Ok, sorry this took so long. I've been pretty distracted lately, but I hope this will be a good chapter for you guys. And by the way, To nynraghost: yeah, sorry about a few of those inconsistencies, like the one with Percy and the hunters. Let's just say he was testing them to see if they felt guilty at all about what happened or if they just thought of him as another male. And for the rest of your reveiw, don't like don't read that's all I've got to say. Anyway enjoy the chapter guys!

"Perseus... What- what are you doing here?" Apollo asked shocked

"How are you out of Tartarus!?"

"None of your business." I growled "As for your other question I am here to escort these demigods and nothing else."

Apollo stood there flabbergasted

"Just get on with it will you!?" I said loudly

"Uh, r-right!" He said with a start

He snapped his fingers and his sports car turned into a shuttle bus like the kind mortals used to get to college sports games.

"Hunters get in." Artemis said

The hunters piled into the shuttle bus.

After the hunters and Artemis got in the demigods the walked in, a little more hesitantly after seeing how much I disliked him, followed by Me. I walked straight to the back and sat in the corner. Apollo sat in the drivers seat and started up the bus. As Apollo guided us out into the sky I settled in and relaxed hoping for my first decent sleep in over two thousand years. I was just drifting of to sleep... When someone else sat down next to me. I slowly lifted one eye open and peeked at who it was. It was Artemis. Lovely. She looked at me as if waiting for me to say something. I didn't. I just closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep. She cleared her throat. I sighed

"What do you want Artemis?" I asked in an irritated tone

"Perseus, look I know you won't believe me but I had a reason to vote against you." She said

"And what reason might be worth more than sentencing your best friend to Tartarus?" I asked bored and annoyed

"I-I can't tell you." She said nervously

I stayed silent

"Perseus? Please, I would tell you if I could!"

"And why can't you?" I said with my eyes still closed

"Zeus made me swear on the Styx not to tell any one."

"Well then I hope whatever you got out of it was more important than betraying your best friend and sending him to hell for all eternity." I said bitterly

"I'm sorry Perseus." She said once more

When she saw I was done talking she got up and walked back to her hunters.

I mulled over what she had said, I mean I would not exactly put it past Zeus to do something like that to his own daughter, but still. She could tell me if she wanted to badly enough, I've met lady Styx, she is not that cruel. If the person who swore the oath wants to break it badly enough and if it is for a good reason, she usually lets them. I sighed and settled down into a more comfortable position and relaxed as began to sleep. And then someone sat down... Again.

"I will never get any sleep will I?"

I peeked my eyes open to see Thalia staring at me.

I sighed again and sat up.

"Yes, what is it Thalia?" I asked trying to be patient

"Well, I was wondering... What you had meant when you said you and the hunters go back?" She asked curiously

"After I had seen Zeus and talked with him and everything, I was pretty angry. So I did what I always did when I was angry, I started hunting. I had been hunting and killing monsters for several days when I finally cornered the last of the herd of hell hounds I had been hunting. I notched an arrow and prepared to fire. But before j could a several silver arrows came and pierced its head. I was furious until I saw who it was, the hunters of Artemis. They had been trying to annoy me by killing my prey because I was a man, they kept trying to provoke me into saying something that would give them the excuse they needed to try and kill me. But I refused and after a while they gave up and we had a few contests which I won. The only that could keep up with me was Artemis herself. We started hanging out more and hunting together pretty often. The hunters and I grew very close. They were like sisters to me, my best friends." I sighed "It's been a long time."

Thalia looked surprised but shook it off.

"Oh." Then she got a thoughtful look on her face "hey Perseus?"

"Yes?"

"Usually the gods and goddesses don't put much stock in their family trees because they don't have DNA and it's so confusing. They usually don't consider themselves related to us demigods, so... Why do you consider me to be your sister?" She asked confused

"The gods don't go by family trees because they can't be bothered to figure it all out and remember it. As for why they consider themselves not to be related to you all is because they like to feel all high and mighty and they can't do that if they have a bunch of weak little mortals calling them mommy and daddy and aunt and cousin and everything." I said bitterly "But I have spent enough time alone. I consider all of you to be my family. You are all my cousin and siblings. And I look after each and every one of you." I said softly

Thalia looked very shocked (no pun intended) she had never heard of any god that seemed to care for demigods so much. That actually consider all of them family. She seemed to break out of her trance and leapt at me and wrapped he arms around me in a hug. I was surprised but hugged her back before pulling back.

"Sorry." She said a little embarrassed "It's just that I've never really had anyone to look after me. Not even Zeus has done much, I've never even seen him."

She said looking down

"I wish I could say the same... But don't worry Thalia, you will always find help when you need it."

She looked confused but before she could respond the bus pulled to a stop.

"We have arrived at camp half blood!" Apollo called out

The other demigods stood up and made their way to the exit. Thalia got up rather hesitantly and walked towards the exit clearly thinking about what I had said.

After everyone else got out I headed towards slowly and tried to sneak out without drawing too much attention. Outside Thalia Annabeth and that Kyle kid were telling everyone about their quest, with Kyle playing his part up quite a bit. Apparently he defeated hundreds upon hundreds of monsters single handedly heroically defending the two demigods. What was even more pathetic than that was that the campers actually believed him... That is until Thalia shot him down saying that the only thing he did was soil his pants and some unknown God helped them and defeated practically the whole army. I frowned slightly as I saw how much that Annabeth liked Poseidon's kid, she had said nothing against his ridiculous little story and was now defending him from Thalia saying that he had bravely put himself in front of them and fought off a large number of monsters while I was busy talking to the manticore. The hunters meanwhile were trying very hard to keep the number of boys that had died from ogling at them as low as possible, honestly they had gotten better. The last time I had seen them they already would have killed most of them. The two kids meanwhile were being shown around camp by Chiron. It was all going well until Annabeth said too much about me.

"He said he was the god of shadows and hunting and a few other-" Annabeth said loudly before Thalia clapped her hand over her mouth

I frowned hopefully none of the gods were paying attention right now.

"What are you doing?" Thalia hissed

"I'm telling them about Perseus!" Annabeth said clearly proud to have been saved by such an 'important' god

"I doubt Perseus wants us to tell everyone about him!" Thalia hissed in a low voice it was all getting a little too dangerous here so I started trying to discreetly head towards the woods were there were plenty of shadows so I could slip away.

"Hey! Who's that guy?" Some camper shouted out

Thalia groaned and Kyle looked annoyed that no one was paying attention to him. While Annabeth smiled

"It's ok guys! This is Perseus! The god I was telling you all about!" She said loudly

I glared at her but she missed it because she busy smiling triumphantly at the other campers. I glanced over at Thalia who had her hand on her forehead, probably frustrated with Annabeth's pride. I could understand that because if her pride got me sent back to Tartarus, I would honestly kill her.

The campers were mumbling among themselves about this strange new god.

And then one camper decided to speak out

"This is supposed to be a god? He doesn't look so tough!" He said arrogantly.

"Watch your tongue demigod." I said in a mildly irritated tone

"And why should I? I'll bet you've probably had a pathetic life of luxury with servants catering to your every need! I bet your not trained!" He said smugly

Before anyone could even blink there was a black throwing knife in his shoulder in the same place I hit Kyle

"I have seen things that would make even your worst dreams sound like a fairy tale demigod! Do not presume to hams me figured out." I growled

The campers watched me shocked as I started to storm off.

I made it half way to the woods before Annabeth decided to come running up to me.

"Perseus!" She said sharply "What was that? The kid says one thing. And you throw a knife at him?" She asked scoldingly

I glared at her

"You have no idea the things I have been through. How many monsters and demons I have killed. How long I had to go without feeling my domains. Being kept from one of the only beings in this would I still love, my mother. Having to suffer in Tartarus for millenniums! And you, by telling all your little friends about me you have risked me going back to that hell pit! And for what? To show that your something special? That a god that only just escaped Tartarus came to your rescue? Well guess what? I didn't come to save a prideful child of Athena and an arrogant son of Poseidon! I came to save my sister those two innocent demigods! So how about you stop bragging about how a god saved you and start thinking?" I finished angrily

Annabeth just stared at me, flabbergasted at my reprimand and rather insult what I had said about her and Kyle. She glared at me once before turning around and stomping off. I sighed, perhaps I had been a little rough on her. But it is none of her business to be telling everyone about me and trying to make herself look all mighty and special. I began walking towards the forest again hopefully this time I would actually make it. I heard a small noise so I began walking double time trying to get to the shadows for a quiet exit with out drawing too much attention to myself. Just a little farther...

"Well well. I must say I am rather surprised to see you here... Perseus. I heard some of those pathetic campers going on about some god that claimed to be the god of shadows and hunting, I was surprised. And now I'm sure Zeus will be glad to reward me when he sees that I've captured you." A voice sneered

I turned and saw Dionysius dramatically leaning against a tree with his arms folded

"Dionysius, long time no see. Wish it had been longer." I said muttering the last part

Dionysius scowled at me like I was some kind of misbehaving child and he was the ever so superior adult.

"Watch your tongue Perseus when talking to someone above you." He said venomously

"Oh but I'm not, I'm talking to you." I said taking a shot at his pride

His face turned slightly red

He snapped his fingers and celestial steel hand cuffs appeared on my wrists.

He smirked

"We'll see who will be laughing when we throw you back in Tartarus where you belong. You pathetic weakling." He said laughing coldly

My face contorted into anger.

I brought my wrists up and pulled them apart so hard that the bronze chain snapped. I grabbed Dionysius's throat and pulled him in front of his face.

"Do not call me weak." I growled "I endured Tartarus for thousands of years while you sat on your lazy ass tormenting demigods." I thrust him back

His face was pale and his eyes showed fear for several reasons, one that there was a hostile god standing in front of him that was strong enough to break a nearly indestructible metal. And two if Zeus found out that he had seen me and let me escape he would be brutally punished. So he did the one thing he could think of... He punched me in the jaw as hard as he could and watched me go down.

Hope you guys like it! I know it took awhile and I would love to tell you guys that they will start coming faster, but I can't. Basket ball season starts today so I will basically be busy 24/7. And I'm trying to go back and forth between stories. Any way see you guys next time!
