Percy was in middle of training on some dummies when Hestia came in. He immediately was put on guard by her worried expression.

"You need to go Machai." She said.

Percy immediately understood that he was needed to save someone who was in an abusive home. You see, Percy and Hestia came up with the system of saying Percy while only on the property, but anywhere else is Machai. The only time to say Machai on the property, is when it`s important and someone they don't want hearing it is in the room.

'There are two five years old, one ten years old, and three fourteen years old. One of them, is….. a daughter of Poseidon.' Hestia thought to me.

Understanding and anger came to me, as my eyes widened. I nodded and ran to my room and put on my gear. Once I was done, I asked for the location, immediately got a picture of the place, and fire travelled.

Unlike Lexi`s house, this one was clean and in a nice neighborhood. The house looked to be a two story house, with the front being made up of red bricks and a small front porch. It had four windows that were facing the front, along with a dark brown wooden door. There also was a sign that read 'St. Nicholas` Orphanage' on the front lawn. (NOT SURE IF THE ORPHANAGE IS REAL, I MADE UP THE NAME)

He walked up to the door and knocked, hoping that nothing major was wrong. When the door opened, it showed a cute five year old looking at him.

"Well, hello there little guy. Is the owner available?" I asked while crouching down so I could be eye level with him.

His eyes widened and he got a scared look. I narrowed my eyes, but I used the power I got from Hestia to calm him down so he could talk. He started to calm down, but still had a scared look. I then heard a shout telling him to hurry up. The boy flinched and quickly gestured for me to get inside. I decided that I didn't like what was going on, so I quickly went to the room where I heard the shout.

When I arrived, the scene made my blood boil and made it hard for me to keep control over my anger. There were three teenage girls buck naked, strapped to a table, and spread like an eagle. The girl on the right had Percy`s hair and sea green eyes, the girl in the middle had light brown hair with blue eyes, and the girl on the left had brown hair and green eyes. There were three guys that already lost their shirts, pants, and shoes, but they still had their underwear.

He took one look at the scared faces of the girls and he knew that he couldn`t hold it in. He quickly told them to close their eyes, which they promptly did. Once they did, Percy let loose on the men who attempted to rape three young girls. He took out his silver knives, one in each hand, and managed to stab the closest two guys before the third was able to react. The third guy grabbed a kitchen knife and got an overhand swing. Percy deflected the swing and stabbed him through the neck, killing him immediately. Percy then cut the ropes that were holding the three girls and turned around so they wouldn't be embarrassed.

It started off as a regular day for the group of six that were at the orphanage. Even though, the orphanage looked clean and the owner seemed like a nice person, which was if there was a person that wanted to adopt someone at the orphanage. Once the person was gone that`s when the abuse began.

For the boys, they were treated like slaves and were constantly beaten. They also have to do all the hard work, even at a young age they were treated like slaves. For the girls, it was worse. At the age of thirteen, they were knocked out, stripped, and tied to a table; eagle position. Once that was done, the owner would call two of his friends and they would take turns raping the poor girl. The only reason why the people from the government haven't found out is because they threatened to kill any family that takes them in.

Though, the news spread like wild fire in the orphanage, but there was nothing the girls and boys could do anything. The boys were locked in their room for the day, while the rest of the girls had to make food. This time it was Emily, Olivia, and Mia`s birthday. Emily has black hair and sea green eyes, Olivia has light brown hair with blue eye, and Mia has brown hair and green eyes.

They started to strip and managed to get everything off except for their underwear. That`s when the doorbell rang. The guys looked confused and they looked confused. They waited a couple minutes, but then a man with a mask and a cloak came in. A couple of emotions went through his eyes but settled on rage. The man told the three girls to close their eyes, which they promptly did.

They waited for a minute and they heard a clang. They got more worried when they heard the clang, but got confused when they felt the ropes went slack. They opened their eyes when they heard him say they could. They were surprised when they sat up and saw the owner and his friends dead on the floor.

"W-who are you?" Emily asked.

"My name is Machai and I have come to save you." The man, now known as Machai, said.

The girls relaxed a little when they heard that he was here to save them. They looked around in hope to find their clothing. Tough they weren't sure where the horrible men took them. They were broken out of their searches when one of the girls from the kitchen brought them clothing.

"Tammy, how did you get these?" Olivia asked.

"There was this guy who called himself Machai, he came in and told us that we were free and that he`d take care of us. He also freed the boys and told us to get you clothing since the owners tore your clothing." Tammy explained, looking the happiest she`s ever been.

The girls looked at each other and smiled. Though when they looked around they saw the mystery man had left the room. They quickly got dressed and went looking for the mysterious man and the rest of their little gang. They luckily found them together talking about random things seemingly waiting for someone.

When they were a couple of feet away, the kids and Machai noticed them. The younger kids rushed up to them and gave them the tightest hugs they could manage. The two five year olds were twins. They had green eyes with orange hair and a dash of freckles on their faces. Also, their pale skin stood out in the group. Their names are Willow and Wilson.

The ten year old was following soon after. After the twins gave their hugs, he also gave the three girls a hug. He has silver hair and silver eyes, which seemingly glowed with power. His skin was very dark, almost like it was the night sky without the stars. His name is Franky and is like the glue that holds the small group together. He could sometimes be seen with the twins stuck to his side like ducklings to their parent.

"Glad to see your ok. The man, Machai, said.

The group jumped because they forgot that he was there. They looked at him warily, relaxed but alert. They weren't sure what his intentions were, but they were still thankful. The girls glanced at each other then got a closer look at the guy. The guy had a cloak with a hood, which somehow cast a shadow that blocks people from seeing his face, which went up to his chin. Though they couldn't be sure but it appears that the man has a mask underneath the shadow to cover his mouth. The cloak was midnight black and seemed to have an insignia on the back that seemed to stretch to the side. Other than that, they couldn't tell what he was wearing, or anything else for that matter.

"It`s thanks to you that we are ok." Emily said gratefully.

"So, what now?" Franky asked.

"Before I explain what your options are, first let me explain who you truly are." Machai said. So, he explained all about the Greek gods and goddesses and how they are alive. To say they were all shocked and didn't believe it at first. But they reluctantly believed him, after he showed them some water manipulation.

"So, now that you told us that we`re half human, what are our options?" Franky asked impatiently.

"For the boys, you have two options. One is to go to a place called Camp Olympus. It`s a mixture between Greek and Roman and you could stay there have peaceful lives, maybe go on a few death defying quests, and start a family if you survive. The second option is coming with me to my place where there are people who have a similar past; that being abused. I rescue them and give them a loving home." He explained.

Olivia then asked, "What about the girls?"

"For the girls, it`s the pretty much the same but with one extra option. There is a group of hunters that serve under the Greek goddess Artemis. They hunt monsters that are too powerful for the people of Camp Olympus, unless they actually train for it. The hunters are partial immortal, which means they can`t grow old, die of old age, and get the blessing of Lady Artemis. But they do this on one condition; they swear off love." Machai explained.

Mia and Emily frowned while Olivia seemed more content with this option. Franky and the twins looked warily at the girls, like they were scared of them leaving. Though Willow didn't even think about the option, to her family means everything and that means not leaving Wilson.

"So, those are your options. I will leave you be for a couple of minutes so you can discuss it among your group." Machai said.

He then left them so they could discuss it, but he had another reason for leaving them for a few minutes. He promised the rest of the orphans, that he would give them a nice place to stay. He fully intended to keep that promise.

Back with the group, they had an awkward silence among themselves, each not sure where to begin.

Then Wilson said, "I wanna go with this awesome guy. He`s so cool."

Franky chuckled at his eagerness. 'Looks like he has a new idol.' He thought. Then he said "I`ll go as well and if I don't like it I`ll leave."

"Maybe there is another person I could be friends with, so I'll go." Willow said.

The trio then looked at the three girls waiting for their answers. The girls looked at each other not being sure where to go. They all immediately got rid of the camp option and were stuck with going to the hunt and going with the man that saved them from being raped.

"If you go with the hunt, you`ll still be able to see each other just not as often as every day."

The whole group jump in fright. They turned and found Machai leaning on the wall, totally relaxed, like he didn't sneak up on them.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Emily asked.

"I am on good terms with the hunt, so they promised to visit a few times." Machai said.

Emily said, "I would like to go with you."

"I would like to go with you as well." Mia said shyly.

"I hope you guys don't mind, but can I be with the hunt?" Olivia asked.

Olivia looked down, thinking that they would be angry for not wanting to go with the group. She kept thinking that she messed things up with her friends. She was about to cry and walk away, when someone hugged her. When she looked to see who it was, it shocked her. Wilson was hugging her.

"If I`m able to see you, it's ok." He simply said.

Olivia gave a watery smile, when she saw that everyone else agreed. She hugged Wilson back. She felt so grateful that she had good friends. When they separated, they looked at Machai expectantly.

He sighed and said, "Hold hands and I`ll teleport everyone to the hunt, where you can have one last good bye."

Everyone joined hands in a circle and in a couple of seconds they disappeared in a column of fire.

Line Break Because I`m Awesome Line Break Because I`m Awesome Line Break Because I`m Awesome

The hunters were in middle of having lunch when a column of fire appeared in middle of their camp. They were quick to react; they dropped their food and grabbed their bows and arrows. When they drew their arrows, the flame died down and the people walked out of it amazed.

When the people managed to shake themselves out of their revere, they saw the arrows being pointed at them. They got afraid and started quivering. Then suddenly another column of fire appeared. When the fire died down, Machai appeared, tough he was breathing heavily.

"Remind me to get some more practice in, please? I think I am out of shape." He said as he promptly sank to the ground and laid on his back.

The people who came with Machai crowded around him, in worry. But he waved them off, saying he was alright.

"Everyone, meet the hunters of Artemis. Hunters, meet Willow, Wilson, Franky, Emily, Olivia, and Mia." Machai said as he pointed to each one of the group.

The group relaxed when they saw who it was. Everyone was a bit startled when Artemis crushed Machai in a hug. The two nearly toppled over, but he managed to regain his balance. The two groups couldn't see his face but they could tell he was smiling.

"How are you my little moon?" He asked.

Though they couldn't see her face, the hunters were sure that Artemis was blushing.

"I`m doing well. Now, why are you here?" She asked.

"Can`t I visit every once in a while?" He replied, seemingly with a pout.

"Not after you stormed out, without saying bye."

"You can`t blame me, mom said it was important and it was."

He then whispered the events that transpired before he arrived. To say she was pissed off was an understatement. She looked like she was going to go on a killing spree. When Machai looked at Artemis` face, he hugged her and held her until he felt comfortable to let go. She was struggling to be let go and started to hit. But, when she had to breathe, she smelled the sea. She was then confused, as they weren't near any ocean. That`s when it hit her and she stopped struggling.

When he did let go, Artemis seemed sad but happy at the same time. She was sad because she let her anger get the best of her and she hit her first love. But she also felt happy because her first love was hugging her.

The hunt cleared their throats. The two jumped apart blushing like crazy.

"Now that your done flirting, would you mind telling us why you`re here? Or else we will put a bunch of arrows where the sun don't shine." Thalia said.

Machai blushed and then paled, not that they could see it. "I brought a new recruit for the hunt." He said.

They looked at the group that was standing awkwardly since the beginning, not really sure what is going on.

"So, which maiden is going to join our ranks?" Artemis asked.

Olivia shyly raised her hand, which was unlike her. 'I guess she is naturally shy around new people.' Machai thought. "This will be good for her.'

Artemis turned to Machai and asked, "Do you know her godly parent?"

He shook his head. "I don't, but I have a good guess on who it is."

Artemis gave him a questioning look.

Machai sighed and said, "Hermes."

Artemis seemed to ponder the idea and nodded.

"Now that, that is over with, time to go home and take a nap." Machai said to Artemis.

To the group of demigods, he said "Time to go, say your last good byes for now, and then we are off."

The group crowded around Olivia for their last moment, for a bit. While the hunt, gathered around Machai. They made sure that Artemis wasn't in hearing distance before they asked the important question; Do you have feelings for Lady Artemis or Clarisse?

Machai blushed when they asked him the question, though he did ponder the question. "I definitely have feelings for both of them. They both are strong, independent, and aren't afraid of speaking their mind. Though I haven't had good luck with a love life, I will give it a shot. If I have to choose between either Clarisse or Artemis, I wouldn`t be able to choose between the two, and it scares me. Because I don't know how they will react, when I say, "Hey, I`m in love with Clarisse and Artemis."" He said hyperventilating at the end.

The hunt crushed him in a group hug. Once he calmed down, he gave them a questioning look.

"Why are you so calm about me loving two girls? I thought you would hate me for it." He asked.

"Because we know that you are an amazing guy and you wouldn't break a girl's heart." Phoebe said.

When Machai saw that the whole hunt agreed with what Phoebe said, he gave each and every one of them a hug.

"Thank you, for helping me." He said.

They smiled a chorused "No problem." Once everyone was done saying their good byes, the group gathered around Machai.

"All right, hunters, Artemis, and Olivia until next time, see you."Machai said, as he fire travelled out, to their home with the demigods.

And done!

Just saying, I`ll be taking a small break from writing this story because life is starting to catch up and I`m not sure how much I can wright. So once this chapter is up, the break will begin and there won't be a chapter up for, I don't know how long. Though I`ll try to still upload, it won't be as often as before. I`m sorry if you want chapters more often, it won`t happen.

Other than that,

Peace out!
