Guardian of the Hunt (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

Percy POV

I woke up to a surprise. When I opened my eyes I was greeted to breakfast in bed or in this case breakfast in couch. Talia was beaming at me. Her green eyes were gleaming. A little draft came in and I felt bare. My eyes widened, my robe was off. I looked down to see myself shirtless and in a pair of black sweatpants. I guess Talia noticed my shock.

"Artemis called Apollo about an hour ago to change you because you were covered in blood. Why were you covered in blood? "She asked. I gulped. I didn't want to tell her but she deserved to know.

"That blood was your cousins." She gasped. I put my head down in shame, thinking I hurt her. But she surprised me. She gave me a bone crushing hug. She looked up to me.

"Thank you. "She said. I was shocked. Thank you? I killed her cousins and she says thank you.

"But I killed them." She just shrugged.

"They were adopted and I was forced to live with them. They deserved whatever they got." I sighed but pulled her closer to me. She let me go and gave me a stern look.

"Eat." She commanded. I nodded with amusement.

"Yes mam." I said with a mock salute. She smacked me upside the head and giggled. I looked around in confusion. "Where are Artemis and the others?"

"Council meeting now eat!" I chuckled but began to eat.

Artemis POV

Father called me and the hunters to let us know why Perseus looked like a bloody mess. I figured it was the mortals because it wasn't his blood. Atalanta and Diana walked behind my while Thalia and Phoebe were at my side. We strolled into the throne room where the gods were surprisingly quiet. My Father was looking at me strangely while the other gods just looked bored.

"Artemis my daughter, do you wish to see what happen to those mortals that did harm to the youngest in your group?" I nodded. My father and the other gods looked queasy. Even Ares had a slight disturbed look to him. What did Percy do that got them like this?

"Artemis, you might want your hunters to leave unless they wish to be shown the true punishment of causing a hunter pain. I tell you this, it's worse than anything you could've done." I gaped. A punishment worse than mine. I kill them, what did Percy do? I gave a gesture to my hunters to leave the room. They seem disappointed but left. Only Thalia stayed, with my consent of course. Athena projected an image.

"Brace yourself." She said. Me and Thalia watched Perseus commit the act with grim satisfaction. I never have seen Perseus so bloodthirsty. He was like the very essence of vengeance. I and Thalia flinched as Percy uncorked a bomb and placed it in the man's mouth. The result was messy. The other man was blessed with a better death. Still messy but better than being blown to pieces. The image disappeared. Thalia and I were shocked. He was like an angel of death descending on his prey with a mighty vengeance. A true Guardian of the Hunters. We turned around to the other gods and shrugged.

"It wasn't that bad." They gaped and Ares was rolling on the floor with laughter.

"He truly earned the title of Angel of Darkness and Death." He said. I was shocked. Perseus had titles. Ares told me that in his roman aspect he had blessed Percy and gave him titles and a title that he now shared with Percy. The Avenger. I nodded in agreement and was about to take my leave before my father called me and Thalia.

"Daughters, we are having a party with karaoke so bring Percy and the hunters to Olympus. My treat." I smiled and nodded. Thalia and I left to tell Perseus the news.

Percy POV

I had just finished my breakfast when the hunters and Artemis had returned. They were smiling like little kids who just took a visit to the candy store. Before I knew it I was tackled to the ground by the hunters. They were beaming at me.
