chapter three
Chased by an ice sculpture?
"Oh, no," I said as I turned to run. A shadow master as an ice sculpture is not what you want to deal with. When I got outside I continued to run. How do I beat an enemy that I don't want to kill? I thought. I may be able to get through to him, though. I stopped, then turned around.
"This isn't you, Sparkles. Your being controlled! Stop this!" I yelled at him. He continued to run toward me. An ice sword suddenly grew in his hands, and he aimed it at me. "Well, this isn't going as I planned." I turned around again and ran.
"What's wrong? You can't hurt him can you? Or is it you won't?" Jessica's teasing voice yelled behind me. "Well then, he'll beat you easily. Sparkles, I want her dead before sundown." Sundown was a few hours away. I heard Sparkles speed up, he was getting closer.
"I have to do a spell," I said as I reached in my pocket to grab a piece of paper.
"Give me speed so I may run
time to escape before the
setting sun."
I said. Suddenly my legs were going super fast, then they slowed. I soon realized that I was flying. I looked at the top of the paper. I had read a spell to help me fly faster. Before the setting sun. . . OH GREAT! the before meant before as in in front of! I thought.
I landed with a thud, I had lost any concentration I had. Quickly, I got up, then started to run for my life. CRACK! Lightning and went across the sky. I lifted my hands, pointed them at the sky, then led lightning right in front of Sparkles before I let it go.
"What was that for?! I was on my way to the fairy hangout and I'm sent down to the ground," said a voice behind me.
I made the mistake of looking behind me. CRASH! I had hit a wall, it was a dead end. I looked around for an escape. I was toast, or would it be ice? I looked over at the girl who had, apparently, been riding the lightning. She had black hair, eyes that were unusually blue, and a necklace that was a flame, I could've sworn it was moving.
The girl looked over at Sparkles then said, "You in trouble? I'll help." She put her hands on either side of her necklace.
"Fire, fire come down
destroy ice and protect!"
She moved her hands in one quick motion and sent a stream of flame towards Sparkles. The ice melted and Sparkles was standing there, not trying to kill me.
"H-how did you do that? Who are you?" I asked the girl, realizing that the flame had come from her necklace. It had been moving, it was real flame.
"I used my necklace, every Fire-messenger has one. My name is Ruby," she answered.
"You don't look like a Ruby," I said.
"Oh, really? You'll change your mind in a moment," she said. suddenly her skin turned blood red and her hair turned to fire. "Do I look like a Ruby now?"
I nodded, "Ya- you do."
"OW!!!!!! Shut up!" Ruby started clutching her head. "It hurts!" She fell over. I rushed over to help her. "DON'T TOUCH ME! You'll only make it worse. Mutants hurt."
"Mutant? I'm a sorceress," I said.
Suddenly she stood up, grabbed Sparkles and ran toward the main house. I ran after her.

Chapter two
Seriously useful information
I was back in my cabin with a book called The Wolfling Guide to everything about Wolflings. I opened it. "Why does Jessica have to be a wolf-ling?" I moaned. I turned to the first page. Wolf-lings can be very dangerous unless raised properly. "Great, now I need to find out who raised her, and how she was raised," I said. I got up off of my bed. I picked up my cell-phone and called Sparkles.
"Hello?" Sparkles asked.
"Meet me at the library with Tiffany in 5 minutes," I said.
"Ok, but how will you get there in 5 minutes? You may be a Scorcerer but you don't know how to transport yet," Sparkles said.
"Just meet me there!" I hung up the phone. I put my phone in my pocket. I closed my eyes and imagined the front of the library. Then poof! I was in front of the library.
* * *
"Your finally here! I've been waiting for you!" I said.
"Sorry Zo, there was shadow traffic. Wait, how did you get here so fast?" Sparkles asked.
"No time for questions like that. We need to find out who raised Jessica and how they raised her!" I said. "If she wasn't trained properly then we're in serious danger"
"What?!" Tiffany said. "Well, we can't just stand around! Let's get in that library and find out who raised her!" We all ran, well fast walked, into the library.
"I'll take the computer, Tiffany the books, and Sparkles I want you to use your powers. I know you can," I said. We all started working.
* * *
"I didn't find anything. There's nothing about a girl named Jessica that became a wolf-ling 10 years ago!" Tiffany said with disappointment in her voice.
"Neither did I," I said calmly.
"How can you be so calm? This is terrible! How are we supposed to know if we're safe?"
I looked over at Sparkles. "I know your hiding something. I may only be a scorceress but I don't know who my parents are. So do NOT. Underestimate me," I said.
Sparkles looked scared. "Well. . . m mmm mmm mmmmm mmmmm," he mumbled, as he looked away.
"Your going down a dangerous road Sparkles. Tell us, NOW!" I said.
Sparkles turned towards us. "A girl named Jessica disappeared!" He blurted. "She disappeared, like, 20 years ago!"
"20 years? How is that possible? Jessica's only 15. This makes ablolutely no sense!" I said. Unless. . . NO! I refuse to believe that she was with him for 5 years! Or more. . . I thought. Out loud I said, " I guess we'll have to ask her."
Tiffany looked worried. "How will we get there? We need to talk to her, like, now!" She said.
Sparkles looked far away for a second. Then, suddenly, his hands snapped away from his sides and gabbed our hands. There was a few moments of darkness, then I was in Jessica's cabin. In a second I remembered Tiffany had never shadow transported before. I turned around and led her outside then I walked back in.
"You had to bring an unexpierienced shadow traveler didn't you?" I asked Sparkles, as I walked in.
"Sorry! I've done it with you before so I tend to forget who's done it and who hasn't!" Sparkles replied.
"What are you doing in my cabin? How did you get here?" Said a small voice. I turned to see a girl with brown hair, that went down to her shoulder, sitting on a bed and clutching a notebook. The girl was hiding her eye's, as usual. this girl is Jessica.
"Sorry Jessica," I said then I gave Sparkles a glare. "We just need to talk to you."
"What do you want?" Jessica asked. She was still clutching the notebook like she would die if she let go.
"We need to know who raised you. We could all be in danger," Sparkles said.
I turned toward him. "Yes, that's just the way you tell a girl that she's a danger to everyone!" I said with a dangerous, yet sarcastic tone.
"Why would I tell you? I barely met you! There is no way I'm telling you who raised me. Oh, and for the record, I knew I was a Wolf-ling years before you did! I need you to leave, so I can got do my camp activities!" Jessica said.
I grabbed Sparkles arm and dragged him outside with Tiffany who was, evidently, looking like she was ready to puke her guts out. "Tiffany do you want help getting to you room? Or maybe a bathroom?" I asked.
"No, I'll get there on my own," Tiffany said.
"OK, Sparkles I need to talk to you." I took him to the other side of the cabin. "That notebook, I know we can use it to find out who raised her. I just know it! All we have to do is sneak in there after she leaves for her activities, then we look in the notebook."
* * *
I waited inside for Sparkles. I had used my wicked awesome new power to get inside, Sparkles was still trying to find the best shadow in Jessica's cabin to transport to. Suddenly he was standing next to me. He looked surprised that I was in, I hadn't told him about my new power. "C'mon! We need to get that notebook before she gets back!" I said.
"Where is it? There's not many places to hide a notebook in here," Sparkles said. "I couldn't find it anywhere I looked before I came in."
"You only looked where you have seen before, and you've never seen the secret compartment in, well, ANY cabin. And every cabin has it!" I said. I walked toward the bed, lifted a corner of the bed and typed a code on the screen that was sitting there. The dresser suddenly flipped over. There was the notebook.
I grabbed it and quickly closed the secret compartment. Sparkles was looking at me like I had just pulled a tiger out of my ear. "How did you know that was there?" Sparkles asked.
"You haven't seen the clues? Wow, you must truely be clueless. Now, let's see what she wrote," I said. I opened the book and this is what it said:
Είμαι τόσο ενθουσιασμένος που ο πατέρας τελικά επιτρέψτε μου να έχουν ένα περιοδικό! Πάω να γράψω τουλάχιστον ένα πράγμα σ 'αυτό γι' αυτόν! Η firsth πράγμα που θέλω να πω είναι ότι ο πατέρας είναι το καλύτερο! Το δεύτερο είναι ότι μόλις Βορέα μου έκανε ένας από τους φρουρούς του πάγου. Θα έλεγα γιατί, αλλά, επίσης, κάποιος να το διαβάσει και να σημαίνει για μένα γι 'αυτό! ~ Jessica
"What the heck? What does that mean?" I asked.
Sparkles looked at the page. "It's in Greek," he said.
"How the heck did you know that? Well, if it is Greek, I can probably find someone to translate it," I said. "C'mon, grab my hand. I have a faster way of getting us to my cabin." Before he could ask why I had grabbed his hand and pictured my cabin. There was a puff of smoke and I was standing in my dorm.
I opened the secret compartment that every cabin has, grabbed my translator, and closed the compartment. "Zoe, you just got us here in less that the blink of any eye! Why didn't you tell me about this power?"
"'Cause I knew you would freak out. Kinda like you are now," I said as I put the translator over the notebook. "It says:
"I'm so excited that father finally let me have a journal! I'm going to write at least one thing in it for him! The firsth thing I want to say is that father is the best! The second is that once Boreas made me one of his ice guards. I'd say why but, well, someone might read it and be mean to me for it! ~Jessica"
"What does this Boreas dude have to do with anything?" Sparkles asked.
"Boreas is a Greek god, and this notebook says he's her dad. It's said that Boreas is very cruel and bad-tempered. He's also the god of Winter," I said.
"And if he's her father then. . . she's a demigod?" Sparkles asked.
"A very powerful demigod, who's also a wolf-ling," I answered. "Grab my hand, we're going to go visit her."
* * *
"What are you doing in my cabin? And why do you have my notebook?!" Jessica shrieked. She ran in and grabbed her notebook out of my hand.
"Why are you freaking out? We know it's in Greek. Why didn't you tell us the Boreas was your father? It is seriously useful information," I said.
"You have a translator don't you? I didn't tell you because I haven't seen him in ages, so I thought it didn't matter," Jessica said as she sat down on her bed.
"Jessica," I sat down next to her. "We didn't know Greek gods existed. It's something our people haven't found out. You do understand that your a demigod? It means your just like your sister Khione, only your the princess of the ice, not snow."
"I know, father would train me everyday. He even taught me how to make people ice guards! It's really cool, I could demonstraight on Sparkles!"
"No!" Sparkles and I said at the exact same time. But it was to late. Jessica put her hand on Sparkles' arm and he was coated in ice.
"Get rid of Zoe," Jessica commanded. Sparkles, still covered in ice, charged at me.
