Disclaimer: I don't own a single thing.

Travis's P.O.V

"I can't believe you," I heard a whisper. I opened my eyes and saw Connor in the mirror. I stood up and faced him a bit wobbly, "you were this close to redemption, but you ruined it." he explained.

I smiled a bit evilly, "I won't go back anywhere until I get revenge on who murdered you then I'll turn myself in and just rot in jail just like the sick scum I am." I replied sounding more like a psychopath.

"I can't believe we are blood brothers. I am nothing like you," He growled while having himself standing right in the mirror.

"Face it," I smirked while placing a hand on the mirror to the side of his face, "we are just each others reflection, now get lost." I told him before turning around and walking to the bathroom.

I turned on the water to extremely hot to relieve my stiff muscles. Nico and Annabeth left for home last night while I tried studying. They don't know me still, but oh well I need it to stay like that.

I undressed while still looking at the mirror. All I could see I the eyes of Soul Stealer and nothing else. Am I truly turning back into him after these months?

"What is going on?" I whispered stepping into the hot shower and relaxing my tense body. I was finally going to school after one whole week.

"Nothing will come between us!" A sentence echoed through my head. I tilted my head up so I can look at the ceiling with dead eyes, "Travis and Connor are my best friends!"

"Why are you always in my head, Gardner?" I whispered dipping my head back so the water would hit my hair.

Once my shower was over I stepped out of the shower and dried myself. I pulled on my uniform not caring for the word in what I was doing, I walked over to the sink and put some cologne on.

"You know you want to let me out. I'm your alter ego and you're craving for the oh so delicious red liquid that stays inside the human body." I heard a demon like voice talk to me. I looked at myself and almost saw another me, but almost like Soul Stealer.

"No I don't." I stated.

"Stop lying to yourself," He said with an evil smirk and something appeared in his hand, "this red liquid is your steroids in life. You're a junkie and you'll always be one!"

"Stay out of my head!" I shouted glaring at him.

"I can't," He replied while shifting forms and turning into my reflection, "cause I'm you."

I ran out of the bathroom feeling sick in my smell and my own reflection. Maybe blood is my way to live in this world. Sure, I didn't enjoy it at first, but now I can't get enough of it.

I put on my shoes and jacket along with my bag. I'm not safe in this house at all! I need a place to relax and be able to think out all these issues in my life.

I ran out of my apartment building closing the door shut and tight while running to the stairs. I couldn't take all this insanity ready to break me.

I got out of the building and just ran for the school.

"Why now that my sanity is breaking?" I told myself while recalling Nico and Annabeth reopening all my buried items. Those items are cursed to me, but yet I enjoy it.

"Travis!" Someone exclaimed. I turned my head while running and saw one of my close care takers, Mrs. Aphrodite. Sure she is a bit of an air head, but she took care of me.

I waved while not paying attention and ran into a street light post. "There goes my brain. I muttered falling back. Mrs. Aphrodite saw and ran towards me.

"Oh my gods! I am so sorry Travis!" She apologized while helping me up. I felt a bit wobbly, but from pass experience with things thrown at me I think I would live.

I looked at Mrs. Aphrodite. She is a model and I have no clue why she lives in a dump here, maybe he air head side made her? Yes, Mrs. Aphrodite is a gorgeous women and many kids, no matter what age, accent, or even gender!, hits on her.

"Its alright Aphrodite." I smiled while holding my head. She held my hand and I kinda blushed at the contact.

"Are you sure! You hit the pole really hard!" She complained while holding my hand still.

"Yes I am sure," I laughed while smiling a less painful smile, "see? I'm not bleeding at least and plus you should really go cause that limo is right there."

"Fine but," she said giving me one of her many phones, "I'll call you at your lunch break to see if your doing well and if you aren't then I will blow off my photo shoot and take you to Mr. Apollo for a check up." Aphrodite said in a demanding voice.

I groaned, "Whyy!" I exclaimed while stomping my foot, "Mr. Apollo is annoying when he does check ups. He says all these poems and sings even!"

"No complains!" Aphrodite said in a pout.

"Fine," I sighed, "but you have to buy me a new prankster magazine if I'm going to see the most annoying doctor in all of mankind."

"Deal." She said giving me a peck on the cheek before going off to her limo.

I rolled m eyes knowing that I probably had a lipstick marking on my cheek, but oh well what can I do when Aphrodite gives kisses? I sighed before running to school.

I ran up the stairs to school and entered the building. Some early students, earlier then me, gasp at my presence. I waved t them before sprinting down the hall and into my homeroom.

"Travis!" Percy exclaimed running over to me with a smile, "you actually came today! I can't believe it!" he laughed.

"Yea," I replied waving it off, "I was sick the whole week I apologize."

"Oh don't worry about it, but you should of seen Katie," Percy informed me. I looked at him with a puzzled look while setting my bag down in my seat, "she was barking at everyone and she looked like she was losing it without you here."

"What?" I said in disbelief.

Katie came in through the door with a slam. It was the door from from me and when she cam in she had this disgust look, but when she looked where I was, it all changed. "Travis!"

She ran t me and hugged me in a bone crushing hug. I hugged back laughing, "Sorry that I haven't shown up for a week."

"Its no problem," She replied while still holding me. It felt like forever and many kids started coming in, "just tell me...was Connor actually there on that day?"

Time froze and I felt like I was by myself. My body trembled and I could feel Connor and Soul Stealer appearing in front of me, "Well?" They asked.

Reality came back at me and thats when the bell rang. I smiled at her before taking my seat, "Later." I whispered while she took her seat.

Chiron came into homeroom and jus like always he turned on the television. I leaned back watching the weather news.

"It is going to be mild today with a chance of a heat wave coming in all of a sudden," The weather person broadcast while listening in to the others. I blocked out the people.

"Ah that is enough television for the day." Chiron murmured before something happened to the weather broadcast.

"Breaking News! S.S is back!" My eyes widen at the announcement. I put my seat back on the ground and listened in closely, "We just got informed by head police, Skylar Grace, that they had found a dead women in a alley chopped up signature S.S style along with a message."

"I'm back. Lets have a little funny now, puppy dogs. You think you get the rest? Haha you wish because this lone wolf is back and ready to take many lives. -S.S"

"What!" I shouted jumping out of seat in rage and surprise.
