Saviors of Chaos

Chapter 24

Piper Pov

"Alright, everyone who's not dead back to the cabin, we need to talk about some things, and I want to take this hood off." Annabeth said standing from the table and looking at us. I was feeling the exact same way, I use this damned hood way too much.

As we went off I noticed Hazel walk to the Hades cabin, wonder what she's doing.

I walked in and took off my hood feeling the harsh florescent lights on my eyes blinding me for a second. I sat down on the couch waiting for Annabeth to get started.

"Ok Hazel, at the moment, is with Nico. He sorta figured out who she was. She said she won't tell him who we are, and will try to get information about other, things. So in light of that, if she does I want every one of us to be around." Wow, maybe she'll know why they left us, finally.

Hazel had been gone for quite a while, then again, if I were in Nico's shoes I would have asked way too many questions.

The door finally creaked open and Hazel stepped in. She was looking down at the ground, like there was something on her mind and there was no making sense of it. There was a pregnant pause before she said anything. "He told me why, I'm not sure if that's what they wanted him to say, or if it's the truth." She looked up at us, her face troubled.

I came over to her and engulfed her in a tight hug, we had grown close together as the years passed, sharing our stories of our roman exes as well as trying to bash them in any way possible so we wouldn't miss them as much. She immediately started letting tears slip from her eyes, she shook at the force of her cries that she didn't want to make know to the others. I whispered comforting words to her and led her to the couch to sit with the others. She eventually calmed down enough to tell us what happened.

"He said that everyone, including the campers, were under some kind of mind control." She sniffed and wiped her nose with a tissue that was previously given to her. "He told me he lost the two most important people to him the day we left, even told me he would kiss the daylights out of you, Will," he looked up at her when he heard his named called. "He told me that Frank still misses me, I want to believe him, but I don't know. He wasn't there when we broke up, he didn't see my heartbreak." Her head was still down and the tears were starting to come faster.

"I think we need to reveal ourselves, or at least one of us to our ex." Calypso said trying to put in her piece.

"I don't know," I said, "it could be dangerous, and a trap." I don't want my friends hurt again, not after last time.

Annabeth spoke next "I know it will be hard, but if Nico was telling the truth then we should have a person out with them, getting the words straight from the horse's mouth."

"P-please don't make me. I don't want to see Frank." Hazel stuttered. I sat down next to her and rubbed her shaking back.

"It's ok Hazel you've done enough," I looked up to the others, "I'm not either, I haven't talked to him much and don't want to risk it."

Will stepped up off of the recliner he was in "I'll do it," he smiled "anyways I might just get the daylights kissed out of me." He smiled at his little joke. "And that had better be one damn good kiss if it does."

We all gave him tight smiles for the effort in trying to make us laugh. "Ok, but please be careful, and don't stay out all night. Even if he does accept you. And if he does I want you to bring him back here so he can help us understand all of this nonsense." Annabeth said as he started to walk out the door.

"What do I get no alone time with him?" Will replied sarcastically while flipping up his hood and turning the door knob.

I smiled a real one too. "You can have him all to yourself after that," I said winking. His cheeks flushed red from beneath his hood and slammed the door on his way out. We looked at each other and started busting up laughing, the type of laugh that gets so infectious even Hazel, with her tear stained face, to start busing her gut.
