Daughter of Magic (A Frank Zhang Fanfic)

IV. Found

I left my tiny room, anxious to get some food. I hadn't eaten in so long. I hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen. It's been about a few days since the two people, who I learned was named Hazel and Frank, joined our ship.

They seemed okay, from what I could tell from my visions. They got along with the others and seemed to know Jason. Annabeth has told me all about them when she comes and visits me during her downtime.

We would talk for an hour or so before she would have to go and do stuff. It was fun, talking to Annabeth. She was so nice to me.

I opened the fridge. There were a few burritos. I grabbed two and unwrapped them to see what was inside. Just general burrito contents.

A board creaked behind me. I turned around. Frank was standing there, staring at me. I almost crapped my pants and dropped my burritos. We stared at each other for a few minutes, our eyes wide.

"Who are you?" Frank asked.

I panicked and ran, taking my burritos with me. As I dashed past him, he tried to grab me, but he missed. I ran up to the floor with the rooms, Frank chasing me, and I cast an invisibility spell over me. Frank was chasing me and I couldn't let him see where I was hiding.

I ducked in the closet and closed it behind me. I slipped in my bedroom door and closed it, taking a deep breath. I was breathing heavily. I might have just been caught.

It was a few hours and I had pacing for the entire time. I was a nervous bundle of nerves. Annabeth soon came in. She didn't look worried

"So what's going on?" I asked.

"Everyone knows you're here," Annabeth said.

I cursed. "So Frank told everyone?"

"Yep."

"Do you know what we're gonna do about it?"

"Nope."

"So what are we going to do?"

"No idea."

I put my hands on my hips. "Alright. Let's say I go meet the newbies."

A half an hour later, I was sitting across the table from Frank, who I had formally met, and Hazel, the other Roman kid. He stared at me uneasily, as if he could sense my power.

"So, you're the daughter of Hecate?" Hazel asked.

"Mhmm," I hummed, pulling off a piece of bread.

"You can do magic and stuff?" Hazel asked and stuff.

I nodded, taking another bite of bread.

"Can you do something?"

I flicked my hand towards Hazel. Purple and blue butterflies appeared and fluttered around her. Hazel giggled and watched them with the smile of a child. The butterflies faded and Hazel looked at me, smiling. She looked happy.

"That was amazing!" She exclaimed.

The entire time, Frank was waiting for me. I made eye contact with him and blinked, changing my eye color. A look of slight horror came over his face. I smiled and changed them back.

As we sat there, we got to know each other. It was really nice to meet new people. Hazel and Frank were actually really nice. Frank was a bit shy but Hazel was the exact opposite. She was outgoing and funny. I had actually felt the Mist rolling off of her when she stepped on the boat.

"So, what's it like at Camp Half-Blood?" Hazel asked.

I tilted my head to the side. "It's really nice. All the cabins are clumped together and everyone's really close to each other. Everything's not about the military. It's more about games and having fun."
