Percy POV

"Where is he Chiron? Where is he?" I watched from the shadows of Big House as Artemis and her hunt searched around the camp for me.

"I don't understand. Why do you want Tyler so badly? Has he wronged you in anyway?" Chiron asked confused.

"He wronged me by living!" Artemis roared. "Hunters! Spread out! Look through the forest, the camp, the beach!" The hunters nodded and dashed off in every direction.

"Lady Artemis, I'm sure whatever problem Tyler and you have we can resolve peacefully!" Chiron said as Artemis raged through the camp.

"His name is not Tyler Chiron." Artemis growled. Chiron paused with a confused expression as he stared at Artemis. "What do you mean?"

"I mean," Artemis growled. "That his real name is Percy." Chiron gasped.

"That boy is the slave to your hunt? I have seen the amount of scars and bruises on the boy. I cannot allow you to harm this boy when he has done nothing wrong. He does not deserve the life you have given him. Let him stay at camp."

Artemis shook her head. "No Chiron, he may have a hard life but he is my… son." Artemis choked out. "I cannot allow you to keep him here, he needs to stay in the hunt."

Chiron frowned, "So this is how you treat your son? I understand men have wronged you and your hunters but this is no way to treat a boy who has done nothing. I have heard stories about him throughout these centuries and I understand that you have mistreated the boy when he has done nothing in return."

Artemis glared at the centaur. "Shut it, he has done many things to wrong me. The biggest one is being born a boy! The vile embodiments of every trait a male has. I provided him a home, food, water. That is more than enough!"

I heard rustling from behind me and cautiously unsheathed my knife. Luke suddenly burst from the bushes carrying a pendant. "Percy," he hissed. "Use this to get away!" He threw the pendant into my waiting hands as I stared at him in disbelief.

"How is a piece of jewelry supposed to help me get away?" I questioned. Luke sighed.

"Press the jewel in the middle and it teleports you to a specific location."

I nodded and was about to press it when I was knocked into the ground. "You caused enough trouble for me boy! I knew someone was eavesdropping on my conversation!" A voice hissed in my ear.

I was dragged by the back of my neck to the middle of the camp where I was thrown down.

"What do you want with me Artemis?" I spat.

"I want to bring you away. I don't want you corrupting young women and using them for your own uses. Who knows what's goes inside the head of a male? I suppose it's just to screw with women for your own personal gain. In the end you just throw them away not caring for them at all." Artemis sneered. "Did you really think that using the mist to cover your identity at the council meeting would hide yourself from me? I am a goddess, the mist does not work on me.

I struggled to my feet and glared at her with silver flames as eyes, "You say that men use women, lie to them, abuse them but that's exactly what you did to me!" I spat. "You used me as your personal entertainment! I hate you!" I screamed. Artemis's eyes narrowed and she punched me in the gut making me collapse on the ground. A crowd began to gather around us. Campers stared at me sadly while the hunters stared at me in disgust.

I could feel liquid building up in my throat. I spit it out, finding out that it was blood. "This is what I mean. You enjoy this don't you? Abusing your own son? What do you want from me? I gave up trying to please you when I was two! Two Artemis! You would expect a kid two years old to love his or her mother but instead when I was two the most affection I got from you is you giving me partial immortality but that was to just abuse me as long as you wanted!"

Artemis's eyes blazed in fury and she began to launch punches at me. "Stop, stop!" a voice yelled out. Artemis froze as Annabeth squeezed her way in between us, holding up her hands protectively in front of me. "Don't hurt my friend!"

Artemis stared sadly at her. "Please move out of the way. You do not know the crimes he committed." Suddenly more campers began to step in between us.

"Oh and what are these crimes? Arrive too late with dinner? Accidently broke an arrow while sharpening them? Or was it just being born a male?" Annabeth asked. "I bet he was already too scared of your hunt to commit any crimes."

I noticed that some of the hunters began to look uneasily at Annabeth, probably feeling guilty but it was too late. I staggered to my feet and glared at Artemis. "You will regret this Artemis, you will regret all the days when you used me. I should have known ever since I was born that I could never make you happy. That instead I should have ran away when I was first able to."

I pressed the jewel in the middle in the pendant and disappeared in a flash of light.

Artemis POV

Hearing Percy say those words sent a chill up my spine. I saw the amount of hatred in his eyes. "You say he is like the other males in the world? Maybe you could of changed that but instead you caused him to turn that way." A blond twelve year old said bitterly.

"C'mon Annabeth, let's leave these man-haters. They obviously have no feelings what so ever." The blond boy said. He sent a glare toward me as he led the girl away.

"Milady?" Zoe asked uncertainly from my side.

"Go, pack everything. We are going to search for him." I ordered.

"Milady don't let his words get to you, he is just a male after all," Zoe said but I could see the uncertainty she held in her eyes. "Besides what can he possibly do to harm you? He would have to go up against the entire hunt and if he even hurts you the gods of Olympus would go against him."

I slowly nodded, "Yes… him disappearing does not make a huge difference. What could one male possibly do against the might of Olympus?"

Line Break

"Yea, apparently we got a son of Poseidon that showed up at camp last week. I guess that makes him your uncle?"

I groaned and slumped down in my chair. "Luke, don't remind me about how messed up our family is. I would just rather call him a son of Poseidon."

Luke chuckled. "Kronos wanted to make to get the boy onto our side and if he refuses, make it look like he stole the bolt and died." I nodded.

"Yes… that could work but it must be planned carefully. The gods are keeping a careful eye at the camp to find the thief so you must find a way to do it inconspicuously. And besides, im pretty sure Zeus is already convinced that the boy stole it. It just has to be more convincing. It would have to seem like he had it the entire time."

Luke frowned, "I suppose we can use Ares…"

I scowled, "I don't like him. He is too impulsive, too rash. He might accidently give us away."

"But Ares has the bolt and helm. If I'm correct, no one would suspect Ares since it is against the ancient laws for one god to steal another god's symbol of power." Luke pointed out.

"I still don't like him, what stops him from giving us away? We both know he spends every day screwing around with Aphrodite. If Kronos's sends him a dream message, Ares could mumble in his sleep revealing us and causing Aphrodite to run up to Zeus and tell him that we were the thieves."

Luke groaned, "Do you always have to make things difficult?" He whined.

"I am just being careful. I do not want us to be discovered by any of the gods. Besides we could also recruit the minor goddesses to our side too while the gods are distracted by Zeus's missing bolt."

Luke raised an eyebrow, "How do you plan to do that?"

"In all the years I have been alive, I noticed that the minor gods and goddesses never received any respect. The gods mostly used them for their own uses. Have you seen any cabins for the minor gods or goddesses at Camp? If you can find any son or daughter of a minor god or goddess from Camp and convince them to join our side we would have an easier chance of recruiting the minor gods and goddesses. We can promise them an era where they would be respected by all. The gods and goddesses who made it so all were respected."

Luke smiled, "I like the way you think Perce. I wouldn't know what to do without you at my side. You are already gathering an army of monsters and I'm recruiting half-bloods. Soon we will have a giant army to launch against Olympus."

"Well I couldn't of done this without you Luke," I replied Luke smiled before observing the scenery behind me. "You know… the last time I iris-messaged you, you didn't have a fancy place like this. As I recall you were in an alley. You seemed exhausted and tired.

I smirked and pushed my chair away from the iris message. "You like? I managed to gather a large group of monsters and captured this cruise ship. I didn't just choose any cruise ship though. I found a cruise ship with a very interesting name."

Luke raised an eyebrow, "Oh, and may I ask what it's called?"

"Princess Andromeda." I replied. "A fitting name I believe. You see the original Perseus, a son of Zeus rescued a princess named Andromeda from the Kraken. From there Perseus and Andromeda had a happy life. I found it fitting seeing how I am going to use the Princess Andromeda to lead us into a better age. A golden age where the gods are no longer in control."

Luke smirked, "And perhaps you might even find a girl along the way eh?" I raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

"We both know that if I got any girl she would end up somehow in your arms, look at me? I am not attractive. I am not handsome. The hunters made sure of that with all of these scars that lay on my body."

Luke stared at me disapprovingly, "Percy, I told you tons of times. Those scars just prove you been through tons of troubles. More than anyone else. They don't make you any less of a person."

"Really Luke?" I yanked my sleeve up to show him my bicep. There was a tattoo of a moon with a wolf howling at it. "I got this to show that I was the hunt's property. That I was their relief from pain, their personal enjoyment. They got a brand of iron, heated it, and pressed it into my skin while it was still hot. It is burned into my skin Luke."

Luke frowned, "Remember what I said when you first came into camp? That we would take down Artemis first. I intend to keep that promise. You shall have your revenge but you must be patient."

I growled but stiffly nodded. "That moment better come soon.

Luke smirked, "Trust me my friend. That moment will be here before you know it."

A/N what did you think of that chapter? I hope it wasn't poorly written. I got a few complaints on my last chapter so I tried to make up for it with this chapter. If you see any mistakes please tell me in your reviews below. Anyways when I searched up Percy and Artemis love fanfics earlier I noticed my story was the first result to show up! You know the Love of Artemis. I am so thankful to all of you who helped me get that fanfic as popular as it is now. I hope this fanfic turns out better than that one though since that story is pretty cliché and I am very pleased with its result so far. You guys are the best!
