Chapter 5

Travis's POV

I can't believe I just kissed Katie. Well, I can believe that. What I can't believe is that she kissed me back. She pulled away and started blushing fiercely. She reached up and wiped something of my lips. I felt my face and the tip of my ears heating up. Katie blushed even more and shyly looked at the ground.

I lifted her face up too look at me.

"That was...um *cough* good. I liked that," I said, blushing even more.

"I liked it too," Katie replied, her face blushing even more. If that was possible.

"Well," I said awkwardly. "I guess we should finish the dishes. You know."

"Yeah, I guess." said Katie.

The rest of the dishes were in a semi-awkward silence. When we finished, we both went back to our cabins to get ready for campfire.

"Bye." I said to Katie.

"Good-bye, Travis!" she yelled, waving.

Katie's POV

Okay. My life is awkward. Completely awkward. I can't believe I kissed Travis. Oh, and that I liked it. Ugh, what if my siblings find out? Oh no they would-

"Hey Katie. How was KP with the leader skunk?" Miranda snickered.

"It was...um *cough* okay. We didn't talk at all. We put the gear on, did the dishes and left," I lied.

"Okay. Then our shifts shouldn't be that bad. If goes how yours went," Miranda replied.

She would so regret those words, if only she knew the truth.

************************LINE BREAK************************

Rose came up to me about five minutes later, when we were alone.

"You like Travis, don't you?" she asked, catching me a bit off guard.

"Um, I uh-" I stuttered, beginning to turn red as a tomato.

"So you do like him!" she exclaimed.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"The way that he looked at you, I could tell."

"Are you some daughter of Aphrodite now?" I ask.

"Ha no. Who would want to be?"

"Be careful. Aphrodite could curse you."

"Pfft. Whatever. So you ready to go to the campfire?"

"Sure. Let's go."

Rose and I linked arms and walked out of the cabin. We headed towards the camp fire and I stopped in my tracks. Travis was standing about 10ft in front of us and was holding a girl... that looked like Sandra, from the Hebe cabin. I whimpered and Rose give me a sympathetic look. She steered me away from them and headed towards our secret spot. Our secret spot was behind a bunch of bushes, the bushes being surrounded by trees. Being daughters of Demeter, we can manipulate plants. So, when we first found it, we dug a hole in the bottom of the bushes, so we can crawl through. Behind the bushes, there was an open area. We planted some trees in a circle around it and as the grew we manipulated them too create a roof and walls. So we have shelter. After crawling through the bushes, we sat down on the soft grass.

"It's okay." she reassured me. "I'm sure Travis is just talking to her or something."

"Or something." I muttered, furious. "How could he? And after we..." I trailed off, as I wasn't about to tell that part to my half-sister.

"And after you... what?" she asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." I snapped. "Nothing. Don't dwell on it, okay?"

"Okay." she replied. "I was just asking!"

"I got to go. I need some fresh air," I said, then remembered that we were outside. "Um...fresher air. And a walk."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Rose asked.

"No. That's okay. I just need time to think," I waved bye to her and crawled under the bushes, walked through the trees and headed in the opposite direction of the camp. I thought as I walked. Travis is such a pig! How could he do that after we kissed?! A little voice in the back of my head was saying to let Travis explain. But a bigger voice was saying he was just a pig. I agreed with the bigger voice. I was so deep in thought that I didn't know where I had walked too. I looked at my surroundings and suddenly got nervous. I had no clue where I was. I knew I was still in camp but I had no clue where. I was lost. I was so busy trying to figure out where I was, that I didn't hear the footsteps behind me. Someone clamped their hand over my mouth so I wouldn't scream.

A familiar yet unrecognizable whispered in my ear," Don't scream. It will make it easier for the both of us."

Me being the scaredy-cat Demeter camper I am, I screamed. Not the best choice, if you're wondering. My kidnapper hit me on the head with something, and the whole world dissolved into darkness.

END OF CHAPTER 5
