Monsterous Day

~Thalia POV~

Artemis just killed this man who tried to heal me! What was she thinking? Before she said anything she went toward the man and took off his hood, only to find that this person was none other but the person whom I saw drowning in lava, Percy….

Tears filled my eyes as Artemis called Apollo. She then flashed all three of them to Olympus.

~TIME SKIP~

I was thinking about Percy when Artemis arrived and said: "I am going to stay in Olympus so Take care of the hunters."

~Artemis POV~

I was shocked when my father said that I was gonna stay and look after Perseus, But still, I was the cause so I had to agree to his logic.

I went to tell Thalia that I had to stay in Olympus.

I came back and sat next to Perseus. He was good-looking enough that any normal mortal would fall for him but not me. I do not hate him and I do not like him either.

I still think that is why that Athena spawn left him. It was extremely strange that this girl acted like a typical male. I have gone camping Half-Blood once or twice but they do not seem much mournful except a few like Chiron and few kids.

TIME SKIP 2 WEEKS

I was nearly asleep when I was bought back to sense by breaths of Percy. I quickly called Apollo and others. Apollo came running to help Percy. We were all sent out of the room. IN a few hours, Apollo came out and told us that Percy was now out of danger, and now people can talk to him.

Poseidon and Hestia rushed inside in a second while others went inside normally. Poseidon and Hestia sitting on either side of Percy both holding his hands and asking him how he was feeling.

I smiled looking at how Percy had a place in the heart of Aunt Hestia. Then father came forward and said "Perseus, you have helped our children a lot. Could we repay you by making a god? I am sure that you have no other reason to which ties you to the mortal world, err since err, that lava accident…

Percy frowned, "Again uncle, I am very thankful for this offer but, no." At this, my father objected "why?" Percy calmly answered "Uncle, I am honoured and all, but I don't want to be an immortal as they are tied up by rules and regulations. I want to live without these regulations thus I am denying Immortality."

At this Athena jumped and said, "That is not a problem, I am sure that we do not have a god for demigods, I am sure that God can be the only one who least bounded by the rules of the fates."

Percy glared at her, "ok, but I don't want to be held by any rules." "Ok that's enough!" shouted Poseidon "let him have some rest and Zeus, respect his decision!" Everyone agreed and then we all left.

~A FEW HOURS LATER~

~3RD PERSON POV~

Percy had been released from Hospital when Artemis appeared in front of Percy. "Err, Perseus?" she asked, "yes Lady Artemis." He answered. "Could you please come with me to camp, my lieutenant, Thalia wants to meet you. She hasn't talked to anyone much since you disappeared and now she has been worrying about you since we found out about you. Please come and meet her."

Percy then flashed near the camp of the hunters. While flashing, Artemis accidentally sprained her ankle. In the nick of time, Percy caught her preventing the fall. Artemis wasn't able to walk.

Percy closed his eyes and brought flames to his hands. He brought his hands close to her ankle and started healing it. And when it was almost over, he heard the shriek of Artemis and saw 4 Laistrygonian giants. One of them was holding Artemis from the back in such a way that she was not able to move her hands. He held her so tightly that her bones might crack if he held her more tightly.

Percy got into action. He jumped onto the first giant and punched it so fast the in few seconds there were 2 big holes on its chest. The second one, before it could attack kicked it on the behind making it fall. The 3rd and 2nd giant attacked Percy together and so Percy created two big hands made of water and made the grab the giants. Percy quickly made the giants burst, spilling all their internal organs. As Percy turned towards the last giant, a spear rested at his throat.

The giant had brought his spear pointing at Percy. It grumbled "let us take the goddess kid, this goddess has destroyed a lot of the monsters of our kin. We will finish her off and make her fade." The fiery sea-green ocean in Percy's eyes turned into a tsunami. But Percy was now vulnerable as if he tried doing something, he might get the goddess harmed. Then Percy had an idea, he made a spark that landed on the monster's clothes. This made the giant drop the spear and Artemis. Percy ran and caught Artemis. Then he used his powers and created a tornado of fire that trapped the giant in itself. The tornado then disappeared with the giant itself.

Percy then helped Artemis to walk to the camp of hunters. As Percy reached, all hunters had their bows on the mark, ready to fire. Then Artemis weakly cried "Lower your bows, hunters!" Then Thalia came through the crowd "Lady Artemis, what is a male doing here? Why are you leaning on him? Who is..." She then saw Percy And started stuttering "P…Percy? I….Is t…that y…you?" And then Percy answered in his sarcastic reply "of course, not I am Leo!"

Then Thalia ran towards Percy Hugging him to death. She kept crying on Percy's shoulder while Percy tried to calm her down.

~ARTEMIS POV~

Percy saved me From Laistrygonian giants and saved me from falling. He then healed me and then refused to accept a thank you. How can a boy be this kind and helpful? He is certainly different from others.

He also helps me to walk. I don't know why am I feeling so cosy when holds me? We now reached my camp I had to stop my hunter from shooting Percy down again. And then Came Thalia with her complaints about a boy in our camp. She started "Lady Artemis, what is a male doing here? Why are you leaning on him? Who is...?" She then saw Percy And started stuttering "P…Percy? I….Is t…that y…you?" And then Percy answered in his sarcastic reply "of course, not I am Leo!" Thalia kept crying on Percy while he tried to stop her from crying.

Other hunters were smiling as they knew that Percy and Talia had a Brother-sister relationship. But somehow, there was something in my heart that was making me feel uneasy.

Then Thalia backed away, her eyes red. She shouted "why did you have to leave and try diving into lave?! Why did you have to leave us alone? I had been so sad that you had died and you then come back, get hit by an arrow, and then come back from the hospital and say that you are LEO??" Thalia generated electricity around her arm and punched Percy. Percy went far away. I was about to stop Thalia but then she threw bolts of lightning at Percy stopped it by making a big wall of fire that stopped the electricity. Percy shouted, "Stop Thals!" Thalia responded "OK I will but then tell me how you got this firepower and where were you?" And Thalia added "and why did you try suicide?"

At this Percy's cheerful face drooped. He said sadly "I do not want to talk about it." I had to stop this so I told Thalia "Thalia, Right now he does not want to reveal it, so let it be. He will tell you when the time comes."

Thalia invited Percy near the fire with the other hunters as he was about to tell them his story. Before he started, I asked him, "Err Percy? You have noticed that the monster attacks have increased. And you saw that we almost lost the last battle so, can you be our Guardian?"

At this Percy without thinking, Said yes. Now I was very happy for some reason. Then we spent all afternoon and evening hearing Percy's adventures.
