Hey everyone this is a Tratie fanfiction and it's set after the war with Gaia. All chapters will be in Katie's POV.

I sighed heavily and sat down, leaning my back against the big tree near the strawberry fields. I seemed to be in a daze a lot lately. Two weeks ago, I had received the news that my daddy had died. It was hard to take in but it's getting easier to deal with. I loved him a lot and I still do. He wasn't one of those parents who hated because their child was a demigod. You could say my father and Percy's mother were similar.

I didn't seem to be concentrating on anything. My head was in the clouds floating around. Everyone showed sympathy towards me and I meant everyone. I appreciated it and hated it at the same time. I liked it because I knew that they cared about me, but I also hated it because I was the centre of attention at times. And you should know, I prefer staying hidden, but that wasn't possible because I was known as the counsellor of the Demeter cabin and because I was one of the more known fighters in camp.

Earlier this year, the seven demigods had won the war against Gaia, sending that earth lady to Tartarus. If you don't know who the demigods were, they're Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon), Annabeth Chase (daughter of Athena), Jason Grace (son of Jupiter), Leo Valdez (son of Hephaestus), Piper McLean (daughter of Aphrodite), Hazel Levesque (daughter of Pluto) and Frank Zhang (son of Mars). They came home with dignity and pride. They were all offered immortality but had politely declined because apparently demi-god life was much more 'interesting' than godhood. I couldn't blame them. Being a god, you live forever. Wouldn't it get boring. After the war, everyone became less stressed and we were back to our unrestrained selves, which we had all missed.

I was so out of it, I didn't realise a certain person sit next to me.

"Are you okay?" he nudged me.

I looked away when I snapped out of it.

"Why would you care?" I asked.

He shrugged nonchalantly and simply said, "I know what it feels like."

"Really now?" I said sarcastically.

"Yeah." I looked at him and saw that the mischievous glint in his eyes were long gone. They seemed serious and slightly distant. His usual crooked grin or sarcastic smile was gone. His lips were pressed into a thin straight line. I knew he wasn't joking. Wait... but why was he here?

"Why are you here? Another prank?" I asked, suspiciously, "And we don't even like each other."

"Why would you think that?"

"Because you and your brother never stop pranking me," I pointed out, answering both questions at once.

"True. But it's for the fun of it. And who said I didn't like you?" Did that mean he did like me? His seriousness was replaced with amusement. The glint was back in his eyes and he had a smirk plastered on his face.

"Well first, you've played a million pranks on me when you know I hate them. Second, you never stop annoying me. Third, you're always-" I listed, but was cut off.

"Ok. I get it. I do a lot of things that piss you off," he interjected.

"You just realised, huh?" I asked.

"No. I think I figured that out when we first met," he replied. Hmm.. he still remembered when we first met. I remembered that we were only eight (we were one of the few who came when we were really young). All the young kids were running around and while doing an activity, Travis made fun of me because I was wearing pigtails. He pulled on my hair lightly and teased me. I was really bossy and annoyed that day.

According to Percy, my attitude reminded him of my mother, Demeter. I had to admit, it was true. We had the same personality. I admitted that I was kind of bossy at times.

I just realised... Travis and I had a friendly conversation... What is this? Some parallel universe?

I was about to drift off into my own world once again, but I saw Travis get up. Suddenly, a thing, or should I say figure came rushing towards us and it was enveloped with green smoke.

This cannot be good.

Rachel Dare, our current oracle was standing right in front of us. Wild crazed expression, green smoke, weird voice, blank eyes, you name it. Travis and I exchanged worried glances, as the frizzy red-head opened her mouth, spilling out yet another prophecy.

Daughter of harvest and son of trickery
Shall exterminate all love's misery
You shall go find love's bow
Go somewhere to see the show
You must go where the hero has been
It doesn't matter if you're unseen

Then, Rachel collapsed. Only seconds later, she gained consciousness and rubbed her eyes. Travis and I stayed frozen on our spots, staring at the air in front of us.

"Whoa, I was just watching the Apollo kids play basketball. How did I get here?" she asked, looking around.

"Aww man. Was it a prophecy again?" she answered her own question. We nodded.

"Well, come on. Meeting time," she muttered and walked off, with Travis and I trudging behind her.

I hope you liked it! Coming up with the prophecy was a bit hard because of the rhyming.

Song of the Chapter: Start Of Something New by Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

PS: If you didn't read my previous story 'My High School Life', the song of the chapter is whatever song that's stuck in my head. :D
