Connor
OH MY GODS WOULD THOSE TWO JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY?! WHO GIVES A POOP ABOUT SWEARS!?!?!?!?!
Travis and Katie are awkwardly sitting quite close on the sun chariot. Apollo is still reciting bad poetry in the drivers seat. Gods... I hope his brain doesn't blow or we're all dead. Anyway, did something happen between those two? Now that I think about it, I should probably think of something more interesting to call them... maybe Tratie! Okay message to Tratie: GET TOGETHER ALREADY! Wait but if Katie breaks her swear she'll die... WHATEVER HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Travis
Connor is quietly laughing hysterically to himself. What the heck is wrong with my idiotic brother? I mean, I knew he was crazy but not this out of whack..... Oh! Dakota's visiting and he must've shared his Kool-Aid with Connor. Well, I guess we're stuck with Crazy Cool-Aid Connor for a couple hours.
"Where are we going, Lord Apollo?" I walk to the front of the bus and ask Apollo.
"Ah, you kids flatter me. Lord Apollo. But keep it up! Anyway, we are going to the island where one of my sons is in-prisoned."
"Um.. Are you sure that's safe?"
"Child are you questioning my godliness?!?" Apollo begins to glow fiery red so I decide to shut up and go back to my seat next to Katie. She's trembling slightly so I decide to put my arm around her. Usually I don't do impulsive things like this- well actually I do. I am ADHD. But anyway, I usually don't do stuff like putting my arm around Katie. I've only flirted with girls who I have no chance with. Usually they're my friends too though. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm going to go with my instincts on this one. Katie seems to realize what I'm doing. I know that she likes someone else and that's why we're going on this quest, but I really, really, really like her. And I'm not going to let somebody else get in the way of that.

Katie
I am so scared. Scared to death. We are all going to die. I know what's going to happen. And I'm leading Travis and Connor to their deaths! It's going to happen soon, one of my flashbacks. They always happen when I'm feeling severe feelings.

"Katie?" Oh my gods what's going on! This is not a flashback! This is like an Iris-Message, but my eyes are closed.
"Katie, hey, It's me. This is an empathy link that I figured out. I need to talk to you. And don't go drown yourself this time, okay?"
He tries to say more but flickers and them disappears. I wake up trembling, and see Travis walking towards me. His brown hair glints in the sunlight and his eyes sparkle mischievously at me. He sits down next to me and puts his arm around my shoulders. I sigh and lean my head on his shoulders. He's a bit taller than me so this is difficult, but I manage. I forget about Liam and dream about a future for Travis and me:
Since we both will be 18 in two years, we could go to college in New Rome together, and be safe for four years. Then we could get a farm in the country and settle down there. I've always wanted to live on a farm, probably because I'm a daughter of Demeter. I wonder what Travis and my kids would look like.. I would want them to have his mischievous eyes and gangly body shape, and I think that it would look pretty good with my blonde hair and spotty freckles. We could have a daughter called Lily and a son named Fred. Then we could move to New York and show them Camp Half-Blood. Chiron has decided to allow second and third generation demigods, although usually Greek half-bloods don't survive long enough to have kids, the Romans did it and maybe we can too. I could teach the kids how to fight when they were young and tell them everything that happened when I met Travis and the ridiculous quest we went on to finally fall in love.

But. This can never happen if we don't complete this stupid quest. Dam you Liam! I will get Travis. I will. After all, after their quest, the Seven got their true loves, so why should some tree nymph dryad thing stop me from fulfilling my dreams? The only problem is what I think is going to happen, and the fact that Liam and I now have an empathy link and he tried to talk to me.

Suddenly the Sun Chariot lurches. Apollo laughs nervously and mutters something about having everything under control. Oh no. It's happening. The thing I feared would happen. The chariot gives out and goes spiraling toward the an island far below.

To be continued !
