Pertemis: the new Olympian

Chapter thirteen

Percy POV:

I couldn't believe that Jake and Thalia were being accused of... breaking her vow of virginity. Not that I had any basis to judge them on considering not ten minutes ago my tongue was down the throat of THE virgin goddess.

"First things first" I began "were you?"

"NO!" They both yelled at once.

"We're not angry" Artemis joined the conversation. "I just didn't think you would do this Thalia"

"I didn't!" Thalia looked frustrated while i stifled a laugh.

"And I thought it would happen eventually" I said.

They all glared daggers at me.

"I never understood why the hunters had to make a virginity vow. It's just always seemed stupid and there only to spite the hero's who love the woman who may become a hunter." I continued.

Artemis was silent. I think she might have been contemplating my opinion (considering we had just made out too)

"If you guys wanna, I ain't gonna stop you" I told them. Artemis reluctantly nodded

Artemis POV

Percy was right. As much as I hated it, celibacy was about two thousand years out of date it was just difficult for me to accept. And I still hadn't fully accepted it.

Jake and Thalia went back inside, I had no idea how they would react to what just happened.

"It's not like we have much ground to talk" Percy laughed

"Percy... we can't do that again. I'm so sorry" I really liked Percy. But I was the maiden goddess. I ran upstairs to the room I had allocated myself during our stay at the wolf house.

I sat on my bed. I though about everything, Annabeth attaining godhood, mine and percys' kiss and Jake and Thalia's obvious feelings for each other.

Then the person I least expected to see appeared in front of me.

Annabeth.

"What! Get out!"

"Stay away from Percy" she growled at me

"What, like you stayed away from that Aphrodite camper?"

She looked enraged. The building's foundations shook, she rushed at me with a knife.

I grabbed her arm and put her in a head lock.

"You don't want to do this" I told her.

"Yes I do" she stabbed my leg with her knife, I let out a guttural scream at the pain of a god attacking me. It was completely different than of a monster or mortal attacked me. No my life was actually in danger here and I was scared at Annabeths skill.

Percy must have felt and heard the commotion since he burst down my door, Annabeth evaporated away in the air, she was gone.

He rushed to me. He saw the golden ichor rushing from my leg.

"Are you ok?" he stupidly asked

"Obviously not"

He fed ambrosia and nectar into my mouth. The hunters and the adventurers were standing at the door questioning what had happened.

"Go back to your rooms" Percy said calmly but firmly.

There was chatter amongst them but nobody moved anywhere

"GO BACK TO YOUR ROOMS!" Percy yelled clearly aggravated now. It was the first time I'd seen Percy truly be angry, it was scary and immediately made me want to stay on his good side.

The group quickly headed back to their rooms.

Percy lifted me to my bed and pulled the covers over me.

"I'll stay with you tonight"

"Why?" I knew why. I just wanted to hear it from him.

He hesitated "just incase annabeth comes back"

I knew that's not why he wanted to stay at all but I though I should just leave it.

He clambered into the bed and put up a pillow fort between us as to not raise suspicion with the hunters or adventurers.

Time skip to the middle of the night.

My leg had fully healed Over the first half of the night. Percy was fully asleep I wonder if anyone has told him that he drools when he does.

I climbed out of the bed and made a stupid decision. I needed to see Aphrodite, I need her to explain these feelings I'd been having about the god on the other side of the bed.

I teleported myself to Olympus (hopefully Annabeth wouldn't be here.)
