Percy Jackson: Ancient Greek Demigod

Chapter 37

AN: Hey guys, I messed up. I've been saying Perseus has been using his brother's sword, but thank you MisguidedPenguin for reminding me Achilles' sword broke against Talos. I'm going to still have him have a sword, but it'll just be a standard one, he'll get one later somehow. Thanks so much for the feedback, and reminding me of some continuity issues. Also, I got into my ED school, yay! Hopefully I'll be able to update more consistently now. Sorry it's been a month, and I'm trying to update as much as possible, so sorry if I don't update as regularly as I used to. I'm really focused on my school work, and don't have as much time to focus on brainstorming ideas. However, I hope you guys enjoy!

Recap:

"N-no," he stuttered, glaring at Perseus, which just caused the ancient demigod to laugh.

Right when he stopped, the door opened, revealing Silena, who whistled. "Damn, Max. I had my doubts about you," she said.

Perseus smirked. "Oh, it wasn't him. It was Tyson," he said.

Silena smirked back. "Of course," she said. "Max couldn't do it without Annabeth to motivate him," she said with a smile towards Perseus before leaving the cabin.

Max turned even redder, causing Perseus to fall on the floor with laughter. After a few moments, he stood up, and looked at Tyson and Max. "While you deny your feelings, I'm going to go see the woman I love," he said, heading towards the cabin exit. "Even though she probably doesn't love me anymore."

Present:

Perseus walked around camp feeling guilty. He had been so focused on training Max that he hadn't visited Zoë once in the six months since she's been at camp. While Max and Tyson walked around camp, Percy headed towards the archery range. When he entered, he saw a silvery figure in a classic archery stance, firing arrows at inhuman speeds into the center. As sweat rolled down her face and arms, her black hair glistened. Beautiful, he thought.

As he walked towards her, Zoë turned and fired and arrow at his skull, causing Perseus to quickly dodge and cause the arrow to fly over his shoulder. "What was that for?" Perseus asked.

Zoë looked at Perseus with a furious expression. "One. Interrupting me while I'm shooting. Two. Leaving me in this infernal camp for SIX MONTHS!" she shouted, firing arrow after arrow at Perseus.

"I'm sorry, I was training my brother," Perseus retorted, constantly dodging. "You know, for the Great Prophecy where we can kill your father's master?"

Zoë stopped fired, and sighed. "Fine, Perseus. What is it?"

Perseus gave Zoë a quick smile. "I want to visit my brother in the Underworld," he lied. "You game?"

Zoë sighed. "Fine. Anything to get out of this infernal camp. Meet me in 30 minutes at Thalia's tree," she stated before turning back to the archery range.

Perseus smirked before heading back to his cabin to make a call.

TIME SKIP - 30 minutes later

Thirty minutes later, Perseus walked over to Thalia's tree and saw Zoë sitting there. "Took you long enough," she muttered. "Let's go, I can't stand this place," she said in a louder voice and headed off.

"Do you even know where to go?" Perseus asked Zoë.

Zoë stopped and turned around to face Perseus. "Of course, stupid boy. We are going to DOA studios," Zoë huffed.

Perseus frowned. I guess she hates me now, and she's going back to her hunter roots. "No we aren't," Perseus said, a smirk returning to his face. "We are going to Central Park. Hope you like music," he said, grabbing hold of Zoë's shoulder and vapor travelling them into the city. When they reached Central Park, Zoë shouldered Perseus to the ground.
