Hi Fanfiction! To those who are confused with the Frank/Jason thing, I think this will clear things up. And yes, there will be Jasper and I think there will be Percabeth. Do not fear! :) Anyways disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from The Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson and the Olympians. And here comes the first Leo chapter!
Leo 4
There was something fishy about "Frank." Like seriously, I just asked him what he wanted for breakfast and he was all like "Oh, I'll make it myself." What the heck! He's a prince! Princes never make breakfast for themselves! Then after I sat there and watched him make his own toast like some idiot he asked if I needed any help cleaning the dishes. I was all like: Uh what are you talking about! Princes don't do the work of servants. I have never met someone like him. For a son of Ares he didn't look that muscular. Heck, he wasn't even Chinese like all the other Ares kids. Something is up with him.
Now I am walking with him to his room. Frank actually talked to me. He started asking what my name is and how old I am and if we could be friends. Uh, no? That's crazy! A prince asking a servant to be his friend. That is just not possible. And who even goes up and asks people to be their friends anyway? We got to the landing of his guest room.
"This is were you'll stay for now until the joust." I told Frank. I opened the double doors to the luxury suite where all the guests of honor stay. It overlooked the gardens, which were amazing, Aphrodite's gardener, Katie, makes sure of it.
"Wow!" Frank exclaimed, "Is this all for me?"
"Uh huh…" I said uneasily, a prince should be used to such luxuries.
"Cool!" He said smiling, then it looked like he thought better of it, "I mean, not as good as my castle back home in Wartopia, but I guess it will do."
"Okay." I said and I held out my arm for Frank to hand me his coat.
Then Frank did the unbelievable, he gave me a high five! As far as I know only common folk are aware of high fives, no member of any royal family I've seen has known what a high five was!
"You're supposed to give me your coat." I explained.
"Oh!" Frank said and he quickly dumped his coat in my hand, "Right, see we don't do things like that in Wartopia."
"Huh," I countered, "Every other part of the Wartopia royal family I've served always knew what to do when I held out my arm for their coat."
"Sorry, must've slipped my mind." Frank looked worried as he stared out the window. "Is it okay if you'd give me some privacy?"
"Sure," I supplied, "I am at your service." I almost cringed that I had to say that, but I knew that I had to make an impression on this messed-up prince about how "great" Lovetopia is.
I quickly ran out of the suite, shutting the door behind me, this was just the opportunity I was looking for. I was going to do a little research on Frank.
I headed straight down the marble staircase and into the castle library, my long curly hair whipping all around. It's a huge place with a glass dome on the top. The shelves cover the entire room and each shelf is filled and overfilled with books. They were everywhere! Books on the windowsill, books on the couch, books on the floor and books flying through the air. Wait, what? Books don't fly. I ran in the general direction of the flying books all prepared to stop the intruder when I saw the blonde hair. Annabeth, I thought.
"Sup wise girl." I said.
"What!" Annabeth screamed looking all around.
"Hey, it's just me." I said, "Calm down. What are you doing here?"
"I like to read. What are you doing here?" Annabeth snapped, "Have you taken a sudden interest in learning?"
"Nope." I replied smoothly, "Have you taken a sudden interest in Wartopia?" All of the books that Annabeth pulled out were on Wartopia.
Annabeth looked around to make sure no one was in the library then leaned to whisper in my ear. "Okay, I don't think Frank is who he says he is."
I smiled. That is exactly what I thought.
"Why are you smiling, Leo! This is serious business!"
"I know, I know, I was just thinking the same thing. Frank has been acting weird this whole morning and I was actually gonna come down here too so I could find out if it was really him." I told her.
"If he's not who he says he is," Annabeth concluded, "Piper could be in danger."
"I don't know about that. Frank or whoever he is seems really nice. Like over the top nice. He offered to help me with the dishes, he made his own breakfast, and he gave me a high five." Annabeth had a doubtful look on her face, "I'm serious, this guy is clueless about what it's like to be a prince."
"Why don't we take a look at some books first," Annabeth suggested, "for all we know he could be the real Frank."
We both sat down. I picked up a dusty book called 'Royals of Wartopia' while Annabeth was reading 'Children of Ares.' Both of us had been educated to read, me by the castle cook when I was little and Annabeth, being a daughter of Athena, had taught herself.
I flipped through pages and pages of old kings and queens who had long perished before the godly war. All of them were Chinese. Why should Frank look any different? Finally, near the back of the book (the castles books always filled themselves with knowledge so everything is up to date) I saw the name. Frank Zhang. "Hey Annabeth, I found him." I called to her. She rushed over and I read out loud. "Born with the power to transform into animals is Frank Zhang. He is the son of Ares and an unknown mother. Frank is kept very secret from the world, as his powers are so amazing. He has barely left his castle. Due to not being out much, there is only one painting of him in the world." I flipped the page revealing the end of the book. "That's it." I said.
"Oh no!" Annabeth sighed and she slumped on the pink couch, "We don't have any proof."
"What do you mean?"
"Leo," she explained, "if we don't' have a picture, then we don't know what she looks like and we can't prove that he's not Frank!"
"No," I smiled, "we've got all the proof we need right here."
Hope you guys liked that. Leo is for sure one of my absolute favorite characters in the Heroes of Olympus stories. Please review and I will update more as soon as I can.
See Ya Later!
