The next morning came and I found myself in the arms of Percy; I smiled at how innocent he looked but it was then I remembered what we did yesterday. I blushed gold and slowly stood up only to groan in pain and for Percy to shoot up, holding a dagger. (Damn he's a light sleeper.)
He blinked repeatedly to get sleep out of his eyes, before he noticed me and placed the dagger down and slowly climbed out of bed. "A bath will ease the pain." he spoke. I nodded and he lifted me up, slowly walking to my bath.

He placed me down and turned on the tap seeing to the water

He placed me down and turned on the tap seeing to the water. Eventually, once the plug was in he bent down. "Tell me when it gets too hot." he spoke before he flicked water at me. I gasped before I flicked some at him causing a smile to grace his lips, and for me to kiss him. Like last night the kiss became heated but he drew away, causing me to pout and for him to peck my lips.
He was about to leave but I wanted him to stay so I told him to hop in. He did so and eventually turned the water, off. He pulled me closer and I leant back as he kissed my neck, sighing in happiness as he continued to kiss me. After a few minutes we washed each other and climbed out. He kissed me gently before grabbing a towel and helping me out...he carried me to my bed before he placed me down and kissed me gently-running his tongue across my bottom lip. My lips parted and our tongues battled for dominance, his hand ran up my leg and I moaned he smirked and slowly went down, causing me to moan once more. He ran his tongue over my slit and I moaned again grabbing his hair and pulling him closer. Everything he did made me want more. Slowly he drew away and I slipped down the bed and once again took him in my mouth. He moaned and I smirked before I continued...he grabbed the sheets in his hands tightly and another moan escaped him. I drew away and he made sure I was underneath him before he thrusted into me. My back arched and moan escaped both our lips.
Minutes ticked by and eventually we came down from our high and I summoned clothes for the both of us. He smiled weakly and kissed my lips before we drew away, and changed for good. I still ached but not as much as I did before.

When we entered the throne room that led to the dining room I saw the hunters and they looked pissed. Percy squeezed my hand and we continued to walk them following behind. When we entered Aphrodite turned away and I turned to Percy who rolled his eyes.
Eventually a fight escalated between Percy and my hunters leading to Thalia to shoot him with lightning. He crashed into the table and a sickening crack sounded. He gasped for breath and I ran to him, he coughed up blood and tears fell down my face. "Perseus..." he coughed up more and slowly went blue. I turned to the rest of the gods...to call for Apollo but I found they were frozen like the hunters. I frowned and the doors burst open and Chronos walked in. I grabbed my knife but he flicked his hand causing it to skid away from us. He healed Percy confusing both of us but as I turned to him he cut me off what I was going to say.... "Atlas is coming for you two, mainly you Artemis, so keep your guard up..." we nodded "and another thing if you get pregnant the child will be a weapon, I can save her before she's about to sacrifice herself..." he stopped as he hissed in pain. "no one should know of this conversation, but we'll be in touch." with that he disappeared with a swish of his coat and the lowering of his hat. Time sped up and everyone stared at us in confusion, even the hunters, but Percy gasped and I turned my attention back to him as he held his head, before it passed a minute later and he stared at his father in confusion...

I frowned and Nico ran in. Thalia's hands cracked and she aimed for him but he dodged the bolts she sent his way and grabbed her by the throat and tipped something down. She gagged but he made sure she swallowed, looking pained as she continued to gag..."Neeks." she whispered a couple of minutes later, as she collapsed to the ground. He caught her and sat her up, but made sure she was leaning against him.
He kissed her forehead squeezing his eyes shut. "I never thought I would say this but thank you Chronos." he spoke. Everyone frowned but as he opened his eyes he looked up at us. Percy and Nico bowed their heads at each other as some sort of code before Percy kissed my cheek, and walked to Thalia. "Percy I saw what I did I had no control over it, I'm sorry..." "Hey its okay I understand." he spoke as he kissed her forehead, she cried harder and slowly tears slipped down Nico's and Percy's face. I walked to Percy and he placed his head on my shoulder. I turned to Nico and he hesitantly and carefully went into the hug. "We got you back, that's all that matters." Nico spoke, causing guilt to shoot through me.

"When did you know Nico?"
"I suspected something was off when you whispered the words in Percy's ear." he spoke. "after that I searched through every book, till I asked in Taturaus, Chronos said he knew, he also knows about the upcoming war and wants to help us fight for him and Atlas has never gotten on." he spoke. "So you set him free?!" Zeus snapped. "If it meant saving Thalia then yes. I would set him free a hundred times if it meant I could save her!" he snapped. "Besides Poseidon got his loyalty from somewhere." he added. Everyone turned to Poseidon who looked uncomfortable. Percy gasped drawing the attention away from his father "he has a vessel doesn't he and it's playing up." Nico nodded, "Luke is his true vessel, I summoned him for Chronos in return as thanks." Percy nodded and Thalia's tears came harder. "Luke."
"He won't be Luke anymore Thals." Nico spoke and Percy turned away. "If Chronos hurts Luke in anyway he's going back to Hell!" Percy snapped. Thalia nodded and Poseidon gasped. "Dad get out of my head!"
I don't think he did for Poseidon rolled his eyes.
