AN. Okay, the title of this chapter is called "Till Death Do Us Part", this is not a wedding and it has nothing to do with a wedding! They are far to young! Just saying if that scared you away or something. Also, thank you so much you lovely reviewers! I love you all!

Chapter 11, Till Death Do Us Part

As we run to Hazel's room, we hear Gaea's mocking voice singing "Come get me little brats!"

Frank scowls.

"Don't worry man" I say. "She has been doing this my whole life, I know how to deal with her."

We hear an ice cold laugh.

"Do you really think that, do you?" We hear. We turn and see Hazel smiling wickedly and holding a knife "Oh yes, I do this a lot, it's my technique on only you, son of fire."

"So what? Are you going to change your technique now?" Frank asks.

"No, I am just going to take it up a notch" Gaea sneers. Frank growls and takes his bow off from his back.

"Oh, are you going to hurt your x-girlfriend?" Gaea sneers, imitating Hazel's voice.

"If I have to" Frank growls.

"You promised!" I yell.

"Yeah, well, how do I know these memories aren't real? For all I know, Hazel could be evil" Frank says.

"She isn't! Up until a few months ago she was head over heels in love with you and you loved her! Please remember Frank! I love her! I love her!" I say.

"I don't even care; in these memories she tried to kill me! She has hurt me! I can't even look at her without wanting to kill her! I just can't Leo, you have to stop everyone because I can't" Frank says.

"Than leave!" I yell. "If you leave than you won't hurt anyone! So just go!"

Frank looks hurt and surprised, but he drops his bow and runs away.

Gaea laughs. "What a stupid excuse for a warrior."

"Let her go" I say.

"No" Gaea says.

"Please" I say.

"I told you, I have a doubt to pay to my son" Gaea says.

"Than take me" I sigh.

"You?" Gaea asks.

"Yeah, if you let her go, you can take me" I say.

"Alright" Gaea says. She smiles and the life seems to leave Hazel's body as she falls to the ground.

"Haze!" I cry, running to her shivering body.

"Leo" Hazel coughs.

"Hazel, when you feel okay, I need you to help me. I don't know how much more time I have, but I got Gaea to let you go" I say.

"Leo, you...you didn't" Hazel says.

"Yeah, Gaea said she'd let you go...if I took your place" I say.

"Leo! No!" Hazel says, with tears sprouting in her eyes. "I had it under control, I almost had control again!"

"What?" I ask.

"There's no use now, she's almost gone from my body" Hazel cries.

"I'm so sorry" I say.

"I love you, Leo Valdez" Hazel says.

"I love you to, Hazel Levesque" I say. I feel something in my stomach, it feels soft for a second, than it grows. It feels like it's about to explode, I feel like it's been cut open and people are taking away my heart.

"I love you " I say again. At first I hear Hazel screaming, than that drains out until I can only hear than sound of Gaea laughing. I close my eyes, and than it's dark. Only dark

Hazel POV

I start to cry madly. Why him? Why Leo? I only just survived Gaea. Leo is to sweet, he'll let her take him over.

Leo flinches. Oh gods, her she comes...

I get up and walk behind and dark corner. I stop crying and wipe my tear stained face. I know this is know time to show any emotion. I need to fight Gaea in a different way. I need to be smart. I can't injure Leo's body, that'd kill him. No. I need to use my words. Not like Piper would...I need to out smart the earth. Can I do that?

I hear Gaea laughing.

I walk out from behind the wall. If I fail at this, it means the end of the world...maybe. But if I fail, there is no one to save Piper, Jason, Nico and Coach. And if they all die, only one side of the doors will be closed and Percy and Annabeth would be locked inside...forever. I shake that feeling from my mind. No, I am not going to think like this. Everyone needs me right now and frankly, I need them so I have to save them even if it means my death.

"Hey, Leo" I say. Gaea raises an eyebrow. Her eyes are green instead of Leo's eyes that are a coffee brown.

"Hello, child" Gaea growls.

"I was wondering if you'd like to start that steering partner thing today?" I ask.

"No, I believe that today shall be your death. Fear me child! I have killed Leo Valdez! He is gone, he was far to kind and let me take him over, unlike you, Hazel Levesque."

"Tha-" I say remembering something. "That's what you said to Leo! When you were controlling me, you said that I was gone...Leo isn't gone just like I wasn't! He is still in there! Hold on, Leo, hold on! I'm coming to get you!"

"Oh, so you think that your stronger than the earth?" Gaea laughs.

"No, but I'm stronger than you. You aren't the earth, you're the earths spirit. The earth died when you fell asleep. Your still asleep. Leo and I are stronger than you" I say.

Gaea laughs.

"Okay you psychopathic evil lady and I could go all out but I am too polite, take someone else. Kill me! Kill me! Leave my friend alone! I don't care if he told me to stop you! Kill me!" I scream.

Gaea laughs even harder. "Demigods just get stupider and stupider! A little dead girl, thirteen for goodness sake! Thinks she can overcome the world. You are just as stupid as the boy. If I kill you, than some of my leverage is gone. I won't kill you...yet, but if you died it wouldn't matter. So little demigod, you can't do anything to stop me! I know you won't kill Leo Valdez. And if you kill him, it won't kill me. I just told the child that to manipulate him and see if he'd kill you once and for all. So child, the only thing you can do is kill Leo Valdez and set me back a bit."

I freeze. This can not be true. I open my mouth to say something than close it. Before I can do anything a dagger comes flying out of no where and hits Leo straight in the chest. He falls to the ground.

"LEO!" I scream running to him.

Leo opens his eyes...their brown again.

"Hazel" Leo says.

"Leo...are...are you okay?" I ask.

"Want the truth?" Leo asks.

"Always" I say.

"No Haze, I'm not" Leo says.

"No, no! Leo, you're okay! We can take you to sickbay!" I say.

"Sickbay can't save me" Leo laughs. "Haze, steer the ship away from here, go as far as possible. Try to get to Camp Jupiter or camp Half-Blood. You could get us to Greece, but our best opinion is going back to Camp. It's the safest thing to do. I know that you'll survive that way."

"Please don't go, Le" I say. My eyes fill with tears.

"Haze, I have no choice. I don't want to leave you. But I know you know how to steer, I know you know your since of direction. And if you need any help, someone is behind you."

I turn to see a hooded figure with armor. Her eyes are blocked. She smiles at me.

"Goodbye, Hazel Levesque" Leo says.

"NO!" I scream. I pull the dagger out of Leo's chest. "DON'T DIE ON ME!"

Leo doesn't move. His eyes are becoming milky. I cry and hug his body.

"I can't lose you too, I just...I just can't" I say. "I love you."

I sit there and cry for almost an hour. I know I have to leave, but I don't want to leave him. I kiss him and get up. I can't stay here forever. I have something I need to do.

The hooded girl is still here.

"Hi" I say, wiping away my tears.

"Hi" she says. She pulls off her hood.

Just as I suspected. It's Piper.

"Nico told me to give this to you if I get away from the monster" Piper says, handing me a piece of paper.

"How did you get away...?"

"How do you think?" Piper says.

"Charmspeak" I breath. Piper smiles. "You killed..."

"I had to" Piper says, looking down. "Hazel...she was going to kill you."

"She said she didn't need to" I say.

"She has been lying to both of you. She is still alive and fine" Piper says. "I can tell."

"Okay" I breath. "Let's go o the deck."

"Where are we headed?" Piper asks.

"Greece" I say.

"What?!" Piper asks.

"I don't care anymore what happens to me, but I have to save Percy and Annabeth. And I'm bringing Leo back" I say.

"You can't!" Piper cries.

"Yes I can" I say. I grit my teeth and walk onto the deck. On the piece of paper are directions to Greece. "I might have lost some people. But we can bring them back. If you aren't going to help me, than leave, but I am captain now. And we are going to Greece. And Leo is going to come back because I will be keeping the doors open until he's out. Simple as that"

To be continued!
