I walked through the entrance, and made my way to a girl and a boy talking. As soon as they spot me, they walk over to me.

"Are you alright?" The boy asks, panicked.

"I'm fine, why do you ask?" I ask.

"Because usually when people come to camp, they're being chased by a monster." He said.

"I was already chased by a monster tonight, thank you very much." I said sarcastically.

"What's your name?" The girl asks.

"Isabella Covelli, but you can call me Bella." I said.

"I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. This is Percy, son of Poseidon." Annabeth said.

"Nice to meet you." I said.

"Let's get you to the Hermes cabin, then." Annabeth says, smiling.

"Will he mind?" I asked.

"Bella, Hermes is the God of travelers. All new demigods that haven't been claimed stay there." She said.

"For how long?" I ask.

"Well, until they're claimed." She said.

She walks me to an array of cabins, each with a number on it. She leads me to the final cabin on the left, cabin 11.

We walk in and she leads me to a bunk bed.

"Just try to get some sleep, ok." She tells me.

"Ok." I say.

**************
I wake up the next morning to Annabeth hovering over me.

"What are you doing here?" I ask

"We need to talk to Chiron." She said.

"Who?" I ask.

"Just come with me." She says as she drags me out of bed.

She leads me to a four story building she called 'The Big House.' We walk inside to a half human, half horse. A centaur.

"You must be Isabella. I'm Chiron." He says.

"Hi Chiron." I say with a smile.

"You came here last night, yes?" He asked.

"Yes, I did." I say.

"Did you make your way here yourself?" He asks

"No, my dad drove me." I say.

"Your dad is mortal, that means your mother is the goddess." He says.

"Ok. Do you know who?" I ask.

"I'm afraid not deary. But don't worry, we will soon."

"Chiron, we should head to breakfast." Annabeth says.

She pulls me out the door and over to a pavilion. Everyone is already eating. I turn back and ask her where everyone got the food from.

"The plate and cup are magic. You say what you want." She says.

So I said sprite and a turkey sandwich. Then I noticed everyone get up and throw part of their meal to the fire. I must've looked confused because Annabeth came over and said, "For the gods."

I walked over to the fire and tore off a piece of my sandwich.

As I threw it in the fire, I thought

Whoever you may be, please tell me.
************
After breakfast, everyone went to different places. I decided to try archery. Annabeth and Percy followed me. I twisted my bracelet, and felt my bow and sheath.

I lined myself up with the target and let an arrow fly. It hit the center.

"Wow, you're amazing. I'd say you were Apollo's daughter, but your dad is mortal!" Annabeth said.

I hit it again.

And again.

And again.

I was really good at it.

*************
When the day was over, I sunk into bed, exhausted. I looked around the room, and noticed a really bright, silvery light.

And then I realized, it was coming from me.

So, who's Isabella's mom?

Do you see why she's called 'The Forbidden Daughter?'
