I'm sorry I didn't update quickly...

Replys to reviews:

annabeth the wise girl: No I haven't...yet. The book, apparently, is in big demand and I have to wait till about next thursday for it to come... I'm crossing my fingers that it would come quickly.

daughter of sea and wisdom: Thanks for the compliment! That was just the compliment I was longing to hear!

Anyone read the Mark of Athena? I still have to wait a long, long time till it comes... *sigh*. I read some oneshots about them... It sounds pretty good.
Can anyone tell me what exactly the mark of athena is?

Enjoy!

[Travis's POV]

Uh-oh. Aphrodite's calling me, and it's never good.

I walked into her room, and she handed me a letter. It had a pair of winged shoes on the paper.

A letter from Hermes.

I stared at Aphrodite. She looked at me with a look that read "Aren't you going to open it and read it? Duh?"

So I did.

Dear Travis, (and Conner)

it read,

Some monsters are attacking Camp Half-Blood and I wish you and your brother would go help them, since you are immortal, at least until you find your soul mate. I would be most proud of you if you help.

Here's my chance to prove myself to dad, I thought, and I gathered Conner, our supplies and weapons, and we headed to Camp Half-Blood immediately.

(But I did wonder, why me among all the others? Annabeth is a good strategist and can help a lot. Thalia and Jason has lightning powers and Jason can fly. Nico could shadow travel and conjure skeletons up. Conner and I can only fight, and perhaps steal.

[Annabeth's POV]

I knew it! I just knew that Travis wouldn't be able to refuse his father's offers (although I wrote it! He just immediately came over! He's sooo gullible! AND he's the son of the god of pranks!)

[Conners's POV]

When we arrived campers all around us were fighting. There were dracenae, empuosa, and hellhounds all over us. Travis and I pulled our swords out and started to fight. I put my sword into a dracenae. Behind me, a hellhound started at me, but a girl with choppy brown hair (I think her name was Piper?) stabbed it for me. I mouthed a thank you. A little farther from me, a boy my age, with jet-black hair and sea-green eyes, was conjuring up a mini hurricane and throwing it at monsters. He was a good fighter, too. Apparenty a son of the Big Three. Poseidon, I think.

Finally all the monsters were gone. I went to the imfirmary, and I saw Travis there, but he wasn't standing. He was lying on a bed.

An Apollo girl, Calliope?, was tending to him. Katie was sitting next to him. She had been there when Travis was stabbed in the shoulder. Her eyes were blotchy, like she had been crying.

"Is he going to be okay?"

I asked, a bit panicky. Calliope shrugged.

"I don't know for sure. He would live, but I'm not certain that he will."

She sighed, and went out. And I did too.

[Katie's POV]

Ugh, I wish Travis would just get up and start making jokes and teasing me. It is much better than him lying on the bed, not moving.

I studied his face.

Brown curly hair, adorable and cute. His brown eyes which would lit up when he pranked. His lips that would form a cute smile.

What I did next was something I wasn't planning.

I leaned in and kissed him.

[Travis's POV]

Where am I?

I thought.

"Oh, somewhere around the Underground, I suppose."

A voice behind me said. I jumped and turned around. Aphrodite was sitting on a pink fluffy chair. She waved her hand and a brown comfortable-looking chair appeared. I walked over and sat down.

"Why am I here?"

I asked.

"You got stabbed by that nasty dracenae, and you're now in the infirmary, unconcious."

Aphrodite, who was reapplying her makeup, answered.

"Why are you here?"

"I came here to talk about your love life"

"What about my love life? And it's not your business"

"One, you've found your soul mate, and two, it is my business, since I am the love goddess"

I rolled my eyes.

"And who, exactly, is my soul mate?"

Aphrodite smiled.

"I think you know..."

I thought. What girl did I see a lot these days. Let's see, I saw.. I think I saw only one girl-

Oh.

How could I be so stupid?

"Yes, Katie's your soul mate. In fact, she's kissing you right now!"

What?

Cliffhangie!

I know, I'm kinda cruel.. but I'll update soon...

I'm sorry, I've been updating like once a week... I've been busy with all kinds of things.
