(PS. I'm a girl so writing as a boy is not easy, Plz criticize my boyish writing and give tips.)

Travis POV:

I woke up and groaned recalling last nights encounter. Katie Gardner acted as if I was the bane of her existence but really who could resist this. But even though I did enjoy annoying her till she exploded I was not looking forward to spending who knows how long in the middle of nowhere and sleeping by her while she had a weapon. I shuddered.

"Connor!" I called to him. "We have a quest to attend, so to the Big House."

"Mmmph," He replied.

"Wow I LOVE your AMAZING word choice" I said, rolling my eyes. "Such a poet." I slid out the bed, which was unfortunate since I slept on the top bunk. Thump. I winced and hobbled toward the bathroom and looked in the mirror to assess the situation. My eyes where red and puffy and the hair was something else. It stuck out in all different ways up, down, left, right, etc. I heaved a sigh. Just because I'm a boy doesn't mean that I have to look like a major tornado hit my head. It only had to look like a minor tornado hit my head. After a shower and a hairbrush session. Yes it was a session. Don't judge. I was good to go. Only to find Connor passed out on the couch. I grinned evilly and got a bucket of cold water.

"Connor," I whispered, " Wakey, wakey." Then I dumped the whole thing on his peaceful self.

"HEY!" he screamed, "What was that?"

"We have to get to the Big House," I responded, " Sorry to interrupt the beauty sleep you so direly need."

" You better b- hey," he scowled.

"Move it!" I yelled and I walked out of the cabin taking in the sweet summer air. It smelled of flowers and newbies that needed to be pranked. This quest ruined my summer plans. Can you believe it? Stuck with that goody-two-shoes, annoying daughter of Demeter. And she wondered why I pranked her so much. As I approached the white stately manor that towered over the camp I speculated what pranking equipment I would bring. Yes, I will prank people. A prank deprived Stoll is not a pretty sight. When I finally got to the inside of the big house I headed towards the Ping-Pong area where battles where planned and plopped down plunking my feet on the table.

"Stoll," A voice said, " Get your feet off the table." I turned to see a very pissed off looking Katie.

"Hmm… let me think," I pause, " No!" She just glowered at me. "No need to glare Katie-Kat," I smirked, only five minutes and I was already annoying her this was too easy.

"Travis?"

"Yes Gardner."

"Shut up." She said sweetly a fake smile plastered on her face.

"If you say so… but."

"But what?" she said looking worried her eyes flitting around the room. Ahh she knew me to well.

"Well Katie, dear, your stuck with me and my brother and our pranking equipment for who knows how long. So best be nice. Right?" She glared I smirked.

" Well Travis, dear, your stuck with me for a long time and I could be very well let's say unpredictable. So best be nice. Right?" I glared she smirked.

"And what could you do Gardener?" I said, " You wouldn't do anything to me." I got up and stood face to face with her leaned in and whispered " And you know why. Because you like me." I leaned out and said "Now on to business."

"S-Stoll, SHUT UP!" she exclaimed looking flustered. I do my job well. VERY WELL. Just as I was gloating over my awesome win Conner entered his hair plastered to his face and three backpacks in his hand.

" While you guys where flirting-"

"We where not flirting, Connor" said Katie looking daggers at him.

"Whatever, so before I was so rudely interrupted I was saying that I had gotten backpacks from Chiron and that we where to meet him by Thalia's tree in five minutes."

"Okay so lets go." I said.

"Thank you Captain Obvious." Said Katie

"Your welcome Lieutenant Sarcasm."

"Soo we really should go…" announced Connor.

"Fine." I said. We started to head out when I noticed that I still hadn't gotten my pranking equipment. "Conner, did you grab our stuff" He nodded.

. . . .

The whole way to New York where we would be dropped off Katie ignored me. I was infuriated now the only pleasure that I had this whole trip, annoying her, was gone out the window like that paper airplane that I had just made. What did Chiron give us anyway? I looked inside the backpack to see I had 5 cans of food, a refillable water bottle, 2 changes of clothes and a sweater. Well Chiron had sure been stingy huh?

When we finally got there I finally piped up after my long silence. ME not talking seems kinda crazy but hey I was thinking.

I cleared my throat and said, "so where to now?"

"You did hear the prophecy idiot, we have to go north." Replied Katie

"Where north?"

"Well…" she responded, " The creator could mean Prometheus and he was punished for stealing fire and creating us. In the original Greece he was punished for doing so by being bound in the Caucasus Kazbek Mountain in Georgia. This was northeast of Greece. So I think Maine."

"Thank you for the history lesson Gardner, but how are we going to get to Maine?"

"By renting a car."

"Mmhm." I said, "with what money?"

"With the money Chiron gave us, DUH." I was hurt how he trusted Katie with the money and not me or Connor. But then again I don't really blame him ya know.

"Ok so lets go rent us a car," Connor said brightly.

. . . .

Connor POV:

Being stuck on a quest with Katie Gardener was not my ideal situation. But hey the way those two acted was like a reality TV show from the 90's. Even though I had that this was not going to fun, I mean only a whole week of pranking just Katie. And with all the bickering those two where doing my ears would probably start to bleed.

"Will you two just SHUT UP!" I shouted at them, "Five minutes of peace is all I ask." Just then I hear a wicked laugh.

"Come here children I'm not going to bite." So maybe I won't get five minutes.

AN: so how was it good, bad, awful. I have to admit this chapter was probably not my BEST writing but hey I am literaly just starting a story and finding monsters and a villian was pretty hard. PLEASE review it would mean the world to me. Sorry for the cliffy, but hey it's more fun that way.

-PEACE
