In my dream I saw Miranda running from something, she took a sharp turn and I saw she was near a bunch of water parks, like she was in Sandusky, Ohio or the Dells. She ran into something and screamed.
I woke up in cold sweat. I lifted my sheets and looked at Miranda's bed, sure enough she wasn't there. This happened two years ago, Miranda and her boyfriend Connor Stoll were kidnapped and me and my ex-boyfriend, Travis Stoll, went on a quest to find them.
On the way, Travis and I began dating about a year ago we broke up and left on bad terms, I haven't seen him since. I ran out of the cabin and to Chiron. I didn't care I was only wearing very short pajama shorts and a big t-shirt.
I frantically knocked on the door of the big house and Chiron came out and his tail was in curlers. I didn't care about that at the moment.
"Chiron! Miranda's missing again!" I told him my dream again and I felt someone behind me so, on reflex turned around and punched them in the face then held a dagger at their neck. I looked at the person.
"I didn't know you hated me so much, Kit-Kat" He smirked. I rolled my eyes and slapped his face.
"That's for kissing Drew while we still went out and this is for being yourself" I punched his groin. I got up and he groaned.
"Damn it! That fucking hurt Gardner!" He exclaimed. I laughed and turned back to Chiron.
"I have to get her, I think I know where she is, the Dells" I told him. Travis got up and bended over.
"Is it possible to take someone's balls off with just their hand?" He asked in a high voice, I rolled my eyes.
"Yes" I responded. "Why are you here?" I asked him.
"I had a dream about Connor and he was missing again" He said in a hoarse voice.
"Shut up Stoll- Wait, Connor's missing?" I asked. He nodded. I sighed and turned back to Chiron.
"Do I have to go on a quest with him again, it's awkward" I told him. He smirked like he was having fun.
"What's so awkward my dear?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.
"You know damn well Chiron" I told him.
"You two leave right now, go grab your magic packs and find them" Chiron told us. I groaned and walked away cursing the old centaur.
I grabbed my pine green bag and made sure I had everything I needed in my drawers. I sighed before changing into black skinny jeans and a loose tank top that was hot pink and in white letters said 'Young and Wild and Free'. I slipped on black lace flats and put my hair up like usual.
I ran to Thalia's tree and petted the dragon. I sighed and felt Travis sneak behind me, trying to be sneaky.
"You know, if you wanted to sneak up on me you shouldn't use the ground or fly, I would be able to hear you, come on let's go" I told him as I walked down to the car he stole a while ago. I hoped in the front seat and took out my phone. It looked like a normal iPhone but was made so monster's couldn't track it.
I pulled out earplugs and put them in my ear and went to my playlist. I put it on shuffle and Michael Jackson's Beat it came on. I started to text my best guy friend, Jake from the Hephaestus cabin.
Hey, I have to go on a quest to find Miranda and Connor, can you tell Lily to take charge of the cabin 'till I get back
He texted back almost instantly.
Yeah, sure Kates, hope ya have fun and get 'em back, see ya later, love ya
Love ya too Jake
Now I know what you're thinking, 'Oh my gods! Jake loves Katie and Katie loves Jake' but it's not like that, we're just great friends, you know, like how you would say I love you to a friend, it's like that.
"You're dating Jake?" Travis asked, he had a small smirk, like it would be funny if I was dating him. I scowled.
"What if I am, he's a better kisser than you" I told him. I had accidently kissed Jake once, when I accidently ran into him. Travis's smirk fell.
"Is that true?" he asked. It wasn't, but it felt good to make him feel that way.
"Of course!" I yelled back at him, now the song black horse and a cherry tree came on. I turned it up and knew it was the Aphrodite cabin's free time about now, so I texted Piper.
After I finished texting her I was listening to Fighter. I looked at the clock. It was one, oh how time flies. I sighed. I took off one of the earplugs and looked at Travis.
"Lunch" I told him, he nodded and got off at the next exit. We saw the diner and walked in, He got himself and plate and I got myself one. We sat down in one of the booths.
"So how are you and…" I had to ponder on who he was dating. "Whichever slut you got this week" I finished.
"Gardner, are you saying I'm a player?" he asked in fake shock. I rolled my eyes.
"You've dated almost every girl in camp Stoll, of course I'm calling you a player, I can't even believe I dated you!" I exclaimed.
"You know you love me" He smirked. I got up and left him sitting there. I went back to the car and sat there. I hated his guts. I looked out the window, my phone was dead so I plugged it in using the car as the source of power.
Travis hopped in the car. I looked out the window. He started driving.
"You know what your problem is?" He asked me.
"What" I spat at him.
"You're way to bossy! You can't go one day without telling someone what to do!" He yelled at me. My eyes went wide and I glared at him.
"You are the fucking biggest player ever! You cheated on me with Drew! Drew! She's the biggest slut I've ever met!" I yelled at him. His face turned red with anger.
"No! She isn't the biggest slut I know is your mom!" he yelled. I growled.
"Not as much of a man whore as you! You've dated more girls than your father and his sex objects! You're more of a man whore than your father! And that is saying something!" I yelled back at him. "What kind of family do you have! Like fifty brothers and sisters! I only have ten!"
"Gardner! You are the fucking most annoying thing to walk the planet!" he yelled back. I snorted.
"At least I don't tell someone I'll love them forever and then two days later cheat on them!" I yelled at my ex-boyfriend.
"Gods, you're so fucking annoying! Your voice is like a cat and frog together!" He said. I could tell he didn't mean that one, but the others he did.
"I'm annoying!?" I yelled.
"Yeah!" He responded.
"You can't stop yourself but only to hurt, prank, and lie to people!" I screamed at him. I huffed and looked out the window. It was about three thirty now. We were in the middle of New York, not the city but the state.
"I am so glad I cheated on you!" he yelled at me, I turned to him.
"And I am so glad I dumped you for it! Now I don't have to pretend to love you!" I yelled at him. He became quiet. It was a lie, but I was mastered in it. He didn't talk until we stopped at around seven for the night. We were in the western part of the middle.
I got out of the car and grabbed my bag then walked to the diner before he could say anything to me, I don't know if he wanted to, but if he did I didn't wait for him. I went upstairs since I wasn't hungry and went through the grass green doors.
My bedroom was pretty simple. It had three wooden walls and a glass one over looking a beach. The bed was a circle and had red sheets and pillows. There were two matching small desks along the two parallel wooden walls. The bed was in front of the glass wall. There was a skylight above the bed. I smiled seeing a door to the private beach.
I put my bag down on the bed and went to the room across the hall, the bathroom. I don't need to really explain it, it's a pretty stereotypical bathroom, shower on the side of the wall. Double sink on the other side. Small window on one wall that showed me myself in the reflection. I smiled. I walked out the door and to my room.
I wanted to go for a swim. I changed into my simple chocolate brown bikini. It showed off a tattoo I got a few months back, it was the view from the top of a light pink rose. It wasn't big, maybe the size of an eyeball, I guess you could say. I put my hair up in a bun. My tattoo was on my upper left hip. I smiled as I headed out with a towel to the beach. I put the towel down and I guess it was a different time zone wherever this place was because it was still light out.
I walked in the water and swam around. I heard someone yell for me. I thought it might be Travis so I kept swimming, I didn't want him to see me in a bikini, over the year I had gotten more curvy and a little taller. I'm sure I had stopped growing.
"KATIE!" he yelled I sighed. I swam towards him. I got out of the water and grabbed my towel before he saw anything. I wrapped the towel around myself and walked towards him.
"What?" I asked. He pulled me into a hug.
"Look I'm sorry, I'm just stressed out, can we be friends?" he asked. I sighed.
"Yep, but nothing more" I warned him. He raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" I gave him a smile.
"Because I'm going back in the water" I told him. I took off the towel and ran into the water and slashed him.
"Shit Kates" he said. "Now, nothing more than friends got it?" he smirked as he took his shirt and pants off, showing off only his underwear. He came in the water and splashed me. I laughed and splashed him back. He stopped for a moment.
"Katie, what is that?" he asked, looking at my hip, I laughed.
"It's a tattoo, what does it look like?" I said falling in the water from laughing. It was shallow so I was fine from drowning. I ran back to the beach and put the towel around my shoulders.
"Nice, now come on, we've got a full day of driving tomorrow" Travis smirked and we walked back to my room.
I grabbed my bag and walked out with him and to my bathroom. I took a quick shower and changing into a big t-shirt that was light blue and said 'NYC' on it. I also put on plaid pajama pants. I walked out of the bathroom and downstairs since I was hungry as shit.
I grabbed a plate and asked for cereal. It gave me some and I basically shoved it down myself and walked back upstairs. I fell on my bed and into my favorite thing, usually, sleep.
In my dream I was with Aphrodite on a beach. I looked down and thank the gods she didn't change my outfit, it would be awkward to wake up in a expensive dress, again.
"Katie!" Aph squealed and hugged me. "I haven't seen you in two years!" she exclaimed. It's true, my cabin has a dream shield unless there's a special occasion where there's another in danger or something, like my dream of Miranda.
"Hey Aph!" I smiled and gave her a hug.
"Katie, I just wanted to see you again, I haven't really got anything to say, but have fun on the way there, oh! Also, remember the last time you two saved Miranda and Connor? Well I think it's similar, so remember the monsters" she said, a little unsure of herself.
"Thanks Aph" I told her. I gave her a hug before she made me wake up. I got up and looked around, it was still a little dark in the room. I turned to the window and the moon was setting, so it was morning. I got up and wasn't hungry so I took a shower and got dressed.
I wore a light purple fitted tank top with basketball shorts and I went barefoot for the moment. I put my hair up in a bun. I grinned as I got an idea. I walked to Travis's room. He was asleep. I walked over to the door and ran to his bed and jumped on it.
I jumped around on his bed. He groaned and pulled me down and hugged me around his waist.
"Kayla, last night was amazing" he mumbled. I started laughing.
"Travis, it's Katie, your night with Kayla was a dream, now come on we've got to go" I told him. He groaned and pulled me tighter to his chest. I did the only thing I knew how too. I kneed him in the groin. He fell off the bed and left me on it. I laughed as he woke up on the ground.
"Katie, why are you in my bed?" he asked.
"Because I was coming to wake you up, so I jumped on your bed and you started saying something about a great night with Kayla, I hope you haven't done something to her, she has like a gazillion older brothers to take care of her" I told him, my face was the only thing off the bed.
"Yeah Yeah Yeah, come on, let's get going" he said and got up.
"Um, Stoll, your only wearing boxers, I don't think you want to go driving at the moment"
