We have the key, now all we need are two giant doors that lead to the deepest depths of hell.
The five of us walk through the forest not speaking. "So..." Chrissy says making it even more awkward.
"My peanut-butter!" I yell and burst out laughing. Pshh I wasn't daydreaming about peanut butter...
"what are you talking about! Peanut butter is mine!" She yells back.
"Like your hair!" I say and start playing with it.
"Stopit!" She yells and swats my hand away.
"JEN!" I yell. "WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?!"
"We're about halfway to the doors." She l says. Why she's put up with my shit all this time, I have no idea.
"IM BORED!!" Mia yells. She starts swinging from vines on the trees.
I realize Sean's being really quiet. I slow down to match his pace and slip my fingers into his.
Alexis Mia and Jen start a conversation about what they think will be in Tartarus.
"What's wrong?" I whisper to Sean.
"I'm just..." he pauses. "I'm just worried about Alexis." He says and looks away.
"She'll be okay," I reassure him. "The other Merlains brought her to the best hospital around." He gives me a weak smile and I squeeze his hand a little.

I light a fire and me and Jen make a forcefield around the campsite. Me and Sean find a way to zip out sleeping-bags together. He wraps his arms around me and I rest my head on his shoulder.
Then, in all the craziness, the madness of this whole quest. The near deaths, all the battles, I realize something. "I love you." I whisper.
He smiles and looks at me. "I love you
too." He kisses me and I kiss him back. He pulls me closer and his hand starts to creep up my shirt.
I pull away and pull my shirt back down. I shake my head and look away. I promised myself not until eighteen.

In the morning
~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up lying next to Sean. I move my arm off his chest. "Good morning beautiful," I says smiling at me.
"Good morning!" I say and peck his lips.
We get out of our massive sleeping bag and start packing up the camp.
"CHRISSY WAKE UP!!" I yell and she screams.
"DA FUQ IS WRING WITH YOU?!" She yells and I roll my eyes.
"We have to find some big ass doors that will lead us to the most dangerous place ever," Mia says getting out of her own sleeping bag.
"I'm pretty sure I'm not the right person to be going to giant doors." Chrissy says yawning. "I hate doors."
I roll my eyes and grab the bottom of her sleeping bag and pull it out from under her.
"OW! TORI! YOU MADE ME HIT MY ARM SHIN!"
"Your arm shin?" I ask laughing.
"The this part," she replies holding up her arm to show her forearm.
"That's your forearm idiot." I say and she stands up.

Two hours later

I grab the heavy key from my backpack and slide it into the key hole. There's a loud click and the massive doors open.
