Happy Hazel Day!
Hazel has always been one of the really cool characters of the Heroes of Olympus series. She has a great back story and AWESOME powers. I don't own PJO and all rights go to uncle rick. So now here we go with the first day of the countdown
"Nico! Nico wake up!" Hazel yelled shaking awake a sleeping nico.
Nico however, was panting and crying in his sleep. His eyes shot open to see hazels face above his, filled with worry.
"Oh my gods, nico. Are you all right?" She asked while pulling him up to a hug.
Nico still shaking sat up and hugged her back.
"I'm fine Hazel." He said a little more confidently.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Hazel genuinely concerned had asked, but looking in nico's eyes she already knew what happened. "You were dreaming about her won't you? About Bianca?" she then separated from the hug.
Nico looked down awkwardly. "I'm sorry"
"Don't be." She said sighing.
Hazel wasn't mad its just that since the war ended all nico seemed to have was nightmares. She knew that something was wrong and after Hazel and Frank went back to California. Hades was sure to take her back to the underworld but why hadn't he?
"N-nico?"
"Yeah?" nico looked up.
"Why haven't I been taken back to the underworld yet? I mean our dad surely knows what happened right? And all the dead that left have all been returned except…me. I just don't understand why."
Nico took a shaky breath and rubbed his neck.
"Listen Hazel," he sighed, "When dad was gathering everyone that left he noticed you were gone he was going to send you back right away. I had been down there to help and in return he was going to tell me about…"
He painfully closed his eyes. Then opened them slowly.
"About my mom. I saw that you were going to be taken back there and I couldn't let him do that to you. Not after all that you've done for the gods. You didn't deserve it." He said angrily.
"What did you do?" almost not wanting to know.
"He told me that he would let you stay but only if I came to help him out in the underworld."
Hazel's eyes started to water.
"when?" she asked in a whisper.
"I'm leaving in three days. I'll be there for around a year."
"What!? Nico no I cant ask you to do this!" Hazel practically screamed. How could Nico possibly do this?
Hazel stood up to run straight up to Hades and beg him to let Nico go, but then Nico grabbed her wrist. Pulling her back to him.
Nico looked straight into her eyes and without even a since of doubt in him he said, "No Hazel! I've already lost a sister once and I cant let that happen again. I wasn't even sure Bianca loved me, I mean she left me to never see me again without even saying goodbye. But Hazel I know you love me and you're so amazing, I couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to lose you."
Hazel burst into tears and collapsed in his arms.
"I don't want to be without you…" she cried.
"Listen you can iris message me whenever you want and Frank will take care of you if you ever need anything." Nico said grabbing her face in his hands cleaning her tears away.
After a few moments of tense silence Hazel sighed, "You have to promise me you will come back. Ive had so many people leave to never come back"
Nico took a shaky breath. He thought back to the first time he met Hazel. He finally thought he could be with a sister again and that she wouldn't leave. He brought her to Camp Jupiter and then Percy showed up and became her friend. Hazel became one of the seven in the prophecy and Nico was so worried that he was going to lose someone else important to him.
"I promise."
Okay guys. That was kind of depressing but I wanted to make something that would be a little different for each oneshot.
By the way tomorrow is Jason day (according to the tumblr tag anyway)
Don't forget to review what you thought and favorite this story to keep up with it until BoO comes out and then I will probably be off of the internet like everyone else for a month…
Byyyye
