The passage to the doors was longer than any of the demigods thought.

They were taking their second break for food.

When leaving the Argo, they estimated that the cavernous tunnel was only a couple of miles long.

They even were celebrating the two day early arrival at the doors of death. Well, not that early anymore. Hazel figured out that the closer they go to the doors, the farther it moved away.

Leo, being the son of Hephaestus that he is, managed to create a small passage using a cornucopia, the Archimedes sphere, and the power of a small weasel. Frank wasn't too happy about being the weasel.

The corridor was still long and treacherous, but at least they were still getting somewhere. With all the physical and emotional strain on these demigods, all of them were tired out.

With Nico and Jason not talking to each other from a previous fight about the wellbeing of their friends, Percy and Annabeth; and the awkward trio of Leo, hazel and frank constantly glaring and staring at each other, Piper felt like she was the only sane person on board.

Though, most of the crew was convinced of the others insanity. For days other than an occasional 'thanks' or 'ok' mumbled under their breath, none of them have really talked. Even one of our favorite chatter boxes, Leo Valdez.

Everyone wanted to speak to each other, there just wasn't much to say. Frank really wanted to talk to Hazel for the past couple of days, but every time he saw her she was busy or hanging out with the Greek, Leo.

Jason wanted piper to say something first, but she wanted him to come and talk to her. Nico really didn't care. He just wanted to have some time to go over everything that has happened so far.

Coach Hedge was trying to get them to speak for the first couple of days, but the just realized they wouldn't listen to him in that way. He was reluctant to stay on board and guard the ship, but did so anyways.

But then, while taking their small lunch break, something unknown to them just burst in Hazel, the usually calm daughter of Pluto, when she all of the sudden stood up with item spilling off of her lap; yelled with her hands placed on her hips,

"What on earth is wrong with you people?!"

But the sudden motion and sound, most of the demigods jumped in their earthen seats. Many wide eyes stared at the curly haired demigod as she continued.

"I'm about sick with all of this silence! Is anyone even going to say anything!? All of you keep ignoring to major factors of what might happen today! Are you people insane? If no one will even give me a straight answer ill just try to find the doors on my own!"

The teenagers sat silently, mouths gaping and the violent sounding thirteen year old.

Hazel waited patiently for about a minute with only the sound of breath to accompany her wait, huffed an almost silent breath, and grabbed a torch and backpack and head off.

The others were desperately waiting for the others to say something, but no sound came out. From the spot of light in the distance they all heard clearly,

"Have fun dying the likes of all of you. I know I certainly didn't."

And saw the light go around a corner and leave. After about fifteen minutes of blank and ashamed looks, Leo stood up.

And without a word, used his power over pyro kinesis and lit up and hand jogged after the girl who left them. They heard him shout to Hazel to wait for him.

Piper lifted her head and glared at the boys sharply but stopped when she heard a scream in the distance.

A scream that was distinctly Hazel Levesque's.
