P.O.V Artemis.

I strolled into my tent and collapsed on bed, what was I thinking! My emotions were crazy right now! 'Maybe we should go hunting? Yeah! With Alex! Cmon! We both know Artemis has a crush on him❤️❤️❤️☺️!! Nooo! ARTEMIS IS A MAIDEN..... Not for mush longer if I have my way....😊! No!! And what does that mean? You'll see!' I sighed, my emotions were wrecking my concentration. Ever since I visited my cousin, Aphrodite, my sexual urges and emotions had grown stronger. "Aphrodite what have you done to me?!" I growled. 'THE TEA!!' Both my emotions said at once. I groaned, I think I'll go hunting alone. I stepped out of the tent and walked to the perimeter, looking at the branch were Alexander usually sits. He wasn't there. Odd... I thought. I saw a small silver note on the tent flap, which I grabbed.
'Dear Lady Artemis,
I have headed out hunting, as some of the hunters complained that the food tasted off, I will not be back until around 6:30 pm. If you need me, just IM me.
Regards
~Alexandr Cross'
I bit my lip. Should I go hunting? I could end up running into him... OR the camp could be attacked again. My eyes widened, Aurora! The injured huntress.
Without another though, I flashed to Apollos place, finding him and receiving an update on her. I flashed down to camp. Aurora was in a coma, temporarily at least. I decided to tell Thalia that I was going hunting. I walked over to her. "Milady." Was what I was greeted with.
"Thalia, I'm going hunting, alone. If I'm not back by tomorrow morning, head for Olympus, inform them I'm missing, unless you hear from me, ok"
"Yes milady."
I walked off into the woods, not really hunting, but mulling over my thoughts. About an hour later I heard the draw of a bow string and the twang as it was released. Probably a mortal hunter, but this was different, it was a strong aura. I gritted my teeth, if one of my sisters was out here.... But it wasn't, it was Alexandr, with a pitch black bow with molten red streak running through the bow itself. I closed my eyes and thought, but then Aphrodite's 'tea' gave me a kick to my emotions. This was getting out of hand. I flashed myself up a tree and watched him, he placed a hand on the boar and flashed it to the camp kitchen. That would be nice to eat tonight. I had lost track of myself and let me aura seep through the air. He must have sensed me because he vanished and appeared above me, on another branch, smirking.
I smiled. "For a son of Hades, your rather social."
He flashed in front of me, leaning on a Y branch. "For a man hating Goddess, you seem very tolerant of me."
I shrugged. "Touché"
"Indeed."
We sat like that for a few minutes, losing ourselves in the other. I noticed everything I hadn't about him at first. We eventually snapped out of it when a voice said. "So much for being a man hater then Artemis."
Our heads swivled to face a man in an all black suit, black sunglasses, hair and skin
Chaos.
He smirked, and the blood rushed to my face, I turned to Alexandr, he was blushing as well, but didn't look at me.
"A word, Artemis?"
I nodded and hopped down to the ground, following what he did seconds ago.
We strolled away, leaving Alexandr to relax. Chaos turned to me and asked; "You love him, don't you."
"I-I d-don't know.." I spluttered. "I- ARRG!!" I punched a tree. Bad move. The dryad gave me hell and I think I broke my hand. Chaos raised an eyebrow. "I'll take that as a-" I darted in to cut him off. "Yes... I mean.. I think so, I've never felt love before." Chaos nodded sadly. "A shame, but that's not the reason I came here. The naiad of the Styx asked me to tell you that your vow of maiden hood and swearing off men is ready to be broken." My eyes must have light up like stars as Chaos laughed. "I guess I'll tell her that you want it broken." I barely managed a nod. He smiled and said goodbye as I turned away.  "Oh and Artemis?" I turned to face him. "Grab him before any of the other girls do, I understand Aphrodite just blessed him. And I'll inform the council about your oath." With that he vanished, leaving me in the woods.
