"Aria, Nevaeh, come with me," I turned around to my friends. "Let's go find out what Hazel, Annabeth, and the other girl are... talking about."

"And what about Armani and I?" Phoenix crossed his arms.

"Yeah, how come you're just taking the girls?" Armani leaned forward. "What are we, chop liver?"

"Hey, only girls are there, they could be talking about anything," I smirked. Armani wrinkled his nose, clearly both alarmed and disgusted by what I just said.

"Fine, Phoenix and I will go do cool boy stuff," Armani said, jokingly sticking his nose in the air and crossing his arms.

"Or," Phoenix said, the tiniest of a smile appearing on his lips, "We could not make this about gender and just do what Embry says."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Armani shook his head. I smirked, kissing him on the lips quickly before heading down the hill with Aria and Nevaeh on either side of me. I was trying to be discreet so no one would notice us or think too much of it if they saw us.

We began to walk towards the cabins which was the direction I saw the other girls go in. We reached the circle of them, now the only problem being was deciding which cabin they were in. There was Athena as a possibility, with that being Annabeth's cabin, then the Hades cabin since Hazel was a daughter of Pluto. But I had no idea who the Puerto Rican's godly parent was.

"Where do we look?" Nevaeh said, looking around at the cabins.

"Um, let's check the Athena cabin first, then Hades, and if not, we can try the Hermes cabin, I guess?" I said.

"Sounds excellent," Aria said, nodding in approval.

We ran over to the white Athena cabin, and lucky and surprisingly enough for us, we heard voices inside. We cautiously walked over to a window that was conveniently cracked open, a little too perfectly. Almost as if this was some bad fanfiction plot device.

"-t do you mean, Reyna?" I heard Annabeth's voice demand. So we had cut in on the middle of a conversation. Not very surprising, actually.

"Seriously," Annabeth continued, "This is how I've always acted. You're the crazy one!"

"No, no I'm not. And even worse then your complete personality change is... whatever that's happening with Hazel. Haze, we all know something more is going on," The Puerto Rican, 'Reyna' apparently, said.

"Hazel, everyone here loved you so much. You do know you can trust us with anything, right?" Piper leaned forward.

"Yes, but everything is fine, it-" Suddenly, Hazel's voice broke. A moment later, she began to sob, stuffing her face into her hands. "I-I'm so sorry!" She stuttered, her voice quivering.

"Hazel," Reyna and Piper said, voices full of remorse. Reyna, Piper, and Annabeth all went in to hug Hazel tightly. You could tell the Reyna girl wasn't incredibly familiar with going through with that embrace though.

"Hazel, what's wrong?" Piper said. "Please talk to us. We're so worried about you."

"I-I can't tell you," Hazel choked out, "He-he said if I told anyone anything he would k-kill me." She began to sob even harder, her curls shaking. Seeing how broken Hazel was caused a sharp pain to sear through my chest, the remorse overwhelming. I wanted to stop what we were doing with The Book to her, it was just so awful. But... but the mission was more important.

"Someone is giving you death threats?!" Reyna demanded. "Tell us who he is! He's not going to kill you, Hazel, we won't let him lay a finger on you! We're going to kill him instead!"

"Uh, we won't take it that far," Piper said nervously, "But we're definitely going to make him wish he was dead. We just need a name, Haze."

"But- you would never believe me anyways," Hazel said, her face twisted into one of pain, absolutely mortified. The girls in there all just squeezed her tighter.

"Of course we'll believe you. Now give us their name so we can, you know, kick their ass," Reyna said, and I could tell she was 100% serious. I was actually fine with that. It would help with our mission, and the abuser, Frank, would actually get what he technically deserves. Even though we should be the ones getting punished, we turned him into that monster.

"Okay, f-fine," Hazel winced, her fists clenching as she prepared herself for what she was about to say, "It's.... it's Frank. I'm so scared! I can't take it anymore!" Hazel burst into tears, sobbing into Reyna's chest.

The girls all pulled into a somehow even tighter hug, Reyna clutching Hazel the most as Hazel sobbed into her, Piper rubbing Hazel's back comfortingly, and Annabeth laying her head on top of Hazel's. Except now, Reyna and Piper's faces had darkened, a look of fury on them, their eyes even scarier looking then Frank's had been just before.

Reyna opened her mouth to say something, but before I could listen, I heard a voice behind us. "Uh, what are you guys doing?"
