Heya! So I decided to change the name from Voyage for Death to the Voyage for Undead. NO VAMPIRES AT ALL! Just letting you know! You'll see why I changed the name at the end of this chapter.

Also, those who haven't read the stories before this, you don't need too, some references might be confusing, but you don't have to. Yet, I encourage you to read it!

Also, PLEASE REVIEW!

Thanks!

SUMMARY: After Bridgette sacrificed herself for her friends to Melinoe, Ana and her friends are miserable. So Ana wants to save her from death. Or is she not really dead? What happens if Melinoe is teaching her to be an aprentice? The gang will soon realize that and will try to help Bridgette. Once they find them, Melinoe sets up a gruesome test. Bridgette is the prize...A labrynth is the catch... What is Bridgette's fate? And will Ana ever see her beloved friend again?

Ana's POV

We are all back at camp. I mean, yeah, we're like 26 years old, but who cares, right?

For the first time in my life, I'm not sleeping in the comfort of the Athena cabin, along with Annabeth and Maria. The others also were no longer in their cabin. So we slept in the spare rooms of the Big House, leaving the Poseidon Cabin empty again and leaving me with the peril of Elida's snoring.

While Elida, Maria, and Chris watched The Woman in Black, I daydreamt of the possible states Bridgette could be in. She could be lonely, in chains, starving, tortured or electrocuted, possessed, in rags, gagged, maybe even gross things like cutting her open still awake and sewing her back together while still alive, or maybe she's, no I dare not think about that! So I decided to get off the subject.

"USE YOUR WAND, HARRY!" Elida screams as the actor, Daniel Radcliffe, gets stuck in the marshes. Maria laughs although Chris looks like on the verge of feinting and is as terrified as an Aphrodite child, no offence Lauren.

"WHAT IF HE DIES?" Chris yells. I end up chuckling to myself, seeing how Daniel Radcliffe does die at the end, being hit by a train while trying to say his son. I soon found myself entertained by the flashing images and I soon sat down, demolishing popcorn and chugging Diet Coke with the rest of them.

After dinner, we talked a bit. The campers were already asleep, but you could hear the screams of the ones caught out of bed by the harpies. I recall the times where Elida, Bridgette and I snuck out of bed to get sodas. That was before Elida met Maria and before our first quest. I remembered that Elida always got hurt, tripping over a rock or falling on a root, and Bridgette and I always laughed and pitied her. But now, the harpies won't attack us, seeing it has been 10 years. So I decided to take a midnight stroll.

The air was cool and refreshing against my skin. I could see the stars and I remembered Triton teaching me about them.

Flashback

"Right…there! Can you see it?" Triton asks, pointing his finger toward a star as we sat on some rocks above water.

"See what?" I wondered, trying to spot it using his finger as a guide.

"It's Scorpio…" He them explained how to see it and what to look for.

"OH! I see it now!"

End of Flashback

I fiddled with the ring again; its black pearl smooth against my fingertips. I looked up to see the sky, looking for the constellation, but still couldn't find it. Must be wrong time of the year…

"Oh, Triton…I wish you were here with me now…" I whisper to myself. I sat myself on a rock near the ocean so I could listen to the roar of the waves. I closed my eyes, feeling at peace and almost fell asleep.

"Ana?" a voice asks behind me. I snap out of my dazed state to find Nico leaning on a tree, watching me. "What are you doing out here?"

"I could as you the same question…" I snap, the effects of being tired bubbling up in me.

He got up from the tree and walked to my side. "I heard the door slam, waking me up, and I followed you to see that you weren't doing anything stupid."

"Wow…you're such a creeper…and I take total offence to that…" I murmur.

"Huh?" Nico asks, since the waves covered my voice.

"I said, 'I just came out here for a walk, I mean, it's pretty hot in there…" I say, lying completely.

"Oh, okay, sorry for disturbing the peace," he says, seeming like he almost hoped I'd say something else. With that, he turned back toward the cabins.

Then an idea came across my many thoughts. "Wait!" I yell after him. He stops in his tracks and turns his head slightly, to let me know he's listening. "You know how you communicated with Annabeth?" I ask. He seems to take interest and turns completely around, studying my facial expressions and body language. He then nods, seeming satisfied with what my body told him. Yet he still had a confused look upon his face.

"Well, um, could I, maybe, talk to Bridgette?" He studied my features again.

"I don't see why not…" he said quietly.

"Can we do it tonight?" he continues to stare, but soon nods again. I smile a bit, feeling giddy to see my best friend, who happens to be dead, again.

"I'll go get the food. It's lucky how we have tons of strawberries and gallons of Diet Coke…" I frown a bit. WHY WASTE DIET COKE? He notices my discomfort for the Diet Coke and then sighs, "Fine…I'll grab the regular…"

Nico takes off, but soon remembers something. "OH! Be sure to dig a hole while I'm gone, it's less work now than later." I nod, understanding. He then turns around again and sprints to the kitchen.

"Oh my GODS! What is taking him so long?" I mumble to myself as I wipe the sweat off my forehead. The hole is finished, but Nico still need to return with the food.

Eventually, he comes back.

"What took you so long?" I ask as he drops the handle of the wagon on the ground.

"Harpies…A crap load of them…" he pants. I still look confused. Nico senses this and clears my confusion.

"Well, some people didn't marry a god and become a goddess…did we...?" he smirks. I roll my eyes and stare at the food.

"Okay? Well, let's get this started. I really want to talk to her!" I squeal. Nico smiles and for the first time, I realize that he too wants to talk to her.

To make things easy, I kick the wagon over, dumping its contents in the hole. Once every strawberry is in the ground and the gallons of Coca-Cola have been drained, Nico begins to chant. With his final words, he says, "Bridgette Excert, daughter of Athena, and our dearest friend." I feel my eyes tear up and my nose begins to run. I also begin to see ghostly figures walking toward the food. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Nico's knees buckle and I quickly go to catch him before he falls. "You'd think I'd be used to this by now." I laugh.

"Obviously not." I say. I set him down on the dirt and shoo many of the ghosts preparing to eat, saving it for Bridgette. I keep scanning for her straight brown hair and grey piercing eyes, but I see none.

"Where is she? I don't understand!" I say, still shooing the other spirits.

"I do. I've only seen this once before…" his eyes seem sad and I only hope for the worst.

"What? Tell me!" I demand. Nico sighs for a second and stands up.

"Bridgette isn't dead." Rubbing his palms together.

"Well that's great!" I say, excited and jumping for joy

"But that's the thing!" Nico seems angry now, so I stop jumping to stare at him.

"What then?" I ask quietly.

"It also means…she isn't alive…"
