Chapter 1:

Some meeting and greeting

(Katie POV)

Katie was exhausted. It turned out that traveling from New York by foot was a whole lot longer and harder than what you'd think. It didn't help that she had to drag her eight-year-old sister along with her as well. Not that Katie was complaining though she was happy, thrilled actually to finally to get herself and her sister away from her horrible father.

After Miranda, her sister, hat managed to break their father's TV somehow and started hitting her, Katie had told him she did it, and when her father turned to her and was about to hit her, she had gotten so angry and furious that she somehow had made all the plants in the room, grow and coil their way around her father and drag him far away from her and her sister. The next thing Katie knew, she and Miranda was on their way out of the city. Katie had no idea where they were headed she just felt a slightly pull towards Long Island, like she was meant to be there, belonged there somehow.

After traveling in three days Katie and Miranda had somehow managed to arrive at some sort of camp. They walked through the large gate and continued into the forest.

Suddenly a boy who couldn't be much older than she was, jumped out of the bushes.

"Hello, I'm Travis Stoll and this is Camp Half Blood. You look exhausted, let me show you to the Big House, I'm sure Chiron wants to meet you", he said with a huge grin plastered all over his face.

"Wait what's happening?" Katie said confused.

"Oh no, she doesn't know anything, it's always so boring to explain the half blood thing and all that. Can't we just deliver them to Chiron right now?" a new boy jumped out from behind a tree. He looked exactly like Travis except for his eyes. She thought Travis had way more beautiful eyes, though she would never admit it.

"Let's just take them to Chiron then", Travis said and Katie and Miranda followed the to boys into the forest.

(Travis POV)

Travis' day had started just as any other day, and he thought it would end like one as well. That is until he met Katie (and her sister). Katie, he had learned her name as they had walked to the big House, was actually really cute. Her dark brow, almost black hair matched her brown eyes, and although she looked and smelled rather disgusting he couldn't help but feel like she was beautiful. And he prayed to the Gods that she wasn't a Hermes kid, because that would be inconvenient. That would be really, really bad.

After Katie and Miranda had stayed in the Hermes Cabin for a couple of days, they found their new home in the Demeter Cabin. A wave of disappointment came over him, not only because she was leaving and he no longer would see her every night, but also because everyone knew that Demeter and Hermes wasn't the best of friends. Travis hoped though, that their parents wouldn't get in the way of him and her, because he really wanted to be friends with her.
