When the Moon Got Amnesia

The Hunters

Artemis POV

I was awoken by the sound of someone opening a door, loudly. But, I was still wrapped in Percy's embrace, so that meant someone else was at the door. Percy, who sleeps like a log, by the way, was awoken by the intruder yelling at him. "How dare you defile our mistress, boy!" Ah, ok, so it's my hunters. Shit, it's my hunters.

Percy sat up groggily. "What? Who? What? Where? What? Huh, oh you're Arty's hunters. Wait, Shit! You're the Hunters of Artemis."

"Yes, boy. Now, answer, Why are you in bed with our mistress?"

"Jeez, you make that sound so wrong. I was sleeping. So was Artemis."

"Atalanta," I tried to calm one of my most fierce huntresses. "He did not bed me. We honestly just slept."

This time, Phoebe, another one of my eldest hunters spoke up. "Lady Artemis, how could you?! Your oath, you're our leader, to go against men, and to leave them behind!" What followed her exclamation was some very harsh wording that made tears fill my eyes. I looked down at the floor, and Percy held me from behind.

"Huntress, I understand why you're upset, but you don't know why Artemis acted the way she did, and honestly, it isn't your place to judge an Olympian Goddess for something when you do the same."

"What are you talking about, boy?"

"Phoebe Dallas, right?"

"Y-yes, but, what does that have to do with anything?"

"I remember you, from the night of capture the flag before the quest to save your mistress. You used some tactics that Artemis definitely wouldn't approve of, Ms. Dallas."

My head was spinning. What was Percy talking about? "Percy, what're you talking about?"

"I'll tell you later, Artemis. It would damage the hunters greatly if they heard."

The hunters left without asking, and we made ourselves presentable. I kissed Percy on the cheek. "So, what did you mean when you were talking about tactics Phoebe used?"

Percy sighed, "Artemis, you're gonna hate this, just a heads up." He took a deep breath. "She promised on the Styx to have sex with a lot of the male campers if they would play bad. I mean, you would've won even if she didn't do that, but ...... " He trailed off.

"And, Percy, how do you know of this?" My pulse quickened.

"Because she approached me with this, proposal. I declined immediately, and she said if I told you she would hurt some of the younger campers. I swear on the Styx what I said was true."

I took a deep breath, resting my head on his chest. I sighed and thanked him for telling me. Walking out of the room with Percy beside me, I announced, "Phoebe. I have fallen for a male, but the things you've done are despicable, and represent everything we hunters are against. Phoebe Dallas, I hereby remove you from my hunters, to never be accepted again. You will be teleported to New York City, your memories of the Greek World erased." With that, I snapped my fingers, teleporting her to New York City.

"Now, to the rest of my hunters. You may leave if you want, to go to a place of your choosing. But, in light that I myself am in the company of a man, I have made a new oath that allows you to date, so long as you know they're the kind of person you wanna spend the rest of your life with." Every hunter took the new oath.

"M'lady, how did you fall for Percy?" Thalia asked.

"Long story short, I lost my memory, fell for him, got my memory back, and still loved him."

Most of the hunters were confused, so after a long explanation, they finally understood. It was decided that while things were figured out on Olympus, my hunters would be staying at Camp Half-Blood. Flashing my hunters back to Camp, Percy and I set to work packing.

After we packed everything, I grabbed Percy's hand, flashing us to my palace. All the equipment was in a room I had for hunting/camping equipment. We were in my bedroom.

Percy grabbed my hand and spun me around to face him. "Artemis. I love you, but I'm mortal now, so I can't be here."

I smiled. "If you're with an Olympian no one's gonna say anything. And, what do you mean?"

Percy frowned. "When Poseidon disowned me, I was turned fully mortal, but clear-sighted. Full mortals aren't allowed on Olympus." I kissed him on the lips, and as his arms were going around my waist, a golden apple from Mt. Tam appeared on the bed with a note attached. It read,

Perseus Jackson,

You never boasted for getting past Ladon, and stopped our home from becoming a beacon for monsters. A little reward for your actions.

-Hesperides

I smiled, "Eat it, Percy. Now." Percy nodded, taking a bite out of the apple. After he finished it, he passed out. Luckily, he was at the side of my bed already, so he fell onto the bed. I disposed of the apple core, crawling into the bed next to Percy.

Subconsciously, he wrapped his arms around me. I smiled. I was his and he was mine.

I awoke to Percy nuzzling my neck. I moaned, rubbing my eyes and pushing him off. Percy smiled, "I think I found a way to wake you up, Arty." I groaned, rolling over to go back to sleep. Percy picked me up and spun me around many times,
dumping me off on the bed.

Dizzily, I said, "I think that'll work." Percy smirked and grabbed a set of clothes, going to the bathroom to change. I snapped my fingers and I was clean, in a fresh set of clothes. About 5 minutes later, Percy came out of the bathroom with a bundle of dirty clothes. I pointed to the laundry basket and he nodded, dropping them in.

"You've been gone for over a week to them, you should probably go tell them that you're alive and stuff."

"You're coming too then. Also, should we tell them about our relationship? If so, how?"

"Hmmm, what if we just acted how we normally did, and that'd break the ice."

"It's a stupid idea, but I can't think of anything else. Come on." I practically dragged him to the front door. Percy kissed me on the cheek, taking my hand in his own. With that, we walked out, headed to Olympus. Thirteen pairs of eyes were drawn to our interlocked hands when we stepped into the throne room.
