The Daughter of Artemis

Chapter 1 ~ y/n's P.O.V

Edit: This is future me from 2-ish years later and I would like to say this: 1. This book is so bad (and I know that lol) 2. Please recognize I wrote this in 5th grade and I'm now in 7th so at the time I wrote is I was a much worse writer 3. Thank you guys sm for the support, ily all 4. I'm sorry for the trashy asf ending I was just over writing this lol

Disclaimer: I do NOT own anything in this book except for y/n and her dad, Camp Half-Blood, and the rest of the characters in this book belong to Rick Riordan. Though over time I may create a couple more characters, for now, I just have y/n and her dad. Now please enjoy "The Daughter of Artemis"! :)

Also, I am aware that Thalia is not a hunter at this point I just made her one to help with the story (btw the character is the same age as Annabeth, that age being 12.)

I was coming home from a regular day of 6th grade when my dad comes up to me and says "We need to talk". I was nervous, I mean whenever those words come out of a parents mouth that usually means it's serious.

 We lived in an average size 2 bed, 2 bath apartment and it was just the two of us. I thought it was nice like that, no annoying younger or older siblings, just the two of us. My dad never talked about my mom he said she had left us right after I was born and they had never gotten married. We have no pictures or videos of her I mean like nothing of her, just memories and stories that my dad would tell me of her. He never even told me her name which was weird, but after years of pressing and no answers I gave up. 

We went into my room to talk because my dad had said this was a serious conversation and I feel most comfortable in my room. "Sooooooo, what are we talking about?" I said. "We are talking about your mom." My dad said. "What about her?" I said. "Well we don't have the time to explain everything but I will explain as much as much as I can, the rest will be explained at Camp Half-Blood." He said. What is "Camp Half-Blood" ?!  What about my mom? And, why don't we have time to explain everything?! I need answers!" I said.

"I know, I know, but I need you to listen, I am about to give you a lot of information that is 100% true but I need you to believe me. You know I would never lie to you." He said. "Ok, I will believe you, I mean how bad or crazy could it be?" I said. "Ok, so 13 years ago I met your mom I was out camping by myself, I was 26 years old. I was out getting wood for the fire when I heard voices, they all sounded female. I hadn't known there was anyone else camping on the campground so I decided to go say hi. Little did I know that these were not campers, it was Artemis the goddess, with her hunters. I went to go say hi when a girl that looked about 16 with short, choppy black hair comes up to me and says, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" I say, "I'm Paul and I just wanted to come to say hi since I hadn't known there was anyone else camping here." The girl says " I'm Thalia and I am going to go get our leader to decide what to do with you."  

I wait for about a minute and Thalia comes back with a slim, beautiful Woman. She has Black, long, straight hair that goes to about the hip. She has a crown on, that at the peak has a bow and arrow and crescent moon intertwined. She has brown riding jodhpurs on and a loose white blouse with black leather boots with a teeny bit of heel. She had a bow slung around her shoulder.

"Hello," she said. "I am Artemis goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, and the moon." "I believe you," I had said. Artemis said, "I didn't ask you to, now come with me." I did as she asked and she brought me into a tent that was much bigger than it looked and had lots of food and stuff in it, though I had a feeling that if I ate or picked up anything I would be beheaded before I could say "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" so I didn't. Artemis said "sit down" I did as she asked and she told me about the hunters and about greek mythology and if I could see certain things (to see if I could see through the mist, I could). After her offering for me to be one of her hunters and me declining, she told me that she was testing me to see if I would join the hunters after knowing her for about 20min. or make the most likely better decision by respectably declining. (Also she would have informed him that this was a woman's only group so I mean only someone stupid would be like "Yeah imma join an only woman's group where men are not allowed!")

I asked her if I would see her again and after her saying "Maybe" I left. Over the next year, I kept seeing her, and exactly one year from when I met her she gave me you.

You were the perfect mix of us. With your (h/c) hair (that now goes to her knees) (s/c) skin, and (e/c) eyes you were perfect. After she gave me you, she said sometime in the 12th year of your life to take you to Camp Half-blood, that you'll be safe there from monsters, she handed me a paper with an address and then she disintegrated into silver dust. And I haven't seen your mom since"

"Wow" I would have said more but I was in too much shock, and surprisingly I believed every word he had just said. I had known about greek mythology for a long time and knew a lot about it so this wasn't a whole new idea to me.

"You need to pack a backpack with hygiene stuff and clothes and anything else you want, you can bring your phone and computer but don't use them 'till someone explains that, you'll know what I mean later." I went and packed a bag with everything my dad says and a couple of other things and went into the living room where my dad was waiting. "Why do I need to pack this bag, are we going anywhere?" I said. "Yes we are going to Camp Half-Blood" He said. We got in our SUV and drove to a hill on Long Island Sound where I could see some buildings at the top and my dad said "Hop out kiddo, take your bag and go to that big building and ask for Chiron"

He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and said "I'll see you soon sweetie, go on". I got out of the car and started up the hill, not knowing if I was just walking into a whole world of trouble.

ahhhhh I did it I completed my first chapter.  I know it's cringy but I'm really proud of myself lol. Sorry, the chapter is kinda short but it took me an hour. This is my first book and I will (probably) make others after this and they will all intertwine. Anyway, I'm open to constructive criticism, and plz let me know if there is a grammar issue. Again thank you so much for reading and don't worry again I won't take forever to update. Thank you! :)
