Be honest in reviews, and ALL REVIEWS WELCOME! Here goes...

When Hazel met Frank

HAZEL
Hazel Levesque had never been noticed. Only by Sammy, and that was too painful to think about. However Hazel often thought about him, and what had happened to him all those years ago. Had he forgotten her and found someone new? Gotten married and had children? Had he ever thought about her, after she'd disappeared- wondered what had happened to her- he was probably the only one that had missed her when she had been reported dead.
When Nico had come for her, to give her a second chance, she had been in a state. Hazel had been yearning for her mother, whom she would never see again, in a state of shock, constantly recalling her mother's arms wrapped tightly around her as the black oil filled her lungs while she sentenced her and her mother to death. When she was brought back from the underworld, she gulped every breath of fresh air like it was her last, and saw everything in a new light. Hazel was determined to leave her past behind her.

However, she had been worried. She had no family (except Nico), and had been bullied viciously back in the 1940's. Would she have any friends? As much as she cared for Nico, she knew that he wouldn't stick around for long, and once people knew her secret they wouldn't go anywhere near her. She just knew it.

Reyna had terrified Hazel. It wasn't just Reyna that had created the cold atmosphere in Camp Jupiter when she walked through the doors- she found herself being judged from the second she entered. Weighing her up, deciding if she was something special with cold stares. But when she had met Reyna, her obsidian eyes had cut through her and reminded her of Hade's- the kind that made your legs tremble. To be fair to Nico, he had tried his hardest to give her a good chance- assuring Reyna that she wouldn't cause any trouble, and needed the protection. Argentum and Aurum (Reyna's silver and gold dogs, who know when you are lying) sensed that he was telling the truth, so Reyna welcomed- well, maybe took is a better word- Hazel to meet her legion.

Her first impressions were something like "Oh no! Trust me to get stuck with the hapless ones! ", and when she heard about the fifth cohort's reputation, Hazel was even more downcast. But then she got to know them. The Kool-aid ("They didn't have that in my day!") stained maniac turned into a friendly, even loving (although he wouldn't like to admit it) person. And the shy, mysterious girl turned into a caring, motherly figure to Hazel. Dakota, Gwen, and the others became some sort of family to Hazel, if a broken one.

I mean, Hazel wasn't very popular. She got teased, pushed away, ridiculed, because she was in the fifth cohort. The right place for "freaks" like her. But she trained her hardest, worked her hardest, was determined to be the best she could be, and she kind of felt sure of herself at Camp Jupiter. That all had to change, didn't it. Trust a boy to go and mess up your peace. Venus must have had it in for her, what with Sammy and all.
