Perseus Jackson: Titan of The Hunt

CH58: I Almost Get Decapitated

(Artemis)

The question took me by surprise as I looked towards the daughter of Nike catching a glance at Percy who looked like a deer in headlights at the question though thankfully all the hunters were looking at me and not behind them.

'What do you mean Phoebe?' I asked curiously hoping to hades that she had not worked out anything was going on between myself and a certain Titan.

'You know the reward you promised us for winning the game, it has been over a week and you still haven't told us yet.' She explained and I felt a sense of relief overwhelm me. Though I didn't visibly show it unlike Percy who let out a sigh of relief before allowing a little color to return to his skin.

'It is not something I can tell you but rather show and I have been busy lately. Pack your things tonight so we are ready to move in the morning. We can move camp and do that at the same time.' I explained besides I knew they wanted to get away from camp as much as I did, there were too many fools to deal with here.

'No more KP duty.' Reyna added happily. I was glad she was no longer so grim after her 'therapy' session. Which was another reason I wanted to leave as she had caused a lot of unhappy residents with her treatment of Piper.

'No you can complete your sentence.' I told her causing her to curse quietly.

'So then girls, get ready because tomorrow will be a hell of a surprise.' I told them causing them to excitably get to their feet.

'Last one there gets to clean Nemea's litter tray.' Jacqueline proclaimed before running towards the cabin quickly followed by the others. Not that they stood a chance of catching the diminutive daughter of Hermes who could outrun any of them despite her stature. The thing was Nemea didn't even have a tray as she was a monster and bodily functions did not affect her the same way despite the amount she ate.

'That was close.' Percy whispered having moved to my side while I watched the hunters leave in the opposite direction.

'Relax, they don't know. No one does except me, you and someone who knows to keep his mouth shut.'

'Eros better know better than to open his mouth or we will need a new god of love.'

'Why you volunteering?' I asked him playfully causing him to blush.

'Titan of love just doesn't have the same ring to it.' He joked and I had to agree.

I was about to reply when I saw him stiffen and begin to look around as if searching for someone.

'What is the matter?' I asked him.

'I thought I sensed an immortal nearby briefly.'

'Well this place is frequented or inhabited by a number of gods.' I told him sarcastically only for him to frown.

'I know that but this didn't feel like a god, besides I can tell the six apart as well as you and Dionysius.'

'Well glad I am different from a drunk according to your senses.'

'No but the thing was I could have sworn it was a Titan.' He explained and that was enough for me to stop joking, great the literal last thing I needed today was that suicidal idiot turning up because of his wife's vendetta against my boyfriend.

'Go to the chariot and I will meet you there. I will make sure the hunters are fine and then meet you there.' I told him firmly before watching the shadows consume him.

'Fates if you are listening, you suck.' I said aloud before making my way to the hunter's cabin.
