Okay, this is the 9th chapter in the 7 half-bloods. I'm sorry, but I had to rewrite it and I don't have the net or the flash drive I stored the other chapters on. So, I have to rewrite the 9th, 10th, and 11th chapter. I have a lot to write, don't I? Plus, this is when I am extremely tired at two in the morning. Stupid jetlag won't let me sleep, so I decided to be nice and write three chapters in two hours for you. I already wrote the 10 and 11th chapters and this one will take me five seconds. I think. You know, I think I might have to go back and rewrite all my chapters. Lucky me, uh?

We prepared for the Sirens. We knew they would be soon coming.
I plugged my ears with wax. So did the others.
All of us, except for Mallory, who went to get food, went into the innermost cabin. I would control the water from the inside.
I put up a bunch of carpets and towels around the cabin. It was almost soundproof.
We sat for a while. Then, when Melanie said it was safe, we went out.
We looked around. Suddenly…
"Where's Mallory?" asked Melanie.
We looked around. Where is Mallory?
Melanie listened for her mind. When she finally found it, her face went gray.
"What happened Melanie? What HAPPENED?" I shook her as hard as I could.
She faced me.
"It's Mallory. She's drowned." said Melanie.
With those words, the whole future of my quest changed.
"You're mistaken Melanie. She's probably on this ship. Adonis, you have that necklace thingy. Track Mallory!" I said.
He tapped his necklace three times and whispered Mallory. He appeared to listen to something then nodded his head.
He faced me.
"Melanie is right Mia. She's drowned, on the bottom of the ocean floor." he said.
"You're lying. Hera doesn't like us, so she tricked us. I'll contact Iris!" I said.
I threw a drachma into the mist behind the boat.
"Oh Iris, please accept my offer. Show us Mallory!" I said.
I saw a girl on the bottom of the ocean floor. She was grey.
"That must be someone else." I said.
Teddy put his hand on my shoulder.
"Mia, calm. I know it is hard for you to accept this, but it is the truth. She's dead. DEAD! Accept it. Right now she is being evaluated." said Teddy.
Adonis glared at Teddy. He shrugged. I shook my head and then went to my cabin. I stayed there and nobody bothered me.
MelPOV
I looked after Mia. Poor girl. She had serious trust issues. And that is her fatal flaw.
The Sirens themselves told me.
Now. What are we going to do about food?
MPOV
I went to the galley with my eyes close. I opened a cabinet and grabbed an apple. I bit into it and chewed some bits. I swallowed, then paused. I opened my eyes.
Guess what? No apple.
"Shit! Now what am I going to eat?" I said.
I opened all the cabinets. No food, no food, no food! Nothing to eat, what am I going to do?
"MELANIE!" I shouted.
"Yes." she said from behind me.
I turned around. Nobody was there. I went back to shouting for Melanie.
"What?" she said.
I looked and saw Melanie. I jumped back five feet.
"Oh, sorry Mia. I decided to test out my cap. You like?" she said.
"Melanie! You just about gave me a heart attack! Don't do that again." I said.
"Whatever. I can if I want." she said.
"So what are we going to do about food?" I asked.
"Mallory will-" she started.
She paused.
"We will dock somewhere and get food." she said.
(two days later)
"MELANIE! There is no island within fifty nautical miles of her. It will take five hours to get there!" I shouted at her. We haven't had food for two days.
"Don't worry about that, Mia. We will get food tomorrow at least." she said.
I glared at her and so did the rest of the quest members. We all went to our respective cabins and sat there.
(later. Much later)
"Land Ahoy!" shouted Melanie.
So doesn't work for you. I thought.
I walked onto top deck. The others were gathered there. We saw an island. I called to the boat to dock. It did and we walked onto land.
We walked to our doom.
Love it? Hate it?
I thought the end was pretty good, wasn't it? If you don't think do, flame me, I don't care. Should I?
Well, I am sorry for the short chapter. But you should see how short the 12th chapter is. It is even shorter than this. But I promise that I will write a longer chapter. You know, I was thinking I might make this 13 chapters. Unlucky, I know, but II don't want to have to write two more chapters. I'll just write another one.
