A/N: Yes the last chapter was short, I had writer's block. Bite me...

Marik woke up drenched in sweat. He hadn't realized he had been crying until Reyna came in to ask him if he was ok. Artemis was nowhere to be found, and for some reason, that had scared him. He was quick to put on a tough face in front of Reyna. He didn't quite know what to make of her yet. They had hardly talked, and honestly, he didn't want to. But still, he needed to at least understand her better if they were to survive. "Reyna" Marik said slowly, "Sorry for acting like a dick, i mean- it's just-" "Marik stop, it's fine. To be hones, i half expected for you to act this way because of what you saw and what you were forced to indure" Marik was stunned, speechless, so Reyna continued, "I understand why you were mad at me, but please forgive me, for lady Artemis' sake, please." As Marik stood, he said "I was never really mad at you, I just needed someone to blame so I could get over it", and then he left.

Artemis was out by the pool smoking. "I thought you didn't like drugs", Marik said, "I don't, just needed one I guess". Then she threw the pack to Marik. He just laughed. He lit one up too and they started talking about random stuff.

When Marik and Artemis walked away, he started thinking about the prophecy Apollo had issued. He still couldn't believe it, he had a good mind to travel to Olympus and bitch slap Apollo. 'Now there's an idea' thought Marik. Hey, Artemis, can you take me to Olympus for a minute please". "Um- ok", and in about 3 seconds they were in Olympus. Before they walked in the door Marik asked artemis to teleport them out of there when he said bitch. She laughed and said ok. When they walked in, Marik asked Apollo to come down to mortal size and talk with him for a minute. Apollo said ok. As soon as Apollo was human size, Marik slapped him, leaving the gods stunned. As Apollo looked up, he recieved another slap, and another, and another, and them Marik called him a bitch. Artemis teleported them both out.
