Hahahaha! So I'm guessing you're all over his escapes. Well I had initially been planning for this chapter to be the one where he had been caught and FINALLY changed into a god, but because I am a stubborn and cruel child I was actually thinking of changing it to him escaping. AGAIN!
But then I was like nah I'm over it.
So thank you all for the reviews, hope you enjoy the chapter.
Okay this is really annoying me but I am AUSTRALIAN so I spell things differently, if I get one more person telling me I should spell things the AMERICAN way I will not post on the story for TWO WEEKS, because it is really annoying.
I was born and raised this way and I'm not changing, when I read FanFic I don't tell the author to change their spelling Do you want to know why? Because I respect the fact it is their language so I ask that you do the same for me otherwise read another story.
PLEASE NOTE THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO THE ANNONYMUS REVIWER J. As normally I don't talk like that but I was watching this show and they said so I wrote it in.
I in no way Own PJatO or HoO
Percy stood still as the crowds moved around him, for a few moments he thought he was going to faint.
"You wouldn't want to forget about seeing me and just well you know, leave without me." Artemis looked at him like she was thinking about turning him into a Jackalope which coincidently she was thinking about it.
"I'll take that as a no then." Percy mumbled.
"Good work you are learning." Artemis joked as she grabbed his arm, she jolted slightly at the contact but tried not to show it on her face, and Percy on the other hand wasn't as subtle his eyes widened in shock.
Percy was pushed back as he felt a tug on his other arm. Confused he groaned and faced the other arm.
"There you are Percy." Thalia grumbled pulling on his arm even more. "Wait until Artemis gets you. You are so busted." She laughed.
"Bit late there Thals." Percy replied rolling his eyes. She looked up at him confused.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
Percy nodded his head to the side and tried to move as much of his body so that she could see the goddess. Recognition hit her face and she laughed at herself, Percy smiled and started to laugh as well, until Thalia hit him on the side of the head.
"It's not that funny seaweed brain." She scolded.
Percy groaned and frowned at the huntress. Artemis just watched the two in curiosity. She was not sure what just happened, she tugged on his arm bringing their attention towards her.
"Thalia, gather the rest of the huntress-"
"Percy what is going on?" Kim wandered up behind the goddess who scowled.
"Ah Kim this is Lady Artemis, Lady Artemis, Kim." Percy introduced the two calmly before frowning, Artemis smiled at the girl.
"Kim, how old are you?" Her voice was sugary sweet as if talking to a little girl, not a boy but a girl.
"Uh fifteen." She muttered never meeting the goddess's eyes.
"How would you like to join my hunters?" Percy thought Kim was going to faint then and there.
"The wh-what?" Her hand gripped onto the chair that was behind her as she supported herself.
"The hunt. It's great, we live forever and it is so much fun, all you have to do is swear off boys." Thalia butted in her face bright with excitement.
"Uh." Kim looked at Percy and frowned. "O-okay."
Percy thought he should have said something like 'no go to camp its better'. But he figured that she would eventually join and him saying that would only make Artemis angry and that wasn't good if you were currently in company with said goddess.
"Brilliant, Thalia take Kim and the rest of the huntresses back to camp." Thalia nodded her head and turned to Percy. "And you are coming with me, my father wants a word."
Percy paled visibly and looked at Thalia. 'Help me.' he mouthed Thalia laughed at the boy before grabbing Kim's hand and shoving through the crowd.
"Shut your eyes." Artemis ordered. Percy obliged forcing his eyes shut and moved his face away from the goddess.
Artemis frowned as she tugged the boy towards the throne room. She walked slowly into the empty room.
"Ah well, no one's here looks like you'll just have to take me back to New York and leave me alone." He sighed raising his shoulders and looking off into the distance with a look of fake displeasure.
Artemis resisted the urge to smile and instead rolled her eyes. "Nice try boy." she walked towards a column located in the corner, materialising handcuffs she cuffed him to the pole. Percy looked at them with a slight smile that Artemis caught. "If you think you can escape that, and then think again. Hephaestus made them, they are unbreakable and inescapable."
With that she was out of the room. And Percy knew it was only a matter of time.
"Maybe we could talk about it?" Percy pleaded as he tried to move away from the pole.
Artemis laughed. "Yeah like that's going to happen." She walked out of the room slowly gathering all of the Olympians.
"Well this is boring." Percy deadpanned as he stood by the pole kicking it, he tried to move but with every pull or tug the chain wrapped around the pole would grow shorter and shorter. Finally he gave up, panting as he collapsed against the pole.
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here?" Percy flinched at the voice and subconsciously went to move away, until he remembered that his hand was tied to a freaking pole.
Percy looked up towards Aphrodite with a slight smile. "Ah Aphrodite long time no see." Percy replied.
Aphrodite smirked at the man. "Looks like you can't escape this one."
"Heard that one before." Percy muttered to himself as he played with his hands.
He heard the snort that he knew came from the goddess. And before he knew it she was kneeling in front of him, her hand moving strands of his hair out of his eyes. He felt his heart beat faster at the contact.
"You know you really do owe me something." She purred her hand trailing up and down his chest; he hated himself for moving into her hand. An involuntary shiver escaped his muscles hold. Aphrodite took that as a welcome and inched towards him, her lips just millimetres from his.
He smiled at her and chuckled making her eyes shoot open from there dreary gaze. "I'm not interested." He spoke with a rusty voice.
Aphrodite sat back in shock, no one had ever said that to her before. "What?" she asked in disbelief.
Percy laughed again turning his head away from her, checking the door before pulling it back around to her. "I'm. Not. Interested." He repeated his voice loud and clear.
Aphrodite stood shocked, and then her face turned to one of anger and frustration. "I won't give up. I always get what I want." she growled at the man in front of her.
Percy had never heard such anger from the love goddess before so this scared him but he wouldn't let that show on his face. "Well you can't have me." Percy replied with a snarky grin.
She made a move towards him but luckily Percy heard the sound of someone clearing their throat. They both stopped and slowly turned around to face the sound of the voice.
"I see that the rumours are true." Hermes chuckled lounging lazily on his throne.
"What that the charming Percy Jackson is tied to a pole?" Percy replied with an annoyed expression as he tugged on his cuff.
"Well, pretty much, except the whole charming thing wasn't mentioned." Hermes replied, meeting the man's sarcasm.
"I'm sure everyone was thinking it." Percy muttered to himself as he felt the chain shorten. "I'm guessing I can't be un-cuffed?" Percy asked watching the cuffs as if they may tighten their grip and cut his hands off.
"Congratulations for once you are correct." Another voice drawled from the door. Percy looked up at the light voice of Athena. Percy was tempted to ask if he was right about the charming thing or the cuffs, but he figured if he did he would probably end up being blown away.
She walked straight over to her throne as sat down immediately picking up a book her eyes on the odd occasion glancing back at him over the top of the book. Soon everyone joined, his father giving him a worrying glance as he was taken into the circle.
Small thrones for the minor gods were pushed to the side as Percy was dragged into the centre of the small circle, their eyes glued to him as he stared down at the floor.
"Perseus Jackson," Zeus began his voice filled with excitement. "Welcome back."
"It's great to be back." He replied sarcasm laced into his voice.
Zeus smirked at the words but continued. "Unlike our last encounter which was similar to this, you will not be able to eat the ambrosia or the nectar. Instead we are going to have to do this in a more...painful way." Percy noted Dionysus' face pale as his eyes almost bulged from their sockets.
Demeter laid a comforting hand on his shoulder as she whispered soothing words.
"Sorry." Zeus said in a sombre tone as they started to chant.
That was when the pain hit him with the pressure of a tank hitting a balloon. Percy clenched his eyes shut as his body straightened, his feet barely on the ground. His fists in tight fists as he collapsed onto his knees. Tears pooled in his eyes as he fought his conscious.
A mantra playing in his mind as he begged himself not to pass out, his arms slamming into the marble floor as the feeling of ice and fire in his veins intensified. A scream he knew came from him escaped his lips as it echoed in the room.
Then it went black.
I know it is a bit short but I still hope you enjoyed it.
So thank you for reading.
