Percy's POV:

I woke up in the middle of the night, I don't know why I just did. I looked outside to see that it was dark out, and then I realized I was in Artemis's cabin, and everyone was asleep. Wait wasn't I on Olympus in her palace when I fell asleep, I don't remember how I got here, but I'm assuming Artemis teleported me. 

I tried to get up quietly, so I could take a walk, but I was weighed down by something on my chest. I looked down to only be met with a mess of Auburn-colored hair. I think I'm either dead or going to die, the hunters surely wouldn't have allowed this if they caught Artemis and I like this right. I pinched myself to test if I'm still living to which I felt it. So, I'm likely going to die once the hunters do get up. I might as well go back to sleep and hopefully go peacefully in it before the hunters wake to kill me.

Thalia's POV:

I woke up to someone jumping on top of me, I looked out the window to see that it was still dark, "can't you let me sleep till sunlight" I asked the hunter, I knew it was one of them, I just didn't know who.

"Nope, you agreed to this last night Thalia" Scarlet said, and I'm guessing it is her who's jumping on my stomach.

I opened my eyes, to see the rest of the hunt surrounding my bed and internally grown as last night's memories came back. "fine, I'm up now would you please stop using my stomach as a trampoline" I whispered, hoping not to wake up Artemis or Percy. She got off of me and we made our way over to them.

"Now how are we going to wake Artemis without waking Percy" I heard someone whisper

"We did not think this through" I whispered back.

All of the sudden, Scarlet, jumped up onto the side of the twin-sized bed, somehow managing to avoid landing on the sprawled-out bodies that lay on it. "Scarlet what are you doing" Julia whisper-shouted

"waking our lady since you all are too scared to do it" she sassed, I'm starting to question if she and Percy are actual siblings. She then started to gently shake Artemis's shoulder and whispered words in her ear that I couldn't hear.

I sat back with the others and waited, "so I'm guessing she got the rest of you up too then" I whispered, to which a chorus of quiet yeah's came along. We watched the little alarm clock that was too excited to settle this bet, wake up Artemis, and as we were all sitting around the bed when she woke up, she started blushing hard.

Artemis's POV:

I woke up to someone gently shaking my shoulder and hearing the quiet words of one of my hunters asking me to wake up. I turned my head to see that it was Scarlet, who seemed to be standing in an awkward position, then I notice my hunters sitting on the floor behind her and remembered where I slept. I'm pretty sure I was blushing as I felt my face start to heat up. "girls what are you all doing up so early the sun isn't even out yet"I whispered, hoping not to wake Perseus. All of the sudden they grabbed onto my limbs and started carrying me outside the cabin.

Once we got outside I was about to ask them why they drug me out here before Scarlet asked me something I wasn't expecting, " do you love him milady"

I decided to play a little dumb here and try to avoid the topic, I knew they were asking about Percy, "who's him"

This got a bunch of sighs from my hunters, who all said at once, "Percyyyyyyyy, milady" to which Scarlet continued, "Who else would we be talking about, weren't you just in bed with him" she said wiggling her eyebrows. 

I blushed again at what she was insinuating, "we were not doing that" I said to her

"Milady, if you weren't sleeping with him in his bed then what were you doing," Rosa asked, not seeing that Scarlet wiggled her eyebrows. I just sighed, "What is it that you girls want then," I asked, just wanting to go back to the warm bed, as the sunlight was starting to come up over the horizon.

"I want to where you two were yesterday and what you were doing, and we would like to know if you love him or not," Thalia said. I knew she was not including herself in that we, she already knows the answer to this. My hunters quickly looked at each other before saying they wanted to know the first part too. I sighed and began my long explanation of where we went, and what we were doing. 

LINE BREAK

I wasn't expecting myself to explain everything, even our entire conversation, to my hunters, but for some reason after telling Percy, it was easier for me to tell my hunters and I felt better because they knew. It helped that they interrupted less too. Thalia looked shocked that I was telling them, and that I told Percy, which made me happy. Too bad I couldn't take a photo of it, it would have been pretty good blackmail. After I finished telling them everything about yesterday's events, I was hoping they forgot about the second part of their request, but of course, Scarlet just had to bring it up, and remember the others about their original purpose of waking me up so early.

Percy's POV:

I woke up feeling oddly cold this morning. I looked out the window to see the sun starting to light up the morning sky and decided not to fall back asleep. I looked around to see that I was somehow in Artemis...wait am I dead. The hunters and Artemis aren't here and I remember I woke up in the middle of the night now, and what I woke up to. I decided to ignore it and just go ahead and start my day.

I walked out of the cabin to see that the hunters had Artemis surrounded in a semi-circle, and she was finishing explaining what we talked about yesterday. I quickly put my finger to my lips asking them to be quiet, and not announce my presence to Lady Artemis. Which, thankfully, they complied too, though, I don't know why. 

Artemis just finished her explanation, when I heard Scarlet ask the question, which strangely brought a twinge of hope and warmth to my chest, "Great story milady, but you still haven't answered our big question" She said before switching like she was talking to a Kindergartener, leaving a short pause before every word, "Do...you...Love...Percy"

I wanted to hear this answer, but I also wasn't going to act on it, as she was only thinking that she was speaking to her hunters. But what she said surprised me, and I didn't expect it, she said she did, and with that, I silently went back inside her cabin before coming back out a few minutes later to see the hunters still exchanging coins, I'm guessing they made a bet about what her answer would be, and Artemis shaking her head in disappointment at them.

"So, was there a bet that I missed or something," I asked, and Artemis paled drastically

"yes kelp-head, but it doesn't concern you" I knew Thalia was lying to me about this, but I didn't mention anything.

"Alright, I'm heading off to breakfast, I'll see you all there," I said, but before walking off, I heard Artemis sigh in relief.

Frank's POV: He's Back

I've been on the run for five days now, since, this wretched war started. I made my way to Richmond, VA last night and am hopefully going to make it to Long Island today. The weird thing is, is that nobody was chasing me I guess that comes with the benefits of leaving during a quiet time.

I set off early in the morning, to take I-95 all the way north to New York, before heading off to Long Island. That was the plan at least until I got captured on Staten Island by Thalia and a few hunters, whom I guess are running scouting missions. 

I heard that Artemis is siding with Olympus, and so I didn't put up any fight and just surrendered to them, instead of trying to put up an argument saying that, I wish to be siding with Olympus not against it. They put a potato sack or something over my head to transport me. It's not like I don't already know where CHB is, I've been planning to go on this run for a while, and have already been there before.

Line break

Once, they removed the potato sack from my head, I was met by my Greek Half-sister, Clarisse, Lady Artemis, Thalia, and I think it was Malcolm, but I don't know, it could be another one of Athena's Sons. 

All of the sudden I heard a sword being drawn from behind me, and I closed my eyes waiting for the pain, but it never came. Instead, it cut my bindings free. I opened my eyes to see that all, but Artemis, was looking on in shock at whoever is behind me.

I turned to see Percy capping Riptide, "How's it going Frank," he asked me.

"Good, a bit tired after being on the run for a few days, but there's little to do about that besides eating and sleep" I responded.

"Thalia says you came from the south, is that correct," He asked

I just realized he un-cuffed me to make me feel more comfortable, and I'm being interrogated, "Yes, I left Richmond this morning and made my way north, actually hoping to make it here"

"Do you have anything to prove that"

Luckily, I did, I stopped at a Mcdonald's for breakfast, because it's cheap, and I kept the receipt from there. I handed it over to Percy who quickly looked it over before handing it off to Thalia, who kept passing it around until it reached back to me. 

"Now, Frank what were you doing in Richmond, it's a far way, from New Rome and the Legion."

"I questioned orders, got demoted, and began to run before they decided to arrest me. I was expecting a war, ever since my father started whispering words to the legion, and it didn't seem right then so I started planning an exit while complying enough to still be in any planning sessions." I answered

"What path did you take to get here," Thalia asked

"I went South first and eventually made my way to the border of California, Nevada, and Arizona, before I started heading east following I-40 until I goto 85 and took that north to Richmond only to leave there and take 95, this morning, until I got close to NYC before heading to Long Island through Staten Island to come here, figuring Zeus may not like someone from the legion right now," I said, taking out a few more receipts showing them where I ate along the way. I don't know why I kept them at the time, but I'm glad I did now.

"You said you obeyed orders enough to have their plans, do you still know them," Malcolm asked,  "like the route they would use to march here"

"Yeah, I remember that"

"Do, you know when they started their march here" Percy Asked

"I left before they started marching, last I heard is that they were still debating a plan of attack"

The room seemed to grow silent before Clarisse got a wide grin on her face and whispered something to Percy

"Would the destruction of Atlantis, and Poseidon's armies, be enough to activate their plans, and for them to start their march" Percy asked me, after hearing whatever Clarisse had to say

"Wait, Poseidon's Armies and Atlantis have been destroyed, how I thought all the sea gods were siding with him," I said

"One he forgot about me," Percy said, only to get whacked upside the head by Artemis, which lead Clarisse, Malcolm, Thalia, and myself to suppress laughter, "two Ouch, and three he forgot about my Sister Kym, and she wasn't already happy with him. So, She took much joy when I said I could care less if she destroyed his palace or not. She did end up doing that, even destroyed his throne, and game room" Percy said

"And you two destroyed the entire army"

"all but Delphin and my father. Delphin, though somehow was teleported away, we believe he is with his rents' " Percy answered

"Damn, I think that would be enough to trigger action from them though," I said, and we began to spend the rest of the day discussing the plans the Legion made to wage war against Olympus and CHB.
