APOLLO

Everything was quiet.

I furrowed my brows, looking around the empty field.

A flash erupted, and I closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes and was surprised at what I saw.

I stand in front of all demigods, watching as a familiar face march towards camp with the purpose of destroying it

"No" I whispered with horror "It can't be..."

I felt tears prickling my eyes as I watched my sister stand in front of camp with hordes of monsters behind her; her face sneering down at us

My vision.

It came true.

"No..." Hades breathed out, looking at Artemis with disbelief

He turned to face me "What happened?! Why is Artemis standing there?!!"

I shook my head and bit my lips to stop the cries from coming out

"Father?" Hermes turned to Zeus

Zeus shook his head "We don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?!" Hera screeched "Zeus, your daughter is standing right there!!"

"I. Don't. Know!!" Zeus yelled out, looking pained "Apollo told me about a vision, and I didn't believe him so I took us here to see if what he said was true"

"Apollo?" Hestia faced me "Dear... what happened? It's not like your sister to side with the enemy"

I shook my head, biting my lips hard "I don't know. Something must have happened. Artemis wouldn't leave us for End."

"I know" Percy chimed in, looking at Artemis with sadness

"What?!" I turned to face him and grasped his shoulder "Tell us!! Why did my sister betrayed us?!!"

"I see..." Percy looked at me with shocked eyes "You didn't see that far, didn't you?"

I shook my head and clutched his shoulders tightly before shaking him "No, I didn't see anything past this. My visions... just stopped after it showed Artemis. Now tell me why my sister betrayed us?!!"

"She didn't betray us" Percy laid a hand on head and caressed it gently, as if trying to give me comfort

"She didn't?!" Athena spluttered "Do you not see what is in front of you?! Artemis is standing with the monsters!! She betrayed us!! For how long, I do not know, but it does not change the fact that she is a traitor that needs to be taken down!!"

"She's not herself!!" Percy snapped "For just one moment, can you stop thinking that you know everything!! It's frustrating to work with someone who thinks that what they say is right and knowledgeable every single time, when truly it does not help at all!!"
