I put a bit of Katie/Travis because the temptation was too great. :D

Ambrosia for everyone who reviewed! |::| |::| |::| |::| |::| |::| |::|

Katie Gardener:

Katie had never officially met Jason, Piper or Leo, as she had spent the start summer and the school year with her father, giving 'regular' life a second chance. But they had certainly made dinner horribly interesting.

Mist filled the air, Katie instantly recognized it as an Iris Message.

"I'm blind!" yelled Travis Stoll, resident idiot of Camp Half-Blood. With her time with her father, there were a lot of things that she missed about Camp Half-Blood. The twin Hermes prankers weren't one of them.

Ever since she had set foot on Half-Blood hill, she had become the number one victim. A lot of people claimed to be the 'number one victim' of the Stoll's to be cool or whatever, but Katie never really understood it. She just Knew that she was the number one victim. She had woken up with out her clothes/weapons/gardening tools/ in a mud filled bed too many times to count. It was diffidently NOT cool.

Her mental rant was cut off when the seven plus Nico appeared through the mist. She longed for good news, apparently the Romans were going to invade camp, even though the camp had so many new campers and the number of campers had tripled in size from the Titan War it was still hard to think about.

Katie had lost siblings in the war, even after the war had ended she had refused to even touch a weapon, not even something a simple and supposedly harmless as a butter knife. she had admittedly only started using her sward again when the Stoll's had decorated the Demeter cabin with chocolate easter bunnys again.

It was too soon for more fighting.

"Hey," Nico seemed to look around at the crowd of eating demigods, or more exactly ex-eating demigods, no one could really feel like eating when something as unique as an Iris Message from questers appeared.

Nico looked around, seemingly cringing at the sheer multitude. They were all gathered there in the pavilion.

"uhhh... Well," Nico gulped and started to cry? "we're on our way to Greece,"

A rowdy cheer went up from the assembled demigods, and Katie saw that Nico, if possible, looked even more miserable.

"..." Nico's mouth was moving but nothing was coming out. A grimy built asian guy walked up facing and getting closer to the mist, freely crying. The cheers died. "I'm Frank Zhang, Roman." Katie thought that there was more to the poor depressed guy's title even though Frank hadn't said anything more. "Percy and Annabeth-"

his voice caught.

Katie searched the 'seven'. There was a sayer, a latin elf, who must have been Leo, a built blond with a sort of aura, it was not like Percy's as Percy's was more strong and trustable, but the guy was still obviously powerful. a girl stood to the corner, she was pretty in a natural way, that must be Piper, the one Drew's been going off about. And Nico, in his Aviator jacket looking as goth as usual.

But Katie realized Annabeth and Percy were missing from the weary rag-tag group, where were they? A few other campers seemed to realize the shortage of prophecy kids and started to murmur.

"where do you think they are?" Miranda Gardener asked Katie, Miranda had been Katie's replacement cabin leader during her absence. Miranda and she, coincidently had the same last name even though they had no blood relationship besides their godly parent, Demeter.

"I don't know." Katie replied softly, what happened

a shorter girl with coco skin also covered in dust and dirt rubbed the asian guys arm comfortingly, and took over. "Percy and Annabeth... fell into Tartarus."

That gained a collective gasp. the slect few of Aphrodite cabin and some particularly gossip-y Hebes, who had no doubt been betting that the couple had snuck off to snog, blink in surprize.

Katie couldn't blame them. she herself must of resembled a fish. she gaped, she had surly heard wrong Tartarus?

She watched at the camp eroded from the inside.

they went on to do to the camp fire, but Katie was in shock, she didn't even protest when Travis looped an arm around her shoulders and cringed obviously getting ready for the sward that would normally be pointed at his neck by this point. but Katie was in a trace, her mind was somewhere else. she didn't have ether the mental or physical health or current capability to do much of anything.

she didn't struggle, that missing action seemed to surprize Travis greatly and Katie even more but he got it, she sad and confused. He wrapped her in a hug. for once she Katie shut her mouth and sobbed.

thank you :D
