*Artemis POV*

Percy had no idea what he had in store. Not only was he going to do the Laudry, and cook food. He had to learn archey as well. That was going to definitely kill one of my hunters in the process. I was wondering how the other hunters would take it. Thalia would be happy, but Pheobe... that would be a tough nut to crack.

"Lady Artemis." Percy said behind me. I teleported us to my tent.

"Yes Perseus?"

"Will they except me?" He said hopefully.

I put my hand on his shoulder, "Probably not, you will have to endure a lot of pain. But maybe, just maybe, they might one day."

He gave me a worried look, "I just want to belong somewhere agian."

I felt bad for Percy. He wasn't a bad guy. He was probably the only man I could stand to be around. That was not something I normaly said.

I summoned the hunters to the table. They surrounded it in there own individual seats.

"Why have you called us?" Thalia said.

"We have a new member joining the hunt."

"What's her name?" They all yelled with excitement.

"Not her, he." I said with remorse. I could tell they were going to flip.

They went silent. None of them spoke a word. Out of nowhere, the started to laugh uncontrollably.

"Good one mistress!" Pheobe said in tears.

They stopped when my face was serious, "I am not kidding, his name is Perseus Jackson."

Thalia eyes lit up, "Kelp Head!"

"Him..." Pheobe growled.

"Be nice! He has gone through enough!" I barked at them.

"What are you talking about?" Thalia said.

"I'll let him explained." I said.

Percy walked out of the tent with his head down. His eyes were still red and puffy.

"What's wrong Kelp Head? Why aren't you with Annabeth?" She said worried.

He looked at the hunters, "Well... Let's just say that today has been a living hell. I had a random brother come to camp and make everyone turn their back on me," he started to choke up, "Even Annabeth, she cheated on me..."

"Percy, Annabeth wouldn't do that for no reason, did you cheat on her?" She gave him the death stare.

"You know my fatal flaw! Loyalty is everything to me. Why in the gods name would I do that?" He yelled.

"Perce..." she said. She must have finally believed him.

"Then, my mother died in a car crash. I had no where to go... that's why I am here. Lady Artemis gave me a second chance. A fresh start, with you all. I understand I am a guy, I know that you probaly all hate me, but just believe me when I say I will risk my life for you all. You people are the only people I have left."

I could tell most of them were still skeptical, but they seemed to begiving him less harsh of glares than when he entered.

"Allright, now that's out of the way, Perseus how about you make us dinner?" I asked, but it was more of a order.

"Yes ma'am." Individually, he asked every hunter what they wanted, he was able to summon it out of mid air.

Thalia was scarfing down a t-bome steak, "How are you doing this?"
