Artemis POV

On the outside, I showed no emotion, but on the inside, it was a completely different story. I was feeling a wide range of emotions, including joy and fear. Yes I was happy that the hero had not died because of me, but I was scared about what he would say to me. He must hate us all now, and it was his job to punish us. What would he do? Without another word to anyone, I flash away to Percy's room.

When I saw him, I was shocked! His body had barely improved, with bones sticking out everywhere, but he looked happy. All the other Olympians were crowding around him, and he was casually talking to them. Percy was wearing a black T-shirt with jeans, and they were dry, despite him being in the water. Well I guess that happens when you're a son of Poseidon. When Percy looked around and saw me, he immediately backed away in fear. All of the Olympians saw this.

"What's wrong son?" Poseidon asked, concerned for his son. Instead of answering, Percy just backed away even more, obviously scared of me. I was hurt. Despite it being my fault, Percy hated and was scared of me.

"It was totally your fault, girl," a voice said in my head. Who was it? I don't know. The presence had left my mind straight away.

"Ge-G-Get her away from me father!" Percy stuttered. "Please!" At this, Aphrodite and Hestia stood up, furious.

"See!" Aphrodite yelled. "I told you it was her fault. The boy is scared of her now. Take her away Apollo! We can deal with her after." At this, I saw many gods nod in agreement, murmuring about how I was just a murderer.

"Please just let me talk to him," I begged. "5 minutes only." Percy furiously shook his head in disagreement. No one said yes. Apollo advanced on me, to take me away, but Hestia shouted, "No Apollo, wait!" I turned and looked at her.

"Let her talk to Perseus for a while. IN PRIVATE! Then, everything will be sorted out." This confused me. Why would she let me near her champion?

"Please Lady Hestia," Percy begged. "I don't want to die!" Hestia went and promised Percy that if she hurt him, she would lose her immortality. Well Hestia definitely took Percy's life seriously. I guess that's what mom's do for their sons. Slowly and grudgingly, all the Gods and Goddesses left the healing room, until it was only me and Percy left. I walked up to Percy. In his eyes, I saw pain and betrayal. This was all my fault!

"I'm so sorry!" I whispered to him. "I didn't mean to harm you." It was a mistake saying that

"Oh you didn't MEAN to harm me!" Percy yelled. "I guess that explains the stab marks I have, along with all those messages carved into me and the hundreds of punches I got."

"Percy I-"

"I'm not Percy to you. Only my friends call me that, and you're certainly NOT my friend. What kind of friend beats the other up!"

"I was tricked!' I yelled, frustrated now.

"So was I. By YOU! If you expected me to forgive you without a second thought, then you've got something coming your way. I might DIE!" Tears were rolling down his eyes, while he thinks about his death. The poison will probably take his life. Gods I don't know what to do now.

"Please Percy forgi-" Percy cut me off before I could even finish my sentence.

"Come in now father!" he shouted, so that all the Olympians could hear. It was not king before I could hear then all coming in. When Hestia arrived, she seemed to scan Percy to make sure that there was no mark on him. I mean jeez, no need to do a full MRI scan! He was still in the water tank, not coming out of it. I had a feeling that if he did, he would die in a heartbeat.

"So now that Artemis has had her nice little chat and miraculously didn't hurt Percy, I think it's time to decide her fate," Hestia stated, while smirking. Oh Gods I don't want to get a bad punishment. Sweat started dripping from me, as I listened to them argue.

"I've got an idea Percy," Aphrodite yelled. "Make her marry!" Oh no. I'm a maiden. Please don't Percy.

"Forget that!" Hermes said. "I think it's time for her to lose her virginity. She's had it for way too long anyways!" That's even worse, I thought to myself.

"Agreed!" Aphrodite shouted with glee. This was something she was an expert in. Percy sat up, and thought about what he would do.

"I choose…."

Percy POV

When I woke up, for a moment, I was baffled as to how I managed to land myself in a very shiny room. My body felt stiff, and I stretched, only to recoil in pain. Every inch of my body felt like it had been hit by a cargo jet. The next thing I know, Apollo is in the room, shouting happily.

"You're awake! Finally! Oh wait let me get the others. They are going to be so thrilled!"

"Apollo wait!" I yelled, my voice sounding hoarse. "Why am I here?" I asked, hoping to receive some answers as to what had happened over the last few days. His smile fell off his face, and he simply said, "look at your forearm," before flashing out, to call the others. Sighing, I looked at my arms, and, after I read what they said, I remembered exactly what had happened. Why? I didn't understand how they thought I had raped someone! I guess some questions had to be left for later.

It was all great until Artemis showed up. At least, as great as it can get for a person who had just cheated death. Apollo had told me all about Atlanta's tricks, while I had catched up with everyone. My father and Hestia/Mom were ecstatic that I was alive, despite the fact that I may not live for much longer. However, when Artemis arrived, everything went diagonally backwards. I didn't want to be near the person who had nearly murdered me without any solid proof. I didn't think Phoebe OR Atlanta counted as credible witnesses. I backed up straight away. She noticed it, and tried to come closer, only to be shocked away by everyone else. I guess the Gods did care for me.

I didn't know what to punish Artemis with. While the idea of deflowering her sounded like some pretty good revenge, I kinda admired how Artemis stood up for girls, even if she had tried to kill me, something I would not be forgetting anytime soon. Artemis would be punished by my hand. But what to do. What to do?

Artemis POV

"I choose Artemis to be my slave for the next 3 months. Depending on how good she is, I will either end her punishment, but I won't forget it, or I give the role of punishing Artemis to Aphrodite. I know she would love it." This was a nightmare. I had to be the best slave for 3 months, or face Aphrodite making me marry some man and have sex with him.

"Fine," I answered with gritted teeth. Aphrodite on the other hand was jumping in joy.

"Oooh what kind of slave," she asked. "A sex slave!"

"Maybe," Percy answered, but with no smile at all. Gods he was going to GET it! No one stood up for me. Is this really what had happened to the respect I used to have! Poseidon looked at Percy concerned.

"Are you sure that we should not ban the hunt?" he asked with concern. Percy jumped to his feet, only to fall face first into the water from the lack of energy he had.

"No!" he yelled, once he had sat up in his usual position. "I mean the acts of 3 idiot hunters should not affect the rest of them, who had been beginning to accept me." Poseidon huffed.

"Fine, but those 3 will be punished, and perhaps banished from the world of the Gods!" Please no, I thought to myself. I looked at Father pleadingly, but he didn't seem to care.

"Excellent!" he said. "Artemis will be sentenced to 3 months as a slave, or else!"
