I DON'T OWN PERCY JACKSON, ALSO, thanks for the review, I will update today, 22nd of January, around some time of 8 pacific time.

Now then if you have suggestion for baby names, I would love to hear them might even if I already have a name, might even change my opinion.

Artemis POV

The air was fresh with the smell of pine, I loved northwest forest, they had to be some of the cleanest in The united states, also the game here was good while the forest were large.

My Hunters ran ahead of me, chasing down the Hydra with vigor and excitement. Some of them hopped through the trees while others stayed on the ground. For once I was letting them take the lead of a hunt, and manage it, while I simple sat back and watched.

The Hydra roared as they finally cornered it at a huge river, the hunter's dashed in, one having the burning sticks ready as with their teamwork and numbers the hydra was fast to fall to the ground.

I was about to congratulate them when I heard a cry from the distance, they heard it as well, Thalia asked, "What was that".

I looked in the surrounding evergreen forest, the wind began to pick up trailing with them the scent of burning flesh but it wasn't from the Hydra, it also smelled strongly of iron, well more like blood, this could not be good at all.

Phoebe stated, "Safe bet that it's in the direction that smell is coming from"

I commanded "Stay behind me, Girls" with that we began to walk up river in a A-formation with me in the front, my silver bow drawn and at the ready, the smell got even stronger to the point, Thalia put her shirt over her nose to limit it, Phoebe used her sleeve, and 3 others flat out tried not to breathe as often.

That's when the bloodstains began, it looked like we were walking into a slaughterhouse that hadn't been cleaned in weeks, trees were freshly snapped, with claw marks in those who still stood. The brush finally split to reveal something of the mortal horror movies.

A body was burned and pinned to a tall tree by black claw like knives and was about 5 feet off the ground, it was missing most its flush to the point I had no clue what gender the person was suppose to be, it jaw decided to snap off and hit the ground with a sickening splat. Another body lay on it's stomach on the ground, this time it was slashed up and ripped apart so again no clue on gender, it was decomposing as it was a little green with spores, and blue fabric still remained on it.

The whole area was red with blood and smell like well a rotting corpus.

Phoebe mumbled "Ohh gods" then ran off to a bush looking as green as the spores on the dead body number two.

Thalia cursed, "What sick twisted, gods just no" she couldn't even manage to finish her sentence as eh turned away trying no to hurl herself, the others hid their nose and kept their eyes closed.

I asked "My question is what was that noise earlier, and who could do this"

Thalia walked forward towards the body on the ground as she finally managed to get herself under control "These are either claw marks or knives, I can't tell with the decomposition "

Before I could deduce anything else, I heard a sniffling noise, I held up my hand for silence as I walked around the scene following the noise. I came to a bush that was relatively clean of blood, I moved the leaves to see a little baby nestled in the branches wrapped in a white blanket with blue thread design. It sniffed again and held it hands in front of its face to shield the light.

Thalia gasped, "It's a baby, ohh gods that means these must be the parents and they're dead".

Phoebe came back just to here that then ran off to hurl once again. The other hunters looked in, one said "Its looks close to dead".

She was right, it was so skinny for a baby, with how decomposed the bodies were, they must be 3 days dead. I slowly reached down and picked up the baby, even weak it gave a strong cry; opening its eyes it looked at me with bright blue eyes, it had a little white tuft of hair on it's head. Though it's strong cry was lost as it began to cough then go silent.

One hunter, Katie, hissed, "What monster could do this?"

I responded "A really sick one" I held the baby close as it finally began to quite down, it buried its head in the crook of my arm. Thalia asked 'is it a boy of girl"

I did not want to check but slowly unwrapped the blanket to see, as I did I saw how bad the condition of the baby was and wonder how it could be alive, finally the last fold "Boy, it's a boy".

The hunters didn't show disgust, they had confused faces as they wonder what they could do. Katie was the voice of reason "We can't just leave him here, or we will be as bad as the thing that did this to his parents, we have to help him".

Phoebe came back to hear this, she now looked pale "Well first he needs food, he hasn't eaten for the last couple of days, and with how young he looks, it has to be milk".

Thalia asked, "Where are we going to get that, the nearest store is 30 miles away".

I snapped my fingers and a bottle appeared in my hand, and Thalia deadpanned "right, goddess"

I smirked at her, but stated even if it did sound wrong "As soon as we can, will have to drop him off at a orphanage".

I could see the hunter dislike of the idea, some even knew what being inside one was like and their faces showed more anger then disgust. I ignored them, we could not take this boy under our wing, so I decided to start feeding him, he was fast to latch onto the bottle and suckle like no tomorrow.

Thalia suddenly began with a argument, leave it up to her to argue with me "There are two things I have against that idea, we pledged to not be around men, that is a baby or boy, not a man, second look at his back".

I was confused and mutter a 'what' before I turned him to his side a little and the blanket fell to reveal two pearl white wings. Thalia added, "A human orphanage, I don't think, is prepared for a not so human, baby"

I deadpanned "You all want to try and take care of a baby". The ones who knew about the acts in orphanages nodded like crazy while the other shrugged, one stated, "maybe we can raise a decent male"

Phoebe added onto my opposition "We have little choice, camp half blood can't take him, no one there has experience, Olympus is a bad idea as the men there will teach him to be disgusting, humans can't take care of him, that leaves us"

Still I don't even know what he is, He has wings but he doesn't have the scent of a demigod, he really has no scent. Maybe Athena will know but for now he can stay "Alright for now tell we find a better option, now can someone stay and give a proper burial for these two, anything that can link The baby to it's parents, take it off and store it, everyone else set up camp farther up stream."

The little boy unlatched from the bottle and gave a tiny sigh before burying his head in the crook of my arm; I didn't have the heart to move him. I pledged to stay away from men and keep my virginity, I technically not around a man.

The tents went up fast but I could tell everyone was preoccupied by thoughts of what we are going to do with the baby. I looked down at him again to see he was still awake and looking at me with blue eyes, for a baby he was silent, from what I hear they usually are always making some sort of noise but this one was silent. Finally he began to drift into sleep, closing his hypnotic blue eyes.

After an hour, and my hunters reporting what they are finding as evidence at the kill sight. It seemed who ever did this was clean with their stuff but made sure to make everything covered in blood.

All that could help was some odd 3 toed tracks leading north, the pins that held the body to the tree which are now black curved claws.

They decided to take a break before they moved the bodies to burning holes they had dug. They planned to burn the bodies together since both were found to wear the same style ring showing marriage.

I finally set up my tent and I made everything appear inside as I Went in. I sat on my cot and wondered aloud as I looked at the slumbering baby in my arms that still made no noise except for breathing, "what have I got myself into".

"Something odd'.

I resisted screaming as Athena suddenly appeared in my tent, I was extremely glad the baby was taking a nap. She smirked at me "Mind explaining".

Athena was dressed in hiking uniform with tan pants and weird vest thing over a white blouse in all; her black hair was all tied up in a bun that was covered by a hat.

I answered, "Go walk down a couple yards and you'll see the shredded remains of his parents"

I could tell she was sending an owl to look as her eyes unfocused a tad; it became extremely obvious as she paled and began to gag despite herself, she hissed 'who could do that".

"I wish I knew but I got all the information I need to start tracking but it was surprisingly clean of evidence as my hunters searched, also you are seeing the clean version".

I never thought I would see Athena get so pale, she sat down next to me "looks like his life is already off to a bad start"

I nodded then showed her his little white wings "any idea on who he is".

She thought for a second, I knew before she gave her answer it was bad, as her gray eyes turned to a stormy dark gray, she continued her silence for a minute tell "some how I do not know"

I gasped 'how, you're….. you're Athena, wisdom and all that, how can you not know, your job is to know and you don't".

She gave me a pissed off expression, she must be offended with what I said, finally she explained, "All the winged Gods and goddess haven't had kids recently that wouldn't fit his age, there really is no explanation for who he is, ok I getting sick of he, what's this kids name"

I shrugged as she just shook her head at me then said, "If your going to take care of him, give him a name".

"Who says I am going to take care of him"

The look I got in response revealed I was going to for a while as no other option was there before I could even ask "No, Artemis, I will not take him off your hands, you have a whole group of hunters to help you, and I am so not taking the single mother path, I see what it does to mortal women"

He woke up and looked at Athena, he made no noise and just stared. She cooed, "It looks like he trying to figure me out" she tapped his nose but it didn't break his concentration on her, it was kind of creepy and Athena began to shift nervously in her seat.

Finally he squeaked and looked up at me, he squeaked again though it sounded like he was trying to make more noise but couldn't. He continued to squeak pathetically and the sound made me want to cry at how hard he was trying to make noise. He began to claw at his neck and Athena hissed "Stop him, he's hurting himself"

I restrained his arms as he silently began to cry, Athena theorized 'I think he's sick, his throat might be soar and he's in so much pain that he can't speak or make even noise, how long has he been alone"

I shrugged as massaged his throat "A couple days"

Athena nodded "yes he is sick, you need to get him checked out, my best suggestion so rumors don't spread, is to ask Hestia on the matter, maybe she can even give you advice".

Ohh joy I was stuck with this little one for who knows how long.
