I remember it all as if it were yesterday.

467 days ago I was living my normal life, normal school, normal family and friends, and basic life. Until one particular morning.

I vividly remember that day...

I was working in the library, during my lunch period, When I heard a loud 'Swoosh' It sounded like an arrow.

Little did I know arrows would become a big part of my life soon.

As soon as I turned around I saw a group of ladies, all armed... with bows and hunting knives.

Then I came to a realization, that they looked a lot like Artemis' hunters. The Greek goddess of the Moon. If I recall correctly, she also had a twin, Apollo, the god of the Sun.

The ladies pulled me up.

"Wait! Who are you?!" I yelled. "And where are you taking me?" Why could no one hear me? Can no one else see them? Am I going crazy!?

"Don't worry you'll see for yourself," One of the ladies replied.

They dragged me to a car and seated me, I waited.

"We are Artemis' hunters, we're taking you to Camp- Halfblood." They said, breaking the awkward silence (after they KIDNAPPED me).

"Wait, It's REAL?" I asked, shocked.

"So you know about it?" another girl asked.

"Well, yeah, I study a lot of Greek mythology," I replied.

"Eh... you sure she's Apollo's?" One of the hunters asked another.

"Wait, what?" I questioned.

"Yeah, and keep your mouth shut until we get to camp!" another replied.

"Wait, what do you guys mean? I'm one of Apollo's? Isn't he Artemis' twin brother? What's going on?"I asked, now sounding very desperate.

"She asks A LOT of questions, but she's got a fighting spirit, I like her." One of the hunters said.

The rest of the car ride is quiet.

When we got to Camp Half-Blood I stared out of the window in awe.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was Camp Half-Blood, right there, the real thing.

"This is YOUR stop." The lady that was driving said.

"Yeah I figured, by the way, I didn't catch your name," I replied

"Well, I didn't throw it." She replied, sounding a bit agitated.

"No, I meant-" but she cut me off.

"Violet, my name is Violet."

Then she told me to get off(when the 'chaperon' arrived) and drove away.

The chaperone didn't tell me his name he only situated me, and soon everyone else arrived, no one spoke to me, only a few other people were at my table(who were also chaperoned).

Each table looked different, and I don't mean the table itself, but the people, they looked like they belonged.

Then I remembered, at Camp Half-Blood each table and cabin is separated by parentage (e.g. Hades, Poseidon, Zeus, Apollo), that's why they all looked like they belonged together.

"I wonder which one is my table."  The question pondered in my head, but then I remembered that Apollo is my dad, or at least that's what Violet 'said'.
