The Forbidden Land {A Pertemis Story}

Chapter 1: A Peaceful Life

Artemis' POV

"Enjoying your peace?" I asked Percy as I walked down the beach to where Percy is, laying on the sand. He sat up and looked at me.

"Hey, better use it while you can. Who knows when is the next time I can lay on the sand and just stare at the stars? Who knows, maybe this is the last time!" Percy told me seriously.

I chuckle and sat beside him. "Yeah, this could be the last day we get to stare at the star and do nothing."

I hope this peace could last. It has been one week and there is no attack, yet. Percy and Ally now live on Olympus with us. I don't even know how Ally did it. Somehow she manages to persuade my father into letting her and Percy stay on Olympus. They all think that Percy lived with Apollo and Ally, but in reality, he lives with me. And we didn't do anything, I swear on the river Styx. Everyone is enjoying the peace and living like it will be the last day of their life. Honestly, it reminds me of the black death the way everyone is living right now. Partying every single night.

The hunters are in Camp Half-Blood and Ally and Thalia is like instance best friend. She is either with Thalia or Apollo. Sometimes she talks with me as well and I learn more about her.

Percy lay down again and I lay beside him. "When do you think we should tell the others about our relationship?" I asked him.

The hunters already know. Apollo and Ally know as well. I don't know how my father will react to me dating a son of Poseidon though.

"I don't know," Percy replied to me. "Maybe after the war, so there isn't another problem for people."

"You think dating me is a problem?" I asked, fake hurt.

He sat up immediately, looking panicked. "No, no, no. That is not what I meant. I meant what will people think is they saw you, a maiden goddess, dating someone. I mean that would be a..."

I cut him off with a kiss. He immediately relaxes. I have to laugh at his face though. When we pull away, I told him. "I was just kidding."

He punches me playfully. I sat up and he looks at me, thinking. "Don't you wish this was forever?"

"Yeah," I nodded. I wish this could last forever. He moves closer to me and I put my head on his shoulder.

He started singing. I think the song describes our situation perfectly.

"[Percy, Artemis, Both]

Hmm yeah

Hey yeah

Can you imagine what would happen

If we could have any dream?

I'd wish this moment was ours to own it

And that it would never leave

Then I would thank that star

That made our wish come true (come true), oh yeah

Cause he knows that where you are

Is where I should be too

Right here, right now (yeah)

I'm looking at you and my heart loves the view

Cause you mean everything

Right here, I promise you somehow

That tomorrow can wait for some other day to be (to be)

But right now, there's you and me

If this was forever, what could be better?

We already proved it works

But that two-thousand one-hundred twenty-three hours
