Hazel cursed in Ancient Greek and drew her sword.

"Stupid hellhound, today's my last day of work, you just had to ruin it, didn't you?" she complained at the creature in front of her.

Her sword, Riptide, that she had inherited from her father, was shining with unusual clarity, as if getting ready for battle.

The hellhound growled, and Hazel noticed it was only as big as a rhino. Good, she thought, Daniel is waiting for me.

Suddenly, her SmartPhone beeped, and the hellhound growled.

"It's okay, hellhound, just a second" she picked up the phone, she honestly didn't care about the monsters-can-track-you-by-technology-devices crap that Chiron had told her. When she saw the caller ID, she relaxed.

"Hey, honey, how are you?" she said while she stabbed the hellhound in the gut, making it dissolve into dust. As she watched, Riptide became a pin.

"I'm fine, but where are you?" asked Daniel.

Hazel sighed "Hellhound got in my way. Home in five minutes."

"Okay" came the reply, "Love you"

Hazel hung up and smiled when she saw Silena, her baby girl, smiling at her.

"She's so cute" she told nobody in particular, then, she stood up, and drove to the graveyard.

In there, she stepped out from the car, and walked towards a grave she knew well.

It was her parent's.

Here lies the Chase –Jacksons. Annabeth and Perseus.

You were great siblings, parents, and uncles.

With Love, your children, Hazel and Charlie.

Hazel had learned not to cry during her time with Daniel, but it still hurt to not be with them.

"Hi, mom, hi dad" she whispered, "Silena's great, and I named her after your friend." She bit her lip "Yeah, and Daniel and I are married now. Sorry you couldn't come to the wedding. You probably know, but Uncle Jason died." Her voice sounded small "And Annabeth –Aunt Piper's girl –is now fourteen. She's beautiful. Charlie is in Chicago, doing a swimming thing. And, William married a mortal a week ago. Cassandra Royal is…well, she's great, and she's now a volunteer at a Red Cross thing. And Emily is pregnant. That's about it"

Hazel wasn't crying, but she was almost sobbing. "And Silena has your grey eyes mom, but Daniel's blonde hair. And yeah, I miss you still."

Hazel felt like a ten-year-old, here saying 'I miss you' to her parents, who were dead long ago. But she still wasn't completely over it, even though Charlie was.

She slowly walked to her car, then drove in silence until she reached her house.

When she did, she cursed and banged her head against the wheel.

"Shit, shit, shit" she said, then she got out of the car, and saw a very-angry looking Daniel.

Fear cursed through her veins.

Okay, so Daniel wasn't a monster or demigod, he didn't have any power, and –they had discovered not long ago – could only see through the Mist. But, he was the thing that most scared Hazel. Hazel Chase Jackson was not afraid of many things, but she was afraid that he might leave her, that he might leave her alone with Silena.

So, when she saw his face, she smiled apologetically "Sorry. Traffic"

Daniel raised his eyebrows in amazement "Traffic?! What the hell, Hazel? For all I knew, a monster could've eaten you on the way home. Irresponsible…!"

Hazel whimpered. Even at twenty six, she still was behaving like an irresponsible teenager. But she had her father to blame for that. Her dead father…

"Yeah, sorry. How's Silena?"

Daniel seemed to calm down. He breathed in and out, then smiled his breathtaking smile, and Hazel knew she had won.

"We've been laughing at you all day. Stupid band… I should've been working, now you've got more work."

Daniel could never stay mad too long. And he was very perceptive.

"Graveyard?"

Hazel nodded, and Daniel opened his arms to let her in. But just as he was hugging her and kissing her face, a baby's cry made them wince.

"Silena" Hazel said

"Silena" Daniel agreed, but first he kissed her.

Even as Danile was running to their baby, Hazel was still breathless. Four years of marriage and she still couldn't live without his kisses.

She smiled stupidly and ran after him.

…

"What?! What do you mean, Lord Poseidon?" Hazel asked while wiping her cheeks "Charlie can't be dead"

Poseidon smiled sadly "My dear granddaughter, you've lost a lot of people. Surely, you know denial doesn't help."

He was wearing a normal fishing t-shirt and kahki shorts, with some flip flops and sunglasses . They were sitting on the beach, and talking.

"But, grandfather Poseidon, Charlie was one of the strongest demigods alive. He –he. No. He can't be dead" Hazel shook her head, tears now falling freely. Why was it that everyone in her life died?

"Okay, Lord Poseidon, at least you told me."

Poseidon bit his lip "Actually, I came here to talk about your father."

Hazel turned her head in amazement, and wiped her tears "Dad? Why…?"

It then occurred to her.

She imagined losing Silena when she was just thirty, imagine seeing her children orphans. And never talk to them about it. Poseidon had came here as a son-less father.

"What do you want to talk about?" she asked

Poseidon looked embarrassed "What did he thought about me?"

Hazel almost smiled, but Charlie's death didn't let her "He thought you were cool, and he taught me and- and Charlie to swim. He said it was important. I can breath underwater, but Charlie… he was a better swimmer."

She was almost in tears now, memories flooding quickly her mind.

"Oh" Poseidon said, and Hazel thought she saw tears "you know, I liked Annabeth"

Hazel stared at him in amazement "She was a daughter of Athena"

"But one who could make my son happy " Poseidon said, and disappeared.

…

"Hazel!" called Daniel, "I need you!"

Hazel ran to him, in pajamas and slippers, with her blonde hair in a ponytail, "What's wrong? Are you hurt? That monster son of a –?"

Daniel laughed, and pulled her closer to him "I love you"

Hazel smiled and looked into his eyes, of such a warm brown "I love you too, Daniel, but you gave me quite a fright. Is Silena okay?"

Daniel nodded "And she's sleeping"

Hazel hugged her husband "I miss you, you know. Having you here all day. Now that Charlie's gone… It made you seem more important and solid. I need you here too."

Daniel kissed her softly "I will never leave"

I love Dazel (Daniel/Hazel, original, isn't it?) they're so cute.
