Tratie
" No Travis. I am sick and tired of it!" I shouted at him.
" Well its not my fault. Katie do you really think I would have done something like that? Espspically to you?"
I rolled my eyes. " Yes Travis I tink you would. I mean you didn't stop your brother from dumping crap on me did you? So I guess it would make sense that you would set the strawberry fields on fire."
" I can't believe you don't trust me about this. I wood never do something like that. Ever." He claimed.
" Do you think it matters now? The whole thing to ruined. It will take the rest of summer to even get the ground right. Than once winter hits we can't even plant without them freezing which is near impossible."
He groaned. " Katie you are being so stupid."
" Stupid? I'm being stupid? You know what? You can burn in Hades for all I care now." I said. I walked away even more upset. Stupid? Me stupid? If anyone of stupid it's him.
Travis' P.O.V
Did I really just call her stupid? I think I just did. But in defense I didn't burn the strawberry fields. Me and Connor have done some stupid and stuff that have left a very big mark on camp but I would never do something like that ever.
And she wants me to burn in Hades. Oh she was in for it. I am a very loose kind of guy and let a lot of things go but saying you want me to burn in hell. Please that will take a few years for me to even consider forgiving you. I needed to find Connor to make sure he didn't do it.
" Connor." I found him near the Hecate cabin talking to his girlfriend Lou Ellen. Who made me smell like rotten eggs for about a month after I egged her.
He didn't hear me. " Connor Stoll!" I shouted again. Did this guy have ear plugs in? I picked up a rock and threw it at him. But instead I almost hit Lou Ellen. She glared at me.
" Sorry. I need to talk to Connor." I apologized.
Connor said goodbye to Lou Ellen and walked over. " Dude. Do you want to look like a clown till you die?" He asked.
" No but quick question. Did you set the strawberries on fire?"
He gave me a look of surprise. " Some set the strawberry fields on fire?"
" So I'm guessing you didn't do it?" I asked.
" No I so did it. Of course not! I mean we've done some dumb things but nothing that stupid."
" Can you tell Katie that?"
He laughed. " Dude she thinks you did it?"
I shoved him. " It's not funny man. She said she wanted me to burn in hell."
" Man that is cold." He laughed again.
" Everyone to the pavilion. Everyone to the pavilion." Said a voice over the intercom.
I groaned and walked towards the pavilion. I saw Katie and she gave me her extra special death glare. Which is very scary. It looks like she wants to rip your guts open and have you watch.
" Alright we all know what happened at the strawberry fields today." Chiron said. " Katie would you please explain the damage caused."
Katie stood up. " The fields are destroyed. Nothing left to be salvaged. It will take the rest of the summer just to get the grounds right again. And even than it will be near impossible to plant anything till after winter. Basically we have to start on square one." She sat back down and glared at me again.
Chiron nodded his head. " We do not know yet who did start the fire but if thep erpetrator would like to come up and admit to their crimes. Please do so and th punishment will be far less severe. Wait and th punishment may be worse."
Everyone waited in silence. Than some one stood up from the Athena Cabin. No way could they have done it.
" Small question. Do we keep any fires near the fields? Like maybe even a small latern?" Sheasked.
" We keep a couple laterns by the fields every night in order to give th plants some light to grow. It's been proven that if plant get any kind of light than they grow more." Miranda said
" Is it possible that a latern started a fire?"
" We didn't think about that." Katie said.
" We do keep the, fairly close. We could check the fields for them. But it is very possible." Miranda said.
Chiron nodded his head. " Alright. Katie please tell me of you find anything. Everyone is dismissed." I got up and almost ran out of there. I hate it when we have those meetings. There boring and dreary.
Katie's P.O.V
I never thought about the laterns. I had the entire cabin clean the field afterwards.
" Pick up all the dead plants and if you see a latern tell me as soon as possible. Than once all the plants are picked up we will have to replace it with fresh manure." I said. We all went to different parts of the fields and picked up the plants.
I pulled up a huge plant and saw a latern but it was closed. I opened it and saw all the oil was still in it and none of the glass was broken. So I guess it wasn't this one. I was focused through out the whole thing. Once I filled my barrel I rolled it over to the compo pile.
" KATIE! Katie! You might want to see this." I left the barrel where it was and ran over. My brother Darrel held up a broken latern and the stick we kept it up with was broken in half.
" It looks like the stick broke." He said.
I toke the stick from him. It was old and we had meant to replace them with iron rods. But we had to come up with the money.
" Alright I'm going to go find Chiron. Just keep it up and if anymore broken laterns just put them in a pile but only if there broken. Clear?"
I ran to Chiron. Once I got to his office I held up the broken latern and stick.
" I guess the stick broken and started the fire." I said.
" Well I'm glad no one started it. I'm glad Erin brought up the laterns." He said.
Left the office to go find Travis and apologize. I found him leaving his cabin.
" Travis." I walked up to him.
" Last I checked Katie you wanted me to burn in hell." He said. He began to walk away.
" We found a broken latern." I said.
He turned toward me and laughed. " Really? You found proof that I didn't do it?"
" I'm sorry I told you to burn in hell." I said.
He scratched his head. " Can we please talk in private?"
" Sure." I followed him into the woods.
We walked for quite a bit till he stopped at the creek.
" So you found a latern?" He said.
I nodded my head. " Yeah. The stick that held it up broke in half and when the lamp broke the oil spilled all over the plants. I'm sorry I told you to burn in hell."
" Katie just apologizing right now doesn't really change the fact that you had little to no faith or trust in me when I said I didn't start the fire. And you told me to burn in hell. I don't know if I can get over that."
" I know I said that and I regret it completely. But please forgive me."
He sighed. " Katie I can't. You didn't trust me at all. I would never do that. If you told me you didn't do that I would have had full faith in you that you didn't do that and I would have told people that you didn't do it. But you didn't Katie. And I'm just not sure anymore.
" Travis. I am begging you to forgive me. Please."
He sighed again and looked conflicted. " Katie I can't forgive you. I'm sorry but I can't. I'll see you around."
He walked away. I couldn't let him go off such a bad note.
" Travis I love you." I shouted.
He turned around stunned. He walked toward me again. " You what?"
" I love you." I said again.
" You love me?" He asked.
" Yes." I said. He leaned down and kissed me. It was sweet, light and passionate.
" I love you too." He said after he pulled back.
I threw my arms around him and hugged him. I had a stupid giddy smile on my face that I couldn't get rid of. When I went back to help my siblings they thought I was going crazy. But I wasn't. And I wasn't planning on telling the why.
A/N Hey guys. Hoped you liked it. I had this idea though for a new story though. So I was thinking about taking all of our favorite Percy Jackson characters and putting them in the Divergent world. If you don't know what Divergent is, it's kinda like the Hunger games but with factions that live in the same city and there are only five Dauntless- The brave, Erudite- The smart, Amity- The peaceful, Candor- The honest, and Abengation- The selfless. So that will be coming up soon. I'll post the title in one of my later chapters once I post it. BTW in the Divergent world there is no fight to the death.
C YA! LUV YA! E-SAW-BELL!
