A/n: Yo! Here's the new chapter! I hope you guys like it! It's gonna contain some of Travis's POV because this is still a Tratie fic; I need to have some Travis in here too!

Cussing and bad words ahead!
------------------------------------------------------------
Travis's POV:

"Is she asleep?" I asked Connor as we walked.

"Yup." Connor frowned and looked up at me. "Travis, is that true? Has everything we've ever done and said to her been shitty things?"

"I don't know honestly. What we think is funny may be a tragedy to someone else. Same could be said for Katie-Kat. Maybe this whole time our pranks on her have been hurting instead of making her laugh. And if that is the case, then I'll apologize like it's the last time I'll speak to her."

"Travis, you like her don't you."

I stayed quiet.

"Holy shit you do! You're blushing!" Connor smiled.

"And so what if I do? You're acting as if you don't like Miranda." 

That shut him up. It's not a very well known fact-unless you're a Hermes or Aphrodite kid-that I like Katie and Connor likes Miranda. I can tell anyone the first day I started liking Katie with perfect detail, but I won't. I've only kept it to myself.

"Travis, do you think she likes me back? Even just a little?" Connor asked.

Connor is self-conscious about how others see him. It all started when he started getting bullied at our middle school. Since I was always a grade above him, I couldn't be there when they were bullying him. I told our mom and she stopped it, but the damage was done and Connor wasn't the same. He questions if people like him all the time and I hate it. He doesn't see how great people he loves and cares about really think he is. He usually likes to cope alone because he thinks the people we hang with hate him.[*1]

"Connor, she likes you. You've been friends since the first year you met." I reassured him.

"But friends can leave!"

"Yeah, but true friends stay. I'm here too, Connor. I'm your brother, you can't get rid of me easily." I smiled at him. Connor smiled back. There's no way in Hades that I'll ever let him get rid of me.

"Thanks, bro."

------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was setting when we got to Samuel's house which I don't even think is a house, maybe a mansion. Peter knocked on the door and Samuel opened it, smiling.

"Hey folks, welcome to my house. The rooms are in through here. I have five rooms that can be used, all with their own bathrooms and furniture at the ready. The rent is just for the rooms and food and starts at $16 for each room and $5 more counting for all 3 meals unless you choose to eat out. How many rooms do you need?" He asked, leading us to the hallway with the rooms we can stay at.

"I think we can have all five. Is it $16 per day or week?"

Peter started making business deals with Samuel as I opened the door to one of the rooms and settled Katie-Kat on the bed. I stretched my back a bit and sat down next to Katie.  I moved a piece of her hair from her eyes to behind her ear. Katie had the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen, a beautiful color of forest green that a real forest could never compare to. Her hair was a medium brown color and was soft as I ran my fingers through it. Her freckles painted her face like specks of dirt. I remember one time when we were younger  I though they were specks of dirt and tried to wipe them away. She was pretty mad and smacked me. I didn't care because for the rest of the day I was thinking about how cute I thought she looked. Just like when I met her when I-NO! Shut up Travis no need to remember that day right now, not now. [*2]

"Travis, stop staring at Katie and go to your room. It's getting kinda creepy." Miranda said from the doorway. I nodded and got off the bed and towards the door. As I stepped out of the room, Miranda grabbed my arm but didn't face me, instead she stared at Katie's sleeping form. "I hope you know I will beat the living shit out of you if you hurt her, Travis. My sister is not property, she is a living human being and I expect you to treat her that way if you two start dating. And yes, I figured out that you liked her on my own, no help needed."

"I-I will Miranda." She dropped my arm and I walked off.

------------------------------------------------------------

Katie's POV:

I opened my eyes and looked around the room to see where I was. I smiled a bit when I saw the Oskait symbol on the doors and got out of bed, jumping in excitement as I opened a window and the sea smell hit me. I looked out into the horizon and saw the beaches. That's it, that's what I'll do today.

"Your Majesty? Are you awake? Your mother asks for your presence at breakfast!" A voice said, and someone walked in. I looked over at the door and saw Lou Ellen. She looked exactly like she did at camp, but she wasn't wearing any chains or stuff like that. She was wearing a maid outfit like Miranda's and Drew's. "Your majesty, you weren't trying to escape again were you?"

I blushed and shook my head. "No, I was just looking out the window. I wanted to go to town today."

"Well you do have a free day other than breakfast with your parents...I'll convince Clarisse and Chris to take you out again. Just please don't chase another pig around. If it takes your shoe, that's that, don't chase after it."

"It was my favorite pair..."

"You have more shoes here at home. Now get dressed, your mother will be waiting."

I walked into my closet and my eyes were wide. Holy shit, it's fucking huge. I could have sworn it looked smaller on the outside. Am I in the motherfucking Tardis?! Where the fuck is David Tennant because I'm in the motherfucking Tardis!

"Your majesty, please hurry up! Your mother is waiting!"

"I'm coming!" I put on a spring dress with a white top, a black ribbon around the waist, and a beautiful flower pattern in the skirt that reached a bit above my knees. I put on some white flats and braided my hair. Not fancy, just a simple braid. I walked out and Lou took my hand, dragging me out the door and to the stairway.

"Where's Sammy?"

"Mr. Samuel is already at the table with your parents."

"Oh great, just my luck." I sighed.

"At least it's not as bad as Christmas when you were 12."

"WE HAVE AGREED TO NEVER SPEAK OF IT!"[*3]

"Speak of what your majesty?"

"...You're messing with me again aren't you Lou."

"Yes, I am your majesty. Now get in there."

I was pushed through the doors and all eyes were on me. I waved awkwardly at Sammy and looked at the head of the table to see who my parents were.

My father had dark brown hair that reached down to his shoulders and good features. His eyes were green but lighter than mine. He had facial hair and a warm, inviting smile on his face. He was nothing like my real father in Maine, not in looks or-hopefully-personality. He was sitting down at the head of the table and was wearing royal clothes, purple and black like on our crest.[*4]

I looked over at my mother, expecting Demeter, but that was not the case. My mother had dark brown, almost black, hair and brown eyes. Her hair was up in a bun and she was also wearing royal garments. Her eyes were warm and she too wore a smile.[*5]

I sat beside my mother and smiled nervously. "Good morning. I hope I didn't keep you all waiting."

"You did." A familiar voice said. I looked across from me and saw Kyri, but the young one, not the "hot-dad-vibe-Atys" one. He smiled at me devilishly. "Good morning dear baby sister."[*6]

"Brother." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Oh stop this childish banter. Kyri, be nicer to your sister, she did not keep us waiting." My mother scolded. I smirked in triumph as Kyri huffed and looked away.

"Yes, Mother."

"And Katie," I looked at her. "I received word you wanted to go to the village again. Why, might I ask, are you going again after the pig incident?"

I groaned. "Why does everyone keep bringing it up?!"

"Because it was fucking hilarious." Kyri snickered.

"Kyri!" My father scolded.

"Well, it was!"

"Oh shut it Kyri! You're acting like you've never done anything!" I snapped.

"I haven't."

"Then you wouldn't mind me telling Mama and Papa about how you snuck out and into the woods in the middle of the night to see your fairy girlfriend like you do every other night? The one you claim doesn't exist because you're the perfect child?" I said calmly as I began eating my breakfast. Kyri jumped out of his seat and across the table, tackling me to the ground by knocking my chair backward. We started fighting and I heard my parents give an audible, long sigh.

"Hxqfb, Hvof, pqlm qefp cfdeqfkd fjjbdfxqibv!" [*7]My father yelled.

"Yes, Papa," I grunted and pushed Kyri off me.

"Sorry, Father." Kyri and I stood and bowed our heads.

"Kyri, you and I will talk later. Katie, apologize to your brother." My mother said.

"Sorry, Kyri."

"I accept your apology. You shouldn't punish Katie, I started it. Allow me to take her to the village with Clarisse, Chris, and Samuel. My actions should not justify her fun."

Our parents glanced at each other, then at us. "Katie, are you okay wth your brother going with you?"

"Yes Mother, I'm perfectly fine with it."

"Alright."

------------------------------------------------------------

"Kyri, how the Hades are you my sibling?!" I asked when we were outside the gates, riding our horses to the village.

"Because your mother is my mother."

"Demeter?"

"Katie, you do not belong with them. They are not your family."

"You told me that already! Can't you explain it to me?! Help me please, I'm so confused."

"...Katie-"

"We're here your majesties," Chris said from ahead. Kyri shut his mouth and sighed. I gave him a pleading look but he went ahead with his brown horse and entered the village.

"Sammy?" I looked over at him, who had his head bowed as he passed me.

"You're not ready for the truth yet Katie. I'll tell you if you succeed the side quest."[*8]

"...Fine. Be that way." I got off my horse and walked into the village incognito. I don't know where my feet were taking me but it felt like I was walking a familiar path. Faces passed me, many familiar, others strangers. I saw a group of kids that bullied me at the high school I went to pass by me, laughing. A pang hurt my chest but I ignored it and kept going. The trail took me to the woodsy trail and that one led me to a cottage. I knocked on the door and to my surprise, Travis opened the door. He seemed a bit surprised to see me too and smiled.

"Your majesty! I was sure you'd never come back after Piglet took your shoes and went off running." I laughed and shook my head.

"No pig will stop me from coming to visit my friend."

"Please come in Katie-Kat. Let me take your cloak."

I walked in and let him take my cloak. I sat on the straw couch and smiled at the cozy feel of the cottage. It was small, enough room for one man. There was a small table at the corner of the room, two chairs pulled into it. There was a bookshelf with a few books in it, the couch I was sitting on, and a small kitchen. That was the first-floor. To get to the second floor, you'd need to climb up the ladder and there would be a bed of hay with a blanket to cover the hay, another to keep warm with, and single pillow. Next to the bed, there'd be two chests full of clothes and other belongings.

"Travis, want to go to the village with me?" I asked.

"Katie-Kat, you know I need to lay low." Travis frowned.

Something others didn't know abut Travis that I did was that he was a thief of the night, but he stole from Bandits; he was the Bandit Bandit. I called him Shadow Phantom because he attacks quick and fast and only at night. I only know this because I got lost one day in the woods and the bandits came from nowhere, attacking me. He helped me and like the idiot he was back then, took me to his house. The rest is history and now I come whenever I can to visit him, sometimes needing to sneak out.

"C'mon Travis, your shoes are worn out and you're running out of bread. And that sweater I bought you for last year's Day of Ice is getting smaller because you've grown more muscular, so unlike the scrawny boy I met all those years ago who helped me from bandits."[*9]

"I am low on money." He said quickly.

"I have money. Travis, let me help you out. We're friends, aren't we? Don't friends help each other?"

Travis and I had a staring contest and he finally looked away, sighing. "Shoes, sweater, and bread. We're only buying shoes, a sweater, and bread, nothing else."

"Alright." I took Travis's hand and we started walking out the door when he stopped me.

"Not so fast your majesty, you're forgetting your cloak and I need to put mine on too."

"Fine but we need to hurry. The festival is in town and I want to see what they have in store this year. They're bringing things from the outside world." I jumped up and down, very excited. 'Why am I so happy? I am from the outside world!'

Travis laughed and we walked to the village, my hand in his as I dragged him. "Hurry up Travis!"

"I'm moving as fast as I can, I need to save my energy for tonight after all."

"Do you think the bandits will attack the festival?"

"Not in broad daylight, they might when it gets darker."

"I need to tell Father about the bandit problem we have."

"King Ovi and Queen Arlena need not worry of such antics, for the Shadow Phantom has it all under control!" Travis said dramatically as we walked the forest path. I laughed and shook my head.

"Of course he does. Now cmon Travis, I want to get you your things."

------------------------------------------------------------  

Katie's POV Still:

"Wow," I whispered, looking at the energetic village I ignored when in my foul mood. Everyone was so lively and happy, after all, it was the Festival of Lights. I took Travis to the shoemaker first and got him a new pair of shoes, then a seamstress to make him a new sweater, and finally to the marketplace. I saw musicians and asked them to play the Kingdom song as I danced around the crest like I was taught when I was younger. I pulled more people into the dance and somehow got Travis to join too. When the musicians ended, I was partnered with Travis. I smiled up at him, out of breath and happy to be partnered with my best friend and crush.

(A/n: Have you ever seen Tangled? You know how in the movie Rapunzel dances and pulls people to dance and ends up in Flynn's arms in the end? That's what happened. That's why that video is there. And that's kinda how I imagined the streets to be busy.)

"Do you want to come watch the lights at the castle with me?" I breathed out after looking into Travis's eyes in silence for too long.

"Am I even allowed to?"

"If I say so, yes you can."

"Then yeah, I'd love to."

I smiled. "Great, wanna go to the castle now? We can hang in there for the rest of the day until it's time to light up the streets."

"The castle, we-I'm going to the castle, wow," Travis said, almost in a daze. I chuckled and we walked down the road leading to my home. Well, my dream home.

"I'm sure you'll like it. You'll also get to meet my mama and papa."

"The King and Queen. I'm gonna meet the King and Queen. And all your other siblings? Will I meet them too? And Lord Samuel?" He rambled on and I nodded and answered all the questions I could.

"Yes, you'll meet all 12 of my siblings[*10] and Sammy. No, I will not let you take a vase and sell it." I sighed. Once a thief, always a thief.

"Fine."

"Your majesty, welcome back. Who is this?" The gatekeeper, Henry who was an Ares kid, asked.

"He's Travis, a friend of mine. We're gonna be hanging here until it's time to light up."

"...Alright. Have fun, Travis." Henry opened the gate and we walked into the castle grounds. I pulled Travis through, giving him a tour and telling him where everything is and what they are, introducing him to the maids and guards who I favored. Miranda, Drew, and Lou Ellen all tried to make us admit we were dating. Well, we're not, so tough luck to them...and me.

"And this is my room, the library is close to it," I said, and we walked into it. He ran over to the balcony and looked out into the village and ocean.

"You have an amazing view." He breathed out. I sat on one of the chairs and nodded.

"Yeah...hey, Travis?"

"Yes, Katie-Kat?"

"When you found out I was a princess, you didn't react like I thought you would. You didn't freak out, why?"

"Well, for one, you were hurt and needed medical attention. It was also a shock I didn't know how to react, but I decided to treat you like you are, a human being." Travis sat on the chair next to mine. I smiled and looked out at my beautiful kingdom, but it faded when I noticed a blackness coming from the distance. I'm waking up.

"Woah, do you see that Katie-Kat?" Travis asked.

"See what?" My voice quivered.

"The blackness...Katie-Kat, are you waking up?"

"I am-wait, how did you know?"

"We all know we're part of your dreams, and made up memories. Only some of us are real."[*11]

"Then that means..."

"I was made from your crush on the real world Travis." I blushed.

"Goodbye Katie-Kat. Let's continue this date when you're back."

------------------------------------------------------------  

A/n: Hello again everyone! I have returned with a new chapter for you all! I really hope you enjoyed it! It's been a while, hasn't it? Sorry for the wait and thank you all for being patient with me!

Explanations/Things Starred:
[*1]-"He questions if people like him all the time and I hate it. He doesn't see how great people he loves and cares about really think he is. He usually likes to cope alone because he thinks the people we hang with hate him."-I had the idea of maybe having some of the other characters have a "mental disorder" of their own even if it's small or not very well seen like in many cases. Connor would have Avoidant Personality Disorder because he thinks the others don't like him and thus avoids people for that reason.
[*2]-Travis has PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I would expect many of the demigods to have this after the wars they went through, but this memory is from when he was younger.
[*3]-Katie has fake memories of her Oskait life created by Sammy so she feels like she fits in more. She has yet to question it.
[*4]-I'll put a picture of her father later.
[*5]-I'll put a picture of her mother later.
[*6]-Yes, Kyri is her brother in her Oskait dreams. He did say he would be everywhere!
[*7]- Hxqfb, Hvof, pqlm qefp cfdeqfkd fjjbdfxqibv!- Translation: Katie, Kyri, stop this fighting immediately!
[*8]-What he means to say is you, my dear readers, are not ready for the truth yet. HA! (don't be mad and kill me)
[*9]-Day of Ice-Christmas. All the Holidays have different names but are basically the same thing.
[*10]-"12 siblings"-if you saw my mythology post, then you know Arlena had 12 kids (one was Kyri) so Katie has 12 siblings.
[*11]-"Only some of us are real."-Yes, really, every character that Katie recognizes except Kyri, Samuel, her parent, and 11 other siblings, aren't real.

Stay strong and live life my friends, and remember, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
