The Goddess Guard
"And who are you?" Perseus asked
"My name is Orion" Artemis turned to Perseus and gave him a look that said they would talk later as he was bandaging his flesh wound. She then turned back to Orion.
"I guess we will have to heal that wound you gave him, besides you are his brother" She said looking at Orion but still directing her voice to Perseus."What do you mean brother?" Orion asked."What do you think you dumb ass?" Perseus asked. "You mean your a son of Poseidon too?" Perseus sarcastically clapped his hand."Wow give this man a prize" He said. Then Orion got mad for being mocked. He could bairly notch an arrow due to his injury. He let loose an arrow that sped towards Perseus. But this time he was ready. He quickly caught it and dashed at Orion. When he reached him, he slammed the arrow in the shoulder that didn't already have one. Once again Orion screamed in agony. "Perseus stand down, your father is angry at you enough" Perseus sneered."I care not of his anger. That man is no father of mine after what I found out about what he did to her"
"What are you talking about, father is the most caring of all Olympians" Orion weakly let loos an emotionless laugh."Our father is anything but caring" Thunder boomed in the backround."Oh shutup you idiot" Perseus yelled to the sky."Perseus that's enough, I don't want my hunters getting hurt over the feud with you have with my uncle" Perseus' face darkened."If he touches my sisters I will send him to Tartarus my self"Artemis' eyes widened. She knew that Perseus is not one to give false threats."Are you going to help me or what?" Orion exclaimed. Perseus glared at him."Do not think that you are going to lead people around at our camp, the only reason why we are going to help you is because of your father" Orion pouted at this. Perseus looked at Artemis and she nodded. Perseus walked over to Orion and pulled out one of his hunting knives. He cowered in fear as Perseus quickly brought down the hilt of blade onto the skull of the man. affectively knocking him out. Perseus slung him on his shoulder and began walking towards the camp without another word to Artemis.
Artemis quickly caught up to him."You didn't have to be that rough" Artemis said."Yes my lady" She looked at him sadly."You know there once a time when you called me Arty" Perseus still let no emotion on his face."That was a long time ago my lady" Artemis was on the verge of tears now."Why" Was the only thing she said."Why what my lad?" Perseus said even though he knew very well what she was talking about."Why don't you want to be my friend?" She said still trying not to cry."You obviously do not want me if you swore off the company of men, well except for my brother here apparently" Then she got angry."You are an exception to that rule and what do you mean except for your brother?" His face was still not giving in."I can still feel your emotions even if it is only the slightest bit emotion" Artemis looked surprised then furious."YOU LIE!"Artemis expected a reaction from him but still nothing."What ever you say my lady" Then Artemis concentrated on Perseus and her link, trying to read his emotions or mind."Do not even try my lady, I have enough mental blocks to prevent you from reading my emotions" Finally Artemis gave up...For now that is. She promised to find out what the hell was wrong with Perseus. She would get her best friend back even if it killed her.
When they reached camp every hunter bombarded them trying to ask about the how the hunt went but when they saw the man on Perseus' shoulder they all sneered and yelled in protest until Artemis' put his hand up affectively silencing all of them."This man will be here until he is healed,because I don't want you to be punished by my uncle" They all groaned."But do not worry it will not be long until he is sent on his way" They nodded. "Why does he need to be healed any way?" Zoe asked."Because Perseus put two of his own arrows in his shoulders" They all laughed histricly."Now go set up his tent. So they did what they were told.
It's been a week since Orion has entered the camp and Perseus could thoroughly say that he is pissed,frustrated,annoyed, and most of all furious. Every day a daughter of Apollo would go into his tent to heal him and come out looking disgusted, and saying they would never go in there again. The stupid man has obviously been trying to get with a hunter and failing. Now to everyones annoyance (except Artemis) he is up and walking. He has been shooting his bow with expert accuracy. He is as good at any other hunter but still cannot reach the skill of Perseus but he didn't know that. Time and time again he would challenge Perseus and every time Perseus would refuse. He even had the nerve to flirt with Zoe. That didn't go to well with Zoe. She kicked him hard in the crotch and walk away. Of course when Perseus told Artemis about this she just said it was a misunderstanding. Perseus knew her emotions for the man. She was extremely impressed with the man and trusted him more then she would trust Perseus. She translated the impressiveness of his skills into love instead. So she was blinded by anything he did. Perseus decided to just let him go until it went to far one night.
Perseus was sitting on a high branch outside of Artemis tent instead of sleeping like he usually does. When he heard the snapping of branches when he looked over he saw Orion sneaking off somewhere towards the hunters tent. Perseus jumped off his branch and sneaked to the tent. When he was a yard or two from the tent he heard footsteps behind him.
"What do you think your doing Perseus" Artemis said in a rage filled eyes. Right when he was about to answer when a silver arrow flew into his back. Perseus as usual showed no pain. There was a muffled scream from the tent that Artemis didn't hear."I knew you would turn into a pig from your jealousy!" She whisper yelled. Perseus didn't listen as he printed for the tent. He felt 3 more arrows in his back but he kept running. Inside he saw what he feared the most. A young hunter lay unconscious as Orion continued to violate her. Perseus' eyes filled with rage as he started to stab his half brother at inhuman speeds with his hunting knives. When he lay dead Perseus quickly ran to the hunter and covered the hunter with a blanket. Then the pain kicked right as Artemis walked in. She saw Orion with no pants on dead with many stab wounds and Perseus with his usual emotionless face staring at Artemis. He said one last thing before falling to the ground.
"I hope he was worth it"
