Dear Diary,
Wow, it's been a while since I've opened this diary..what, 4 years? Something..horrible happened today. Lyla died. We don't know how, she did, but this is how it went down.. I was walking around the camp gates, seeing if anyone new was showing up, and also seeing if Lyla would come back today. She went on a quest and hasn't come back for weeks. Suddenly, I see a blonde girl limping towards the gates. "Lyla!" I shouted, running towards her and setting her on the ground behind the gates. "I'm going to go Cyrus, munch on this and I'll be right back okay?" I hand her some ambrosia and run off to the Hades Cabin. "Cyrus!" I was banging on the door. He finally opened it. "What?" He looked annoyed, I did just bang on his door. "Its...Lyla." I didn't have to say anything more, we ran to the gates where Lyla was breathing heavily. Cyrus held her hand. "Hey, Lyla its me, Cyrus." He tried to keep her happy while I healed. Over the past years, I had gotten way better at healing. Lyla looked up at Cyrus and put her hand on his cheek. I know I shouldn't be saying this right now, but Cyrus was blushing out of his MIIIINDDDD.. She kissed him. She told me when we were 10 she would kiss someone before she turned 13. Nice job Lyla, out of ALL the days you have to pick the one when you're laying on the grass dying. "I've, always wanted to do that." She smiled through her tears. "What do you mean Lyla? You're going to live." He squeezed her hand. But Lyla only shaked her head. At this time, I was sobbing, I didn't wanna lose her. I was using all of my power on her. Only her. My best friend who taught me to heal. Showed me around. Introduced me to everyone. Her. My green light that was coming from my hands were blinking, and my nose was starting to bleed. "We-We were going to have a anime marathon when you got back.. You can't die.." He insisted, he was on the verge of tears. "Out of all the days right?" She forced a smile. I couldn't do it anymore, I stopped healing. Coughing uncontrollably. "It isn't your fault Maddie.." She said. I looked down at her. Lyla's face was really pale. She stopped moving. Cyrus shook her. "Lyla..LYLA!" He was crying now. Marie was running over and pulled him back. She hugged him. An Apollo kid came over and picked her up. "I'm sorry for your loss." He walked away with her. I just sat there, hating myself for not saving her. Lee was comforting me, and taking my back to the big house. And this is where we are now. I'm in my bed, crying, writing in my diary..I guess that's all for now. I'll try to write in here more..
Sincerely,
Maddie
