"I'll protect you."

"I’m a Goddess and your a Demi-god, i’m not sure how that’s meant to work" she mumbled she didn’t believe what she said of course and it showed in her voice but by saying that she was sparing them both a speech if Zeus was listening

Vesta and Leo (the-lone-reader)

"Try not to have too much of your wine Bro, just because your off the hook for the day doesn't mean Dad isn't watching you" she warned giving her brother a hug and he brushed her warnings off giving her shoulder a soft squeeze in return and she laughed and she waved at Chiron before she skipped out of the house, she decided to wander around Camp for a bit. See what had changed since her last visit, she walked around saying hi to some of the people she knew and she ended up outside Bunker 9. She went in and she saw a boy there, Leo she thought his name was and she smiled and she made a flame appear in front of him to see his reaction

What if it had all been a dream?

Jessie woke up to constant shaking, she quickly packed up her stuff putting it all in her backpack and Kara and her snuck out the back. Letting the military and the walkers fight it out while they got away, they looked at each other as they walked quietly through the backstreets of Brooklyn. They used to be a group of sixteen, now they were four. Flake, Juliet, Kaylyn, Christopher, Apollo, Nico, Markus, Leo, Erato, Sebastian, Mason and Sophie had all died and Jessie personally blamed herself, she preferred her dreams to the real world. She was a Demi-goddess the daughter of Hades, Nico was her brother, Apollo was her cousin, Erato was her auntie, Sebastian was the Demi-god camp that she went to’s Sword master and the rest of them were her friends. She had a much simpler life in her dreams, not one full of zombies and fireflies and the army all trying to kill you. She was snapped out of her trance when she heard a gunshot from next to her, she started shooting the walkers and clickers in the head killing them instantly. They ran into the front of their home and they set up the safety precautions. They doubled locked the lifting doors locks, they turned on the lasers (personally made by Jordyn) and they turned on the alarms that were watching the door behind them. They went underground and Jordyn and Kami welcomed them back, they waved and Jessie went off to her bedroom to re-load her gun and to think her thoughts. She sat on her bed letting her thoughts wander while her hands just went through the normal re-loading performance, her thoughts wandered to her dead group mates and memories flew through her mind. She had found it upsetting that Flake’s band had been killed in a zombie raid but she had told him that they deserved it since they were playing loud music. He had snapped it at her and she got told to teach him how to shoot a gun she had threatened to shoot him if he didn’t be quiet first lesion. They had gotten closer and what surprised her was how good they could tag team shoot, it was fun and it made killing the human eating bastards less annoying. Juliet had been a good fighter too, she always tried not to piss the girl off scared she was going to get hit. The same had been with Sebastian, Erato, Christopher, Nico, Leo, Mason and Apollo she hadn’t wanted to piss them off either not wanting to get killed in her sleep or hit from behind. It hadn’t happened of course but now she secretly hoped that one of them would hit her on the back of the head one day and she’d turn and see them all standing there. Sophie had been more of a lover not a fighter, Markus had been the scary when angry or when he thought you were lying type of person in the group but she had managed to calm him down before he did any damage that wasn’t replicable. She finally let the tears fall from her eyes and she put her gun on her bed beside her before she started sobbing loudly, she felt horrible whenever they saw Flake’s bands name on a poster or a dead body that looked like any of her friends. Her crying eventually stopped and she stopped snuffling a few minutes after that, she put her gun in her holster and she walked over to where the smell of food led her and she sat down at the table. Kara served her some Misa soup and she ate as the girls talked about random subjects, when they were finished they went to the TV and Kara put on the next DVD of recordings that she had made of the group back when they were high in numbers. Jessie, Flake, Sophie and Apollo were in the pool they had made a few years ago and they were laughing and being random, Kara yelled out a question and they all replied with the same words “No! Don’t drain the pool we’ll get out for lunch” they had all yelled and then everyone had started laughing. Jessie sighed sadly as she continued watching the DVD Why did this have to be real? Why couldn’t it be the dream?

"This was probably a bad idea"

"Probably" she agreed but she continued grinning  "Didn't mean it wasn't fun!"

"Don't bother to struggle"

Leo totally ignored what he am was told, as usual. He pulled and tugged on his bounds, desperate to get free. He looked up at someone he thought was his friend. “Nico, w-what are you doing?”
