Thanks for all the reviews guys, I'm feeling the love :D. And now time for some advertising -clears throat- Everyone should read SoccerGurl03's story The Daughter of Apollo! It's a Percy/OC story, I must say, it's pretty good :). NOW GO CHECK IT OUT! Well, after you read this chapter that is. Wasn't going to make you get away that easily ;)

Leila turned around slowly to see who she was up against. She, not they. She didn't need a man to help fight her battles.

A group of nicely dressed men were mounted on horses. For a moment, she feared it was the King's army, but it wasn't their uniform.

"State your residence." The man in the front ordered. She guessed he was the leader.

"Um..." She looked at Percy, who was just as frightened as she was. "we don't have a residence here."

"Then you are criminals," He stated. "the King and Queen will not be pleased."

Leila stared at him. "What King and Queen?" Before he could answer she spoke quickly, "Never mind, listen, sir, we need help. Our friend is hurt."

He glanced down at Alex, who shivered from the cold. "It's not our problem."

"Have you no heart?" Percy yelled. Leila looked at him in shock.

"Excuse me? You listen here-"

"No, you listen," He interrupted. Each word dripped with venom. "my friend is dying. Every second we stand here talking, her life is slipping away. Do you really want her blood on your hands?"

He shifted in discomfort. "All right, we'll help your friend."

Leila felt the urge to hug Percy, but she refrained herself. It seemed her emotions for Percy changed drastically. One moment, she loathed him, but then the next, she just wanted to hug him. It was all too confusing to her.

One of the men took Alex. She was unsure if they could trust them. If they were against the King, though, then they must not be all bad. But once the leader offered his hand, she batted it away like it was deathly to her.

"I'm sorry for behavior," Percy apologized. "Leila, get on the horse."

She shook her head firmly. She was frightened by the thought of the men touching her. Making her perform for them. It would be like her father and the King all over again, she wasn't going to let it happen. She'd rather ride the horse with Percy, even though at the moment, she hated him.

Percy sighed. "Would you rather ride with me?" He asked, and Leila nodded her head shyly. She hasn't the slightest idea why she was acting that way. "Is there a way we can?"

"Nicholas, off your horse." He ordered.

"But, sir, who will I ride with?" Nicholas asked.

"You will walk, you know the way." He narrowed his eyes.

Nicholas gave the tow his horse. She felt sorry for the man, to an extent.

"Come on, Leila, I'll help you get on." Leila stepped away from Percy's hands. She mounted the horse herself, she didn't need a man.

Leila heard him sigh and sit behind her. They both reached for the reigns, and for a second their hands touched. She drew her hands back quickly as the equivalent of an electric current entered her body. She wondered if he felt it, too. Several times before, she felt that shock. It brought her joy, it made her feel rejuvenated. Now, it brought her anger. To her it showed as a weakness. A sign that she still loved him, which she did not.

"Did you feel that?" He whispered in her ear. The smell of the sea filled her nose.

When they were dating, that was one thing she always loved about him, he smelled like the sea.

"I have no clue what you're talking about, Perseus." She tried to hide the tremor in her voice.

"Don't deny it."

"I'm not denying something that didn't happen." She retorted.

"Excuse me," The leader interrupted. "if you two are done, we'll get going. Your friend doesn't have much time left."

Leila glanced at her friend in worry. She hoped he was only bluffing when he said she didn't have much time. If he was correct, what would be the point in continuing on? Alex was the only one who believed in her. Nate and Nicky no longer did. Percy...she still wasn't sure of.

Throughout the ride, Leila shifted constantly whenever Percy's hands or body got too close, which happened often. She wanted to avoid his touch, in fear that the shock would come again. Then, he would continue to speak of it to her, when it must be clear to him that she doesn't want to talk about it. Of course, she felt like she was over analyzing it, like usual. One of her many negative traits.

"It's not a bad trait, it's what I love about you," Percy whispered. Leila's eyes widened in fear. "Yes, you were speaking out loud."

"Forget what you heard." She ordered.

"No, I don't think I will," He smirked. "because now I know that you still love me."

"That's preposterous. When did you hear me way that?"

"I could see it in your eyes." She rolled her eyes, denying his answer. Maybe he was right, she thought. Maybe he could see it in her eyes. Stupid son of Poseidon.

The leader stopped his horse, and the others followed in suit. "Welcome to the Revolution."

Aw, it's over, for now. So, after this all done and over with, I'm thinking about writing another Percy/OC story. I will miss Leila, Nicky, Nate, and Alex, but it's time to move on once this is done. Leila and the gang will always hold a precious place in my heart. After all, this is my first PJO fanfiction. I would like ideas on what her godly parent should be, it could be a minor god/goddess. It doesn't have to be one of the Olympians. Thanks, and I love you all! Review! :)
