Hey guys! Here's a late update but I hope you understand! School! Anyways to make a few things clear at the moment. 1: Only one person counts for each review so despite the fact Miki reviewed so many times the total number is- 14 I believe…which is still amazing! Thanks guys! And 2: A FOIL is something when it takes two people completely opposite from each other and it magnifies the personalities. Ex: Harry and Draco, Benvolio and Tybalt, etc. If that makes since….and the reason Holly isn't going to be the FOIL with Mel is because Mel IS Jared's sister, the whole thing is just a bit too painful for her at the moment but maybe in the future!

Question: Who do you think Surrenderin's killer is?
Chapter 12: No signal
Surrenderin's Pov
"I'VE GOT IT!" Mel suddenly screamed, causing me to jump in alarm and flinched with my stomachs cut reopened.
"You understand why the plants went all freaky on us?" She shook her head and met my gaze with her own serious yet thrilled one.
"No silly! I've got a nickname for you! I mean I'm sorry but saying Surrenderin all the time is just a mouthful, soooooooooo you are now Ren!"
"Ren?" She nodded and continued to pull me forward as I just shook my head and let it go. I mean out of everything she could of called me Ren was probably the best option. Looking forward again I held the paper towels to my stomach as we made our way to the Big House, not only to bandage my stomach but to tell Chiron bout the plants; if he was there.
"Why hasn't it healed yet?" Mel's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, half-way in my daze I lazily looked towards her forehead pinching in confusion.
"What?" I asked.
"Why hasn't it healed yet? Your stomach I mean. Usually gods only take a few minutes to heal…..but it hasn't yet. I want to know why." I just shrugged and kept walking.
"I don't know, I've never been one for healing I guess. I mean—"
"CHIRON!" Mel suddenly screamed at the centaur ahead of us, talking to a girl with white blonde hair and yellow eyes, next to her was a taller boy with golden spiked blonde hair and orange eyes. Both had huge smiles on their faces.
"OMG! You must be Holly's new sister! Which means…WHICH MEANS YOUR MY AUNT TOO!" The girl suddenly screeched as she threw herself at us, bouncing up and down with excitement. It gave me a headache.
"Ah, well Ren this is Miki. Daughter of Eos. Next to her is the only other teen god in camp I guess, Davis. Son of Aphrodite and Ares, partial god of fire. "I nodded and looked at Miki who without warning hugged Mel and then (painfully I might add) hugged me as well, in turn I just awkwardly patted her back and muttered my hellos.
"Well, what did you need me for Mel?" She sighed and without warning lifted up my shirt to wear the cut showed, I blushed in embarrassment and slowly pulled my shirt back there….trying to avoid the gaze of Davis.
"The plants went all wako on us while we were in the forest. They seemed to only attack Ren here though; I cut her loose but in doing so my knife caught onto her stomach. It's not too deep but it's the plants I'm concerned about." I looked up to see that Chiron had gone white; slowly he turned to Miki with a grim expression on his face.
"Miki I need you to get Holly for me. Tell her that it's begun. Exactly those words, do you understand?" Miki nodded and after saluting to Chiron she grabbed Davis's hand and ran towards the direction of the cabins. "Now, Surrenderin dear, let's get that cut patched up shall we?"
Holly's Pov
"And you're positive they won't catch us?" I muttered but Travis nodded with that silly grin on his face, his hands clutching a jar of fire ants covered in blue dye…..blue dye that Travis insisted had to be permanent otherwise it wouldn't be funny.
"Chill Holls, I'm a PRO at this!" I silently shook my head but laughed in the end, nervously I looked left and right then stood up on my knees to glance into the Ares cabin. Currently we were leaning against the outside wall, waiting for the Are's kids to completely leave the cabin.
"Oh ya right, I take this from the guy who was cursed so many times from different cabins for BEING CAUGHT!" Travis just shrugged and thrust the jar into my hands, without warning he gave me a small wave and bolted into the cabin only to return minutes later with the Ares cabin's favorite weapons. After throwing them into my awaiting hands Travis reached into his pocket and pulled out glitter, pink ribbons, lipstick, and other girly items the Aphrodite cabin would hold anywhere they went. Laughing I took the tools and begun tying the ribbons to each of the sharp objects then took the bottle of glitter into my hands only pausing when my eye caught the label.
"Really Travis? Reproducing glitter? Where in Hades did you get this!" Travis instantly started laughing and shook his head.
"You do NOT want to know but get this; the more they shake the glitter off or rub it off the more it spreads until it will be ALL over their cabin." I couldn't help it. I laughed. Shaking my head I took the lip stick out and in my loopy cursive I took the metal and on the sharpest sword I started writing.
'For our special friends… these things were just too dull so we thought we'd add a little….sparkle to it all. Xoxoxo you're Aphrodite friends.'
Then after split hesitation I applied the lip stick to my lips until the red was thick, only then did I place a thick kiss on the metal. Water proof lip stick.
"Time for part two." Travis muttered then took the weapons back and placed them where they, knew my cue I dashed into the Aphrodite cabin and let the ants loose then watched them leave little dots of blue all over the place.
"Perfect" I muttered and ran back outside to Travis who had two lawn chairs set up a ways back to where no one would see us. Smiling for what seemed the first time in forever I calmly started walking over to Travis and flopped down next to him. Our legs touching.
"The cabins should get back in exactly five minutes." I laughed and looked at Travis, watched his eyes light up with what he loved to do.
"Thank you Travs." Startled he looked my way but returned my smile with a crooked grin of his.
"What do you mean?" He cocked his eyebrow at me.
"Well, I've been so sad….I mean I'm not better but around you—well I am. Thank you for everything."
"Of course Holly, you're my best friend; I would do anything for you." Gently Travis took my hand and gently squeezed it. I opened my mouth to say something else but was interrupted by shrilly screams erupting in the air.
"Ah, music to my ears." Travis muttered and met my gaze. "Ya know, that red looks really good on you." Then slowly Travis's face lowered to mine until our lips met. Starting out as a soft gentle kiss erupted into something bigger, my arms instantly went around his next as his strong arms pulled me closer. I could feel his heart pounding against my chest, mine pounding in tune with his.
"HOLLY!" A voice suddenly screamed. Jumping apart I looked into the distance to see Miki running towards us, knowing what she's seen my cheeks got hot. "Chiron needs you NOW. He says 'it's begun'!" She screamed. Nodding I jumped up and started running after her. Only did I truly realize what had just happened. I kissed Travis, I liked it, and I betrayed Jared.
