Okay so I have two things so say:

1. Thank you thank you thank you to those of you who have started following my story and favorite it! It means a lot to me that people are reading my story :)

2. I had a few complaints about the fact that Artemis had a daughter even though she swore to be a maiden. This is all part of the story. I am working on reasons as to why Artemis would give up her virginity but so far i haven't thought of any that would be reason enough. (If you have any suggestions please PM me and I will be happy to consider your suggestion :)) So if you don't like my story you don't have to read it but this is my story and it is going to go the way I want it to go. Thanks for understanding.

And now for chapter 3! Enjoy!

Chapter Three

I had to give myself a few minutes of recovery time before I rejoined the party. The information I had retained in the past ten minutes was enough to span a lifetime. Which is to say, too much. I was still looking at the place that my mother was standing only seconds before. I needed to tell my dad to take me to this camp. I reminded myself to move and I made my way to the door.

There was laughter coming from the living room. I stood in the doorway trying to catch my father's eye. He saw me and instantly got up to meet me. He must have seen the look on my face and know what I had just been through.

"Ariadne," he said, "What did your mother tell you."

"She—she said I was a demigod and that she was a… a Greek goddess."

He nodded like he was expecting more information.

"And she said you needed to take me to camp as soon as possible."

I looked into my father's eyes and I saw fear. Fear of what was to be in my future. I didn't like seeing that in his eyes. The one I look up to the most for safety, was afraid.

"She said I was in danger." I said quickly, "Dad, what is endangering me?"

He didn't seem to hear me though. His mind seemed to be going a mile a minute. It was almost as if he was looking through me, not quite focusing on my face.

His eyes shot to mine and he gripped my shoulders, "Did she say anything else?"

"She said she loves us both and that she'll visit us again soon. Dad what do we do?"

"Exactly what she said. I'm going to take you to camp."

I felt bad kicking my friends out of my birthday party without explanation but I promised I would tell them someday. I could tell they were curious but they both played it off like it was no big deal. Apparently my aunt was aware of this whole Greek gods business because my dad told her exactly what was going on and she was out of here like that (which also made me curious because I had never met Madison's dad or even heard about him for that matter).

We were driving on this old country road in Long Island Sound with not a thing in sight when my dad just stopped right on the side of the road. On our right was a big green field with cows grazing peacefully and on our left was a big grassy hill with a lone pine tree on top.

"So where it this 'camp'?" I asked when we had parked.

"It's just over that hill," my dad said "but you'll have to go alone. I can't come with you."

"Why not?" I grabbed a bag that I had speed packed on our way out of the apartment.

"The camp is protected by a magical force field that keeps mortals from entering."

After everything I heard and saw that day I hardly gave this a second thought.

"So, this is it then?" I asked. I could feel a lump forming in my throat. "I'll get to see you again, right?"

"Of course, Ary, camp is only for the summer. You'll come home before school starts again."

We sat there in an awkward silence for a minute. My dad shifted in his seat and spoke again.

"Ariadne, just remember that I love you more than anything in the world. And your mother is always looking after you."

I reached over and gave him a hug "I love you too, daddy."

"Okay," he said, "you'd better get going. When you get there, go see Chiron. He'll help you get settled."

"Okay." I shouldered my bag and got out of the car. "Bye, dad."

I shut the door and made my way up the hill.

During the hike I did a quick once-over of the longest day in my life. I finished school for the summer, I had the best birthday party I ever, I got to know my mom for the very first time, I found out I was the daughter of a the Goddess of the Hunt, and shipped off to a place I didn't know, all while leaving my semi-average life behind, never to see it again. And I have to say, it was probably one of the best days of my life.

Thanks for reading :) Hope you liked it. And don't forget to REVIEW! I love hearing back from my readers :) Thanks again
