2. Tell a Laistrygonian Giant he should play in the NBA, or the NFL, then enforce it, or pretend to be their cheerleader.
"Travis, if I don't get out of this alive, I'm going to kill you!" Katie said in a hushed whisper.
"That doesn't make any since, and I didn't know he would attack us," I told her.
"Whatever, we never should have gone off of camp grounds."
"I was trying to be nice." I made a face, but she was probably right. I had convinced her to go out of camp with me. So we went to a beach right outside the boundaries, and it was going great until a Laistrygonian Giant made a friendly visit. Now we were stuck with no weapons facing a freaking giant. GIANT!
"Okay, here's the plan," she declared, breaking the silence. "You keep his attention on you, and then I'll knock him out, sound good?"
"Why don't we just make a break for camp, it has to be around here somewhere," my voice was slightly muffled by the bush we were hiding in.
"Two reasons your plan would fail, one the giant's faster than us, and two neither of us know the way back to camp."
"You know the way back to camp!"
"Well I'm not going to be able to find it with a giant behind me, now go," she hissed.
"Fine." I grimaced then stood up and walked out of the foliage. "Hey, hey, you, you!" I sung in a high-pitched voice. The giant grunted a swung around to face me. "Ya know, you could like, totally play for the NFL with all that muscle!" I said in my valley girl impersonation. He tilted his head sideways.
"OMG, right? It's such a great idea, I'm like so genius sometimes." The giant (which I named Jo) started towards me, but I held my ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Katie heaving a large rock over to where we were. "Oh no! Like, there is something totally wrong with your face. How are we going to get sponsors? No one would sponsor you! And Amanda Bynes would like, so hate on you. Ugh! Life is so difficult!" This was getting annoying, and Jo was getting close enough for me to smell his rotten egg odor. "Whatever, we can just put some make-up over those… blemishes?" That was apparently the last straw, Jo grabbed for me and I ran.
"Katie! Help me," I screamed, my voice a 'little' higher than usual. She responded immediately, jumping on Joe's back and whacking him over the head so hard he fell over, I scrambled out of the way just as he collapsed where I was just standing. I let out a sigh of relief and then grinned.
"That was awesome Katie, see I told you this would we fun," I said as I walked up to her. She glared at me for a good ten seconds before heading in the direction of camp.
"Are you coming? Because soon someone is going to realize that we're gone." she said over her should. She guided us back to camp in no time, if she had done this before, we wouldn't have gotten into that mess (tactfully I kept this thought to myself). We stumbled onto the beach and I was about to head back to my cabin when she grabbed my hand.
"Don't tell anyone, unless you want Chiron to find out about the strawberries." I gulped, a prank gone wrong. "But hey," she said softly. "We don't such a bad team." She looked up at me for a moment, as if making up her mind, then quickly kissed me on the cheek. She turned and walked away. "Night Stoll," she called over her shoulder
I put some Tratie in this chapter. Tell me if you had any suggestions for the next chapter. Hope y'all enjoyed.
