The Bowman

Found Out

Artemis' POV:

I appeared in the throne room of Olympus and shot an arrow into the center causing a beam of light to shoot up into the center of the ceiling. In a matter of seconds the other gods appeared. Each of them flashed into their thrones as I took my own seat.

"Daughter, what is it?" Zeus asked and I looked up trying to keep my emotions in check

"I have made contact with the Bowman, and he says... that Percy Jackson is alive..." I said causing the throne room to go silent

"Artemis, please tell me you did not take him at his word... I know you're feeling for my son but even my brother knows he is dead, he speaks with Percy's spirit every day..." Poseidon said and I shook my head

"I know, but why else would he say something like that... he seems to know something... perhaps we should check if that really is Percy's spirit, and if it truly is ask him what's going on" I said

"I can do that Artemis, but don't let your emotions get the better of you, the enemy will use it to their advantage" Hades said and I nodded as I felt a tear roll down my face

"I won't let them use him against me." I said as I flashed back to my camp

When I arrived I found my huntresses all pointing their bows into the treeline. I followed their aim and saw the Bowman sitting there eating an apple.

"Ahh, Arty good to be here, thank you for such the warm welcome" He said sarcastically as he took another bite "I'd ask if you want a bite, but Im afraid Im already a taken man I'm sure you understand" He laughed as he jumped down

I clenched my fists as I marched up to him and got into his face, shifting into my eighteen year old form.

"I don't care what you say, if you are lying to me about Percy Jackson, I'll make you wish you were castrated" I threatened but the Bowman just laughed

"Why would I lie about my own boss? I'll let you in on a secret though. He HATES the gods. Every, Last, One of them" He said and I felt a pang enter my chest

"T-Thats not true, Percy's always respected the gods He's never hated us!" I said but he just shook his head

"Think whatever you want, the boss has made his views very clear, since you all made poor Hestia fade he'd never forgive the gods" He said with a sneer

I took a step back, Percy knew about Hestia's fading? Hestia faded after Percy died, stating the only person who embodied the spirit of hope was dead. There's no way that he could know. Unless he was alive. Percy did always respect Hestia more than everyone else.

"Come on, we have a while to walk to get to the boss' Headquarters" he said and he started walking "Come on girls, don't want to lag behind now do you?" He said and I saw the anger in my huntress' eyes ignite

"Calm down girls, just follow him, there's nothing we can do. If he says Percy can be found then we have to try" I said my voice quiet and I felt a hand on my back

"Milady, I doubt what he says is true, the Percy I knew would never hate the gods" Thalia said with a small smile

"But what he says makes sense... Percy always respected Hestia more than everyone else so if he heard that she faded due to us not having the spirit of hope then he would blame us..." I said as I started following the man

"Artemis, Percy would never think that! This man... he's lying just to get under your skin, I know your feelings towards Percy, everyone does, but you cant let this stupid male take advantage of them" Thalia said

"Yes, you're right" I said "He is just a stupid male"

"Feelings?" I heard the Bowman say "You have feelings for Percy Jackson?" He started to laugh "Well, this'll make an interesting report!" he laughed and I drew my dagger and held it to his throat
