Frank ran up the staires, with Jason, Piper and Hedge right behind him. They had all heard Hazel scream and they knew something was up. After quickly grabbing their weapons (or big sticks in Hedge's case) they sprinted onto the deck.

Piper gasped. Hazel was being held by two big guys that were wearing Roman styled armour. Her head was hanging down so Frank wasn't able to see her face. A horrible taste filled his mouth.

"She isn't-"

"Dead?" the guard on the left replied. "No, but she might as well be."

In response Hazel let out a sob which broke Frank's heart into....a lot of pieces.

Jason raised his sword at him. "What do you mean? And who's leading you? I seriously doubt that you two just came here for no reason."

The guard on the right answered "Yeah we were led. But I wish we hadn't been."

Jason lowered his sword a tiny bit. "What do you mean?"

Before either one of Hazel's captors could reply, an annoyingly familiar voice said "Say the line Rylee!"

"Do I have to?" Rylee (the guard on the right) complained.

"Say the LINE!"

Rylee let out a tiny sigh of despair and said "He's bad. He's mean. Teddybears have nightmares about him. Give it up for......Octavian."

Jason gave Frank a look like seriously?

Octavian then came out from behind the other guard, his head held high as if he were thinking Thats right. I'm a teddybears worst nightmare. Fear me!

"Hello traitors," he said with a cold, cruel smile. "So happy you could join us."

Frank stepped toward him. "Let Hazel go."

Octavian crossed his arms. "Tempting but I think I'd rather have Rylee and JoJo hold onto her. It's much more interesting that way."

"Your name is JoJo?" Jason said, trying to keep a straight face.

JoJo just bowed his head in shame.

Octavian cleared his throat. "Yes yes he has a stupid name we got that. Now, how about we play a game? Which one of you demigods can tell me who is missing from this little party of ours? JoJo put your hand down I was talking to them!"

Hazel let out another cry that was even worse then the first one. Frank wanted to run and wrap his arms around her but he knew that would just result with him getting killed so he stayed put.

"Well, Coach Hedge isnt here," Piper noticed.

Octavian waved his hand with impaticence. "Please that satyr was already taken care of. He's in his cabin with a rather nasty bruise that will definitly need some ice later. Who else is not here?"

Jason pointed his sword at Octavian's nose. "Where's Leo?"

"Congratulations Grace. You got it."

Piper gripped her dagger. "What have you done to him?"

"Why don't we have Hazel here tell us. She was there."

Hazel raised her head, pure hate in her eyes. She glared at Octavian with such force that Frank got a little scared. Their dating relationship was going to be fun...

"Fine," Octavian said. "I'll tell it. So, as you probably know, Roman eagles have been following you for quite awhile, but we haven't been able to catch you. Fourtanetly for us, you took a rather long stop at Rome. Anyway, long story short, we finally caught up with you today. So while you were doing who knows what, me, JoJo, and Rylee, all snuck onto your ship."

"Why didn't the alarms go off?" Jason asked, his sword still inches away from Octavian's nose.

"I dont know. Maybe someone forgot to turn them on? None the less, I got on and snuck down to your stables where I found Hazel and Leo having a nice talk. They mentioned something about a cookie club and going on tv. Absolute jibberish if you ask me."

"Get to the point!" Piper said.

Octavian looked offended. "I was getting there! Learn some patience you dumb Greek girl. As I was saying, while the two love birds were talking nonsense I decided to pull a little..prank. I snuck over to a giant button in the corner that opened the doors at the bottem of the ship. The same doors your friends were standing on. And....... I PUSHED IT!"

Jason dropped his sword on the deck. "No."

Octavian smiled. "Yes Jason. Your poor little friend Leo fell."

Jason charged to the side of the boat, but before he could launch himself off, Octavian said, "There's no point. The pressure would of killed him several minutes ago. Your too late."

Jason turned around and lunged at him, but Piper beat him. In a second she had her dagger against Octavian's neck. But instead of being scared, he only laughed.

"You wouldn't kill me."

"Why not?" Piper growled.

"Because, if you even scratch me, Hazel gets a new scar to that lovely face of hers." On cue, Rylee held out a knife, and pointed it at Hazel.

Piper froze.  They couldn't hurt any of the Romans without getting Hazel killed. They were trapped.

Slowly, Piper removed her dagger. Tears swarmed her eyes as she took a step backwards.

Octavian bent forward and grabbed Jason's sword that was still on the floor. He held out his hand and Frank and Piper gave him their weapons. What choice did they have?

"Now, you are all going to let JoJo tbound your arms and legs. I will take ocer this ship and bring us all back to Camp Jupiter. If anyone objects are trys anything funny Hazel gets it. Understood?"

The demigods nodded. This was it. Percy and Annabeth were going to reach the Demon Doors in Tartarus, but they wouldn't meet them. They would all be prisoners at the Roman camp. It was all over.

Rylee let go of Hazel, so that only JoJo held her. He walked over to Piper and brought out some rope from his pocket. He was about to tie her hands when....

A fireball fell from the sky and set it ablase.

"What the-" Octavian looked up at the ship's mast.

"Hey guys! Miss me?"
