Shadows

I woke up at sunrise feeling a little bit energized, but still tired. Nico and Hazel are still sleeping soundly in their beds. I really hate to leave them, but I had to get away from everyone. I couldn't really take the pain or heartbreak, so I'll just run away like a coward. I wrote Nico, Hazel, Percy, Annabeth, Leo, and Jason a goodbye note and left them in their cabins. I have hope they will come to find me or just forget that I ever existed. I went to Thalia's tree and turned around to see Camp Half-Blood one last time. I smiled and shadow traveled away. Maybe, the demigods could finally be happy that their monster has disappeared.

I woke up feeling tired, but I need to get up to start the day at camp half-blood. I looked around to see Hazel sleeping and an empty bed. Wait what an empty bed, where is Isabella. I looked around the cabin carefully because I don't want to wake up Hazel. I found a note on my desk and Hazel's. It's from Isabella. So I read it silently.

Dear Nico,

If you read this. That means I am gone from this camp. I know you are going to be mad or sad with me for leaving you. I'm sorry but I have to leave. I couldn't take this camp anymore and my mind was feeling like it was about to explode. Also, I was so depressed to go on with my life. I am happy that I get to meet you at school.

You helped with me with everything and I would be so lost without you. To be completely honest with you, I wanted to stay with you guys but I can't because I don't belong here at all. I deserved to be all alone and be isolated from everyone. Thank you for saving me but you can't save me now. I'm broken. I hope you can enjoy the rest of your life without me or try to find me and get me to come back with you. Goodbye

P.S I know you have a crush on Will. So, go ask him out already.

Love,

Isabella Rose

I blushed and cried. Why would she leave me and Hazel? Hazel and I can't enjoy our lives without her. I wonder how Hazel is going to react if she noticed that Isabella is gone. Oh no! How will Hazel react to her being gone? I began to wake up Hazel and tell her the bad news.

Hazel POV

I was still sleeping until Nico waked me up.

"Hazel, time to wake up and I have bad news," Nico said

I woke up while rubbing my eyes

"What is it, that made you ruin my beauty sleep," I said

"Isabella is gone," Nico said

"What do mean by she's gone?" I asked

"I mean she shadow traveled somewhere and I don't know where she went," he said

I was shocked. Isabella is gone. Oh no!

"We have to find her, what if she attempts to do suicide or turns into a shadow or go to Alaska or the desert or," I said before I was interrupted by Nico

"Hazel calm down, we will find her but she left you a note," Nico said while passing my note from Isabella to me

I wonder why she would leave us a note when she could've told us that she's leaving.
I began to read the letter

Dear Hazel,

You may have noticed that my bed is empty. So that means I'm gone. No, I didn't die, I just shadow traveled away that's all. Please don't be worried I will be fine. I'm going to be somewhere that I don't know until I become a shadow. I know you are upset about me leaving you without saying goodbye or mad at me. I want to say I'm sorry for everything. I am happy that I meet you. If I didn't meet you, I would be dead already.
