Old Vows, Young Lovers

Into the Fire (pt.2)

Welcome back to Old Vows! It has been a century since I have updated, and I am sorry. As my announcement post said, I recently graduated high school, and if you've done that recently, you know how busy it can be with college planning.

I also have done some editing of the earlier Chapters. Ch3 is completely rewritten and 3K words longer than it was before. No more cringe sex scenes and I also edited/rewrote and combined Chapters 4 and 5. I admit, there are still one or two typos in that chapter, but it is whatever. Please consider leaving reviews because I lost reviews by combining those chapters. The reviews are locked to chapters, and since I deleted Chapter 5, I lost all of those reviews.

I hope you guys have been paying attention to the parallels and the foreshadowing going on in the story. This is probably the most intense of this little 3 part series, and this is the one that has the climax and the very suspenseful ending.

I just kept writing and writing this chapter, and I kept having to split it up, but I think that actually turned out to be the best for it. This chapter leaves off on a cliffhanger, but the next chapter, part 3, will be out shortly enough.

WARNING! This chapter contains light sexual references and themes as well as blood and gore.

A few hours after the incident in the restaurant, Artemis and Percy arrive back at the Moon Mansion. They had an excellent day out in the city together. They went to three different lingerie and women's sleepwear stores, and Percy picked out multiple outfits for her in each one. Artemis, with pleasure, modeled each and every outfit that Percy picked out. She had wanted to treat him to something nice, and it is long overdue. They went to VS, and they went to Cirillas... The latter was very much to Artemis's dismay, and she could not stop blushing since they specialized in stuff other than lingerie as well. They went to a few other stores as well including an italian lingerie store that Artemis thought looked promising. They got so many jealous glances from the other men and women in the stores... The women were jealous of Artemis's blessings of curves and beauty as well as her man, and the men jealous of Percy for getting to sit back on the sofa while his girlfriend tries on and models each and every outfit by dancing on the spot. Regardless, Artemis was still pissed off as soon as she got back to the Moon Mansion, and not even Percy was safe from her wrath. You would think that after a full day of having a nice time with Percy... that she would be slow to anger.

...

The first thing Artemis did when they got back was talk to Thalia and Phoebe to get caught up on what happened when they were gone, and Artemis was not happy...

"What!?" Artemis shouts abruptly to her Lieutenant. Thalia is not phased, and she just folds her arms in response to her mistress's attitude. Phoebe just rolls her eyes.

Phoebe is standing right beside Thalia, and she looks equally unphased, maybe even more so. It could be Zeus himself that Phoebe is staring down intensively, and she still would not be phased. There is nothing that girl fears, and when Atalanta is around, she is even more confident. The two of them could conquer any obstacle thrown in their way, and they know it. Artemis is pissed off about Atalanta, and Phoebe is not happy about that. She does not take kindly to anyone talking bad about her baby sister.

"That's what happened. Atalanta is upstairs with Ray recovering from her injuries."

Artemis rolls her eyes and shakes her head.

"Go get Atalanta and her boyfriend and tell that huntress I want to speak to them right now..." She tells Phoebe sternly, and Phoebe nods her head as she turns around to go do as she is told. Artemis is in such a bad mood that she doesn't even think about the possibility of Phoebe interrupting the two lovebirds making love, but she doesn't care anyway.
