Dizziness but the blurry image was starting to scenes. Percy vision clear and the first thing he saw, no the first person was an angry Artemis staring down at him.

A very furious Artemis.

Before he could say a word, she slapped him with such force that Zeus's thunder would have no match that his head buried into the white pillow.

"Ouch!" Percy held his swollen cheek and glared at her. "What was that for!?"

Artemis leaned back then put a hand on her hip, the other held up the tube that was used to exchange their blood.

"Why did you risk your life to do this?" She said as humanly, or as godly calm as possible. "I didn't endanger my life to save you so that you can risk it again."

She was glowing, and when she glows, things get bad.

"Calm down first, you are glowing" he told her. The last time she glowed silver, a dagger had buried in his torso.

She huffed, but her power had been submerged.

"You were dying!" He said. "What do you expect me to do?"

She turned away from him, ignored his reply, her arms folded at her chest.

Percy pulled out the needle at his inner elbow and stood up, he held her chin and turned her face to him. His eyes bored on her silver's.

"I've promised in front of mother" he told her. "I'll protect you no matter what. So I won't let you die on me Artemis"

"Talk the guy who's the cause of everything" She huffed, but couldn't stare at him as she said so.

"We are both wrong in this ok?" He sighed. "If I could get over my insecurities, then I wouldn't have ran away and if you could come over your stubbornness"

"I'm not stubborn!" Artemis opened her eyes and defended herself.

"Yeah right" Percy snorted, but that seemed to get the goddess angrier.

She slapped him again, his head seemed to have spun a 360 degrees.

"Would you stop the slapping!" He groaned. "You just came back from the death you know!"

"But it might bring out some senses for you" she knocked on his head.

"Sometimes I'm still questioning if we're actually related" he pouted, rubbing the spot where she knocked.

The flap of the tent opened and Apollo walked in, the moment he saw Artemis, his eyes lit up like candles.

"LITTLE SIS!" He lugged at Artemis and she attempted to dodge. Percy saw opportunity opening, he slightly pushed her forward towards a running Apollo, no a Rugby League player. Apollo tackled her into a hug, Percy could've heard a crack.

"Oh little sis it was soooo boring without our scowling and shooting me"

Percy couldn't help but snickered, only to received consistent glares from Artemis.

"And also there was no one to stop me from hitting on your hunters." He added with a smirk.

Artemis pushed him away and growled. "Apollo you dared."

"Relax I was joking" he laughed. "None has fallen for me...yet?"

His cocky smile made Artemis even more furious. She immediately summoned her bow as Apollo summoned a table and held it in front of him as a shield.

"Routine already?" He said. "That's fast!"

Artemis gave out a frustrated sigh. Clearly she was not in the mood for fighting. She turned to Percy.
