Chapter 3: Adopted daughter
Artemis had dragged percy into her tent, he was used to bigger on the inside magic, after all, his mother's room was thirty times bigger than it should be. The inside was about the same size as his room in Valhalla, ten times smaller than his mother's room in Hel.
"Ground rules first. " artemis sighed as she looked at percy. Her normally Stern demener replaced with that of a person who had given up." No flirting with my hunters, be respectful of them, help them when they want you to, do Not go behind my back and cheat on me, since we're to be married I will castrate you for it. "
" shouldn't be a problem, much like thou hunters I too am under oath, I swore on the all father's beard I would not have relations with a maiden of whoom I am not Wed. " percy explained. Artemis's eye twitched slightly.
" Okay, new rule. " artemis sighed." use modern English, it can be hard enough to understand zoe half of the time since barely anyone talks that way anymore. "
" Thine art cruel. " percy sighed.
" suck it up male. " artemis scoffed.
" All father i need help, grant me use of the language of moderns. " percy called. There was a silvery gold flash." did it work? I don't feel any different. " he stated, he still kept a slight accent but he was speaking how modern people would.
" it worked. " artemis confirmed.
" Thank you odin. " percy called skyward, a low rumble was the response." CAN IT ZEUS! "
" You really hate him, don't you? " artemis smiled. Anyone who hated her dad, she was happy with. Contrary to belief she hated her father, asides Apollo he was the biggest man-whore ever.
" He reminds me of my father. Arogent, man-whore, rude and power hungry. " percy stated calmly." Not to mention the amount of trouble he has caused the Norse council. "
" Still, your father had a day named after him. " artemis reasoned." that would probably make anyone Arogent. "
" true. " percy sighed." I'm still sorry that you have to go through with the marriage. "
" Well, whatever. " artemis sighed." can't change anything now. " percy nodded and laid down on the floor, confusing artemis." Percy, what are you doing? "
" It is dark out and late lady artemis, I thought I was to sleep in here? " percy said/asked.
" yes you are, but don't sleep there, on the bed, but touch me inappropriately and I WILL castrate you, understand? "artemis asked sternly. Percy nodded and slept at the end of the bed. Artemis sighed, she hated it but the male god was one she deemed acceptable, he'd put up with the punishments meant for his mother, he'd befriended Zoe which was near impossible and it helped she found him cute in his 12 year old form. She laid down on the bed and fell asleep. The next nothing they both sprung awake at the sound of arguing. Artemis blushed slightly since in her sleep she had cuddled upto percy at the other end of the bed. They both got out of the tent to find the hunters arguing with a woman in her early 20s with black hair, blue eyes and a Viking style short sword.
"what is going on? " artemis demanded.
" This woman rushed in, attacked us and demanded that she sees perseus. " pheobe explained bluntly.
" It's okay, she's my adopted daughter. " percy explained to pheobe." Sally, what's wrong? "
" Gabe again. " Sally muttered. Percy's eyes flashed with anger.
" where in the nine realms is that rapist fuck?! " percy shouted in pure anger, many of the hunters flinched at the mention of rape." I'll skin him alive! "
" He didn't do anything this time, but he's been following me ever since I left New York. " Sally sighed. It was now that artemis took note that the woman's clothing was ripped and torn in places and her belt was cut.
" Sally, do you know where this, Gabe is? " artemis asked.
" About two hundred yards South from here. " Sally shuddered briefly." If it were upto me, I'd drown him, but he deserves worse. " she then looked at percy oddly." dad, when did you start talking normally? "
" gift from odin. " percy shrugged before pulling his scepter out, it was a charcoal black and had a violet gem in the top of it, silver blades adorned the part which held in the gem, like a eagle talon." Lady artemis, wish to help me? "
" Hunting a rapist? I don't think I could resist. " artemis smirked as she summoned her bow from thin air.
" wish the Norse could do that, we have to carry weapons with us. " percy explained before he set off with artemis.
" so, when did you adopt her? " artemis asked.
" When she was 14 years old, I found her in a alleyway with her clothes torn, tied up and gagged surrounded by monsters and the bull thing, minatoto or something. " percy explained.
" minator. " artemis corrected, percy nodded then he continued." After I saved her and explained what was going on, she told me she was raped by a man, Gabe, I couldn't find him but after looking through her memories I know what he looks like, he's a pig. " he snarled." Sally told me that her mum had died in a plane accident and asked who I was. I explained to her about Norse mythology and that she was a demigod, I then asked if she'd like to be my daughter and she said yes. " he finished as they reached the 3 quarter point towards their target.
" I'll send him to Tarterus. " Artemis muttered in anger. Percy nodded in agreement.
Three yards ahead they saw a fat man, mid thirties, bold, wearing a yellow stained white shirt, baggy pants and he had a knife in his hand as he walked forwards.
Percy growled darkly at the man and shifter to his forty year old form, artemis had to admit, he was hot, like aphrodite wouldn't want her to be married to him hot. He stalked out with artemis who had her bow aimed.
"who are ya? " Gabe snorted as percy drew his scepter.
" Percy, I'm Sally's father. " percy dead panned.
" put yeah right, little slut's a orphan. " Gabe scoffed." tight pussy too. " he gave a sick grin." bet the Sheila will too. " he added smirking at artemis. Percy snapped his fingers and the man stumbled back in fright." w-what are you? "
" we are gods. " percy dead panned.
" what did you do? " artemis asked smirking, she liked this method already, Gabe was literally wetting himself.
" I made him clear sighted, he can see us properly now. " he grinned." Gabe, you've raped my daughter and threatened my fiancé Lady artemis. "
Gabe paled exponentially, he was no genius but he just threatened to rape the man hating goddess.
" artemis. Free reign. " percy went to run but was held in place by shackles of earth.
" die. " artemis snarled before unloading a dozen arrows into gabe's testicles. He howled in pain and dropped, clutching the bleeding area. She then shot arrows into his arms and legs. Percy walked up to Gabe and plunged the gem into gabe's back, cutting it open as blood seeped out in rivers, he cried in pain.
"Milady you may have the kill shot. " percy grinned as he grabbed Gabe by his head and forced him to look up. Artemis fired the arrow, killing Gabe instantly.
" dear Hades, please send him to Tarterus. " artemis prayed.
The body faded from sight making both gods sigh with relief, he'd been taken to Tarterus.
" let's get ready for camp. " artemis grinned as she slung her bow over her shoulder and help Percy's hand who had his scepter over his shoulder as he walked back to the hunters, hand in hand. Although neither wanted to admit it, they did like each other, maybe there was hope for them yet.
