The Broken Hero (ON HOLD)

Chapter 11

Phoebe's PoV

It was about time that Lady Artemis found someone who is truly meant for her. I think she should confront the rest of the hunters about it. I mean I like Percy but some hunters even have a crush on him, I think that's too far. Although Artemis deserves Percy, he should prove how much he loves Artemis or even if he does love her. I should to Milady, I slowly dragged myself out of the comfy bed and slipped on a jumped and some shoes.

I walked up to her tent and peeked in, I shouldn't intrude but she may be asleep and I don't want to disturb Percy, I feel so bad for him. I pulled myself together and saw Artemis leaning of Percy, I watched curiously. She placed a firm kiss on his mouth causing her to blush. She suddenly straightened and legged it over to her bed. I glared at Percy's face.

I looked up for my gaze to be met with an elated Artemis, I stared back. She smiled and I snarled. She tiptoed over to me and I dragged her to the edge of the forest.
"HOW?!" I shouted "You're a maiden goddess,"
"I thought you were happy," Artemis said sadly
"I do! But this is too far!" I said glaring "I want you to be happy but this is too much!"
"Phoebe, try to understand," she said
"I am trying! You shouldn't be doing that! I know you love him but please, the hunters need to trust him," I reasoned
"Ok, I'll stay away from him," she stated and I nodded
"Get some sleep, Milady," I smiled at her before going back to my tent and crawling into bed.

Artemis PoV

I stood there in shock and just stared at my feet, Phoebe didn't want me to be near Percy? Do I want to be? What am I supposed to do? Just follow your instincts, they always help you! But I want to follow my heart! Instinct! Heart! Instincts! Heart!
"STOP!" I screamed falling to the floor and cradled myself into a ball.

A twig snapped next to me and I bolted upwards. A figure stumbled towards me, they tripped over themselves and lay on the floor crawling towards me. Blonde curls. Grey eyes. Annabeth! I scrambled backwards, I looked around for anything sharp to protect myself with. She outstretched a hand.
"Help me," she croaked
"W-Why should I? After what you did to Percy!" I growled
"I can explain, it wasn't me, please help me," she explained and the urgency in her voice made me heal her. I looked at her and she had two greys in her eyes one trying to keep the other back. I realised that she was being controlled. I gasped and picked her up. I walked over to a cave I knew about and lit it up and made a comfy bed appear.

I set her down and sat next to her, she rested her against the wall and started to say something.
"Sorry what?" I asked
"I said that I need to explain to you," she replied
"What's with the two colours in your eyes?" I asked
"Let me explain everything," she said
"Ok,"
"I was walking to the park to meet with Percy because we were meant to have a day out and something hit me really hard in the chest and I fell backwards. I looked up and I was myself from the inside but it was watching myself from a screen, I could see everything I was doing and head what I was doing but I couldn't control it. Then a voice spoke and said 'hello little hero,' I growled back and the voice just replied 'You will be the downfall of this hero, do not try to fight,' and all I said in response was 'You can't make me do anything,' and then the voice laughed 'Who are you?' I asked and the voice just replied 'Your downfall,' and after that I saw myself throw Percy into a hole that had appeared, I tried to fight as hard as I could but couldn't do anything. After that I watched myself torture Percy, and I couldn't do anything, if I had fought harder then I could of been able to get him out earlier.

If I had tried, after Percy escaped which was only three days ago, the voice started to taunt me and I fell for the trick losing the whole control of my body, and I couldn't do anything. I was possessed and I tried so hard to fight against it but the force inside wouldn't budge. Slowly I realised that if I tire the force then I could take control, so I started to hit the sides of my head and do anything I could. I slowly reasoned the fact that this was impossible and I needed to tell Percy, after Percy escaped and I was sent to go after him I fought harder and now I finally have full control but not for long. I don't want this, help me, Artemis please," she explained and begged the last part. I felt sympathy for her and I pulled her into a hug.

I don't know who's controlling her but I would do anything in my power to help her.
