HAHAHA SURPRISE! Double update week!
Therefore, I have proved Tesla9 wrong AND gave you guys more reading material.
Holy shiet guys. This story has become the top reviewed Ask the Demigods story on literally every single fanfic site. Oh my freaking gods. THANK. YOU.
I decided to wrap up Hazel's Haven in this chapter (YAYYYYY) but y'know, it could always get published as a new story... *hint hint*
Please submit any Questions for Kittydj ASAP. This is the last reminder. If you guys do, serious surprise next week ;)
Let's begin!
To Percabeth: When you guys have kids how would you feel if they turned out to be Bianca and Luke, both reborn? -Tesla9
Percy: Nico would fawn over the one called Biance 24/7, and Thals would fawn over Luke 24/7
Nico: Okay that's probably true-WAIT A MINUTE
Piper: PERCY JUST
Piper: HE JUST! *does a flail and rolls out of the room fangirling*
Hazel: Oh my gods Percy was that
Hazel: Did you just propose to Annabeth
Percy: What?
Percy: I
Percy: Oh. My. Cod.
Annabeth: I would feel really awkward about Luke
Annabeth: Mainly because he was like an older brother
Frank: *comes back burdened with lots of t-shirts* Why...me...
Piper: Don't mind us, just spreadin the Percabeth love
PART 2
To Percy and Thalia: If Nico can Shadow-travel, have you ever tried to water-travel or lightning-travel? -BunearyBunny
Thalia: Yes, but because lightning happens randomly all over the world it is horribly insufficent. I don't use it.
Percy: But like shadows are everywhere
Percy: Water isn't
Leo: Um, yes it is
Percy: In bathrooms yeah
Leo: Wait what
Percy: Is toilet travel a thing now?
Percy: I SHALL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED AS: THE TOILET TRAVELLING WONDER!
Leo: ...What have I created?!
PART 3
To Leo: Stay quite for one whole day or speak 100 lines about Percy. Now. -satvidesai31
Leo: I would say lines about Percy, but that will take too long, so I'll shut up for a day.
Percy: B-but...
Leo: *holds up sign* Too late. By the way, is this cheating?
Annabeth: Yes it is.
Leo: D:
Jason: I get the feeling this is about to become an-
Frank: XD
Percy: ;-;
Annabeth: *-*
Hazel: ':|
Leo: TT-TT
Percy: :P
Annabeth: =.=
Piper: Wait why is everyone talking in emoticons?
PART 4: Hazel's Haven (conclusion and, well, everything)
To Hazel: WHERE ARE YOU?!
*Dun dun. Dun dun.*
Everyone nervously looked around as they descended the steps into an underground cavern, illuminated only by the flickering light emanating from the flame on Leo's fingertip. All traces of their beloved comrade led here.
"This place is so creepy." Piper shuddered as they stepped past a puddle of... something. It was foul and green, with small bubbles in it.
"I wonder how we never knew this place was here." Frank muttered. They'd found it underneath a cleverly disguised trapdoor under the grapevines in Kittydj's backyard. (Mind you- I do have a grape tree. It's tiny though.)
*Dun dun. Dun dun.*
Echoing notes sounded in the cavern again, accompanied by the drip drip drop of liquid flowing from a stalactite. Nico shugged.
"That wasn't me this time. There's no organ even close to where I am."
A glow came from the door in front of them.
*Dun dun. Dun Dun.*
Percy rested his hand on the rusted handle of the door. He took a deep breath and yanked it open slowly, because the door was aged, and a creaking noise filled the entire cavern like the screeching of a thousand bats...
*Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun DunDunDunDunDun-*
The door opened in a puff of smoke. A ring of torches around the one they'd been searching for. Books piled around her small figure.
Hazel was sitting cross legged on the floor covered in - oh my gods. Was that... BLOOD?!
She gave them an odd, lopsided grin, and tilted her head to the side.
Then, in an unnaturally high voice...
"Welcome!" She giggled. "Wanna join in the fun?"
Everyone was frozen in shock.
Holy shiet.
"H-Hazel?" Frank said, fear creeping into his voice. "I-is that really you?
She hiccuped and nodded, a unbefitting smile still plastered on her face.
"I-is she drunk or something?" Percy sweatdropped.
"It doesn't smell of alcohol, you idiot. There is the scent of the iron that blood has, however..." Annabeth said worriedly.
Suddenly, Hazel fell over into the little puddle of dark liquid. Nico's eyes narrowed and he reached down, removing the bottle from her loose grip.
Pomegranate juice.
Everyone had a blank expression on their faces. They had been worried over nothing after all...
The girls cleaned Hazel off while the boys mopped the juice from the floor. But, things can't go as you plan them to, for at that moment, the door slammed shut, extinguishing the torchfire and Piper let out a faint shriek, because she swore she had felt Hazel's body fade from her grasp...
Short, fearful breaths filled the suddenly heavy air. What. Was. Going. On.
A soft breeze seemed to whisper through the underground cavern. A shudder. A chill that crawled down their spines. A deep fear of something... something they didn't know...
Out of nowhere, a small orb of light illuminated a narrow corridor. Leo, A grim expression upon his face.
"Let's go figure out who abducted our friend."
The rest nodded in determined assent. Trekking down the path, each one gave a shriek or a small shout in surprise at what lined the walls...
Spiders. A fractured mirror. A broken wheel. A splintered arrow. A cracked shield. A torn cloak. And a blotch of dark red that scared them all.
Finally, they sighed in relief, entering a tiny room, ghosted by shadows. A single beam of moonlight shone from a minuscule crack in the rock above, reflecting off of a brilliant grin...
"Happy Halloween, guys!" Hazel laughed, her face painted into that of an innocent bunny.
Nico smirked. "All of you were so scared, oh my gods."
The rest were dumbfounded, staring at the two children of Hades.
Then they all gave matching smiles, and Leo whipped a pinata out of nowhere.
"Get over here, you two!"
By the end of the night, all of them were chuckling, storing the mirth of the night into their memories forever.
No one noticed the cat sitting in the corner, smiling as she clicked away at the keyboard of the computer...
Obviously, I made this story for Halloween. So I was going to drag it out for like a few more weeks... but you guys would have killed me by then.
I dunno, I'm kinda unsatisfied with that ending... eh, oh well. Hopefully, you guys enjoyed this chapter!
See you guys next week!
