Me updating so soon? It's unheard of! Haha but nonetheless, here I am with another chapter due to the begging of SoccerGurl03. So thank her :P. I got a new violin a couple days ago, and I absolutely love it! It's amazing :). My new semester is starting soon, so I might not be able to update often since I'm getting new classes (well two, and one of them is gym, but the other is Geometry, blah).

Gummybearsrock: I know right? I hope it's just a dream though :)

Daughter of Oceanus: A pickle shaped like a canoe? Awesome! Are you new to the Leila Night trilogy? If so, welcome!

Lvl-ZeR0: DOUGHNUTS ALL THE WAY! :D

supersweet47: I know, I love her :)

booklover29: I will, thank you :)

SoccerGurl03: Hey yo girl, thanks :P haha love you, dear!

This chapter has one bad word in it, nothing big! So don't flip out on me! Haha

Leila was in the practice area in the early hours of the day with her bow. She needed some way of releasing her emotion, and this was the only thing she could think of. Her dreams were becoming more intense and life-like. They scared her to no end. She didn't want her life to be like that, married to Percy the Jerk.

Even though she knew that once the sun rises she'll have to go back, but right then she was happy to be alone for once. Her thoughts were her own, no one else prodded her mind. She wished once again to be back at Camp Half-Blood, where things weren't stressful. Her friends weren't in danger, there wasn't a war to worry about, and the relationship with Percy wasn't complicated and confusing. She wanted some sense of normality in her life. Although, it seemed that ever since she arrived at Camp Half-Blood, her life has been a never ending roller coaster. The perks of being a demigod.

"Focus, Leila." She scolded. She raised her bow and let the arrow free. Bullseye. This was like child's play. She was in need of a challenge.

Leila looked at the castle and knew she was going to regret her decision.

"Goodbye for now."

She took her remaining arrows and bow and set off into the woods in hopes of finding something challenging. After five minutes, she was already tired of pushing bushes and branches apart, it drove her mad.

Leila froze when she heard unfamiliar male voices. Her heart did a leap. She crouched behind a bush, hoping that she hadn't already been caught.

"General, I'm tired of waiting, when are we going to attack?" One man asked.

"Tonight, we'll show those rebels whose boss."

Leila's breath hitched. They were going to attack tonight, and they were unprepared. She had to warn them. She got on her hands and knees and crawled until she was out of sight.

"Have either of you seen Leila?" Percy asked Alex and the Queen.

"No, we thought she was with you." Alex said.

"She's not in her room, the infirmary, or practice area." He ran a hand through his disheveled hair.

"I'm sure she's around here somewhere, no need to fret." The Queen assured.

He shook his head. "No, I've searched everywhere. She's not on the castle's premises."

"Percy, Alex," Leila ran in, out of breath and hair covered in leaves and twigs. "you are not going to believe what I just saw!"

"Where have you been? I've been worried sick about you," He exclaimed. "I-I mean, we've been worried."

"That isn't important right now, Percy! The King's army is attacking tonight!" She had a wild look as she retold what she saw.

The Queen was furious. "You know you are not allowed to leave the castle's premises."

"If I didn't, you would be slaughtered tonight! Be thankful, Victoria." Leila narrowed her eyes.

"I'll go tell Richard to ready the army." The Queen marched off gracefully, still fuming.

"I'm going to go check on Nate and Nicky." Leila told her friends.

"I'll come with you, I have yet to see them." Alex said, jumping out of her seat.

The walk to the infirmary was silent, neither knew what to say. Something had changed between them since Alex was attacked.

Nate and Nicky looked healthier than before, but still not well enough to e themselves again.

"Alex, do you think we'll have any chance of wining?"
"I don't know. If we had Nate and Nicky fully mobile, I'd say yes."

Leila turned to Alex. "I feel like I've lost all faith in the gods."

"Don't say that, Leila!"

"It's true! Look what the gods have done for us, nothing but pain."

"That may be true, but that doesn't mean to lose faith. We all hit bumps on the road, this one's just a bit harder to get over."

Leila gave Alex a hug and let out a watery laugh. "Why does this always happen to me?"

"I don't know, but just remember that I'll always be here for you."

Leila tightened her grip before releasing Alex. "Thank you."

"No problem." Alex smiled.

A groan was audible from behind them. Leila turned to see Nicky attempting to open her eyes. They went to her side.

"Nicky, can you hear us?" Leila asked. Nicky moved her hand, they took that as a 'yes'. "Alex, go get Percy."

While she rushed off, Leila held her friend's hand. She wished desperately for her to wake up.
"Nicky's awake?" Was the first think Percy asked.

"Well, not technically, but she's responding to us."

"It's a start, but someone should be with them tonight if they do wake up. Leila, I think you should stay." Percy said.

"Oh no, I'm not going to stay here while you go off and fight!"

"This way, you'll be safe!"

"Don't start with me, Perseus Jackson."

"Guys," Alex said loud enough for them to stop arguing. "I'll stay with them. Now, go get ready. They'll be here soon. And Leila?"

"Yes?"

Alex smiled. "Kick the King's ass for me."

Leila grinned. "Will do."

So, I've been thinking. I think that the PJO fan base is the nicest and friendliest compared to the Twilight and Harry Potter fan base. They're all like "Oh my god, I hate Harry Potter!" or "Oh my god, I hate Twilight, who watches someone while they sleep? It's so creepy!" Actually, I do agree with that, but anyway, do you guys agree with me? Tell me your opinions! I love you all, review! :)
