Here's the second half of my short Tratie story; I hope you like it.
Disclaimer:
Travis; say it! Say the disclaimer!
Me: No
Travis: (holds knife to the throat) repeat the oath after me. I, say your name, swear on the river Styx,
Me: I, T, swear on the river Styx,
Travis and Katie (who just arrived): I don't own, Percy Jackson and The Olympians or Heroes of Olympus
Me: I don't own, Percy Jackson and The Olympians or Heroes of Olympus
Tratie: I own none of the characters or the settings etc...
Me: I own none of the characters or the settings etc…
Tratie: I only own the plot, which is completely silly as Travis and Katie hate each other
Me: I only own the plot, but I won't lie so I can't say it. (Runs away)
Katie: Get her!
Katie POV:
Fuck! I stayed here all night with Travis what are people going to say, what am I going to do! I started to hyperventilate, and it must have woken Travis up.
"What's wrong? Katie-Kat" He asked calming me down straight away.
"Everyone else, what are they going to say, neither of us were in our cabins and we'll come out the woods together, someone's going to suspect something." I said barely stopping for breath. I had managed to work myself into a panic.
"Katie, calm d-" He began
"How can I what are they going to say, oh gods what are the Aphrodite cabin going to say?"
Instead of answering, which would have probably have ended with me shouting at him, Travis solved my bad mood by kissing me, immediately forgot all of my worries as he pulled me closer and the quick innocent kiss soon turned into a passionate make-out session. His hand was tangled in my hair and the other hand was around my waist hugging me closer than I thought was possible.
"I love you, Katie." Travis whispered in my ear before starting to kiss my neck.
"I love you too, Travis." I said pulling away from him, "But I want breakfast, so bye!" I stood up and ran to the edge of the forests, but just before I stepped out, I smoothed out my hair from where Travis had run his fingers through it, I tried to calm down so my cheeks would be less tomato coloured, and as I stepped out into the cabin area, I realised I was wearing yesterday's clothes. I hurried into Demeter cabin grabbed some shorts and a camp T-shirt. When I was changed I quickly ran into the bathroom to see if I looked okay.
"Shit!" My hair was still messed up my lips were bright red and swollen, you could tell I'd been kissing someone. I quickly grabbed Daisy's hairbrush and sorted out my hair and when I put it into a pony tail I noticed a mark on my neck from where Travis had been kissing it. I would have to leave my hair down. I left my cabin and went into breakfast, lots of campers were looking at me as I had come in 30 minutes late but I wasn't the last, the Hermes table was missing one of its councillors, Travis still hadn't arrived. I walked over to my cabin not paying any attention to anyone; I was lost in the memories of last night.
"Katie," Daisy whispered urgently, "Where were you yesterday night? You left the cabin at like eleven thirty and didn't come back. Were you with the person who sent you the letter?"
"What?" I registered my name, "Oh, yeah I was with him." I smiled at the memory. "It was great."
"Now who's going all Aphrodite on me?" she giggled in response. She may have kept talking, but I was distracted by Travis coming in from the woods. All eyes in the pavilion turned to look his way, but he was still looking directly at me, I smiled at him and as he smiled back, he walked into a chair. Laughter rippled thought everyone sat there, and I could see everyone in the Aphrodite cabin looking around to see who he was smiling at. Piper caught sight of me smiling at him, and I knew she had guessed something.
Travis POV:
After Katie had so lovingly abandoned me in the wood, I waited ten minutes before leaving to head to the Hermes cabin to pick something I needed for my next prank. I then got to the dining pavilion about forty minutes after Katie had run off. She was sat at her table talking to her sister as if nothing had ever happened but when she saw me walking in, she smiled warmly, I smiled back transfixed by her beauty. I was so distracted that I walked into my chair.
"Hey Travis!" Connor called bringing me back from my Katie induced haze. "Where were you yesterday night? You left the cabin at like eleven thirty and didn't come back. Were you with the person you sent the letter to?"
"Yep!" I grinned. I stuffed my face with fruit and cereal, before excusing myself to go prank someone. It was very nearly time for the third and final prank in the series of Demeter door frame pranks, but it would hopefully have a very different reaction to the first two. Travis wrote out his message on the red paper 200 times and cut them into shapes. He then made a huge banner. All Travis needed was to set it up and brief his accomplice.
He sneaked over to Katie's cabin and set up the bucket over the door, however it wasn't balanced, and it was remote controlled so it would tip over on the press of a button. The button would also release the string holding the huge banner curled up under the porch roof. Once he had set up the prank, he made his way over to Daisy who was standing by the fire in the middle of camp.
"Daisy, you know the prank I told you about? Well it's today. The button's under the banister by the top step into the cabin. Thanks for doing this, anyway, got to run!"
Third Person POV:
Daisy was waiting for Katie, who was panicking; she couldn't find her favourite flip-flops. The rest of the cabin had gone outside to start picking the strawberries so it was only Daisy and Katie left in there. After ten minutes more of looking Daisy found them, well, it would be more accurate to say put them down from hiding them, but oh well. Daisy walked out first and quickly went down the steps, reminding Katie to close the door behind her.
Travis was walking past and as he caught Daisy's eye he knew the prank was about to happen so he went and sat by the fire waiting. Katie walked out her cabin, luckily no mud this time. Daisy pressed the button and walked off the steps, she didn't know the details of the prank only a vague outline.
Katie was closing the door when she heard the familiar creak of a bucket falling over. She prepared to shout STOLL before realising it was actually not mud or anything similar, it was loads of little pieces of paper, all shaped like little red hearts. Each one had written on them in Travis's familiar scrawled handwriting: I LOVE YOU, KATIE GARDENER. She picked up one of the hearts and was about to continue down the steps when a huge red banner unfurled. Written in the same scrawl as the notes were the words: I LOVE YOU, KATIE GARDENER. WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?
Katie didn't know how to respond to this message, but luckily at that moment Travis stepped round the banner to stand next to Katie.
"Yes!" Katie said when she saw Travis, and he beamed in delight.
She kissed him softly but still lovingly,
Daisy wanted to know what was going on so she rolled up the banner, to be greeted by the sight of Travis and Katie stood there kissing. Daisy rolled her eyes then wandered off to the fields.
"So, how'd you get the banner to unfold for me and no one else?" Katie asked, as the two of them walked towards the fields hand in hand.
"A good prankster never tells."
