☀️☀️Wills pov☀️☀️

I called a cab and prayed to Apollo that it wouldn't be a monster this time. I whispered the location to the driver and we drove the whole way there in silence and when we got close I got the driver to stop a block away. We made small talk and when we got close I put my hands over his eyes.

"Will what are you doing?"

He asked smiling

"It has to be a surprise!" I exclaimed walking him in front of the small shop. I opened his eyes when he saw it was a gelato shop and he gasped and ran inside with excitement and I immediately knew I did well. I walked in behind him smiling. He could be so mature sometimes and so kiddish others. He was looking at all of the gelato flavours his eyes massive as he searched for his favourite. I walk over and wrap my arm around his waist looking for something appetizing. He seemed to have found his as I kept looking. My eyes stopped on a flavour I haven't had in a long time. Mango gelato used to be my moms special dessert. If we had dessert, which was rare, we would probably have mango gelato because it was her favourite and mine. Then we ordered.

"I'll get the triple chocolate on a waffle cone dipped in chocolate please," Nico said politely and I snickered, he had a chocolate obsession.

"Neeks your chocolate obsession is showing," I said still smirking and he started to blush

"Whatever, just order," he replied, angry that I made him blush

"Haha ok, I'll have mango in a bowl please," I said still laughing quietly

"Coming right up," the guy behind the counter said. He looked familiar with blond hair and blue eyes, and then I realized that he looked like Me. Well a younger version, the boy looked about 13 and I wondered why he would be so young and with a job. When we got our gelato I guided Nico to a booth in the corner of the cafe by the window.

"So I'm guessing you like gelato," I said as he started eating his gelato with delight and then he looked back at the boy at the counter. And then back at me

"The boy at the counter looks exactly like you!" He said quietly so we wouldn't draw attention to ourselves.

"I know I noticed that too! Do you think he's a demigod?" I asked worriedly liking at him

"I don't know,"

💀💀Nico's pov💀💀

"I don't know," I said and then felt as if someone or something was watching me. I quickly finished my gelato and threw the napkins out in the garbage near the counter. I made eye contact with with the boy and he immediately looked down obviously uncomfortable. Then a bell rang as a girl about 18 walked in and stood at the counter not even looking at the flavours. She studied the boy behind the counters face and licked her lips. And that's when I saw the fangs. I looked over at Will who must've seen what I saw because he was cautiously walked towards me. The boy looked around, confused and then his eyes widened in fear when he saw me slowly slide my black sword from out of my belt. Either he could see through the mist or he was a half blood. The girl noticed the sword and turned faster than any mortal ever could. She shifted into her different legged vampireish self. The empousia hissed and jumped onto the counter

"Run!" Will said to the young boy but he seemed to be in to much shock and just dropped to the floor and crawled over to the phone slowly.

"Hmm delicious, 3 half bloods in one room" the emposia hissed

Well that confirmed my suspicions.
