Hello readers I am back.

Just like to say sorry about the wait. I was a little stuck on this story and I have had a busy week as I have just GRADUATED! YAY! Haha but seriously I miss school.

Anyway Thanks for the reviews and hope you enjoy.

I in no way own PJatO or HoO

Artemis watched the camp carefully, she could feel something different about the camp but she just couldn't place it. sure there were close to maybe two attacks a day which could account for the weird feeling the goddess felt whenever she was around camp.

The goddess stepped away from the tree and entered the hum drum life of camp; people rushed as they readied their bows and sharpened their arrows. Artemis smiled at her hunter's readiness.

They were truly the best of the best.

Huntresses raced around the camp as they took up different jobs, some cooked and cleaned while others readied their bows and were positioned on look out duty. Artemis could see Thalia and Phoebe standing by a tree, their heads buried in thought as they spoke silent words to each other, their eyes occasionally darting around the camp.

Artemis sighed and walked towards the two, a slight smile on her face. She had caught Hermes and Apollo trying to put Honey in her temple that meant she could beat them up and beating her brother up always gave her a smile.

"What is wrong?" Artemis asked standing behind Phoebe her arms folded across her chest, making her look even more imposing.

Phoebe turned around and smiled slightly, while Thalia simply continued to look around the camp a strange look on her face.

"Nothing Mi lady." Phoebe replied looking at the goddess' tent from the corner of her eye. It took the goddess a while to figure out what she was trying to communicate. She almost laughed when she realised what they meant but the look on Thalia's face made her uneasy.

She looked at her tent and then back at the two girls, with a quick movement of her head the two girls walked into the tent, the goddess following them.

As soon as they reached the inside of the tent and after the three looked around for any sign of someone listening in as soon as the goddess was satisfied they sat down. They knew their place with the goddess and waited for her to speak first, she was their leader after all and in situations like this it was important that rules such as this were followed.

"Okay, so what is wrong?" she asked her eyes piercing her half sister. Thalia looked back with eyes that screamed anger and confusion.

"We think that one of the new recruits is summoning the monsters into camp." Thalia spoke, her words like ice as she looked down into her hands.

It was most likely true; they had taken in three new recruits in the past month right around the time that the monsters started attacking their camp.

Artemis thought about this for a while her hand to her chin; the two girls watched their leader carefully.

"Who do you think?" she asked, Thalia shrugged her shoulders, but Phoebe's eyes lit up.

Artemis turned to her and nodded her head.

Phoebe looked uncertainly at Thalia before looking back at the goddess. "I think it is Kim." Thalia looked at Phoebe her cheeks bright red.

"I'm telling you it is not her." She growled. Artemis had not been at the camp long but she knew about the bond that Thalia and Kim both had.

"How do you know?" Artemis asked. Thalia turned to face the goddess a snarl on her face.

"Because I just do." She said before standing up and storming out of the tent, the tent door flapping as she hurried out.

Artemis turned to Phoebe a confused look on her face. "Sorry about Thalia Mi lady." Phoebe said a concerned look on her face.

Artemis shook the look away and sat still for a while. "I want you to keep an eye on the new Recruits, especially Kim. I believe it may be her but I have no proof." She said her eyes off in the distance.

"Can't you read her mind?" Phoebe asked an eye brow raised.

Artemis shook her head slightly. "No I can't read any minds, especially not with all the chaos going on recently." Artemis confessed a feeling of weakness coming over her.

"Why not? I mean you can usually do that can't you?" Phoebe asked her legs crossed over as she held her wounded arm in a sling.

"Yes I can, I'm not sure why. I think it is because of Gaea." Artemis confessed her eyes staring at the floor in front of her as if it may swallow her up.

Phoebe sat in silence for a while allowing the goddess' words to sink in.

In the distance a conch horn sounded, both of their heads shot up at the noise as they both reached instinctively for their bows. Artemis looked at Phoebe and shook her head quickly.

"You have fought enough already" Artemis motioned to the girls arm and the side of her face which was covered in scratches.

"But Mi lady?" Phoebe started standing off the ground.

Artemis shook her head. "Go to the river and collect the girls bathing."

Phoebe looked as if she was going to argue some more but the goddess had already raced out of the tent and into the battle.

Percy sat on the couch, his head leaning back against the headrest as he threw the ball into the air and caught it, again and again.

"I always thought this would be more fun." He stated closing his eyes for a moment.

He was whisked away through his mind as he watched two people fighting, he recognised one of them immediately and smirked well after the feeling of 'What in Hades name is going on?' left him.

Her hair flung around her face as she tried to spear him, he simply jumped out of the way a smile on his face. It was strange seeing these two again they hadn't changed since he was at camp which he was surprised they still were.

Well until he saw the group of kids surrounding them, their ages varying the only common symbol was the bright orange shirt.

He watched as Clarisse fained to the right before charging to Chris' left it was amazing how fast they moved.

Percy could feel what they were going to do next and it thrilled him. Adrenaline surged through his veins as Chris blocked Clarisse's attack only to have him lying in the dirt not a second after.

Percy watched as Clarisse pulled out her hand to help him up her mouth opened as if she was speaking but the only noise out of her mouth was like a muffled television.

It hurt his ears to listen to, and then all of a sudden he was in a dark room the sounds of people in the distance talking, screaming and singing. It was like being back at school in the playground, except for the fact that all of the noise was in his head and was giving him one of the biggest headaches him ever had.

Percy's head shook as he was brought back into the real world his mind aching as he slowly lifted his head coloured swirls filled his eyes as he looked around the room, he almost jumped off the couch when he saw Hermes casually leaning against the door frame a smirk on his face.

"Have fun?" he asked watching the young man.

"Uh yeah I guess." Percy replied throwing his head into his hands.

"Good." Hermes walked over to the seat opposite Percy and leaned over his arms on his knees. "Listen Percy I need you to do a favour for me." He said his voice straight and clean cut, it made Percy feel uneasy.

"What?" He asked leaning back in the chair.

Hermes smirked a little and leant back. "I need you to deliver a message to Artemis."

Percy looked at the god with a confused expression. "Why?" he asked sceptically, his eyes trying to read the god.

Hermes shrugged and shifted in his seat. "Because I'm not her favourite person at the moment."

Percy scoffed. "What and I am?"

Hermes shrugged. "Come on please."

Percy sighed loudly. "Alright." Hermes face lit up.

"Okay you just need to tell her that Zeus wants her."

"Is that all?"

Hermes looked as if he had been insulted. "Of course that is all."

Percy watched him carefully. "Fine."

Artemis was again sitting in her tent Thalia, Phoebe and Rose.

The tension in the room was thick as Thalia and Phoebe had a glaring competition. Artemis was not sure who was winning. Rose on the other hand was blissfully unaware of the tension, instead her red eyes looked at her light green skin there were cuts all along her skin.

"I'm telling you she is summoning them." Phoebe muttered her teeth gritting together.

"And I'm telling you it is not her." Thalia replied Artemis could feel the electricity in the air, literally.

"How do you know?" Phoebe replied her eyes steely.

Thalia turned away from her and quickly turned back a growl hidden behind her mouth. "Because she was injured, your precious Imogen wasn't."

Phoebe sat back in shock before moving in closer. "Imogen was at the lake and helped me take down two stragglers. What did Kim kill?"

"Too many to count." Thalia countered.

"Girls that is enough!" Artemis shouted her eyes still as she watched the two. Rose looked up for a brief moment before shrugging and cleaning her nails.

"I am tired of your shouting and arguing. Both of you need to calm down." The two looked down into their hands, both with a look of defiance on their faces. "Now Rose how many injured?" Rose looked up and smiled at the goddess before slowly frowning.

"Six Mi lady." Artemis nodded her head slowly.

Footsteps could be heard outside of the tent as each person looked towards the entrance, their eyes entranced.

"Mi lady." Imogen panted her eyes hooded. "Lord Perseus is here."

Artemis looked at the girl for a moment her mind spinning. "Did he say why?"

"He has a message for you." Artemis stared blankly at the tent wall.

"Doesn't Hermes deliver the messages?" Thalia asked confused.

Artemis almost laughed as she realised why the god wasn't fulfilling his duties. "Yeah but I wouldn't expect to see him around her any time soon." Slowly the goddess stood and nodded her head.

"Where is he?" she asked as her eyes scanned the broken camp site, hunters were already clearing the destruction.

Imogen looked around for a moment before a smile came to her lips.

"He is probably still in the lake mi lady." She replied racing out of the camp grounds, it was not hard to see that she was a daughter of Hermes; Artemis often thought the girl could out run the great Atlanta.

Artemis frowned at the girl and followed her legs trying to keep up with the younger girl's long legs. They raced past hunters who were in the middle of clearing out the camp and healing the injured.

They ran to the lake were a man stood, his black hair covering his face as he stood in the dripping lake his eyes darting to the girls that surrounded him, their weapons pointed at him.

"I'm telling you I have a message for Lady Artemis." He said through gritted teeth.

"Ha!" A girl laughed her spear moving closer to his neck. "That is a likely story. Boy."

She could see the irritation in Percy's eyes and she watched him carefully as the anger in his eyes disappeared with a couple of sharp intakes of breath.

"Listen I am not going to hurt Artemis or your camp. I just want to tell here this message then I can go back." He said stepping back from the spear, it wouldn't kill him but he did not like the feeling of having a spear to his throat.

"Hermes delivers messages. And you are no Hermes." Another girl said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Percy looked at her and smiled slightly. "Let me guess Daughter of Athena?" he questioned his eyes sparkled.

"Grand daughter. Actually." She said her mouth pulled into a tight smile.

Percy paused for a moment and looked down a line of trees were the goddess stood an amused grin on her face.

"Welcome. Boy." She said strolling out towards him, she caught herself from blushing like a fool when he smiled at her.

He stood straight his hands behind his back in a standard military position. She could tell he had just come back from lessons with Ares. "Mi lady, you have an urgent assembly notice from Zeus."

Artemis stood with her arms crossed and her hips out.

"Where is Hermes?" She asked she watched the confusion pull at his face.

"He is preoccupied at the moment. Mi Lady." Percy finished off with a sideways glance at a girl.

"Hm." She contemplated for a moment before shrugging it off with a smile. "Did father say what he wanted?" she asked.

Percy looked blank for a moment before shrugging. "I got the message from Hermes."

Artemis smirked momentarily and nodded her head. "Tell him I will be there in a moment."

Percy looked shocked for a moment. "Uh Zeus and I don't get along and he isn't suppose to know about me giving you this message." He said his hand behind his neck as he looked down into the water.

Artemis groaned loudly. "Fine." She looked back at the girls who had surrounded her and her eyes looked towards Imogen, whose eyes were abnormally large.

"Go to Thalia, Phoebe and Rose, tell them to head to Camp." She turned back for a moment before realising something. "Oh and tell Phoebe and Thalia not to tear out each other's throats."

With that she turned towards Percy who was staring at the girl behind the goddess. "Lets go, water boy." she grabbed his hand and with a flash of light the two were gone.

"He is quite handsome isn't he." A girl said filling her water bottle up.

"Nah not my type." Said another.

Imogen stood frozen for a moment her eyes wide. Everyone seemed to be forgetting something that seemed so important to the girl. "Did she just hold his hand?"

All of the girls paused for a moment looking at the spot they had disappeared from.

The two stood in front of Zeus as he spoke his eyes both menacing and anxious.

"Daughter I want your hunters to stay at camp until the troubles are over." Zeus commanded as he looked at his daughter.

"What?!" Artemis exploded her eyes wide with fury and anger. Percy wanted to jump ship and get out of there as fast as he could.

"You heard it is not safe for them, or you."

Artemis glared up at her father with anger. "I am the best hunter you have, I have defeated multiple threats to Olympus, I have fought in battles, and I can handle more."

Zeus looked at his daughter with a frown, she did not want to mention anything in front of the boy, and neither did his daughter. He had enough stress and worry.

"That is final." He lifted himself from the chair. Percy looked at the defeat in the goddess's eyes and felt like he was about to crumble, it was like someone calling Aphrodite 'fat' or 'ugly' it shouldn't be done.

"Zeus." Percy called stepping forth. Zeus turned to the boy and stared at him. "I offer my assistance in whatever the goddess needs." He kneeled down at the god who fought a smile when he saw the look on his daughters face.

Her eyes widened as she glared at him, she felt as if she had called her 'lazy' or 'unfit to run the hunt.'

"No. That is not acceptable." She cried guilt flooded through her as Percy looked up at her.

Zeus froze for a moment and watched the two.

"I can help you." Percy said his eyes swirling like a volcano of anger.

"No. You can't." She replied stepping towards him.

A cruel laughter escaped his mouth. "What? Am I not worthy?"

"No you are not worthy." She replied glaring at him.

"Sadly it is not your decision to make." He said with a sly smirk, before looking up at Zeus.

"My lord?" Zeus smirked at the boy.

"I accept your proposal on behalf of my daughter."

Artemis nearly exploded. "What?!"

Zeus looked at her with a smile. "But Perseus you will only be there for three days a week." Percy looked up confused. "That will be left to my daughter to decide."

Percy looked at Artemis. "I have some days in mind?" she said with a smirk. "Never." A mischievous smile crossed her lips.

"Wow and how are you not the goddess of humour." He muttered sadly it was louder than he expected.

Next thing he knew Percy was on the ground Artemis straddling him as her fist laid only centimetres from his face.

"Say that again. Boy." Percy gulped visibly and Artemis smiled down at him with a concerning look.

Zeus smirked at the two. "Perfect. Percy, you start tomorrow."
