Chapter 5

Percy POV:

I flashed into my Mom's apartment to see Echinda and the Chimera in my mother's apartment, The two of them were hovering over the lifeless body of my mother and there was a very large pool of blood. I saw red

"Get away from her i screamed i went into a frenzy i unleashed a huge shot of godly energy at the two enemies making them go flying. "You will not touch her!" by this point my eyes were glowing a sea green.

"You are to late!" Echinda squealed with glee. "She is already on the way to the underworld."

I screamed she was going to really get it now i was going to tear her apart limb by limb and send her to hades the hard way but not before i figured out who had sent this bitch. I uncapped riptide and lept at her only to be met midair by a diamondback rattlesnake head. I snarled aloud I wasn't going to be stopped by a damned mister no matter which monster it was I was going to rip all three of its stupid heads off even if i died in the process. The Chimera turned to me and unleashed a stream of red hot fire I stopped since i had Hestia's blessing and it looked in surprise at the fire that was frozen coming out of its mouth.

"You want to play with fire?" I half yelled half asked "Well lets see how you like being burned!" i redirected the stream of fire back down its throat and its eyes quickly widened to the size of saucers. I released the fire once the look on it's face telling me that it wouldn't be trying that again anytime zoo, We squared off claws to sword. I attacked fist swiping straight for my chest i managed to roll out of the way at the last second i came up and slashed at it's body only to have my sword stopped by its rattlesnake head catching it as it wrenched it out of my hands. Now i was weaponless against one of the strongest monster in mythology but i wasn't even scared i was downright pissed. i sprinted past the monster and dove for my sword and immediately felt a pain in my leg and the burning of venom entering my system.

ARTEMIS POV:

I flashed to Percy's location and found the place in a complete massacre i arrived just in time to see the chimera pull riptide out of Perseus's hands and throw it across the room i knew the idiot was going to try something stupid judging by the look in his eyes so i watched and waited wondering what he was going to do. I saw him dash past the creature in a desperate attempt to retrieve his sword he got there unscathed but that is when the tragedy struck as i watched in horror as the Chimera tail sunk its fangs into Perseus's leg. That poison had brought down many of my hunters over the years and i knew exactly what it was capable of. It wouldn't be long before Percy would feel the effects of the poison.

PERCY POV:

I heard someone screaming my name as I was bit

"Perseus" I would know that voice anywhere it was Artemis and now she was here so I had to defend her too.

"Artemis get out of here," I screamed "I can't cover your back and fight it all at once!" this made her mad and i got to see her beautiful silver eye flash in anger it was a sight i would love to see again except that my staring nearly got me bitten again.

ARTEMIS POV:

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT BOY HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO ME LIKE I REALLY NEED HIS HELP TO FIGHT A FEW MEASLY MONSTERS HE SHOULD BE BEGGING ME FOR HELP.

That being said i could help but blush a little after i noticed him staring at me as i was angry his mouth slightly agape he was very cute like that then i realized that his staring had him distracted from the main problem at the moment as the idiot barely dodged the rattlesnake head coming at him at terminal velocity. with that to clear my head i turned toward Echidna.

"You will pay for what you did to her." I say more angry that she made Percy upset than anything seriously what is wrong with me i shouldn't care if a male is upset I'm a virgin man-hating goddess for Zeus's sakes. I stopped as i heard a large yowl behind me and saw Perseus on top of the Chimera riding it like a bucking bronco barely holding on to Riptide i swear if the only connection to Zoe in the world is hurt by this moron i will let the hunter's do waterer they want to him for years and years. I was brought back to my senses when i had to block a knife coming towards my head by Echidna. I growled as i lunged at the monster.

PERCY POV:

I was holding on for dear life and i wasn't going to last much longer hey holding on to a bucking Chimera isn't as easy as you think i have no idea how i wasn't bitten by the tail again but judging from the pain working its way up my body i wasn't complaining at all. I somehow managed to lose my hold on Riptide which was a blessing and a curse the blessing was now it was easier to hold on to the Chimera the curse being now i had no way to kill the thing. That's when i heard a voice screaming my name.

Artemis POV:

I was fighting Echidna when i heard the sound of metal hitting the floor i looked on the ground and saw Riptide laying there i turn toward Percy and scream his name

"PERCY!" I make sure he's looking and throw him one of my hunting knives he catches it and raises the knife.

PERCY POV:

I caught Artemis's knife and brought it down on the Chimera's head watching the monster slowly dissolve into nothing

"YOU KILLED MY SONNY" Echidna shouted as she pushed down on me with her knife i looked over and saw that Artemis was rubbing her eyes and I had no idea why i pushed up against Echidna with all of my strength which wasn't very much with the poison and threw her off of me i then threw Artemis's knife impaleing her one arm to the wall of the apartment. I quickly grabbed Artemis's other knife and did the same the monster at this point was howling in pain and i was standing there with a cold look on my face.

"Who sent you?!" I asked

"I'll never tell" She spat back

"So be it" came my reply i raised my hand she looked at me questioningly before screaming in agony as i boiled the water in her blood i let it cool before asking again "WHO SENT YOU?"

"IT WAS GAIA" she replied crying openly now "WE WERE TOLD TO COME KILL YOUR PARENTS IF SHE FAILED BY HER."

I looked at her coldly before picking up Riptide and stabbing her in the chest That was when I felt a hand on my shoulder

"I'm sorry Percy" Artemis said but at that moment i became extremely dizzy and fell over the last thing i remember is someone resting my head in their lap and Artemis's sweet voice screaming for her twin.
