okay! hello y'all, evandar here! houston we have a problem. so, my sister needed the laptop! writing on my phone sucks but you guys seem to really like the story so i'm gonna soldier on! chapters might be shorter and for that, i am incredibly sorry ): just stick with me, readers. without further ado, the fifth chapter!
Eren was absolutely shitting herself. She was staring, eyes blown wide open and mouth catching flies. Lady Artemis? Lord Apollo? Grandpa? She was rapidly glancing between the occupants of the table to her right.
What in the Hell was going on?
"What do you mean, Lord Apollo? Why would Lord Zeus be punishing you? What have you guys done?" Annabeth questioned curiously.
Annabeth was always like that, noted Eren. She was always shoving her nose where- wait. Lord Zeus? Her head was throbbing and she reached her hand up to it and rubbed. What was going on, who were these people and why was Annabeth treating them like they were going to smite her down?
"We helped out in the Giant War, we weren't supposed too. One angry King of the Gods later and quite literally running into Percy here, we're now mortal! To be honest, I don't mind it. I like mortals but Artemis? My dear little sis? I think she's going to block a fuse if another man looks at her" Apollo was beaming and Eren swore her skin was turning red. Was she getting a sunburn in a building?
Artemis was quick to punch Apollo's dick but nothing could have prepared Eren for what she said next.
"Apollo! I helped Mom give birth to you, you old sot!"
Immediately upon hearing that Eren started choking on her sprite. (Why is it spicy, McDonald's?) She pounded on her chest as she heard a distinct, 'Styx!' that sounded vaguely like Percy.
She was proven right when mentioned man started to beat her back. No, literally, he was hitting her back so hard you would figure she was baby Estelle.
Coughing harder was her only response. She was torn between hardcore shock and amusement. She really wanted to laugh because seriously, who says old sot anymore? But she also was figuring she was losing her mind or these people were really, really devoted cosplayers.
"Well she know's our secret so now we have to gut her."
That did not help her now calming lungs. Eren turned and gapped at Artemis. "Excuse me, Ma'am, but I like living. Please don't."
Artemis just eyed her with a cold gaze. Artemis was really not enjoying any of this. From Athena's spawn and now a clear sighted mortal all she wanted to do was return to her dorm.
She glared hard at the hand on Eren's back. It wasn't the girls fault, of course, but the goddess was possessive. Now don't get her wrong, Artemis despises men. There was no romantic interest behind the simple thought of, "mine."
It was simply Artemis being the stubborn princess she is and claiming ownership over something. In simpler terms, She was her father, Percy was a tree nymph and Eren was Dionysus.
Percy, bless his heart, could practically feel Artemis's anger and was incredibly put off by it. What was he supposed to say or do? This was just plain awkward. Especially now that he knew Eren was clear sighted.
"Uh, Eren." He cleared his throat, "This is Annabeth, Jason. You know them already but the other two, as you know, are Artemis and Apollo. Remember that whole joke about them being like their namesakes? Well... They are their name sakes. Surprise!"
Listen, Percy did not expect Eren to pass out upon hearing that information but she did.
"Oh Styx!"
Annabeth was looking at me like I sprouted two more heads. (Where was Leo when you needed Hydra stumps burnt to crisps anyways?)
"Really, Seaweed Brain? You're just going to drop that bomb shell on that poor girl?"
Percy chose to ignore what she said and pick Eren up bridal style. He figured the best thing to do was get her back to his dorms so he could explain all of this mess.
It wasn't his fault the girl had eavesdropped on them. He wasn't necessarily trying to keep a look out for anyone watching them too closely. He just figured his friends stared because they were making sure that Artemis didn't abused him.
Being a demigod and having ADHD means you move fast. That was not the case for poor old Mark and Apollo. Apollo was about as graceful as an excited dog. Surprisingly, maybe not, Artemis was still incredibly graceful. It was knocked down just a pinch but it was still more then enough.
Laying the girl onto his couch after fighting students, walls, stairs and elevators he was now in his humble abode. It was almost comical how terrible all of this could be.
Of course Eren had to have noticed something was going on and eavesdropped on them. All though, for some reason, Percy was't determined that she posed a threat or anything else. There wasn't a mean bone in her body. She was the nicest girl you'd have meet but you'd never even know it.
Hearing a groan come from his couch just in time he walked over to the groaning woman.
"Here. It'll help you." He handed her some aspirin and tea hoping to help do away with her pain even if he did why would she reveal if?
"Eren, The Greek God's are real."
And of course, she fainted again.
ah such a short chapter, it hurts my heart. i hope you all enjoyed it, even if it's short. i'll come up with another soon to balance it out. evandar out. much love and take care of yourselves.
