A/N So Im starting writing on my tablet now and it sucks. I will, while im not at home, make shorter chapters but try to update atleast every few days. Btw, the one guy who sent me something he wants in this story, worry not. I dont want to spoil you but i have something planned, though it may take some time to actually happen. Otherwise, send me suggestions.

Hunters Camp; Percy

Well, I guess, how bad could some immortal teenage girls be, right? Wrong.

Theyre horrible. It probably wouldve been worse if it hadnt been me though. Though you may think, beeing the person bringing the 2 thousand year old Lieutenant back to life will get you some respect or atleast they treat you like youre human. They dont. Atleast they didnt kill me, or worse. That doesnt mean I did like the encounter at all.

Zoe and I were walking together in silence. The situation was kind of tense, which made sense, relating to our topic back at the creek. But I seriously cant talk to somebody, and especially not her, about that. She wont understand it at all and will simply start punching me again. No one would unterstand at all.

As we were reaching the outskirts of the hunters Camp I snapped back into reality. I have to be really, really careful now. Quickly scanning the area I saw that there were no hunters nearby. Yeah right, Artemis said they were eating dinner…

Following Zoe to the dining area, which was actually a tent with an open front, I saw the hunters or rather, the hunters were seeing Zoe and me. I received a not so heartly welcome. No suprise though, rather I received glares and snorts. Charming.

Zoe instantly was tackled by a few huntresses, I guess those who knew her before. Thalia instead ran straight into my open arms, which earned me a few more glares. But I gotta be honest, I dont care what they think. I missed Thalia, I havent seen her for nearly a year. She is, after all, one of my dearest cousins, alongside with Nico.

„Hey Pinecone Face, you know, no one will believe you are a huntress of Artemis if you pounce at a guy coming into your Camp" I said, while Thalia shot me a glare. Earlier it maybe wouldve scared me, but I know her and that shes faking it.

„Oh, I just thought that Perseus Jackson is no simple guy, but if you think he is just a mere male, you must be right" Now it was my time for a glare, though I couldnt hold it long enough to hide my smirk.

Artemis coughed discretely, trying to regain attention and maybe, just maybe get her Lieutenant from hugging a boy.

„So as you all know, this guy over there is Perseus Jackson. I view him as a friend and hes done more for Olympus and the world than anyone ever before. The two wars were hard for him, so I expect you girls to not make his life even harder." Artemis said, now that she got the hunters attention back.

Most of the glares on me remained, but some softened and some huntresses even smiled at me. I smiled back with my lop side grin, which made Artemis cough again.

Afterwards I got to know the hunters. They were 12 including Zoe and Thalia. They lost many sisters during the last war, 20 only because of Orion.

Dinner was kind of chilled, I even managed to talk to the hunters without getting my dick cut off, which is like more most males can say about their encounter with them. Yeah Im special after all.

I even joked a bit with Thalia and Zoe, though Zoe seemed to have her gaze fixed on me, but without looking in my eyes. Weird.

Thalia though was super excited that I will stay for a few weeks and was talking about how only Nico was missing to bring the trio back together. I miss the old days. Hunting simple monsters, do some quests for some Gods, meeting the cousins, Grover and Annabeth. Annabeth. I miss her. Why did it need to be her. Ok, I dont want anyone to die at all, but its still unfair. After all we have done.

I cant believe that the Fates werent able to bring Annabeth back but Zoe. Why? Not that Im not happy that Zoe is back, but why her and why not her? Ugh I guess Im sounding egoistic again. But I want to be egoistic when it comes to Annabeth. I want her back, alive and live my life with her. Thats what we deserve after these wars. Not death and grieve.

Well, if my life havent been unfair until now, it would be now for sure. And now that the Fates explained what their actual Job was, there isnt even someone I can blame for all that crap. Great.

Weird enough, Zoe seemed to recognize my mood and soothingly laid her hand on my forearm and smiled at me. I smiled back, which made her blush and Thalia, well Thalia…

She spit out her food, eyes bulging and started to cough violently. I started clapping her on her back, while Zoe quickly took her hand away from me, still blushing.

Artemis, sitting close to her Lieutenant, quickly came over, taking care for Thalia. After she stopped coughing, Artemis was obviously curious what happened.

„Oh you know, Percy just remembered me, that when he brought the golden fleece to camp, he found Grover wearing a wedding dress, on the way to be a Cyclops bride."

Wow thanks Thalia. Didnt expect you to save my manhood that creatively. That was, of course, no lie, but how she thought of that so fast is impressive.

Artemis smiled a bit, thinking of a man in the role of a woman. Wow I really hope I never anger her seriously (hell yeah he will). Other than that situation dinner went well.

Afterwards there was a bonfire which I eventually was even invited to by the hunters, but I declined gratefully. I have had a long day, meeting my mother and this stuff, so I asked Zoe to bring me to my tent. Im still not comfortable with the hunters so close.

While we were walking we were talking about nonsense, some adventures of us.

When we were there I was going to say goodbye to her, when she suddenly hugged me. I was shocked and blushed a bit, but hugged her back.

„What was that for?" I said, still not sure if that just happened.

„I know you are not fine, and because you are my friend, I am there for you if you need to talk. Please think about it, good night" and with that Zoe left me, standing in my tent entrance, not really able to form a thought.

Line Break

Zoe

While beeing on the way to my tent, I was thinking about how to help Percy to get better.

Stupid Percy. Acting all good, but he wont simply talk to me. I have to think of something. Something special after all, maybe something that helps him with Annabeth. But what can I do? We dont even know each other pretty well. I have no Idea what he likes to do in his freetime.

Maybe I can ask Thalia or this weird, Hades boy. Nico? I think it was Nico. Maybe one of them knows how to help Percy.

Oh Percy, why does it always needs to be you?

3rd

While Zoe were walking to her tent, there was a certain daughter of Zeus, wating for her to, uhm, well lets say talk about ones titans daughter behavior around a well know Demi God.

Thalia stood at the entrance of Zoes tent, arms crossed and a frown on her face. Zoes behavior confused her, she of course knew, that Zoe is Percys friend, but its kinda different. It seemed like Zoe liked comforting Percy. And the contact was unnecessary. Why would the man hating Huntress touch a boy, nonetheless, voluntarily.

Well, Thalia had some ideas why a woman would like to touch Percy, but not one of Artemis huntresses.

And further, he just lost Annabeth, he wouldnt want stuff like this. Thalia was pretty sure that, if Percy would be looking for some, lets say fun, Aphrodite would gratefully comply.

While Thalia were still thinking about how much of a slut Aphrodite actually is, Zoe arrived at her tent, confused why Thalia were standing there, staring into the nothingness.

With a cough she tried to make Thalia recognize her. Thalia snapped out of her thoughts, looked confused at Zoe for a moment and then remembered where she were and what she wanted to do.

"Ah, hi Zoe"

"Hey Thalia, is there a particular reason youre waiting at my tent?" Zoe said with scepsis in her voice.

"Well Zoe, ive recognized some... actions at dinner. So for example you, beeing eager to comfort Percy. Is there something you would like to eleborate?" Thalia said, cocking one eye brow.

"What? What are you talking about? I just comforted him, because he is my friend and he has done a lot for me. Anyway, I have something to talk about aswell. I was going to look for you tomorrow, but since youre here we can deal with it know aswell." Zoe said, maybe a little bit too eager to change the topic.

Thalia noticed it, but wasnt too sure if she saw it right.

"Uhm okay, sure, go on."

„So, we both know Percy is still pretty sad and totally not fine how he pretends to be."

"Uhm yeah. I guess"

"I need to do something to get him out of his depression. But I cant really think of something." Zoe said now.

"I also wanted to ask this Nico guy, maybe he can help. You 2 know Percy the best and you maybe can think of something that helps him to get some of his usualy mirth back."

Thalia was a bit shocked at Zoes explanation. Sure she and Percy were friends, but she really seemed to care. Maybe she saw it right that Zoe wanted to change the topic.

"I honestly dont know, I mean it was Annabeth, Zoe. She was the love of his life. Im not sure if he will ever be fine again." Thalia said now, sadness evident in her voice.

"We should ask Nico, maybe he has an idea. If you dont mind, I would like to go to bed now." Zoe said with a sigh and went past Thalia.

But she wouldnt sleep yet. When Thalia spoke about Annabeth, an idea began to form in her head, but she wasnt sure yet, how to fulfill it.
