Hazel

Hazel knew that it was going to be a bad day from the minute she woke up. She had a nightmare which was not wierd if you were a demigod. Demigods always had nightmares. The bad thing was that they were rarely inaccurate. She dreamed about her brother Nico. Nico had chains around his hands and his ankles. He was trying to free himself and Hazel could see blood on his lips. "Don't worry Nico we'll save you" Hazel said. "Hazel is that you" Nico asked with hope. "Be careful in Rome. Gaea is planning to" the picture then got distorted and she could not hear anything. Hazel figured that she was in a dark place because all she could see is black. "Where am I" Hazel said nervously. Hazel thought that she was alone until she saw a hideous face behind her. "It doesn't matter where you are. I am here to tell you that you should give up. Join me and I will not hurt you or your brother" Gaea said. "I will die before I join you" Hazel yelled to her.

Hazel fell to her knees and she experienced pain that she had never experienced as she yelled in agony. "This is nothing compared to what you are up against" Gaea said. "Hazel wake up. Hazel wake up." Frank yelled. Hazel opened her eyes to see Frank. She hugged Frank without thinking. Frank held her as Hazel cried in his arms. Hazel was glad that she could feel her legs again. "Did you have a nightmare" Frank asked as he comforted her. Hazel nodded her head. Hazel felt like she couldn't speak. Hazel struggled as she tried to talk "They have Nico. They captured him."

"Don't worry we'll get him back. Try to get some sleep. We have a long day tomorrow " Frank said as he laid her on her bed. Hazel was afraid that she would have more nightmares so sleep didn't come easy. Hazel woke up at 7:00 a. found Frank in the other bed still sleeping. "Frank we're leaving in two hours so wake up" Hazel said as she woke up Frank. Frank got dressed and went to breakfast with Hazel. "What was your nightmare about" Frank asked. "Well it was about Nico. He was in chains and he tried to warn me about something that Gaea would do in Rome. He didn't get to tell me what she would do because then Gaea interrupted. She told me to give up and join her" Hazel said as Frank tried to take in all the information. Frank didn't know what to say so he stayed quiet until they arrived at the breakfast table.

They found Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Leo, and Piper. Piper looked terrible. Her hair was messy and she looked like she hadn't slept at all. "What happened to you" Frank asked Piper. "I had a nightmare and I couldn't go to sleep" Piper said as she yawned. "What was your nightmare about" Hazel asked curiously. She thought that it would connect with her nightmare. "It was about Nico and Gaea. They had Nico in chains and the giants were talking about some plan that Gaea had invented to kill us in Rome. I didn't get to hear it but I did hear something. The giants said that someone would betray us in the trip to Rome. Then I woke up" Piper said. "Well I had a nightmare that was similar to that" Hazel said as she told her version of the dream. No one knew what to say. They were all thinking about the quest that layed ahead of them.

"We should go to the ArgoII" Leo said after everyone had finished their breakfast. Everyone headed to the ship without saying a word. "Romans please make your way into the ArgoII. All campers who don't board the ship will be left behind. This is a message from the Supreme Commander of the ArgoII" Leo said from a speaker. Everyone boarded the ship as Leo told them what room they were in. "Take off is in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0" Leo said in the speaker as the ArgoII lifted off the ground. Hazel could see how happy Percy was of seeing Camp Half-Blood.
