Chapter 2 Hazel

I love Arion. He's the best horse ever! We finally stopped on an island. I've never been to Camp Key before. This was really exciting! Plus Percy's sister was pretty cool. She really knows how to fight. Clara and I slid off of Arion's back. I gave Arion a gold nugget and he ran off. I caught up with Clara. In front of us was three paths.

"Come, on." Clara said in a kind voice. "This way." She walked down the left path. We walked for about ten minutes through a bunch of trees, when I finally saw a brick building the actual size of a hospital.

"Is this it?" I asked in shock.

"Yes." Clara said. "The island is big enough to fit the whole city of Chicago here. We- the Apollo kids and Hephaestus kids- built this hospital this size so we can help more injured demigods."

"This is so cool." I said.

"Alright, the entrance is this way." Clara said as we headed towards the entrance. I saw many demigods on gurneys being rushed into the hospital.

"Is it always like this?" I asked.

"No. Ever since the war began, we've been having many more injuries and deaths." She looked at me. "Let's take you to your brother."

Clara and I entered the hospital. It was bigger inside than the outside. It was like your everyday hospital (I think. What? I am from the 1940's). The main counter had four demigods going through paperwork. There was a waiting room across from the counter.

Clara walked up to a black haired demigod with brown eyes. "Hey, Harper, I need to see him."

"You got it Claire." She said. She whispered something to Clara. With all the noise I couldn't hear.

"Thanks, let's go Hazel." Clara and I basically ran down the hallway and turned right, then left, then another left and then I forgot. We reached a room with two guards. "Found it." Clara muttered.

"Hey, Alex," Clara walked up next to him. "We gotta get through."

"Can't." He said. "No one is supposed to go in." Clara punched the wall with her fist. The wall slowly began to freeze.

"May I remind you I am losing control on my powers?" She asked clearly pist off.

"Fine." Alex squeaked. I could tell he was scared of her by the look in his eyes. Clara didn't seem to notice. He moved aside as did the other guard. Clara opened the door and we walked in.

I saw my brother lying on a bed in the small room. He snapped awake.

"Did that happen?" Nico asked.

"Did what happen?" I asked him.

"He fell, into. . ." Nico didn't have to say the rest.

"Yes." Clara's voice was so quiet it was terrifying. Her right hand moved to her left wrist. She moved her hand after a second and it was covered with blood. The cut on her wrist was big.

"Oh my gods." Nico said. "He's not dead yet."

"I know." Clara picked up a water bottle sitting on the floor. "Hazel can you open this?"

I opened the water bottle. "Thanks." She said as she poured it over her wrist. The cut closed. The blood was washed away.

"How many of them were there?" Nico asked. "I can't remember."

"About two dozen."

"Two dozen what?" I asked.

"Shadows." Nico answered. "With the Mist gone, how are we supposed to fight them with everyone seeing the truth and coming after us?"

"We'll have to worry about this war later." Clara said. "We must focus on this problem."

"I can't use the Mist anymore." I said."With it gone, we can't use it."

"I'll have to ask the Hecate kids on that." Clara said still holding onto the water bottle.

Nico stood up. "How are we going to get outta here? I know they won't let me leave. The Shadows can track my shadow travels along with Hazel's."

Clara smiled evilly. "I know how."

"Oh, no." Nico said. "No any other option!"

"Oh, yes." Clara said. "Come here." She walked over to me. "You might want to hang on." Clara grabbed my wrist along with Nico's and we materialized into thin air.

-----------------------------------

The next thing I saw was the Hades Cabin at Camp Half-Blood. "That was awesome!" I said.

"Not for me." Nico said as he ran into the cabin.

"He hates it when I do that." Clara said. "That's what makes it fun."

I laughed. "What are you gonna do now?"

"I don't know." She looked at me. "I might try to regain control of my powers, seek out what's been causing the Mist to go poof! Or I might try and save my brother."

"Well, good luck!" I said. I didn't know what else to say. I couldn't just say nothing.

Percy's pegasus, Blackjack, landed next to Clara. He said something in his horse language.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"He said, there is another Shadow Attack going on and before he takes me I have to give him frozen donuts. Here." Clara held out her hand and waved her other over it. In her palm was a frozen donut. Blackjack ate it without hesitation. He said something else.

"Yes, I bet Joe is missing my frozen food." Clara said. She faced me. "I have to go. See ya soon."

Clara climbed into Blackjack's back. And the flew away. I walked into the Hades Cabin. Nico was sitting on his bed. I sat next to him. "You okay?"

"There's an attack in New York City right now caused by a monster." He wouldn't look at me. "People are dying right now."

I concentrated. "I feel it too."

"We better tell someone before more mortals actually die from a monster attack." He stood and ran out the door. I followed.

I caught up with Nico and together we found Percy, Jason, Leo, Frank, and Piper.

"I thought you two were at Camp Key." Percy said as we ran up to them. "And you were like in a coma for a few days." He pointed at Nico.

"Blah, blah, blah, people are dying in New York City now because of a monster attack." Nico said this pretty fast.

"Wait, what?" Frank said.

"Attack in New York and people are dying." I said slowly.

"We're not babies, Hazel." Leo complained. I rolled my eyes. They sure act like it sometimes.

"We need to get to New York. Nico can you shadow travel us?" Percy asked. Percy's hands went to his head. After a minute he put his hands down. "Never mind my sister told me you can't."

"Yeah, it sucks."

"We can take pegisi!" He suggested. (A/N: Did I spell pegisi right?)

"Clara has Blackjack," I said. "And People will see us."

"The Mist is gone. People will find out anyways." Jason said.

"I agree." Piper said. "We have to do something."

Percy ran off to the pegisi.After two minutes seven different pegisi landed in front of us with Percy and Annabeth. 

I concentrated. Ten seconds later Arion came. He said something that sounded like, I was just here.

"I know." I said. "We need to get to New York." He nodded. Once I climbed onto Arion, everyone else was ready expect Nico and his pegasus.

"Do I have to?" He complained.

"Yes!" Percy said. "Get on!"

"But he hates me!"

"It's a she!"

"She hates me!"

"Get on her or I'll set both of you on fire!" Leo said very annoyed.

"Fine!"

Arion took off. Everything was a blur. The next thing I saw was three hellhounds, the Minotaur, and one of the Furies.

I looked up and saw the others landed next to me. Police cars drove wildly around us to get to the monsters.

The police were shooting. The monsters weren't affected. Only annoyed. "Fire!" A cop shouted.

I dismounted as did the others. Nico was first on the ground. "I really wish I could shadow travel." His pegasus nodded.

The police kept shooting. "Stop!" Jason yelled.

"Run away, kids! You shouldn't be here!" A cop shouted. Ambulances were being filled with people.

"STOP!" Piper charmspeaked. The police stopped. Then all of us demigods ran into battle. Our swords drawn and no plan.

"Annabeth, what do we do?" Leo asked.

"Right now, Piper get the people to safety and make sure the police don't shoot with charmspeak. Hazel, Frank, and Leo take on the hellhounds. Nico and Jason, take the Fury. Percy and I take the Minotaur." Annabeth said. We all nodded and charged while Piper ran to the civilians.

The police were in shock. News reporters were reporting and filming us. "Teens who arrived on horses are now battling monsters that are from Greek Mythology."

Frank, Leo and I were focused on our hellhounds. Frank turned into a giant bear and wrestled one while Leo was trying to set the smallest hellhound on fire. I was fighting the normal sized hellhound. I really wish I could use the Mist. Then I had an idea.

I held out my hand and jewels and riches rose from the earth. I used the jewels to hold the hellhound down. I backed up, ran and jumped into the back of the hellhound. I tightened my grip on my sword and stabbed the hellhound. It turned to dust.

I looked at Jason and Nico. They weren't having as much luck. Jason was using the winds to keep the Fury lower to the ground. Nico helped my bending the shadows to hold the Fury in place. Jason then stopped using the winds. Nico split open the ground. I ran over to him. I could actually see the Underworld. Nico threw the Fury into the Underworld. He closed the opening to the Underworld.

Percy and Annabeth defeated the Minotaur within two minutes. Percy and Annabeth are the perfect team. I was so busy helping Frank and Leo, when I looked at them next, the Minotaur was gone.

Frank held the hellhound down in the from of a dragon while I stabbed the hellhound. It turned to dust. Leo set his on fire and almost immediately it turned to dust.

Once Piper was done with helping civilians to the abundance, she met with us back at the battle sight.

"What's the excuse?" Piper asked.

"I have no idea." Annabeth said.

"What the hell was that?" A cop said. About a dozen police men approached us with guns.

"Who are you kids?" Another asked.

"Put the weapons down." A police women said. She tightened her grip on her gun. We all dropped our weapons.

"I ask again, who are you kids?" The same cop who asked that question earlier.

"None of your business." Leo said.

"You just killed those things." Another man said.

"Those things are monsters." Jason said. "We have to fight them our whole lives."

I stood next to Percy. "Now would be a good time to call her." Percy knew what I said immediately. He fished a whistle out of his pocket.

"What's that's for?" A woman said as she aimed her gun at him.

"It's the last thing my sister gave me." Percy said then he blew it. It melted in his hand. Next to Annabeth, Clara appeared. Her hands were handcuffed behind her back. She had a bloody lip and her arms were cut.

"What was that?" A cop said as he shook from fear.

"What happened to you?" Percy asked.

"Half of this is from Joe. The other half is from the Shadows trying to rip me apart." The handcuffs froze behind her. She broke the handcuffs. "The cops in Miami hit me with a taser. The next thing I new I was handcuffed and in a weird cell."

"How did sh-she d-do that?" A man said.

"Shoot them!" The boss said.

Clara stomped her right foot. An ice wall immediately formed. It was about twenty feet high. Many police men swore.

"How'd that happen?"

"Did that little girl do that?"

"I'm not little!" Clara shouted.

"I'm sorry, Ice Lady!" The same cop said.

"Really?" Clara shouted.

"She's really mad." I whispered to Percy.

"Yup. You don't want to know what she's thinking about." Percy said. "I can actually see her thoughts. It's really scary."

The police began to shoot again. The bullets bounced harmlessly off the ice.

"Okay, if we drop the guns, will you drop the scary ice wall?" The boss asked.

"Claire?" Percy looked at her. She nodded. Percy turned to the boss. "Fine drop the guns first."

The police did as he asked. Clara swiped her hand in front of her and the ice wall disappeared.

"Explain everything now." The boss said. I looked up at the Empire State Building. That's when I noticed the thunder clouds forming. I looked at Nico. He was looking up as well.

"Jason," I whispered. He looked at me. "What?" I pointed up.

"That's not me." He said.

"Hurry up and Explain this or we'll shoot at you." The boss said. Clara hid behind Percy. Nico smiled. I guess he knew what was going on. Behind Percy was a little girl about three, with brown hair and green eyes. She wore a pink raincoat and rainbow leggings.

"Why are those boys so scary?" She said in a scared voice. Percy picked her up. Nico was really trying not to laugh. That just made me smile. My brother trying not to laugh was something I thought I'd never see.

"What's wrong?" Percy asked very confused. He was looking around for Clara who was no where to be seen.

"Are they trying to kill us?" She said with irresistible puppy dog eyes.

"I don't know why don't you ask them." Percy looked at the police who had their guns back in their hands.

"Put the little girl down." One said carefully. "She doesn't need to be in the conflict."

"This 'little girl' is his sister." Nico said. I covered my mouth trying not to laugh. The three year old girl was actually Clara.

"Yeah!" Percy said. "You wouldn't kill us in front of a little girl, would you?"

"Why do you think we told you to put her down."

"Put me down. I have an idea." Clara whispered. Percy put her down. Clara ran over to the cops. When one of the men tried to pick her up she screamed. "Stranger danger! Stranger danger!"

"No no no no, sweetie, I'm a good guy. I'm here to help you."

"Then why are you going to kill my brother and his super wired friends?" She pretended to cry.  She was a natural. She probably has done this before. 

"Were not going to kill them, were only going to knock them out and arrest them."

"What for?" Clara was doing awesome. Nico was getting control of the laughter.

"They are very dangerous and need to be contained." The police man said. "We can't have eight or nine teens with very dangerous weapons. Wait where did that blonde girl go?"

"Do these guns stun or kill?" Clara picked up a gun. The police man carefully took the gun out of her hand. "They only stun sweetie."

"Clara hates it when shes called that." Nico whispered to me. Clara picked up a fallen gun and said, "Call me sweetie again I dare ya." Her voice was deadly calm. I think she learned it from Nico. The cop held his hands in the air.

"Be careful, sweetie." The police man realized what he said. "I'm sorry." It was too late. Clara shot him. The other police picked up their guns and aimed them at little Clara (Don't tell her I said that).

Clara as the little girl turned back to her actual self. The blonde hair, icy blue eyes, neon green Camp Key t-shirt, jeans and black boots. She attacked the police with the gun and by kicking and punching kind of like the 'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' fight senes. Clara didn't even use her powers. Now I understand why Alex back at Clara's camp didn't want to mess with her. She was scary even without powers. Within seconds, the police were unconscious.

"So, " Clara walked back over to us. "How was that?"

"Awesome!" Leo said. "How did you do that?"

Clara held up her wrist. A silver bracelet with a silver trident charm and a sword charm. "Did you forget already, Valdez?"

"Oh . . . "Leo facepalmed. "I remember now." Camp Key has bracelets that hold three (rare) two, or one. Clara used to have three but she gave up one for a power to help defeat the Darkness once and for all. Shes used it only a few times.

"We need to fix this problem. I'm pretty sure the news reporters caught it all on camera." Frank said. Clara looked in the direction of the cameras.

"You should've told me about that. Then I would've done it invisible!" Clara faced Percy. "We can't stay in New York and if we travel to CHB, they'd follow us."

"Where should we go?" Percy asked.

"You never met my step mom yet, have you?"

"No I didn't." Percy said. "I think I know what you mean."

"Then hurry up and get in a circle. " Clara ordered. After what just happened, no one hesitated. Once we were all in a circle, she said, "Hold hands or you'll be stuck here and will have to explain everything to the news reporters." And with that we held hands and militarized into the air.
