Artemis PoV

I was back with my hunters, preying upon the rather large assembly of monsters near the Canadian border.

A few months had passed since the whole "Falling off Olympus" debacle, and Percy was still a loving boyfriend.

I sighed and focused. This was an important mission, and I hadn't been able to contact him in weeks.

There was movement, and I sprinted after the fleeing monsters, leaving my hunters to handle the ones locked in battle.

The monsters believed themselves safe after a few miles' distance, but they didn't know who they were being followed by.

I scaled a tree and nocked an arrow.

With careful aim, skill, and practice, I managed to skewer three monsters with a single arrow.

A dracaena that seemed to be leading the group motioned for them to run, and I took my time picking them off.

Was it a bit sadistic to be torturing the monsters like that? Probably, but they had eaten, disembowelled, gutted, sacrificed, or otherwise harmed several demigods.

As I killed the last monster, I sensed another immortal appear nearby and use a substantial amount of what power they had.

I jumped from tree to tree until I found the source.

The goddess Khione was getting rather friendly with my boyfriend.

I felt this awful rage build up in my chest, my mind immediately going to the probability that he was somehow being forced into this.

Another arrow nocked, drawn, and fired, I found the problem.

She had frozen Percy.

I leapt from the tree, landing in front of my lover.

I raised my hand to his cheek, and he began thawing.

Rather quickly, the god was completely thawed. I assumed his being a Poseidon spawn made it easier for him or sped the process.

Percy started speaking quickly. "Hi Artemis, I know you've probably got questions and things to say, but right now I need to get Dominic from the tree."

He rocketed off to a nearby tree and climbed it with ease, retrieving a small boy that seemed to be about five or six.

"I'm going to drop him off at Camp Jupiter," my boyfriend explained quickly. "Hopefully I'll see you back at the palace later."

I sighed and tracked down my hunters, seeing that their task was complete and none had been harmed.

I replaced broken equipment and warned them of an incoming blizzard, giving my recommended route to avoid it.

What seemed like hours later, I returned to my palace.

It wasn't really my palace anymore, though. Percy and I had been living together for two months before I began hunting the large group of monsters.

My boyfriend was standing in the foyer. Something seemed off, but I pushed the thought away. "Welcome home, Artemis."

Quickly, I walked up to him and claimed a hug.

He kissed me lightly. "I missed you."

I returned the motion, closing my eyes as he took over.

Percy smelled strange.

I pulled away. "What's your favourite colour?"

"Silver, like my favourite lady, of course," he replied.

I froze, and whatever was impersonating my boyfriend sneered.

We appeared in Alaska, rendering me powerless.

Worse, what strength I had seemed to be leaving me.

"Now," The impersonator hissed. "Let's have some fun while we wait for the master."

I may have been losing strength, but I was still the goddess of the hunt. Millennia of hunting had made me incredibly strong, even without my powers.

Unsheathing the knife in my boot, I made quick work of my captor.

"Shame," I heard from behind. "I rather liked that servant."

Orion.

I quickly threw the knife, impaling his thigh.

"I see," he grunted. "Your attitude toward me has not changed."

The man snapped his fingers, closing the wound. "I will still have my way with you, princess."

I paled slightly, aware that he could easily overpower me within a few days of my strength being drained.

Whatever was draining me increased its power hundredfold, and Orion chuckled. "Ah, yes. I should be powerful enough to take over Olympus soon."

I fell to my knees, lacking the strength to stand.

The hunter smirked, stepping forward as he began to unbuckle his pants. "Well, if you insist on going that fast..."

"No," I said firmly.

"No?" Orion asked, picking me up by the throat. "You do not wish to please your new master?"

"You...can't," I gasped as he squeezed.

"And why not? I clearly have the advantage. I could do whatever I wanted to you right now," The immortal sneered.

"I'm...pregnant," I choked.

"Well," Orion cleared his throat, setting me down. "That changes things. I'll raise the child with you and take over Olympus after making a few more with you."

I was repulsed by the thought, and he could clearly see that.

"How long have you been with child?" He asked.

I coughed. "Five weeks. A little before my hunt began. Percy is the father."

Orion changed to look like Percy. "Does this make you feel better?"

"No," I responded venomously. "Where is he?"

He shrugged. "Doesn't matter. He'll never find you."

I stepped back as the man advanced. "What do you want?"

Orion backed me into a corner. "I think you know. Don't worry. I'll wait until you have birthed the child to have my way with you." I was taken to a bedroom and chained to the bed. "I hope you understand what

happens if you misbehave."

He left, and shortly after some of his servants arrived.

The man began to undress. "Master will be rather upset if he finds out about this, so you'd better not say anything," The servant threatened.

I kicked and thrashed as best I could, keeping him away.

Percy quickly sent the servant's head rolling and started working at my chains.

Or at least he looked like Percy.

"How long have I been pregnant?" I asked.

"Five weeks," Orion replied, still in Percy's form.

I sighed.

Orion took me to another room, likely his, and continued acting as though he was Percy.

"Babe, I don't know how, but we're stuck here. I just wanna tell you that I think you're gorgeous and I'm in love with you, and I know that's a big step, but it's true. I have to work with them, and then maybe they'll let us out," Orion tried to explain as Percy, failing miserably.

I escaped to the bathroom, and with my hands-free, I took my phone from the back pocket of my hunting pants. Men were so stupid sometimes.

I texted Percy, and within minutes there was yelling from outside.

My lover found me sitting in the bathtub, curtain drawn as I waited.

I smiled. "How long have I been pregnant?"

"We haven't had sex yet," Percy replied. "You can't be pregnant."

I stood up and followed him up to the roof, explaining what had occurred.

"You're limping," Percy pointed out.

Without being allowed to complain, my boyfriend picked me off the ground and carried me to Blackjack.

I mounted the Pegasus, leaning back against my lover as we kicked off.

As we crossed the border into Canada, Percy kissed the back of my ear. "Feeling a little better?"

I nodded, closing my eyes.

Percy PoV

Artemis drifted off, and I flashed us back to the palace. "Moon," I whispered. "We're home."

She yawned and made her way to the shower while I changed the sheets.

Don't get me wrong. I loved her, but she doesn't need to see how much I've been missing her.

After about a half-hour, Artemis came out in a bra and panties.

I kissed her cheek and quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower and make a soundproof water lining around it.

Sometimes having a sexy girlfriend was difficult.

"Percy," she called. "Save some of that for me."

When I was clean, I stepped out and dried off.

After clothing myself, I stepped out to find Artemis playing with a rather familiar and almost empty bottle of lotion. "Miss me?"

I felt myself blush.
