Hey! no reviews or favorites or follows... sigh.

anyway, if you are reading this, please say something! it is getting better, I promise!

this is a little bit of a sad chapter. I put a lot of emotion in it. I hope you like it!

Lily's POV

I walked with everyone else, my arms tied back. I would burn through the ropes binding my arms, but I really don't see the point. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to fight.

I looked at everyone else. Percy was hiding his emotions, trying to look brave. I sensed that he was terrified, but not for his life. The look on Jason's face was similar. Hazel looked like she would burst into tears, but she was good at keeping herself calm. Frank looked like he just gave up. Piper was muttering under her breath, like she was practicing her charmspeak. Annabeth was expressionless. We all knew that it was over. Gaea would destroy the world, and we will all die.

Leo was still crying. His sadness made me want to curl up into a corner and cry.

Maybe, if I stalled a little longer, Leo would come to his senses? It didn't seem likely, but it was the only option I have.

"You really should think about what you are doing," I said to Gaea.

Think about what? she replied, I have thought long and hard. I have waited for this moment for my entire life. It is hopeless, and you know it.

"You really don't know who I am, do you?"

I know you are a girl with a big mouth, one that will get you into trouble some day.

"I guess you should also know that I am a fairy, and my master is one of your captives."

At least that got her attention. She turned to me. I could sense anger coming off of her, but also a tinge of uncertainty.

Who is your master? I will kill him when I find out.

"Yeah, now I really want to tell you."

I am a little curious. If you are so powerful, and by now your master would have given you orders, then why haven't you managed to escape yet?

I was waiting for her to ask that. I smoothly replied, "Maybe he is waiting for the opportunity."

Nice try. I know that your master is the boy who cries like a coward.

How did she know?

"Well, I guess you are too dumb to know the truth, but Leo is not my master."

You are not helping yourself. You should just give up. Join us. I am sure that there is someone among my army who would love a fairy like you, unlike that fool of a boy.

"I am sorry Gaea. I already have a master, and I will die before betraying him."

That was the wrong answer, Lily. You will regret it.

We kept walking. Soon, we were in Long Island. I could see the sign that said 'Camp Half Blood' from here. Soon, we reached the border that kept the monsters out. Gaea and the Earthborn pasted through it easily. I felt the power of Thalia's tree weakening. I shuddered when I thought about what had happened to it.

I don't think it could have been worse that what I saw next, though.

As we approached the camp, I saw everyone tied up. The Greeks were on one half of the camp, and the Romans were on the other.

"Greeks!" shouted Octavian, "Traitors! Come over here so I can kill you!"

I snapped my fingers. I teddy bear floated from Octavian's belt and hovered right in front of his face. Then, it jerked towards him and stuffed into his mouth. Octavian's eyes widened and he tried not to choke on the bear. Everyone else was trying not to laugh.

The Earthborn forced us to sit down as they tied us down. Now we couldn't move at all.

Leo was right next to me, still crying. It I wasn't tied up, I would have put an arm around him. A single tear raced down my cheek. It seemed like only yesterday that Leo and I were watching Frozen, laughing and just having a good time. That Leo was now long gone.

I remembered the song that made both of us cry. Out of all of the songs, it was the most emotional one. Another tear joined the first. I turned to Leo. It was hard, but I managed to get the words out. Soon, I was singing.

Leo

Please, I know you're in there

People have been asking where you've been

They say 'Have courage', and I'm trying to

I'm right out here for you

Just let me in

Was Leo turning to look at me?

We only have each other

It's just you and me

What are we gonna do?

I was crying. I only managed to get the last words out

Do you want to build a snowman?

I cried, burying my head in my arms.

What has happened to me?

I was supposed to be strong. I was supposed to defend Leo, but instead I got him hurt. Now we will all die.

What has happened to me?

I was one of the most powerful beings in existence! I could handle something like this! But my increasing sobs showed just the opposite.

What has happened to me?

*Cries* it is so sad! please review and give suggestions on what you want in the story! you are awesome!
