Why, hello there. Another update! Sorry that this chapter is so short, but that just means that you guys get another update sooner! Yay! Now to Percy with a message!

Percy: Well, DaughterOfGaea doesn't own me or Annabeth, because I'm sure that she wouldn't throw us into Tartarus.

Me: That's right! Stupid Rick Riordan and his cliffhangers... but only 3 days until the House of Hades! Percabeth might get out!

Percy/Annabeth: YAY! *skips merrily through Tartarus*

Sadie

HAZEL SEEMED NICE.

She escorted me to the supply room where she gave me some fresh clothes and then sent me to the bathroom to change. My clothes were all wrinkled and dirty from rolling on the deck of the ship. And my hair- I think it's best that I don't even describe it. I had been given a pair of jeans that surprisingly fit just like my old ones (I guessed that they were enchanted to fit perfectly) and a purple t-shirt that read "SPQR" in gold letters. I slipped back on my combat boots and found Hazel waiting for me in the hall.

"So," I said, "are you really a daughter of Hades?"

"Not exactly," she answered. Her golden eyes seemed to glitter as she moved. "I like to think of myself as a daughter of Pluto- Hades's Roman form."

"Ok," I muttered. "Why do you guys keep switching up the Greek and Roman stuff?"

"Are you ready for a long story?" she asked.

"Possibly," I answered. [What? It seemed like it would be more interesting than one of your boring "around the world" stories, Carter.]

"Well," Hazel started, "about a year ago, Jason and another guy, Percy, were switched up by Juno- or Hera- whichever you prefer. Percy was originally from Camp Half- Blood, the Greek camp, and Jason was from Camp Jupiter, the Roman camp. Greeks and Romans have been enemies for centuries, so the camps were on other sides of the country: Greeks in New York, and Romans in California. Juno had taken Jason to the Greeks and Percy to the Romans to bring the camps together, and had taken both their memories away. So that's how this all started. Frank and I had come from Camp Jupiter, and Piper, Leo, Nico, and Annabeth, another missing passenger, had all come from Camp Half-Blood."

"Oh… sounds confusing," I said.

"Tell me about it," Hazel laughed. I could feel a good friendship brewing. "I had always wondered if there were other people like me out there, and since we found the Greeks, I was even more interested. But now I've been answered," Hazel said. "I wondered," she continued, "if being a magician is dangerous. I mean, coming from a demigod, 'danger' has to be pretty bad."

"Well, it is very bad," I said. "First you get your dad killed, then you get possessed, and suddenly you find yourself with a chicken body and fighting an evil red snake."

Hazel took a moment of silence to process that. "Okay, bad. I stand corrected," she said. We both laughed. "Come on," Hazel said, "let's go find Leo and your brother. Gods know what they're doing."

I laughed with her, but one thing was still bothering me: the two missing people named Percy and Annabeth.

tra-la-la-la-la... yay! Hazel and Sadie friendship! Next chapter you will find out what Leo and Carter have been doing this whole time. I will give you a hint: it involves twins, fire, and a bathroom. Oh, stop it with your dirty minds.

Please review! I will keep taking votes for new stories until next Saturday!
