Chapter 2: Katie

A/N: Ok so here chapter 2! Kind of fluffy I guess and every time I read this chapter my back hurts. You'll find out why.

We were on are way to the mess hall, Travis was telling me about how he fed sugar cubes to the Pegasus this morning when IT walked up to us.

"Listen Katie, Please can we talk?"

"I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to talk to you" Travis said while stepping in between us.

"Well who are you to say she can't huh? Mr. I'm cool 'because I steel?" Eric shot back and shoved Travis. Now he just crossed the line.

"Don't touch me and leave Katie alone!"

"No."He pushed Travis, causing Travis to fall. Then he came to me and kissed me! I tried to push his away but couldn't. So I did the one thing that came to mind. I bit his lip so hard it started to bleed. Then he slapped me! I cried out in pain. His finger nails had cut me from the middle of my cheek to the edge of my lip. I looked up and saw Eric on the floor and Travis on top of him beating the crap out of him. My Scream must have been loud because people from the pavilion are coming. I didn't want Travis to get hurt or in trouble so I needed to get his attention but how... I got it!

"Ow Travis!" Sadly, it worked.

"Katie what's wrong?"

"Nothing I just didn't wa- Travis look out!" but it was too late. Eric had gotten up and stabbed Travis in the back!

By now everyone was here. Clarisse and Chris held Eric back and Percy and Conner took Travis to the infirmary with me at their heels.

They wouldn't let me in his room in till they got him stable. Was I mad? HADES YES! He got hurt because of me. ME!

So here I am, drinking some nectar, telling Chiron and Mr.D what happen. They won't punish Travis. Thank gods. I didn't cry when I told the story. I felt the tears but I didn't want to cry. When I saw him, I lost it. He looks like he was in a lot of pain I just let the tears fall. He opens his arms and I walked in to them mumbling sorry. But he just laughs. Laugh!

"Why are you crying?"

"Because you're apologizing for something you didn't do"

"But it's my fault you got hurt"

"Kati Kat," I smiled at my nickname. "I would take a knife for you any day" I hugged him tighter but made sure not to hurt him.

"Back at cha" Just then, Conner came in. Poor Conner, it looks like he's been crying.

Travis's POV

Conner came in and he looked like a mess.

"I'll leave you two alone" Katie got up, gave me an other hug, patted Conner on the shoulder and left.

"Are you ok?" I asked

"Travis, you got... got... s-stabbed"

"Conner,"

"Don't, Travis, when you didn't show up for dinner. I thought you were running late or something, but when I heard Katie scream. I can't lose you Travis! We already lost mom, I am NOT losing you." Conner and I didn't get along with are mothers but when that monster attack...

"I'm sorry man, but I'm ok so let's just move on. Please?"

"Ok" their was a silence but was soon broken by Conner. "So... you and Katie?"

"Shut up..."

"You should ask her out if you like her. I'm ok with it" He smirked and said, with the worse God father voice "I give you my blessing" I couldn't help but laugh

"Thanks Conner, I needed that"

"No problem. I should go, Ill tell cabin not to freak and that you're ok"

"Thanks and tell them Will said I should be good be good in 3 days"

"Kay bye, goodnight"

"Goodnight"

Katie's POV

When I left Travis's room I went strait to my cabin to change. I ignored all the stares and calls from the other campers. I just didn't want to talk about it.

I changed into my pjs (green pants with flowers on them and a college t-shirt I got at a field trip) (A/N those are my pjs!) grabbed my blanket and went back to check on Travis.

On my way their. Conner came up to me.

"Katie?"

"Yeah"

"I thought you should know that. He likes you. A lot." And walked way, I wouldn't have taken him seriously but his face was serious. He was telling the true no doubt. All I could think of was that Travis likes me, and I like him.
