Hazel
Hazel had been in a lot of battles recently, but this was by far the worst she had ever been in. She was fighting alongside Frank. Her father was helping her brother and a girl she had never met before. The three of them together were able to take down one giant. It was the first giant to be killed. Hazel didn't think they could do this much longer. Annabeth was seriously injured and Percy was trying his hardest to defend her. Even with Poseidon and Athena helping him, he wouldn't hold out much longer. She Watched Piper shield Leo, and she saw Jason hacking away at monsters.
Just as Frank cut a hellhound out of the air, a chill came over her. She heard a voice in her head. A cold, cruel, bonechilling voice. 'Your friends are dying little hero. You can stop this, you know. You were born to stop this. All you have to do is make a sacrifice.' This was followed by a cruel laugh. 'You know what to do, little hero. Your sacrifice will be enough to ensure the others will live.' Hazel knew what she had to do. She realised then that she had been bought back to die. 'Oh...so this is why they brought me back. I just thought -' She stopped, shook her head. She couldn't think about it.
She looked at her friends- no, her family- one last time, silently saying goodbye. She took a deep breath and charged at Polybotes, knowing she would die. She took the giant by surprise. His shock allowed her father to help her kill the monster, but not before he stabbed her. She fell to the ground, feeling the life drain out of her as the giant died.
The battle was over not long after that. But it was too late, she was almost dead. She heard an anguished cry and saw her brother running over to her. And then they see all there. Nico was holding one of her hands and Frank was holding the other. Percy, Annabeth, Jason and Piper keeled by her side and her father was by her head. ' Hazel... you were so brave, my daughter. I wish I could save you. But I have already given you life twice. To give you life a third time would destroy my kingdom. I am sorry, brave one. I wish you could have had a better life.' Hazel said nothing, she couldn't say anything. She looked at her family surrounding her, all crying. Nico was sobbing hysterically and Frank looked as though he might break any moment. But he smiled at her.
' You wait for me, ok. I'll see you again, in Elysium.' She nodded and looked to her brother. This was the second time he was losing a sister.
'I'm sorry Hazel.' Was all he managed to say. She squeezed his hand gently and smiled at him, trying to tell him it was ok. When he gave her a watery smile she knew he understood. She took one last breath, her eyes finding the stars. And Hazel Levesque died for a second and last time, surrounded by her family.
