When I woke up I was in camp again and I was wearing a turquoise and black dress. It had a necklace that wrapped around my neck perfect. Not to tight but not loose. It came down to my collerbone. There was short sleeves and a small train that was black. The front of the dress looked like the necklace then around that it was turquoise. It was pretty, my hair was curled and on my back showing off above my chest well. The scars were gone and I had my memories back! I was sitting on a bench. My shoes were turquoise like my dress and flats. A girl came running, kinda, up to me with another behind her. The girl had brown hair and purple eyes and the girl behind her had red hair and blue eyes. Suddenly I couldn't remember anything except what I had before I was swallowed.
"KATIE!" they screamed. I jumped up.
"Dannie?" I asked. "Katherine?" I asked to the redhead.
"Yes! You look different somehow…" Dannie said. I stood up.
"I was in a um… accident, I lost my memories, then gained some back, I visited you while in a coma…" I told them. They frowned.
"Oh, well come on Chiron wants to talk to you" Katherine said and lead me back to the big house. It was different. More fancy looking. Chiron was on the front porch.
"Katie! A nice surprise!" he exclaimed. I sat down across from him. Katherine and Dannie sat on either sides of him.
"Chiron, apparently she got in an accident and can't remember most things… like what for example?" Dannie said.
"Well, I can't remember my boyfriend, sisters, cousins, life. You know" I said. Chiron frowned. I realized something. If I told him what happened, he knew this was going to happen! He could've stopped this!
"That's not good…" he said.
"Well, it's time for the painting, come on! Katie, do you mind painting it?" Chiron asked me. I told him I'd do it. I went to the portrait and looked at the colors. There was no purple and little blue, like Katherine's eyes! That's why! I started painting and since I'm not very good, Dannie's nose was upturned. After I finished Chiron thanked me and I said my goodbyes to them and concentrated on going back to my apartment. I opened my eyes and I was in the living room where Travis, Mara, Sammy, and I were looking at pictures, the book was still on the floor. I bent down, still in my dress. I stood back up and at the bottom, my name was on there marking I painted it. I went to the kitchen. No one was there.
"Hello?!" I yelled. No one came. I turned the sink on mist and threw a drachma Travis had laying around in.
"Travis Stoll, New York, New York" I chanted. The words flowed out my mouth. Travis's worried face appeared.
"Travis" I said, he payed me no attention. I had an idea. I snapped my fingers really loud.
"HEY! I'M RIGHT HERE!" I yelled at him. He turned to me and jumped.
"Katie, what the hell are you wearing?" he asked. I rolled my eyes. It felt right.
"I went back in time, just come back here and I'll show you something"
"Where are you?"
"The apartment"
"Okay, we're about 20 minutes away from there. We'll be back." I nodded and ran my hand threw the message. I took the other drachma I found and threw it in.
"Chiron, camp half blood, New York" it showed Chiron's face.
"Chiron!" I said angry. He looked at me, then my outfit, he frowned just like he did in the 1800s.
"Katie, you went back in time again?" he asked me. I nodded. He sighed.
"Why didn't you tell me! You could have prevented it!" I ranted on for like 10 minutes.
"Child! I couldn't change the events in the future… Percy! Annabeth! I know your snooping!" he yelled. They came out and next to him, looking at me.
"You go back in time?!" Percy said, amazed. I glared at him.
"Now is not the time!" I yelled.
"Worst of all, I had to paint and you should've gotten more colors so I could get the eyes right!" I complained.
"Sorry, but we didn't want anyone out of the picture, I still have it, outside the house. Your name's on it, no one ever noticed though, much to our luck…" he said.
"Chiron! Travis feels like it's his fault! But I know it was fate and you had something to do with it!" I said pissed and glaring at the old centar.
"I couldn't change the future! Dannie and Katherine started asking me questions after you left, then demanding I help you and it wasn't in the budget to get expensive colors" he explained. I sighed and put my hand threw the message. Travis was standing in the doorway.
"How much did you hear?" I asked.
"Most of it, when you finished your rant" He smirked. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Fine, yes I go back in time and have friends from the 1800s, I painted that picture in there, if you look hard enough, you can see my name at the bottom, since I'm not a good painter, apparently, I made some of their faces a little different." I admitted. Mara came in with Sammy in her arms.
"Awesome!" She exclaimed. "Do you know how many people asked me if Sammy was my child? All of them, I had to explain to everyone that this was my little sister and Travis was our cousin" she told us. Sammy had the same eyes as Mara, but the same chocolate hair as Travis. It got so annoying with people looking at me like that, I'm like 'I'm 15 and she's 6, I wasn't even able to have a baby then!' I almost killed them." Mara was ranting a lot.
"Okay clam down" Travis was saying, he grabbed her wrists when she tried to slap him. He looked at her in the eye. "Mara, she doesn't care" She rolled her eyes.
"I know that! Just let me rant!" she continued complaining. Travis sighed. I realized something about him. He was very patient with everyone. I liked that. I smiled at him. He smiled kindly back at me.
After the day went on, Mara fell asleep on the couch and Sammy was in my bed. I had no where to sleep and Travis was laughing at me.
"Where am I supposed to sleep?" I asked him. He stopped laughing.
"You could always sleep with me" he said in a shy voice. I looked up at him. I looked around.
"I guess there's no other option, Sammy sleeps restlessly, I'd never get any sleep" I informed him. He smiled small. I went to my bedroom first and pulled the covers over Sammy and went to Travis's room. He was awake and looking at something, it looked like a book. I hoped next to him, far away, on the edge of the bed. I soon fell asleep and was sitting in a chair in a small room, it was like a place in therapy, but it looked like I was going to help the person with the problem. A pretty lady with kind ice blue eyes and dark brown hair, that looked black, but in the light it was dark brown.
"Aphrodite?" I asked.
"So, there's two guys I have to choose from and they're beautiful! Oh my gods! So hot! One is Chris Pine, a mortal in the business, so hot! Anyway the other is Justin Bieber, both cute I don't find Justin attractive, it's just Aph talking who should I choose?" She asked. "Oh hey Katie! Nice to see that your returning to help me!" she said. I raised a eyebrow, I did this a lot?
"Did I do this a lot?" I asked.
"Whenever you don't have demigod dreams, sometimes I give you a break, but I talk a lot with you, I'm you patron" she told me.
"Oh, so you have two guys around your finger? Chris Pine and Justin Bieber? Well who do you like more? Personality wise?" I asked her.
"Chris" she responded.
"Who do you like more attractive wise?" I asked her, I thought that only she would base someone on how pretty they are.
"Chris" she said again.
"Then why is so hard to choose?" I asked her.
"Because… I…. Don't know, thanks Katie!" she squealed and gave me a huge hug.
"Now! Katie! Try and remember him!" he yelled at me. I had no idea why. But I got angry and yelled back.
"I CAN'T I TRIED!"
"TRY HARDER!"
"I HAVE!"
"NO! YOU HAVEN'T!"
"YES I HAVE!"
"TRY HARDER DAMNIT"
"I HAVE"
"KATIE! HE LOVES YOU AND YOU LOVE HIM! YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER HIM, I TRIED FOR HIM TO MAKE YOU REMEMBER BUT I COULDN'T DO IT, THE FATES ARE TRICKY, DAMN! REMEMBER HIM!"
"I'VE HAD SMALL MEMORIES! NOT ENOUGH TO LOVE HIM, I CAN'T LOVE SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW!"
"YOU DO!"
"I DON'T! OKAY?! I DON'T LOVE HIM!"
"YOU DO!''
"NO I DON'T"
"SAY IT!"
"DON'T CHARMSPEACK ME APH!"
"DO IT"
"I CAN'T IF I DON'T LOVE HIM!"
"YOU DO!"
"NO I DON'T!"
"YES YOU DO! SAY IT!"
"NO, I CAN'T LOVE HIM, I DON'T KNOW HIM"
"THEN WHY ARE YOU IN THE SAME BED AS HIM"
"Because…" I said.
"YOU LOVE HIM AND YOU KNOW IT, YOU CAN'T ADMIT THAT YOU LOVE HIM, YOUR BODY LOVES HIM BUT YOUR BRAIN WAS DAMAGED SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING!" Aph screamed at me at the top of her lungs.
"APH… I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING IMPORTANT, I DON'T LOVE HIM!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"YOUR GOING TO LOVE HIM AND YOU KNOW YOU DO, YOU JUST CAN'T ADMIT IT! LIKE I SAID!"
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY! I. DON'T. LOVE HIM." I screamed so loud that it shattered the window next to us.
"That's the Katie I know, always fighting back" Aph got up and gave me a hug. "I'll send you back now" she whispered and I woke up.
I felt arms around my waist, they were soft but felt normal around my body. They were strong and felt like they would never let me go and protect me. I spun myself around and I was facing a mans six pack, I looked up and found curly brown hair. Travis's eyes were closed. I looked around and saw that Mara was standing in the doorframe, it looked like she just got there. She smirked and walked over to me and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Nice, I didn't know you guys slept together" she whispered.
"You took the couch and Sammy had my bed, I was on the edge of the bed and Travis was on the edge of the other side" I whispered back. She nodded and walked over to Where Travis was and hoped on the bed, she leaned down to his ear.
"TRAVIS WAKE UP, KATIE'S TO KIND TO ASK YOU TO LET GO!" She screamed in his ear. He shoot up and pointed a sword at her face. She rolled her eyes and turned invisible, somehow. Then I remember that she has special powers, suddenly the sword in his hand was taken from him by a hand that came back and she pointed it at his neck along with a bunch of knives, she used every finger and had ten pointed at him, she was using her feet for the sword. She removed the force field around her.
"Remember, I can read your mind, fly, create force fields, teleport, and shapeshift into anyone, I can also mimic their voice, Zeus just gave me that one, I do lots of quests" She told the last part to me. I nodded. She was like Super woman or something.
"Super Woman?" she asked me.
"Don't do that" I said. She smirked.
"Huh?" Travis said. I was on my elbows. My stomach was facing up. Travis was sitting next to me criss cross. Mara was on the floor now, after Travis flipped her. She got up and sat back on the bed, in a swift movement, she punched him in the stomach hard enough to make him double over and fall of the bed.
"SHIT!" he yelled. I laughed along with my cousin. She helped him up and then we all sat on the bed laughing. We started telling stories to help me.
"So this one time, Mara got so mad that she made the whole field into ashes, she protected the nature and us, but we were in a whole electric current for a few minutes, afterwards she looked just like Thalia, she probably morphed into her or something, having her abilities, did she tell you that she's also super agile? She walks up behind peoples backs, even when it's so quiet, a pin could drop and no one could hear it, and then yell into their ear and make them scared to death, once she made Percy stick a sword in her thigh, while she still had the sword in her leg, she flipped Percy and sent a bolt down his back, he passed out, you're the weirdest cousins…" Travis said. I laughed and Mara was blushing.
"So another time, Travis planted a bunch of choc-" Mara was cut off by Travis putting a hand over her mouth. She then concentrated on me and sent me the rest through my head.
"You placed chocolate bunnies on my cabin?!" I screamed. He nodded.
"You just had to finish" Travis sighed.
"Yep" Mara popped the 'p'.
