Pawprinter: 1st review: Mine's the best? Aw :). I like Percabeth too, but there's too much. Get any prizes? :P And yeah...I guess I rock. 2nd review: Percy is Percy haha. Yay, another buyer :D. 3rd review: Yeah, I'm hating her too. Well that's good, that means they're a good couple :P.
gummybearsrock: I didn't think it was that deep :P. You born in the U.S but don't live there? Weird :P. And to answer you question, no, I haven't done anything to them. I rarely talk in school.

The trees around her became a blur as she ran. The wind stung her eyes, but she didn't stop. She had to warn them. She had to leave, before it was too late. Her legs wouldn't go fast enough.
"Where were you?" Nicky demanded.
Leila bent down, truing to catch her breath. "We...have to...leave.:
"Why?" questioned Alex.
Leila's breathing steadied. "This is where I was kidnapped. They could attack at any given time."
"How do you know for sure?" asked Nate.
Leila pointed to her bracelet. "I found it. I dropped it when they took me," They still looked unconvinced. "Look, it's likely that they're monitoring this area. I don't know about you, but I'm leaving."
Without a second thought, she started walking away from the campsite. The leaved crunched beneath her feet. They didn't make an attempt to follow her. They didn't believe her, and she wasn't sure why. Had she done something that would cloud their judgment? But why should she care, her trust for them was nearly gone. She was better on her own. That way she can heal. If the Fates are on her side, that is.
"I don't believe her," Nate said. "coming up with such a stupid lie."
"What do you mean?" Percy asked.
"She obviously made it up. My own cousin, a liar."
Percy stared at him dumbfounded. "What do you two think?"
Nicky shrugged. "I'm not sure."
"I believe her," Alex said quietly. "Leila doesn't seem like the type of person to lie."
"Then why didn't you go with her?" Percy asked.
"I think she needs time to think after all that has happened with...you know."
Leila was tiring quickly. Her feet felt like lead. Each step was getting harder. Her mouth cried out, wanting to quench its thirst. She fell the ground exhausted. It's been at least a few hours since she left.
"Mom, why do you hate me?" She managed to ask hoarsely.
She didn't want to die like this. Not in a forest where she might never be found. Animals would eat her dead body. That's not how she wanted to leave this world.
If she died in Lisdan, would she truly die? Or would she return to Earth? If so, would she be the age that she entered Lisdan?
"Please, help me." She began to sob.
"I'm going to go find her." Percy said.
Alex stopped him. "No offense, Percy, but you're not her favorite person right now."
"She could be dying out there, Alex."
"I highly doubt that, she's a smart girl. Her mother created the Hunt, she was in the Hunt, she will know how to survive here."
"I'm still going."
Alex sighed. "Your funeral."
Leila crawled on her hands and knees breathing heavily. She sounded like a dog. Her hands got cut each time a branch came in her path. She was too delusional to care.
"Water..."
No water, not even a stream was in sight.
"Leila!" She raised her head in confusion. She had no idea where it came from. "Oh gods, you're hurt."
Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Percy?"
"Yes, Leila, it's me. I know you hate me right now, but you have to let me take care of you."
"No, leave me alone," She swatted his hands away, or at least tried to. "I'd rather die than have you help me."
"You're too stubborn for your own good." He smiled.
A scream pierced the air. "Alex!" He yelled.
I'm going with my dad tonight, I hate him. Ugh, so goodbye! I love you all! Review!
