This is the sequel to What Did I Get Myself Into? If you haven't read that story, then go over to my profile and READ IT. Because I don't want any reviews asking me what the Hades and going on and who's who. After this chapter, I'll be updating every story that I write, which includes the Asian Writers stories, so Author alert to check out those.
Dare of the Whenever: I'll lay off the dares… FOR NOW.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, you psychopaths.
Katie's POV
" Katie, you're the one Gaea wants. She's coming after you."
Everyone looked at me expectantly as if there was something I was going to say about that.
"Fine, then let her come."
I stormed out of the infirmary. Wow, what I said there sounded so cool. I giggled at the thought. DAMN IT KATIE FOCUS, Gaea wants to KILL YOU!
"KATIE!" I heard Travis call after me. I turned and I was greeted by a tight hug. "What you said in there made you sound so cool."
I laughed and I awkwardly hugged back. "I know, right. I sounded all mysterious and what not."
"Do you want to talk about it?" he looked at me with concern. I didn't want him to worry that much. If I was meant to die, then I'll just freaking die. The Fates wanted this for me.
"TRAVIS STOLL, wanting to talk about FEELINGS," I asked in disbelief. I laughed as he frowned at me.
"Katie-"
"Travis, I'm NOT okay. I just learned that I'M A TARGET." I gave up trying to cover up my feelings and just cut him off.
"It'll be okay Katie, I'll-"
"You can't." I shook my head. "You can't protect me Travis. If you know how to protect me from GAEA, then by ALL MEANS, go ahead. What are you waiting for?"
"Umm, am I interrupting something here?" We turned and we saw Spencer Morrison, daughter of Somnus. We haven't talked to her in a while.
"Hey Spencer, sorry we haven't spoke to each other." I smiled apologetically.
"No, it's fine, I've been busy too, I've been trying to keep track of what's happening in San Francisco, and I was just going to ask if I could talk to Chiron about something." She shrugged. Her copper hair was in a sleek ponytail, and she was wearing their purple camp shirt, black jeans, and combat boots. Her dark violet eyes looked urgent.
"Why, what's up?" I asked.
"The whole camp is coming HERE." She answered quickly.
"Camp Half-Blood isn't that big!" I insisted.
"Well, Lupa apparently needs to discuss something with Chiron, so they're all coming HERE."
"Crap," Travis muttered.
"Umm, Chiron's in the infirmary, questioning Camilla McIntire," I explained.
"Thanks, and TRAVIS." She cleared her throat. "You better not cheat on Katie or I will cut you up into a million little pieces, set it on fire, and make myself some s'mores." She patted his shoulder really hard. "Nice talking to you again Katie," she smiled.
"Let's hang later!" I called after her.
"That would be great!" she yelled, once she was far enough, Travis started to leave.
"Travis, you can't abandon me now. I just need to think," I pleaded.
"Think about what?" he asked exasperatedly.
"I think I should take in that I'm one of the kids of the prophecy, then take in my possible death, then I'll think of something like unicorns." I snapped. I immediately regretted it. "Trav, I'm so sorry,"
"Katie, I think we need to take a break." He sighed. I was destroyed.
"What?" I choked out.
"I can't get in your way. I think I'll cause you more stress. We're not breaking up, but I love you way too much, and you might end up dying of high blood pressure." He explained.
"A BREAK?" I was still trying to make sense of it.
"Yeah, a break Katie, when you're calm and everything, when you're starting to-"
"TRAVIS, this is causing me MORE stress. We can't have a BREAK!" I begged. A year ago, I would've slapped myself silly.
"I think this is what's best for you." He looked away, not looking at me.
"Please Trav, just don't do this. Even though it's just a break, you take the stress away." I breathed.
"Katie, this isn't any easier for ME. This is tearing me apart, but I can't ju-"I cut him off and smashed my lips against his. I felt him tense then soften up, as he started to kiss me back. I pulled away and I gave him a pleading look.
"Travis, no matter what, this is the worst time to take a 'break'." I pleaded.
"Fine Katie, we won't take a break." I knew by the tone of his voice that this wasn't over.
One week later…
Things weren't quite the same between me and Travis. It just felt strange… somehow off. When we were together, he looked rather distant and when I asked him about it, he would deny it and start to talk about something completely irrelevant.
I walked up the hill towards the guarding post for my shift started.
I sat next to Spencer and Jeanette Foster, daughter of Ceres, who were both doing guard duty with me.
"So, how's it going you guys? I've barely talked to you guys since the Tatiana prank." I said, deciding to make conversation.
"Nothing, Ian Lennox of the Apollo cabin just asked me out and I said yes," Jeanette shrugged.
Spencer's eyes widened as my mouth dropped. "How could I not know this?" We asked in unison.
"Well KATIE, you're so caught up with the prophecy, not to mention you being a head counselor, and having a boyfriend to top it all off, so you don't have enough time for me. And Spence, you're so caught up with being charge of all the Romans, keeping us in line, watching out for our camp and trying to get the Hypnos kids to wake up, which is VERY difficult if you ask me." She pointed out.
"It's a pretty good cabin to sleep in though," I admitted. We all muttered in agreement. "So you're with Ian?" she nodded. "OKAY, this calls for a couple name."
"Indeed it does," Spencer agreed thoughtfully.
"Okay, Ian and Jeanette…" I said, deep in thought. Okay, Ianette? Seems like the only option. "IANETTE?"
They both looked at me strangely. "That's ALL you could think of. You have TRATIE, while I have IANETTE?" Jeanette laughed.
"Well, can you think of something BETTER?" I laughed. Spencer and Jeanette shrugged and I knew I won. "Who's up for sticks?" I asked.
"STICKS?" Spencer repeated.
"You know, like the game, 'Spoons', but since we don't have spoons, we'll make do with 'Sticks'." I explained.
"How do you play?" Jeanette asked.
One crazy round of "Sticks" Later…
"So that's how you play… that explains so much." Spencer muttered in amazement.
"Katie, I'm here to relieve you," I turned around and found Hunter of the Mercury kids.
"Fine," I sighed, as I got up. "You three play," as I turned around I heard a growl. "You guys, what was that?" I asked without turning around.
We are here. An unfamiliar voice said.
I turned around and found a very big group of kids of all ages. "They're here." Spencer breathed, as she and Jeanette moved to stand in front of me. Hunter pulled me behind him as they all stood in battle stance. Is there something I'm missing?
"Am I missing something here?" I asked. I watched as someone threw a spear in and a girl pushed everyone out of the way.
"WHERE IS JASON GRACE AND PERSEUS JACKSON?"
"Reyna, no fighting." Spencer started to order.
"Okay then." She shrugged, as she quickly got through the boundary and suddenly had me in a head lock, with a dagger next to my throat. "Jason Grace and Perseus Jackson, for THIS GIRL."
Umm… what just happened?
Okay, I will post that bonus chapter on What Did I Get Myself Into? In a little bit, but I just HAD to post this chapter. REVIEW! Was it awful, should I redo it? THIS REQUIRED A LOT OF THINKING! I tried my best to get rid of my writer's block. The bonus chapter shall come soon, so please be patient.
