Hey People,

OMG, I am so sorry that I have not updated in forever, I had a major writer's block until last night, especially working on Travis' part, and how he is affected by Alyssa's return. Really random considering that Travis' POV, is not in this story, but sometimes, I work on his part because it comes to me naturally. I was also not home, so I had no way to see my story, and what I had written. Oh, and since no one voted on my poll, I had no way of knowing who was going to win the bet, but whatever, I am decided now. You will see, I also decided that I will do two POV's at the same time, which may mean that I am updating every other day, or every day, depending on the plot line.

To Huntress4455 I know I said I would add your character last chapter, but she will be introduced in this chapter. Just saying, but she will have a major role in future chapters. On to the story.

Alyssa's POV

I was sure that I heard crying, but as soon as I heard it, the noise stopped. I kept poking around in the trees, until I found the source, which happened to be a girl. She was trying to make herself stop, but by the way it sounded, she was too upset to stop. I looked at Alex, and nodded. He seemed to understand as he smirked, and walked to the edge of the forest.

"Hey, my name is Alyssa, what is your name?" I ask the crying girl. She looks up, obviously shocked that I decided to say anything.

"M-my n-n-name is-s m-Mary, and-d I-I-I am d-daughter of a-Athena." She said, choking on her words. I wonder what happened.

"Mind telling me what happened Mary?" I asked her as I took a seat next to her on the log that she was sitting on. She shook her head, and got up, that's when I noticed how long her black hair was, it was down to her waist. She looked like an athlete, and she was kind of tall too.

"Thanks for your concern," She said, once her tears were gone. I think, that she will be a good friend to have."I appreciate it, maybe, when I am ready, I will tell you what happened." With that being said she left.

I sighed, and I got up. I had looked everywhere for Travis, and still no sign of him. I do not want my first kiss to happen this way, but I need to find him. I need to know what happened after he disappeared, and where he went. I emerged from the woods to see an overly joyed Alex. I groaned. "Lead me on to Travis, Alex." I say

"Don't worry, Alyssa, I know exactly where to find him." He says, and I know that he is making fun of me. Jerk! He leads me through the forest, and to clearing. I see a table, and Travis and his girlfriend talking.

"Travis." I cried, "I missed you so much." He looked up at me, and I can see in his eyes that he missed me too, he runs up to me, and gives me a huge hug, and spins me around. I start laughing, and crying, so happy that I found him at last.

"Hey, Alyssa, I thought that I would never see you again, I though that you were dead. I thought that it was my fault that you died." He says, and I have to agree, from what my dad had told me, the paramedics had made it quite clear that I was most likely not going to make it. I had died, and they also had restarted my heart, I was quite fortunate that someone had called 911 immediately. "Katie, come here, meet my sister from another mister."

"Hey I am Alyssa, and I think you have known my brother from another mother for a while already. Nice to meet you Katie." I say politely, the way that my father taught me when I was very young. I look at Katie, and I see in her eyes that she thinks that I will be a threat for her and Travis, that maybe we might have a love affair. I inwardly laugh, knowing that my relationship with Travis is strictly platonic, and we would never be in love. I also already know not to even think about going out with a guy that has a girlfriend unless you want the name Slut plastered to you your back, I know it happened to an unpopular senior at my former school.

Katie, opens her mouth to say something to me, when the dinner bell rings, she closes her mouth thinking better of what she was going to say, and we all head to the tables. Alex gives me a meaningful look, and I whisper "Which is better, now or during dinner."

"Dinner, definitely dinner." He says with a smile, "And since we will kiss later on, might as well hold hands into camp right?"

"Right." I say, as his hand grabs my small one. I smile to myself, his hand fits perfectly into mine, and I think we make a very cute couple. Or would since we are not dating, but who am I kidding, I have only known this guy for 12 hours, now is not the time to even think about making a move on him. We walk in, and I can hear the whole Aphrodite cabin sigh, glare, and look pleased that we walk in holding hands...

I turn to Alex, "Come here." I lean in turning my face up to meet his, as he brings his arm around my waist to pull me in closer. I drop his hand, and put my arms around his neck, as we close the space between us. Suddenly, my heart is beating so fast, I can't help it, his kiss is so intoxicating. I want more. WAIT, no I can not let him have the satisfaction, I have been distracted, but I put a timer on my watch right before we kissed, it beeps, and I pull away and smirk at him. He smirks back, and we go and get our dinner.

Alex's POV

I stare into her lovely eyes, and we start a staring contest, unfortunately for me Will cleared his throat, telling us not very subtly, I might add, that he wanted to speak. "Yes, Will," I say trying to place as much venom as I can into my tone.

"Sorry, but I have to ask her some questions." Will says. "What is your name?"

"My name is Alyssa."

"How old are you?"

"13 going on to 14 on August 3."

"Who would be your godly parent?"

"My mother."

"Okay, that's all the questions that I have for you. You are free to go, I will have Alex show you to your cabin where you will be staying until your mother decides to claim you." Will says. Until I heard my name I had not been paying attention to what they were saying, or not caring that much after I learned her name, and how old she was. That was good for me because she was my age.

"Hey, hey Alyssa, there is no need to be shy, I am a good, nice gentlemen, okay? Chillax." I say, I just lost my swag by saying chillax, why, that is the stupidest word ever.

"You know I should so..." Alyssa says. I wonder if it was something that I did or said. I guess I will never know because she got cut off by the door swinging open revealing Travis, and his girlfriend Katie. He looks up, and into Alyssa's eyes. He gasps and runs out of the room. Right after he leaves I hear Alyssa sobbing. What the hell was that all about?

Katie looks really nervous, and scared. Her boyfriend has never once bolted from a room, so I can't blame her. "I should probably... I should go after him, make sure he is okay." Katie says, I can sense that she wants to stay and hear what the girl has to say, but Travis is her priority. I see from the corner of my eye Alyssa nod, and Katie, slowly backs out of the room as if a sudden movement will get her hurt. I turn to face Alyssa, I scrunch my brows together, and give her a look. She looks away to Will, and purposely ignores me.

"Alyssa, what was that all about?" I ask, no response. It must be really bad if she won't tell me anything. Not that I expected her, especially since I just met her, and she has no idea if she can trust me, but I just thought for a moment that my good looks would be enough to get it out of her... I am too cocky.

"Will am I safe to leave the hospital, or medical center, where ever I am with out someone to help me?" Alyssa says. I can not stand it, I will just follow her where ever she goes. I have very quiet footsteps so it is doubtful that she will know that I am following her. I have made up my mind, missed what Will said, and I see her stand up. She looks really shaky, but like she is just going to walk it off because she doesn't want attention. Oh, I know her type, she's the kind that like to be independent but really need the help, kind of like Katie, don't tell her I said anything though because she will kill me if she finds out that I think of her like that.

She leaves, the door swinging behind her, and I follow, as the door is swinging, so she wont be able to hear me. After she is down the stairs, and starting to walk she turns around and says, "I caught you red-handed." I blush. "What are you doing following me?"

"Alyssa, I just wanted to make sure that you are okay, and I am pretty sure that you would not be able to find Travis because lets face it, I know him better than you." I say. Why, just to anger her, because that is what us sons of Hermes do, we annoy the shit out of people. I can literally see the steam coming out of Alyssa. I have her mad.

"Oh yeah? I bet I can find him with out your help. Alexander." She just called me Alexander, my full name that is so horrible, I hate it. Now I am pissed, but then she made a bet with me.

"Oh, so loser gets to do what?" I have an idea, pretty devious, but if I want her to fall in love with me it is the only way. "If you lose, you have to give me a kiss on the lips, for at least a minute."

"And if I win, I get to have you be my slave for a day, and why at least a minute?" I grin, I knew it, typical girl move. Having a slave. I know only girls, would but whatever. I know she will need my place, especially since Travis has changed so much since being with Katie. He grew emotions, and he stopped pranking so much. If I remember correctly he would be in that meadow where he had his first date with Katie... I know so cheesy.

"Because I am an amazing kisser." I say, to answer her question, I have an amazing mind because I can multitask.

We head out, she goes to the beach, the horse stalls, where she gets very mad at Jamie. Jamie, it turns out thinks that she would be a cool friend just because of her attitude and how she was not afraid to speak her mind. I liked that too that she spoke up for herself when she was being ignored. Then she goes to the camp store, then she looks everywhere else but the woods, which is where he is hidden. I saw so many people, and I stopped to talk to many of them, just to annoy her. I know how to get under people's skin. We are at the edge of the woods, when she hears something. I don't hear anything, so I just go along with her. She goes in and she finds Mary, crying. Woah, Mary is crying, she is usually such a strong girl. Alyssa nods at me from the log, where she is trying to comfort Mary. I smirk, and head to the edge of the forest to wait for her. She emerges a few minutes later, and says, "Lead me on to Travis, Alex."

That was all to easy. "Don't worry, Alyssa, I know exactly where to find him." I say. I lead her to the meadow, where I find Travis and Katie sitting on the table talking.

"Travis! I missed you so much." Alyssa cries. Travis looks up, and so does Katie, but she does not look very happy to see her. He jumps off the table, and gives her a hug. Then he starts spinning her around. She starts laughing, obviously happy that she found him.

"Hey, Alyssa, I thought that I would never see you again, I though that you were dead. I thought that it was my fault that you died." Travis says, ""Katie, come here, meet my sister from another mister." That made me feel so much better, I thought that they had a relationship where they went out or something, but from Katie's expression she didn't trust them.

As she walked up I whispered, "Don't worry, about them, Travis is in too much love with you to see another girl the way he sees you."

"Hey I am Alyssa, and I think you have known my brother from another mother for a while already. Nice to meet you Katie." Alyssa says, she and Travis are still hugging, and spinning, but they have slowed down considerably. Katie opens her mouth to say something but the dinner bell rings. Travis lets go of Alyssa, and he grabs Katie's hand and they walk out to dinner. I walk up to Alyssa, and match her pace. I look at her and give her a meaningful look. "Which is better now, or during dinner?"

"Dinner, definitely dinner." I say, and I can't help the grin that comes to my face. I am embarrassed to say this but I feel as though I have to, just to get our relationship to progress. ""And since we will kiss later on, might as well hold hands into camp right?"

"Right." I barely hear her say. I grab her hand, she has really small hands. We walk in and the whole Aphrodite cabin sighs at the thought of a new couple. "Come, here." Alyssa says.

She leans her face up to me. I put my free arm around her waist, and pull her in closer to me. Alyssa lets for of my head and puts her arms around my neck. I sigh, and I close my eyes as I close the distance between us. Her lips are so soft, and she tastes like cookie dough, and coffee. Mmmm, I hear a beep, and she pulls away from me and smirks. I smirk back, and we go and get our dinner.

So what did you think I had a fun time writing this chapter, and to be honest, I think Travis, and Katie's Chapter can be up later on today, if I get five reviews. I am not asking much... please for me... Oh, and I have polyvore, and if you would like to see Katie's outfit from her first date with Travis, I will have it up to see just copy and paste this link in your browser ( my_life_as_demigod/set?id=52390438). Yeah, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Just to let you know I will not get them together. I STILL HAVE ONE MORE CHARATER SPOT OPEN. PLEASE, MAKE ME SO HAPPY AND SUBMIT A CHARACTER. Review.

Love,

Hope
