Reader x Will || Sunset Moment

Edit 08/21

To the reader who commented about the nomads, thanks for correcting me! They should be naiads, which are water nymphs that dwell in rivers and lakes in Greek mythology. Nomads, who come in clans, are homeless travelers according to seasonal change.

*Will's POV*

First thing in the morning, I woke up and sat up from my bed because my half-siblings splashed a bucket of ice water into me.

I groaned. "Guys, since when were you children of Hermes?" My voice sounded a little groggy.

"There's a new comer," one of them said. "And I guess we're the only people who aren't outside. Now speed up Will!"

"Okay okay just give me a minute," I said, putting on my Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and a red hoodie. As we followed into the crowd I found myself with Lou Ellen. One of my friends and a daughter of Hecate.

"Good to see you Will," she told me.

I smiled at her and asked, "Who's the newcomer?"

"Well, she's. . .right. .there. . ." She pointed across the crowd and infront was a girl with (h/c) and (e/c).

"What's her name?" I asked, a bit curious. I've never done this to any newcomer before. But she just looked...familiar...

"Unfortunately, I don't know her name. But you can ask her later. She'll be staying in any cabin she wants. But if she don't want to choose Chiron will tell the cabin to where she'll temporarily stay," Lou answered.

I nodded and continued to stare at her. Until I felt a nudge of an elbow to my arm. I turned to my left side and saw Piper smirking at me. "Guess you like her, huh?"

"She just looks familiar to me," I turned back to the girl. I just hope she is really the girl I've been looking for for years, I thought.

It was now 4:00 in the afternoon and yet I still didn't have the opportunity to talk to her. The campers started asking her so many questions and especially the boys asked if she had a boyfriend.

So I turned out to be jealous.

I sighed and sat up, leaving my food. I headed toward my cabin and put a huge and old box on my lap. I opened it and found bracelets, archer figurines, cards, a cellphone, a wallet, and a picture.

I stared at the picture.

It was me and my girlfriend. We were in McDonald's in the picture, and that was when and where she died. We were having a date that day, I was sixteen and she was fifteen. Until a kindly one came to attack me. Everything happened too fast. Explosions and smoke spread in McDonald's and I heard my girlfriend scream. As everything cleared she was gone.

It was my fault.

I should've not used my phone. And now a kindly one located me. I blamed myself from losing her. I kept looking for her for two years. Not until I found a girl who looked exactly like her, except the girl grew taller.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I felt guilty for what happened. Losing her was losing half of my life.

"You must be Will, right?"

I turned around and saw the newcomer. "Um, hi," I stood up and walked towards where she was. She was leaning her side on the door frame. "So what made you come here?" I asked.
