A/N: I do not own PJO or HoO, but gods I wished I did! That is the last time I write that for this story. Hope you enjoy.

Bay's POV

Hi, my name is Bay. I just turned twelve. I have blonde curly hair and sea green eyes. I am a lot tanner than my mom. I know all about the gods and Camp Half-Blood, which I will be attending this year.

My mom's name is Annabeth Chase. She has blonde curly hair and grey eyes. My grandmother is Athena, goddess of wisdom. Whenever I ask my mom about my dad she always tells me that he died in a battle, but I know it's not true. I know he is out there and I want to meet him.

"Bay!" my mom yelled up to me.

"I'll be down in a second!" I yelled back. I was packing the last of my belongings before I headed off to camp for the rest of the summer. I ran downstairs and outside. I jumped into the passenger seat of my mom's silver Honda.

"You seem excited." My mom told me.

"I am, so what's the plan? Will I be, you know, claimed?" I asked my mom. She told me of all of her adventures when she went to this camp, but I knew she had been holding stuff back.

"Chiron said it would be best for grandma to claim you, okay?" she asked me.

"Who was dad's godly parent?" I asked.

"That's not important, do you understand me?" she asked again, avoiding the question.

"Yes mom, I understand." I told her. We drove in silence the rest of the way there.

"Okay, I'll be visiting often, so I'll see you soon!" she told me as I got out of the car. I ran up the hill where there were older campers waiting for newer arrivals. My mom sped away immediately.

"Hi, my name is Joel Grace, son of Aphrodite." A boy who looked about a year older than me introduced himself. He had short blonde hair, but I couldn't tell you what color his eyes were because they were like Kaleidoscopes.

"I'm Bay Chase." I introduced myself.

"Come with me." He said.

"Okay." I piped in.

"So, this is your first year?" he asked me.

"Yeah, but I'm sure this will be fun." I told him.

"I see you came here without a satyr." He said.

"Yeah, I was found by an older demigod." I confessed to him.

"Just so you know, I'm not really the son of Aphrodite." He added.

"Then who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Aphrodite's grandson." He told me.

"Who are your parents?" I asked.

"Piper McLean and Jason Grace." He said.

"So, who is your other grandparent?" I asked him another question.

"My mom is Aphrodite's daughter and my dad is Jupiter's son." He told me.

"Really? That is so cool." I told him.

"Yeah, I don't know why I'm telling you this. I don't know, I just feel like you'd understand." He said.

"I do, don't tell anyone, but my grandmother is going to claim me tonight as her daughter." I confessed.

"Who is your grandmother?" he asked me.

"Athena, my mom is Annabeth Chase. I don't know who my dad or my grandfather are." I told him. Joel was so easy to talk to. I found myself telling him everything.

"You know, I bet your dad was a powerful demigod." Joel told me.

"Why would you say that?" I asked him.

"I don't know, but you definitely have a very powerful aura coming from you." He said.

"Um, thanks? But anyway, your secret is safe with me as long as mine is safe with you." I told him. He nodded and began to lead me around camp giving me the full blown tour.

"Bay!" I heard someone yell. I turned around to find my best-friend Alexis Zhang.

"Alexis? What are you doing here?" I asked her. She had cocoa brown eyes with a pale complexion. Her silky black hair was pulled into a ponytail.

"My parents are both demigods. My mom, Hazel, is the daughter of Pluto and my dad, Frank, is the son of Mars. My parents said that Mars will claim me as his own kid however. What about you?" She told me.

"My mom, Annabeth, is the daughter of Athena, but I still have no clue about my dad. All I know is that he had to be some strong demigod." I told her. After catching up, I introduced her to Joel and he told her how his situation was the same as ours.

"Alexis, I was trying to show you around!" a boy with brown eyes and curly light brown hair yelled. He had a darker complexion. He too was a year older than me.

"Hey Rex!" Joel called.

"Hey man!" the boy named Rex called back. He jogged over to be with the three of us.

"Rex, this is Bay and I see you have already met her friend Alexis. Bay, this is my best friend Rex Valdez." Joel introduced us. He told us how Rex also had been claimed by his grandfather, Hephaestus.

"So who are your parents?" I asked him.

"My dad, Leo, is the son of Hephaestus and my mom, Reyna, is the daughter of Bellona." He said. The four of us walked and talked as if we were best friends. A horn sounded.

"Are you girls ready to be claimed?" Joel asked Alexis and me. We both nodded as we made our way towards the pavilion where Rex said they ate.
