So yea, I would like too apologize too my one fan. It been awhile since I posted but I got inspired again so I knocked this out and (with the help of Lucius Darrow) I have a real plan for this story. I won't say anything other then "for the fairest" and History repeats itself. If you guess it good but keep it too your self, well here is chapter 3 again would love some feedback as all ways. Welcome too Layla's Diary

Dear Diary

Alright so it had been a couple days since I written you. I'm so sorry about that just been so busy with activities and Capture the Flag Well your probably going to be wondering what I been up too the past few days. Ok I guess ill start off where I last left you.

I woke up that mourning with a scream. I shot up grabbing for my dagger when I saw a familiar sight. It seems that Diablo decided to come visit me in my sleep. I was about to run and hug the dog when I saw Emma Pull out her sword "Wait no he is friendly" I yelled at her. She looked at me confused still on guard

"This is Diablo and he is my Hell-Hound" I explain scratching behind Diablo's ears" He wouldn't hurt a fly" I said smiling at her as Diablo licked my cheek. "Get that monster out of here" She yelled before running to the bathroom and slamming the door. I sighed" Diablo you better go" The dog whimpered before disappearing into the shadows. I knocked on the door" Emma he's gone now you can come out"

"Go away and Leave Me Alone" She yelled at me. I was still in a little shock from what had happened so I just let her be. I grabbed my things then heading out the door.

Today was my first real day at Camp Half Blood and I was excited. My first class was with Chiron the old Camp Director and it was Archery.

"Alright class, remember one or two fingers and pull back till your arms lock." He then turned too a couple of kids goofing off" And no shooting the arrows straight up or seeing how far they will go. If I find anyone messing around with them there sitting out for the rest of the class"

When it was my turn too go shoot I was kind of nervous, it was my first time with a bow. I followed the old teacher's instructions. I raised the bow pulling it back till my arm locked in place. I closed one eye then let go. Yea it completely missed. A few minutes later a satyr came out with an arrow stuck in his horn. Several Apologies later and a now hornless satyr, Chiron decided it best I just sit out the class or even change to a different class.

The next class was daddies "Monsters 101" They were usually held in the woods but today it was on the pier. Me and several other Kids gathered around waiting for my dad too show up. I looked around seeing new kids and kids I had already know like Blake, Trent, Ellen, and Emma then there were kids I haven't seen before. I made my way too a girl with long hair that were a mixture of colors like red, gold, and brown, she also had aqua eyes. I smiled at the girl and said "Hi I'm Layla grand-daughter of Hades and Aphrodite" holding out my hand. The girl took my hand" Hi Layla I'm Kaimee daughter of Amphitrite. So your grandma and grandpa are Hades and Aphrodite."

"Yup my dad is the son of Hades and he is the teacher." I explained when I saw my dad walk up in front of the class

"Well hello everyone and welcome too Monster 101. My name is Mr. Lobo and I will be your instructor until you leave camp." He walked over to the edge of the pier." Usually I like too hold this class in the woods where most of the monsters are but I have a special treat for you today. The last time this monster was seen was the battle of Heracles and The Hydra." My dad started to wave his hands around then I noticed the shadows of his arms were extending into the water and actually grabbing a very large crab. It was as if he was controlling the Shadows themselves. The shadowy hands dropped the large crab onto the pier as skeletal bars formed around it. "This ladies and Gentlemen is the Karkinos" daddy said walking in front of the crab." Most of you will know him as the symbol of cancer. After being squashed under Hercules foot during the battle of the hydra, Hera rewarded his services by placing his image in the stars."

He stepped away from the cage and motioned "Well come on there is nothing to fear. Come and take a closer look." Slowly some of the kids started to walk up to the Giant crab. I walked up with Kaimee. The monster looked at me with the black eyes. I almost felt sorry for the monster. After I moved away from the bars I saw Trent and Blake move towards the crab. Blake's hand touched the bars and they all collapsed around the monster setting it free knocking Blake into the water. I saw my dad smile about before pushing the crab back into the water then pointed at Kaimee." Be a dear and go get him for me Children of Hades and water don't really mix."

"Ok Mr. Lobo" she said before diving into the water. A few moments later, Kaimee came up the beach with Blake in tow coughing up water. Dad walked up to him pouring some nectar down his throat then waited for him to get back on his feet before saying

"I hope everyone enjoyed today's special treat. Next class will be in three days in the woods. Class Dismissed." Dad then disappeared into his own shadow when the horn for lunch sounded. Blake was still shaken up from what just happened and was shivering from the cold water.

It was pretty quiet sitting at the table. Emma still wasn't speaking to me and gave me a death glare every time I tried to start a conversation with her. As we ate Mr. Ward stood up from his seat and said loudly" As most of you know there well me a capture the Flag after lunch, so make sure your armor and weapons are ready, and remember the rules are as they always have been. No killing or maiming any other camper. When you are finished with your lunch please report to the woods. Chiron, Mr. Lobo and I will be both judges and medics if needed."

I was pretty excited. My first Capture of the Flag. I walked with Emma too the woods following my dad and the other kids. Emma told me we were alliance with Hecate, Eris, Persephone, Nemesis, Thanatos, Hermes, Hebe, Nike, Amphitrite, and Hephaestus. All of the kids gathered around a clearing in the forest with the Flag dead in the middle. I already saw Hephaestus kids working on the traps around the flag while everyone else was getting ready. I pulled out my dagger getting a feel for it, running my finger tips along the blade. "Hey your new right" I lifted my head and found a kid that looked too be in his 17s. "You look nervous, Names Michael son of Nike." He said holding his hand out. I took his hand and Shook it." My name is Layla and I'm a legacy of Hades and Aphrodite, and yeah this is my first Capture the Flag only been here a few days"

"Don't worry about it I'm sure you will be fine but uh best to stay with me and guard the Flag while the more experienced ones go for the flag."

"Alright I guess ill stay back here." I said before walking towards the flag.

"Layla" I turned around and found Emma "Just remember no shadow traveling straight to the flag" She just walked off before I could say anything else.

"Alright everyone" everyone turned and found the Main Teachers Mr. Ward, Chiron, and my dad" As soon as I blow the horn the games begin. First team to get there opponents flag over the line wins. Let the games begin" He smiled before Blowing the horn.

I Stood there next too the flag with my dagger drawn. I must have looked nervous because I heard Michael say" Don't worry everything will be fine, Your with me" He is a very cocky guy but I guess if you live too be 18 and a child of Nike your aloud too be cocky. I could hear fighting and screaming off in the distance and that only made my grip around my dagger only tighter.

After a few minuets I heard a swooshing sound then a load clank. I turned around and saw Michael on the ground with a dent in his helmet, There was an Arrow laying next too him with a boxing glove attached too it. I backed away slightly as I saw three figures appear out of the bushes. It was two guys and a Girl leading the way. "Awesome, now we just deal with the runt and the flag is all ours" The girls said. She was tall maybe 16-17, black hair and pretty muscular. The guy with a bow in his hand spoke up "She just a little girl let's just let her go"

"No, Time too give her an official welcome too Camp Half Blood" She said before running at me sword raised. I screamed, hey if a girl the size of a Minotaur comes at you with a sword, you would scream too. Anyways, back too the fight. The girl swung at me and I had just enough time to bring my dagger up to deflect it but she knocked it out of my hand and I watched as the dagger spin in the air landing in the mud. I looked up at the girl scared as Hades "Welcome too Camp Half Blood" She said as she brought the sword down on me.

I held my eyes tight when I felt a tug in my gut, my body growing weaker, when I heard a loud ringing sound, like metal hitting metal. I opened my eyes and found the ground misshapen and skeletons fighting off the trio. I watched stunned as the skeleton warriors fought for me when the third guy yelled at the kid with the bow " Adam let's get the hell out of here" Adam nodded and ran with the other kid leaving the girl too fight off the skeletons. She hacked and swung at the monsters but they keep coming even after their heads were rolling on the floor. I could tell she was an excellent fighter maybe a child of one of the War gods, but she was no match for the undead warriors. They kept at her till one of them smacked her upside the head with the hilt of their sword. That's when I heard the Horn ending the game meaning one of the teams had captured the flag.

I was still on the ground when the campers began too show up, too weak too even get up I just rested up against one of the boulders. The skeleton warriors had left the girl and were Kneeling in front of me like I was some kind of queen and I got to say it was pretty awesome. My dad and Mr. Ward showed up soon after as kids were carrying the girl away on some gurney. I could see the smile on my dad's face it was like a mix of being proud and concern. He kneeled next too me and had me eat something that looked like corn bread but it tasted just like mom's cookies. Mr. Ward stepped forward and said loud enough for everyone too hear" Congratulations too the red team on winning the first Capture the Flag of summer. Now let's go eat" Once everyone heard the mention of food, the kids started too clear out. I had watched them go and saw Michael go with an ice pack on his head and giving me thumbs up.

Once everyone left it was just me, dad, and the skeletons. I looked the warriors in front of me" uh thanks you can go now?" The skeletons nodded and melted into the ground. I watched my dad look around and he started chuckling "you made such a mess sweetheart but I'm proud of you" He leaned forward and kissed my forehead before helping me up too my feet.

Well that was my week. I had passed out once me and dad made it out of the woods and he ended up just carrying me too my bunk. They next day I managed too talk too Emma about Diablo. She had explained too me that before she had come too camp she was attacked by a hell hound and the dog ended up taking her mother instead of her. So basically a wild Hell hound had killed my step aunt's mother. I am sorry for it taking so long too write in you but camp keeps you busy. Ill try and write tomorrow night. Good Night Diary

Love
