Katie POV
I knocked on the door and behind it a woman answered. She wore a long skirt like women did in the early 1930s. I smiled at her and heard a gunshot behind me. I ducked and brought her down with me and went inside. I closed the door and pushed her to lay flat on the ground. I held my own guns up by me and looked out the window. A little girl came down with an older boy with her. He was probably 14. I smiled at them and heard another gunshot.
"Fuck, get on the ground, I'll be out of your hair here in a second when his gun blows up and it penetrates his brain and he dies, anyway, I'll protect you for now" I smiled at them and heard the exploding gun. I ran out to see he was on the floor dead and Travis was being chased by another guy. He ran behind me while I shot him in the chest and ran back towards the house.
"Travis, in here" I told him and took him inside the house. The woman and children were huddled in fear in the corner.
"Where's your husband?" Travis asked curious. We heard a gun go off and we squatted down.
"That's probably Piper, she wasn't far behind me, this was a stupid as fuck plan" he said. I laughed.
"That's Percy for you" I said and Piper ran inside after seeing me and Travis shot the guy in the head and he went down.
"Where's Percy?" Piper asked after catching her breath.
"He's still with the president" I said and she cocked her gun and looked outside.
"God, the running still hurts my stomach" she said. I smiled at her, amused.
"Oh! I didn't see the incredibly gracious hosts" Piper said and smiled at them.
"We should give them the money, they didn't even try to fight me and its not their fault their house is so close" I told Travis. He gave me a look but took his wad of cash out and slowly and gently handed it to the mother who looked at us shocked.
"Trust me, ma'am we don't need it" Piper reassured her and the woman took the money to her chest then hugged her kids tighter.
"Will they get hurt?" she asked. I shook my head.
"We'll die before that happens" I said. She looked at us confused.
"Why?"
"Because your son is the great great great great, blah, blah, blah, blah, grandfather of the 71st president of the united states and if we weren't here you wouldn't have made one of the most successful presidents ever" Travis said. There was a shot fired and I turned to see Percy running from men shooting at him. I jumped up and Piper stayed put to guard them while Percy ran inside and Travis and I shot at the men. I hit two in the head and one in the leg then the chest. Travis got the other four with ease. I looked down at my foot and saw the blood.
"Shit" I said and kicked my shoe off. It wasn't deeply lodged inside the soft side of my foot, it wouldn't damage much. I hissed and Travis picked me up then groaned. His arm was hit, we were learning from each other how to dodge bullets but we still got some now and then. I hopped over to the house and Piper dug the bullet out of Travis's arm and stitched it up then put a bandage over mine once she got the bullet out.
"He's safe now, but give them guns in case, guns hidden around the house and ones on them because your son is important and he will grow up to be an important man, a very important man" I smiled at the boy who looked at me confused.
"Where's your other son?" I asked the lady.
"Out with my husband" she said.
"Thank you Mrs. Kennedy" I smiled and we gave them the guns.
I lounged around the Delta watching Percy and Piper laugh and cook with each other like two good friends. I smiled and turned to the TV. Travis walked in the room from outside and he grinned.
"Guys, the president wants to see us" he said. I smiled and we walked out to see the 71st president of the untied sates.
"President Kennedy, how are you?" I asked and shook his hand. Piper and Percy also shook his hand and Travis stood next to me as he went up the four of us.
"Did you four succeed in the task?" he asked with a smile at us, for the people taking photos.
"Mr. President if we hadn't succeeded you wouldn't be here" Piper smiled for the cameras. He gave a hearty laugh for the cameras and nodded.
"Thank you… I was told to tell you something, yes… it was from Jason and Percy here" he said and I looked at Percy who looked confused. "They- you- told me a date, you said March 14th, 2009 I believe, they said you would meet there" he smiled and strolled off. I laughed and looked at my friends. We went back to the Delta and hoped it would take us to the date. When we opened the door, we saw a ship. I looked at my clothes and saw I was a pilgrim!
"This is not 2009" Piper said.
"Land!" a man shouted and everyone began to get to work. I heard sick coughs and we walked towards them. I put a piece of cloth over my mouth to keep from getting sick and sat by a small boy. He had a high fever and since this was like the 1500s they didn't have the proper medicine to heal everyone. I sighed deeply and looked at the child.
"You know what you're going to do, you guys are going to pull through this" I told the kids around me. I felt a hand and saw Travis with a mask too.
"We got medication for them" he said and gave me a bottle of water. I helped sit the child up and put the pills in his hand.
"It's going to make you feel better, drink some of this water with it" I told him. He swallowed the pills and we started to distribute them to others, finally once we got them some food and water they began to feel better. After a while and us telling them stories of our adventures, they were checked on by the adults. I stood up and they stared at the kids in wonder at their improvement.
"Witch" a woman said. "Witch!" she screamed and people came running at us. I was taken by some men to the front of the deck. I couldn't even process anything before they had me on the land. They had me by my hands. I finally realized what was happening, they were going to burn me.
"I'm not a witch, I was just giving them water!" I yelled at them and they proceeded to take me and my friends forwards. It was when I saw four other people besides us. I saw Leo, Annabeth, Jason, and Calypso. They threw us on the ground next to each other while they prepared fires.
"What are we going to do?" I asked them. Piper had crawled over to Jason and she kissed him. Percy had Annabeth protectively on his lap. I leaned on Travis because they had hit me hard in the stomach and it hurt to sit up.
"There's nothing we really can do, look around they have weapons and all of ours are in the Delta" Travis said.
"Not exactly" Piper said. She took out a pocket knife and began to cut at her ropes. She cut them then went to Jason, Annabeth, Calypso, Percy, and Travis it was then that they came over to us and grabbed Leo and I, the ones that had their bonds still tied. They all got up and while I was pushed and shoved with Leo to the two stakes I saw them try and fight but had to retreat back. Everyone came forwards and tied us up. I looked the man in front of me in the eyes.
"You will all die painfully for this, the world will never know what happened to you people of Roanoke, they just disappeared, and I plan on coming back one day to kill you so slowly in front of your dead family that you'll never want to kill another person" I snarled at him. He huffed in amusement and I struggled against the bonds while my friends started to fight. To save time I guess, they put Leo and I on the same stake back to back.
"Leo" I whispered to him with tears coming down my face. I was going to die. I once heard that being burned alive was the most painful way to die and I was afraid. I looked at Travis and all my friends while they lit the torch. I caught Travis's eye and I smiled sadly at him, tears falling down my face. I could almost feel him standing by me holding my hand and telling me to run.
"Katie, I'm sorry to say this but I'm glad I'm at least dying with a friend" Leo said and I let out a strangled laugh as tears poured out of my eyes.
"Leo, I'm glad I'm dying with you too" I said. I felt his hands grab my own and I couldn't breathe.
"If we're going out, let's do it with a bang" he told me, his voice quivering. I bit my lip and squeezed his hand. Our friends were fighting against men with weapons but it had no use, they managed to knock a few out but I looked back at Travis with sad eyes then I opened my mouth to say something but I felt the heat start at my feet. I looked down then up at him. I let out a scream at the burning of the flesh of my feet. I squeezed Leo's hands and he squeezed back.
"Let's start out new adventure" I forced out to him and my legs burned. I could see Travis through the flames and he looked murderous. I smiled one last time at him, knowing full well he knew how much he meant to me.
I screamed as the fire burned my whole body until finally everything went dark with my final heart breaking, ear shattering scream, struggling to get out with the burned and bloody throat of mine.
