PERCY POV
I have to go to Alaska now. I have to tell Kim...I have to tell John...I have to quit my job...sell my house...sell all of my property! UGH! So much things to do...
I flash myself to Alaska and go to Kim's house.
"Wassup Perce" Kim asked
"I'm going back to my old life" I said
"B-but we just graduated PERCY!" Kim tried to reason with me
"I will visit at least once a week though" I said
"Fine but you better or you are dead! I don't care if you're an immortal" Kim threatened
"Yes Ma'am" I said and saluted mockingly
"Go pack your stuff" Kim said
I left and went to John and said that I'm leaving but I will visit every week at least. I sold my things and I sold my house in 1 week. Now, all I have to do is go to Artemis. The woman that I love! 3 I flashed to her palace on Olympus.
"Hey Percy" She said after giving me a peck on the lips
"Hi Artemis" I said happily
"Do you want to take a walk?" She asked
"Sure, Let's go!" I said
We walked out of her palace and we started walking through the beautiful streets of Olympus but nothing could compare to the Void.
"Hey, Artemis, I've got an idea" I said
"Okay, What is it?" She asked curiously
"Just take my hand" I said
She put her hand in mine and I flashed to the Void. There were beautiful city and so many lights at night and people hurrying about. We walked around the city and saw an AMUSEMENT PARK!
"Hey do you want to go there?" I asked
"Okay" She said and grabbed my hand and ran in
We went on so many rides. That I lost count on how many I've been on. It was late at night now and it was the perfect time to ride the Ferris Wheel. The park was closed but since I was the SON OF CHAOS , I could do whatever I wanted to. I made Artemis go in and the ride started. We went slowly up into the air and it was beautiful. You can see so many cities and you can see Chaos City beautiful. Once we were at the top, I stopped the ride. Artemis looked at me curiously.
I snapped my fingers and my trusty guitar was in my hand again!
A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do
And you know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
We'll forever be in love, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day I won't be able to ask you loud enough
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Oh, yeah
How many girls in the world can make me feel like this?
Baby I don't ever plan to find out
The more I look, the more I find the reasons why
You're the love of my life
You know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
We'll forever be in love , so there ain't no need to rush
But one day I won't be able to ask you loud enough
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
And if I lost everything
In my heart it means nothing
'Cause I have you,
Girl, I have you
To get right down on bended knee
Nothing else would ever be better, better
That day when...
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
(I'll get down on one knee)
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
Got me singing
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Got me singing
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Would you marry me, baby?
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do, yeah.
I took out a ring and got on one knee.
"Artemis, I love you with all of my heart. It may have taken awhile for me to see this but you are the real and true love of my life. You were always there for me when I needed somebody. I don't know where I would be without you. You made my life worth living. You are the reason I am still here on one knee breathing. So Artemis Goddess of the Moon and Hunt, Will you do me the honor and make me you husband?" I asked
Artemis was just staring at me in disbelief. She was there gaping. I felt my heart break more and more by the second and I couldn't believe that I was getting rejected AGAIN! I turned around to flash away but Artemis snapped out of her shock and grabbed me and kissed me full on the lips.
"Of course I would Percy" She said happily
"I love you" I said
"I love you too" Artemis said and I slipped the ring on her finger.
The ring was quite a sight. I made it in Alaska knowing that I would have to wed somebody and my heart knew that, that somebody was Artemis.
The band of the ring was Chaos Silver and it had on the inside engraved 'to the person that makes my life worth living'. There were different jewels on the band like the charm bracelet but in the middle there was a big blue diamond. It is rare like the blue moon.
"It's beautiful Percy! Did you make this?" She asked
"Yeah, I did! I found all the jewels and made it just for you" I said
"Promise me you won't ever leave me" Artemis said
"I swear on the River Styx that I will never leave you" I said as thunder rumbled in the distance
ARTEMIS POV
"Percy I don't deserve all of this not after all the things I did to you" I said sadly
"Artemis look at me" Percy pleaded
I kept my head staring at the ground tears coming out of my eyes
He cupped my face and forced me to look at him.
"Don't you ever say that if anyone is not worthy then, it's me Artemis. Don't ever put yourself down like that again Artemis. Okay?" He said
"Okay" I said
He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. It was a slow but the best kiss I've ever had with him. It was filled with love and passion. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced in life. Standing here with him made me feel complete and whole again. The missing hole in my heart is no longer there it is here because my Percy is here with me and by my side and I will do anything to not change that. You know why? Because I love him.
We sat back down and the ride started again once we were off, he took me to his palace here and that we would stay the night. Once we got there he asked "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah" I responded
"I'll make you something to eat love" He said
After he was done cooking, he handed me a plate of venison pasta! MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! He didn't even summon food! He made it with his own 2 hands.
"It's delicious" I said
"Glad you like it" He said
After we were done with dinner, he asked "Do you want to have a different room Artemis?"
"No, I want to sleep with my fiance" I said lovingly
"Okay then" He said
We went to bed and he put his arms around my waist and I put my head on his chest and we fell asleep.
TIME SKIP
ARTEMIS POV
"Good morning Arty" Percy said
"Good morning Percy" I said
"We should probably tell the council about our engagement" Percy said
"Yeah, We'll tell them soon when there is a council meeting" I said
"We should go to Camp Half-Blood because they haven't seen me in a LONG time" Percy said
"Okay let's get ready and then we'll flash there okay?" I asked
"Okay." Percy (TFIOS)
I got changed and brushed my teeth and took a shower. I also brushed my hair and when I got out Percy was already waiting for me. He grabbed my hand and flashed us to Camp.
"Yeah, Well I have to go see my friends" Percy said
PERCY POV
I went to go see Annabeth since she was the closest to where I was.
I knocked on her cabin and she answered
"Hey Annabeth" I said calmly
"PERCY!?" Annabeth screeched
"Yeah, I had to go forget some things" I said
"Oh, Do you want to hang out later? I have some things I need to do" Annabeth said
"Sure, what time?" I asked
"How about we just skip the camp fire tonight and go to the beach" Annabeth said
"Okay Annabeth. See you later" I said
TIME SKIP
It was time for dinner! I told all of my friends that I came back and they were happy to see that I was safe.
I went to go sit at my table and flashed myself some food so that it is not as much trouble for the nymphs. After I flashed my food. I had two plates. I took one of the plates and went to the fire and sacrificed all of the plate to Artemis. Once, I was back at my table, Artemis looked at me and smiled at me and her eyes told me that she loved me and that she knew about my offering. Once everybody finished, everybody went to the camp fire except for me and Annabeth. I went to the beach and when I got there, Annabeth was already there.
"Hey Annabeth" I said
"Sup Perce" She said
"What happened while I was gone?" I asked
Nothing that big like a big war but camp basically the same since you left" Annabeth said
"Wise Girl?" I asked
"Yes, Seaweed Brain?" She asked
"TAG!" I screamed and I darted away from her. She laughed and began chasing me. We were acting like little kids. She caught up to me and caught me and said 'tag' and I had to chase her back. By the end of it all, we were both tired and laughing so we crashed down on the sand still laughing.
"We should go" I said
"Yep" She said
"Oh No! The harpies are already here! I'll flash you to your cabin" I said
She hugged me and I flashed her to her cabin.
"Thanks, for a fun night Percy" Annabeth said
"No, Problem, we should do this more often" I said
"Of course! Good night Percy" Annabeth said
"Good Night" I said and flashed out and flashed to Artemis' palace
ARTEMIS POV
I was worried since I didn't see him at the camp fire. Annabeth wasn't there also! NO! NO! NO! I ran around trying to find Percy but I couldn't until I heard laughing from the beach. I went there and masked my presence. I hid behind a tree. I saw them laughing and talking and chasing each other. Then I saw Annabeth jump into his arms! WHAT?! But I knew he was only flashing her to her cabin.
3 words to explain how I felt right now.
I. WAS. JEALOUS!
Percy and I never have as much fun as Annabeth and Percy and I just didn't like that. They could connect in a level that we weren't there at yet. They could be friends. They could trust each other. They knew each other. They knew each other inside and out. I HATE THIS! I WANT me and Percy to connect like how Annabeth and him connect but still be a couple and be happy. I am confused! I don't know how to act around hm. I love him but I just don't know how to not hurt his feelings. *sigh* I have to ask Aphrodite for help...this isn't going to be good.
Do I really have to ask help from Aphrodite? Maybe I can ask Eros instead so that I don't have to see Aphrodite. I flashed to my palace and made an offering to Eros asking if I could see him.
He appeared with wings. He looked very handsome (duh...he is the son of Aphrodite or the primordal of love) He appeared TOPLESS and with some faded jeans.
"Hey babe" He said
"Don't call me that and put on a shirt" I said
"No thanks, babe" He said
"Put on a shirt and don't call me babe!" I said through clenched teeth.
"Anyways, BABE, Why do you need to talk to me?" He asked
"Ugh! I called you here because I need help with my relationship" I said
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! ARTEMIS THE GODDESS OF MAIDENS AND THE MOST COMMITTED ON IN FACT HAS A BOYFRIEND?!" He said mocking surprise
"Ha-Ha very funny" I said sarcastically
"What do you need advice on anyway?" He asked
"My fiance and I can never connect on levels I would want us to be at. When I saw him hanging out with his best friend who is also his ex-girlfriend, they had fun and they laughed and they knew each other inside out. They could relate to things" I said in 1 breathe
"Babe, you just need to talk to him and get to know him better and he has to know you better too. You have to have something to talk about so it won't be an awkward silence. You need to make some sacrifices. You have to do things he likes even though he might not like it. He may have to do things that you might not like too." Eros said casually
" Thanks for the advice" I said
"No, problem, BABE" HE said
I don't know what came over me but I went over to him and hugged him when he was topless and I kissed him on the cheek. I was in that hug for who knows how long but I was until, I was interrupted by a oh so familiar voice.
"A-artemis?" He asked heartbroken
"Percy, I can explain" I said desperately
"Y-you don't have to say anything" He said shaking his head ran out of my palace
After I got over my shock, I ran after him. I ran and ran after his running figure. He was at the edge of Olympus now.
"Percy, let me explain" I pleaded
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my promise" He said
He opened his wings and flew off Olympus leaving me there crying that the man I love got the wrong idea and now he may never talk to me.
PRETTY GOOD PLACE TO END THIS BUT SINCE I'M IN A GOOD MOOD RIGHT NOW...I'LL WRITE MORE.
PERCY POV
How could she? Were the first thoughts that came into my mind once I saw her at her palace. I just came back after four insanely long years to find out she is hugging EROS when he is topless?! The she kisses him on the cheek?! W.T.F. Then when she wanted to EXPLAIN?! That made me mad! How could she do that and still enough courage to come to me and explain! NO! NO! I'm in my favorite place in the world crying my eyes out to Hestia. Yeah, you heard me Hestia. I can't believe her! Thunder rumbled in the distance and I know that there is a council meeting to attend to! Great! I have to see Artemis! Yipee! NOTE THE SARCASM! Once everybody flashed in. Hestia went to the hearth and I followed her. She put a comforting arm on my shoulder making me feel there is hope. That everything can be fixed that she didn't do these things but I know that it is false. She DID break my heart! She broke it so many times! I'm tired of her games! I'm tired of having my heart broken. I'm sick and tired of it! I'm done! I'm done!
"Percy" Zeus thundered
"Yes?" I asked from my spot
"Can you please become the guardian of the hunt so that I know that my little girl is safe?" He asked
"What?!" I screamed
"Will you become the guardian of the hunt?" He asked
I looked over at Artemis and saw that her silver eyes lost all of their brightness and were bloodshot-red. She also had bags under her eyes. She did have hope in her eyes that I might say yes...AS IF I WOULD! I don't want anything to do with her. I saw her face were stained with tears and her hair was messy. Simply, she just looked terrible.
"Um, I don't think I wi-" I started but Hestia put a hand on my shoulder
"Please, accept this, you won't regret this later on Percy please. If not do it for me" Hestia said with so much hope that I just couldn't say no
"Fine, I'll be the guardian of the hunt." I said in a depressing tone
"COUNCIL DISMISSED" Zeus said and flashed out
Where are you guys camping? I asked Artemis in her head
She looked surprised that I would talk to her but she replied
"They're actually at camp but let me explain please" She said looking at me with big silver eyes
I just flashed out of the throne room not wanting to answer her question. I told Hestia that I will try to visit every single day and then I flashed to camp. I knocked on the Artemis cabin and all of them were there.
"Yeah, I'm going to be your guardian again" I said
"Okay, Do you know when we're leaving?" Thalia asked
"Nope" I said and left not wanting to see Artemis if I stay there any longer
I went to the Athena cabin and asked for Annabeth.
"Sup Perce" She said with a smile on her face
"Hey Wise Girl" I said
"Seaweed Brain" She said
"What's with the big smile?" I asked
"Happy to see my best friend" She said in a 'duh' tone
"Do you want to go swimming?" I asked
"As friends?" She asked
"Nope, as a date" I said (SORRY JUST HAD TOO! IT WILL BE PERTEMIS UNLESS YOU GUYS WANT PERCABETH!)
"Of course Seaweed Brain" She said
"Okay how about you go change and meet me at the beach in ten minutes?" I asked
"Okay see you then" She said
OMG! TODAY IS JULY 13TH! HER BIRTHDAY! I flashed myself to put on swimming trunks and made a necklace that said ' Wise Girl' on it
Once she was at the beach I asked
"Annabeth?"
"Hmm?" She asked
"Happy Birthday" I said and gave her the necklace
She took it and looked at it.
"It's beautiful! Can you put it on?" She asked
I put on the necklace for her and I kissed her full on the lips. She instantly responded. I felt a spark like I always have when I kissed her.
PERCABETH OR PERTEMIS
YOUR DESCISION
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANNABETH
SIGNING OUT
