Hazel POV

Hazel was almost asleep by the time her kidnapper came back. She let her body go slack as she pretended to be asleep. She carefully looked out one eye to watch the boy. He came in, his eyes no longer red, but now black.

His tentacles moved him sluggishly as if he'd just had a huge meal. With a sharp breath, Hazel realised that it was entirely possible that he just ate a person...

Her suspicions were confirmed when the boy threw a pile of human bones onto the floor. She wanted to throw up when she saw him wipe blood off his mouth, but kept silent.

She watched carefully as he sat on a rock, his hands covering his face as he began shaking uncontrollably. She was confused, but quickly realised he was crying.

Crying?

Why would he cry?

She held all of her questions in her head as he stood up, his eyes puffy. The boy then moved over to what looked like a make-shift bed, he rolled over, his face towards Hazel, and he began snoring loudly. Every time he opened his mouth, Hazel could see his blood stained fangs.

She didn't know how to feel about him. Part of her was sympathetic, part of her wanted barf, and part of her was just plain terrified.

Will POV

Okay. Will was not prepared for that.

Everyone stood slack-jawed on the dock, staring at the space where Hazel had been. Frank looked heartbroken, careful tears forming in his eyes.

"W-where? H-how?" He whispered to no one in particular.

"I-I don't know," Will said. He felt guilty. This was all his fault wasn't it? If he'd just...

"Will, it's okay, no one blames you," Frank said, and in his eye, Will could tell he meant it. "But we have to find her!"

"Frank, I want to find Hazel just as much as you do, but we can't go in there without a plan," Annabeth said.

"Annabeth, I love and respect you, but we might not have time for a plan. We don't know how long he keeps people prisoner. We don't even know if he keeps people prisoner at all!" Percy said.

"So what? We just go down there and risk everyone dying? We need a plan," Annabeth said firmly.

"I agree with her. We have a better chance of us all surviving if we make a plan tonight, and we go down there before dawn," Reyna said.

"R-Reyna's right. Let's make a plan. We'll be there way before the sun rises," Frank said confidently.

"Yeah, from what I've heard on the news, the monster doesn't wake up until very late in the afternoon, and does all of his hunting at night, so he should be asleep," Piper chips in.

"But if he does all of his hunting at night, why did he come just now?" Jason asked.

"Probably because Will called him. It's the most likely answer," Annabeth said.

"Okay, let's go do something stupid that's bound to get us all killed!" Leo said cheerfully.

"Loving the enthusiasm, Repair Boy," Thalia said sarcastically.
