A/N Sorry for the long wait. I hope you like this chapter.

NOTE-I used part of Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods in this chapter.

ARTEMIS POINT OF VEIW

Zoe was mad. Really mad. I could see it. Phoebe could see it. Even Alyss could see it, and she is not very aware to other people's feelings most of the time. She was a legacy of Aphrodite and daughter of Apollo. Even though of her ancestral line, she was a fierce fighter and an incredible hunter. It was why she had lasted this long as a hunter. She had joined a little bit after Zoe joined. She had also had a bad history with the male gender, thankfully though nothing really bad had happened.

I knew that beyond that pain though she very sad. So much that only two things could cause it. Getting kicked out of the hunt, and something with Percy. Since I never kicked her out or ever even thought about it. I knew that it was something with Percy. Something dramatic had happened. Her feelings had been getting holed up since Percy had left. She must have finally let them out on an unexpecting Percy. But more must have happened. This is why I found myself and the daughter of Atlas in my tent, talking about feelings and emotions.

"Zoe, what happened? You have been acting weird ever since we left Olympus." I asked.

"It is nothing Milady." Zoe responded.

"Zoe, I have known you for thousands of years. I know that you are lying. What happened?" I told my lieutenant.

"I-I-I talked to Percy. I did something I shouldn't have." Zoe said quietly.

"Can you tell me what happened?" I asked her.

"No, I can't really." Zoe stated, again quietly.

"You can't, or you won't?" I questioned.

"I am sorry Milady. But I made a big mistake that I am ashamed of. I cannot bare to tell thee." She continued.

"Can you give me the memory?" I asked her.

"I suppose I can Milady." With that I touched he forehead and saw what had happened.

MEMORY

ARTEMIS POINT OF VEIW

"Zoe, I have been trying to talk to you since I have come back, but I was called away on a quick mission, then you were always by someone. I couldn't talk to by ourselves. I am sorry for not coming back. He said that it wasn't the right time whenever I asked if I could come back. I am sorry." apologized.

When Zoe punched Percy in the jaw I gasped. I knew that she would react negatively. But I wasn't expecting it to be in a physical way.

"Where in the world have you been Percy!" Zoe yelled, "You have been gone for 2,000 years, I was wondering every single day where you were? What is going on? If you were safe? I worried for you every single day, for two millennia, and then I find out that you were actually still here on earth as a stupid assassin. Not ever thinking, 'Hey, I can go to the Hunters, the people I consider daughters, and tell them that I am okay and perfectly fine. But no! I am going let them suffer and worry about for two, stupid, millennium!"

"Zoe! That was uncalled for." I told myself. But it got worse. Zoe slapped Percy. I knew that Percy could only take so much from the person he loved. The punch would have hurt. But I was pretty sure that Percy would understand. But the slap had came out of nowhere. Percy would be hurt. Not physically, but emotionally. I was hoping he wouldn't lash out. But my hopes didn't change anything.

"Styx Percy, I am so sorry." Zoe stated as she ran to Perseus. She tried to help him up, but he shook her hand off. "Percy, please don't be mad at me. I am so sorry. I was mad and I acted on impulse and I did something rash."
