Hey, Guys! I'm so sorry for not updating in 3 weeks. My life has been really hectic recently. Everything from getting sick, to getting writer's block, to my sister getting engaged has been happening to make up a chaotic few weeks.
Anyways now that everything is calming back down I should get back to weekly updates (Don't quote me on that). Thanks for sticking with my all this time and enjoy chapter 9!
Artemis flashed to her camp after a long day of council meetings. She had, had to stay the night on Olympus because of how late the meetings went for. As she looked around her Camp she frowned when she noticed the scorched grass and the burnt down trees. She also noticed that the hunters were around camp doing Chores, Percy's chores to be exact.
She looked around and couldn't spot Percy and began to panic slightly. If Percy was killed on her watch Poseidon would have her head. She quickly walked over to her lieutenant, Thalia. "Thalia, what happened here?" Artemis asked.

We got back just in time to help Percy defend the camp. No casualties, just a few minor injuries except for Percy. He has a few broken ribs and a concussion. He went down to the river nearby to speed up the healing." Thalia explained.
Artemis nodded and let Thalia get back to sharpening arrows. Just as Artemis was about to go to her tent to get some rest she felt in immortal presence near her camp. She decided to investigate and flashed to a spot near the presence. She quickly hid behind a tree and looked down at the river she arrived at.
She almost growled when she saw Aphrodite sitting really, really close to Percy on the edge of the river. She did not like the fact that Aphrodite and this Boy were about to commit such a barbaric act so close to her camp. She watched closely as Percy and Aphrodite talked.
Artemis couldn't help but roll her eyes at the boy's obliviousness. She raised an eyebrow when Percy denied Aphrodite's offer and couldn't help the little sliver of respect that wormed its way into her mind as he did so.
Artemis stood up and was immediately on guard when she heard Aphrodite say, "Fine I'll leave, but I'll give you a parting gift," Gifts from angry immortals were never pleasant and she couldn't have Percy getting killed while she was responsible for him.
She was about to react when Aphrodite said, "Have a nice week Percy," and disappeared in a flash. Artemis immediately ran over to Percy who was still covered in thick, pink dust. Artemis couldn't see Percy through the dust but could tell he was still alive and conscious because of his coughing.
She frowned as Percy's coughing began to sound lighter. As the dust began to clear Percy's features became more clear. He seemed to have shrunk a few inches and his hair got a lot longer, it stopped just half way down his back. His solid figure gained a curvier complexion to it and his breasts seemed to fit it figure perfectly.
'Wait! Breasts?' Artemis thought in surprise. Her eyes widened as Percy's entire body was visible. He was a she! Artemis was mentally freaking out, Poseidon would have her head his only son was turned into his only daughter. She remembered what Aphrodite said as she left and started calming down. It would only last for a week, so there was no permanent damage done.
Percy stood there looked at the frozen Artemis in confusion. He was wondering what she was looking at when a thought popped into his head. What had Aphrodite done to him? His eyes widened and he quickly ran over to the river and looked at his reflection in the water. He let out a loud, girly scream when he saw a girl version of him looking back at him.
"What the Hades! Why am I a girl?" Percy screeched.
Artemis snapped out of her shock when she heard Percy's girly scream. She didn't know what to do so she did the one thing that felt right. She burst out laughing. Her laughing kept getting harder till she fell onto the ground and started having trouble breathing.
