Chapter ten… We've gotten that far already? Huh.

Song: Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri.

Katie

After Travis and I came back to our senses, Annabeth asked us "What just happened?"

I shook my head and stared at the window, possibly hoping that the dove would come back with the key as if to say Woops, sorry, wrong key from the wrong person. But then did I really expect a dove to come back to me in pity?

I locked eyes with Travis and he asked "The key?"

I nodded. "What is going on?" Percy asked.

"Nothing, um, thanks for letting us into your cabin, but we need to go." Travis said and he grabbed my hand.

Annabeth and Percy looked at Travis bewildered, probably from hearing him actually apologize for something.

And me? Oh, I'm still trying to process what just happened a few minutes ago.

We started walking toward the beach, which is where we saw the dove fly to with the key. "Hey, how are you holding up?" Travis asked uncertainly. I couldn't blame him, I probably looked like I was about to explode.

"I had the key; I was so close to getting it…" I said and slumped on a boulder.

Travis sat by me and put his arm around my shoulders, while I leaned into him.

"Katie-cat, don't worry, we'll get this thing figured out." Coming from someone else, I would've yelled at them not to tell me that everything would be fine, that everything would okay. But coming from Travis, his words always calm my nerves.

"You know what the best part about this is?" Travis asked, and I looked up at him.

"What?" I asked, and Travis smiled.

"Me being able to be with you." I looked away because I could feel myself starting to blush.

"Katie-cat, you're blushing!" Travis mocked teasingly, making me look at him. I rolled my eyes and pushed him playfully, but I could tell I was smiling too.

I put my head on Travis's shoulder and closed my eyes, while Travis played with my hair. Nothing could ruin this moment, no stupid key or dove, nothing. For once, I wondered why I was overreacting to losing this little key. I mean, Chiron would understand, right?

But for reason, I felt like something was going to go wrong. And that the dove was connected to that somehow, but I just couldn't figure out why.

Dove… My eyes shot open, wasn't that the symbol for-

"No way!" Someone said and Travis and my head shot up. Jenny was standing there with a look that seemed as if she achieved something.

"Jenny, what are you doing here?" I asked, and she grinned.

"Going down to the beach of course, what are you doing?" she asked waggling her eyebrows, which Travis caught and blushed.

I glared at her, which just seemed to satisfy her more. "Nothing that you need to know of."

"Fine," Jenny said, walking toward the beach again. "Suit yourself!" She called over her shoulder. Even though she was dropping the subject now, I could tell that I was going to have a long night with her pestering me.

"She seems, interesting?" Travis said, which came more out like a question.

I shrugged. "Pre-teens,"

Travis and I got up, and started heading back to the beach again. When we got there, only a couple of other people were there already but I didn't pay much attention to who they were. The wind blew my hair back, while the sun beat down on my face.

I looked over at Travis whose hair was swept back gracefully, while mine probably looked like a rat's nest. I took in his features, the cute freckles that splattered across his nose, and his blue eyes that always had a mischievous tint to them.

Stopping my thoughts, Travis asked me, smirking "Done checking me out Katie-cat?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "Whatever keeps you sleep at night,"

Whispering into my ear, he said "Actually, at night I like it rough-"

My eyes widened and I punched his arm. "You're so gross!"

Travis smirked and kissed me on the cheek. "I know,"

I rolled my eyes at him again, and looked around the beach. How are we going to find the dove now?

"Hey Katie!" I heard someone say, and I turn to see who was calling me. But before I did, I didn't miss the glare that Travis was sending to someone.

I raised an eyebrow at him, and turned around to see Kyle running toward us, grinning. He was wearing only swim trunks, and was dripping wet so I guessed he went swimming.

My eyes glanced at his six-pack- not that I was attracted to them- it's just, how often do you get to see one of this? I wonder if Travis has one…

Oh gods, Travis's pervert-ness is rubbing off on me. That was not good.

"Hey Kyle," I said when he reached us, and I felt Travis's arm slip around my waist. Aware of the tension, I glanced up at him but he just had a cold stare directed to Kyle.

I raised my eyebrow at him again.

"So, Katie-"Kyle said and I looked back toward him. "-going for a swim?"

"No-"I was cut off by Travis who practically growled at Kyle.

"No, she's not." Travis said coldly.

"Oh," Kyle said and his eyes wandered to Travis's arm that was around my waist.

"Oh-"He said again as if something started to make since. "-oh." He said more unfriendly than last time, and Travis and him held a stare. For a second I was worried they were going to rip off each other's heads.

Kyle looked back at me and his glare vanished. "Well, then, I'll see you later Katie." Kyle said and started heading back toward the cabins.

When he was gone I turned back toward Travis. "Okay, what is up with you and Kyle?"

"Nothing," Travis huffed and started walking away along the beach.

I walked beside him. "Travis, seriously, what's going on?" I glared at him when he didn't respond. "Travis," When he didn't respond again, I stopped in my tracks and crossed my arms.

Travis sighed and turned back toward me. "Look, I'm sorry-"

"If you're sorry then you'll tell what just happened back there." I said.

Travis ran his fingers through his hair, irritated. "Katie, I just don't want to lose you to that guy."

I looked at him confused. "What are you-"

Travis walked up to me till we were face to face and I could feel his breath on me.

Cupping my cheek, he said "You're so oblivious, you know that?" He didn't say that in an insulting way, but more teasingly.

I waited for him to continue, and he sighed, pressing his forehead against mine.

"It's obvious that guy is hitting on you, and what do I have against him? He's a stupid Aphrodite kid with his perfect blond hair, and his pearl white smile, and-"

I silenced him by putting my lips against his. "Stop, you're better than him in many ways, so just stop." I told him.

Travis smiled at my response. "Did I ever tell you how awesome you were?"

"No, but that doesn't mean that you don't have to." I said.

Travis smiled and pecked my lips. "C'mon, we have a dove to find."

I would've groaned, but I was too happy at that moment to.

I know, a filler chapter, but I wanted to put some Tratie in since there wasn't much in the last one.
