Our love was so pure, yet I let it go

Chapter 32

Artemis's bedroom in her Palace (Of course)

Artemis let out a sigh; relieved Percy and her were still dressed, although, she did keep eyeing Percy's bare chest.

" You know I envy how you two went at each other without doing it, I mean you two were animals." Aphrodite said from the doorway. She was twirling a key in her right hand. Artemis blush could be seen from space and the underworld if you looked up close enough.

" How'd you know about what we did last night?" Artemis questioned, which if you were talking to the all seeing goddess of love that is a stupid question.

" I'm the goddess of love. By the way how was the way it felt to let all those feelings out? Wait I'll wait until after you explain how Percy got here to your Hunters," Just as she said that, Artemis heard the front door of the palace open. Before Artemis could ever curse out her name, Aphrodite had popped into heart shaped bubbles. Percy stirred and looked at Artemis who was still sitting up on the bed. He sat up and looked at her with a worried look.

" Calm down Percy, your pants are still on." Artemis said as she got off the bed and tried to straiten her dress.

" Okay then. Wow we really did miss each other last night didn't we?" Percy said with an evil smile making Artemis smile with him. Percy got out of bed and began his search for his dress shirt and tux coat. That's when the Hunters showed up on the bedroom door way.

" Lady Artemis, uh this is a bad time isn't it?" Taylor said. If this had been a cartoon 99.9 percent of all the hunters' jaws would hit the floor. One hunter even fainted as some began mumbling gibberish, and some even turned around and walked back down stairs.

" Wait it's not like it looks like," Artemis said, as her dress still wasn't nicely strait. Percy was getting a lot of looks from some hungry hunters; you know what I meant by that, as he was picking up his white dress shirt from the floor.

" Well it looks like you two had some fun," Daisy blurted out as the couple turned a deep red.

" Taylor you could even ask your mother," Artemis said as Taylor began running off.

" On it my lady!" Taylor yelled, already half way down the stairs.

" What have I done?" Artemis mumbled placing her palm on her forehead. The next few minutes went by with Artemis and Percy still being eyed like prey by the hunters.

" Your safe for now," Taylor said as the hunters let out the breaths that they had been holding. They went their separate ways and left the couple to chill. Percy was finally fully dressed.

" I gotta go back." Percy said heading for the hallway.

" Wait, tell Lindsay to get her butt up here I need to talk to her," Artemis said as Percy walked back to her and pecked her on the lips before rushing out of the palace and Olympus.

Camp half-blood an hour later

Percy walked into camp to see his dad and Lindsay standing a few yards from each other. " Would you stop following me you salty old fish?" Lindsay said. Poseidon ignored her comment and glared at Percy, " Hey Percy."

" Percy tell who is this girl and where have you've been?" his father asked. Lindsay gave Percy the tell him and I'll skin you alive look, which could be mistaken for the I'll give you a cookie if you tell him look if you were Percy.

" Her name is Lindsay, and she is a daughter of Aphrodite and a hunter of Artemis." Percy said returning his father's glare.

" Where have you've been?" Poseidon said.

" Oh I've been with Artemis and thanks for hurting me," Percy said causing Poseidon to emit a killer aura.

" How have I hurt you Percy?" Poseidon asked like he didn't know anything.

" You made Artemis break us up, and mostly you hurt her. You caused her pain, you made her believe pushing me away was the best way to help me achieve my dream as a marine biologist. You forged my report cards, you threw problems that should have been aimed at me at her. You did almost everything possible to break us up. You tried to rip the one I love from me. You even listed reason that should have been said to me. I have to admit when you try, you try very hard father," Percy roared and step closer to his father.

" Wow lord Poseidon ready to go jump into the lake yet?" Lindsay said.

" Oh and Lindsay, Artemis wants you up on Olympus ASAP," Percy said never looking away from his father.

" See ya, two." Lindsay said as she began walking towards New York City,Hermes stopped her.

" Here you go one special letter to a miss. ******" Hermes said smiling his boyish smile.

" Thanks lord Hermes." Lindsay said. She opened the letter to find a seed and a very neatly folded piece of line paper. She unfolded it to find very neat handwriting on the paper. Keeping the seed in her other hand she began reading.

Dear Lindsay one of my many grandchildren,

Give the seed to Percy and tell him to not plant it because it will grow on instant contact with soil. And say he doesn't need to worry about a ring. This is my present to my favorite great grandchild.

From,

Yyour grandmother.

Lindsay smiled and ran back towards Percy to see bubbles where Poseidon had been standing.

" Hey Percy here take this seed." Lindsay said handing him the seed. It was black and very small.

" Why?" Percy said looking oddly at the seed.

" Let's just say plant that and you don't need to buy a ring. Oh and you better hope Lady Artemis doesn't let me off early." Lindsay said walking away as Rachel and Annabeth came up behind Percy.

On Olympus.

Lindsay walked out of the elevator and headed towards Artemis's palace. She saw Poseidon and Zeus arguing. Poseidon saw her and glared at her which she smiled at him like a child in return. Zeus saw her and just left her alone.

" How can you let your daughter date my son?" Posiedon asked as Lindsay was almost out of range to hear them.

" Causes I am not blinded by rage and all I want is my children's happiness." Zeus said. That was the last thing she heard before she couldn't hear them anymore. She was scared, and Lindsay had only one fear. Once you've killed monsters, people, seen the black plague, dark ages, and holocaust little things scare you. Hers was as simple as being mortal; she feared of losing those close to her and the gods have the ability to do that. Ares had done it; she had lost her friends that were in the hunt through all those years. When she reached Artemis's palace she searched for the spare key. She found it and slipped it into the keyhole. And turned the doorknob. Opening the door to see some hunters in the kitchen from the door less opening from the living room to the kitchen as she entered.

" Hey Kate, where's Lady Artemis?" Lindsay asked.

" Helping Taylor and some other hunters train the younger hunters," Kate replied cutting some green onions.

" How can I help?" Lindsay asked seeing only five hunters were here cooking.

" How about you season the meat over there," Kate said.

Back at camp Half-blood

" So Percy where have you've been?" Rachel asked as Annabeth looked over him.

" I was at a friends house." Percy lied, well if you could call it a lie.

" Percy, your friends didn't come into camp to pick you and have a guys night out, as well as your friends here were all a counted for at the party after you left Rachel." Annabeth said.

" Fine... Fine… I was at my girlfriend's house, you happy? And before you ask, yes, Annabeth we got back together. And I'm sorry Rachel that I never told you that I went out with Lady Artemis last summer. So yeah me and Artemis are an item," Percy stated as he began walking towards his cabin.

" Wait he dated the anit-man goddess? He's that good?" Rachel asked.

" Depends," Annabeth responded.

" I'm gonna guess you have a plan, and I assume its a last ditch effort, right?" Rachel said noticing Annabeth was in deep thought.

" Yes I will get him, or you. I have no problem with you and him like when we where younger. So, if he does go to you will give up being the oracle?" Annabeth asked.

Artemis's palace

Artemis and the hunters that were training outside came in to see a feast, prepared by the older Hunters. Artemis took this time to speak to Lindsay in private. She grabbed Lindsay by the arm, as she was about to sit down. Lindsay just followed as they entered a spare bedroom.

" So what's up?" Lindsay greeted.

" I should have listened to you," Artemis said softly.

" It's okay, first relationships have problems and there's no need to put yourself up to an, 'I told you so moment' cause we all go through that." Lindsay said.

" What are you talking about? Isn't this is your first relationship?" Artemis asked.

" Understanding love to a point without going crazy comes easy to me as you know, because of my mother. As well as I lost him before I could even try." Lindsay said.

" Yes, I know," Artemis said remembering for Lindsay when that man gave his life for hers.

" Well it's in the past. It still haunts me, that I could have done something, though," Lindsay said. She knows there are a lot of regrets when you have a long lifespan. She also still regrets, and wonders, what would have happened if she married Alexander the Great, seeing as he did ask her hand in marriage; But her thoughts were interrupted by Taylor rushing into the room panting.

" My lady, Lord Poseidon wished to see you." Taylor said in between breaths.

" Where is he?" Artemis asked,

" In the main living room, Lady Artemis." Taylor said again inbetween tried breaths.

" I'll go with you my lady." Lindsay said walking behind Artemis as Taylor stared at the two. The two entered the main living room to see Poseidon sitting with a stone hard glare directed towards Lindsay, which Lindsay giggled at. (Yes she giggled if she wasn't playing mind games she would never giggle.)

" We met again daughter of Aphrodite. Artemis," Poseidon greeted.

" So why are you here Uncle?" Artemis asked holding in her anger.

" To tell you to stop dating Percy," Poseidon said without changing his position and expression.

" I'm sorry, but I love him and he loves me. I won't leave him, ever," Artemis said firmly.

" Then I'm sorry for starting a pointless conversation," Posiedon said as he vanished.

" The nerve of him," Artemis mumbled.

Next year; the last Saturday of camp for the summer.

" Artemis, how long have we've been together?" Percy asked.

" I really don't know Percy," Artemis replied as they sat on the green grassy hill that they had shared their first kiss. Percy had taken a spoon from the mess hall and slowly on the side opposite of where Artemis was from him he dug into the dirt, just enough to cover the seed.

" It seems like years doesn't it?" Percy asked staring at the star lit night.

" Yes it does," Artemis said softly. Percy was amazed as a flower grew, well the flower part or the petals and center was a golden ring with a 7-karat diamond. It was one diamond that was slightly purple in color, as well as having ruby and sapphires holding the diamond in place on the ring. The words 'to the woman who has caught my heart' was neatly written on the inside of the ring. (You know what I mean by the inside please don't lecture me about that.) Percy plucked it, literally, and looked into the silvery eyes of his Huntress. She was wondering about what he was looking at. Percy kneeled as she still sat and Artemis's mind went blank.

" I know we haven't been dating for more then two years. But I love and I don't want my father to try to rip us apart anymore. And I also would be honored if you became my wife." Percy said and showed her the ring, " Artemis, my huntress, will you marry me?" Artemis was completely frozen as Poseidon erupted before them, as did Lindsay and Aphrodite.

" Percy, I will not allow this!" Poseidon roared so loud that the entire nation could probably hear him.

" Leave them be Poseidon." Aphrodite said as Lindsay slapped her forehead.

"Argh at least this isn't a freaking drama on international television," Lindsay thought, totally annoyed by both her mother and Poseidon.

NEXT TIME: " I object to this wedding. Percy should be with someone that can age with him and a demigod marrying a god is unheard of, this is wrong. Even you, Lady Hera, should know it." Annabeth said surprising everyone, including her mother. Oh this is just great when ever I try to do something for others some idiot has to get in the way, Lindsay thought face palming her forehead.

An: I put the spoon in cause I went blank on that part so I just went with what the hell. Oh yeah I'll put this out some of my Authors note will be me for swearing lolz in the next chapter probably cause I'm really sick and I hate being really sick.
