Percy's POV

Clearwater, Florida

As Artemis flashed us all to my beach house, the Hunt looked very confused. As I sat on the couch in the living room all of the girls started glaring at me.

Artemis was no longer in her hunting gear we had arrived in she was now in a white baseball t with purple sleeves along with light washed shorts and white converse. I was wearing a white t-shirt with a black leather jacket, the key around my neck, a flannel around my waist, and dark washed leaned all tied together with light brown work boots (Outfits above).

"Hey Artemis can you iodinate know, maybe tell them where we are so they don't kill me." I suggest.

"Girls," Artemis started sitting next to me on the couch, "we are in Mason's beach house where I've been living the past 6 years."

"WHAT?" Phoebe yelled. "We thought you didn't remember us and that's why you didn't come back! But know you're telling us that you've known for the last 6 years?!"

"I didn't say that." She said glaring at the daughter of Ares.

"She didn't know who she was for the first 6 months," I said turning back to the TV.

"And who the Hades are you, boy? You're probably just trying to get Artemis to break her oath." Atlanta spat.

"I would never do that to her. I love Artemis more than anyone. She is my everything and I would give the world to be with her. Yes, she has known who she was for over 5 years, but did you ever considered she needed a break from reality? That she needed time? And I would NEVER break her oath unless she was willing. Hades I would wait forever for her!" I yelled back at the two now standing up.

"What do you know? I bet you are just like all the other pigs." Phoebe cocky stated.

"What do I know? Well, I know that everyone needs a break every once in a while. I know that every day Artemis was away from you she would still be checking up on you girls to make sure nothing back was happening. I know she wanted to bring you girls here so you could relax and be normal forever 1 day. And as for being like other males... My step-father used to beat me every day and lock me in closets until I was 12 years old. I took the beatings instead of letting my mother get them because she was my everything before I lost her. Now I agree most males are pigs and deserve your form of torture or whatever you do to them, but don't judge a book by its cover." I spat back at her. All the Hunters had there heads down with their eyes full of tears. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll leave you to talk."

"Thank you," Artemis said smiling slightly.

"If you need me just call," I said before going to the beach.

Artemis's POV

"As Mason said I have been with him for the last 6 years. And he was telling the truth when he said that I don't know who I was for the first 6 months. But the reason I remember is that of him. Once I remembered he started to bring me back to New York when he and I..."I swallowed a limp in the throat. "When he and I confessed that we had feelings for each other. Over the past few years, I have been the happiest I have been in millennia. He and I have traveled the world together and have told each other everything. He has become my rock. And as hard as it is to hear this, I love him and I hope you girls understand that before I tell you what happened before he and I came back." I looked around and saw all of my hunters starring at me and Thalia mention for me to go on. "He proposed to me. And I said yes."

Silence.

That's what I got after my huge confession.

After about 10 minutes of silence, I stood up as a tear escaped my eye and turn to leave, but was stopped by Atlanta and Phoebe hugging me. In a blink of an eye, the rest of the hunt was hugging me. We stayed like that with more tears falling down our faces for what seemed like forever, before Mason came back from his walk.

We broke apart and I went to him and hugged his side and snuggled into him.

"So I'm guessing you told them about us." He said while I laughed.

"Yeah, I told them, now it's your turn," I said smirking when he visibly paled and turned to my lieutenant.

Percy's POV

I turned towards Thalia and could feel the rest of the hunts eyes on me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes changing into my original form.

"Hey Thals," I said putting my hands in my pockets.

"P-Percy?" Thalia stuttered. "PERCY!" She screamed to which I ran out the front door. "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU KELP HEAD YOU ARE SO DEAD!" I ran to the beach and stopped in front of the Ocean. "You can't get away that easily Kelp head," Thelia stated.

She ran up to me and punch me in the face making my face snap one way and my hand immediately meet my jaw. She then hugged me like there was no tomorrow.

"Missed you too Thals," I said smiling.

"Where have you been?" She asked as we walked back to the beach house where everyone else was.

"Here mainly," I said

"Wait really? I should have known you were on a beach!" She exclaimed laughing as we made it inside.

I medically went back over to Artemis and kissed her on the cheek. The rest of the hunters were either still in shock or had an unreadable expression on their face. The first Hunter to come up to me approach Artemis and I was more than surprising.

"Milady..." Phoebe started. "I hate males. You of all people know what happened to me before I joined the hunt. But when I met Percy for the first time I was shocked by how friendly he was... Heck, he earned the trust of Zoe for Zeus sake!  If Zoe trusted him, I do too." She said smiling at the end.

Slowly all of the girls voiced their options, but they all ended the say as the first: With them approving of me.

"Thank you all for understanding," Artemis said smiling with tears of Happiness running down her beautiful face while she was snuggled back up into my side.

"So who wants to know what has happened the past 15 years?" I asked.
