Hola amigos! ¿Como estois hoy? Estoy bien. ;) I had to get that out of my system. Okay then! In case you didn't know, I just said hi guys, how're you all doing? I'm doing well! :) Anyways, I'll get on with it. Thanks for the reviews, I enjoyed reading the ones for the last chapter. They were all pretty entertaining. :) Yes, the Snow White thing was a subtle reference to Once Upon a Time (although StoryBrook is in Maine, it's close enough). Just so you know, I'm only on episode 6 season 1, so NO SPOILERS! I get enough from my sister, who has hours on end to watch OUAP, while I have practically five minutes in front of a TV when I'm not doing anything and I'm alone. Anyways, I own nothing, but (say it with me!) please enjoy this chapter! ;)

I am the Queen of Cliffhangers! (I love that nickname! Thanks haybop!) I shall always give out a generous amount of cliffhangers to keep all my loyal followers in suspense! :) Get used to it.

Aaron's POV (just cause he's the best eight year old around)

We were all standing in the room covered in blood, listening to blood-curdling screams echoing down a dark hallway. I was trying to block my nose so the nauseating smells would not bother me any more, but it was extremely difficult. I could smell it through my fingers. Ew, just ew.

I was focusing on the blood on the floor, wondering where in hell it all came from (because that was a lot of blood), when a movement caught my eye. Piper, my older sister in all but blood, ran into the dark hallway where the screams were coming from.

"Piper!" I yelled to her, which she ignored. Fortunately, it alerted everyone else to what was going on. Unfortunately, no body knew what the hell was going on. Shit had hit the fan, but nobody realized where the shit had gone. (It went where no shit had gone before, and probably shouldn't go.)

I was the only one that saw what Piper did, and where she went. What're the odds? I wanted to give a sarcastic comment, but unless I felt like screaming every word at the top of my lungs (which I did not), then I would not have been heard by any of my "friends". Some friends these people are.

I quickly ran through the possibilities in my head. Do I want to act it out to get them to understand? Do I scream at the top of my lungs? Do I try to be telepathic and communicate my thoughts in their heads? Can children of Hephaestus do that? (Don't crush my dreams by saying no, people.)

Damn them. I thought to myself. I made up my mind. Following the entirely positive role model of Piper, I too dashed off into the darkness of the strange hallway.

My first thought was that it was really cold in the hallway. My second was that of course it was cold; I was in the home of the snow goddess. Plus, she's evil. Maybe the penthouse mirrors her heart: Frozen. (Not like the Disney movie. It would be pretty stupid of her heart was Frozen as in the Disney movie.) That thought bubble in the back of my mind opened up a whole series of thoughts, most of them related to Frozen in some way.

Want to hear some examples? Of course you do. This isn't school, so I doubt anyone is forcing you to ready anything. Oops, wait, now I am. Haha.

One Frozen-related thought: little girls love Frozen, right? So what would that do if Khione comes along, and says she's the snow goddess? Would they get all girly going "OMG it's Elsa!" And then would Khione blast them to bits for not knowing her name? Or would the girls yell at Khione for not looking like Elsa, and would they still get blasted to bits? Or would they run and scream, and maybe still get blasted to bits? After all, Khione does not have a heart.

And that was a moment with Aaron. See you next week, folks!

Just kidding. Back to me, running blindly through a cold and dark hallway. I was thinking about why it was so cold (read the last few paragraphs above for more information).

Fom behind me me I heard footsteps rapidly approaching. I didn't slow down to let the catch up, but apparently I'm not all that fast. It obviously can't have anything to do with the fact that they people are all twice my age (at least). Or at least what they'll say to defend themselves.

Now I was running with the rest of my teammates. Look at that, they do care! How sweet.

As a pack, we all ran down hallways, following Piper. What in the name of hell was she thinking, anyways? I need to have a word with her later.

Eventually, we got to a flight of stairs. They all saw Piper sprint up them two at a time, yet they all stood there like morons. Even Thalia, who looked like she had died standing up and was somehow stop breathing.

For a moment, none of them did anything, the bunch of idiots they are. So I looked them all in the eye, simply said, "Damn you," then ran up the stairs as fast as my feet could take me.

I had just made it to the top of the stairs when the door at the end of the hallway, strangely lit up, gently swung closed. Before it closed all the way, I caught a brief glimpse of a lock of choppy brown hair was an eagle feather tied to the end. Piper was locked in.

Thats when the rest of the idiots decided to join.

"Where'd she go?" Jason asked me.

I looked at him long and hard. "You're a douche."
