Thank you all for the ideas you've been giving me. I really do appreciate it. And once again, I apologize for my serious lack of updates. Work is just murder to my time, it's irritating. Thanks again though, and keep your eyes open for updates. Here's the next update. I decided to go with a simple idea for this update since it's been a while since I updated for this story and that it doesn't have to be as much work. This idea is from Red The Pokémon Master.
Zoe
Zoe, sorta goddess of the sunset and the ocean that tends a blissful garden in a far western corner of the world, one of the five known Hesperides, daughter of Atlas and Pleione, played by Phoebe Tonkin.
The night was depressing to say the least. We were traveling through the river to the Hoover Dam. And it was just four of us now. Me, Grover, Thalia, and Zoe. The fifth member of our quest, Bianca, had unfortunately died, giving up her life for the rest of us in Hephaestus' junkyard. I felt terrible about her dying. She was so young and just a little girl. I couldn't help but mostly blame myself for it. After all, I did promise her little brother Nico that I'd look after her and make sure that she came back to camp safe and sound. And by her death, I failed. I wasn't able to keep my promise. I just couldn't help but hate myself for letting Nico and Bianca down like that.
"Beautiful Soul!" Grover sang and played his reed pipes.
And to make this boat ride even more of a living hell, Grover won't stop with his terrible taste in music. I swear, this guy has the worst taste in music ever. I don't know how satyrs are able to live with themselves by liking some of the worst music ever. It's the one-million-dollar question of satyrs that I've been wondering about ever since the "Fractured Hills" level in "Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage". That's always been one of my all-time favorite video games, has been ever since I was only four. I even still play it every once in a while, even though I know the game by heart.
"Uh, Grover, will you please shut up?" I groaned.
"Perce, I told you a little bit of music will calm your nerves." Grover said.
"Well your music is only pissing everyone off. I don't know how you can sing crap like that." I sighed.
"Oh come on Percy. It can't be that bad." Grover argued.
"Percy's right Grove!. You literally have the worst taste in music ever." Thalia threw in.
"Thalia, not you too" Grover complained.
"I'm sorry Grover, . . . well, not really, . . . but it's true. Your music is just honest-to-gods awful." Thalia said.
"Zoe?" Grover went, hoping to get at least a positive response from someone around.
"I'm with Thalia and Percy on this one Satyr. You are terrible and annoying with those reed pipes." Zoe commented.
"Oh, come on baby, don't be like that." Grover flirted.
And there was another problem with Grover that made this boat ride a living hell. Grover was once again trying to flirt with Zoe. I swear, what is it with satyrs and chicks? It's like they can't possibly live without getting some.
"And stop calling me that. I am not interested in you." Zoe argued.
"Seriously Grover, you really need to give that shit a rest. She's a hunter of Artemis, sworn to never fall in love or to feel any romantic attractions to any guy." I said.
"You speak as if you want me away from her." Grover replied in a suspicious tone.
"Honestly, I really hate how you are towards women." I replied.
"I get it Percy. I see how it is, what your motive is." Grover said.
"My motive? What the . . . What . . . What the hell are you talking about?" I asked, being totally lost as to what he's getting at.
"You want her for yourself." Grover said in a knowing tone.
"What?" I asked, not understanding where that came from.
"You want me to back off from her, so you can be with her, don't you?" Grover stated.
"Grover, that's ridiculous. She's nothing but a friend to me." I countered.
"Oh, don't think I know about your game here." Grover said.
"Oh my gods. You're seriously still on that? How many times do I have to tell you this Grover, I'm not trying to prove that I'm a lady's man and you're not." I argued.
"Oh please. It's been like this ever since we met. You always not wanting me to have a woman you have your eyes on." Grover stated.
"Oh for God's sake." I sighed.
"Aw, looks like you're just jealous Grover." Thalia teased.
"Jealous?" Grover asked.
"Yeah, jealous. Jealous that girls find themselves more interested in Percy than they do you." Thalia teased.
"No, I'm not." Grover argued.
"Yes, you are." Thalia countered.
"Well I can't really say I blame them. After all, he is more tolerable and handsome than you." Zoe suddenly threw in.
Everyone just turned their direction towards her after that, all of us completely shocked at what she said, almost as if she suddenly grew another head like a hydra or something.
"Excuse me?" Grover asked.
Zoe just got up from her seat on her side of the boat and came over to sit by me, which shocked everyone even more. And as if I couldn't possibly get any more surprised by what she was doing right now, she wrapped my arm around her waist and wrapped her arms around me.
"Percy's right. I have no interest in any male at all and I am completely faithful to my vow of maidenhood. But if it's a game and a contest you're looking for with him and if you really want a game with him to see which of the two of you I'd rather be around with, then so be it. I choose Percy to be the winner." Zoe said, bringing her cheek against mine, which I couldn't help but blush a tad bit at and feel some heat rise in my head.
"Why him?" Grover asked in disbelief.
"Well for starters, he doesn't go after so many women for his own gain. He actually respects women and in this case, knows there're far more important things to think about than how to impress a woman." Zoe stated.
"He's got nothing over me. I'm the one swimming in daughters of Aphrodite." Grover threw in.
"Sad part about that is that he's being literal about that. Trust me, I know." I said.
"Well, you may have a bunch of shallow bimbos, but you don't have a chance with me at all. Percy on the other hand, well, like you, he doesn't really have a chance either. But despite that, he actually has a better shot than you. At least he doesn't play dirty to impress someone." Zoe said and then kissed my cheek.
If I wasn't shocked enough by the fact that she was so close to me, then I definitely was now. Actually, you know what, fuck being shocked. I was gobsmacked. Grover looked like he wanted to explode just like how he always does when a woman he has his eye on ends up preferring me over him back in school, but Thalia was able to beat him at his chance to snap.
"Okay, you know what everyone. I think we've all had a long day and night. So it's probably about time to rest. So everyone, get some sleep." Thalia said.
We all knew that Thalia wasn't gonna let anyone make any room for arguments with her. So we all just went back to our side of the boat. Luckily it was a pretty big boat that we had found for ourselves. So, we had plenty of space for all of us. And so, I spent the last half an hour trying to get some sleep. But I was still stuck with so much grief about Bianca dying. It seemed the others were somehow able to fall asleep. Or at least it seemed that way until I overheard the sound of teeth chattering. With it being December now and with us being so close to water, there was quite a chill around us. It didn't bother me too much though. Probably though, it's only because I'm the son of Poseidon. I looked over as saw that Zoe was the one chattering her teeth. We didn't have any blankets or pillows with us, so it was just us lying our heads on whatever equipment we had and our clothes. I also had a coat on me. Zoe just had her clothes on, which didn't help her much with the cold air. So, I sighed and got up to head over to her, took off my coat and covered her with it.
"What time is it?" Zoe asked.
"Almost midnight or so." I said as I was about to get up, but Zoe grabbed a hold of my hand before I could.
"What about you?" Zoe asked, referring to being warm for the night.
"I'll be alright. It's no big deal." I said.
"Stay with me. Please." Zoe said.
I just looked at her with a confused look. But she seemed sincere and serious about what she just said, so I guess it couldn't hurt. So, I moved under my jacket. The whole time, Zoe kept her hold on my hand. When I was under the jacket with her, she looked away for a minute, as if she was thinking a lot about something. Something that she wanted to share with me, but just didn't really know how to say what she wanted to say to me.
"Percy, I need to ask you something." Zoe said.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Did you mean what you said?" Zoe asked.
"About what?" I asked.
"Did you mean it when you said you thought of me as a friend?" Zoe asked, finally looking back at me.
"Of course I did. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it." I answered.
"Even with how rough I've been towards you from the very first second I met you?" Zoe asked surprised.
"I don't really like fighting with people, especially people that mean something to me. And besides, as King Arthur says, why have enemies when you can have friends?" I replied.
She just looked at me for a minute, looking like she was taking what I said as best as she could. Then suddenly, she grabbed the collar of my shirt and brought me in for a kiss. I was shocked, shocked that she, a hunter of Artemis would actually bring me in for a kiss. I was even more shocked to find myself responding to her, wrapping my free arm around her to bring her closer to me. That's when things started to heat up a bit, when we turned this kiss into a make out session. Though I don't either one of us knew what we were doing or were thinking at all. Because next thing I knew, eventually we both at the same time started a battle with our tongues. As that battle started, she wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped mine around her waist. We both were trying to bring each other closer to each other. And I eventually rolled us over, so she was on her back and I was on top of her. And the kiss, or whatever it was that we were doing exactly, didn't stop until we needed to breathe. That was when our eyes met again, hazel to sea green. With the way we looked deep into each other, as if we were looking at each other right into our souls, nothing else mattered. The moment we were having seemed to be the only thing that mattered to us.
"Percy?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah?" I responded.
"I want you." Zoe said.
"Zoe, you're not supposed to be romantically attracted to me." I said.
"I'm not attracted to you romantically. I'm attracted to you sexually." Zoe argued, undoing her pants.
"But what about your vow of maidenhood? Won't you be kicked out of the Hunt if we do this?" I asked, still trying to reason with her.
"With how the quest is, it won't really matter." Zoe stated as she then began to undo my pants.
I felt like by the way she said that, that she somehow knew something about the quest that maybe everyone else didn't. But I didn't want to bring that up, especially with how I felt she wasn't even going to tell me if I asked.
"We don't have to do this. You can stop if you want. I don't want to force anything on you or make do something you'll regret later." I tried reasoning again.
"I appreciate your concern Percy, but just stop talking and take me." Zoe demanded, trying to make us one.
I still didn't think this was a good idea, but she wasn't letting no be an answer. So I just slowly slid myself inside her. I kept going until I was completely inside her. She the whole time was moaning and gasping. I went as slow as I thought as I could with moving back and forth in her, still trying to be as gentle and considerate as I could for her. I still really had no idea as to what I was doing or why I was even doing it. I just knew that Zoe brought me here and I couldn't turn away.
"Percy, you can touch me if you want." Zoe said as she slipped her shirt and bra up to above her chest, revealing her boobs to me.
"Um . . . ah . . ." I went, not really knowing how to take this.
"Go ahead Percy, I want you to touch me." Zoe panted as she grabbed my hands and placed them on her boobs.
I started to feel and grope her boobs. They felt so soft and yet so firm at the same time. So this is what women have that they can use to draw men to them with. It was pretty interesting to say the least. They were making me move faster in her. My increase of speed had her moaning and groaning a little louder than before.
"Not so loud Zoe. You'll wake the others." I panted.
"Forget them. My only concern right now is you." Zoe moaned.
I still didn't know where this was all coming from for me, But I replaced my hands with my mouth and moved my hands to grope her ass. Her ass was the same as her boobs, soft yet firm at the same time. Zoe the whole time kept getting louder.
"Yes Percy, yes! Yes! Give it to me!" Zoe moaned.
I just kept going and going, not saying anything. I could feel myself slowly closing in on the edge. My teeth were even starting to chatter now, but not because I was freezing from the cold air like Zoe earlier, especially with how my jacket was still covering us. It was from the pleasure I was feeling. I guess I was also a little nervous as to where this could lead to later on. I honestly wished this would stop, But for some reason, I just couldn't. Zoe was just amazing. She was really tight and beautiful. I couldn't help but feel like a very lucky demigod right now. She was just simply intoxicating. Like her with me, I shouldn't really feel anything for her. But I was one with her right now, and it was a feeling that I just couldn't stop digging into until the end.
"Zoe, I feel it coming." I panted, referring to my orgasm.
That was when I felt like Zoe had suddenly tightened her inner walls around my dick. I gave her a few more powerful thrusts until I felt myself release myself inside her. Zoe and I panted hard and heaved to catch our breaths. I moved out of her and laid on my back right next to her.
"I can't believe that just happened." I panted.
"It was amazing." Zoe panted.
"You do know that you'll most likely be banned from the Hunt now, right?" I asked, turning my head towards her.
"Forget about the Hunt. It's not important. For now, we need to rest. And first thing tomorrow morning, we have a quest to continue." Zoe said.
Zoe then move so she was cuddling with me. I didn't have the energy to do much to change that, and my drowsiness was starting to kick in. So I let it go and passed out. The next morning, we arrived at the Hoover Dam. We got up and went up to the top of the bridge. Along the way, Grover sent a jealous and angered look in my direction. I was only able to assume that he was still iffy about me from our little argument. When we got to the top, we ended up having to get through quite a number of people.
"So Percy, get any sleep last night?" Thalia suddenly asked me.
"Um, yeah, I did." I answered.
"I'll bet." Thalia said, wiggling her eyebrows at me.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Well sex does tend to drain you." Thalia said, freezing me from walking.
"You know?" I asked shocked.
"Grover does to. We weren't really fully asleep when you two did it. Or at least I wasn't. I don't know for sure about Grover. But it doesn't matter." Thalia said simply.
"Oh boy." I sighed to myself.
"A brand new achievement ladies and gentlemen, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, has gotten laid with a hunter of Artemis. Oo, oo." Thalia said, with also bumping her ass at me at the sex sound part.
"Thalia, it isn't funny." I said.
"Aw, come on cuz. Lighten up. I would think that you saw last night that having a little fun never really hurts anyone." Thalia said as she moved in front of me, pressed herself against me and started to rub her ass on me.
"Thalia, seriously?" I asked.
I was just thankful that we were able to get to a part of the dam that no one else was at. Zoe went to get everyone something to eat. And Grover, well, saw another chick he was attracted to and decided to flirt.
"Thalia, why are you even so calm about this? Why aren't you mad or disappointed in me right now?" I asked.
"Firstly, I don't like Zoe. Second, the Hunt is everything to her, so if she gets kicked out because of this, which we both know she most likely will, I'll be overjoyed about it. And thirdly, pissing off Grover has always been pretty funny to me." Thalia explained.
"You're never gonna let me live this down, are you?" I sighed.
"Maybe, maybe not. You never know. It's all fun and games Percy." Thalia said, winking at me and then walking off.
And somehow, Dionysus keeping me at camp and not letting me join this quest didn't seem like a bad idea anymore. The rest of this quest was gonna be rough.
Hope this was good for everyone, and I'd like to take this time to say and ask a few things. Lately, I've been thinking about restarting this story. I think you all can guess why, because of the third update. I wanna take all evidence of it out. Half of me wants to just delete that chapter as well as the author's note after it and have them replaced with other updates, though I don't know how if that'll affect the rest of the story or not. So, I guess my question for that half of me is if I do delete them, would that also delete the reviews for those chapters to, or would the reviews stay? And if a chapter is deleted, would the update after it take its place and the reviews that get deleted be the ones for the recent update? What exactly would happen if I deleted a chapter instead of doing the replace and update option? As for the other half of me, the other half thinks I should just delete the story all together and start fresh. Just so you all know, if I did decide to go with deleting the story all together, it won't be a big deal. Nothing would be lost. Every update that I type for my stories, I always save on my computer. I also always make sure to save them in my flash drive, just in case I ever experience any problems with my computer and I have to work with a different one. So if I delete the story, I'll still have all the chapters for it so I can repost them right away. So, what are your guys' thoughts and says in the matter? My goal is to get the mistake I made out for good. Am I able to completely do that by just deleting the update, or do I have to get rid of the story altogether? Or do some of you think I might better off leaving it how it is? Please in your reviews, answer my questions and concerns so I can make a decision. Because I don't wanna end up making a decision I'll regret later or that ends up being unnecessary.
