Artemis Point of View

The plan was simple. Bring back Percy, force him to bow to me and bring the world back to what it once used to be. But obviously, my uncle had to come in a ruin things. I had everything under control! I'm sure if Hades had not come, Zoe wouldn't have came either. But now, the foolish male is totally out of commision and Zoe is probably killing everyone in my camp. But while I was chasing Thalia in the precipitous forest, curse her for covering her tracks so well. Something that Zoe had said was really bothering me,

"You see. Percy is already here. Waiting for the right moment. And if Artemis were to be in any type of pain, Percy would still come. But only to kill Artemis with his own hands"

I kept hearing it in my head over and over, Percy was already on the overworld? How did he escape tartarus? Why hasn't he made his move yet? Well, I suppose Zoe taking over my camp was his move… Screw Hades. He had to come in and ruin everything! Then there was the matter of meeting Zoe… How had she escaped the underworld? With Percy's help, no doubt, but why would she want to leave? Wasn't she in elysium? So many questions, so little time. Thalia was one of my best hunters, Orion's skills are known to be even stronger than mine. I had to run faster.

I came into an open clearing, surrounded by green trees and a small lake in the middle. Hearing voices, I hoped it wasn't too late. Orion liked to play with his prey, so he must have tired Thalia up and wanted to talk. When I finally peeked my head towards the voices, Thalia was sitting on a rock holding a silver dagger. Sitting down on top of the water was black haired man with.. well, I couldn't tell the color of his eyes. They kept on changing color. But the man was wearing an orange Camp Half Blood shirt. It was Percy.

Third Person Point of View

Artemis hid behind the three, listening to the two cousins talk. Her heart was beating, she knew that Percy could sense her, being soul bound and all. (A/N: Don't worry about now understanding the soul bound thingy. I go much further into detail about it in a few chapters) But he did not react.

"I don't know what you want me to say, Thalia." Percy said, looking down at the bottom of the pond.

"How about you tell me why you left? If you had stayed nothing would have changed. Manhattan would still be here, Camp Half Blood would too!" Thalia replied, clearly not knowing that Percy was sent away by force.

"That's not important"

"Yes it is. Percy, if you want me to trust you, you have to tell me everything"

"Thalia," Percy looked up from the lake, into Thalia's eyes, "Some secrets are meant to stay secrets."

"Then I can't help you."

Percy sighed, he knew that convincing Thalia to join him would be hard, but he was hoping it wouldn't be that hard. "Fine, don't take my word for it then. Take your Lady's." He paused for a few moments, "Artemis, come out."

Artemis did not come out. She was hoping he did not truly know that she was there and was simply bluffing. Clearly, he wasn't. With another sigh, he waved his hand in Artemis's direction, Artemis then came walking into the direction. She clearly did not know what was happening, as she was not controlling her body. She sat down on a rock near Thalia.

"What do you need her for anyway" Artemis spat, hoping the Percy wouldn't hurt her. Clearly the soul bound wasn't working.

"A war is coming, every day an enemy army is growing stronger. My scouts are trying their best to slow them down. But the world is only so small, and soon they will reach us."

"So why do you need us? Clearly you're far more powerful" Thalia asked

"Because you can't win. Because you're scared and you need someone else to tell you what to do." Artemis said, standing up, and pulling Thalia up with her. Percy clenched his jaw and looked down. "You're not here to get revenge! You're here to ask for help!"

Artemis, getting confident by what she was saying, got cut off by Percy, "I said I need Thalia's help. Not yours." Percy was still unmoved from his position, floating on top of the small lake.

"Why?" Thalia asked. Thalia thought that there were far more powerful people the Percy could ask, for example, Artemis.

"Because the leader of those armies… He's… Well, last time we fought, things did not go the way I had planned. You two don't understand, they want go get rid of everything Greek. They won't spare the gods, they won't spare the hunters. Your best bet is to help me."

Artemis got interested at this comment, someone who outsmarted Percy? Clearly this person was very powerful. Maybe Artemis could find him and have a chat. "Who is this person?" she asked.

"Well, his name is Jason Grace." Percy said, looking at Thalia.

Artemis had never seen Thalia have such a surprised expression, "My brother is dead!" Thalia shouted. With this she stormed away out of the clearing.

Artemis was about to chase her when Percy interrupted her, "Wait." It was a simple command with no magic used, Artemis could've ignored it.

She should've ignored it.

Clair Point of View

"Who's Percy?'' I asked. I had heard Thal's say that name in her sleep sometimes but when I asked her about it, she never knew.

"Percy… well I guess you'll have to meet him to find out who he is, right?" Zoe replied to my question. It sounded like she was making fun of me.

"Are you making fun of me?" I asked.

"Of course not, are you not my lieutenant?" She replied, leading Clair out of the tent. "Clair, I want you to promise me something." She said, looking into the rising moon.

"What?" I asked.

"I need you to promise that you'll never let anything happen to your sisters." She said. The laughter in her voice was now gone.

"What do you mean?" I was really confused at this point. I grabbed her hand because she was starting to scare me.

"Don't do what I did. No matter what stick with the hunt. Lots of weird things are going to happen in the next few weeks. You will lose some sisters. But you will need to move on and help protect everyone else."

"I still don't know what you mean?" I asked

"You will eventually"
