Chapter Four:

Logan's P.O.V

Right before being skewered I was saved by Zoe.

"What do you think you're doing?" She asked the girls

"That's a boy! He doesn't belong here!" One girl shouted

"He belongs here just as much as I." Zoe stated staring at the girls intently

"Explain." A girl with a tiara looking thing on her head

"This . . . is Lady Artemis' son, my brother." Zoe said still staring while the girls took a step back

"But he was taken away . . . wasn't he?" A girl asked Zoe

"Yes, but Lady Artemis and I looked for him and found him, so we brought him back here a few hours ago." Zoe said making the girls look at each other

"Sorry . . ." They all said and started going back to where they were.

"Are you ok?" Zoe said turning around making me realize how short I am, she's at least a foot above me, or am I just short for my age? Oh well.

"Thank you Zoe." I quietly said making her smile

"No problem, it's the older sibling's job to watch out for their younger sibling." Zoe said smiling

"How are you feeling?" Someone asked making me looking behind Zoe and see the person that said that she was my mom was there but in a little older form than last time I saw her.

"I'm ok . . . mom" I said quietly while she gave a small smile

"That's good, and you don't need to be shy about calling me mom like your sister." Mom said making Zoe a little upset.

"It's more respectful calling her Lady Artemis than mom." Zoe said looking away

"You seem smart for your age, why?" Mom asked looking at me kindly giving me a look that I haven't seen in years

"I had to grow up fast." I replied earning a sigh from mom

"I wish you could have more of a normal childhood." She said holding her head.

"I do too, but I guess I was never meant to have one like everyone else." I said earning a sad look from mom and Zoe

"Right . . ." Mom said trailing off.

"Well I think you should-" Mom started as a bright green light shined and slowly drifted away reviling a silver tent and had a note on it that said

This is what you need to do, play the games I told you to play. Only then will you be able to even have a chance to survive the battles you'll eventually face. You may not want to play all of them but I promise that what you'll learn from these games will be of great use to you, trust me. There is a bedroom in the back of the tent and a bathroom, no need to worry about unnecessary things.

-Farore

P.S.: Think of this as your lost childhood and Artemis, never let him out of your camp unless guarded they know about him now.

"Well, that was interesting to read, when were you going to tell me that you meant one of the three Golden Goddesses?" Mom asked seriously

"A little bit ago, why?" I asked tilting my head in confusion

"Never mind, don't worry about it." Mom said looking away

Artemis P.O.V.

'Why did he have to look so much like his father?' I thought to myself while I notice when he did that he seemed so cute, just like his father when he was confused. Which means that I'll have to watch out for girls outside the hunt, I seriously doubt the hunters will find it cute, but girls outside will probably go nuts over him like his father, oh please make it not so. I mentally pleaded to anyone who was listening, and what about 'they know about him now'? Who are they? It probably doesn't matter right now.

"Mom, you ok?" Logan asked still having his head tiled making me smile

"Yes my baby, just remembering the past and over thinking things." I said smiling weakly

"Come; let's see what Farore has given you." I said motioning to the tent that appeared. When we entered it was more like a normal mortal living room than a tent, there was a couch, TV, and a machine that looked like the Triforce next to the TV. Zoe went to look at the machine only for a note to appear in front of her,

"What's this?" She asked as she grabbed the note and began to read

Logan,

This is how you're going to be playing the games; the Triforce gaming system has all of the games need for you to understand this quest. Have fun and remember to train too, don't just play through all the games at once, Artemis, I expect you to handle this.

As Logan heard the last part he went up to the couch and found a Wii remote and Nunchuck sitting there

"Well this is going to be fun." Logan said as he sitting down and started looking at the system until I grabbed him

"Not so fast, we need to see how you far with a sword and bow." I said earning a groan from him

"Why now, let me at least start!" He asked while I nodded no

"Please!" He asked again

"No, after your training." I said I'm making sure that he can properly defend himself, I did with his sister before him and I'll do it with him to. I didn't go through all the pains of being pregnant only to lose him to some random monster, that and I would never here the end of it, from everyone. Earning a small laugh from Zoe

"Would you like to join?" I asked her making her go quiet.

"I thought so." I smiled in victory as Logan stood up again and walked out of the tent with me behind him.

"This way." I motioned Logan by placing a hand on his head and leading him like that to the archery training grounds that we set up, where I was going to use as a swords training ground as well for Logan.

Hours passed as I trained him, it wasn't too hard since he was a natural at the bow like me, and a natural swords men like his father. It made me smile when it was done. I was so happy that he was doing well, and soon I wouldn't have to worry as much, but only a little bit.

"Enough training today, you're a natural like your father and me at both, soon though you'll might just pass your father in the ways of the sword, you are extremely close to his level of sword play." I complimented him as he smiled a big smile

"I'm I getting as good as you with the bow, mom?" He asked as I laughed

"I doubt you'll be as good as me, not even your uncle is as good as me, and he had loads of years to over pass me." I said earning a sad look from Logan

"But it doesn't me that you'll be any less to me if you can't beat me in archery, I only expect the best of your ability with the bow. I still love you as much as I love your sister." I reassured him smiling which in return I got a smile from him.

"LIES!" A voice said making me groan I knew that voice.

"Apollo, what are you doing here?" I asked ticked that he was here.

"You're lying to my little nephew." Apollo said going up to Logan and kneeling next to him "Your mother isn't the best; I am, since I'm older, wise, older, awesomer, and older. I did say older right?" Apollo said to Logan who got an uncomfortable look on his face making me even more ticked

"Stop feeding him lies Apollo . . ." I growled as he looked at me in fear the fear he shows when we are going to have a 'decision' about my rules.

"Logan, my baby boy, please go back to your tent, I got to talk to your uncle for a bit." I said smiling a smile that scared Apollo even more.

"Ok mom, see you later." He said smiling and waved leaving us alone as Apollo watch and stuck his hand out as if to try and pull him back.

"Bye, see you later." I said waving with my smile reserved only for my children

"Now let's discus about not corrupting my child, even a little bit Apollo. Also who's older?" I told and asked him as he looked at me in fear.

Zoe's P.O.V.

When Logan came into the camp he looked completely worn out, but I'm surprised that he wasn't carried back from training by mother, that what she did to me. Perhaps being hunted by the wrecked adopted father and his friends over the years built up his stamina, that's seems like the only solution. I was worried since he could have easily been attacked by a monster walking back.

"Logan, you ok?" I asked as he looked at me with tired eyes

"Yeah, just a little tired nothing sleep won't fix." He said walking to me, but his eyes slowly closed and he fell forcing me to catch him.

"LOGAN!" I shouted making everyone look at us.

"What's wrong with him?" Asked one hunter, I think her name was Emily

"I believe he's just tired take him to his tent." Thalia said walking to me "No need to panic." She finished.

"Sorry . . ." I told her she just shrugged

"I have a young brother too. I understand your position." She said smiling while I nodded and took him to his tent from Farore and set him down in the bedroom that was decently created, the room was silvery green, and what looks like a tunic, five actually in a closet. One green one that just looked like a normal tunic, a blue one that looks like it was made of scales, and many other things from the ocean, a red on that seemed like it was lava, a yellow one with wings, and black one that make it look more for stealth than anything, but they had only one thing all in common, other than looking like it can take a master bolt to the chest and the wearer could go on just fine, is that they had a really weird hat. Next to the closet was a huge shelf but nothing on it, below it was two sets of gloves, one golden and one that held power in them and what looked like a dial on them too. I decided to ignore the rest and set Logan on the bed

"Night Logan." I said and he smiled a little which made me smile and I got up and left the tent. When I excited the tent I saw mother, walking from the direction that Logan came from with a smile on her face

"Mother." I said respectfully

"Where's Logan? I still wish to speak with him." Mom said looking around

"He's asleep; he was very exhausted when he returned." I replied to her

"Oh I see. I guess now I will have to wait until morning I suppose." She said going towards Logan's tent.

"Mother, where are you going?" I asked as she turned her head

"A mother can't say good night?" She asked making me go red with embarrassment

"Sorry mother." I replied going back to the fire where the other hunters were at.

Artemis P.O.V.

When she left I turned to the tent and walked into it and headed towards Logan's room. Upon entering I noticed that he was sweating and seemed to be having a nightmare.

"Logan . . . Logan wake up." I said shaking his shoulder his face morphing into a pain stricken one it made me sad at the thought of him, or Zoe in pain for that matter in pain. What made me jump was his scream of agony as I now shook him harder trying to wake him up

"LOGAN!" I shouted waking him up and with tears forming in his small eyes he jump into my arms and started crying.
"M-Mom! There was a monster looking man telling me mean things and he wouldn't stop. He told me he'll torture me and do other unspeakable things to me if I interfere with his plans. I'm scared." He cried into my chest, very unlike him, Logan was always acted un-childlike when I first found him he, was so mature, but looking at him like this, made me realize there is still a five year-old in him still. It made me so angry to see him so scared.

"I promise that I will not let this man hurt you. No one will mess with my children." I said to him making him look up.

"You mean it?" He asked in a small voice.

"Yes, I do, my baby boy." I said petting his head as I start rocking him back and forth sing a lullaby, which I didn't know I knew, until he was asleep.

"No one is going to get you, not while I am around to stop it." I promised myself as I laid down holding him protectively as I let myself go to sleep since we Olympian's didn't need sleep, but I was going to, so he can sleep peacefully.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter; the adventure is coming, maybe next chapter, or two chapters from now, or further down, I'm not sure. Anyway thanks for reading and PJO and LoZ are not mine, and will never will be.
