Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry guys! How long has it been since I updated?! Just took a really long break from writing... Once again, so sorry! And thanks for all the advice guys!

"Woah woah wait," I exclaimed, my already dizzy head spinning in faster circles. "Even if I am a demigod, Artemis doesn't have children if I remember correctly." Then again, given my condition I'm not sure if I remembered correctly.

James sighed dramatically, and gave me a look that said here-we-go-again-me-having-to-explain-to-every-stinking-newcomer. Okay, maybe not the stinking part, but you get the gist.

"First off, you are a demigod. If you weren't, Chiron wouldn't even have let you stay the long. Basically, no humans. Except for Rachel, but you'll probably meet her later. As for your second question, you're right, but-"

Suddenly he was interrupted by an excited squeal. A girl about my age nearly stampeded me over, grinning enthusiastically. Her mousy brown hair hung in waist length waves, and a dash of freckles were prominent under her warm brown eyes. Over her orange shirt and khaki pants she wore a cozy looking beige shawl despite it being relatively warm outside.

"Hi! Are you the newcomer? Great, I love showing people around! Anyways, my name is Pyrias weird name right? Chiron said it meant fire, which is totally fine with me since it totally suits mom. You Artemis's kid? Cool! We've been waiting forever for you, I mean I always thought that Artemis wasn't gonna make a representative since she's always so stubborn and basically gets whatever she wants from Lord Zeus, and, like, she usually never remembers anything that the other gods want her to do, but now you're here!" She paused for breath and beamed at me happily. Peppy, much?

"Er, Selenia, meet Pyrias, child of Hestia." James said, shooting her a stern look. That's when I noticed the little flame shaped mark on her temple.

"Hestia?!" I asked incredulously. "Okay, is this a huge joke?! I know for a fact that Hestia is a maiden goddess."

James rolled his eyes, "That's what I was going to explain. Look, thirteen years ago the gods had a meeting. Hera complained that there wasn't anyone occupying the cabin here, no one to make it grand. Well, grander. That sparked a week long argument that involved getting Chiron into a very tight situation, and chocolate explosions in pretty much every single chocolatier's shop in Paris. Don't ask. Anyways, Zeus was fed up with the arguing and decreed that from now on, every maiden goddess had to create at least one demigod child. Key word create. Hestia agreed to this, but Artemis was kinda fussy about it. Hera, Hestia, and Artemis each chose an infant of their own choosing, anywhere in the world, and infused the powers that a demigod of their kind would have into the baby's soul. Creepy, I know, but from what Chiron has told me, it kinda saved your life." So little time and so much to take in. The fact that I was selectively chosen by an all powerful goddess made me, to be honest, woozy. Well, woozier.

"Okay, how do I know you're not just making this up?" I demanded, trying to cling on hopelessly to reality. Pyrias let out another squeal and hopped up and down.

"Ooh, ooh, me me me!" She shouted, and suddenly a warm fire replaced her eyes, and her eyes glowed like hot coals. Reaching her hand, a green flame erupted in her palm, flickering as it grew larger and larger.

"That's enough," James said quietly, and the flame went poof. Her eyes dimmed until they were her normal brown, and she grinned winningly at me.

"So? Whatcha think?" I think I look like I was gonna have a seizure. Bye bye reality, hello magic.

"Th-tha-that's impossible!" I spluttered, ready to fall over any second now.

James rolled his eyes again, "Of course it's impossible. Unless you're a demigod like us. Believe me now?" I nodded speechlessly, still trying to process what I just saw. You know those really annoying machines that seem to never finish loading? Yeah, I kinda feel like one of those right now.

"Come on, I'll elaborate on it later. First I need to finish the tour. And no," he said firmly as Pyrias opened her mouth, "you're not tagging along Ria. I need to finish it before dinner, which is in forty-five minutes." He grabbed my elbow, and I nearly jerked back at his freezing cold touch.

Noticing the expression on my face he quickly let go and smiled sheepishly, "Oops. Sorry. Anyways, come on, we better go before Ria turns on her chatter box mode again. By the way, welcome to camp. Here are the cabins, one for each god or goddess. Before the renovation it used to be just the Olympians in a huge U shape around Hestia's hearth in the middle of camp. Since the minor gods and goddesses have started claiming their children, Chiron worked on making a whole new wing to accommodate everyone. Now the cabins make a kinda omega shape."

I gaped at the large cabins, each unique. All around us were campers going about their daily lives here, and a volleyball court was filled with sandy haired girls tossing a white ball back and forth, giggling the whole time. An older girl with clear blue eyes and messy blonde hair hurried past with a dark haired, sea green eyed guy tagging behind.

"That's Annabeth with her boyfriend Percy," James said. "They were here when Kronos and Gaea attacked, so they're technically equivalent to celebrities around here. Annabeth is daughter of Athena, and Percy's dad is Poseidon."

"Who's your parent?" I asked curiously, still marveling at the complex and beautiful layout of the camp.

He smirked and replied, "My mom is Hecate. I advise you don't get me mad, don't want you burning up on your first week here do we?" I stared at him, waiting for that joking look, but he looked dead serious. Okay, needless to say James is kinda creeping me out now.

Cabins, monster infested woods, about a million acres of land, and a climbing wall that dumped lava on you... I'm surprised mortals never notice this place. Wait, mortals? Argh, great, now I'm thinking like a demigod. This just gets better and better.

"Oh gods..." James muttered, and cursed under his breath. "Selenia, get out of here."

"What? Why?" I questioned, arching an eyebrow. If James thinks he can boss me around, then he'll be sorely sorry.

"Just go!" He whisper yelled, for the first time showing a hint of fear in his pitch black eyes. His arms looked like they were about to push me in a corner, but then he thought better of it and just gestured urgently to me instead.

"Not until you tell me why," I said stubbornly.

"Look, do you want to-"

"Well, well, well... What have we here? Artemis's runt?" An unpleasant, nasal voice sneered.

Dun dun dun! XD Well, please review guys! I'll be posting chapter four hopefully tomorrow night, in the meantime, happy holidays everyone!
