The Hunt's Guardian

Family Reunion

Percy's point of view after he told the hunt his name wasn't Guardian.

Percy's POV

I sat on my bed in my Chaos tent thinking about what I had told the Hunt. They're going to have a lot of questions. I felt Artemis leave the camping ground that we were at. This can't be good.

Why wouldn't just leave her Hunt by themselves, especially in the presence of a male? I walked out of my tent and found the hunt around a campfire. They all looked over at me.

"Why did Lady Artemis leave?" I asked remembering that I had to call her Lady Artemis instead of Arty.

"How do you know that Lady Artemis left?" Zoe asked. I looked over at her. Thalia stood next to her with her arms crossed.

Before I could reply, Bianca cut me off, "She said she needed to check on something."

Bianca stood up and walked over to me. "She going to your tomb. She going to open it." Bianca whispered into my ear.

I stared at her. "This is bad," I said.

 "What is bad?" Asked a girl that I somewhat recognized.

"What's your name?" I asked girl looking into her eyes.

"Jada!" She said to me.

One of the girls that I rescued. I smiled, I wonder what happened to Lily. I was snapped back into reality when Bianca elbowed me in the stomach.

"Oh, yeah. Um, she's going to open Percy Jackson's tomb." I told, as a spoke in the minds of the Olympians, telling them what was happening and that she couldn't open that tomb.

The Hunt became silent. Thalia and Zoe looked at each other and sighed. Zoe looked over at me and said, "We need to stop her. Let's go."

I nodded and tapped my foot lightly on the ground. I teleported the Hunt, Bianca, and I to the grave that had been built for me. The other Olympians were already there when we teleported there.

As soon as Poseidon saw the Hunt and I, he rushed into the grave site. I walked in behind them. The Hunt followed me. By the time we got there Poseidon had started to speak

"Artemis, why are you trying to open his tomb?"

Arty looked him in the eyes and said, " Because something's not right." Arty then opened my tomb. 

When she saw that my body was no longer in the tomb she jumped back and gasped. I could already see the tears streaming down her face.

I saw my mom and dad (Hestia and Poseidon) rushed to my tomb to see what was wrong, but I started to get a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

A loud rumbling rang through the air. We all ran out of my Grave site to see an army of monsters. I saw Hermes snap his fingers and all the Campers came out of nowhere, ready to fight.

They were too late. The Chaos Warriors and I  sprang into action. We worked well together, as always.

We killed the army in a matter of seconds but we didn't notice that one had slipped away. I killed off the last monster and then notice that everyone had stopped moving.

Then I notice it. A monster had a knife at Artemis's neck. It what black liquid dripping from it.  i felt Chaos enter my head,

"Guide her." Chaos told me.

I nodded to myself, then entered Arty's head. "Focus on Riptide."

"Focus, it will save you. Just think about me."

"Percy?" Arty asked me back.

I paused for a moment. " Yes," I said.

Riptide came flying at Arty. She took it in her hand and then knocked the knife out of the monster's hand. Everything lap into silence and then things turned for the worse.

End came out of nowhere.  End knocked Riptide out of Arty's hand. End pressed his sword against Artemis's neck.

Oh dear Chaos!

I teleported out of there, going right to Chaos. She had an Iris message up, and was watching the scene with wide eyes. She turned her head to look at me.

" You'll have to fight him off of her. I'll distract him, you get ready, get Riptide, and fight him when I give the signal."

I nodded, then I turned myself invisible and teleported myself to Olympus again. I grabbed Riptide without End noticing. I stood and waited for Chaos to give the signal.

Chaos flashed in and looked at End, "End, you need to let Artemis go."

End shook his head, " You think I'm going to let her go when she is the lover of Percy Jackson. That kid is the only one that can kill me. I'm going to make him feel pain so he can't fight against me. Then I'll kill you and everyone else that goes against me."He said.

"Percy is faded. How do you plan on making him feel pain when he's not even here." Chaos tried to reason.

" I felt his soul enter the Underworld. I also know you took his body out of his tomb. I also know that his fate is in father's control. So where is he?"  End said.

I saw End look around and then his eyes widened, "Where is Riptide."

Chaos smirked, "You really think I would be trying to reason with you. No, I was just distracting you!"

I took out my knife that I had taken from Bianca, and threw it at Ends face. End moved his sword and blocked the knife. Silence became deafening. Then I heard the laughter. Bianca's laughter.

"Oh, you're so screwed. Percy wasn't supposed to reveal his identity. You know he's about to murder someone. Look at his face. This is amazing. Go, Percy, go." Bianca yelled.

I then fought End like the boss I am. He disappeared after threatening me. I turned around and looked at everyone there. I smiled nervously and waved.

"Guess who's alive?" I said.

"Percy?" I heard Arty say. The next thing I knew, I was being hugged by Artemis tightly. I hugged her back just as much.

"I missed you so much." I heard Arty whisper to me. 

"So I've heard. I've missed you too." I chuckled quietly.

I felt a bunch of other people hug me and Artemis. The Hunt had joined the hug. After a couple of minutes, we let go of each other. I felt Artemis slap me on the cheek. That was to be expected.

I rubbed my cheek and smiled at her. She still had tears dripping down her face. I then felt myself be squashed by 6 people. Nico, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Leo, and Piper. They let go of me, and then my mom and dad hugged me. 

Bianca started to laugh again and then said, " Oh my gods, it's an adorable family reunion."

"Why are you always laughing?!" I yelled at Bianca. She just shrugged. 

"Wait, those stories about that hero are real?" asked a young camper. Zeus nodded at the child. 

"You guys, I'm really, really, tired." I said before I lied down on the ground, and fell asleep.
