Percy's Hunters

Chapter 3

Percy woke up in his father's palace. Confused as he had never been there before and looked around at the waves and horses moving across the walls, that was when he remembered.

It was as if he was holding the sky again, the weight of the world pressing on him from all sides. Broken sobs resounded from his slumped figure. His world was falling to pieces in front of him if he had just known then none of this would have happened.

"I-It's all my f-fault," he said through the sobs " they a-are all dead b-because of me"

Hours passed but Percy didn't care, he just stopped feeling anything. If only to make the pain go away.

---------------Random-Olympian-Cafe-

"He seemed so hurt," Hestia said frowning at the devastated expression on the son of Poseidon even when he had been sleeping.

"He is the only boy that I care about other than Apollo, don't tell Apollo that though. There is no way I am letting him feel that bad!" Artemis stated looking over to the other two gods.

"Then the decision is unanimous, we will help Percy through all of his woes" Hera declared sounding regal but looking like she had been dragged down miles of bad road.

"Why do you even care about Percy?" Artemis asked.

"I-I don't really have graceful sons. Both Ares and Hephaestus are rowdy and stupid" Hera said disdainfully "I had watched Percy at his quests and became protective of him, mainly taking my anger on his deceitful traitor of a girlfriend. Cows are very useful when handled properly!"

Artemis and Hestia started laughing and Hera felt confused "what-why are you laughing," she asked quizzically.

"You sent cows after annabitch," Artemis said snorting with laughter.(I have no problem with Annabeth or Percabeth but this is an Annabitch fic so if you don't like it why are you still reading).

"That is kinda funny, I guess," Hera said before letting out a chuckle at the name Annabitch, it suits her.

Hestia even though she was all hearth and home loved the nickname "Annabitch, perfect" she said before continuing to laugh.

The other minor gods and deities were marveling at the sight of 3 major gods laughing and cracking jokes, some of them theorized the world might be ending. But as this had never happened on the previous times the world had ended they were in uncharted territory.

--------------Poseidon's-Palace-

Percy lay there staring at the moving images on the walls for so long that they turned into nonsensical patterns to his bloodshot eyes. He sat up when he heard the door open "oh, dad it's your palace I guess" Percy said in a monotone "thanks" he said with no real emotion.

"Son, I-I," Poseidon said his voice cracking when he tried to imagine the pain his son was going through "I want you to stay with me in Olympus" he made out through the pain of seeing his son's usually bright face emotionless.

"Sure, whatever" Percy said slumping back down and staring at the wall again. This answer felt like a physical blow to Poseidon as he looked at his son, staring at the wall as if it was the only thing keeping him sane. The thing that really hurt was it probably was the only thing keeping him sane.

"Bye son, I will call you for dinner later," Poseidon said before storming out to collect the blond that did this and send her to the fields of punishment for some special torture. 

Usually gods wishing to harm demigods would have to ask their parents first, but Annabeth was a mortal now and by extension fair game. He was going to have to talk to Hades about what punishment the scum that cracked his son's soul would befall.

They would both have a field day with that, especially since Hades was helped out by Percy in finding a lost present for Persephone on her birthday.

"Let's go see him," Artemis said, staring at her newfound friends.

"I agree," Hera said while Hestia grabbed them both and flashed them to Percy's room.

--------------Percy's-Room-

The goddesses appeared making the unprepared demigod fall out of his bed.

"Are you all right?" the three goddesses said in unison freaking out the boy on the floor.

"Is talking simultaneously going to be a thing now, and try to warn me next time you suddenly appear?" Percy said a little bit of his old-self peeking through just enough to produce his signature sass, "cuz I already have way too many bruises, and falling off the bed will not help that".

Then Percy remembered how he got the bruises and went silent, trying to push down his feelings.

The goddesses didn't like the fact that he was bottling everything up. Hera surprised everyone by sitting next to him and pulling him into a hug "Percy it is not good to bottle up your feelings like that! But just give it time, you will heal, it will still hurt, but you will heal" Hera said as Percy began to cry into her dress.

Hestia followed suit then Artemis, and before long Percy was in the middle of the three just crying his eyes out and being comforted by them. 

After he fell asleep the three women tucked him in bed and left to find out how to make blue food, leaving a very confused Poseidon when he got home and saw three goddesses cooking blue pancakes and various other blue confections.
