A/N: Well looks like the multiple POVs throughout the chapters is well received, I will keep that style for this fanfic most of the time. Also I plan to correct a mistake in this chapter and take a chance to describe the characters' appearances. I hope you enjoy.
JUNIPER
Well not for once I am helping my brother out after so many years of him helping me. Even though he refused to work in the restaurant like dad wanted he still recommends it and brings many customers, and not just the demigods he helps. I packed my things and made sure Will did as well, then I brought us over to a hotel and paid for a room. I felt I owed him one anyways. Of course it is pretty obvious we are not real siblings, he has brown hair and brown eyes while I am blonde with blue eyes, really lacking in resemblance. I am glad Mary has yet to point it out because I kinda hate it when they do, I don't know I guess being together so long I feel that he is my absolutely my little brother, genetics or not. That is the main reason I never went to Camp Halfblood either, even if I would meet many more of my siblings there, but I wouldn't feel like I was with family at all. I bought a four person room at a local hotel for us and made sure to put make Will change in the bathroom, for decency's sake.
"Uh, Mrs. Juniper?" Gina asked shyly, "Would you mind loaning me something to wear tonight? I didn't pack well before I left."
"Sure of course!" I said as I grabbed her a night-gown that I packed, "If you didn't pack that well I'll need to take out to buy clothes."
Now I am not the type of girl to be excited over shopping but Gina having that tiny smile after I said that made me see she liked shopping at least, so that would be a good chance to get to know her better. I gave her my extra night-gown and after we finished changing we let Will out of the bathroom.
"Finally," Will said, "You guys take to long."
"Whatever," I said jokingly
"Well you guys get to bed," Will said, "I'll..."
"Hell no," I said, "You are NOT staying up all night watching for monsters, you've done enough of that."
"Geez fine," Will said, "Well I should at least call up David, we'll need somebody to drive us around."
"Your willing to pay him for gas?" I asked
"Of course," Will said, "I always am."
"Uh, who's David?" Gina asked
"Oh he's a friend of Will's," I said, "He's a bit hard to read but he's nice, no worries."
"OK," Gina said
And with that Will got up and called David up.
DAVID
I am David Kingswood. I am probably the biggest nerd you could meet. A ton of people would describe me as "beautiful." Do you have any idea how weird that is for a guy, especially with my dad being the god of death. I wish I got why that was. Due to some experiences in the past, I am not to sociable, I am very awkward and shy. My pal Will a while back tried bringing me to Camp Halfblood but later I decided to instead help him out whenever I could. I actually have my license so I tend to give Will a ride down to California when he finds a child of a roman god. Of course I don't do that for free, gas is expensive after all. Will is one of the few friends I got and I am OK with that. Today I just got home from work, Today was my last day, I quit after being unable to handle dealing with my coworkers. I regretted not having a job to go to before leaving though. But whatever I could get another one soon. I then heard the phone ring, I didn't recognize the number so I ignored it the first time. When I got called a second time by the same number I picked up.
"Hey Dave," Said a familiar voice.
"Will!" I said, "Been a while. How are you doing."
"Pretty good," Will said "Got a group of little girls to the camp today and took up protecting another girl"
"So soon?" I said, "Geez if you found her in New York you should take less than an hour to get back there."
"Well this one is a little different," Will said
"Oh geez am I gonna need to drive to California again?" I said
"No no," Will said, "She actually ran away from the camp, and I can't just let her stay out here alone, I am hoping to convince her to go back to the camp. But that could take a while, and I think I could use your help."
"Really now," I said, "Well then sure, I have a free schedule for a while so I could help you. You still have to pay for gas though."
"Of course," Will said, "It's no problem."
"OK just give me the address and you can expect me there tomorrow morning," I said
"Great," Will said, then he gave me the address of the hotel they were at, luckily it was pretty close by, and I hung up. I felt glad to have something to do with my time, and with Will paying for gas I feel like at least for a while I can feel safe without a job. I went to bed early so I could make sure to pick them up the next morning. That night I had a dream about a woman, who was admittedly kinda pretty, being tied up by a snake. She has a very creepy smile though. It scares me a lot every time I have this dream, and I can never see the full snake, heck I have never seen it's beginning or end. The woman spoke but I could not hear her, and something told me I did not wish to.
WILL
"Alright we got a ride," I said
"Um," Gina said, "Where are we going exactly?"
"Just around the city," I said, "We gotta keep moving to make sure monsters don't attack you."
"Oh," Gina said, "O-OK then."
In truth there was more to it. I felt that traveling around gave me a chance to gain her trust and figure her out. If after a while she still doesn't want to go back to the camp, she at least would know her way around and Me, Dave, and Juniper can help train her. After a bit maybe I'll ask her who her godly parent is, but sometimes that can be an uncomfortable thing to ask for some people as I have learned over the years. I've done this once before and David knew the process. Juniper as well, which is probably why she came along since last time I was exhausted when it was all done. Last time was that son of Hephaestus I mentioned who made my knife, good old Carl. He also made a weapon for David. He is very talented, ESPECIALLY with his work on David's weapon. Maybe I could contact him to make Gina one if she stays outside the lines, but all in due time. For now I just wanted to get to sleep.
GINA
I waited with Juniper and Will were both asleep. I let out my little buddies and quietly talked with them about what happened. I felt so happy to be out of the camp, that I could have a fresh start. Will and Juniper are so nice to me, I don't want them to know about who my father is, I don't want to ruin my chance to make friends. But I was very excited to go shopping with Juniper, I used to shop all the time with my friends back when I went to school, but my natural dyslexia and ADHD made it hard for me to stay in school, and after my friends drifted away from me I just dropped out. I hugged my little clay buddies and kissed them all good night, hoping that this David guy would be nice too. I had them all get back into my pack so that nobody would discover them, last thing I want is to lose any more of them then I already have. And with that I just lie down in bed and drifted off to sleep.
