Author's Notes: This is almost it, one more chapter after this. If anyone has any suggestions about the sequel, let me know.

I stood there, all alone in my cabin, in shock. What just happened? I went over to the window and saw Landon running up the hill. Percy was sitting on the ground listening to his music. I knocked on the glass, but he didn't hear me. I walked over to me bed and curled up into a ball. "I can't believe it. I lost my boyfriend." A single tear escaped my eye, rolling gently down my face and onto the sheets. I just sat there, thinking about what had just happened.

After five minutes, there was another knock on the door. I jumped up and ran to open it, hoping that Landon was on the other side. I opened the door but he wasn't on the other side of it. It was Cathleen, looking both infuriated and confused.

"What the hell just happened? Landon's back at the cabin crying his eyes out. He keeps saying that you betrayed him." She walked in and sat down on the bed. "Now spill it."

I walked over to another empty bed and curled up again. I didn't want to talk about it right now. I just wanted to lie down and wallow in self-misery. "I'll tell you later. I don't feel like talking right now."

She stood up and picked me up by the collar of my shirt. "You're gonna tell me what happened right now so I can either scold you for it or try and help you. If what happened wasn't your fault, let your friends try and help you." She set me down, opening her arms as if to give me a hug.

I took a step back, "No, no hugs. Not after what just happened." I sat back down and started to curl up again.

She sat down next to me and put her hand on my shoulder. "So tell me what happened. I want to try and help you."

I shook my head no. What could she possibly do? This was something that only Tammy could fix and there was no way she would do that. I fell down onto the pillow and closed my eyes. Maybe all I needed was a nap.

"Ryan. Don't you dare fall asleep on me." She shook my body until I opened my eyes. "You're gonna tell me what happened right now."

I sat up, tears filling up my eyes. "You want to know what happened. Fine, I'll tell you. Tammy is a manipulating bitch who needs to die. We should have just left her in the desert for her to dehydrate." I wasn't yelling at her. I really couldn't feel any emotions right now except for pain. My heart felt like a ton of bricks and my limbs were numb.

"That doesn't answer my question. What happened?" She kept calm as well, but her patience was wearing thin.

"Do you know what Aphrodite children can do? I mean what powers they have?"

"No, I don't. Why?"

"They have the power to trap people in hugs, with a kiss being the only way out."

Her eyes widened, "No, Ryan, don't tell me that's what happened."

I started to cry more now, "Yeah, that's what happened. She promised to leave us alone if I gave her a hug. I took the deal, thinking things were finally over, but when I tried to escape, she laughed and said that I had to kiss her to get away. When I kissed her, Landon was in the doorway watching. I tried to explain what happened, but he just yelled and broke up with me."

She wrapped her arms around me, "Then it's not your fault. You should try to talk to Landon about it. I think he'll understand."

I shook my head, "He won't. He doesn't want to listen to what I have to say. As far as he's concerned, I'm a cheater." My throat started to hurt and my eyes were so full of water that my vision was blurry. "Just leave me here alone to die."

She sat me up and slapped me hard across the face. "Don't you talk like that! You need to get back together with him. The happiest I've ever seen you was when you were with him. I don't want to deal with emo Ryan again."

I rubbed my cheek and laid back down. "I'm not going to talk to him yet. What's the point? He's not going to listen to me today anyways. I'll try to talk to him tomorrow." I closed my eyes and emptied my mind.

"Fine, I'm going back to try and talk to Landon but you really need to talk to him tomorrow." She left my room and I soon fell asleep, leaving the dramas of today if only for a few hours.

POV Change: Cathleen

I left Ryan's cabin, partially pissed off at him for not trying to fix something that he could easily fix. Why wouldn't he just come with me and try? Oh well, I'll never understand the mind of a man.

My cabin was much different from Ryan's cabin. Mine's some shade of white with marble columns holding up the roof. The ceiling had many different could patterns and lightning bolts shooting out from the clouds painted on. The beds were all made of clouds, which I didn't even know how they could stay together, let alone hold demigods as they slept.

I came back to my cabin and saw Landon still sitting on his bed crying. I sat down next to him, "Hey, stop crying. Tell me what happened."

He looked up at me, his eyes now a dark storm cloud blue, "What, that cheater didn't tell you what happened?"

I bit my tongue. Even though we were family in a way, I didn't even want my brother calling my best friend mean things. "He told me what happened, but I want to see if what he said makes sense."

"I don't want to talk about it. Leave me alone until tomorrow." He rolled over and curled up into a ball, just like what Ryan tried to do.

"Oh no you don't. Your going to tell me what happened right now." I closed my eyes and smiled. Great, these two are more perfect for each other than macaroni and cheese. I lifted him up so that he was sitting on the bed, "Now spill."

He sighed, "Fine. After we went to talk to Chiron, Tammy came looking for Ryan. They went to have a talk back at his cabin and he told me to come over ten minutes later. I don't know what they were doing for those ten minutes before I arrived but when I got there and opened the door; they were kissing and hugging each other. He told me this ridiculous excuse about how Aphrodite children can trap people in hugs with a kiss being the only way to escape. Isn't that the most asinine thing you've ever heard? I didn't believe him for a second. I broke us up and now I've been here crying for the past ten minutes."

I shook my head. This was getting repetitive and I believed that Ryan wasn't lying. I had to make up an excuse to make Landon believe that Ryan was telling the truth. "That's not actually a lie Landon. Aphrodite children do trap people in hugs with a kiss being the only way to escape. It's not something very good to use during a battle but then again their mother is the goddess of love. Did you forget that?"

He looked up at me with is purple and puffy eyes. "I might have forgotten that little detail but why should I believe you? You're his best friend. You could just be agreeing with him to make me feel bad."

"I know this because I dated a boy from the Aphrodite cabin back in the 1940's. When I broke up with him because I found out he was cheating on me, he tricked me the exact same way that Tammy tricked Ryan."

"R…really?" He hit his forehead with his palms, "I'm so stupid. Why didn't I believe him? I'm going over there right now to beg for us to get back together." He got up and went for the door.

"Don't go right now Landon; it's curfew time. Wait until tomorrow to try. Ryan's very emotionally drained right now and I don't think you going over there would cheer him up. Let him sleep." I wanted to let Ryan sleep first before he would have to deal with this again. He doesn't do well under stress and right now, he was under quite a bit. Also, he gets very grumpy and moody when he gets woken up.

He walked back over to his bed, "That sounds like a plan. I just hope he forgives me for not believing him." He walked over to his bed, stripped down to his boxers as he always does, and crawled under the cloud covers. "Good night Cat. See you tomorrow." He rolled over and fell asleep in a matter of seconds.

I sighed. Now that the drama was over, I could finally try to get some sleep. I changed into my sleepwear and got under the covers, falling asleep just as quickly as Ryan and Landon had.

POV Change: Ryan

I woke up in the morning feeling refreshed. I was happy at first but then I remembered what happened last night. I started to cry again, all the pain returning. I didn't want to even leave my cabin. I sat there for over half an hour; silently cry so I wouldn't wake up Percy.

Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I walked over to the door and on the other side was Cathleen. "Good morning Cat. I guess you've come to drag me back with you so I can try to explain myself."

"No, I've come over here to give you a heads up. Landon's still asleep but we talked last night and he believes what you said. He was going to come over last night to try to fix things but I told him no because I knew you were asleep. I don't know what you're feeling right now but please, when he comes over, be nice. He may have overreacted but don't get too angry about it." She gave me a hug before she walked back over to the dining pavilion for breakfast.

I stood in my doorway in deep thought. He believed me but it wasn't because I convinced him. He had to be convinced by Cat. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. Why didn't he just listen to me in the first place? He doesn't trust me at all.

I stood there for maybe ten minutes before I decided to walk down to the beach. Maybe a quick feet soak in the ocean would help me clear my mind.

The walk down to the beach wasn't very exciting. Since it was early in the morning, not many campers were awake yet. That also meant that the beach would be bare of campers. I smiled at that fact. I didn't want to look at anyone yet.

When I got to the beach, I sat down in the sand and waded my feet in the water. My mind started to sort out all of what had happened last night. I was now just happy that it was over. I wasn't mad at anyone and all my pain was gone now. The only thing that would keep popping up in my head was the reminder that Landon didn't trust me. I hated when people didn't trust me, especially when the reason they didn't trust me wasn't my fault.

I laid down and closed my eyes, drifting between consciousness and the dream world. I let myself fall asleep again, my body apparently still exhausted from yesterday.

For the first time in about a week, I had another dream, only this dream was about David and Brent. They were on a mountain, talking with someone I had never seen before. He wore white makeup with small black rings around his eyes. He kept waving his hands around but he wouldn't speak a word.

"Who is this man Brent? He's scaring me." David sat as far away from the man as he could.

Brent just smiled, "This is Mimious, minor god. He is the god of silence and silent entertainment, or mimes if you will. He has the most demigod children in the entire world. Whenever you see a mime or someone who can not talk, they are a child of Mimious."

"But why is he here. Can't you fulfill you plan without him?"

He shook his head, "No, he was part of the prophecy. And he has a special past that makes him perfect for my plans."

"And what is that?" David looked right where I was and winked. Did he know I was watching?

"He was a new god born only five hundred years ago. His parents are Zeus and Aphrodite. About one hundred years ago, he tried to silence all of Olympus because he felt that things were too loud up there. He started to trap all the gods in invisible boxes that can only be destroyed from the outside. He almost succeeded until Poseidon came up for a visit and found eleven out of twelve Olympians trapped on their thrones. Poseidon destroyed the boxes and Zeus banished Mimious from Olympus forever."

David gulped hard, "Oh, I see. So how does he fit into your plan?"

He laughed manically, "I plan on taking over Olympus and having the gods watch as I destroy the world. I don't want them to die so quickly, they need to watch the destruction first. I plan on using Mimious to trap the gods so that they won't have any means to escape."

"But what about Kronus? I thought you were going to revive him."

"I already have tried to revive him. The golden sarcophagus that Luke left behind here has been activated but it needs a very powerful sacrifice to even begin reviving him. Percy Jackson almost completely destroyed him, but since he didn't burn the dust, he is still alive, waiting for his revenge."

"I see. So who are you planning on sacrificing in order to revive him?" David looked at me, fear filled his eyes.

"Why so many questions David? Don't you trust me?" Brent walked over to him and gave David a kiss on the lips. "I'll tell you some other time, but right now, let's just go back inside and relax a bit." He looked over at Mimious, "You may go inside but please do not bother us." He took David's hand and they walked inside.

I saw David look back at me, a tear sliding down his face as he walked inside the temple to do whatever Brent wanted him to do.

I woke up suddenly. I felt my forehead and found it full of sweat. That dream wasn't a normal dream, it was a vision. I needed to go warn Chiron. I stood up and ran over to the Big House, making it there in record time. "Chiron, are you awake? I have something important to tell you!"

I heard hooves running to the front door. Chiron opened the door, still in his pajamas, "What has happened Ryan?"

"I had a vision, of Brent and David. I know what Brent's planning to do to Olympus."

His eyes widened, "We must call an assembly of cabin leaders." He ran over and grabbed a giant conch shell. He blew into the shell and the familiar sound of the conch siren rang threw the entire camp.

I walked inside and sat down at the large, circular table in the center of the living room. Dionysius was sitting down in a recliner chair watching the food network.

In only five minutes, the entire camp was waiting in front of the big house. I heard Chiron say that only the cabin leaders were needed right now and that he would keep them updated on what was happening.

I saw the Eloquis twins walk in, then Shane, then Cathleen, Amber, and Landon. A few minutes later, Clarisse, Percy, Annabeth, and Nico walk in. The last person to walk in was the last person who I wanted to see right now. Tammy, in one day, had become the cabin leader of the Aphrodite cabin. We all sat down in order of the cabins, meaning I sat down next to Landon.

"We shall now begin the meeting. As you all know, the quest group has returned and they have found the traitor among the group. Ryan, you may now tell us about what happened."

"Alright. As you all know, Landon was given a prophecy about the revival of Kronus and that someone from the quest group was going to become a traitor to the gods. That traitor was Brent Edwards."

Clarisse stood up, "I can't believe that little bastard would betray my trust and soil my good name. When I see him again, I'm going to be the one to end him."

"That's fine Clarisse, but let me talk. The other person who left with Brent was David Pollince, a Demeter child. Until now, we didn't know what they were planning."

"What do you mean 'until now'? We still don't know what they're planning." Annabeth stood up, "Did something happen that we should know about?"

"I was getting to that. Just a few minutes ago, I had a dream vision. I heard exactly what Brent's trying to do." I turned to Chiron, "Do you know of a minor god named Mimious?"

Chiron froze, "I do. Is he involved with this?"

I nodded, "Mimious is a very dangerous minor god. He looks like an ordinary mime but he can actually trap you in an indestructible box. Brent is planning on trapping the gods in these boxes and having them watch as he destroys the world."

Percy stood up, "But what about Kronus?"

I shivered, "He's using some sort of golden sarcophagus to gather the dust particles of Kronus back on some mountain. He also said that he needs a very powerful sacrifice to start the assembly."

Percy sat back down, "I see, so they're on Mount Othrys in San Francisco. Do you have any idea who he's planning to sacrifice?"

"No, Brent wouldn't tell David that during my dream."

"Isn't David on the bad team?" Landon looked at me from across the table.

"I don't believe so. I think he's only with Brent because he's trying to become a spy for the camp. He kept looking right at me during my dream."

I saw Percy smile, "So we have someone on the inside, that's good."

"Yes, but we must tell the gods as soon as possible. They must learn of what might happen."

"I agree. I shall go to Olympus myself and tell them." Mr. D stood up, "I don't want Kronus to be revived again. The last time was too close for comfort." He closed his eyes and he vanished in a poof of leaves, leaving the scent of grapes behind.

Suddenly, a camper ran into the house, "Chiron, a group of girls have just arrived at camp and are waiting for you outside."

"Ah, this is good. The Hunters of Artimis have arrived. I called them the other day after your group arrived back at camp so they could rendezvous here and come up with a strategy."

"That's good Chiron; we'll need all the help we can get. That's all I have to say. We'll have another meeting soon to formulate a strategy, but for now, just relax and enjoy the peace."

They all nodded and started to shuffle out, all except for Cat, Landon, and Percy.

Landon came over to me and smiled, "Hey."

"Hey." It was an awkward feeling to be talking to him right now.

"I have some good news. I was an idiot for not trusting you and I fully believe you."

"Yeah, you were, but I'm still mad at you."

He looked at me, "Why are you mad at me?"

"Because you didn't trust me enough to explain myself. You overreacted before I was able to defend myself. That made me think that you either didn't trust me or that you were looking for an excuse to break up with me from the beginning."

He looked down, "I admit it, I overreacted, but that was my fault and I apologize. Neither one of your reasons why I broke up with you were the real reason why I did it. It was just in the heat of the moment and my brain wasn't working. Please," He dropped to his knees, "Forgive me."

I didn't want to see him like this, "I'll forgive you if you can prove to me that you trust me. I'm going to the beach to relax. If you figure out a way to prove it to me, that's where I'll be." I walked out of the house, leaving Landon crying again on the floor, but this time, I didn't feel bad about it. I needed to know for myself that he trusted me.

Percy ran up next to me, "Dude, what happened last night?"

"When I hugged Tammy last night, she trapped me in the hug. I had to kiss her to escape and when I did, Landon saw me and broke up with me. That was just my angry emotions letting him know that overreacting without thinking has it's consequences. I know it's not his fault. I probably would have done the same thing, but I just want to see if he truly loves me. If he takes the time to come up with a plan to get me back, I know he loves me. I don't even care what he comes up with, as long as it takes him some time to come up with it." I was being such a hypocrite right now.

"I see but dude, that's not nice. You're torturing that poor boy. Even if he doesn't come up with a good plan, you need to get back together with him."

"I was planning on it but I want to see what he comes up with. I'm going down to the beach to take another nap. Maybe I'll have another vision."

He nodded, "That sounds like a plan bro. I'll see you later then." He ran off towards the dining pavilion, probably off to get some breakfast.

I kept walking until I arrived at the beach. I laid down in the same spot I was before and quickly drifted into unconsciousness.

I had two different dreams this time. First, I had a dream of Tammy packing her things into a suitcase.

"I'll show Ryan exactly how much I love him. I'm going to where David and Brent are to take them out. Then he'll love me and I'll be a hero." She quickly slung her suitcase over her shoulder and left her cabin.

The second dream was of two girls running through New York. They were smiling but they looked like they were in a hurry. "Come on Heather, we have to make it to this camp before any monsters find us."

"I know that Jennifer, but can't we take a food break first, I'm famished." Heather was a tall, light-skinned girl with long, dirty blonde hair. Jennifer was a short, dark skinned girl with short, black hair.

"How much longer until we get there Heather?"

"It's on Long Island, so we don't have much farther to go."

"Then you can wait until we get there for some food." Jennifer laughed softly, in a mocking way.

Heather just scowled at her, "Fine, I'll wait until we get to the camp." They both ran to a train station and purchased tickets to Long Island, meaning that if I was watching this as it was happening, they would arrive either late tonight or early tomorrow.

I felt someone shaking me, so I woke up and found Landon lying next to me.

"Hey Ryan, I figured out a way to prove that I trust you."

I leaned up and smiled, "That's good, but I was going to forgive you anyways. But let's just hear what you came up with."

He smiled and waved his hands around, forming a cloud low enough to the ground to where if someone wanted to stand on it, they could. "Think about it, it's not that hard to figure out with this clue."

I racked my brain to come up with an answer, "I'm at a loss, just tell me." I laughed softly.

He just smiled and kissed me lightly on the lips, "We're going to travel up high in the air and do something very personal on this cloud."

Finally, my brain remembered something from way back when we lost our virginity. "No, Landon, we're not going to."

He nodded, "Yes, this was the only way I could think of. We're going to go up into the sky and we're going to have sex with you topping."
