Chapter 11
Artemis' POV
"Phoebe why did you do that" I yelled "you can't just barge in like that and say that out of the blue"
"I'm sorry milady, but how does this relate to her, she's one of them, and how can you not hate her for that" she said
"I gave her my blessing as a child and she is now apart of my family, this family, and I was not planning on having anything mess that up, but you didn't have to go and do that" I said
"But she's one of them milady" she protested
"Exactly, she's one of them true and pure, and by you saying that, it messed up our change to calm her down" I said and then Poseidon flashed down
"POSEIDON GET OUT" I yelled and he stood firm, men they never learn. I kicked him out of the tent and shot an arrow at his spread legs.
"Sorry Artemis, but there is a storm brewing in the far east, and I feel my daughter in it's power" he said "why"
"I told her the truth, and then Phoebe told her what happened to her pack" I said not liking agreeing or talking to this male, but I would have to had made an agreement sooner or later with him to help find her.
"W-what milady?" I heard Phoebe's voice behind me
"Yes Persephone is---was the leader and alpha of Lycaon's pack, and I think that the Omega was her mate" I said
"How can that be true" Thalia asked coming up and then she glared at Poseidon who was looking at his feet letting a few tears loose.
"There's only one way to find out" I said "I'm gonna regret this. Aphrodite come down please"
There was a flash and Aphrodite was now standing in-front of us with all her annoying glamour and beauty that made her blind to others.
"Oooo now what would the mighty huntress want me fo--" she cut off and then tears formed in her eyes before she yelled at us for ruining perfect love even if it was two cursed beings and she melted into the grass making it more glossy and perfect.
"Well that proves it" I said deafly taking the anger of the love goddess.
"Great, and now we have to find her" Thalia said "why did it have to come to this"
"I don't think we need to" I said looking at the path of destruction "we just follow that"
"How did she cause this" Poseidon said looking at the trees killed in different ways. Some were aged to death, some were exploded by the fragments and pieces on the ground, some were muck from an unknown reason, and some were burned to a crisp like a flash fire invaded their lungs, which made no sense. Then the first pile of monster dust came across our sight, but it wasn't a pile it started a mile after the path of destruction ended and it wasn't just a single pile of dust or it wouldn't have been found.
"How could she do this, it would've taken us days to destroy all of the monsters here, and she did it in what a couple minutes" Thalia said on my right
"No more like a couple of seconds" I said "and she gave them no chance"
"We need to find her, I need to find her" Phoebe said and then Poseidon walked through the dust having seen something apparently, and we followed him though reluctantly to a little pile of upturned dirt, and it was protected by a barrier of some sort.
"This was where she buried the necklace, but she is still angry" he said and then his expression went blank "I-I can't feel her anymore, it's like she's been erased, but how"
"What" I yelled "we need to keep searching" and so we kept on searching for months, and with no prevail.
Percy's POV
I woke up near a lake and the first things that came to my mind were, how did I get here, where was I and, who was I, and someone was sitting on my chest. I looked up to see an old and frail woman pouting on my chest like she was trying to wake me up and I shook her off not caring about if I was rude.
"What are you doing sitting on me like that" I said
"What I tried waking you but nooo, you had to be out like a rock and I can't deal with those two by myself now can I" she said and I looked over to see two monsters coming at us with a great speed and I pulled at my bracelet and it turned into a silver bow which I then filled each of them with arrows till their chests were brimming with silver.
"Why aren't they dying" I growled turning into a wolf and biting one's head off and then breaking the neck of the other as I tore it's head off too and threw them into the water.
"Why. Won't. You. DIE." I roared and kicked their headless bodies into the river and then froze them in water. Then I turned to see the woman shivering with fear.
"This plan may not work out as well as I thought" I heard her say and I marched up to her and pushed her down putting my paw on her chest.
"Okay Juno, what have you done" I asked and she smiled before flashing away with her last words as a ghost in my head 'head west' head west to where, my death. I got no reply and that irritated me, I looked at the two monster bodies frozen in ice and sighed. Since I couldn't kill these monsters and probably anything else, then I might as well head west anyways. I turned and ran as fast as I could and stopped by a highway and I unfroze the bodies and I watched them shuffle around trying to find their heads, but I didn't watch them for long because a spear traveled over my head and I spun around and caught the second in my teeth before throwing it on the floor and looking around to see anything. Then I noticed that there seemed to be a sort of tint in the entrance of the tunnel and it was confusing.
I walked over the tunnel and shifted into my Nemean lion form and I watched the spears before seeing them disappear and the stupid monsters found their heads. I needed to get in there and quickly, but I couldn't go in as a lion or as a wolf so that left me as myself, but I couldn't let them see me for what I really was yet. I threw a little fit because I didn't want to put the glamour on, but it was short lived as I felt a sharp pain in my leg as I changed from a lion to my human-like form trying to put my glamour on. I fell off the tunnel top and onto the floor with my blood, which was the only thing that stayed red in my changes, landing on the sidewalk and I heard something snap.
"You are going to pay for that" I growled as I saw the two gorgons flying from the tunnel-top to the tunnel sidewalk, and I slowly got to my feet and then felt a pinch in my back and I saw a bronze spear protruding from my chest. Why wasn't I dead yet I didn't know, but it was probably the exact same reason for why they weren't dead after I pretty much tore them apart. I still had my glamour on surprisingly but I couldn't make an attempt to break the shaft because it was completely bronze and I didn't want them to see the strength I had. I slowly took it out while eyeing the two gorgons looking at it and me with disgust and when it was out fully I gathered a rainstorm and the sky answered to my call washing the blood away and healing my wounds. I dropped he spear letting it hit the floor with a clang and then pulled at my bracelets making them into two half-arm length knives and I smiled at the two gorgons who had faces of horror on and they advanced on me thinking they could win.
"You cannot kill us, that has already been decided from our little incident back there" the one with a non ripped up grocery store shirt on said
"Okay if that was a little thing, then this shouldn't hurt at all" I said and then I swung one of them lazily knowing that they would do something to block it and the hand that came up to block it was cut off along with the head, which I quickly grabbed before blocking the claws of the other enraged on and cutting off her head as well before covering their eyes with ripped cloth from their bodies, which were now blindly swiping at each-other and me. I put down the heads and then cut the bodies into pieces, and then I swiped them into the road with my foot and their pieces couldn't come back together due to them being crushed underfoot, or by cars speeding past. I grabbed the heads and summoned water to punch them far, far away and they landed in the middle of the lake still with the blindfold on, and I turned to the tinted shield, and touched it. It rippled and I pushed my hand through before going through and being met by two spears in my face.
"Hey, woah" I yelled as they held me back, but I tried to push away the spears but the two a male and a female by their smells pushed them further and threatened to puncture skin.
"Who are you and why are you here" the male asked
"What I'm one of you guys. I'm a demigod like you, so please put down the spears before you puncture something important like earlier" I saw the girl wince a little when I said this and then I breathed in relief when they put down their weapons.
"Yeah sorry about that" she said "I didn't think that you would get in the way"
"Follow us" the male said and he turned as did the girl and they lead me to a door in the side of the tunnel.
"Where does this lead" I asked not wanting to step in for some reason, it was like my body would think that it would be very painful
"To our camp, which you will tell no one about" the girl turned around and put her spear at my neck, which I just pushed away again.
"I won't, don't worry, again I am like you guys" I followed them in not thinking about my instincts earlier to not go in without caution, but nope my mind overrode that. As soon as I stepped through the door my body burned with excruciating pain making me fall over for a second, and my vision became hazy as I started to get up again and I felt a hand on my back.
"What happened to you" it was the girl, and I was sweating, yay.
"I'm a little nauseous right now and I don't feel like that helped" I said "oh yeah I never got your names"
"Hazel" the girl said
"Frank" the guy who didn't seem to care about me said it's like he knew there was something not normal with me.
"Okay then" I said looking around trying to push down the pain this place caused me "where are we"
"This is Camp Jupiter, and you aren't from around here" Frank said eyeing me
"Nope" I said popping the 'p'.
Thanks for reading and the last part of this got a little sloppy but I am going into a writer's block but I will try to do some of my stories even in it, 2019 words, 5-20-18, bye.
