A/N: Sorry for the delay with this chapter. Band camp came and classes started. I hope this chapter can make up for the wait.

I knew I was asleep, but I wasn't in a normal dream. I hardly ever dream, and it normally isn't in color when I do. I was racing up a hill while carrying a brown haired boy in between myself and an older woman. I felt as though I knew the woman, but I just could not put my finger on it. She seemed to be in her thirties or forties with long brown hair and blue eyes that seemed to change when light flashed.

We ran as hard as we could, but we couldn't rest the hill. The woman turned back to whatever was chasing us and took off in that direction. I felt my dream body scream, but had no idea what I was saying. In a flash of lightning, I finally saw what was behind us, the minotaur. It grabbed the woman and she disappeared in a flash of golden light. And then the dream ended.

I woke up and stared at my ceiling fan for a couple of minutes. I had never had a dream like that before, but it felt as though it was real. It seemed to be a memory, but I knew that it wasn't mine. I didn't know either of the other two people who appeared in the dream, the only thing that I could identify was the Minotaur. That part of the dream didn't make any sense, the Minotaur is a myth.

After trying to figure out the meaning of the dream, I decided to roll onto my side and look at my clock. It was 11:30, Chuck and I were supposed to leave by 10:00. I jumped out of bed and got dressed as quickly as I could. There was a plate of breakfast food ready for me when I got downstairs.

"Good morning sleepyhead. How late did you go to sleep?" Kayla asked while pouring herself what I believe is her third cup of coffee.

"I didn't go to sleep that late, probably just my body catching up from the past few weeks." While the English final was a joke, I actually had real final exams and essays to write.

"You and Lou both. I swear, I could've been screaming bloody murder this morning, and no one would have even noticed." Kayla replied while sipping on her cup.

"To be fair, this is still earlier than when you get up after a day of practice," Lou drawled while wiping her eyes and sitting down at the table across from me.

"Yes, but I have an excuse for being so tired those days." Kayla replied while setting a cup of coffee in front of Lou and planting a kiss on her cheek.

Kayla sat down next to Lou and I was prepared for some conversation about my expected behavior at this camp. I'm pretty sure that I mentioned Lou's desire for me to be the best, and Kayla's relatively lax nature, but I had a feeling that those viewpoints would shift. Lou didn't really care about what I did outside of school as long as I made it home in one piece. Kayla had me try just about every extracurricular I could. I had mentioned that I wanted to try archery one time, and she trained me the way she would her students, very hard. I'm a decent shot, but not a Olympian.

"So LJ, what has Chuck told you about the camp so far?" Kayla asked, which caused Lou to look up from her food and wait for my response.

"Not a whole lot. He said that it's on Long Island, and that his dad used to work for the camp before he retired. I know that you guys used to go there when you were my age." I responded in between forkfuls of eggs.

"That is all true, but there's more that you need to know."

Lou stopped eating and looked at Kayla, "Are you sure that we should tell him about this?"

"It'll make more sense from us than Chiron."

I sat there staring at the two of them, but when I heard Chiron I had to ask a question. "Isn't Chiron the name of the trainer of heroes from Greek myth?"

"Yes, he also happens to be the director of Camp Half-Blood," Kayla told me.

"Half-Blood? Sounds offensive, what time period are we living in?"

"It depends on who says it, but it's also an identifier. Only half-bloods can attend camp, we're also called demigods."

I stopped eating and just looked at them, "We? Demigods? Did both of you hit your heads last night or something?"

Lou looked at Kayla and laughed before turning to me and responded, "No, we're being serious LJ. Haven't you ever seen something out of the blue, something that couldn't be explained and when you asked someone else about it that looked at you like you were crazy? Or have you had a dream that turned out to be almost prophetic, or seemed so real you had to think about whether or not it was actually a dream?"

"Well I had a dream last night that fits the bill, and I guess I've seen some things, but that doesn't mean anything."

"Yes it does LJ. Demigods, especially older ones, attract monsters, which can't be seen by most people without godly blood in their bodies. My mother was very thorough when she created the Mist."

"I'm sorry, your mother created mist? Isn't that a natural phenomenon? And if we're all demigods, why don't monsters attack us at home?"

"No, she didn't create mist. She created the Mist, it serves as the veil between the mythical and mortal worlds. That way mortals aren't totally freaked out if they see a demigod fighting a monster. Monsters don't attack us here because I know a couple spells that suppress the scent of demigods."

"So who is your mother then?"

"My mom is Hecate, goddess of magic. Kayla's father is Apollo, the god of archery and music."

I turned to Kayla. "Is that why you're so good at archery? And isn't it kind of cheating if your dad is a god?"

Kayla laughed and booped my nose, "My father definitely helped with my archery skills, but I also worked very hard to get where I am. And no it's not cheating, especially if no one can prove it. Our godly heritage can't be seen in our DNA, it's just kind of there. It's also the reason most of us are dyslexic and ADHD, but that's a conversation Chiron will have to have with you."

"If one of my parents is a god, is that why they didn't want me?"

"Maybe, but there has to be other reasons. Your godly parent has to claim you at camp, which should help you learn more about your family. But remember, Lou and I love you like you were our own blood."

I just kind of sat there and tried to process everything that was just said. After a little bit, Lou and Kayla moved to the seats next to me and pulled me into a hug.

"We know it's a lot LJ, but we figured it would be easier to understand coming from us and not somebody else." Kayla told me.

I nodded and pulled them both tighter. We eventually broke from the hug and Lou told me, "Go get your bags, Chuck and his dad should be here in a few to bring you to camp."

A/N: So there's chapter 3. If you guys are enjoying the story, please let me know. I want to continue writing this, but I need an audience for that to happen. Also, I have no idea when the next updates will come. I'm going to try and update as much as I can, but I can't promise anything. Once again, if you have any demigod OCs that you would like to see in the coming chapters, please let me know. I'm drawing a blank. Till next time.
