The Lost Zeppeli (Jotaro Kujo x OC)

Chapter 3

THE NIGHT BEFORE

_________________________________________

Jotaro was in his room, on his bed writing down in his journal until he heard voices from outside his room.

"Would you like to meet my son? He's a kind soul, I promise!"

"Maybe some other time, Mrs. Holly. I just really need to get some sleep."

The girl's voice had a hint of distressed but overall a smooth and delicate voice. He looks over to the door and stands at it, listening closely.

"I'll bring tea later, but don't hesitate to ask me for anything, Alright?"

The door on the other side was shut and Jotaro comes out of his room and watches his mom leave the hallway without knowing her son was behind her. He looks at the door and comes closer and puts his ear to it.
His eyes widen as he hears crying from the other side. He wanted to open it but felt like he would bombard the guest. The light of the room goes out and he makes his way to the dining room and sits down in front of his grandfather and next to him was Avdol.

"Ah Jotaro, how has your day been since I got you out of jail?"

He says nothing. His mind went to the person crying.

"Who is she?"

Joseph looks up at his grandson.

"Who is what?"

Jotaro rolls his eyes at the old man.

"The girl staying with us. I heard her earlier. Who is she, old man?"

Joseph sighs and hands him a picture of a 12 year old girl. Jotaro examines it carefully. A smiling girl with dark bouncy curly hair, green with hints of gold specs in her eyes were... memorising to him.

"Her name is Octavia Zeppeli. That's just a picture from several years ago. She's one of the last known people of her bloodline that is connected with the Joestar family legacy. She's an archeologist and a hamon user. Me and your great grandmother taught her years ago."

He looks back up at his grandfather as he listens.

"Her mother was a renowned archeologist but she died at one of her excavation sites many years before. I made it my priority to set her on the path that she wanted at a young age. She's smart, trusting, sweet, and overall the most open like person you could ever meet."

Jotaro nods and holly makes them some soup and dumplings. After a bit, Holly puts everything away and jotaro comes over to her.

"What do you think of her?"

Holly looks up at her son.

"Oh? Octavia? She's a kind girl. She seemed very out of place when she came with your grandfather. Give the girl time. She's probably asleep right now. Try not to wake her, okay?"

She smiled brightly.

"Tch whatever."

He made his way to his room and looks at the door in front of his. The girl he hasn't seen never came out at all.
He quietly opens the door to the room and looks inside. Nothing out of the ordinary, he quickly shuts it and sighs. It was too dark to see her. He didn't realize that Joseph was standing with a cup of tea in hand and just stood there with a shocked expression on his face.

"What were you doing, peaking in Octavia's room?! Have you no dignity, Jotaro?!"

Jotaro was silent.

"She hasn't came out all night. What's her deal?"
