused you of raping her when you were healing her, she told me everything about what happened." sniffle "Apollo...please open the door so I can apologize to your face."
No one single sound came from the other side of the door. I went to open it and unsurprisingly his door is unlocked. I enter his temple only to find it empty "Apollo?" I called out. Looking good around, some of his stuff is gone like his medical binders and his clothes. (Not like he needed them, we're gods we can conjure clothes out of thin air)
