Author's Note:
Thank you so much for the kind reviews and I am so sorry for not updating for a year! The biggest problem for me as a writer is finishing a story. I try my best to make sure everything is planned out to a T and I end up overwhelming myself and dropping everything.
"I told you it's to the right. The sign said it was North."
"I've been there before Mom. I know where I'm going." Samantha Jinkins gave her mother a curt answer.
"Well it doesn't look like it and it is already noon." Camilla Milah looked at the two woman in front of her, who were fighting over directions to the airport. Camilla looked at her father who was already passed out from driving the first hours of the trip. After seeing that there was no chance of her father waking up in the next hour she laid her head back on the seat and looked outside. There wasn't any cars passing by them anymore and the sun was high in the sky giving her a clue that it was around one. Fields of different kinds were starting to come up but most of the crops looked like grapes.
In the same area where Camilla's car was driving, there was a pick up truck with it's windows down. The man driving the vehicle had dark skin from labor outside and for that parallel reason had a well tone body. His hair was dark and pulled in a pony tail so that the wind wouldn't make his hair blur his vision while he drove. After a while the young man saw the vineyard's gate in the distance. Deciding it was time to disturb the activities in the back of the truck if he didn't want his dad to see his younger brother in his escapades. Lowering the window between him and the back of the truck he knocked the window with his knuckles. "Bryan" He waited a moment for his brother to pay attention to him. "We're here." He didn't have to look back to know that his brother was hastily putting on his shirt while Amy was fixing her lipstick and trying to look innocent. They rolled up to the vineyard and instantly Bryan jumped out of the truck and ran straight past his father.
"Hey pop!" was Bryan's only greeting. His father just ignored the pathetic greeting and went up to the truck's driver seat.
"How was it?"
"Sales were good, this month surpassed last month."
"And?" the father pointed to the girl who was just leaving the back of the truck.
"Bryan." Jay only had to say that for his father to nod in understanding.
"Any chance?"
"No, I prepared all the work for next week. You should be good until Roger comes with the rest of the crew."
"Good. By the way, we're offering your step cousin a ride to the city." Renato Senior said while walking toward the house.
"Does that mean Bryan and I have to catch a ride on the second jet?" Jay joked and wiped his hands with a rag.
"No," Senior got out a bottle of beer. "that means you have to watch out for her while she's settling. Camilla hasn't been in a place so…"
"Hellish?"
"That's one world to use."
"Understand, is she going to stay the full year?"
"Yes, her father is giving her money monthly so she can pay for whatever she needs."
"When should we expect them? I need to talk to the staff about arranging everything."
"In two days, she'll come over after your first day."
Author's Note:
I hope this isn't going to confuse anyone but since we are dealing with reincarnation it is going to be a bumpy ride. From my understanding of how reincarnation works in Buddhism and other religions. A soul/person needs to be reincarnated until one reaches enlightenment. For the purpose of this story, I really want it to focus on how people actually are. I want events and the character's own will to shape them and factor in the karma they create. Please tell me if any parts of the plot become confusing.
Ultimate Challenge: Guess who is our Hera, Zeus, and other main players. (I'll post who is who around third to fifth chapter.
I understand that my perceptions of the Gods can be different from others so I hope you all will find my interpretations of them true to myth.
