Yup, it's been a long time hasn't it? Well, to cut it short, here my next chapter.

Chapter 17

The room was dark, so very dark, it frightened her. She tried widening her eyes to maybe catch a glimpse of light but saw nothing. She could feel him coming closer, the hairs on her neck rising quickly and she shivered slightly. A click and blessed light scorched her eyes.

Click.

"Geez, Eros, why do you have to be so dramatic?" whined Artemis as she rubbed her eyes. Eros raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

She was sitting at a small glass table. A manilla folder with blank pages was across from her, and a rather birght light fixture was hanging above her head. Eros pushed it and it began to swing back and forth obnoxiously. In the room was a digital clock that read 7:38 and beside it a doorway. She sighed and rolled her eyes. It didn't take much for the goddess to guess that Eros wanted his investigation to look like one's done in old movies.

"Cuz I can." He said and closed his eyes, crossing his arms. Artemis thew a pen at his head.

"OW!"

"Well, maybe I wouldn't have done that if you were nicer to me. Anyways, where Psyche?"

"She's visiting her parents."

"Aren't they dead?" Artemis inquired.

"She has a pass for Limbo." He said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Artemis threw another pen at him.

"OW! What'd I do to deserve that?!"

"Humph, cuz I can."

"Yea right- OW! Where are you getting all these pens anyway?!" He cried and used his arms to protect his head.

"Apollo gave me a magical pen to use. He said it's so I won't lose it while I'm out."

"How.....thoughtful. Anyway onto business. What happened to Kore when she lost her memory?" Eros asked quickly and pointed his index finger at her face. She looked at him suspiciously and slapped his finger away.

"Don't tell me that you're going to use the info I'm giving you to somehow kidnap Kore so she'll remember Hades so he'll be happy again." Hermes blinked.

"How-how-"

"Eros, I know everything." She smirked. He bowed his head.

"Hermes told you." She winked.

"Yup."

"DUDE!!! THAT ISN'T COOL!" He cried out to himself.

"Stop yelling and I'll tell you what you need to know." Hermes quieted.

"So tell me."

A few minutes later

"-And that's what happened." Artemis finished.

"Hmm...I'm going to need more than that."

"Then talk to Athena and Hera. They might have the answers you need."

"Okay." Artemis turned to leave and paused at the door entrance. She clenched and unclenched her fists.

"I want to help, Eros. Don't keep anything hidden from me next time or.."

"Or?" She turned around with a look of menace in her face.

"Or I'll have to use my new arrows on you."

"O-okay." She smiled happily.

"Well, then, if that's settled, then I'm off to play Gods and Blood 2 with Apollo." She grinned again and ran off to play her violent game.

Eros rubbed his head wearily.

"I wonder if Athena and Hera will say that." He sighed and looked at the clock. It read 8:14

"HOLY GODS, I'M LATE!" He screamed and ran off.

What was Eros late for?

If you ask me, I don't know, but we'll prob see in the next chapter XD

Until next time
