Forbidden secrets

zσє̈

My name is zöe. I live at a camp in Long Island, New York called Camp Half-Blood. Camp Half-Blood is a camp where young demigods are brought to learn how to fight and train for the inevitable. I how ever am not here to learn to fight or train, I'm at camp because I live here. Yes, most demigods do live here either during the summer or they don't have family to go back to. Well i'm one of those kids who doesn't have a family.

I have lived at camp half-blood my entire life, except the first 3 years of my life. I was brought to came half-blood 11 years ago today, September 13, 2019. It was exactly 1 month after my little brother Luka was born and it also happens to be my birthday.

I don't remember much about my parents or even my last name. I have tried to find out who my parents are and what happened to them. Every time I try I'm always shut down or told you will find out some day. Well it's been 11 years and I still don't know so I just keep doing what I do every day of every year. Keep up on my schoolwork, clean, take care of the horses and don't forget about eating and then repeat it again the next day.

I've been doing this same thing every day for the past 7 years. I also take care of my little brother Luka and make sure he doesn't get into trouble. But today is a little different because today is the great celebration of all those before me who lost their lives in the two great wars. I know what your thinking why on your birthday?

There is a very simple explanation for that question. My parents weren't the only demigods taken today. Many other demigods where taken 11 years ago today along with two of camp half-bloods most valuable demigods. So the camp director who was once the director of camp activities, Chiron, made today the day we celebrate all those who gave their lives for this camp and out generation of demigods.

I'm ok with sharing my birthday with this celebration because I'm not the type of person who likes to celebrate my birthday. Since I was never around my actual family to celebrate my birthday I never showed any interest in throwing a party or hanging out with friends. Birthday's can be really upsetting for me since it's also the day my parents went missing. I normally spend my birthdays with camping with Luka on top a Cliff over looking camp. Of course we do this after all our chores are done. But this year I have a feeling that it's going to be a little different, I've had a strange feeling all day but I can't seem to figure out why. So I'm just going to carry on with my day and forget about it.
