*First book to the Daughter of Magic Series. Takes place during Mark of Athena*
Esmeralda Weber is the daughter of Hecate. Esmeralda is a headstrong girl with an attitude and fashion sense that puts the Aphrodite girls to shame. When she finds out t...
It wasn't a good landing though. It hurt like hell. I sunk under the water, watching the monster. I was calm, though. Hecate had power over the ocean, sky, earth, and the underworld, so I wasn't too worried about being in the water. Except there was a giant ass monster in the water with me.
I immediately started swimming backward. It didn't notice me, luckily, so I got away somewhat safely. I surfaced near the front of the boat and clung to the side, staying there for a while. I was panting and was soaked. Unfortunately, I was wearing a white dress - big mistake - so it was probably super see-through.
I made the water lift me up to the deck of the ship. I fell onto the deck and coughed a bit, spitting out some water. Piper and Annabeth ran up to me and kneeled beside me, checking on me. They sat me up against the railing. Soon everyone gathered around me.
"How'd you get up here?" Annabeth asked. "Did Percy help you up here?"
Percy shook his head, looking confused as hell.
I shook my head as well, coughing again. "Nah, fam. I did it. I got myself up here."
"How?" Jason asked. "You aren't a child of Poseidon."
"You're right," I answered. "But you're forgetting something. Hecate, my mom, has control over the ocean, earth, sky, and underworld. So her children get that power over them as well." I pointed at me. "Ya homegirl got some skills, my dude."
"So you essentially have the same skills as me?" Percy asked.
I nodded. "Yes, I do, homie."
"Dope!" Percy exclaimed, giving me a high five. "I'm not the only one!"
"How come we didn't know this?" Jason asked.
"Y'all guys should pay more attention to gods like my mom," I replied. "She's hella powerful, my dudes."
Annabeth placed a hand on my knee, still worried. "Are you okay though?"
I nodded. "Of course. I'm going to go change."
I looked around, suddenly realizing something. "Where's Leo?"
"That's the concerning thing," Piper said. "He, Hazel, and Frank disappeared overboard and we can't find them."
I cursed in German. "That sucks. Has anyone tried to fix the sensors?"
"What sensors?" Annabeth asked.
"The sonar one," I said, looking at them. They were looking at me, confused. It was then I realized that they couldn't read minds. "Leo didn't put on the sonar senses and that's why we couldn't detect the monster."
"I'll go fix that," Annabeth said, moving off. Everyone dispersed from around me and started repairing everything.
I got up and squeezed my dress out as I walked across the deck. "Imma go get changed. I'll be back in a sec."
