Enjoy Chapter 12.

Sorry about the mistake I made in the last chapter. I meant to say that Percy helped Leo fix the wall, not Jason.

I usually don't have much to say at the beginning of chapters, since I don't have that many news or anything really to reply to reviews, and neither do I do a skit for the disclaimer thing, but this time I do have some news.

In the first week of April, I'll be going to Italy for a vacation, so I won't be updating this story in that time. Just a heads-up.

Now you can start reading chapter 12, well, after this disclaimer anyways.

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians and/or The Heroes of Olympus.

The Gods Freak out (For the six hundredth and sixty sixth time!)

(Frank)

After the gods came back from (sort of) saving Mt. Olympus, they were tired, and ready to jump on anybody who annoyed them. That was probably the reason why they nearly disintegrated Nico when he asked the gods whether or not they saved Mt. Olympus. This would've been funny until I accidentally allowed a small giggle escape my lips.

That's the reason why I'm currently sitting in the infirmary with all four limbs broken, plus about fourteen more broken bones, and a concussion. The gods are really freaking out these days, which is not good. Even Athena, who's usually able to maintain a calm, cool manner, is somewhat snappy and shows a lot of emotion these days. It's unlike her.

Fortunately Hazel visited me. It's always nice when your (sort of) girlfriend comes and sees you when you are injured. Unfortunately, my injury was not a heroic cause, and I did not fight hard. My injury was actually because I was an idiot, and a dozen or so superbeings whipped my butt. However, I could tell Hazel wasn't really talking to me or anything. I was telling her about what the gods did and she just kept on "uh-huh"-ing until I got the point that she wasn't listening to me. I knew she was thinking about Leo. I like Leo, he's a great guy, and under any other circumstance I would want to be a good friend of his. Now, I just wanted him to die a painful death, and go burn in Hades. Not nice of me, but hey, I'm a jealous bas*ard. (A/N I hope T means there can be some minor foul language…)

Anyways, Percy came in too.

"Hey, how's the uhhh… entire body?" he offered.

"Fine. Can I ask you a question?"

"Well, you already did, but go on."

"What do you do to make a girl like you?"

"Why would you ask me that question?"

"Well, it seems like all the ladies like you."

"Really? No they don't."

"Yeah… they kind of do. I mean think. Annabeth. Rachel. Kinzie. Reyna."

"Don't you dare say any of that to Jason or else he's going to freak."

"Worried?"

"Frank, you're the one lying in bed disabled. I would suggest you shut up and start obeying what I say, or else you might find yourself in a more painful position than you already are."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"I don't think so, there's only so much pain I can take."

Needless to say, I got knocked out, in the end. That was partially because I can't imagine any animal that can do anything when they have all their limbs broken or fractured.

(Hazel)

I didn't realize that Frank knew something was up with me until it was too late. I had already left the infirmary when Percy found me and told me what Frank had said. At least, what he had said before Percy knocked him out, for which I almost dueled Percy in a sword fight. Anyways, I wished I hadn't been so thoughtless and actually listened to what Frank said. I was wandering when the boy in my thoughts came up to me.

"Hey Hazel, you're looking a bit weird, are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm f-fine." Dang, I still can't talk in front of Leo without stuttering. I was going to have to work on that, or else more people other than Frank and Percy were bound to find out about my secret.

"You sure, because it looks like you're in a distant land and not even hearing or seeing me."

"Do I look like that? Sorry about that." Yes! I didn't stutter, although it took some effort.

"Kinda… So how's Frank?"

"Pretty beaten up, but I'm pretty sure he'll live."

"Can you tell me why he's so scared of me?"

I didn't expect him to ask a question like that, so I hesitated a little before answering.

"He isn't afraid of you Leo, he's afraid of your fire."

"Why?"

"It's kinda personal, and I wouldn't tell you unless Frank gave you or me permission to tell you. No offense."

"None taken, I understand."

"Have the walls been fixed?"

"Mostly, although some of the exterior parts of it still have scorch marks, and some parts are still broken. It's going to take a while to…"

At which point two things happened. One, I got caught in another flashback, and two, the alarm bell started ringing.

(Leo)

The alarm turned out to be a false alarm. Thankfully, the army that the watchmen had seen was just gathering in the distance, not attacking us. That was good, until the enemy army actually attacked us. Meanwhile, my thoughts turned to Hazel. I knew sometimes my talks were boring, but I never expected someone to fall asleep while I was talking. I didn't know the truth until some time later, when suddenly she disappeared, just like that. I searched frantically all around for any sign of her, but she was just gone. One moment she was there, the next there was no sign of her. Where could she have possibly gone?"

(Narrator Form)

Hazel got sucked into the past, this time, literally. It was the day that she and Sammy had gone horse-back riding. (A/N: I hope this is what they did. It's all that I can recollect about Sammy in the Son of Neptune.) Sammy had that cute smile, the same as the one Leo had. He had just finished praising Hazel about her very nice riding skills, and then leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. It made her cheeks burn, but she thought that it was the best day of her life. At least, that was until Sammy left, and Hazel was walking home, when she remembered what she had to endure for another night. Her mother was possessed by some spirit, her father had disappeared when she was young. She remembered that this was the day she died. She was not looking forward to reliving that particular memory again.

I added some narrator form so that I could add a few parts about Sammy, since some people do want a revisit of the past.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if not interested.

We won't be seeing much of Hazel, partly because so many people have said that Nico isn't the seventh, and that one child of Pluto/Hades was enough. Now, there's still an open spot. Who's going to be the seventh?

Guess in your reviews! You may guess something like "A New Character."
