A/N: Hey All! Thanks for all the reviews and follows! You guys make my day! I wanted to let you guys know that we will have other POV for this story, especially Artemis's and Orion's. I just thought it would be easier to set everything up from Apollo's perspective. Hope ya'll enjoy and please tell me what you think!

-Apollo-

"What do you mean he's been re-birthing!?" Apollo snapped at Athena. He couldn't remember ever being this mad at one of his siblings. Athena had crossed the line this time. Artemis may be a little brat, but he knew why she had sworn to become a maiden. It wasn't because she found men revolting. It was because they weren't Orion. Apollo had felt so helpless when he had died. He had tried everything to cheer up his sister. They went on more hunts that he could count and pranked every god and goddess that annoyed them, especially Hera. He had even taken the blame for her so she wouldn't get in trouble, and still his sister barely talked and her stare was glassy. It was like a part of Artemis had died. Everything she did for years after that was mechanical. Zeus would send her after a monster, she would do it. There was no pleasure in the hunt anymore, because it just reminded her of him. That is why the Hunters were created, so she wouldn't have to hunt alone. The legends left out how attached she was to him, and Apollo could still see the way she would stare up at the stars sometimes, looking at the constellation. She would bite her bottom lip, and tears would pool in her eyes, making them look watery. Over time, it got better, but it still bothered Apollo to see Artemis that way. He promised he would never see her look like that again.

"He's been dying shortly after his seventeenth birthday for the past three thousand years. Before you ask, I have no idea how it happened. But we had to keep it from her, Apollo, you know how she would have acted if she had found out. She would have become obsessed with saving him," she scoffed at him.

"You could have told me!"

"You couldn't keep a secret from your sister even if you tried."

He had to admit that she was right. Artemis always seemed to know what he hid from her, and if she didn't, she knew how to find out. Apollo had this ticklish spot right under his left arm…

"What are you planning to do?" Apollo asked her.

"We are going to make sure they don't run into each other! He's sixteen now; he'll die soon anyways. Of course the Fates would have it that the high school you two go to would be the same one he is in! I don't have time for this-"

"You could just leave it to the Fates and hope for the best," Apollo suggested sweetly. Athena scowled at him, narrowing her eyes. She had that glare that would turn any mortal to a shivering ball of nerves, but it didn't scare him. He could be just as intimidating as she was. Athena was extremely bossy, and she would throw quite the temper tantrum if she didn't get her way.

"So you want your sister to have a meltdown?" she jeered.

"No," he admitted grudgingly. "I don't."

"Good, because I have a plan."

Apollo rolled his eyes. Athena always had a plan.

"I already checked her schedule, and they don't have any classes together. So you, Hermes, Hestia, and I will just make sure she doesn't accidently run into him. Once he dies, we can leave the two of you to finish your punishment with the mortals."

"Five gods at high school, what could go wrong?" he mused. It was too simple of a plan. They couldn't follow Artemis around all the time, and if they did, she would figure out that they were hiding something from her. It sounded like it was going to turn into one huge mess, just like the Trojan War. Gods forbid if any more of his family showed up. Apollo shook thinking about his father in a teenage form. He would most likely make himself Captain of the football team and start ordering everyone around down here. "Please tell me that Dad doesn't know anything about this."

"Of course not! He'd probably send us all to work for Hades for a hundred years if he knew about it. Which is an even more important reason to keep this under wraps," she admonished him.

They sat in silence for just a moment, which gave Apollo time to think. Athena always treated them like her annoying younger siblings. Even Hermes got aggravated over it. Apollo hated hiding anything from his sister. Sure, they fought all the time, but that's what siblings do! He loved his sister fiercely, and he couldn't stand to see her in pain. She had been exceptionally good at hiding her emotions for three thousand years, pushing away anything that reminded her of him. If she found out he had been living and dying this whole time…. Well, he wouldn't want to be in the vicinity when she did.

She might seem sophisticated to her hunters and to mortals, but his sister had a nasty temper. He knew how creative she could get when it came to getting her way, which she always seemed to get. Even with this punishment, thanks to Artemis pulling her "daddy" routine, they had gotten off relatively easy. Hera would have had them both stripped of their immortal gifts and made to start from kindergarten if she had her way.

He had a decision to make. Was he going to hide it from her, or should he tell her?

The passenger door opened up, and Artemis stood looking at the pair of them, disbelief on her face.

"Athena? You look….young," she finally decided. Athena gave her a deadpanned look, sliding into the backseat. Artemis sat down in the passenger side, tossing the one notebook she had brought with her into the floorboard. Apollo and his sister looked similar, but there were plenty of differences. Artemis had long auburn colored hair, and her eyes were so light of a blue they were almost silver. Apollo's hair was blond, but his eyes were a darker blue, like the sky when the sun was at its brightest. They both had a lean, muscular build, perfect for hunting and archery. His sister looked agitated. Her fingers were thrumming mindlessly on the dash, and Apollo knew she was itching to get her hands on her bow.

"How was school?" Athena said in a sing-song voice. Artemis rolled her eyes, shooting a glare at her brother.

"Boring. I already know everything, so there's no point in sitting in class and listening. Can you believe I got in trouble for skipping? The nerve of some of these mortals!"

"Well, I have some good news," Athena piped from the back. Apollo pulled out of the spot, heading back towards Olympus. All it took was a little manipulation from the mist, and they were gliding through the air heading to their home.

"What?" Artemis grumbled.

"We are coming to keep you company! We can all go to high school!" Athena boomed.

"Fan-freaking-tasic," she muttered.

"Picked up some local slang, sister?" Apollo asked her, a small smile playing on his lips.

Artemis responded by giving a very rude gesture to her brother.

The next morning, Apollo and Artemis rode together to school. He though that it was best because he could tell how upset his sister was at the developing events. She had been very vocal all morning, which he thought was strange. His sister was more of the scary, silent type.

"This just makes it worse, having them here! Athena is just trying to be nosy and bossy. Next thing you know, freaking Hera's going to start car pooling us to school!"

"You seem a little worked up," he noted. He had to play it cool. If Artemis even suspected he was hiding something from her, she would not let it go until she figured it out. He wanted to do some of his own investigating as well, before he decided what to do. Maybe Athena was just being paranoid. It wouldn't be the first time a god had freaked out about something.

"I just feel on edge, that's all," she huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest. They got out of the car and walked up towards the school. He knew his sister well enough to know that he could not pester her further. If she wanted to tell him what was going on with her, she would.

They were all standing at the entrance, waiting for them before going into the school. Hermes was off to the side, arguing heatedly with someone on his cell phone. Hestia looked like she was enjoying being around everyone, a small smile on her face. Apollo was actually glad Hestia was here. If Athena was their bossy older sister, Hestia was the comforting one you went to for advice. He knew Artemis liked her, so maybe that would help her deal with all of this. Athena was scowling in their direction, but it quickly turned to a smile once she saw Artemis's face.

"I've got to go talk to one of my teachers," Apollo stated as he dropped his sister off. "See you guys at lunch?" The others nodded, but Athena narrowed her eyes at him as he walked away. Well, she could get glad in the same teenage body she got mad in.

Apollo roamed the halls, looking for the mysterious Orion. He finally found him, and what he saw surprised him. He was talking to the mortal girl from his class, Cas. They seemed to be in a heated argument. Her cheeks were flushed with anger, and Orion was leaning in her face.

"You need to be careful, Orion," she said worriedly. Apollo tried to get a read on her mind, but he couldn't. All he got from her was static, like she was blocking him out. Now, that was extremely interesting.

"Why?"

"I just….I get a bad feeling around her, I can't really explain it," she finished sheepishly.

"Well, when you have something concrete, then you can tell me who I am allowed and not allowed to talk to," he retorted angrily. He slammed the locker in her face. She looked a little hurt, but it was quickly replaced with a blank face. She turned down the hall, to walk to her own he assumed. Apollo decided to follow. He was good at charming girls, and this one should be no different from the rest of them. Maybe he could get some information from her.

She was at her locker, pulling random books out of it. Her face was hidden by the door, and Apollo leaned against the locker on the other side of it.

"Hi," he smirked as she closed the locker door.

"Holy Her-hell!" she shrieked. She had dropped all her books, and Apollo bent down to pick them up. Her face was carefully blank as she took the books from him. "Can I help you?"

"Your name is Cas right?" he asked her. He was pouring every ounce of charm he had on this girl. He needed information, and he was sure that she had it.

"Actually, it's Cassia," she said with narrowed eyes. He flashed a blinding smile at her, but she seemed unfazed by it. This one was going to be a challenge. He liked challenges.

"Beautiful name, Greek I believe? My name is-"

"I already know your name," she dismissed him.

"You do?"

"I don't know if you've noticed, but you've already got a little fan club going, so if you will excuse me, I have to get to class," she huffed as she walked past him. Gods, she was very proud, wasn't she? He had barely talked to her, but she was the most infuriating female he had ever met in his entire existence. He had never met someone who hadn't been mesmerized by him. For some reason, he was strangely drawn to her.

"I just have one question," he confessed as he jumped in her path. She stopped and rolled her eyes at him. This mortal was getting more and more interesting by the minute.

"Will it get you to leave me alone?"

"What, my stunning good looks and charm aren't affecting you? Most girls would love to get the chance to talk to me."

"Well, as most girls are thoughtless airheads, I'll take that as a compliment," she quipped.

"Who was the guy you were talking to earlier? His name is Orion right?" he asked her determinedly. If he could find out things about him, it would make his decision a lot easier. Apollo watched as Cassia's face paled even more, the flush on her cheeks standing out. Her eyes sparkled with just a touch of anger and fear, and her body tensed. It made Apollo uncomfortable for a moment. What did she know that she was so determined to hide?

"Leave him alone. He doesn't need to get mixed up with you," she spat.

"What's that suppose to mean?" he asked her warily.

"You know exactly what it means."

With that, she turned and walked off, leaving Apollo slightly confused and impressed.
