Poseidon'sdaughter19: So do I :)

She didn't want to leave him, but sadly, she had to. It was time for bed and she couldn't stay with him, it was the camp's rule. All she wanted was to be with him, to have him hold her in his arms. She didn't want to be left alone, she was afraid of what thoughts would bring her.

Her mind became her worst enemy. All she could think of was Percy's dead body. It was her fault, she didn't know how or why, but it was her fault. She wanted the thoughts to go away. It seemed to be a never ending nightmare for her.

"Please, go away." She whispered to herself as the image of her beloved reappeared. She wished her mother never told her the truth, she'd rather be left in the dark. Leila couldn't take the pain anymore.

"Leila, are you awake?" Her heart lifted at the sound of his voice.

"Perseus, what are you doing here?" She couldn't help but smile. Her knight in shining armor came to save her once again.

He laid down next to her and wrapped her arms around her waist. "I couldn't sleep, and I see you couldn't either."

"My mind won't give me a break."

Percy looked at her sadly and kissed her forehead. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Leila shook her head. "Maybe later," They sat in silence and she found herself staring at him. Even though his eyes were closed she could still imagine his brilliant sea green eyes that held so much kindness. She noticed that whenever he looked at her his eyes held an emotion that only he showed to her, love. "you know we'll be dead if someone caught us, right?"

His body shook as he chuckled which brought a smile to her face. "You worry too much, darling." Her heart skipped a beat.

"I'm a worrier, what can I say?"

Percy ran his hand up and down her arm sending shocks through her body. Leila rested her head against his chest and listened to the soft beating of his heart. He began to hum a tune in her ear, it was a tune she never heard before. Nevertheless, she smiled to herself and let the voice of her love help her fall asleep.

"Hi, mommy!" Naomi shouted cheerfully.

Percy was still humming.

"Why, mommy, why?"

He kissed her forehead.

"I order Leila Night to be hanged." Nate began to laugh maniacally.

Leila shot up from her slumber covered in sweat. Percy was out like a light snoring softly. She couldn't help but smile at him. Her fingers moved his hair out of his eyes. He shifted but remained asleep. She pressed her lips against his forehead and laid back down.

Without Percy to talk to her, her mind began to wander. She wondered when her dreams would take place. Hopefully, it would be years from now. She couldn't lose what she just got.

Percy stirred in his sleep. "Why didn't you wake me?" His voice was heavy with sleep.

"You looked so peaceful, I just couldn't."

He rested his chin on her shoulder. "What did you do while I was out?" He gently placed a kiss at the base of her neck. Leila shivered slightly.

"I've just been thinking."

He sighed. "Leila..."

"I just can't help it." She held her face in her hands.

Percy rubbed her back in small circles. "I love you, Leila, and we'll figure it all out."

"Yes, but when?"

"The time will come."

Leila sat on the beach with her knees hugged to her chest. The sun was just beginning to rise. Percy was back in her cabin sleeping. After their conversation, he fell back asleep and as much as sh didn't want to, she left to clear her head. So far, it wasn't successful.

She herself didn't know why she came to the beach. On any other occasion she would have gone to forest and sit in a tree. Although, the beach reminded her of Percy, maybe that's why she came. But if she wanted to be reminded of Percy, she could have stayed in her cabin where he rested. Honestly, she didn't know why she was here. She was confused.

"Are you going to talk to us now?" Leila locked in place at the sound of Nicky's voice, but relaxed since it was useless to act afraid. Neither of them would do anything to hurt her...yet.

"I guess so."

They sat down on either side of her.

"What's wrong?" Nate asked.

"Just a bit confused."

None of them spoke after that for they didn't know what to say. Just being there was all Leila needed, her mind didn't wander to the dark thoughts that haunted her.

"Where's Percy?" Nicky wondered.

"Oh, um, he's sleeping in my cabin." Leila attempted to hide her blush that made its way to her cheeks.

"Getting busy, were you?" Nate wiggled his eyebrows.

Leila pushed him lightly. "Shut up, Nate, we just couldn't sleep."

"So you made out?"

Nicky glared at her boyfriend. "Leave Leila alone, Nate."

Leila laughed softly to herself. For a second she felt lighter. If only it would stay that way.

By the time lunch passed, Leila felt the sudden urge to return to the forest. It was the place she could be herself and to be alone. She now remembered why she never went to the beach to think, it wasn't exactly private. At the forest, no one bothered her since most were afraid of it. She didn't understand why, it was completely safe.

She made her way down the familiar path to the tree she usually took refuge in. Her fingers ran down the bark slowly, the rough texture making a few scraps on her hands.

"Leila." Percy said. Her hands fell to her side in surprise. The three of them were behind her, they must have followed.

"What are you doing here?"

Nicky spoke for all of them, "We were worried."

"There's nothing to be worried about, I'm fi-" They gasped in shock. "What is it?" They pointed behind her, not once making a sound.

The three had a light glowing in the shape of a door. Cautiously she pushed the bark of the tree, it opened revealing the brilliant light that was almost blinding. Leila looked over her shoulder to see them flabbergasted. She made her way through the doorway of light. She recognized where they were immediately.

Leila turned to the others. "Guys, welcome to Lisdan."

Ah, this is the longest chapter I've ever written for this series :D. Anyway, so I went to the game with my friend who plays Nicky to see the guy who plays Nate. During the 3rd quarter, we got a couple of band kids and went to my highschool's side and cheered for the other team. Man, we got cussed out :D. I'm so going to die on Monday...so if I don't update for a while, that means I'm dead. Ha, love you all! Review!
