Artemis Fcks Up

Warnings: Swearing, heavy topics;could possibly be triggering, also very OOC

It started with a council meeting, one that was worse then the others, I mean the arguing was normal but this was so so, so much worse, "Gods! You're so annoying!" Artemis cried

Apollo smirked, giving a mock bow, "It's a gift."

Artemis rubbed her temples, trying not to blow up, "Oh, I wish you weren't my brother."

Apollo stiffened surprised at the harshness in her voice, "What?" he asked weakly

The other gods watched with great intensity, Artemis looked at Apollo with glinting silver eyes, "You try so hard its not even funny," She diverted her attention, no longer looking at Apollo, "Why did the fates have to curse me with someone as awful as you." She didn't hear the sharp intake of breathe, "I've got to go."

A bright flash filled the room and when it cleared Artemis was gone.All eyes were now trained on Apollo, who had gone pale, "Apollo?"Hermes asked, almost jumping out of his skin when Apollo gave him an empty look, "You've got to know she was lying right? None of what she said is true."

"Maybe not to you," He murmured, "But she wasn't lying, trust me, I would know if she was."

Apollo took a shaky breath, "I'm gonna go." he mumbled before waking out of the throne room.

No one realized how much damage had been done until the next monthly meeting. Apollo seemed dull, he wasn't shining as bright, wasn't smiling as much. He still joked and flirted but it seemed more forced, Hermes shot him concerned looks but Apollo was avoiding hisgaze. Then it happened, Apollo made one comment,one mistake, it was out of line for him to say, he already knew that,but apparently regretting it instantly wasn't enough, "You are so much more idiotic then I thought, and that's saying a lot." Artemis scoffed.

Apollo frowned, finally locking eyes with Hermes, who was trying to send some comforting vibes, "Honestly," Artemis shook her head in disappointment

"You know," Apollo started slowly, "With all the bad things you hear about from your huntresses, you would think you'd try not to act like the people you hate."

Artemis stared, " How dare you talk to me like that, you don't know anything that my Huntresses have been through," Artemis was trembling with rage, her face red, her eyes fiery, her form shimmered and then her bow was by her side, "Never speak about my hunters or me that way," Her eyes narrow, "I hate you." She spat, venom lacing her words

Apollo flinched harshly and his eyes glazed over. He stopped moving, he stopped breathing, he didn't even blink when Artemis flashed back to her Hunters. Hermes rushed over to his friend, his brother. Zeus was still, but he sat tensely, his blue eyes stormy and colder then ice,he watched as Hermes tried to put a comforting hand on Apollo's shoulder but gasping when it went straight through him, "Ohnononono," He whispered horrified, "C'mon Apollo you're stronger then this."
