Artemis PoV
The room I awoke in was bright and lacking in smell.I was in a small, almost completely white bed, and there was no one else in the room.
I pressed the button to summon a nurse, and Apollo appeared.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Groggy and sore," I replied. "What happened?"
"You got hit by a drunk driver while mortal. You almost died, and I convinced father to make you immortal again," he explained. "You've been unconscious for about three days."
"So my punishment was lifted?" I clarified.
My brother confirmed that I was no longer restricted. "Father seems to have forgotten about Cornelius. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Release me from the clinic," I replied.
He shrugged. "You're free to go right now if you'd like. Just don't do anything extremely exerting for the next couple of days and drink lots of nectar. Come back in if anything seems off."
I appeared back in my palace and took a deep breath in an attempt to clear my head.
Percy was with me when the drunk driver crashed into us. He could be injured.
I prayed to him, and he responded quickly, telling me that he was at his apartment.
With this information, I appeared outside his front door.
My boyfriend let me in quickly and pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm glad you're okay."
I sat down with him on the couch and traced the fading scar on his face. "You seem distracted. Is everything okay?"
He sighed and took my free hand into his. "Apparently, I got hit pretty hard on the head and it scrambled my brain really good. They fixed it up at the clinic, but I'm confused all the time."
I leaned up and kissed his forehead. "It'll get better. It just takes time."
Percy smiled and held me close. "I missed you."
There was a knock on the door. "Would you prefer I got it?"
He shook his head and leaned over to a keyboard and a floating mirror. He hit a key, and an image appeared on the mirror.
"It's Annabeth, my ex-girlfriend," he said, making the image disappear. "Just ignore it."
I kissed his cheek. "My Percy."
The god cupped my chin and ran his thumb over my cheek before he kissed me.
My eyes fluttered closed and my hands rested on his chest as he kissed me.
He continued to kiss me for another few minutes before pulling away to take a breath.
A blush crept up on my cheeks and I leaned into his chest. "I have to go to attend a meeting and speak with my sisters, but I'll come to visit again tomorrow, if not later today."
Percy hugged me. "Before you go, do you have a phone?"
I nodded and pulled it out, quickly filling out the contact before handing it to him for the number. After he filled out the other information, he handed the phone back to me and kissed my cheek. "Bye, dear. I'll see you later."
I smiled and returned to my palace, where Athena was waiting for me.
My sister hugged me tightly. "How are you?"
"I'm fine," I replied. "I'm still a bit sore, but that's to be expected."
"When did you start dating?" She asked. I cleared my throat. "What?" "You smell a tiny bit like man, and the ocean. You're not seeing Poseidon, are you?" She questioned.
"Gods, no!" I exclaimed. "That's gross! I am most definitely not dating Poseidon."
"Alright," Athena conceded. "So who are you dating?"
I sighed. "I've been seeing Percy Jackson. He helped me out when I was made mortal, and I would help heal him when he was injured during his tasks. We started dating a few months ago."
"How long have you been sleeping with him?" My sister asked.
"How could you possibly have figured that was sleeping with him?" I asked incredulously, feeling that this was going to be a long conversation.
