Perseus Jackson: Titan of The Hunt

CH79: Resisting Urges

(Percy)

'I did not agree to this!' Perseus complained and I frankly couldn't blame him. As much as I understood Artemis's reasoning behind it as to avoid conflict unnecessarily, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and wish there was an easier way.

'It is an abomination.' Zoe remarked cringing.

'It is like a nightmare come true.' Thalia said trying not to laugh.

'Kill it with fire.' Tania called out from the group and I half expected her to sprout a pitchfork and incite the others to get me as well.

'IT has a name you know.' I said wearily looking down at myself in disgust.

'It can talk? It hurts my ears, shut it up.' Someone called from inside the greater huddle of hunters.

'I don't know girls, I like to think of it as an improvement. Isn't that right Persee?' Diana said smugly from her position on a nearby tree stump.

'Why the hell did I agree to this again?' I asked turning to look at her.

'The Romans think you are dead, they don't know about the hunt having a guardian and I like to think this gives you the benefit of the surprise... That and I find it hilarious, now hurry up and get changed and stop complaining.' She said pointing at a pile of silver clothes.

First she makes me cross-gender now I have to cross dress; she was going to owe me big after this. I thought to myself as I grabbed the bundle and began to walk away from them to get some privacy.

'Don't forget to put on the bra and no funny business with that body.' Diana added as I grit my teeth and carried on walking.

'MUST. RESIST. URGE. TO. DESTROY. ALL. HUNTERS.' Perseus said slowly obviously even less impressed with the situation than I was.

'Forget that how do you even put on a bra?' I asked in complete confusion. This was gonna take a while.

(Diana)

'This is gonna be amazing, get a camera quick.' Artemis asked inside my head.

'I would rather not, I can tell that Perseus is already at his limit of how far this is going already. Besides he has been almost fifteen minutes already, gonna have to send a search party soon.'

'Your not going anywhere, last time he took that form you ended up going all Bi-Curious on me.'

'That's not fair he tricked me.' I protested weakly.

'You got tricked by the biggest idiot for forty miles.'

'He is our idiot though.' I pointed out before a rustling of dead leaves caught my attention just in time to see 'Persee' walk out from behind a tree looking complete disheveled.

'Good enough?' He asked wearily before everyone broke out into laughter at the sight in front of us. I was too busy trying to stay seated that I did not notice the change of eye color or the outraged expression appear on his/her face.

'I WILL KILL YOU ALL IN YOUR SLEEP!' Perseus announced threateningly Maelstrom appearing in his hand, bringing a sudden end to everyone's laughter. Just as quickly he swapped back revealing a very wide eyed Percy who was looking at the hunters fearfully before turning around and running off leaving the hunters in stunned silence.

'Well that isn't good, we need to go after her/him... whatever.' Artemis told me breaking the silence.

'Zoe, Thalia explain what you know about the whole Percy/Perseus thing.' I asked to keep the hunters occupied while I went after the gender bent guardian. Perseus from what I had seen of him so far was far too volatile around insults, no matter how petty. The problem was he had an ego the size of the moon and the power to back it up. That combined with the alarming ability for him to forcibly take control of the Titan Lords body was not good for anyone who upset him.
