The Hunter

The Hunt

Percy POV
As we walked around the Roman camp, the were acting like little kids. We kept shoving each other and I splashed her with water whenever she tried to charmspeak me. Let's just say when Artemis saw us, I was ready to run again but not from Artemis.

I had just dropped a big ball of water, it caused some mud, then she fell into said mud and threatened to painfully dismember me. I was honestly happy to see Artemis. So I did probably the stupidest thing I could have.

I hid behind Artemis and used her as a shield.

She apparently found this hilarious. And then she shoved me in between her and Piper. I tried to run, but kind of hard to with a dagger at your throat and a silver arrow aimed at my brainstem. So I tried to talk my way out. AKA called for my dad and Triton. They instantly flashed in and proceeded to laugh at me.

"Hey!" I yelled indiligently. "A little help would be nice."

"No. Your good." Turning to Artemis, Triton said, "Please don't hurt him too much?"

"What the Hades! Your supposed to be on my side and save me from these mad women. No laugh at me while Artemis turns me in to a jackalope."

"Son... you'll be fine. See you tomorrow... I hope"

"Ugh. Bye then. APHRODITE!"

"Yes... Oh! What did you do to him." Aphrodite said pushing Piper and Artemis out of the way. "His clothes are all dirty. Come here. Let Aunt Aphy take care of you." She then pulled me into a hug and I made a face at Piper and Artemis.

Let's just say Artemis wasn't very happy about that. Lucky for me all Aphrodite saw was Artemis aim an arrow at me for no good reason. Next thing I knew Piper, Aphrodite, and I were all in a room that matched the color of my eyes.

At first i thought I was in my dads palace on Olympus but then Aphrodite opened a door and all I saw was pink. I mean seriously, who has a pink statue of someone else.

Yes. She really had a pink, life size statue of me." Ok that is just creepy. Can I please destroy it." I told Aphrodite, pointing at the statue of me. I didn't wait for her answer as I formed a sword of water and cut the statue in half.

"Hey!" Aphrodite yelled. "That was my favorite statue. Now you've gone and destroyed it!"

"It was a statue of me. That I didn't even know about. How was I supposed to react?"

Piper then decided that her mom and I had argued enough. "Percy. It wasn't very nice to break her statue. Mom. He has a point. That is pretty creepy. I mean sure. He's fucking hot, but still, I wouldn't make a life size statue of him. Maybe a signed poster of him, but not a statue."

" Hey Pipes. How big would you like the poster and how many." I said with a mischievous grin.

"Um... None please. I was just saying hypothetically speaking." Piper said embarrassed, while discreetly holding up four fingers.

"Ok. I'll get you your posters tomorrow."

Artemis chose this moment to burst through the door to Aphrodite's palace.

"Where the hell is that stupid goddess."

"Artemis! She's in here. Help!" I yelled out. "She's trying to get me to take Piper's maidenhood"

"WHAT!" Enter extremely pissed off Artemis.

"Hey Arty. Aphrodite just left. Want to get us out of this pink torture chamber."

"Percy. That is the smartest thing I've ever heard you say."
