A/N, I hate clichés! However the reason I hate clichés is because they're never executed well. They're always executed in the same bullshit way across every fanfiction end at the end it's never complete! With that being said this is an Artemis X Percy fic. I always felt that there were too many fanfiction's about Percy meeting chaos and becoming the single most powerful being to ever exist and there just wasn't enough complete, well executed, realistic, and cohesive stories about a relationship blooming between Percy and Artemis.
Percy's POV.
"Percy"! My mom called from the kitchen at the least opportune time. I had just got done driving Apollo to camp and had ran into some spirits of sickness or whatever the hell he had called them. in trying to defeat them I caught the flu and on top of it, I had to deal with the police who drove me home in the back of a squad car. safe to say I was not having a good day. Cursing I crawled out of bed, got dressed, and stumbled out to the kitchen. "What"? I demanded annoyed with the day and just wanting it to be over. My mom pointed to the living room with the look that did nothing to call me down. gritting my teeth I marched into the living room and my eyes were immediately drawn to the teenage girl sitting rather uncomfortably on the couch. "no Artemis". I snapped turning and making to leave the room. I was not prepared to deal with the issues of another deity Who had problems that go figure, they couldn't take care of on their own. "Percy wait"! Artemis called as I made to leave. Turning around I fixed her with a glare worthy of Lupa herself. " what do you want"? I snapped, "don't tell me the great goddess Artemis who despises men has something that I, and only I can do"! I know what I said was petty, but I had just got done dealing with her stuck up, self-absorbed, and arrogant brother who refuses to believe that Zeus would dare to make him mortal for the third time. for fucks sake! I just saved the world for the second time and just wanted a little bit of peace. "as much as it pains me to say it, I do need your help". Artemis said sounding like she was about to cry, "Zeus stripped me of my powers in cast me down from Olympus as a mortal". "if there was anyone else I could go to for help, I would, but there isn't". "your The only person in the state of New York qualified to be my master". "what"! I said turning towards Artemis, " there's a camp full of Greek demigods on Long Island you could select from". " explain to me how I'm the only one that can be your master"! I know it wasn't wise to yell at Artemis, godly powers or no but I was fed up with this conversation. " my punishment is to serve a child of the big three for 25 years". she explained almost Breaking down, "Thalia is off-limits because she is my hunter, Nico is currently in the underworld helping Hades, that leaves you as my only other option". "and if I don't want a slave"? I asked annoyed with the fates and whoever else had a hand in making my life a great big ball of shit. "Percy please"? She begged tears now flowing freely down her face, "Zeus Will not only make my punishment much worse but he will probably punish you as well"! sighing I racked my brain for another possibility. "what about Jason"? I asked hopefully, "i'm sure Zeus would prefer you to be Jason's slave anyway". "no". She said shaking her head, " he was quite clear about me not selecting a Roman, that leaves Jason and Hazel out of the equation". " I don't particularly like you, but I don't wish to be punished by the king of the gods either". I said addressing my hands and not the teenage girl sitting in front of me, " give me time to think it over". " in the meantime you can talk to my mom, she'll get you a shower and some clean clothes". "I'll give you my answer after dinner". I said before turning and heading back to my room.
A/N, 732 words including the authors note at the beginning. From here on out I'll try to make every chapter at least 1000 words. Keep in mind that this is my first fanfic so it's not gonna be perfect but I'm going to make it as good as I can. Be sure to leave any constructive criticism in a review.
