We both got to our feet and I flashed us both to the nearest city which was Richmond, Virginia.26

"A city? Where will we find monsters in a city?" Percy asked.

I shrugged "I didn't want to find monsters Percy, I wanted to find mortals who are doing wrong things like murder, burglary and especially rape." I spat the word rape.78

Percy clenched his fists and gritted his teeth "I hate rapists. What do they think? They can just go grab any girl and take her honour from them. Assholes."77

I stared at Percy for a moment. He was so perfect, it hurt me to know how that Athena spawn broke his heart, all the nymphs at Mt.Olympus talk about Percy Jackson all the time, as far as I know Aphrodite and her children even talk about him all the time. He deserves better than that girl.21

We walked through the streets, simply trying to find anything we could. The streets were empty, with only a few people present

"Tell me something." I said trying to start a conversation "When you were given a chance to become a God, you declined it and chose to get Hestia and Hades thrones. But why did you ask father to free my mother? I understand Calypso, because you know her, but why my mother?"5

"Because I like you. Of all the Goddesses at Mt. Olympus, you are my favorite, along with MOM H. Whenever the Gods have decided to kill me, you would stood up and defend me, I respect you Lady Artemis. And I love to see you happy. Heck, I can do anything to make you happy." He replied.9

I blushed at his reply.

"And you know? Your expressions are exactly like your mother's." Percy said.4

I blushed even further, if that was possible.

My senses told me something was wrong in a alley nearby. I ran towards it with Percy on my heels and saw something that made my blood boil.we saw through a House window a girl about seven and an angry fat man.

PERCY POV

Before lady Artemis could reply I barged into the house

What I see makes my anger boil. In the dim light I see a young girl huddled In the corner, her left side of her face dark blue with a yellowish tint, the colour stark against her pail malnourished body. As I turn around I see the a this walrus of a man stumbling across the room toward the girl. He is obviously drunk and a lot by the looks of how many bottles are littered around the place.

Then he turns around and notices me for the first time, his beady eyes trained on me. He then stupidly decides it would be a good time to be a big mouth. " this has nothing to do with you leave ." This irritates me even more that he thinks that I would just leave the poor girl alone. As if noticing that I am not going to leave he tries to walk but more stumble toward me fist raised.


Idiot. I sheath my stygian iron hunting knives. This is going to be quick, I also don't want to scare the little girl anymore then she is. So in a soft and warm tone I speak to the in the girl in the corner. "It's ok little one go hide, everything will be ok I promise." Cleverly she goes ad hide behind a worn out Couch as I focus back on the man just as he goes to throw a sloppy punch to the face.

I quickly duck down avoiding his punch and then bring my own back, and punch his in the chest resulting in the crunch of some of his ribs, due to the force I put behind the punch. He stumbles back now wary of what I can do. I let an evil grin spread on my face as its the only part of my face he can see and notice him suddenly steps back eyes full of fear what I might do.
