ARTEMIS POV
It had been three days since I came back to my cabin to find Percy Unconscious. His wound was almost healed. I spent almost every hour of the day with him. This confused the hunters immensely. Well all except Thalia.
I was sitting beside Percy's bed with me head on his legs when I heard Thalia walk in. "My Lady you really should get outside. Stay away from Percy for a bit, The hunters, are not only worried but suspicious."
Why would they be suspicious?" I asked curious about there reasons.
"Well for starters, you are the maiden goddess, and have been extremely worried over a boy, and It confuses them because any other boy you would leave alone. They are getting the feeling that perhaps you like Percy."
I knew that Thalia knew that I did indeed like Percy, but I can't have any of the other hunters find out. I nod and tell Thalia "alright I'll be out in 10 minuets." She looks at me then nods in agreement, and leaves to tell the hunters. I look down at Percy knowing that he might not wake up for a while I make sure no one is near or in the cabin. The I lean down and Kiss Percy on the check.
Yes I know what you're saying. Why kiss him on the check, he's unconscious he probably won't even remember, but I was still the Maiden Goddess and wasn't completely ready to kiss him on the lips. I was at the door ready to head to the hunters when I heard a groan behind me. I looked to see Percy. Eyes open, leaning on an elbow.
I almost jumped at him in joy but I new I couldn't I might hurt him, or I might expose my feelings for him. Either way I could not jump on or at him. He looked at me then touched his check, looked at me and started blushing madly. I realized he must have woken up because of the kiss I gave him. OH no he knows I like him doesn't he. I started blushing because of this. Before he could say anything I walked out of the room as fast as I could and ran, not to where my hunters were if that happened, I had to get my blush under control.
It had taken several minutes, because every time I thought I had it under control I would think about our kiss and the blush would come creeping back. Anyway, I decided to visit Percy one last time before I met with the hunters, so I went to my cabin. When I arrived I was met by my hunters who were looking confused, so I decided to ask Thalia to get answers. "Thalia what has happened why are you all gathered in here?"
"Lady Artemis there you are. Sorry we are not training but after you did not come back to join us we got worried and came here to find a Sea Green envelope with your name and the hunters on it."
I picked up the letter and it smelled like the sea, it smelt like Percy. I read the letter and was devastated then when my hunters looked at me curiously I decided to tell them."Alright it says, Dear Artemis and the hunters, I have somehow influenced or deceived Artemis in a very bad way and it is obvious that I cannot stay with the hunt. I know that you guys were not too pleased with me coming here anyway, so I see this as a bonus for you. Percy Jackson Tidal Lord."
I looked at the Hunters and they looked back at me wondering what I could have done, but I OBVIOUSLY was not going to tell them. Then to my utter horror Thalia stepped up and said "Lady Artemis is in love with none other then Percy Jackson." I stared at her how could she do this to me?
I was still in shock several minutes later after the hunters left my cabin to go train. Though this was not just about what Thalia said.
FLASHBACK
"Well it's about time." One hunter stated, soon they were all agreeing with her.
I managed to stutter out "But we are eternal maidens we, especially me, cannot love. We cannot fall in love."
A few looked at me sympathetically and said "Artemis we are all swayed at one points or another and besides, we thought about what you said and Percy really is a good guy. You should go find him and tell him to come back we won't mind, you know I know for sure at least some of us will help you out."
END FLASHBACK
So here we are know. My hunters are supporting me, Percy left to who knows were and I am here with my mouth gaping open. Percy would have loved to see me looking like that, and so with that in my mind I flashed to Olympus to find Percy.
When I reached there I went straight to Percy's palace which I slightly despised because That Annie girl built it. No offense to my sister though, I loved her like well... like a sister but that Annie girl still likes my Percy, wait I'm not sure he still likes me, or even wants to be part of the hunters again but what can you do right.
I softly knocked on the door and waited praying that Percy would answer. But when the door opened I got the surprise of my life. There standing in front of me was not Percy Jackson, but my dear sister Athena. "Oh Athena, I was expecting Percy to open the door. What are you doing here?"
"Well when Percy Flashed back and told Zeus that he left the hunt Zeus was pretty mad but left it be. Percy then came to in hope for advice." Athena stated, but she saw the look on my face "Girl advice."
"What he could have come to me I mean I'm a girl and all I would've helped him."
I all but whispered to Athena. I mean come on he did love me right? Right? I looked at Athena almost pleading but she held up her hand and said.
"Seriously Artemis, he said you knew, he said he told you. Unless he was lying to me?"
It all of a sudden made sense, on why Percy didn't come to me or the hunters for help. He told me he loved me so he thinks that me kissing him was his fault. I had to tell him the truth. So I barged in to the house and set out to find Percy.
