The Gardener and the Idiot - A Tratie Fanfiction (ON HOLD UNTIL JUNE 20TH)

Chapter 18

Katie's POV
I nervously followed Connor into the woods as I stared at the sky. "Should we wait till tomorrow morning?"

Connor looked at me dead in the eye. "Do you want Travis to keep suffering? We need to find Chiron now."

I shook my head. "I'm no good if I'm dead. I am not going into the woods. I'll wait for him to get back."

Connor glared at me. "Katie! Travis needs us right now! We need to be there for him."

I wasn't backing down. "Connor, I said no."

Connor shook his head at me. "Fine. I'll go by myself." He sprinted into the woods.

"Connor! No!" I screamed after him. I attempted to follow him, but it was too late. He was gone.

"Shoot!" I said to myself. I was overwhelmed. A part of me wanted to chase after Connor, but the other part of me wanted to go find Chiron elsewhere. What do I do?

Val's POV
I tried not to panic as I stared at the last vial. What in the world am I supposed to do?

We had used the last heartlock plants in the area to make this.

Some may say it's greedy, but I bet Helen of Troy used it. Like seriously. She's not THAT pretty. She HAD to be using a love potion. (Btw: the Heartlock plant is completely made up, and I have nothing against Helen of Troy!)

I had this feeling building up inside me. A mixture of sadness and something else I couldn't quite put my finger on.

Before you judge me, imagine being in my shoes! Having a crush on a guy for years, and suddenly, a girl just waltzed in and stole him before you can blink!

But even that feeling is the better than the one bottling up inside me.

For the first time, I felt regret. I fingered the last vial. What do I do?
