Prologue

A cloaked figure ran through the forest, moving fast and faster. In front of her was a tree, the gateway to Camp Half-Blood. The hooded woman cradled a bundle wrapped in a blanket. She continued, rain no longer hitting her hood. She ran past the cabins and pavilion, her destination in sight. On light was shining in the window of the Big House. She stopped in front of the door, sadness beginning to grip her heart. A tear slipped down her cheek as she set the blanket on the doorstep, exposing the face of a sleeping baby.

"I'm so sorry Mikayla…no one can know about this…" the woman whispered as she removed her hood. Artemis turned and sprinted back into the forest, leaving her forbidden child in the hands of Chiron and Mr. D.

Chapter One: Years Later

"Mikayla! Get down from there!" Mom yelled from the window. I looked down at her from the roof and climbed back in through the window.

"Sorry Mom. I just love the full moon. It's so beautiful!" I said, sliding the window down.

"You are leaving for camp tomorrow for the Gods know how long. Don't leave on a bad note" she joked before walking out of the room. I walked over to my mirror and stared at my reflection. My silver eyes were nothing like those of the children of Athena, my reflected the moon according to Travis Stroll, my best friend and partner in crime. My auburn hair doesn't fit the description any of the major Gods have. Because of all these I am stuck in the Hermes Cabin, without a single clue about my father after two years. I walked over to my bed and flopped on the blue sheets and fell asleep.

"Apollo! Please I'm begging you! I have no idea what to do!" Artemis cried into the Iris Message. Her toga was beginning to show a baby bump, making the reality of her mistake more evident.

"Artemis calm down! All I can do is cover for you at the Summer Solstice but I'm not sure how much time that will give you." He replied.

"Oh thank you!" she cried.

"Just make yourself disappear until the child is born." Apollo said before disappearing in the mist. Artemis sighed and looked down at her slightly enlarged abdomen.

"You are going to be a lot of trouble, aren't you?" she whispered with a slight smile growing on her face.
