Chapter Twenty-One, Diamonds and Flames Reunited
Hazel POV,
Annabeth is kind. The more I talk to her, the more familiar it seems. She's starting to look familiar too. Her gray eyes a princess-y blond curly hair. I have to say, I'm kind of jealous. Her hair is so beautiful, and she is so beautiful. But seriously, I still don't know what I look like. I know that I'm black, and that my hair is brown, but I haven't seen my face in the mirror. I'm honored to know that everyone cares about me so much. I had no idea. I have a brief memory of an oldish women yelling at me, but that's it. I think the women was my mom. It's really strange, waking up and not remembering everything. It looks like I've had an amazing life! I've fought monsters and so many things! I'm proud of myself, I think. Someone opens the door. It's Frank.
"Hazel" he says. He walks over to me.
"Hi!" I say.
"Hazel, you loved me before. You loved me before you lost your memory, and Leo was trying to hold us back from being together. He never loved you, he was manipulating you" Frank says.
"What?" I ask, shooting up. This can't be true! Everything Piper's told me...she said that I never loved Frank. Okay, someone is lying, but who? Piper or Frank? I don't understand! Piper seemed so sad and hurt but Frank...did he lye? Was it Piper? Someone is lying to me!
"Leo has been lying to you. He was trying to get back at me. He is not a good fit for you, because the person fit for you needs to love you. The person fit for you is me" Frank says.
"Frank, I'm flattered, but someone is lying to me, and right now I've lost my memory, so I have no clue if you're lying or not, so please don't confuse me more then I already am!" I say.
"But Hazel, you don't want him! You want me! Me!" Frank says.
"You're dating Gwen!" I say.
"I don't love her!" Frank says.
"You don't love me!" I say.
"But Hazel..."
"Frank!" I say. "If you don't even love me, why are you here?"
"Because Hazel...I really care about you" Frank says.
"I have no clue if your lying or not! I have an idea. Bring everybody on the ship and give a notepad. Make them go in one by one" I say.
"What are you going to do?" Frank asks.
"You're just going to have to wait and see" I say. Frank and picks up a notepad and hands it to me. "I also need pencil."
He picks up one of those and hands it to me, then leaves. I'm going to ask everybody and nobody can listen in, so no one knows who said what. The door opens and Annabeth walks in.
"No one can hear from outside, right?" I ask.
"I believe so" Annabeth says.
"Okay, can you answer my question?" I ask. She nods. "Okay, Leo loves me, true or false?"
"Well, from what I can tell he always looks at you and..." She goes on, I think talking about technical things. "You see, I wasn't here when you two got together but..."
"Annabeth, true or false?" I ask after awhile.
"True. Yes, Leo loves you" Annabeth says. I smile I write down one mark on the notepad and then make a chart that says true and false, and I put one mark in the true section.
"Thank you!" I say. Annabeth nods and smiles.
"Is that all?" she asks.
"Yes" I say.
"Alright. Good luck" Annabeth says, leaving. Next up is Jason.
"Hi" He says.
"Hi" I say. "I have a question I need you to answer."
"Yes?" Jason says.
"True or false: Leo loves me?" I ask.
"Seriously?" Jason asks. "True! He never shut uped about you! I can tell you many stories about it, but he'd kill me if I told you."
"Yay!" I say. "Thank you!"
"Welcome" Jason says, leaving. Percy walks in and walks to me, giving me a hug.
"I have a question for you" I say.
"Okay" He says. "Hit me with your best shot."
I ask him the same question as the others. He answers with:
"Oh heck yes!"
I as everyone on the ship, even Nico who was a little...awkward. But eventually it's Piper's turn. And she's answers:
"Why is that even a question? Why would you doubt that?"
"I don't know...well, yes I do. Frank told me that Leo never loved me and was manipulating me, to get back at him" I say.
Piper looks stunned. "Frank said that?"
"Yes" I say.
"Oh my holy—" she says, starting to use seriously offensive words, making my eyes widen. "I am going to freaking kill him!"
"Wow, Piper, it's okay..."
"No it's—" Piper says, again, using a swear word.. "Not! I have been working to freaking hard to help you remember and bring him back, and to make you happy again and he has to go do something as horrible as that! That – should have stayed at Camp Jupiter! I'm going to murder him! I'm not joking Hazel, I'm going to kill him!"
She sits down in a chair and starts sobbing. "I can't believe he'd do that! I've been working so hard on helping you remember him and help you and so much! All I've been trying to do is make you and Leo happy, and he has to try and mess it up! I mean, I just can't believe he'd make you doubt it! It's not not even just that! It's the fact that he knows I'm working so, so hard and yet he's probably not even going to stop! I just...I'm so mad at him! I'm going to murder him, I really am!"
Piper isn't the one who's lying. My chart proves that it was Leo loves me, because everyone besides Frank answered that Leo's loves me, and Piper just proved to me that she is not the one lying.
"I believe you" I say.
"Thank you, Haze" Piper says.
"Pipes" I say. Piper's head shoots up.
"I didn't tell you about that!" she cries. "Hazel, do you remember?! Do you?! Do you?!"
"I...I did" I say. I did remember, but it's gone now.
"Okay Haze. Never mind" Piper says. Nico break into the room, smiling wildly.
"HAZEL PIPER! WE ARE ALMOST THERE! WE TOOK A SHORTCUT AND I CAN SHADOW TRAVEL! Maybe" Nico says. I have to say, I have never, ever seen anyone so happy! And from what I hear about Nico, he's almost always unhappy. I stand up. I stand up and run to Nico, tackling him with a hug. I'm actually clinging to him. My feet aren't even on the ground.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" I say. I kiss Nico's cheek.
"Hey, hey! No problem! None at all! Seriously happy to do it!" Nico says. I let go of Nico, and end up falling on the floor onto my butt. I giggle. I give him a quick hug and walk to Piper, grabbing her hand and making her follow me to her room.
"Okay..." I say. "I need a favor..."
"What?" Piper asks.
"Could you..." I say, looking away.
"What?" Piper asks.
"Could you do my make up and hair and..."
"A make over?" Piper asks in shock. I nod. "Well, I'm not one for fashion or beauty, and Annabeth is going to have to help, but I'll only do it if you promise me it's for Leo, not just cause. Because I don't usually do make overs."
"Yes. I want to do this for Leo" I say. Piper smiles and nods, and takes my hand and we run to deck, where Annabeth is standing. Piper grabs her hand, and she pulls us back to my room.
"Okay, does either of you own any make up?" Piper asks.
"I have no clue" I say.
"Umm...I don't know, either. I think I left my only make up back home"Annabeth says. "Not to burst your bubble, but Piper, none of us are the kinds of girls to ever wear make up."
"Very true" Piper says. "Well, it looks like we'll have to do this without it."
She makes me sit down and takes out a brush, and starts brushing my hair. She parts my hair at the left side and then puts my hair into two braids, but letting my bangs dangle over my eyebrow. While Piper is doing this, Annabeth takes this thing that looks like pincers and starts to take hair out of my eyebrows. Ouch! That's painful!
Piper finishes with my hair and runs to the bathroom, coming back out quickly with a wet rag, and starts to wipe my face. Annabeth runs to my closet. She comes back with a blue tank top, a white half sweater, and a pair of dark jeans. She drops them in my lap. Annabeth and Piper turn away, and I change. Once I'm done Piper runs out, and shortly comes back with a pair of navy blue heels.
"Those are mine!" Annabeth cries.
"Shut up, you were in Tartarus" Piper says. Annabeth shrugs. She hands me the shoes and I put them on.
"Kay, look in the mirror" Annabeth says. I nod and smile, and look in the mirror that's on one of my walls. I'm going to be ugly, I know I am. I'm going to have a chubby creepy face. I look in the mirror. Well, I'm happy with that! Though my eyes are huge and my lips are very strange. I actually like the way the braids look, and I love my bangs. I look at Piper and Annabeth and smile. I'm not half as pretty as either of them, but I actually like the way I look...today.
"So we're really close to where Leo is?" I ask.
"Yeah, you were out for weeks, Haze" Piper says.
"And we'll be there in a few hours?" I ask.
"Yeah. But it'll be night time by then" Annabeth says.
"I don't care! I'm going to see Leo!" I say.
"Yeah" Piper says. "After what seems like One Hundred Years, I'm glad that you'll finally going to be together."
Leo POV,
I wish Hazel was here. Dude, I'm becoming so obsessive, but still...I want to see someone I remember. Because, I don't even remember my own name! And I'm losing my memory of Hazel. I remember her name, and her laugh, and her eyes. That's all I remember of her. I miss her. I love her. She's hot.
I remember a dove. I remember an owl and a fish...or at least, these are what the people I'm supposed to remember represent. Hazel was a Diamond.
I don't like it here. It sucks. I have nothing to do and it's so boring! I have nothing to make and just gah!I don't want to stay here forever! But I've been down here for so long. I don't know, three years? Seven? A century? I don't know. It's so dark and dingy down here that I can't even see my hands in front of my face!
"Leo!" I hear quite a distance away. It's a girl. The way she says it sounds familiar. I think I know her. "Leo, I'm coming!"
I see a girl appear in front of me. She isn't Hazel, but she is familiar. Her eyes keep changing color, though. Her hair is brown and choppy. She has a sisterish vibe coming off of her. And surprisingly, I don't find her hot.
"I found him!" The girl cries. She takes my hand and starts to pull me.
"Are you bringing me to Hazel?" I ask.
"Yes!" She says. She hugs me. She starts to run and I run to, even though I feel a force trying to pull me back. A boy appears. He's blond and kind of looks like a Superman. He puts his arm on my shoulders and seems to be leading me. And then another one appears. He has black hair and a grim look at his face. For some reason, he reminds me of Hazel. He places one of his hands on the girls who's holding my hand and then the Supermans.
"What about the others?" The girl asks.
"They left. There at the top. Hazel wanted us to bring Leo to her" The boy with the black hair says.
"You now Hazel?" I ask.
"Of course! Oh Leo, you lost your memory!" The girl says. "It's Piper!"
"Piper" I say. It does sound familiar.
The boy with black hair says something, and suddenly we're somewhere else. I look down at my hands. I can see them! And I thought they'd be transparent, but they aren't! My heart is beating again! I'm alive!
"Okay Leo, go up the stairs and onto the deck. That's where Hazel is" The girl, Piper, says. She and the two boys move away. I hug Piper. I have almost no memory of her. I look at the two boys. The one with the black hair is grinning. The blond one looks indifferent. I turn away and walk up the stairs. I start to run. I'm about to see golden eyes! I'm about to see her! I'm about to see Hazel! I reach the deck, and a girl stands here, with her back to me. She has black skin and brown hair...I know it's her.
"Hello, Hazel Levesque!" I cry.
She turns around. I see them. I see her golden eyes. I see her beautiful, beautiful golden eyes!
"Leo" The girl breaths. I run at her, and she runs at me. She literally jumps into my arms, and I'm like...holding her. I hug her so tight, I don't think she can breath. But I don't feel so bad, because she's doing the same. Her chin is on my shoulder, and despite her hair being in braids, her hair comes up my nose. I don't mind, it's really comforting. She's really warm.
"Leo" Hazel says. "Thank you for coming home."
I nod. "I remember you completely clearly."
"Same goes for you" Hazel says. Hazel tightens her grip, and her high heels dig into my back. Slightly painful, but it doesn't bother me. She smells like honey.
I remember how this feels. I remember hugging her a long time ago. I remember that she hugged me. She smelled like honey, then. Her hair went up my nose then. I remember that it felt like it was perfect. And right now, it's perfect.
"I love you, Leo Valdez" Hazel says.
"I love you, Hazel Levesque" I say. Hazel lets go of me and stands up. She looks at me directly in my eye. She takes my hands. She shuts her eyes and brings her lips up to mine. I feel completely at home, and completely in love.
Suddenly, memories start to flood into my brain. I see her and I on a rock, I see me looking into her eyes, I see myself making a fool of myself saying "Hey babe" and falling over, I see Hazel and I fighting over useless topics like an old married couple, I see so many things. I see the first time I kiss her, and I see when I die. It plays over in my head over and over again. I see our One Hundred Years. Every memory that involved us. Every time we kissed, every time we hugged, every time we held hands, every time we talked, and every time I knew that I was hopelessly in love with her. This hot, sassy little babe. I only see my memories with her, though. No other ones. We pull away and Hazel smiles, her eyes shining as always. She bites her lip.
"I remember you. I remember you perfectly" Hazel says. "I had amnesia, but I remember everything we ever did."
"Hazel! Oh my gosh, why didn't you tell me?!" I cry.
"Hey! You have been dead for two months! Don't you dare give me that!" Hazel says. See? Old married couple.
"You know you love it" I say.
"Yeah, a little bit" Hazel says. I laugh.
"Do you remember anything else?" I ask.
"Nope. Just the memories of you" Hazel says, her eyebrows scrunched making her look so cute!
"Same here" I say.
"Hey! Cool!" Hazel says. "Ah, what a cliche."
"Completely" I agree. I kiss her again. Her lips are soft and warm, just how I remember them. Yep, nothing's changed. I put my hand at the back of her head, and she puts her hand at the back of mine, when I put my other hand on her rosy cheek. She still has a layer of baby fat, though I probably do too. Hazel is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. I hear footsteps on the stairs. Hazel and I turn, both of us grinning madly.
"Yay!" Piper cries. I slightly remember a few of these people..."Do you remember everything?"
"I remember everything I did with Leo" Hazel says, at almost a whisper.
"Yeah, same here, but everything with Hazel" I say.
"Wait, you don't remember everything we've been through?" Piper asks.
"I'm sorry Piper" Hazel says. Piper's eyes fill with tears and she tears town the stairs, not saying another word. The blond Superman runs after her. A blond girl looks worried about Piper, but that doesn't stop her from coming over and she introduces herself. Her name is Annabeth. She gives me a hug. I meet everyone. Percy, Nico, and Hedge. There's also a boy named Frank, but he seems to hate me. And I mean, seriously hate me. After a long while they all leave. I turn towards Hazel. I hug her. I don't even kiss her. I just want to hug her again. I don't care if it's sexual or whatever. Dude, that word is just so funny! Hazel seems happy. She is beautiful and just so...wow. I'm so happy that I have someone as just pure awesome as Hazel is. She is like the girl me! Always hyper and happy. Though looks wise, Hazel is much more flattering...but anyway, I love her! And despite the fact that both of us don't remember anything but each other, we remember our One Hundred Years. We remember everything about each other down to our favorite colors. And despite the fact that we have both been through so much trauma, we still have each other.
And our One Hundred Years isn't going to stop. Remember, we still need to meet Hannah, Yvonne, Lion and Nico.
But still, this is our One Hundred Years Of Lezel.
