Artemis PoV

"Get away from me, Orion!"

He licked his lips, "Oh, but Artemis, it'll be really easy. See, you're the prey in my hunt." With that, my vision faded to black.

I woke up in a cold, dark cell. I was chained to a wall. The vile pig walked in. "What do you want, Orion?" l spat.

He traced his finger along my jaw. "Oh, it's quite simple, Artemis. See, you're really hot. You're also a virgin. I wanna fuck you. I wanna make you scream my name so loud you'll not be able to speak for days. I wanna break that maiden vow that you've held for millennia."

I struggled, trying to get away from him. I felt his hand go under my shirt as he held me against the wall. I had to stall him. "Wait!"

"What? Do you have any special requests for your first time?"

"Yes. I-I want it to be on a bed, and-and..." l trailed off.

"I can do that." He bound my limbs to one another and slung me over his shoulder like a meat sack. He spanked me, and I growled. He carried me to a room with a large bed, throwing me on it. He pounced on me, cuffing my limbs to the bedpost. He kissed my neck, his hands roaming my body as I squirmed, trying to move away from him. He tore my shirt off, and I managed to knee him in the balls. When he recovered, he snarled, "Bad bitch, I'm gonna make this as against your morals as possible, you little slut!"

He shoved a gag in my mouth to muffle my protests. He unbuttoned my jeans, sliding them down as I struggled. "Damn, girl, I expected you to have bigger boobs, or at least a good ass to bang. A disappointment, really. But, you're still a millennia-old virgin, so you'll be tight as fuck." He took off his shirt, revealing what seemed like the beginnings of a potbelly. I laughed mentally. That ended when he started groping me after he tore off my remaining clothing. I screamed into the gag, tears starting to well up in my eyes as the realization that I would lose my virginity to a rapist, and to Orion at that.

Suddenly, there was a loud boom, and debris rained down on the bastard. Percy was glaring murderously at Orion. Never had I been so happy to see a man. I knew this because my memories were slowly but surely starting to trickle back. Percy was thrown into a wall, and I cried out. I winced, and tears started leaking out of my eyes as Percy didn't get up. But then he did. Percy jumped up as Orion went to make sure he was dead. Slamming a dagger into the Giant's head, he did a backflip, landing on the immortal's head. He spun around, stabbing, slashing, and just harming Orion in general until he started flickering. "NO! NO! HOW DARE YOU FADE ME, YOU-" He faded before he could finish.

Percy grabbed a blanket from his bag as he ran over, covering me with it. He used a celestial bronze dagger to cut the cuffs, securing the blanket around me as he picked me up. Percy ran for a solid fifteen minutes before coming to a stop. He laid me down in the tent, pulling out a set of clothes for me, and setting a wash bucket in the corner before kissing me on the forehead. "Come out when you're ready." I washed myself, brushing the wet cloth against my skin. After drying myself, I clothed, made myself presentable, and poked my head out of the tent flap toes what Percy was doing.

Percy was watching a rabbit roast on a spit. He pulled it off, splitting the meat evenly into two plates. He put out the fire and brought the plates in, kissing me on the forehead as he stepped in. Handing me the plate, he asked, "Artemis, how are you?"

"Okay, I guess."

"Alright, just, if you need anything tell me." He sat down next to me and we started eating the rabbit. It was a rather spacious tent, more like a cabin, now that I took a look. There was a bedroom with a king-sized bed, a bathroom, a wardrobe,

a kitchen, and living space. Percy cleared the dishes and set them near the sink.

I looked at the ceiling, trying not to think about anything before Percy wrapped me in a hug. He carried me to the bedroom, laying me down before kissing me on the forehead. As he went to leave, I caught his wrist. "Percy, stay." I croaked out. He turned, clambering into the space next to me, and resting his arm on my stomach as I used his chest as a pillow. Neither of us fell asleep.

I shifted. "Percy, thanks for earlier."

"Nobody touches my girl. Or any girl, without their permission." I burrowed into Percy, who held me tighter. He kissed me on the forehead before we drifted into the realm of Hypnos.

I was awoken from a nightmare by Percy placing his lips on my own. My eyes fluttered open and Percy moved his lips from my lips to my forehead. "Did you have a good nap, Arty?"

I yawned and nodded, enjoying the combined warmth of Percy and the bed. "Warm," I mumbled into his chest.

"I know, Arty, but we've gotta get moving. Come on." I got up and stretched, Percy changing in the bedroom while I used the bathroom to change.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw bruises on my face and neck starting to form. I changed and walked outside. "Morning, Percy. What's for breakfast?"

Percy turned and set two plates of squirrel meat on the counter. He stepped closer, taking my hands in his as he cupped my chin, brushing his thumb gently across my cheek. "Artemis, what happened? Are you alright? Here, drink this." He handed me a flask of nectar. "Orion happened, Percy."

"I'm sorry I wasn't there faster."

"You tried your best. That's what's important. I don't wanna talk about that anymore, so let's eat." He handed me a plate of meat and lead me to the living space. We ate in silence.
