Annabeth POV: While I was watching them play truth or dare, I had saw Clarisse whisper something, most likely a dare, in her ear, and then they left with Frank. When they came back about an hour later, Hazel was gone and Frank was clutching his stomach, crying his heart out and sobbing in the bathroom. 

       Neither of them would tell us what had happened, but according to Frank's barely legible mumbling, it was all his fault, he didn't do anything about it, and it involving getting eaten by something.

       So we considered Frank out of the game, because he would probably take a minimum of 4 hours to calm down, and maybe a maximum of a week, depending on what had happened.

       The strangest thing was that Clarisse sometimes went on in there to go and check on Frank and made sure he was okay. That was weird, but I have seen weirder. I mean, technically they're vaguely related, both being children of the war god.

       "Annabeth, truth or dare?" asked Clarrisse, who had stopped going to check on Frank because he had successfully calmed him down. Just to put this out there though, but Clarrisse is magical. She can help anyone get through their problems, just like Mellie, Chris, and now Frank.

       "Dare, but I don't want the same kind of dare as Hazel if you know what I mean." I said, and Clarrisse's eyes narrowed.  

       "Okay, I dare you to embrace you abilities in the strangest way possible."

       "Hmm, well, I guess I can do this:" Then I started singing and humming some kind of rock tune, before all of sudden screaming "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!" and pretending to bash the floor, just like how stereotype rock and roll singers used to people who bashed their guitars in on the floor. 

       I also noticed an odd clump, and then a crumpling sound, but I decided not to look until I was done about 30 seconds later. When looked back at where I had been before, I was horrified about what I had just done. 

       I had probably hit Percy on the head multiple times until he passed out, and then some, because the top of his head was bruised, bleeding and suspiciously flat. His figure was sprawled unconscious on the floor, and it was a miracle that I had managed not to realize I had done that until after the damage was done.

       We had to take him to the infirmary, and it turned out he had very minor brain injuries, minor skull injuries, and major skin injuries. He had to stay in there for a few days, then do some surgery to repair his conscious thinking section, the frontal lobe.

       "Piper, truth or dare?" I asked, hoping that she would settle for dare. If she went for truth and I went too hard on her, then she might be completely exposed to some of the other boys here.

       "Truth is definitely better." Damn it! she went with truth. Well, she could easily answer a question about love, couldn't she?

       "What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened with you and Jason?"

       "Can you excuse me please?" She asked politely, a false smile on her face as she made her way to the bathroom.

       "You might wanna cover your ears, Frank. This is gonna be loud." I could hear from the bathroom.

       "Quick everyone cover your ears!" I yelled, and Chris was just sitting looking confused. With me fingers jammed deep in my ears, I screamed, "Chris, quickly! Cover you-"

       The loudest shrill scream I had ever heard in my life echoed out throughout the entire valley, and even us in here with our ears covered wasn't enough to protect us from the full high-pitched scream.

       We all winced, but the one who got it the worst was definitely Chris. He had not been able to cover his ears fast enough, and now he looked as if he was crying. Blood was streaming out of his ears, and his face was contorted with pain. When she stopped, and all that was left was the ringing in our ears, he was passed out on the floor. 

       He had gone nearly deaf in both ears, and 3 minutes longer and they wouldn't have been able to heal him. 

Clarrisse POV: "I dare you to sit in Frank the dragon's mouth for 1 whole minute." I had dared Hazel. 

       "Well, that's fine. I can do that."

       Since truth or dare was pretty much banned at Camp Half-Blood, they had to go very deep into the woods for Frank to turn into a dragon discreetly. When he did though, he towered 40 feet tall, as tall as Porphyrion, somebody that I didn't really like to think about.

       So Frank moved his head down and put it on the ground, his mouth wide open with more than enough room for Hazel. Then he lifted up and, when she said ready, closed his mouth. He had paid attention when I was telling him how long, thankfully. 

       She was at about 30 seconds when I could faintly hear Hazel screaming. Apparently, she wanted to bail so I told Frank to let her out. That's when things went wrong. Frank had swallowed Hazel accidentally, I learned later, because for no reason whatsoever, a giant, fearless looking dragon's eyes widened so large that I got scared.

       "What's wrong?" I asked, while it looked like he was checking his mouth to see if he left his wallet in there. Then his eyes got more and more wide the longer that he patted around his mouth, until eventually he started to pat himself down his body until he reached his stomach.

       I still had no idea what was wrong, but I knew one thing: That Frank's digestive system would be pretty nasty if it was scaled up to match his 40 foot tall body. Then Frank shrunk down to normal size. I ran up to him and made sure everything was okay.

       "Are you okay? Where's Hazel?" at the word Hazel, he burst out sobbing. Then he told me that he had accidentally swallowed her, and that I couldn't tell anyone.

       "Do you swear it on the River Styx?"

       "I swear on the River Styx not to tell the rest of our friends what happened until you are ready." Thunder boomed in the distance "So Hazel's really in there, huh?" I asked, lifting shirt slightly and rubbing his belly.

       "Yeah, she should be. If only there was some way that we could know she was okay." I started to explore some more around his chest, massaging him all over and he didn't protest, but then I realized something.

       "Her phone! She has her phone with her at all times in the Camps, so she can text people when she's safe! I just hope she has it now..."

And that's the end of chapter 7! I hope you enjoyed, and now you know where Hazel is! Also, something is happening with all of the characters, and it's very subtle, so subtle that the first 3 people to say what I is will get tagged in the chapter that follows the comment. Remember, I am always taking suggestions for godly dares that you like and think they should do, just make sure they are obvious and stuff. Stay fresh, squiddos!
