Ransom

Chapter 25: Hazel Zhang

Hazel, Piper, and Sammy sat in the cell, bored beyond belief.

There was shuffling heard down the hall. A girl's muffled screams were heard down the hall. The cell door slammed opened and someone was thrown onto the ground.

Hazel immediately recognized the girl. "Allie?!" Hazel gasped. Allie coughed and leant on her arm for support. Her shirt was ripped on the back, showing that she had been burned.

Her mouth had blood dripping from it, showing that she had been hurt besides the burning on her back. She needed help, and that was all that Hazel needed to know.

Allie laid herself down onto the ground.

Hazel picked Allie's head up and rested it on her lap.

While Allie tried to control her breathing, Hazel wondered why they weren't set free yet.

Allie started to breathe normally again, and so she sat up, clutching her sides with pain.

"What happened to you?" Piper asked. And so, she explained what happened. "The guy unchained me and shoved me out of the plane. We landed here, me not having a parachute, and they took me inside. I kept asking questions, so the guy punched me in the face and gagged me. They took out the gag before I came in here." Allie finished.

Hazel shook her head. Why was Allie some grand prize?

"You guys should be released any minute." Allie said as she took a deep breath.

"We can't just leave you here." Sammy said with wide eyes. Allie gave Sammy a warm smile and said "I appreciate the thought, but it's the only way."

"There is always another way." Sammy said with confidence. "What's your name?" Allie asked gently. "Samuel, but everyone calls me Sammy." He said.

Allie smiled and said "Well, Sammy, I want you to promise me something."

"Anything, Allie." Sammy said with courage.

Hazel smiled lightly at the sparking friendship. "Be brave, and protect your family." Allie said while she looked into his eyes with sadness.

Before anyone could respond to Allie, the cell door opened and a man strode forward towards Piper. He un-cuffed her. Piper's arms dropped to her sides and she rubbed her wrists.

"Three of you may leave. Your time here is done." The guard said. He took the cuffs and put them around Allie's wrists. He picked Sammy and Piper up by their arms and started out.

Hazel stood, and headed towards the door. She turned around and saw Allie sitting there, her head hanging low, shaking to and fro slightly.

Hazel walked towards her and kissed her forehead lightly. Allie looked at Hazel with question.

"We will get you out of here. I swear it on-" Hazel started. Allie cut her off and said "Please, don't promise."

"Okay, we'll try our best to get you out of here." Hazel said.

"Thank you. Keep him safe, he's important, I can feel it." Allie said. Hazel nodded, stood from her crouched position, and headed out of the door.

The others were probably on their way here anyways. Calypso hopefully told the others about her dream-message.

Hazel ran forward to catch up to Piper, Sammy, and the guard. They were heading towards a door. The guard let go of their arms and took out keys.

The guard unlocked the door and ushered them out. "You are on your own." The cyclops said.

He slammed the door and Hazel heard him lock it. "Anyone got a drachma?" Hazel asked.

Piper and Sammy shook their heads no. "Let's find one and IM the crew."

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

Hazel held the golden drachma that they found after an hour of searching around the castle. They made a rainbow, how that worked in the Underworld, Hazel didn't know, but they did it nevertheless.

"Oh Fleecy, do me a solid and show me Frank Zhang." Hazel said. The image shimmered for a moment before showing Hazel's handsome husband with his shoulders slumped over while eating mac and cheese. "Frank?" Hazel asked worriedly.

His head shot up with hope written on his face. "Hazel! Sammy! Piper! What's happened? Are you guys alright?" He asked. Everyone gathered around the table. Piper gasped and said "Jason, why did you bring Allie?!"

"It was either to bring her and Luke or to have them taken prisoner." Jason quickly explained.

"Where are you guys?" Percy asked. "Hades' castle." Sammy said.

"We'll be there in 10 hours." Leo said. Piper sighed and said "I miss you guys."

"We miss you, too." Allie said.

Hazel then took the time to explain what had just happened, and what had happened to Allie. "Why does everyone want to use her blood?" Castor sighed.

"It's powerful." Percy groaned with response.

"Get out of Hades, we can talk once you're out." Frank said.

"Okay," Piper said. She took one step and fell to her knees. Jason gasped and asked "Pipes?"

"I-I'm fine; I'm just a little wobbly." She said. Jason took a breath and relaxed.

"See you soon." Hazel said as she swiped her hand through the IM.

Now here is where the real question comes in: how the heck are they going to get out of there?
