Betrayed: A Percy Jackson Story

The Return

Third Person POV: 

Phoebe would not come out of her room. She concealed herself in there and refused to eat or drink. She was emotionally crushed from the death of her boyfriend. Artemis and Thalia attempted to break down her door to get her to eat at least, but their effort was met by a volley of knives, arrows, and swords. 

Phoebes POV: 

They took him away from me. I screamed and kicked for them to let me go, to hold my boyfriend one last time. To kiss his head one last time before they came and took me away. Why was he dead? Why do the fates like to screw up my life? I miss him. I needed him. He's gone.

Third Person POV: 

Leia was disappointed and angered with her friends hunt. She had to keep Finn from going on a rampage and killing all of them. She approached Artemis. She needed to talk to her before something like this happened again. 

"Artemis. We need to talk." 

"YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND I WILL KILL YOU." Finn raged. He stepped out behind Leia and took out his blaster. Artemis was shocked but it was quickly replaced with anger. She threw a hunting knife at Finn's head, but he blasted it right out of the air. 

"HOW DARE YOU and your HUNT KILL HIM! HE DID NOTHING WRONG." Finn yelled even louder. Artemis and her hunters backed away in fear. Instead of continuing, Finn just broke down on the ground and cried. The hunters looked at Finn with pity and guilt. He just lost his best friend, and therefore, he would be like this. 

"Look at me. Artemis, you said we could trust you. You promised me you wouldn't let your hunters kill another one of us. You told me that you respected these men." Leia said deadly calm. 

"Leia i'm-" Artemis began. She was cut off instantly by a screaming Chewbacca. 

"AGARGAGAHRARAGRARAHRARARAGRARHA!" He raged. The wookie charged forwards with his crossbow and fired a shot at Dianna, the offending huntress. She fell to the ground in pain. Thalia and Marley rushed her off to the medical tent. 

"HOW DARE YOU! YOU BIG HAIRY CREATURE! COME HERE!" Artemis screeched. She was cut off with a blaster fire from Han-Solo. 

"Why you? You killed another one of us?" Han said angry. "If your going to attempt to kill Chewbacca, than your either really dumb or just wanting to pick a fight." 

"You. I trusted you. I thought you as my friend." Leia began. 

Artemis drew her knives and charged at Leia. She didn't want to, but it was like something possessed her. Leia drew her lightsaber and they rushed to meet each other. Leia slashed at Artemis. The lightsaber cut through her hunting knives like they were nothing. 

Before Leia could continue, an arrow fired from behind her. She saw a silver arrow aimed at her stomach. She closed her eyes, ready for the end when all of a sudden, the arrow stopped. 

Percy Jackson stood there, his arm outstretched and with a look of concentration on his face. The arrow then flew off into a nearby tree. A small green creature emerged, along with Luke Skywalker, some old dude, and a black guy who held a purple lightsaber. Rey came out, followed by R2-D2, C-3PO, and BB-8. 

"What is going on?" the old guy asked. 

"I'm not sure, Master Kenobi, they seem to be fighting about the death of the Resistance Pilot." said the Black guy. 

"The pilot dead, I think not Master Windu." said the green creature. 

"What?" Leia asked. "Yoda what do you mean?"

"Not dead, the pilot is. In the place you fear most, his true form resides" The images faded off. Rey and the three droids ran up the the commotion. 

'His true form, Huh. Whatever that means". Han-Solo thought. Chewbacca roared, signalling his agreement. 

"It means his true body and soul are somewhere else. Godly magic allows it." Artemis stated. 

According to ancient law, godly powers allow one to transport a body and create a real, live, vision of it. It can sometimes be so powerful, the image gains texture and feels like the real thing.

"If you and your hunt don't bring back Poe in 72 hours, then the Resistance will treat you as an enemy." Leia said. 

"But Leia, I didn't-" Artemis began. She had to explain it could be a vision of mist. How someone could have made Dianna think she had committed the murder. However, Leia didn't want to hear it.

"No. You are their goddess, and therefore responsible." With that, Leia and the Resistance walked away.

Artemis POV:

I was shocked Leia and me almost fought. I began to cry right there. I just found my best friend, and I could have killed her. 

'Why did I feel like something else was taking over my body?' I asked myself. It felt like I was watching the scene unfold and not being able to do anything about it. I put those thoughts to the side. There are more pressing concerns. 

I walked away. Right now, I needed to find Poe. Phoebe would want to go, but I couldn't let her. She needed to heal incase Poe wasn't found. 

I began to think of a plan. I needed to get Poe back. Not only to save Phoebe but to save my friendship. I was pacing in my cabin, when I heard the creak of the door. Percy walked in and took a seat. He is the only male I allow in my cabin, and he usually only comes to see Thalia. 

"Artemis, what's wrong?" he asked. 

"I'm scared. I need help." I responded in a whisper. Percy stood up and walked over to me and engulfed me in a hug. I would have pushed back, but I needed it. The walls I had put up for so many years begun to crumble. I began to cry into his chest. He hugged me tighter and kissed the top of my head. 

"Percy, what do I do? Help me. I need help." I begged in between tears. 

"Hey look at me. We are gonna figure this out. Ok?" he responded. 

I looked at him, sea green bearing into silver. My teary eyes locked with his. I looked at him and leaned in. He looked at me scared. I moved closer and he closed his eyes. I briefly put my lips to his and looked at him. His face was one of pure horror. I looked at him again and saw his eyes were looking behind me. Thalia stood fuming with Rey. 

*Line Break*

"Emperors" POV:

I can't believe the plan failed. The Resistance pushed us back. I was disappointed in my troops and in my generals. They failed me. I needed to step up if I wanted to win this war. I gave an order that would change the world. 

"My lords, the metal and steel has been imported. The magma is being pumped from this planet as we speak." Hissed a Hydra. 

"Very good. It will end soon." Tartraus responded. 

"Yes, Yes it will."
