The Afterlife

It was about 11:30 at night. I was staying at Camp Half Blood for another week with Frank. Reyna is on her way, she couldn't make it to the funeral. Frank and I had shadow traveled here with Nico once Percy and Annabeth were reported missing. I was upstairs in the Hades cabin. I've had people try to comfort me, but I just shut them out. Frank just hugged me. I love him for that.

I know, I'm a daughter of Pluto. But death just gets to me. I don't know why. I'm just extremely sensitive when someone dies. Now that Percy and Annabeth are dead, I feel like a part of me is missing. They were like, the leaders of our entire quest.

For about an hour now, I've been in my bed, with on and off crying. I can tell Nico is concerned but he's being kind enough to not interrupt.

I can hear somebody knocking on the door downstairs. Who could that be? It's probably another visitor, I really don't wanna talk now. Nico opened the door and started talking with the person. Then, I could hear them coming up the stairs. Ugh. I turned around on my bed, back to the door.

"Hazel?" I heard Frank say. He sat down next to me. I sat up. "Oh Hazel, you don't look so good," Frank muttered. He draped his arm around my shoulder.

"Frank, I don't know why this happens," I start. "Death makes me so sad, not normal sad, like a mother when her child just died sad," I just realized how depressing that sounded.

"Hazel, we're going to get through this together," Frank said as he hugged me. I rested my head on his shoulder and cried.

TIME LAPSE

It's been an hour. I don't have any tears left to cry. I lay next to Frank, with tear stains on my cheek. We end up falling asleep. Until, about 3 in the morning when Nico comes up and screams. Haha, oops?

I woke up up in the morning in an empty bed. Frank had left a note. It read:
Went to the Ares cabin to take a shower and get ready. See you at breakfast.

I made the bed and threw on a dark blue tee shirt. I slipped on some shorts and flip flops. Then I looked at the time. Breakfast was gonna end in 30 minutes. "Shoot, I better get down there" I thought. I ran to the dining pavilion to see Frank, Jason, Leo, Piper, and Calypso sitting at a table together. I got my breakfast and sat down.

"Hi Hazel," Piper greeted me. I gave her a smile and said a quiet good morning. There were still tear stains on my cheek. There was tear stains on everyone's cheeks as a matter of fact. I noticed both Calypso's eyes were red. She must have been crying this morning.

Rachel rushed to the table. "Guys!" She panted. There's a new prophecy. You have to come to the big house now!" Everyone got up and ran. Uh oh, a new prophecy. I hope this isn't that bad. I'm just dealing with too much pain lately.
