PeaceLoveAndCheese: Thanks! The cookies tasted great, :D!

I so RaNdOm: You're welcome, here's the update!

IzzyBookLover98: Thanks! Yup he's not evil anymore, yay! The prophecy is coming true more and more with each chapter! And yeah, key faces are awesome : P!

Athenagrl: Thank you! :D and I know, for those fight chapters at the beginning, I had run out of ideas so I did that! And the blood thing was explained last chappie! JIPER RULES! ;) Lol yeah. See the personalities were off in that chapter 'cause my BFF MitchieC wrote that part as I wanted to make Leyna happen, but I didn't know how to, so yeah, sorry about that!

ANNABETH:

We had camped for the night a few hours ago, and we got a tiny bit closer to Mount Olympus. I couldn't sleep, even though the others were peacefully snoring around me.

I had started to feel stressed, a while ago. I guess it's the stupid Mark of Athena curse.

I had tried to fall asleep, but I felt a sense of dread. I have no idea why, but I guess that's because we are getting closer to Gaea and she might manage to convince me to join her.

I would never betray the gods, or my friends, and especially Percy. But Gaea has a way of intimidating you until you give in to her will.

I feared that my breaking point was near. I could end up having a nervous breakdown just because of this goddamn curse, and the fact I have to save the world along with my friends, but that responsibility had increased the minute I found out about my curse.

I wanted to yell at my mother, for giving me this curse. This damn curse could destroy the gods and entire Western Civilization. So why do I have this?

Because you are the wisest Athena child to be born in centuries, and I know you will use this curse to help the gods win this war, my mother's voice spoke in my mind.

What if I can't handle all of this pressure and I make the wrong decision?

You will prevail. You survived the Titan War with an insane amount of pressure, and yet you chose the right decision, to believe Luke could save Olympus. Athena whispered.

I mentally cringed at Luke's name, but as always, my mother had a point. I did survive the Titan War, but that was before I learned I had the Mark of Athena.

I would go insane, or worse, trying to control my emotions and not turning into a blazing fire and destroy Ancient Greece and Rome. I know we are in Greece now, but I have a feeling we (or maybe me alone) have to go back to Rome to close the doors of Death before we can come to Greece again. It's the only way the gods would join us in fighting against the giants.

That's right, my dear. You must go back to Rome and close the doors of Death and then return to Greece. But you must do it alone. Athena said.

Yet again I had to abandon Percy and my friends. My heart ached at the thought of leaving again, but my mind told me it's what had to happen.

What do I have to do? I can't walk back to Rome. I thought.

Imagine yourself in Rome. Your powers will transport you there. Contrary to what you think, your powers are quite useful. Athena mused.

All right, I'll do it, I thought.

I sat up and whispered in Percy's ear:

"I love you. I'll be back, I promise." I blinked back tears and envisioned myself in Rome.

When I opened my eyes, I was near the Pantheon. I figured the doors would be either inside the Pantheon or near an entrance of the Underworld.

I understood why I had to do this alone. I was the only demigod that could close the doors. Once I found them, I would find a way to close them. Right now I have no idea what my awesome plan is, and that is bad, since Athena always has a plan. I guess this mission is an exception.

I suppose an entrance to the Underworld would be in an Ancient Roman cemetery. But right now I should see if the doors are in the Pantheon.

Well, here goes nothing.

(I've never done this next POV so bear with me if it's horrible, sorry)

HAZEL:

I awoke to find Percy sitting up, generally looking horrified. I was about to ask why, but then I noticed Annabeth's sleeping bag was empty. She had left yet again. I knew it had to be for a reason, Annabeth wouldn't do something like this if she didn't have a reason. Her mother must've sent her back to Rome to search for the doors. She would've found them faster if Nico had come with us to Greece. But when we saved him from Gaea, he said he didn't want to come, and shadow traveled back to Camp Half Blood. Anyway, I stood up and walked over to Percy, who looked like someone had sucker punched him.

"Are you okay?" I asked carefully.

"Do I look like I'm okay, Hazel?" he asked.

"No. Not really, but I still had to ask." I said.

"Where could she be now?" Percy asked, concernedly.

Oh, Styx. I know where Annabeth went, and I have to tell him.

"Sapientiafiliaambulatsolus, notamPalladisardet per Romam." I said, speaking in Latin. Here's what I said: Wisdom's daughter walks alone, the Mark of Athena burns through Rome.

"What does that have to do with anything…? Oh Styx, not again…" He muttered.

I nodded and asked,

"How are we going to find her? She could be anywhere in Rome."

"I have no idea… Maybe I can talk/pray to my dad and ask if he knows where she is?" Percy said.

"That should work." I said, while going over to the others and waking them up, saying Annabeth was gone again, and that woke them up pretty quickly.

Leo was watching me, and I knew I had to ask him if he was Sammy, or knew Sammy.

I walked over to Leo and,

"Hey, Leo, do you, by any chance, have a family member named Sammy?" I asked nervously.

"Yeah, he was my grandfather. Why?"
"Well, you see, he was my boyfriend when I lived in New Orleans." I said conscious Frank was looking like he wanted to punch someone.

"But he's dead now; he lived in New Orleans like 80 years ago. How come you're not old?" Leo asked.

I took a deep breath and explained to him what happened when I moved to Alaska, how Gaea forced me to raise her eldest giant, Alcyoneus. I told him how we died, but to reject Gaea's power, and to delay Alcyoneus from rising.

I described how Nico found me and brought me back to the world of the living, where I went to Camp Jupiter.

When I was finished with my story, I glanced at Leo to make sure he wasn't looking at me like I was some awful undead zombie. He looked impressed at what I had accomplished in my short first life. I had thought before that the only event I had done worth mentioning to anybody was that I had died to save the world from Gaea and Alcyoneus.

Now, I knew that I had done much more than that. I had sacrificed my life with Sammy, I had delayed doomsday, I had come back from the dead, and now, had the chance to save the world, not destroy it.

I was happy I was a part of the Seven. It made me feel like coming back to life was worth something. Of course I knew that if I didn't come back, it would cause millions, even billions, of people's lives.

Leo's voice jarred me out of my thoughts. I blinked.

"What'd you say?" I asked.

"I said you're really brave, Hazel. I could've never done what you did. I did sacrifice my mother's life, but other than that, and saving Hera from the giants, I've done nothing compared to you."

"Thank you, Leo. But hey, now you have the chance to save the world, right? Like all of us." I said.

Leo nodded.

I could feel Frank's eyes on me, and I could nearly see waves of jealousy rolling off of him.

"I'll talk to you later, Leo." I said.

"Yeah, it seems your little boyfriend isn't too happy with me," Leo said.

I laughed silently and walked to Frank.

He was staring into the distance, probably wishing to throttle Leo, but we were just friends. Besides, Leo's dating Reyna. I don't think Frank knows that.

I nudged him.

"You know, I don't like Leo. He's going out with Reyna, and two things: 1. I wouldn't do that to her, and I'm pretty sure Leo wouldn't either, 2. Reyna would seriously injure me, so don't worry, okay?"

He looked over. "Yeah, I know. It's just sort of bothering me, that Leo is related to Sammy, and you might fall for him."

"Are you kidding me? Leo's great, but we're just friends. You're my boyfriend, remember?" I said.

"Last I checked I was your boyfriend." Frank said while leaning in to kiss me softly. I wasn't in to PDA, but I haven't kissed my boyfriend in a while. I think I've earned the right.

I broke apart, mainly because Percy was watching us with a pained expression, wishing Annabeth was with him.

I stood up and pulled Frank over to Percy, while saying,

"Did your dad answer?"

Percy shook his head dejectedly.

"We'll find her man, don't worry." Frank said reassuringly.

"You guys, I think I know exactly where Annabeth is," Piper said.

"WHERE?" We all yelled while running over to her.

"She's entering the Underworld. The Roman Underworld."
