Thank you: Thank you Calypso102 for giving me the plot idea for this chapter. I morphed your idea a little (or a lot depends on how you look at it). UnidentifiedHalfBlood3927, thanks for reminding me of how I've been organizing my chapters. Stories Untold you are a lifesaver! I wouldn't have the middle to end part of this chapter without your help. Finally, thank you PowerofWords12 for coming up with the title of this chapter and for being an awesome beta reader.

Disclaimer: See chapter one, if your name is Ryan Kerr (or if you know someone by that name) I'm sorry that my characters hate you/him. I don't approve of making fun of people.

Antigone and Ismene are nine. Lorianna got sent to Camp Half-Blood already. I didn't want to write a long chapter about her leaving... The twins arrive at Camp Half-Blood before Castor and Pollux.

"I hate you Ryan Kerr!" Ismene sniffled. The boy standing in front of her continued to laugh. It had all started when Ismene and Antigone decided to go for a walk. Antigone had gotten bored and decided to go use the bathroom. She told Ismene to keep walking for a little bit and that they would meet up at the bright red bench between the only oak trees in the park. Ismene walked and nearly bumped into Ryan Kerr. He always enjoyed making fun of Ismene and her sister. Ryan had shoved her to the ground and yelled at her; he had said something like "Why don't you watch where you're going?"

"Not so strong without your sister or your crazy friend." Ryan chided. "Speaking of, where are they?"

"Lori is at camp for the summer and I-I don't know where my s-sister is." Ismene took a deep breath to slow her breathing down. She wasn't going to show this boy how sad she was feeling by blubbering and stuttering like a fool. Ten, nine, eight she counted backwards in her head. Anastasia had taught her to count backwards from ten to one while taking a deep breath in order to control her emotions. It normally worked.

"Good, I can make fun of you even more."

"What did I do to yo-" Ismene started to ask, her voice sounded way more confident than she felt. Seven, six, five

"God you're so stupid. Nobody likes you." four, three "Your father left you and your sister because he hates the two of you so much. When will you learn to read?"

Two and a half, two... Ismene's arms shook in anger. Her hands balled into fists as she fought back the urge to punch the boy that stood in front of her.

"You're a freak." Ryan spat.

That was the final straw. Ismene was ready to fling herself at Ryan. She glared at him and scowled. Suddenly, Ryan started screaming.

"Make it stop! Make it stop!" He yelled. His eyes were shut in horror. Ismene stared in shock and Ryan continued to scream.

"AHHHHH!" Ryan was rolling on the ground in pain. Ismene blinked in confusion and slowly backed away from Ryan. He stopped screaming when Ismene's lips changed from a scowl to a slight frown.

Ryan stood up and stared at Ismene. "H-how did you do that?" He backed away and ran for it. Ismene felt confused and rather dizzy. She walked back to the bench that she and Antigone had planned on meeting at. Antigone was already sitting on the bench. She looked at her sister and took in her appearance.

"Why did Ryan Kerr just run by here? He kept looking behind him searching for a monster or something."

"It's a long story." Ismene said as she took a seat beside her sister. "Let's just say Ryan won't bother us anymore."

"You aren't telling me something."

"I don't know what I did." Ismene shrugged. "One minute, Ryan was making fun of me... Next thing I know, he's writhing on the ground in pain, yelling at me to stop."

"You're telling me that you managed to accidentally put Ryan through emotional pain?" Antigone asked in amazement.

"I suppose so but that doesn't make it right."

"Boys are stupid." Antigone stated.

"I couldn't agree more." A voice said from behind the twin girls.

"Yeah, me too." Ismene answered.

"Wait... that wasn't you Ismene." Antigone said in fear. She and Ismene quickly turned around. They relaxed when they saw an eleven-year-old girl with beautiful auburn hair. Her eyes were a bright silver color, almost like the moon.

"Hello?" Ismene acknowledged the girl.

"Who are you?" Antigone asked.

"I am Artemis."

"Hi Artemis! I'm Antigone and this is my sister Ismene."

"It's nice to meet you." Ismene added.

"It's nice to meet you too."

"Are you here by yourself? Our mom doesn't let us go anywhere by ourselves. She thinks that there are powers in numbers." Antigone mumbled.

"Yes I'm here by myself. My parents live close to here though."

"Oh."

"Where are your parents?"

"Our father passed away before we were born... Mom doesn't like talking about him." Ismene whispered. "Our mother is at home. We really should go back."

Anastasia was sitting outside of her house on the ravishing porch she had designed before the twins were born. A straw sunhat was on her head and large black sunglasses covered her eyes. She was reading a magazine when a white van stopped outside of the driveway. Ana looked up from her magazine and eyed the van as a man stepped out of it. He looked oddly familiar.

The man made his way along the sidewalk, coming to a stop at the bottom of the stairs that led up to the porch. Anastasia looked at his face and her heart skipped a beat.

"Dionysus what are you doing here?" She asked as she took the sunglasses off her face.

"I've come to warn you." He said.

"Warn me about what?" Ana asked. Dionysus had already warned her about needing to send the girls to camp. The time for them to go hadn't come already… had it?

"Artemis is attempting to get your daughters to become her huntresses as we speak. Knowing my sister, she's probably mentioned something about them being half-bloods. Knowing the twins, they'll probably come back home with her. I can offer to bring them to Camp Half-Blood if Antigone and Ismene haven't said Artemis' vow when they get here." Dionysus answered in a quiet voice. He didn't want the other mortals to overhear their discussion.

Anastasia's face paled. "Does this mean that you're taking my girls after this is over?"

"Unfortunately, it does. Normally I don't get myself into the ordeals of girls and Artemis but I don't want my daughters to become Hunters. I don't think its right for her to be able to go around asking girls to become her servants. I also don't want to see how Artemis reacts if the girls say no."

Ana nodded her head. She looked rather glum. "I guess I should go pack their bags. You can sit in the chair right there." Dionysus sat in the chair that Anastasia pointed at and watched her enter the house.

Anastasia was back outside within five minutes of entering the house. She arrived with two large duffel bags. One was bright red and the other was purple. Antigone's bag was the red one. Ana set the bags down beside her chair and sat down.

"That was fast." Dionysus mumbled.

"I know." The two continued to talk for a few minutes.

"Do you mind if I walk with you?" Artemis asked.

"Nope." Antigone said.

The three girls walked in silence. Artemis was the first to speak.

"If I told you that I could offer the two of you a life of immortality, without any bothersome men, what would your answer be?"

"You could do that?" The twins asked in unison.

"Yes I could." Artemis answered with a subtle smirk. "You would; however, need to state an oath. And to put it in general terms, that means that you can never interact or fall in love with boys. You must give up the life you currently lead."

"That sounds cool." Ismene mused.

"Why would you want to give away the life you have right now?"

"Think about it sis... No stupid boys like Ryan bothering us."

"So? If we were to accept this, we wouldn't be able to date or get married when we're older." Antigone groaned. She was the only one who saw the downside of Artemis' offer. "What about mom?"

"You will be able to visit your mother from time to time." Artemis answered.

"This seems like such a huge offer that you're making... Almost unrealistic." Ismene said.

"Of course it's unrealistic!" Antigone almost yelled. "What eleven year old can go around promising immortality? This must be a joke or something." Ismene, Antigone, and Artemis had arrived at the twins' house. None of them noticed Anastasia or the man sitting beside her. A white van with a Delphi Strawberry Service logo sat outside the yard.

"I happen to be an im-" Artemis started to say but she was interrupted by something clamping over her mouth. Antigone and Ismene looked at their companion and were surprised to see a grape vine wrapped around her mouth.

"Artemis, they don't know." The man on the porch said as the goddess ripped the vine off of her face.

"Was that necessary?" She asked.

"Yes it was. Father would kill me if he found out I touched you. You are his little princess after all." Artemis stuck her tongue out in response.

"He's your brother?" Ismene asked in an attempt to make sense of the situation.

"Unfortunately..."

"But he's old." Antigone pointed out.

"Excuse me?" The man asked.

"Artemis is eleven and you're like our mom's age. It seems sort of odd that you two are siblings."

"Well we are." Artemis stated. "Now about my off-"

"It just so happens that I have an offer for the girls as well." The man smirked.

"Oh great." Artemis rolled her eyes.

Antigone and Ismene stared at Artemis and her brother. Neither of them said anything.

"Antigone, Ismene," The man acknowledged the twins. Keep it informative but they don't know what they are so don't mention anything about them being half-bloods, the gods, or anything normal at the camp. He thought before speaking. "My name is Mr. D., I run a camp for children with talents like your own. The camp is in Long Island, New York. If you chose to go, you will be with other campers who are like you. Ismene, your friend Lorianna is already at the camp. She is a year round camper. If you go, you'll be able to see her again."

"How do you know so much about us?" Ismene asked in awe.

"I was talking to your mother before you two arrived at your home with Artemis."

"Oh. Okay."

"Mom, what do you think about this?" Antigone asked.

"I don't want to lose either of you girls." Anastasia looked up. Her eyes were watering but she wasn't crying. "If you go with Artemis, I'll rarely see you. Going with Mr. D would be best. At least I'll be able to see you during the school year when you come home. The camp will help you and your sister a lot. You'll be able to learn with kids like you. Mr. D will ensure that you two are okay."

The twins nodded their heads in thought. Neither of them realized that they were being lied to by both of their parents.

"I'll go to the camp." Antigone said after a second of thinking.

"I-I guess I'll go to the camp as well." Ismene said. She sighed when Artemis' face fell. "Artemis, your offer seemed pretty amazing at first but I'd rather stay with my family and friends. I'm sorry."

Artemis shrugged in response. She glared at Dionysus. Anger was radiating off of the goddess' body. Luckily, she was able to control it.

"I'm going back." She announced and walked to the sidewalk. Dionysus and Anastasia watched the goddess disappear around the corner.

"I've already packed your bags girls." Anastasia said and pointed to the two suitcases beside her.

"We're leaving now?" Ismene asked in shock.

"It's best that you do."

"But mom we have play rehear-" Antigone started to say.

"I love you girls. You mean the world to me." Ana sniffled. "This camp is much more important than the musical. You'll be back at the end of the summer anyways. I'll write to you and keep in contact." She stood up and hugged Antigone. "Antigone, please behave." She whispered into her daughters long brown hair. "Watch out for your sister."

"I will mom." Antigone said as she forced herself away from her mom's hug. Ismene stepped forward and hugged her mom. Tears were falling down her face.

"I'll miss you mom." She whispered.

"It'll only be for two months." Anastasia said. "I love you."

"I love you too." Ismene said. Her mom let go of her and handed her a suitcase. Antigone had already grabbed her suitcase. She was standing by Dionysus.

"You two can sit in the back of the van." Dionysus said as he opened the door.

"Why can't I sit up front?" Antigone asked.

"You're too young." Anastasia called out.

"Fine." She shrugged and claimed a seat in the van. Ismene approached the vehicle, turned around, waved at her mom and slowly sat down beside her sister. The door to the van shut and the twins could just see their mother and Mr. D talking. Neither of them could hear the conversation.

"Ana, the twins are beautiful." Dionysus whispered. "You've done an excellent job with raising the twins."

"Thanks. I wish you cold have been there to help me raise them." Anastasia sighed. "Please, promise me that you'll protect my daughters. Ismene, she is a sweet and caring girl. She tends to be very emotional at times. I've taught her how to control her anger. Be careful with her, she gets her feelings hurt very easily. Antigone is the opposite of her sister. She is loud, outgoing, and rebellious at times. She sticks up for her sister and hates anyone who picks on the two of them... She will hurt people if she gets mad enough. The two of them equal each other out."

"I promise." Dionysus said. "Do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Just don't let them get hurt. I will be very mad if either of them come home wounded."

"You worry too much Ana." Dionysus chuckled. He grabbed Anastasia and quickly hugged her.

"I'm a single mother of identical twin girls. The last ten years of my life have been spent on worrying about my twins."

"I should go now. Our children look rather annoyed and anxious." Dionysus walked to the driver's seat of the van. He could just hear Anastasia say "take care of my girls" over the roar of the motor starting.
