A/N-Hey guys!
If you don't know-I'm going to give a little format of every one of my chappies from now on.
Let's see...A bit of Artemis and her view on Percy, The emergency council, Athena's messed up brain, my terrible sarcasm and jokes, the beginning of the first quest which will take at least, two or three chappies. You guys have been doing bomb with the reviews btw, keep it up!
Artemis POV-
Keep your eyes averted.
Don't look, smile, or even speak.
"As you all know," Father began. "This is an emergency meeting."
"Zeus, must we have this meeting?" Hades asked. "And why is it so important?"
"That is where I come in..." Athena had a huge smile on her face as she went to the center of our thrones.
She started putting up graphs and charts on a stand. Next to stand, stood a podium where she began her speech,
"Gods, Demigods." Athena started, pointing to the demigods.
Don't stare.
As if it was a burning instinct, I lifted my head up and saw a flash of those sea green eyes.
I forcefully held down the blush that threatened to show on my face.
I was good at that. After all, I had years to get used to it.
"As you aware of, Percy is...developing. Just to show how dangerous it is, I made a few charts."
Athena lifted her first chart, "Over time, we Greeks, have had many heroes. Heracles, who was known for his strength, Odysseus, who was known for his music, and many more. But strangely, Percy has acquired most of their powers."
At this point, my father leaned in. He was intrigued, almost as if he heard something like this before.
"This is either a bad thing or a good thing. But according to history, when a hero had something no one else had they tend to get...well, killed."
Athena started put away her things, ending with a final resolution. Percy looked up at the last word and I-unfortunately-met his gaze.
His eyes smiled at me as the corner of his mouth pulled up. I blushed and looked away, feeling Apollo's beady eyes on me.
"What to do...what to do?" Father muttered under his breath.
"How about you let this blow over because I'm favorite nephew and family is more important than world dominance?" Percy said it like a question.
"What?" Father asked.
"What." Percy repeated.
"What?" Father echoed.
"What?" Percy imitated.
"Enough!" Ares rolled his eyes. "All in favor of killing Percy, raise your hands."
"No!" Someone wailed. For some odd reason, everyone's heads turned towards me.
"Artemis?" Apollo asked, shocked.
I clamped my mouth shut, once I realized I had said that.
"Yeah?"
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Don't kill Percy?" I asked/pleaded.
"No offense, but why would you care..." Annabeth questioned.
Now everyone's eyes were on me. Percy was looking at me, his eyes shining with gratitude.
My cheeks flushed. "B-because Percy saved Olympus and me and stuff."
"And!" Percy piped up. "And if you kill me-you'll lose a member of the prophecy. That's no bueno."
I swear, my jaw dropped to ground.
"You actually said something smart this time." Annabeth was awed.
"I know, right! Sometimes I surprise myself."
"Could you guys leave for a second?" Apollo asked, his eyes trained on me. "I need to speak to Artemis...and Percy."
My eyes widened as everyone started to leave.
"No," I said. "Percy, you need to leave, too."
Percy started to leave, too.
"No, stay." Apollo commanded.
"Go." I repeated.
Percy looked between the both us then walked away.
"What was that!" Apollo yelled at me.
"What was what?"
"The constant blushing, staring at Percy."
"I don't know what you're talking about." I denied.
"Yes, you do. Don't lie to me, Artemis." Apollo paused. "You know, if I didn't know any better...I-I'd think you're falling for Percy Jackson."
Falling for Percy.
Falling...for Percy.
The blood in my face drained as grasped what Apollo said.
Apollo gasped, a look of pure betrayal on his face.
"You are!" He exclaimed. "Why? How long?"
"Apollo, you can't hurt him-I couldn't bear it. Please, brother-it's nothing, nothing at all."
"It's too late for that," Apollo snarled. "You're going to have watch suffer everyday-forever, in fact."
"No!" I implored. "There must be another a way..."
"Remember two millennials ago today, you promised that you spare the man I loved if he were able to find Persia." I smiled in relief. "He could find Persia or at least what happened to her."
Apollo deliberated for a moment before saying,
"Do you love Percy enough to give up everything?"
"Everything?" I echoed. "My hunt...my oath?"
"Everything that you dedicated to your entire immortal life to...gone because of a mortal who will eventually die?"
"The way you're saying it...makes it seem like I'm actually going to tell him."
"So you're going to sit there and watch him live his life with a girl who isn't you." Apollo presumed.
"If he's happy..."
"You know what Artemis? You deserve to be happy, too. I won't harm Percy until he finds Persia-and by the time he comes back, maybe you'll have your feelings sorted out by then."
"Sounds like a deal..." I stuck out my hand. "Big brother."
Apollo smiled and shook my hand. "Percy!"
Percy quietly came in, occasionally pushing his hair out of the way.
"We have a little...proposition for you." I said, smiling.
"Oh, yeah?" Percy grinned, listening.
I watched his face as Apollo told him everything. Percy didn't even flinch when Apollo told him I had killed Persia.
"So," He said once Apollo had finished. "You want me to find a girl-who is dead, by the way. You have no pictures or "
"Yep." Apollo popped the p.
Percy grinned.
"I'm in."
A/N-Sorry for any ooc-ness.
