Travis Pov
I tore through the trees at camp. I was running from a very angry Katie Gardner whose cabin I had just pranked. Let's just say their cabin may now be a very bright pink color. Connor had already been caught and now Katie had all her wrath focused on me.
Now you would think being the son of the god of thieves I would be light on my feet and stealthy, well that's not true at all. I tripped over every root or pile of leaves that were in my way, whereas Katie she had no trouble getting over them. I needed a way to get her not to kill me.
A giant tree lay in the path and I tried jumping it but tripped. If that wasn't bad enough I got impaled by a sharp branch sticking up from the trunk of it. My shirt was soon covered in blood and I was no longer concerned about Katie killing me.
"When I get my hands on you-" She quit yelling when she caught me noticing the blood on my shirt.
"Oh, gods," She muttered to herself.
"That bad huh?" I asked chuckling slightly.
"Here let's get you back to camp so they can heal you." She said her face white as chalk. She bent down to me and I draped an arm over her shoulders as she lifted me up. She began walking, carrying most of my weight.
"You're so lucky that tree got you and not me Travis," she said trying to joke but her face was still slightly paler than usual. I couldn't help but notice how pretty her green eyes were when the sun caught them just right.
"I'd prefer the tree than your wrath any day," I told her chuckling but coughing from the pain.
She sighed, "I hope we get back to camp in time, you seem to have lost a lot of blood."
"Hey Katie," I said as we were walking back to camp.
"Yeah?" She asked tilting her head slightly to look at me.
I got lost in her eyes for a second before answering, "Thank you for helping me, I know I'm not your favorite person in the world."
She snorted, "Isn't that the understatement of the year."
I smiled back at her, "Y'know, maybe I'll stop pranking your cabin as much. Since you've been so kind as to help little old me."
She smiled back, "Well that's nice of you. Did you hit your head as well?"
I chuckled again but it quickly turned into coughing, "Nope just my left shoulder, should be fine."
She nodded at me and I got the feeling she was freaking out. Her dirty blonde hair trailed behind her and I caught the scent of it. It made me smile, it smelled like the camp garden. This was nice just being nice for a change, but of course how long would that last.
We were almost out of the woods and I could see Connor being tied up to the flag pole at camp. I was glad that wasn't me, but maybe looking back on it that might have been better.
"Thank the gods, we're almost back to camp," Katie muttered out of breath, I guess I'd been leaning on her too much.
"So what are your cabin mates going to think of you carrying me back into camp?" I asked her with a grin.
She looked back at me and returned the grin, "Who cares what they think, a wounded camper always comes before personal vendettas."
Almost out of the woods Connor caught my eye from atop the flag pole and muttered plan B. I smiled, this was going to be fun.
"Hey Katie, can we stop here a moment." I said reaching into my back pocket with my left hand.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" She asked looking at my wound.
"Oh nothing, I just want to catch my breath for a second."
"Good, I need to catch mine as well," She said taking a deep breath.
My fingers finally grabbed the ziplock bag I had in the pocket. I slowly pulled it out and opened it. I couldn't help myself but grin.
Katie noticed me smiling, "You alright Travis?"
"Yeah just fine," I said running my right hand through her pretty hair, causing her cheeks to flush slightly.
"Travis-" She started but I stopped her with my right hand over her mouth shushing her.
"I gotta tell you something Katie," I said pulling away from her slightly.
She looked at me kind of dreamily, her cheeks still pink, "Yeah?"
"Gotcha!" I yelled dumping the contents of the bag onto her head. There were tons of red ants and cockroaches running all through her hair now.
"Travis!" She screamed brushing her hair off.
I bursted out laughing watching her freak out over the bugs in her hair. This may be the best plan B ever.
"Hey Gardner, perhaps you should look a bit closer at this 'blood'" I said pulling out a packet of ketchup.
I had really fallen but quick thinking on my part had me take the ketchup and pretend to be hurt. I had to say it was one of my more maniacal plans yet.
"Travis I'm going to kill you!" She screamed looking at the ketchup. The bugs were still crawling through her hair but she was more interested in killing me now.
I took off running and luckily the rest of the Demeter cabin had left Connor alone and I managed to get him down before Katie caught us. I would probably pay for this later but right now nothing was sweeter than hearing Katie call death threats to me.
