Hey sorry my Microsoft Word broke and I lost all my files that I saved so sorry =(
And thank you for telling me about Demeter NOT December! Thank you for telling me and yes I fixed it and its a good thing you told me becuase I did a report about her and I said DECEMBER and my teacher was like Wow I've never Heard of her! So THANK YOU!
This Chapter is kinda a filler so the bigning might be a little weird but in this Chapter they officially start the quest!
After Chiron dismissed us I ran to my cabin (Which all my stuff was in now) and started packing all my stuff. Which is just some jeans, shorts, a green tank top, and a jacket. I put it in my old back pack. I knew the quest really started in the morning but I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I tried, I just could not sleep. I heard a light knock on my cabin door.
Who would be up and at the Demeter cabin at 3:00 in the morning? Ugh 3:00 in the morning I need sleep. Then I heard the knock again. So I quietly got up and opened the door to see who it was.
"Travis?" I asked.
"Katie? Katie, can you come out here?" He asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"I need to talk to you."
"About what?" I asked, again.
"Anything! I can't sleep and I know you can't either." He said.
"How do you know? Stalker." I laughed opening the door all the way. A/N: Sorry this is another joke I have with my friends my best friend is obsessed with stalkers so ya... I really need new friends. *Sigh*
"Ha Ha." He said sarcastically. "Just come on!" He said grabbing my wrist and pulling me out of the cabin, closing the door behind me.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"A walk." He responded.
"And what makes you think I would like to go on a walk with you?" I said back.
"Because I'm me." He said, with a cocky grin.
"Well, Me, you can let go of my wrist now. Don't worry I'm a big girl." I said looking at him.
He slowly let go of my wrist but not without a blush.
"What do you think will happen on this quest?" I asked, trying to get rid of some of the tension.
"I don't know. I mean were going to Luke's camp. Who knows what will happen." He said.
"Who is Luke? I mean I keep on hearing about him but who is he?" I asked. Looking at Travis.
"The old leader of the Hermes cabin. He took me and Connor in like family, which we were." He laughed. "But he turned bad and went to Kronos. He left me and my brother in charge of the cabin. So... Ya." He said. Rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"Ya." Was all he said. I had heard the Travis and Connor were the Leaders of the Hermes cabin. But I had also heard it was mostly Travis that was running the show.
"Do you miss him?" I asked.
"Sometimes, but then I remember what he did and I don't know, I have to tell myself the he's not my friend but my foe." He said.
"Right." I said but when I looked up and saw that we had made it to the beach.
"It's beautiful." I said.
"Ya, it is." He said. "I used to come here when I was a little kid. I would run around and act like I was the King of this Camp. I would just run through the water yelling at people to do stuff." He laughed.
I laughed too then grabbed his wrist and pulled him down to the sand. "Come on your highness hurry up." I smiled. He laughed and sat down next to the water. I sat down next to him and closed my eyes. This seems a little cliche if you ask me. Two people sitting in the sand in the middle of the night. Looking at the Ocean. But it was nice. And I was getting tired.
After awhile of that Travis asked. "What is one of us... Doesn't come back?"
"Don't say that." I said. Trying to stay awake. "Will make it. Will get...g-get it." I mumbled. Then I'm pretty sure I either fell asleep or was abducted by aliens... I'll go with the first one.
"Katie wake up it's time for your quest!" I heard my little sister yell.
"What?" I asked. When I looked around I saw that I wasn't on the beach anymore... I was in my bed... in my cabin. How did I get here? Did last night really happen? When I looked around I saw that it was 6:47 A.M.! Crud! I have to be at Half-Blood Hill at 7:00!
I shot out of bed and got ready. I grabbed my stuff and ran to Half-Blood Hill.
When I got there I saw Travis and Chiron standing near Thalia's tree.
"Good your here. This is for both of you." He said handing me and Travis both some mortal money and some Demi-god money. "Be careful and I-M camp every chance you get." He smiled.
"Thank you Chiron!" I said giving him a hug.
"Thanks Chiron." Travis said.
"Chiron how do we get there?" I asked, suddenly.
"Well... you will take a plane to the first destination, then you will take a boat to the island he has his camp at, but you will have to walk for about a day and night to get where you want to go. Just follow this map." He said. Handing me a map of everywhere we have to go.
"But where will we get the plane?" Travis asked.
"It's a privet Jet that a child of Aphrodite owns. Her father is a billionaire so he let her borrow it." Chiron explained.
"Ya, her name is Calla right? I think I dated her for about a week." Travis said, then I elbowed him in the ribs.
"Ow! Katie what was the fo-"
"Thank you Chiron." I smiled. Like nothing ever happened.
He looked at Travis for another moment then went back to explaining. "You can wait for the Jet here and it will land over there. Don't worry about blowing your cover she's a daughter of Hermes."
"Chiron! Some kids are painting each other in Arts and Crafts!" A kid a little younger then me came up and yelled.
"I'll be right there. Good luck children. Sorry I can't wait here with you. Take care of each other. Look after each other. You are nothing with out the person standing next to you." He said, Nodding to both of us and galloping away.
We just sat down at the top of Half-Blood Hill and looked at the rising Sun.
I thought about what Chiron had said: You are nothing with out the person standing next to you. What happens if one of us does not make it back to Camp. I had scolded Travis when he said this last night. If last night was real.
When I looked at Travis I saw that he was staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"N-Nothing." He said, looking away.
"I bet your really disappointed that our pilot is a daughter of Hermes." I said trying to lighten the mood. And get some of the tention out of the air.
"And why would that be?" He asked.
"Two reasons. First, because you have to see a Hermes kid that has a successful carrier while you will never have one. And Two, that you'll be on a plane for two hours and have no one to flirt with because she's your sister." I said.
"On no way, I still have you to flirt with, Garden Girl." He said. Bumping my shoulder.
"Garden Girl?" I asked.
"Yes, Garden Girl. I think it fits you well." He said with a smirk.
"Oh no way! No Nicknames! Just Katie." I yelled.
"Nope sorry it's stuck." He laughed.
"I hate you." I said. "What did you do hit your head at birth?"
"Hey how did yo-" He got cut off by the sound of a jet landing. When I looked up I saw the Jet trying to land. Then it was on the ground.
"Ok, How did it just? Then it? It was in the air. Then... on... ground?" I stood up and looked at it with confusion. Man I need sleep.
Travis came up behind me and whispered in my ear, "Hermes kids have to power to stop time, Remember?" I shivered. Why did I shiver? Cold, it just cold outside. That's it... cold. NOT Travis... Cold. Ugh this is going to be a long quest.
When I got a closer look at the Jet I saw that it was white with some black strikes on the side and a long "Nose" in the front. A/N: A picture of the Jet on my Profile!
"Hello, My name is Taylor. I will be flying you today." She smiled. "And you are?"
"Well, I'm Travis and this here is Garden Girl." Travis said.
"He meant to say, Katie." I said.
"Ok, Travis and Katie. Right this way. And don't worry Chiron already told me about your quest. As you might know, I'm a daughter of Hermes." Taylor said.
"And I can tell by the Nickname that you're a Daughter of Demeter. And how you are looking around this plane to see any valuables I'd Say that your alsoa child of Hermes. And you can stop trying all the valuables are locked up." She smiled.
I laughed at this and Travis just looked down.
"Good. I'll be up front if you need anything. You guys can just sit here and over there is the T.V. so you can watch a Movie if you want. Just yell if you need anything." She said walking up front and starting the jet.
Did I mention that I'm deathly afraid of heights? No? Well I'm really really afraid of heights.
"Travis this plane won't go too high, right?" I asked. Sitting next to him.
"Why? Is Gardner Girl... Afraid of Heights?" He mocked.
"N-No... No!" I yelled. Standing up, then falling down again.
"Ya, right. But don't worry Gardner Girl, I can protect and hold you." He smirked.
"No way! I would rather puke. Which I probably would if you actually did do that." I said, trying to focus on anything other than that I'm floating up in mid-air.
"Come on Katie. Give me your hands." He said. I just looked at him with a strangelook on my face. So he took my hands for me, and intertwined our fingers.
"Just focus on my voice nothing but me." He said.
"Oh No! I know where this is going!" I yelled.
"Come on I'm just trying to help! Gosh Katie just trying to help here!" He yelled back, but with no anger.
"Wait, you just called me Katie." I smiled.
"Is that worth a kiss?" He asked.
"Nope." I said, standing up then falling down again. And guess what I fell into Travis's arms. I still felt dizzy so I just staid there for a second feeling really sick. But just because the gods hate me right now Taylor decided to walk in just then.
"Oh I'm so sorry." She said. "But are you sure that you two aren't dating?" She smirked just like Travis does.
I lifted myself out of Travis's arms and blushed. "No, I just don't like hights."
"Um... Right." Travis said rubbing the back of his neck and standing up with me.
"I'm going to go lie down." I said, walking to the back of the Jet. A/N: Links of the Inside of the Jet of Profile
Travis looked at me like he truly was sorry.
I must of fallen asleep because the next thing I know Travis was shaking me awake. "Katie, Katie, Katie! Wake up! Come on Garden Girl! Fine I'll just kiss you awake." I heard him say.
I shot up and yelled. "I'm awake! I'm awake!"
"Good, now hurry up. One of the plane's engines is on fire! We have to go to the main area, and be ready to land were close enough to our boat that we can still land in the same spot but we have to be ready for a bumpy ride!" He explained.
He held out his hand and I took it. He lead me to the main area and helped me sit down. I was still a little dizzy from being so high.
"Hang on!" I heard Taylor yell from up front.
I grabbed the first thing I could grab. Which happened to be Travis. He just put his arm around me and held me.
You know when I said that I would puke if Travis held me. Well when he does hold me I felt like... Warm? I don't know but I felt good. Like I was happy but still sad. I have no clue what I'm saying but like a happy kind of sad? I'll just shut up now.
"Katie?" I heard Travis asked.
"What?" I asked.
He breathed a sigh of relief. "Were here. We landed."
I took my head away from him shoulder and looked up to see Taylor looking at us.
"Are you absolutely sure that you two aren't dating?" She smirked again.
Travis looked at me and laughed. "No, I'm sure Taylor. Thank you."
"Sure." She said. "But I don't know why our engine went out though.
"Well lets go check it out." Travis said.
When we went outside what I say confused me.
"A sphere?" I asked.
Travis went closer and took it out of the engine. How he did it don't ask me.
"There's a note here too." He looked down and started reading it.
"Don't be to sure of your self
You'll die sometime soon
Don't think that I don't know who you two really are
Katie I love you don't you dare let me down again if you want your boyfriend to live to finish this quest."
"What is he talking about?" I asked.
"Well someone loves you and wants to kill your boyfriend." Travis growled.
"But I don't have a boyfriend!" I yelled.
"It's talking about Travis." Taylor cut in.
"Why? How would we know that we were on a quest. And on this Jet?" I asked.
"I knew it." Travis siad. Looking strait in my eyes.
"Knew what?" I asked.
"Spies, there are Spies at Camp." He sighed.
"Who ever it is we'll find out. And we'll get to the bottom of this." I said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you sure that yo-" Taylor started.
"Taylor!" I yelled.
"Sorry." She said holding up her hands.
"Well we should get going. Our boat is somewhere over there." Travis pointed out.
"Right." I said.
"Thank you Taylor." Travis said.
"No Problem. But just be careful this person is watching your every move and is out to kill you." She said.
I just nodded and Travis lead me to the boat.
"Where to next?" I asked.
"Now we go on this boat for the next 4 days." He said.
"Oh Boy." I groaned.
Travis just smiled as we got onto the boat. It looked like a Yacht that we would have 200 years from now! It was silver and had an open back that could close up at night. It looked small but it was HUGE underneath. It was just like a house It had a Living Room, A Kitchen, and a Bed Room. With two beds thank the gods. But the beds were kinda close. But not too much. But this boat was Aamzing! A/N: Link to the Picture on Profile but just look at the Pictures sorry I couldn't find one with just the Pictures =(
"Who built this?" I asked. Looking around.
"A kid at Camp named Beckendorf." Travis said then turned to me. "Ready?"
"Yep." I said. And we set off for the funnest (And most Embarrassing) part of our Quest.
Again so sorry my "Word" broke down and is still broken so I had to re-write this right onto Fan fiction so sorry
PLEASE REVIEW!
Thank You! =)
