A/N: Alright, I didn't think that this story would start up so fast. It's really good that you guys like it because that means that you guys get more story from me. Updates might be slightly slow due to the fact that I still have school but I'll try my best for you guys. But have no fear you guys will still get your story. Alright now with that done on with the story.

But first, shout out to coolcoco98 for being my first reviewer, thank you very much, it means a lot to me.

Percy's eyes flickered open.

A groan escaped his mouth as he tried to sit up. His neck and shoulder were throbbing in pain.

'What in Hades happened?' he thought as he felt his neck, the wound there was already feeling better but it still hurt to no end. He realised he was shirtless and laying on a table. His eyes swept over his surroundings. It appeared that he was inside a tent which had a rather suspicious amount of silver in it.

He was suddenly hit with a barrage of images in his mind as it recalled all that had happened to him. He could remember running from a group of people dressed in silver. Percy also remembered taking out said group of people with his gun. Then he remembered running in the forest and one of the silver people stepping out in front of him and shooting him with an arrow. Percy had slight panic attack as he reached up to check his shoulder where he had been shot but he found that it had been healed and there was just a scar left where there was once an arrow shaft. Then he checked his hip where his gun usually was and found that that was a vacant space too.

It hit Percy like a truck when he finally connected the dots. The people dressed in silver hunting him, the arrows being fired at him being silver, the tent, and who better to hunt someone difficult to find than the famed Hunters of Artemis. He now realised exactly how much of a hole he was in and that he had very low chances of getting out of it.

Percy's brain started to go into overdrive as he fully took in his surroundings. There was a chair with a shirt on it which Percy quickly pulled on. On the other side was a table with all of Percy's weapons displayed out on it. He quickly ran over to it and started to gather up all of his weapons. He had just finished capping Riptide and putting it in his pocket when a voice from behind him stopped him dead in his tracks.

"I really hope you aren't thinking of trying to escape are you?"

Percy slowly turned around to find the piercing silver eyes of the goddess Artemis looking at his sea-green ones. She wore a smirk on her face which scared Percy slightly.

"Umm, so why am I not in chains in the council room getting ready to be blasted by Zeus yet?" Percy questioned timidly

Artemis sighed and a scowl appeared on her face as if she was remembering something bad.

"If it were my choice, you already would be. However, your cousin is one of the most stubborn people in the world. She managed to convince me to hear you out and decide after you had told us your story." Artemis said

"I think that you owe me one after this Perce." A new voice joined the conversation

At that moment the tent flap opened again and a grinning Thalia appeared in the entrance way. She walked up to the gaping Percy and spread her arms to hug him but as she got to him she quickly brought her fist down and slammed into Percy's stomach. Percy was caught unawares and as such took the full brunt of the attack unprepared. He gasped as all the air was forced out of his lungs and he doubled over.

"Nice to see you too Thals." Percy wheezed out after recovering from the blow

"Now you mister have a lot of explaining to do. I didn't just save your ass from my father's wrath because I felt like it. I want to hear it all, from the beginning." Thalia said as she looked at Percy expectantly

"Okay, okay, you better sit down, there is quite a lot to tell." Percy replied

Artemis conjured up two chairs and she and Thalia each took one, sitting down and waiting for Percy to begin his tale.

"So I guess I'd better start with the reason why I ran away. Well, to put it simply, I had too. Someone or something just doesn't want to leave me alone. It all started when I watched Beckendorf get blown up on Kronos' ship. Well I didn't actually see him get blown up but I saw the ship explode with him on it. I felt something that day on the ship. It wasn't much but it was definitely there. It was a presence, so faint that I almost missed it but it was definitely there. It was so dark. I only felt it briefly but when I did, I almost shit myself. I felt so alone, like all hope was gone in the world. It was like all the fire in me had been sucked out and there was just a shell of me left. The only problem was that that whole mission could have gone off without a hitch. We were primed to escape through Blackjack and then get back to camp from there (Yeah I changed it a bit but I need to so that the story can progress) and blow the charges on the way but something went wrong that ended up with us being captured and me escaping while Beckendorf sacrificed himself to save me and to help us buy time for the war." Percy explained to Artemis and Thalia while they looked at him in pity over the loss of one of his friends, they knew how much it hurt him to talk about this kind of stuff

Percy proceeded to explain how the deaths of many of his friends had been preceded by him feeling the presence before they died. Silena, Michael, Luke. All of them. He explained how this had been going on ever since Beckendorf was killed.

"I can just feel it every time I go to sleep, the presence is always there. I felt it when I was battling Kronos too. When I saw Ethan die, it was there, it always has been just before they die. It was almost like they were meant to die. Hence the reason why I am here. They all died with me around. So I figured that if I ran away, the presence would follow me and leave my friends behind." Percy said

"Well, as much as I don't like you running away from Camp where you belong, I can see why you did it and I understand, you needed to save your friends. But you have to remember Percy, you have other friends outside of camp and up on Olympus. Your father for instance. You have to remember that people can help you." Thalia told her friend

"But that wasn't the end of though. It followed me. Whenever I would make some kind of friend it would be there and kill them off. So I eventually stopped making friends and became so much more reclusive. I would just practise my powers and other skills. That is of course, until you guys started to hunt me and I knew that I would have to run again. So that I wouldn't hurt anybody anymore." Percy said in a quiet tone

Thalia stood up and hugged her cousin. Artemis looked on but did nothing, she knew how the pair would do anything to protect the other and this was no exception. The two separated and sat back down again before Artemis asked Percy a question,

"Percy, when we were chasing after you, I remember seeing one of my hunters shoot an arrow at you. It should have hit you but it didn't. It was almost as if you teleported out of the way of the arrow. Would you like to explain?"

Percy just looked at Artemis for a minute. Then he sighed and took a deep breath.

"I guess I have to explain that then don't I?" Percy said "But I would appreciate it if you guys didn't freak out over what I'm about to tell you despite its implications."

"Ok that can be done, continue." Artemis said

"I…I hold the powers of the Titan King Kronos."

Aaaaaaand that's chapter two done and dusted. I apologise for this chapter being really late and rather heavy sounding. One of my friends took his own life recently at the age of 17 and it hit me really hard so I apologise for it sounding a bit off. Well I guess that this is it for today. See you guys next time, which should be soon hopefully.

Rest in Peace Quinn, Rest in Peace.
