Chapter 5
A Message from my "True" Mother
So, Connor and I walked back to the cafeteria place at Camp Half-Blood. We talked along the way. He asked me what I liked and didn't like and I asked him the same kinds of questions. We finally reached the cafeteria, and I saw Annabeth and Percy and I decided to sit down with them.
Percy started talking right away.
He said, "Awwwwwww, are Connor and Arrow boyfriend and girlfriend?"
I just kind of laughed and said, "You know Percy, we're both 18, we're not little kids anymore."
Then Percy said, "Well then, why is Connor blushing?"
I turned around and saw that he actually was blushing, and Percy, Annabeth and I teased him about it for a little bit.
Then the ground started shaking around us and I heard a roar. It sounded like it said, "Daughter of the moon, where are you?"
Percy, Annabeth, Connor and I then pulled our weapons out.
The creature was trying to get inside of Camp Half-blood, but it couldn't because of the shield and all. The ground was really started to shake and I was just about to go outside of Camp Half-blood's gate when the creature seemed to have stopped moving.
I then heard it say, "You who claim to be daughter of the moon, your true mother wishes to speak to you."
I got excited thinking that my mom, Artemis, wanted to talk to me. I've only ever spoken to her a few times, as she is a goddess and everything. But then I thought about it for a second and wondered why my mother would send a monster to deliver that message.
I decided to go outside of the gates to see what the monster looked like. It was just walking away but I saw that it was basically just a giant bull. Then it seemed to be dissolved by the moon and floated into thin air.
I went back inside of Camp Half-blood and told Percy, Connor, and Annabeth what happened. Annabeth then told me that cattle, or a bull, can sometimes represent the titan Selene, or the moon titan. Then it made more sense, my "true" mother wanted to speak to me. Maybe she was jealous that my mom is the moon goddess now or something, because I know for sure that Artemis is my real mom. I mean, titans can't have half-human children, right?
