Travis stared at the black haired girl, and the close cropped brown haired boy with, what was it?

It wasn't sadness, and it definitely wasn't happiness.

It was jealousy.

That's right, Travis Stoll, prankster extraordinaire was jealous.

Jealous of Katie Gardner and whats-his-face

Oh yeah, Tyler. Tyler McAlister.

He scowled angrily as he remembered that name.

FLASHBACK

"Is she good in bed?" someone asked so quietly, that only Connor and Travis could hear.

Travis's head snapped up, glaring at the boy who just simply raised an eyebrow. Travis gave the boy a mental examination. He was good – looking, he presumed, son of Aphrodite or Apollo probably, Travis decided mentally.

Connor also glared at him, even though Katie didn't hate him as much as she hated her brother, Connor still cared about Katie.

The boy asked again, "Is she good in bed?"

Travis retorted angrily, "Why do you care?"

The boy shrugged, "I wanted to do her, and she is quite pretty actually." He said as he sighed longingly at the Demeter table, "But I heard she was taken, or at least I think so. So I wanted to know, if you know, could break up with her, so I could, you know, sleep with her?" he said casually as though it was an everyday topic.

Travis glared at him angrily before shaking his head furiously.

The boy shrugged, "Suit yourself, I'll get her eventually," as he walked away.

Travis called out, "Dude, what's your name?"

The boy turned around, an arrogant smirk on his handsome face, "Tyler. Tyler McAlister. Son of Aphrodite."

END OF FLASHBACK

Travis scowled angrily as he remembered that. He continued scowling when he remembered when he was going to warn Katie.

Stupid boy.

FLASHBACK –

Travis stood there, watching the love of his life flirting with some Aphrodite kid.

He scowled when he recognized the boy's face – Tyler McAlister.

He had to warn her. After all, he wasn't going to let her succumb to his charms.

Before he could think of something else, he found himself standing there, by an angry Katie, and an uncomfortable yet smug looking Tyler.

Katie hissed, "Go away STOLL! I'm NOT going to talk to you. Leave! Can't you see, I'm a bit busy here!" she said gesturing towards Tyler.

The words stung. Hard.

It wasn't the first time that he had heard those same exact words. Nevertheless, he covered it up with a smile, pretending all was fine. He turned to Tyler, "Hey man, I need to steal Katie for a second."

Katie frowned angrily, "NO! You're probably just going to prank me," she said, throwing her hands in the air.

Tyler chuckled, a bit sadistic, to be honest, "Yeah, it's all right. You can go, I'll be waiting."

Katie glared at me angrily before stomping off to the corner and I followed.

"What do you want." She said, straight to business. She folded her arms and rocked from side to side, watching him.

He hesitated, choosing his words carefully, "You should stay away from Tyler. I've heard, um, things."

Katie stared at him with utter bewilderment on her face, "You're kidding, right? He's as much of a player as you are, if not less! So I don't see, how this would help me, and he's really nice," she finished, crossing her arms.

Travis stared at her, "Katie –

She put her hand up to stop him, "No, Travis. I think I know what I'm doing, I'm not a little kid."

END OF FLASHBACK

He sighed as he banged his head onto a table, "All…..My…..Fault," he muttered to himself.

His little sister, Ana, tapped him on the hand.

Travis turned towards her, and smiled weakly.

"Travis….Katie loves you," she said serenely.

Travis blinked a few times before asking. "What?"

Ana bobbed her head, "She does...She looks at you, the same way Cinderella is supposed to look at Prince Charming," she said innocently.

Travis laughed uncertainly, before smiling softly at the little girl, "Thanks Ana-Banana, I needed that."

Ana bobbed her head, her curly brown hair bouncing, "Byeeee Travis…I gotta go!" she said as she skipped away to the strawberry fields, skipping.

Travis smiled at his sister's innocence.

~.~

Katie stared at Tyler. He was a good friend, that's for sure. After all, he did help her in her time of need, but the only problem is, he talked way too much.

Everything he said was arrogant, and/or cruel, but she brushed it off, claiming that all boys go through that stage.

She sighed inwardly, wishing he could be a little kinder.

She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard his deep voice, "Katie? You listening? I was telling you on the 150 times I beat people at sword fighting.

If it was any other boy, she would have castrated them for lying, but she couldn't do that to Tyler.

After all, he did help her.

She rolled her eyes inwardly, no one had done that, and considering that Tyler couldn't hold a sword without falling, but she faked a smile, pretending to be interested in the "Great Tyler McAlister."

"Katie," he said, "I have to go to the arena."

Katie nodded mutely as she watched him leave the clearing.

~.~

"Katie, you ready?" asked Miranda, "We need to go to dinner."

Katie said, exasperatedly, "Just a minute!"

Miranda sighed, impatiently, "We need to leave now, we're getting late."

Katie sighed, "I'll be there, alright! I'll catch up, you can go on ahead."

Miranda nodded and left, along with the rest of the cabin.

A few minutes later, Katie emerged from the bathroom, grinning. She walked outside, swinging her hands back and forth as she walked through the strawberry fields towards the Mess Hall. She sang quietly to herself, smiling at the strawberries.

She picked up a strawberry and slid it into her mouth, savoring the sweet taste.

She picked up another strawberry and as she was about to bite on the strawberry, she felt a strong pair of arms encase her. A filthy rag was placed over her mouth, and Katie tried to scream, but she couldn't. Her green eyes, searched through the fields in rapid speed, finding no one to help her.

"Come now, my little princess." The person said, his voice as deadly as the River Styx. She understood that he meant, "Come now, before you die,"

The person dragged Katie by the hair through the forest, stopping at a clearing in the woods.

Tears slid down Katie's cheeks as the person removed the filthy rag from Katie's mouth.

Katie spun around, and her eyes widened at the identity of her kidnapper.

D….. NOW!

Katie stared at her kidnapper, in unbelievable shock. "You," She said her eyes wide and angry.

"Yes me," they person said, removing their hood, revealing the one and only...

Tyler McAlister.

~.~

"Yes, me," he said again, as he stared at her with a sadistic grin on his handsome face. His grin widened at the state of shock she was in.

"What do you want." Katie said angrily, her eyes turning into slits.

"Ah, nothing, I just want to teach you something." Tyler said sincerely, swinging his sword in his hand, back and forth.

"What?" asked Katie skeptically, her eyes were glued to the sword.

"Ah nothing, just a fascinating history lesson," he said, his eyes trained on Katie's face.

Katie didn't say anything, but rolled her eyes slightly.

Smirking slightly, Tyler started, "Well, the gods have been in power for TOO long, alright? It's time for our generation to have a turn. Join Kronos, Katie, and you shall rise. In power, fame, and in fortune."

Katie spat, "Why would I? I hate Kronos! I hate you! I trusted you! I hate you. I hate you. I hate you," she added as an afterthought, "to answer your question, when hell freezes over."

Tyler shook his head sadly, "Katie, listen to me. The gods never cared about you. The only time you met your mother was when you received your basket from Demeter, and did she do anything? No. She just sat there, and gave the basket. You know you hate the gods, Katie. You know you do." he spat Demeter's name, like it was a curse, which to him, it probably was.

Katie sat down, and she hated to admit it, but everything that Tyler said was true.

Sometimes, she resented being a half-blood.

She hated having to kill monsters.

She hated her mother for what she had did to her father.

She hated having to be a hero.

She wanted end, but knew that she shouldn't.

Katie stared at him, her eyes piercing, "No. I won't join you," she answered mutely.

Tyler smiled, he looked thoroughly amused, "Ah, Katie. Did you actually think that I would let you come alone, and if you said no, then I would let you go. I brought someone else." And with that, he snapped his fingers, and a handsome blonde haired man stepped out of the shadows, and she instantly knew who he was.

"Luke," she whispered hoarsely.

He frowned at her, his eyes flashing gold, "I go by Kronos, now a days."

Katie shook her head, angry tears falling from her eyes, "I don't want to have this happen, alright? I won't betray camp."

Luke smiled, and the result was even more horrifying then before, "You really think I would let you do that?" and in a flash, he muttered something in Ancient Greek which caused her to fall on the ground, writhing in pain.

Katie's bones were being broiled, burned and crushed at the same time. Her muscles were being melted, and her body was on fire.

Luke took a simple knife out, examined it, and handed it to Tyler, "here you go." He said, with a maniacal gleam in his eye.

Tyler stared at him, grinning, "Make her stop screaming."

Luke nodded, and snapped his fingers, and she stopped screaming.

Tyler nodded gleefully as he walked closer towards Katie, he crouched down, ignoring her twitches, and feeble attempts of protest, and grazed the surface of her upper left arm. The knife slid into her soft, creamy skin.

Katie hissed in pain as Tyler continued to carve letters in her arm. Katie was crying loudly, and the screams continued.

Katie sighed, she knew she was going to die, so she just relented, and let him do whatever he wanted to.

Tyler grinned, she had given up, and so he started carving more and more words into her skin, ignoring her hisses of pain.

~.~

Katie was crying silently, she wanted the searing pain to stop.

She wanted end.

More words were carved.

She wanted end.

Hisses and screams of pains were yelled.

She wanted end.

Gold eyes stared at her greedily.

She wanted end.

She closed her eyes, the blistering pain hurt too much.

"KAAAAAAATTTTIIIE!"

Katie's eyes snapped open and stared at the source of the sound.

A brown haired boy, with angry blue eyes stood there next to some of the bushes.

Travis Stoll.

Tyler followed my gaze and stared at him, his eyes narrowing, "Ah, well, Stoll. Nice of you to join us in our little, family reunion."

Travis stared at him, bewildered, "What are you talking about? What have you done with KATIE!"

Luke turned around, smiling sadistically at the brown haired boy, "Hello. Brother."

Ooooh cliffy, don't worry, I'll update soon.

I love you all!(: Like it? LIke it...only one more chappie... LOVE!
Oh and people, look out for my new story...its a "Tratie," called, "Parenting." (Summary in the last chapter, but for those of you are pretty lazy -

Hera is furious when she sees that children that are not cared for nicely, and demands Zeus to have a "Life Skills," at camp as that is the only place she could control directly... To appease his furious wife, he accepts and asks Hecate to create "fake babies." using the magic out of DNA of the campers. However, Hera is still not happy, and demands that they the campers should live in real houses and have jobs, just like mortals. Aphrodite uses her matchmaking skills to pair up campers, and Hecate creates the babies and everything goes on from there... (btw...if you didn't guess, Travis and Katie are paired together..) Like it? Tell me...(:

I've been wanting to ask, do you want a sequel or an epilogue? I'm fine with both, or even neither. It's up to you.

CHOICES -

a. epilogue, with just what happens after the whole incident thing, and a sequel about their lives after this.

b. an epilogue including a wedding, kids, all that stuff, and a sequel centered in their children's POVs.

c. an epilogue with what happens after the incident. NO SEQUEL.

d. No epilogue or sequel.

KEEP IN MIND- if I DO do a sequel, than updates will be a little bit slower as I will need to focus on my other stories like Life Skills.

If i do just an epilogue, i can declare this story done, and put my main focus on Life Skills.

I'm fine with all of the options, so you can just vote...

Put your voting things, in your review.

Anyway!

Love you all!(:

~Mya(:
