DaughterofApollo101: I was right :D. I'm so proud of myself. And I know the feeling, I'm pretty sure I have arthritis, and I'm only 15! :O My sister is 10, so younger :P. One Day Review: Why thank you! :D
Radius Flame: You'll have to find out :P
Poseidon'sdaughter19: You almost cried? They always say (or at least I say) if a story can make you cry it's a good story. I'm touched! Yeah, I didn't cry during the Notebook either. I only cry when someone dies. That's a lot of instruments! I sing as well :).
Aeron Thana: Thank you :)
Lil P' 101: Because Percy knew that's what she wanted :P
Only six reviews :(. I was going to wait for more, but I really want to update! So here you go!
Leila enjoyed being with the hunters. She was still wary of letting her guard down, but if her mother t
rusted them, so would she. Thalia was her mother's Lieutenant and a daughter of Zeus. She offered to step down from her position for her to take her place, but Leila politely declined.
Some of the hunters loathed her from the moment they met her. It was understandable, though. Leila was the cause of Artemis breaking her oath. She spent most of her time perfecting her archery by herself. Artemis praised her constantly. A lot of the other hunters grew jealous over her close relationship with her mother.
Leila kept her promise to her friends. Every night before bed she would iris message each of them. It was nice to talk to people other than the hunters. Sometimes she wondered if she made the right choice. Was it really worth leaving them? To watch them die later on in life? Whenever she called them, they looked worried. Leila always pushed it aside. Percy tried to talk to her as long as her could. He didn't talk about Annabeth, and she didn't ask. Though she wondered what was going on between them.
Nicky talked endlessly about Nate, and vice versa. Leila didn't mind though. They were happy and that's all that mattered.
At night while everybody was asleep. Leila would wander the woods. Whenever she sat in one of the trees, she half-expected Percy to sneak up on her. Her mother didn't like the fact she was friends with Percy and Nate. It led them to argue for hours. Moments like those was when she felt as if she was back home with her father.
"Lady Artemis?" She asked. She felt strange calling her mother that, but around the other hunters she must.
"Yes, Leila?"
"Can I speak to you for a moment?" Her mother followed her into her tent.
"What did you want to speak to me about, daughter?" She questioned.
"I want to know why you broke your oath," Artemis didn't look surprised. "it's been bothering me ever since I found out I was your daughter."
Her mother sat down. "I didn't mean to break my oath. Your father found me one night while I was hunting. Something about him captivated me. He may not be now, but when I first met him, he was the nicest man I ever met. I didn't have the urge to turn him into an animal like with any other man. One thing led to another, and you came along," Leila remained silent. "I know what your father did to you, Leila."
"If you knew, why didn't you help me?" Angry tears formed.
"It wasn't in my power."
"It wasn't in your power? You're a goddess." She argued.
"Calm down, my child. I've noticed ever since you joined the Hunt you've been irritable."
Leila took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, mother."
"It's alright. How about you rest." Leila nodded and her mother left.
After ten minutes she gave up trying to sleep. In the corner of her tent was a small fountain. At the bottom laid several golden drachmas that she used to iris message her friends. She took one from the bottom saying, "O goddess, accept my offering," The water shimmered. "Percy Jackson, Camp Half-Blood."
The image changed to the camp she just left. In a group there were her three friends. It was odd. She's never seen them together before. Well, if you don't count her departure. They seemed to be discussing something.
"Leila-"
"I know-"
"What do we-"
"Hello?" She called out. They jumped at the sound of her voice.
"L-Leila, why are you calling?" Nate asked.
"Can't a girl call her friends?" She retorted.
They all gave a shaky laugh. Leila grew suspicious.
Percy coughed, "Uh, so how's the Hunt?"
"It's good, I guess. I just can't wait until I can visit. Mom has been dropping hints that we might be going soon." A smile grew on Leila's face.
They looked at each other. "Leila, we have to go." Nicky said.
A frown replaced her smile. "Fine. Goodbye." She quickly waved her hand through the image.
All of the iris messages lately became shorter as time passed. Leila thought it was her doing. Did they not want to be friends with her anymore?
Leila looked in the mirror and whispered, "What have I done?"
So I hope you guys liked it. The next chapter you guys probably won't like at all. I'm sorry D: I already have the ending planned and everything, so the story is coming to a close. You guys will not like the ending if I know you guys well enough. But do no fret, there will be a sequel! :) So review my lovely people! :D
