From Twin Fangirls To Demigods?

Chapter 8

Travis Stoll and The Girl In Cabin 3

Ashley's POV:

I sat there, utterly confused and choking back bitter sobs. Selena stomped out of the room, and I didn't follow her. We had our own ways of coping when things went wrong, and hers was getting out of the situation as fast as she could. Mine? I held onto the situation longer than I needed to, but eventually let it go.

The only thing running through my head was that I had just seen my dad get kidnapped—or dad-napped―by some crazy blonde guy who actually was kind of cute for like the first five seconds that I'd met him, then his craziness shone through his adorable blue eyes, and he was immediately an enemy.

No, I don't have a crush on the guy. He's just … good-looking, and not to mention crazy.

I stood up and paced back and forth. I stopped, grabbing a book from my bunk and leafing through it. It was one of my favorites, The Hunger Games, one that I'd read and given to my dad to read. He'd finished it only a week ago. Why couldn't we rewind time and go back to that? Sure, having Percy as a brother was awesome, but being mixed up in this stuff wasn't what I'd hoped for.

My 'real' dad had been Henry, and he was gone, now. My birth father is the god of the sea and horses along with other cool stuff and I had no clue who my actual mom was. I found a piece of paper and a pen, and began to write a list like Katniss had in the story, starting with the simple details to the bigger ones.

My name is Ashley Jameson.

I am the twin sister of Selena Jameson.

As of a few hours ago, I'd met Percy Jackson.

An ice giant had attacked Selena and me.

I had been claimed by my birth father, Poseidon.

A blonde guy had attacked me, also, informing me on how I was in his boss's plan.

My mortal father (or adoptive father) was just kidnapped by the same blonde guy, before my sea-green eyes.

Selena had left the room.

I am officially alone.

After writing the last part, I heard someone knock on the door. I wrote underneath my last sentence:

Not entirely alone.

I turned on my heel, opening the door to meet the confused face of Travis Stoll, son of Hermes. His worried blue eyes stared down at me, as he said, "I saw your sister run off. What happened?"

I took in his features up close. His curly brown hair rolled under his ears, dipping into his shining blue eyes. He had elfish features, just like the book said, but if you looked closely, you saw different things than the description. A faint spray of freckles was over his narrow nose and cheeks, his eyes twinkling but not like he thought something was funny or if he was thinking about all of the change jingling in your pockets. Since he's confused, his forehead wrinkles up and his eyebrows furrow.

"I…" My voice flattered, and I suddenly felt like I was going to cry again.

"Hey. Whoa. Don't cry," Travis began to panic, slowly pulling me into the cabin and setting me down on one of the bunks.

"Just… slowly tell me what happened," Travis said, as he tried calming me down.

Between all of my gasps and sobs, I somehow got everything out. He held me close, whispering into my ears, soothing me. "You're alright," He murmured into my hair, "It's okay."

I slowly unwrapped myself and looked at him with my puffy green eyes. Angry tears streaked down my cheeks relentlessly. "You're… Travis Stoll, right?"

He nodded, wiping a tear off my face. "Yeah. And, you're Ashley Jameson? You caused a pretty big commotion out there a while ago."

I shrugged. "Yeah, about that… was it supposed to happen?"

Travis shrugged. "The boundaries aren't as strong as they used to be since…" His voice flattered, as his eyes narrowed, "Since… one of my half-brothers jacked it up."

I thought of Luke, his brother who'd betrayed the camp to serve the Titan Lord. I'd actually loved him in the story and cried my eyes out when he'd died, but I didn't think I should mention it… Especially since Travis still seemed to be pissed about it.

"So… That guy who came in… Do you know who he was?" I asked slowly.

Travis shrugged again. "I don't know. He seemed to know you, though."

"Yeah. I guess," I said, suddenly taking an interest in the satiny green bedding on the bunk I was sitting on.

Travis stared at me. "Are you okay now?"

It was my turn to shrug. "Sort of."

Travis thought a bit, and then asked, "Do you want me to show you around?"

"Sure," I said, standing up and wiping the wet streaks from my face.

We both walked out, as he began to show me around. He showed me each cabin (even the minor ones), the dining pavilion, the bathrooms, the camp store, the borderline, the forest, the dock and finally the stables. He led me in, and I saw a sleek black horse—Blackjack.

Hey, a mini boss! What's up? Blackjack asked in my mind.

"Holy crap!" I squealed. "You—You're Blackjack!" I was practically jumping in joy.

Travis glanced at me weirdly. "It's just a horse, Ashley. Chill."

Oh, no you did not just downgrade me to 'horse', Blackjack huffed in outrage. If I weren't in this stall, you'd have a hoof-print on your face!

I turned to Travis after Blackjack started to whinny some colorful language—even for a Pegasus. "Travis, you got him mad."

"Oh, really?" He asked, giving Blackjack a pointed look. "I speak Horse, you know. I should make you wash your mouth out with soap."

Blackjack huffed again at the horse comment, so I said my good-byes to the other Pegasus, and then dragged Travis out of the stables.

"Did you actually know how to speak horse?" I asked him after we walked away.

He grinned, wiggling his eyebrows. "It's called lying, Ashley. You're sister does it all the time. Have you ever lied in your life?"

"Well… yeah," I said, thinking about the sister remark. I'd ask him later. He raised an eyebrow, shaking his head.

"I'll give you lessons. Connor and I are always looking for liars apprentices," Travis said, causing him to earn a punch in the arm.

He rubbed his forearm. "Jeez. Anger issues?"

"Says the guy who just got into a fight with a Pegasus," I rolled my eyes.

"Horse," He quipped.

He led me back to my cabin. "Want to do this again tomorrow?" He asked before I walked up the stairs.

"Sure," I told him, smiling. "I'd love to."

Travis stood there, thinking for a second. "Wait, are you lying?"

I shrugged, smiling. "Guess you'll have to figure that out on your own."

He stood there, dumbfounded, as I opened the door. He gave me a grin before I closed the door, "You're learning already! There's hope for you yet!"

I laughed, closing the door behind me. I looked over the room, landing on the form of a girl a little bit older than me. Her black hair slid down her back, her green eyes transfixed on a pile of the Percy Jackson books that we'd brought along.

"Um, hello?" I asked, causing her head to jerk up. "What are you doing in my cabin?"

"I'd like to ask you the same thing," She growled, bitterness dripping from her words.

I stared at her. "Who are you?"

"Marí Jackson. And, I know who you are. Ashley Jameson, another one of daddy's kids, along with your twin sister," She rolled her eyes, standing up, causing the chair she was sitting in, to screech across the floor.

I stood there, staring at her. "So… you're Poseidon's daughter, too?"

"Well doyy! The world doesn't revolve around just you, sweetheart," Marí told me,

"No, it revolves around Apollo…" I started to say.

"Oh, don't give him a bigger ego! It was a figure of speech smart-ass!" Marí told me, throwing her arms into the air.

Selena walked back into the cabin and froze at the sight of the other girl.

"W-who are you?" she asked nervously. By the glare my twin was receiving from our older half-sister, I guess it was reasonable.

"Sugar, I know who you are, but because of thee crappy books, nobody knows who I am. But I guess it's okay considering I told Riordan not to mention me. But to think Percy would get all the glory when I was a big part of it too. I mean, if I would have known I would have told Riordan to include me. I think I should get some credit considering I'm Percy's younger twin sister!"
