Thank you to the people that reviewed the last chapter! I read over the last chapter and I admit it was a little boring, and then there were grammar and spelling mistakes here and there, and ugh! It definitely wasn't my best work! I hope that this chapter is a little better!

Disclaimer: Do I really have to say it?

Katie

The key wasn't there. It wasn't anywhere. I threw all my bed sheets and pillows on the ground, looked under my bed, even flipped my mattress over, but I just couldn't find it. I plopped down on the edge of my bed and ignored the tired, irritated looks my campmates gave me. I knew that I just had to face the truth. I lost the key.

But, no. That can't be right. I remembered exactly putting the key under my pillow last night. Maybe someone stole it? But who did? My mind flashed back to yesterday. There was only one person that knew about my responsibility of the key. I narrowed my eyes and marched out my cabin.

There were couple people awake already, and the sun was slowly going higher up into the sky, giving the sky a pink tint to it. I went up to the door of the Hermes cabin and knocked on it, or more like punched it. A tired looking Chris opened the door.

One look at me and he asked "Travis?"

I nodded and pushed my way past him. Couple of people slowly started waking up already, and started to give me looks similar to the looks that my campmates gave me.

I turned back to Chris and demanded "Where is he?"

He pointed to a bunk bed where Travis probably shared with Connor. Travis was snoring on the bottom bunk, and I stomped up to him and punched his arm.

Travis jolted up and clutched his arm. "Ow! What was that for?!"

I ignored his question and asked "Where's the key?"

Travis smirked and said "Already lost the key, eh?"

I held my hand out. "Give me the key!"

"Geez Katie-cat, don't get so worked up!" Travis got up and made his way to his bed-side table. He looked on his desk, and furrowed his eyebrows. He started rummaging through the drawers, then turned back to me and said sheepishly "Um, I think I lost it."

"You what?!"

"Relax, okay! I'll find it!" Travis said.

"I can't believe you! On the first day I get the key, you just had to come along and steal it! Do you know how Chiron's going to react when he finds out that the key is missing?"

I heard laughing behind me and I turned around to find Connor standing in the doorway. He was carrying a bucket of pink paint, a makeup kit, orange spray-paint, and a smirk was covering up his usual grin.

"What did you do this time Travis?" He asked, setting down his supplies.

"I stole a precious key that Chiron gave Katie watch for her." Travis said "precious" mockingly.

"It's not like a key is going to go anywhere though." Connor said.

"Exactly!"

I turned back toward Travis and said "This key is more important than you think! It's-"

"Wait" Connor said, cutting me off. "I think I have the key you're talking about."

Travis gaped at Connor. "So you stole the key from me?"

I didn't see what the big deal was since they are the sons of Hermes, but I guessed that them being close brothers and all; they don't usually steal from each other.

Connor put a hand over his heart and a hurt look on his face. "Me? Being accused by my own brother? That hurts bro, really hurts."

"Do you have the key or not?!" I shrieked.

"Geez, calm down! And yes, in fact I do. I found it on the floor this morning and put it in my pocket." Connor said.

I sighed in relief. "Okay, good." I said and waited for him to pull the key.

He stuck his hand into his jean pockets and only pulled out lint. The other pocket. Nothing. His back pockets. Only a paper clip. He stuck his hands into his jacket pockets, and his face had concern written all over it when he pulled his empty hands.

"Um, I can't find it." Connor said in a small voice.

Worriedness spread all through my body like a wildfire. "You can't- find it?"

Connor shook his head and took a step away from me.

My first thought was: Chiron is going to kill me, slowly and painfully.

"This is all your fault!" I said to Travis.

"My fault?"

"If you haven't stolen the key then we wouldn't be in this mess!" I yelled.

"Hey!" Connor said getting our attention. "Maybe you can look for the key. I mean, it has to be somewhere in the camp!"

"Okay" Travis said and plopped back down on his bed then turned toward me. "Good luck."

"Oh no. You're going to help me!" I said and crossed my arms.

An irritated look spread across his face. "Why? Connor's the one that lost it."

"But you're the one that stole it. Connor wouldn't have found it if you didn't take the key from me." I replied.

Travis then smirked. "Oh c'mon Katie-cat, admit it. You just can't stand the thought of being away from me."

I narrowed my eyes, despite how my face was reddening. Connor sighed and said dreamily "Ah, young love."

My fingernails dug into my palm and I asked "Are you going to help me or not?"

Travis crossed his arm and rested his chin in his hand. "Hmmm… I don't know…"

I gave him a death glare and he gave in and said "Alright! Fine, I'll help you find the key!"

Connor smirked and said "You give in too easily."

I ignored Connor's comment and instead asked him "Okay, where did you go this morning?"

"Let's see… I ate breakfast, pranked the Are's cabin-"

Travis gasped and said "You did a prank without me?"

Connor shrugged. "Oh c'mon, you do pranks without me sometimes too. Anyway, I also spray-painted Juniper's tree-"

I furrowed my eyebrows and asked "Why Juniper's?"

Connor grinned evilly "I heard she recently had a fight with Grover. And angry chicks+ pranking= one hell of a tantrum. Then I painted the Apollo's cabin arrows pink."

Travis scrunched his nose. "That's it?"

Connor nodded sadly "Let's just say Clarisse woke up when I was pranking her cabin, and she kind of delayed my other pranks."

I rolled my eyes then said to Travis "I'll meet you in the cafeteria."

"Whatever suits you, Katie-cat." Travis said.

"Don't call me that." I grumbled then headed back to my cabin.

Almost all of my campmates were awake, and my bed was still a complete mess. I sighed and got to work fixing it.

"What happened?" One of my half-sisters, Jenny, asked me.

"Travis Stoll is what happened." I muttered.

Jenny nodded and asked "Are you two dating yet?"

I whipped my head around to look at her. "No- and what do you mean yet?"

Jenny shrugged. "It's just that the constant fighting and flirting-"

"Flirting?" I asked dismayed.

"Yeah, both of you like each other, but then you two are too stubborn to admit your feelings." She said and walked away.

I thought about what Jenny said. Do I like Travis? I asked myself. I shook my head. No, I don't, I can't. But then you two are too stubborn to admit your feelings, a voice said in my head. Shut up, I told it. Great, now I'm talking to myself. I'm officially going mentally crazy.

I finished making my bed and grabbed a pair of clothes without looking, and went into the bathroom. I stripped my clothes off and slipped on a pair of demin shorts, and a yellow shirt that had a collar. I looked at myself in the mirror. I wonder if this shirt is too ugly, maybe Travis will laugh at me when he see me in it- I stopped myself there. When did I care what Travis thinks about what I wear? Yep, mentally going crazy alright.

I walked to the cafeteria and looked around, trying to find Travis.

"Looking for me?" someone whispered into my ear.

I jumped then looked to see who said that to find Travis.

"Stop doing that!" I said.

"Okay, fine!" Travis said then walked past me.

A guilty feeling went through me. I admittedly felt bad for snapping at Travis. But wait, since when do I feel bad for Travis? Jenny's conversation is really getting too me.

I catch up to Travis and asked "Where first?"

"The Hermes table." He replied.

We spent the next ten minutes searching for the key, looking under people's feet, but it was nowhere to be found.

"It's not here!" I exclaimed.

"Calm down, we'll find it." Travis said. Travis's reassurance floated through me and I took a deep breath, but almost admittedly I started to panic again.

"But what if someone found the key- and what if they knew what the key is for- that would be really bad-"

"Why?" Travis asked, cutting me off.

I bit my lip? Could I trust to tell Travis what the key was for?

I thought about it for a second, and then made up my mind. "The key is to Chiron's safe. You know how in the legends Hercules killed Chiron with an arrow that was poisoned with Hydra's blood? That arrow is in the safe." I looked Travis in the eye and said "You have to promise me that you will tell no one about this. Because if anyone gets hold of that arrow, chaos is sure to erupt."

For a second, Travis's eyes read don't worry, you can trust me, but then he said teasingly "I don't know about that Katie-cat…"

I glared at him, and almost immediately he said "Alright, I won't tell anyone!"

I smirked. "Connor's right, you do give in easily."

"Whatever." Travis said, rolling his eyes.

When we walked out of the cafeteria, Travis asked "How about since you're so worried that someone is going to steal the arrow, we hide the arrow with us till we find the key."

I raised an eyebrow. Is Travis actually trying to be nice to me? "Wait- but how are we going to get the arrow out of the safe?"

Travis grinned and pulled a paper clip out of his pocket. "I once picked a lock under fifteen seconds before" he paused dramatically and continued "with a pencil, believe me Katie-cat; I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get that arrow out of that safe."

I furrowed my eyebrows "Didn't Connor have a paper clip in his pocket too?"

"A true child of Hermes never go somewhere without his tools."

"A paper clip is a tool?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah!" Travis said like it was obvious.

I rolled my eyes. I then thought back to what Chiron said to me yesterday. Now, I don't want you to go snooping in my safe trying to find that arrow, but I know you wouldn't do that. I frowned. Way to follow directions, Katie.

We quietly went into the big house, but it turned out we didn't have to be quiet because no one else was there. We snuck into Chiron's office, and Travis whispered to me, even though we were the only ones there "Where's the safe?"

I shrugged. "I don't know."

Travis looked at me and furrowed his eyebrows "Wait, Chiron gave you the key to his safe, and you don't even know where the safe is?"

I narrowed my eyes "Well, he seemed to be in hurry, so that just didn't come up in our conversation!"

An irritated look crossed Travis's face "Why is it whenever I try to make a normal conversation with you, you get angry at me with no apparent reason!" He half-yelled, and then turned his back to me.

I opened my mouth, but then shut it. Was Travis right? I guess I do get angry at him most of the time. The next thing that came out of my mouth surprised me. "I'm sorry."

Travis didn't face me, so I continued "For getting angry at you all the time. I don't know why I do; it's just, sometimes I can't control myself…"

I trailed off as Travis started to turn back toward me. I expected him to be glaring at me, or trying to avoid eye contact, but he was smirking. I tried not to raise my voice and asked "Why are you smirking?"

"Because, I didn't actually expect you to apologize to me. If only I had a camera with me right now…"

I rolled my eyes and turned away from him so that he couldn't see the smile spreading across my face. For some reason, I was just happy that Travis wasn't mad at me anymore. We spent the next ten minutes searching for the case. We finally found it snugly in a drawer to Chiron's desk. I picked it up and put it on top of the desk so that Travis could pick the lock easier.

Travis stuck the end of the paper clip into the lock, but instantly pulled away.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Travis shook his head "Nothing, it just felt like I got shocked or something."

I frowned, but didn't stop Travis from putting the paper clip back into the lock. The next second was a blur. A tiny lightning bolt shot out from inside the lock, but got bigger and knocked both of us backwards into the wall.

Both of us sat up and rubbed the back of our head.

"I think the safe has a security system in it or something." Travis said groggily.

My eyes widened when I looked at Travis. His hair was five times bigger than it used to be, and it would be what the Aphrodite cabin would call, a "hair crisis."

I opened and closed my mouth still staring at his hair and said "Uh- your hair- don't freak out-"

When Travis looked at me his eyes also widened. "Since when did your hair get that big?"

I looked at him quizzically. "What?" My eyes widened again and I shot up. I dashed to a mirror that Chiron had in his office and screamed. My hair shot up in all directions, and was bigger than it used to be, like Travis's. I heard laughing then turned toward Travis who was clutching his stomach.

"It's not funny!" I said.

"It is to me!" Travis said and started laughing uncontrollably again.

I glared at him and said "Your hair is way worst."

Travis looked at me, and then got up to look at himself in the mirror. He looked at himself, then at me. Coming to a conclusion he said "Nah, your hair is worst."

I glared at him some more, then said "I guess finding the key is our only option."

Travis shrugged. "We have to find it anyway."

We walked back out the big house, after trying to control our hair. It was two times smaller than it used to be, but the huge size was still noticeable.

I noticed Travis staring at me. I looked at him and asked "What?"

"Are you still mad at me?" He had a worried face on.

"Since when did you care?"

Travis shrugged and looked at the ground. "I just don't want you to be mad at me."

I rolled my eyes and said teasingly "I'm always going to be mad at you."

Travis then rolled his eyes. "I should've expected that." He said.

I looked at him, and couldn't tell if he was disappointed with me. I decided to change the subject and said "Thanks" when he sent me a questioning look, I continued "for helping me find the key. I don't know what I would do if you weren't helping me."

"Well, I kind of owe you since I was the one that lost it."

I raised an eyebrow. Travis admitting to his mistakes, that was definitely a first.

We then heard fluttering and looked up. A dove perched onto a tree that we were by, holding a note. The dove dropped the note, and it fluttered to our feet. We looked back up at the bird, which cocked its head and flew away.

"That was weird." Travis said and bent down to pick up the note. He took the note out its envelope and opened it. The note only read one word. Destiny.

Is the story confusing? Don't worry, all will be explained soon! Eight pages! That has to be the longest chapter I ever written!

Who do you think the note was from? I know who it's from (obviously), but I'm not telling!

Don't be afraid to ask me questions! And more reviews= more chappies!
