"There is no fairness in Death. If you free me, I will do my duty." - Thanatos, Son of Neptune

The new, shadowed moon was at its peak in the sky, although no one could truly tell. The night was pitch black over the city and no stars could be seen. A deadly silence had fallen as each resident lye asleep in their beds. At least until a mighty wind blew and entered a small window in an apartment building.

As the wind ceased, a lean dark-skinned man wearing a sleeveless black tunic belted around the waist appeared, spreading out his blue, black, and purple wings. His face was stern as he stepped closer to the right of the full-sized bed. A brunette was laying on her side, her eyes closed as her breaths came in and out slowly. The man reached out a hand and tapped her shoulder.

The woman's eyelids lifted slowly, and she let out a small yelp as she saw the winged man. "Wha - how - why, Death?" she stammered as she sat up.

"Your father has called me to take you back to the Underworld, Hazel Levesque," the dark-skinned man stated simply. "I do not know why he has, but it is your time now."

Hazel blinked in surprise, and glanced at the muscular male behind her who was snoring lightly. "But... I... I want to at least say goodbye." She moved her hand and placed it on the Chinese man's arm.

Death folded his wings, sighing heavily. "I've said this so many times, and you've heard me say this too: There is no fairness in Death. It comes when it comes and is truly inevitable." He walked toward to the window where he had entered and watched with his honey-gold eyes as she kissed the forehead of her lover. She pulled the blanket off of her as she stood up in her light blue pajamas.

"Come on, Levesque," the man hissed. "You can't keep Death waiting for too long."

Hazel sighed, and shifted her gaze to the desk beside her, fixing her eyes on a black pen and the sheets of paper behind it. "Let me do something first, Thanatos," she murmured as she picked up the pen and pulled a paper, beginning to write. Letters and words flew onto the papers quickly, although she took some seconds to think what to say next. She used up seven sheets, folded each one and wrote who it was addressed to.

Thanatos began to tap his foot impatiently until she whispered, "Now I can go with you." She walked toward the man, wiping a tear from her eye. Another gust of wind blew, and the two were gone.

Frank blinked his eyes open as sunlight streamed in through an open window in the apartment. "Was the window open when we fell asleep?" he asked, turning to his side to realize no one was there.

"I guess you're already awake, Hazel," he murmured as he slowly got out of bed and walked outside. He opened the door and an odd silence seemed to fill the air.

"Hazel?" he called out, and turned the knob that opened to an empty restroom. He walked around the apartment, calling out the name of his lover multiple times, more and more panic creeping into his voice each time. She never leaves without me without notice... At that thought, he rushed back to the bedroom and found seven folded papers one on top of the other. How did I miss that? he wondered, but the letters on the top paper read "To Percy, From Hazel".

Frank put that sheet to the side, finding that the next said "To Annabeth, From Hazel". He looked at who each belonged to, and wondered what was going on. I need to tell the others, was the next thought that entered his mind. He found several drachmas, which he had been given from Annabeth and Piper.

A rainbow had already illuminated on the wall as the light bounced off of a small diamond on a counter. He murmured, "O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering" before tossing the coin.

After sending an Iris Message to his friends, they all gathered at the apartment with a general idea of what has happened. As they all gathered, Frank spoke up first. "So, I've already said that Hazel has disappeared without a trace and left seven letters: one to Percy, one to Annabeth, one to Reyna, one to Piper, one to Leo, one to Nico, and one to me."

All of the assembled people nodded in agreement, and Frank continued. "I'm going to give each of you your own letter from Hazel, and you can just read it on your own - "

"But I wonder what Hazel would have to say to the rest of you guys," a skinny Hispanic man interrupted. "I get that it should probably be private, but you guys must have the same curiosity."

A blonde woman rolled her eyes. "Leo, these are personal messages from Hazel to the rest of us."

"But I do wonder..." a raven-haired man murmured. "Maybe we can do a vote on whether to read it aloud and hear what she says to the rest of us or just keep it to ourselves?"

Frank blinked, but nodded slowly. "If you want to keep it private, raise your hand."

Three hands rose from the seven gathered - one belonging to the blonde woman, one of a woman with braided hair, and one belonging to a ghostly pale man. Frank nodded and continued, "If you want to hear what the other letters say, raise your hand."

Three other hands rose from the group, and Frank's hand raised slowly as well. "You can keep it private if you wish, but let's start with Percy's letter."

Percy nodded as he unfolded his letter, and opened his mouth to begin.

This is the pilot for Hazel's Seven Letters. I know that I'm missing out Jason, Will, Calypso, and others, but here are some reasons why. Jason died, I don't think Will is too close to her (I haven't read Trials of Apollo yet), and I don't think Calypso and her were close, unless something in the books happened that I don't know about. Anyway, what are your thoughts so far? It was just a random thought that entered my head yesterday and I thought that I should try it. Remember, the review, follow, and favorite buttons love you!
