Hazel XXX

As soon as the dagger left her hand, Hazel's vision cleared and she felt a spike of pressure be removed from her forehead. So that's what the boys felt like. she thought. Hazel looked around and didn't recognize where she was. What the heck? how did I get here? She did a full turnaround and saw two things that immediately made her panic.

One was that Leo was lying on the ground, unmoving, but she didn't get to analyze why because she noticed that Piper was about to get eaten by a hell hound. Quickly springing into action, Hazel ran toward the distressed Daughter of Aphrodite, picking up a rock and aiming it at the monster's head. She threw it in hopes of distracting the over sized Rottweiler, so that piper could rearm herself with her dagger, which was lying a few feet off to the side. Hazel was successful as the rock made it's mark on the dog's temple. She could hear the Thunk of empty space being rattled from where she stood.

The hell hound turned toward her with hate in it's still- vibrating eyes. She armed herself with another rock, but it was unneeded as Piper appeared and stabbed the creature in the head. Before the monster fully dissipated into dust, Piper took off in Leo's direction with Hazel following close behind.

I wonder what happened? she thought, and she got her answer soon enough. When they reached their fallen friend, Hazel saw why Leo was in this condition. He had a six inch dagger sticking out of his chest, just about two inches away from where his heart lay. Her six inch dagger. NO

"Piper," Hazel could hear the desperation and disbelief in her shaking voice, "Is that- ?did I-?"All the girl gave in answer was a shake of her head and a glare that would do Lupa proud. Hazel's world seemed to move from under her and she fell to the ground, shaking.

No, how could I kill Leo? I don't remember any of this. it cant be true, PLEASE don't let it be true!

"How did I-?" she asked again, but Piper interrupted, her voice a bit softer, but she still had tears staining her face, and her hands were red from trying to staunch Leo's blood flow. 

" hazel, it's not really your fault. You were being possessed by something. We'll talk about this later ok? We need to focus on Leo right now." Her voice was barely louder than a whisper, but hazel nodded, still in shock.  

How could something posses me to kill Leo? I don't remember any of this. The last thing I do remember was fighting the Drakon and seeing Nico die right in front of me, but none of this. If Leo dies because of me........ 

"Yes hazel, you'll never forgive yourself will you? Gaea said. Well what about all of the other deaths you've caused Daughter of Pluto? Remember, all that I do is because of you." The voice receded, laughing, as Jason and the rest of the demigods including Thalia and Bianca came running into the clearing.  

"Piper!" Jason yelled, looking worried, though there was a hint of relief heard in his voice. "We heard you screaming, is everything-" his eyes fell on Leo 

"No. " he muttered and ran to Leo's side, who's breathing was becoming more labored by the minute, quickly followed by everyone else.  

"What happened?" Frank asked, his voice cracking. Sure he and Leo might it get along but, nobody deserved a knife to the chest. Everyone looked at Hazel and Piper expectantly.
