The House of Hades

Ready Aim Fire

SO YEAH YOU ALL HEARD ABOUT THE GUYS GETTING THEIR COPIES OF HOH EARLY RIGHT???

HOW FREAKING INSANE

BECAUSE SPOILERS DON'T AFFECT ME I DID SOME TUMBLR STUFF AND FOUND SOME THINGS OUT AND YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE TRUE BUT IF THEY AR THEN OHMYGODS

I just realized none of you know what I'm talking about

Notice- This book will end on Chapter 66. Even if it is not completed before HoH comes out officially, I will finish it. Most likely I;ll be doing another fanfiction for the next book.

Also, I really suggest listening to "Ready Aim Fire" by Imagine Dragons while reading this

Hazel

Slice. Stab. Punch. 

He pleaded with her. "Hazel, we're friends!" "Hazel, please!" "Try and fight it!"

Nothing worked.

"Excellent!" Gaea was snarling from her throne. "Yes!"

Squeezing her hand into a fist, a slab of the golden floor was raised, floating in mid-air. Hazel gripped the knife in her other hand tightly.

Percy's eyes (one was blackened, due to Hazel's beatings) glanced at the gold. "No....Haz-"

"YES!" Yelled Gaea, standing up. Glee was all over her face. 

"AAH!"

The rock had slammed into Percy's head. He lied on the floor in a puddle of blood, deveated and sobbing. The daughter of Pluto blinked, as if nothing had happened.

"HAZEL!" He cried. "STOP!"

Hazel looked into the boy's eyes. Brown met green, and the knife slipped from her fingers. "Percy...." She breathed.

She made to touch his hair, but Percy flinched and crawled back on all fours. "GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"Percy....I'm so sorry..."

"Hazel Levesque," Gaea said, her tone warning. "If you dare-"

Hazel stomped her foot, and another gold rock flew up from the ground and hit Gaea stomach.

"GO AWAY! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Percy was sobbing. When Hazel ran her fingers through his hair, they came away red. "GET AWAY!"

"SEIZE HER!" 

Hazel didn't have time to calm Percy. She grabbed his shirt by the shoulder and attempted to drag him away from the running ogre-guards, but the shirt had become so flimsy; drenched in blood, sweat and Zeus knows what else from Tartarus, that it tore down the back.

This seemed to bring Percy back to life, as he squinted at the coming guards. 

"Percy, c'mon!" Hazel laced her fingers in his and ran. Percy followed.

She pounded on the doors that she had entered the throne room in, but they did not open. Blinking, she realized they had no chance at winning against the guards and Gaea. She turned to Percy, who was staring at her.

"Per-"

Suddenly he had his hands around her throat, and she was gasping for air. "YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!"

"Percy, please-" She choked.

He had the nerve to laugh. "That's what I said. WHILE YOU WERE STABBING ME!"

Then the doors maraciously opened. Percy was so entranced, he loosened his grip and Hazel slid to the floor, spitting.

"Perseus Jackson...aren't you just as delicious as they say, even covered in mud."

Hazel looked up and immedntly regretted it. The two girls that had been there when she woke stood, smilling at Percy's form.

"What are you?" He demanded. A pen was in his hand. Why was a pen in his-....oh. 

"Dracence, baby." The blonde's hands danced over Percy's shoulders, as she circled him. The guards had stopped, staring at the girls. Gaea was screeching at them.

Before Hazel could pick herself up, the dracance had transformed into their real forms- one donkey leg, a flaming head of hair, etc. Hazel had learned about them at Camp Jupitar.

Percy uncapped his pen, and it elongated into a Celestial Bronze Sword, Riptide. He slashed at her, but she merely stepped back, laughing. "You've been weakened by Tartarus, Perseus."

"That," Percy said, breathing slightly harder then he had four seconds ago. "IS NOT MY NAME!" He brought the sword up again and cut her form in half. She scrieked, calling for her companion, but it was too late. The blonde was dead before she hit the ground.

The black haired girl was instantly in Percy's face. "That was my girlfriend." She said in a steely-calm voice. Yanking Hazel to her feet by her curly hair, she bared her teeth. "And you will pay in the worst way, Perseus." 

In a millisecond, she had turned to a halt in front of Hazel and wrenched her in the air from her hair, once again. Hazel yelled, by Percy couldn't react in time. 

The dracaence bit down on Hazel's neck, then yanked backwards, blood smeared around her mouth.

"ACK!" Hazel said as she was thrown into the wall. She pressed one hand to her neck and counted to ten, shutting her eyes tightly, taking in her surrondings. Gaea was running in direction. The ogres had been hurt (by Gaea?) and were yelling in anguish. The black haired dranence was talking, saying something along the lines of "Don't worry, Jackson. I took care of your blondie too." Percy shouted something that sounded like a curse, and then there was the sound of a sword being swung.

Hazel opened her eyes to see all the blood on her hand. It was bad, she was going into shock....

Then she saw the black haired girls head next to her, severed from the body.

That's when she blacked out.
