My experience with the war against Gaia was harder than the first one, but I guess that was my fault. I had become so close with a bunch of people, that when they didn't come back, it was devastating.

I had become super good friends with the new girl, Alia. She was like my sister. But it was harder on her than it was on me, I look like a weenie compared to her. the guy that I'm pretty sure she was falling in love with, was probably dead. She had been having crazy nightmares, also her brother was missing and she couldn't help in the search. I had gotten so close to her that I had felt responsible for keeping her safe.

Also Connor and I became so much closer, he and I had immediately become friends after I had come to camp. He had helped me with training to be stronger, his personality just seemed to fit with mine. Which is quite hard to find. He had become one of my best friends. Even though I knew that he could take care of himself, I still worried.

Otherwise my job was easy, snipe the monsters, if we lose too many demigods go in with your sword. The thing is, the Romans were really messing with me. With so many demigods it was hard to hit the monsters and not a kid. Which put my poor consionse under the most stress ever.

Some other incredibly weird things happened too but if you want to know more, I recommend finding my friend Alias journal.

It took awhile, but, we won. After the war everyone celebrated. All of us demigods together.

Celebration

I cheered with everyone else. We had our Coca cola's in hand and we gave out hugs. I spotted Will with Nico. Straight away (HAHA pun) I see that they like each other. Then I see Alia. She stood alone in a corner.

"Hey," I said to her and hand her a Coke. "How are you feeling?"

"Not good," She said and looked me in the eye, "Can you keep a secret?"

Yes."

"I'm not sure Leo's going to come back. I know I should be hopeful, but it's just, I like him so much. It makes me feel like the gods want to punish me for something."

"Why would they do that?" I asked, keeping my voice as nice as possible.

"You know how I got here right?"

"Girl, everyone knows."

"Zeus probably feels like I got to much attention and is now punishing me." she looks down at the ground.

"Alia," I tilted her head up, "You know that's complete bull. The gods were hardly paying attention to us. And Poseidon would be pissed."

"Wha?"

"Nope," I said cutting her off, "You need to celebrate! Let loose, stop thinking about Leo, He is in the place he should be! You will join him someday! Now let's get you high on COCA COLA!" I screamed and drag her into the crowd. Then I grabbed Austin and whispered in his ear. He nodded. I got on his shoulders.

"ALRIGHT PEOPLE!" I screamed into the crowd. They all got quiet. "WHAT WE NEED IS SOME MUSIC! WILLIAM, HIT IT!" Will put on the music and I dropped off Austin's shoulders. I grab a fleeing Alia's hand and pull her over to me. I danced around her, and used my voice to get her in the dancing mood. That's what my voice does. It can make people feel things I want them to.

She swayed along to the beat. We danced the night away. Forgetting all of the terrible things that had just happened. Finally everyone starts to go to bed. It's like 3:00 in the morning. Then it's just me and Connor left.

"Hey," He said and nudged me, "Guess it's just us."

"Yeah it is," I said playfully, he wrapped his arm around me, "what are you up to Stoll?"

"Nothing," he said and brought me into a hug. He put his head on my shoulder. And whispered into my ear, "I'm glad your still here."

"You know I can't be defeated," I teasingly told him. He pulled away.

"Theia I'm serious," he said, "I don't know what I would do without you."

"Connor," I tried to say but he cut me off by kissing me. It was my first kiss. I immediately sank into him. I wanted to stay like that forever, but I pull away.

"I'll never leave you," I told him confidently, "If you won't leave me."

"I promise." He said and kissed my forehead, "You know, your brothers are going to be so mad."

"Why?"

"Because," he said, "we're out late, alone, and I'm know for being mischievous."

"Ha!" I laughed at him and grabbed the back of his shirt and flipped him onto the ground. I kneeled on top of him. "It's your brother we should be worried about, because you know. I'm known for being just a little over the top."

I got off him, laughing, and helped him off the ground. "Time for sleep, Stoll!" He groaned.

"Already? Can we stay out for longer?" He whined.

"Yes, Connor, it's 3:30 in the morning." I told him. He brushed his lips against mine.

"Okay," He turned and started to walk to his cabin "Goodnight Princess."

"Goodnight Jewels!" I walk to my cabin and flop on my bed. It was a good night.
