I was looking at my Polls, and I saw the someone had chose a Percy Jackson fanfic... So here I am! Without further ado, my Tratie story!

Enjoy!


Katie shot out of bed one morning, bare feet contacting with the icy floor. Cold sweet peppered her face, with a gut wrenching tug at her stomach.

'Somethings wrong.' She thought to herself.

Katie quickly changed out of her pajamas, to soon realize it was still dark outside. She checked her clock, '5:37?'

She raced her way to the Hermes cabin to see Travis, her boyfriend of 2 years.

After passing a few cabins, she was face-to-face with God Hermes cabin. She gulped down a lump in her throat as she saw the cabins lights on.

'Why are they up so early..?'

Katie heard a loud pang come from inside the cabin, she pushed the cabin door open alarmingly to see Travis on the floor, unconscious, with Connor, his twin (A/N: I know, I know they're not twins!), huddling over him.

"C-Connor, w-what happened?" Katie's vocal cords betrayed her, as her voice came out cracked and broken.

Connor had tears streaming down his face as he looked at the daughter of Demeter. Opening his mouth to say something but processing no sound.

"What happened?" Katie demanded firmly. Fists clenched, jaw tightened.

Connor winced at her hardened tone. "He collapsed and now he... he won't... hes still not..."

Just as Connor broke down into another fit of hysterical tears, Chiron burst through the cabin door, panting with worry plastered on his ancient face.

"Connor listen to me," Chiron said strongly, but fear hidden behind is hard features. "Travis might not make it... So, we need to be moving now!"

Katie was now in a state of shock. 'How can this be...?'

Katie tried to block out all that was happening around her, she closed her eyes and pretended she was in the strawberry fields but she heard loud and obnoxious footsteps and gallops hurrying out the door, she couldn't bear the pain she felt in her chest. As if, someone ripped out a piece of her heart. Hypothetically speaking, she did get her heart yanked out of her chest. Travis was her other piece, the piece that was always missing until Mister Stoll here came and filled her heart, and made it whole again. He was her other half that made HER whole.

Katie felt complete when being around Travis, but, now that he's injured and possibly might not come back, her heart is missing again.

'Come on Travis! You can make it! I-I need you, so please don't leave!' Katie thought, as she chocked back disturbingly loud whimpers.

And with that final thought, Katie opened her eyes to find an empty room, alone again. Katie's eyes downcast to the floor, where she noticed a small pool of blood, Travis's blood. She walked over to it, bent down, never losing eye contact with it, and began crying floods of tears that she knew wold probably never stop.

She was kneeling down on her knees when she smelled... strawberry syrup? She wiped what she thought were her final tears, and searched for the intoxicating sweet scent. She got up from the floor and started searching the room for the particularly familiar substance, then finalizing her theorem she thought to herself, 'What in the Hermes Cabin doesn't smell like; garbage, old pizza or stale pop?' Then it hit her.

"Blood." she said to no one in particular. "The blood..." she said to herself. "The blood must be strawberry syrup... Wait... why am I talking to myself?" Katie asked herself.

She shrugged off the question and quickly scurried her way to the pool of "blood" that was lying in the middle of the cabin. "Why is the blood in only clean part of the cabin...? Again with this self-talking thing! Ugh, I need to get out more often!" she kneeled down once again beside the blood puddle, and took a sniff of it.

Yep, definitely strawberry syrup! She dabbed her finger in the sticky substance, and sniffed it again to make sure it wasn't poisoned, you know how those Stolls worked, and licked it. It was syrup, but the cheap Dollar Store kind you buy for Halloween. She whipped her head around alarmingly, almost receiving whiplash as punishment, as she heard, drip drip, Katie made her way over to the apparent silvery-two-foot-tall garbage can.

There was a broken syringe hanging from between the lid and the mouth, with the strawberry liquid dripping aimlessly onto the ground. Katie gave a confused, brows forrowing, look at the garbage disposal unit.

She held onto the snout and took it out of the can. Katie read the label intently as it said, 'Scary Fake Strawberry Blood! Property of Jerry's Jokes Store.' Katie rolled her eyes as she read the title.

Katie was still reading the package when she heard footsteps from outside the cabin walls. She whipped her head to the side twice as hard this time, causing a sharp pain to ease its way onto her neck bone, and making her hold the side of her neck not wanting herself to make noise, but failing miserably had dropped the half-filled syringe onto the floor with a, thud.

She heard hushed voices from outside, it was Connor and Chiron. 'What the hell are they doing?' The thought reverberating through Katie's head. As she got closer to the door to examine the Conversation.

"Shhhh boy, someone could hear us!" Chiron exclaimed rather loudly.

"Shut up old man! You're gonna get us figured out!" Connor emphasized rather harshly.

Chiron grunted in responce. "Okay, but why child? Why are you doing this to the poor girl?" Chiron said helplessly.

"Because, once Travis reaches a certain point in time, Travis decides to give the girl a little test to see if she is worthy of him! He had done it with his previous girlfriends! So if Katie can figure it out, then Travis will know for sure. Though, when I asked him if she had failed to accomplish the, hypothetically, would he still forgive her? He said, and I quote, 'Even if she does, I'll still love her knowing that she tried, because Katie just doesn't give up!'"

When Katie had heard what Connor had had to say, she soundlessly dropped to her knees, smiling like an idiot, knowing that whatever Travis had setup for her. It was only a test of love, and she will fight till the end to figure this mystery out!
