Percy Jackson - Guardian Of The Hunt (Pertemis)

ch-9) Reunion of Artemis and Percy

~~~~~three years later after Percy jumped into tartarus~~~

ARTEMIS POV:

I am shattered. I can't think of anyone besides Percy. I was fool enough to believe my two hunters who made me drive Percy away. 

I wouldn't have accepted the truth back then but I was in love with Percy.

From the moment we first met, I had known that he was not like other males. He was too loyal and caring. Even though the whole camp and in some way the hunters betrayed him he stayed loyal and told the gods not to punish them. 

The day all the gods, campers from both the camps and the hunters saw his memories, my dad announced that if Percy came back then he had no problem with me having a relation with Percy. And shockingly the hunters also approved of him.

This depressed me even more cause I was the one who made him go away. The roman camp was so pissed that they had broken connection with the greek camp. 

But now I was concentrating on a mission. My hunters had to find a mysterious man who had been killing large hoards of monsters that were our targets. He had suddenly appeared last year and since then, many demigods started coming to both the camps and to us, the hunters if they were abused girls.

All the kids described him as tall and muscular who killed the monsters or their abusive parents mercylessly and took care of them till they were ready to join the camps or the hunters.

They also said that he was sweet, kind and caring and called him their 'big brother'. They told their stories about how he saved them and how he killed the monsters easily. They looked up to him as their role model.

Whenever someone asked these kids the name of the person, they would give the same reply 'Slayer'.

We, the hunters were hunting for him from some time. Whenever we planned to clear some monsters, we would find them already dead. The man sometimes brought girls from abusive homes to us and would disappear before we could spot him.

We had camped in a large clearing beside a river and set up our tents. We always left a spot for one tent in the memory of Percy and prayed that he will return someday.  

soon everyone had done the work and had dinner. we were sitting around the camp fire while Phobe and Thalia were telling the others and the new girls about Percy Jackson and his first quest to retrive Zeus's lightning bolt. 

Our eyes were dropping and small girls were sleeping on the laps of the bigger girls. 

"Artemis!" Someone roared from outside the camp borders. the voice woke everyone up. We quickly brought out our bows and arrows to kill the monsters. They were standing on the other side of the clearing. They were about hundred and fifty monsters, surrounding the camp from three directions.

I knew few of us wont survive this battle but we had to kill them.

"Line up!" I yelled and raised my bow, aiming for one of the bigger monsters.

Suddenly a ball rolled towards the leader of the group. He picked it up and held in its palm. It exploded, disintegrating the goblin like creature. The monsters looked here and there wide eyed as if they were terrified. A cyclopes was dragged into the shadows by something. It screamed and a head toppled in front of us. It was of the cyclopes.

We were about to attack when a portal appeared in front of us. Out came a man wearing cloths of an assassian. The colour was darker than the darkest night. 

The smaller girls who had joined recently started squeling and jumping up and down. they clapped and chanted 'Big brother' again and again.

The man stood facing the monsters with two swords in his hands. He had an aura that could rival an Olympian.
