Chapter 11:

"But Percy! You promised you wouldn't leave us behind!" Hinata cried gripping onto his leader's shirt tightly.

Percy gave him an apologetic smile. "I don't want to but I won't let you get hurt. You haven't had enough training."

Haru started sobbing, "I swear I train really hard!"

Percy smiled at him, "That's why you're staying. It's your job to keep all these boys safe. Do you think you can handle it?"

Haru's eyes lit up and he nodded. "I'll do my best."

Dylan and Jamie were in Damien and Alexander's arms, the older boys not wanting to let go afraid to never see them again.

"Don't leave us."

Jason gave the smallest boys a smile. "Don't worry. Leo is a great guy. I trust him."

Thalia kneeled next to the smaller girls and hugged them, "Be brave. Hazel will take really good care of you warriors."

Layla threw her arms around Thalia and started sobbing. Delya and a seven year old girl named Acai joined the hug.

Percy and Artemis led the way to a large cottage house in the woods and Percy knocked on the wooden door.

A small boy opened the door and frowned. "Daddy! Some strange people are at the door!" he called making sure that no one would be able to get through the door.

"One sec!" a voice called back. A couple seconds later Leo appeared with a little boy on his hips. He smiled as soon as he saw Percy. "Hey, what brings you here? Another brat to take off your hands?"

Percy shook his head amused as the small boy at Leo's feet protested about being a brat.

Leo frowned when he noticed Artemis and two groups of Hunters. "What's wrong?"

"Can we talk inside?" Percy asked.

Leo eyed the large mass of teenagers on his yard and hesitated before nodding. "Are you hungry? I was just about to make lunch."

"Yes please," Percy nodded. "We could use a homemade meal before going into battle."

Leo faltered. "Battle? Again? Geez Perce, are you ever going to just settle down. Raise the next generation of heroes?"

"You know I could never do that." Percy smiled. The large group of people entered the cottage and sat in a large sitting room.

"Percy!" an excited voice said and a seven year old girl jumped into Percy's arms.

"Hello Zaida." Percy said affectionately. Artemis couldn't help but smile at the sight of Percy with a little girl in his arms.

Leo motioned Percy, Thalia, Jason and Nico to follow him to the kitchen while everyone else remained sitting in an awkward silence.

Artemis smiled kindly at Zaida, "Where is your mother?"

"Mommy's at work. She and Papa work in Olympus and Daddy stays at home and takes care of us."

"Papa?" Annabeth frowned. The other girls stared at her not realizing she was there.

Piper frowned and scowled. "I know Hazel was a slut."

Isaiah, the boy who opened the door, scowled. "Mommy is a good and nice person. She works so hard."

Zaida pulled her brother into her arms and glared at Piper. "Don't listen to her Isaiah. She doesn't know what she's talking about."

Just then a blur of blond rushed in followed closely by a red and brown blur.

The blonde, Evelina or Eve as she was called was the oldest of the three two year olds started complaining. Lesli, the red haired blur screamed at the blond while the brunette, Alana, just ignored her sisters and stared at the strange people in the house.

Alana tugged on Isaiah's hand. "Who are they?"

"You remember Percy, right? These are his Hunters. The people who saved you."

Alana smiled cutely, "Oh yeah. Daddy told me many stories about them before bed. They rescued Yumi. She's so cute."

"Yumi? That's out sister!" Haru said running over to her. Hinata at his feet.

Alana smiled, "You look like her. She's our neighbor."

"I want to see her again. Let's ask Percy!" Haru ran toward the room Percy had gone in.

"Percy! I want to see Yumi!" Haru said interrupting whatever conversation was going on.

Leo smiled at Haru and kneeled in front of him. Kyle stared at Haru with big eyes and giggled. "How about I take you to visit her tomorrow? How does that sound?"

Haru looked at Percy. "You're still leaving?"

Percy smiled. "I love you, you know that. I won't be able to live with myself if something were to happen to you."

Haru started to cry, "I want to be with you though."

Percy gave him a pained smile, "I hate having to be apart from you boys. But I need you to stay with Leo. Please? You will be able to see your sister whenever you want."

Haru flung his arms and legs around Percy and held him tightly. Leo smiled and hugged Kyle closer to him. It must be very painful for the boys to separate after all the trauma they endured in their lives.

Hazel and Frank sighed and entered their house. Frank was untying his tie and Hazel was removing her jacket when they both froze.

"Leo! Where'd all these little kids come from?" Hazel called.

Leo poked his head through the door frame and smiled shyly. "These are Hunters. Percy and Artemis' Hunters. They asked if I would take care of them while they went on a dangerous mission. I said I would."

"I want Percy!" Hinata cried running up to Leo. "Mr. Leo? Is a woman. Is she going to hurt us?"

Hazel's heart sunk when she heard the fear in the boy's voice. She would never hurt a child.

Leo smiled and ruffled his hair. "She's nice. Don't worry."

Dylan yawned, "I'm tired." The rest of the Hunters nodded. They all looked sad and helpless and scared at being away from their Hunter family.

Leo smiled at them, "Sure." He knew they must be exhausted from everything that happened.

Percy and Artemis felt like they had a gaping hole in their hearts. It was for the best but that didn't make it hurt any less.

All the Hunters huddled together in silence. Boys and girls, not shouting or arguing. No one was demeaning the other gender.

It was nice. Something felt nice. Like they belonged.

Tomorrow they would be in danger. But today it was the last day of peace.
