AN: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or anything close to it that would go to the author Rick Riordan

PPOV

I was pushed to the ground by the body of Luke Castellan. I was in so much pain, but I have to continue fighting. I couldn't let Kronos morph into his pure form. He was furious with me for getting Poseidon to aid in ridding Typhon with the other gods. I was so proud of Tyson leading the army of Cyclopes into battle, but I couldn't think about that as my former friend was heading towards me or should I say Kronos. Kronos the titan lord, the titan of time and my grandfather. I snapped out of it because that train of process led me to think of the Olympian family tree and that made my head hurt from confusion. I am not Annabeth who could look at it and think of the simple connections it had.

I reverted my attention back to the situation at hand. Grover was lying limp at the base of Hera's throne along with Annabeth who was slowly getting to her feet. I wanted to shout at her to stay out of this so she would get hurt, but she wouldn't pay attention. She shouted to get Kronos's attention and ran in between him and I.

"Luke," she pleaded, "I know you can fight it. What about all that we have been through." I noticed he looked at Annabeth with a blue gaze, the eyes of Luke, but quickly reverted to golden as Kronos roared in protest.

"You stupid little girl," he spat out, "Luke Castellan is dead and he will never fight against me."

"Luke your Mother and your father loved you. No matter what you think," Annabeth pleaded

"No that Basterd does not love me," the blonde haired boy shouted but not in Kronos's voice, but in Luke's, "He did not care about me. He left me with my mother who he left rot after he was through with her. She was insane and terrified and that's all because of Hermes," he spat.

"No Luke, She was ignorant and tried to take the oracles job. She was overwhelmed and saw your fate." She sympathized.

"Service to kronos" he roared. Kronos was back in the swing of things.

"No Luke, she saw that you would destroy kronos. She was horrified by everything you would go though before becoming a hero. Luke you are the hero of the prophecy. You would never intend to hurt me or any of us," she said with confidence. What happened next drove me out into battle mode as Kronos swatted her across the room into her mother's throne. Riptide still hadn't returned to my pocket so when Kronos was turned I made a mad dash for Annabeths dagger and faced Kronos. I paused when I heard Annabeth's voice, Kronos or Luke at this point was staring painfully at Annabeth.

"No Luke you are in control. You are in control now refusing to kill me like kronos would want you. Percy give Luke my dagger," she pleaded with me. I thought she was crazy because I couldn't leave my self-defenseless.

"Percy," Luke said whle looking at me, "I am the only one who can kill Kronos. I can get to my mortal spot because he would defend himself if it was from anyone else. Please hurry he is almost about to evolve," he pleaded. I started to notice the golden glow of his skin. I thought that I was crazy as I gave luke the dagger. I prepared to retaliate if he lunged, but instead Luke smiled as he thrust the dagger under his left arm pit. His mortal spot was well hidden during battle under his armor. Not even a second after piercing his skin Luke started to glow, I thought that Kronos was about to change into his immortal form, but suddenly Luke's body turned a molten color. Luke whispered "Good blade" as he fell to the floor. I giant explosion emitted throughout the room and then everything became silent. Annabeth was the first to breakout of the silence as she struggled to move towards Luke's body. I followed afterwards barely getting to my feet, but I stopped short as I heard the next few words out of them.

"Annabeth I'm sorry," Luke rasped out with sorrow, "I need to know did you ever love me," he asked. I couldn't believe my ears as she gave her reply.

"Yes Luke," she replied with love oozing out in her voice, "I tried to move along with Percy, but I couldn't I have and always will love you" she said

Interlude (skipping the award scene, still basically the same)

I had stepped out of the elevator escaping the horrid music emitting from the speakers. I couldn't believe that they had offered me godhood, but he never regretted his decision to fulfill his promises instead. He heard shouting that sounded like his mother and looked towards the front desk to see Paul and his mother trying to reach him.

"There is no such thing as the 600th floor madam," the receptionist said, who had at some time returned to his position since last time I was down here, still as hard as ever to admit anyone to Olympus,

"Hey Mom," I said trying to get her attention. She froze and immediately turned around and sprung at me engulfing me in a hug that could rival my brothers. She had mentioned some things about me being up there for hours and how they were worried something had happened. I had explained the Gods rebuilding the throne room and the reward ceremony. I had sked if I could come home with them tonight and they had no complaints s long as I told Chiron of my whereabouts. We then got in a van s I was trapped in my thoughts about Annabeth. I had loved her and given my heart to her during the battle to find out she loved Luke all the while I was in love with her. It infuriated me for a second that she blatantly knew my feelings towards the end and played me along just to admit that she never had loved. That quickly dissipated because I could really stay angry at her. It is not like I gave her anything, I did, but it also hurt because my mortal point where Annabeth held me to this world throbbed s I guess the curse went away. My heart twisted in pain as I thought why Aphrodite was so cruel at times. I had given Annabeth and the Gods everything, but still my life was terrible.

We had arrived at the apartment and I immediately went to my room not wanting to talk about it. Using the moisture in the air I made a rainbow to IM Chiron. "O' Iris goddess of the Rainbow please show me Chiron camp half-blood" I said as I threw in a drachma. The mist shifted and formed a picture of the infirmary with Chiron all bandaged up eating a piece of ambrosia in his wheel chair.

"Chiron" I called trying to put some enthusiasm in my voice. He turned his gaze towards me and had a relieved look on his face.

"Percy my boy, where are you? I thought something had happened to you since you didn't show up with the other campers or Annabeth given the war and everything just past," he said in in what must have been the remain of his panic

"Don't worry Chiron," I said trying to calm his fears, "I decided to go home with my parents from the empire state building since I wanted some time alone without the other campers around."

"Indeed Percy," he sympathized, "It is probably hard for you to accept the events and lives that ended as of late."

"Yeah something like that," I replied. The truth was I was bothered by the amount of lives we lost or of friends like Silena and Beckendorf and it killed me inside, but the news about Annabeth drove it all home and I hated the feeling. "Can I go now Chiron I want the opportunity to relax?"

"Yes my boy you need to ease your mind of the death toll, but might I ask that you come back to camp to talk in a few days," he requested. I agreed with his terms and swept through the message turning my gaze to the moon lace in the window.

"How do you do it Calypso? How you deal with this sort of pain? How can I deal with the heartbreak instead?" I asked myself as a knock at my door sounded. I let my mom in knowing it was her and asked what she would like.

"Percy you need to talk about this it is not health to keep it all in" my Mother said. I hated having to make her worried but at the same time I so tired of all the sympathy lately. I sighed wanting to escape and think to myself some more," I pleaded. She nodded reluctantly, but with the terms that we would talk tomorrow. Even the thought of all the confrontations lately had stressed me out. I laid down and noticed that night had fallen. I guess my inner musing took a lot of time away. I stared at the moon and thought how lovely it was compared to the events of the day. I wondered how Lady Artemis and her hunters deal with kind of stuff. When they lose hunters after getting attached for so long it must be painful, but I guess it comes with the price of joining.

Girls all over the world join Artemis's hunt to escape from their previous lives. I couldn't help but feel a little envious of them that they can start a new life. It wasn't perfect but it was better and from what I heard a great distraction. Bianca had joined the hunters, the first time I ran into them, to escape responsibility and Thalia a short time later joined to avoid this prophecy and find a more welcoming home. I don't blame thalia for wanting to avoid the great prophecy, I would have if I had known the costs, but I didn't want it to fall to nico. That would be to selfish of me.

I must have been more tired as I thought as I started to drift off. I guess fighting the titan lord was more draining s I thought. I tried to fight the urge because I didn't want to fall into Morpheus's realm just yet. As i was fighting I started to mutter something which at first couldn't realize what it was, but I quickly remembered hearing it for the first time from Bianca in Lady Artemis's tent.

"I pledge myself to the goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maidenhood and join the hunt"

A new wave of tiredness hit me towards the end of the oath as I blacked out into the realm of Morpheus upon the last word.

Dream

My subconscious took me to a forest with a clear sky above head exposing the moon and my favorite constellation/most horrible memory about the huntress Zoe Nightshade. I looked back ahead of me and notice a silver blur in the form of a human but I could define their features as the person started to speak.

"Perseus, you are really brave or stupid to have sworn that, but in light of everything that has happened I accept your oath," the feminine voice said. It sounded familiar but I noticed that I saw still physically and mentally tired. It must be after today or yesterday I guess. I didn't know what she was talking about, but it was clear she was talking to me. "But I most warn you that males cannot join the hunt so I must act accordingly."

I tried to ask what she was talking about, but I couldn't seem to move or speak. The deam started to fade as I caught a clear view of the other person in the dream. It was Lady Artemis in her 12 year old form. Why was Lady Artemis in my dreams and what was she talking about. I was wondering this as the dream faded and light shown through my eyes.

I woke in my bed as usually and noted that it was earlier then when I normally wake. Sitting up in my bed I noticed that something felt wrong as I thought back to the contents of the dream.

"Something has gone awfully wrong" a higher pitched voice said, but what startled me was that it came out of my mouth.

AN: Reply to the huntress challenge. I hope you guys like it. This idea came to me and I want to see how this would go. Thoughts, criticism and suggestions accepted
