AN: Hello! Happy Labor Day weekend! Whoo! Long weekend! And it was sunny today! It's been raining every day for the past two weeks, which is REALLY odd as it's usually dry and sunny. Anyways, enjoy and review!

Hazel's POV:
My dreams, as usual, were terrible. I was somewhere, somewhere I didn't recognize. That was pretty normal, most places didn't look the same way they did in the 1940s. A monster locked eyes with me. Oh my gods. This guy's face! It was the ugliest, most disgusting thing I'd seen, like, ever. I couldn't really see his body, but his feet looked like those of a bird.
"Surrender your quest." The repulsive creature hissed. He snapped his fingers, and the scene changed. Everyone I ever cared about was bloody and deadly pale, lying on the ground. "Do you want this to happen? All of them are young, too young to die. You, of all people, should know this. Surrender your quest, and maybe you and your friends will be spared."
"I've heard that all too many times." I said with as much courage as I could muster.
"Well that's a pity. It would be a shame to die twice, wouldn't it?" The monster lunged towards me with his sword. My blood turned to ice. Could you die in a dream? Honestly, I didn't want to take the risk. I tried to summon any sort of weapon. Nothing worked, time seemed to slow down.
"Hazel! Hazel!" I snapped into reality.
Frank stood over me. "Are you okay? I heard you screaming."
"You're alive! Is everyone else okay?"
"I'm pretty sure they are. What happened?"
He put his arm around me, and I explained my dream.
"Maybe he was just trying to threaten you. There's no way that creepy guy could sneak in here and take everyone."
"Okay."
He gazed at the clock. "We should probably wake everyone else up. They've slept for eight hours."
"Yeah."
Frank got up and went back to his room. I changed, and went to wake up Abby. "Hey, wake up." I shook her gently.
"Huh, what?" Abby looked at me and smiled. "All right! It's morning!" She jumped out of bed and ran to get dressed.
Soon, we had all twelve of our quest members awake and ready to go. We grabbed some breakfast from the buffet, and I decided not to ask about the crocodile and baboon fast asleep in the main room.
"You guys ready?" Jason asked.
"Yeah." We decided that Carter, Zia, and Abby got Freak. Sadie and Walt would share Frank's pegasus, and Frank would turn into an eagle and fly along. Walt had offered to summon camels, but Sadie had immediately protested, muttering something about her hair not being food. I didn't want to know.
"Remember," Carter looked at Sadie. "If anything happens, Isis-er- Iris message us."
"Yeah. I will."
"Good luck!"
I took a last glance at my friends, and we headed for the South exit.
