The son of the gods.

Chapter 7

Percy's POV

I wake up early for my mission. Today the hunters can take care of themselves. Today no more pranks. No more pain. No more hunters.

For the first time in a while I'm happy. Ok well not skip the entire day happy but still more than usual.

I make sure all my gear is with me and start with a light jog towards the city.

Artemis' POV

I told all my hunters I'm going out today as well that Perseus will not be here and they have the day to themselves.

The real reason I sent Perseus on the mission to retrieve Athena's daughter is to see what type of person he is. And how he handles that type of situation. So that's why I'm following him.

I set up a spell that alerts me when he is awake. So when he got up and ready for the mission I too was preparing.

I feel his presence run into the forest in the direction of the city.

Percy's POV

I take out the slip to see where I'm supposed to be heading. I don't know where to go, but quickly get directions from the locals.

I felt Lady Artemis presence nearby and realise she's following me to see what I do.
I grin and start walking towards the house.

When I arrive the look of the house puts a damper on my mood. The lawn is uncut, beer bottles everywhere, the paint is peeling of the walls. In other words run down.

I can feel three men sitting in the living room and a small girl maybe 6 or 7 years old under the bed in the other room.

I walk to the door and without knocking kick in the door so hard it rips from it's hinges and flies across the room.

All three men jump to their feet beer bottles in hand completely forgetting about their pocker game.

" What are you doing in here? Leave now you peice of shit."

The first guy practically screams at me. All three of them is as fat as a walrus and reeks of alcohol.

In a calm but deadly voice I answer.

" Who is the girl upstairs?"

I just stay there in the doorway.

" None of your business!"

The second guy yells. I set my eyes aflame making me look like a demon. Also turning my voice to scary mode * thank you dad Hades *.( It almost sounds like he's talking double)

" I asked WHO IS THE GIRL UPSTAIRS!!!"

This time it's the third man that answers because the other two is cowering behind him almost urinating themselves.

" S-she is m-my niece. After her d-dad died she came to m-me."

" Did you hurt her?"

" N-no"

" Don't lie to me!!!"

" Ok ok yes we beat her!"

" Did you touch her?"

I growl this question.

" No." he states firmly.

I mentally sigh with relieve, at least they didn't touch her in that way.

Whilst I was thinking, the first man foolishly charges at me and swing his arm trying to throw a sloppy punch. Luckily my sixth sense alerted me and I sidestepped and cut his throat in one move.
