Okay, so the second chapter was wayyyyyyy shorter than the first, and I didn't like it. I'm pretty sure you guys didn't either. Soooooooo, I'm gonna work on making my chapters longer.
Also, doesn't Dionysus have purple socks and black shoes? Or is it black socks and purple shoes? I can't remember. If anyone could give me the answer, I would be so very grateful.
Lastly, is the flow of the story good? Or do you feel it's choppy? Constructive criticism is welcome.

Connor: Right.

Chapter Three
The Monster in my Closet Was Real!
I chuckled nervously. "You're kidding, right?" Chiron shook his head. "Right. Of course you're not lying."
"Those brainless first-time demigods. Always in denial," Dionysus cut in.
"Dionysus,sir, you can't just -"
"Mr. D. Call me Mr. D." Dionysus interrupted.
"Right. Mr. D. You can't just expect to bring someone here and have them instantly believe that Greek mythology is real."
"Yeah, yeah."He went back to his card game with a goat-boy that I realized to be pinochle
"So.....................if all the gods and goddesses are real...............does that........does that mean monsters are real, too?" Please say no, please say no!
"Unfortunately, yes. But you needn't worry," Chiron reassured. "Just two years ago, Percy Jackson defeated the evil titan lord, Kronos. He shouldn't be back for a long while."
I stood up and started to pace around the room. "So I wasn't crazy! I knew I saw something in my closet when I was seven!"
"True," Chiron agreed. "You most likely saw a dracanae, an evil snake woman."
"This is crazy. This is unbelievable. This is-" I didn't finish my sentence because a tanned girl with blonde hair and gray eyes stepped, holding the hand of a boy with black hair and striking green eyes.
"Hey Chiron," the girl greeted. "Heard there was a new camper."
"Hello Annabeth. Percy. This is Noel Peterson." I waved shyly.
"Cool!"the boy named Percy explained. "What cabin are you in?" I looked at him quizzically.
"She hasn't been claimed yet," Chiron answered for me.
"Oh," Percy said, understanding. "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon."
I shook his hand. "The one that defeated Kronos last!"
"Yup that's me."
Annabeth stepped forward. "And I'm Annabeth, daughter of Athena."
"Nice to meet you. You're very beautiful." She blushed. Percy elbowed her.
"And you didn't believe me....." he smiled.
Annabeth changed the subject. "So you know Nico...."
"Yeah," Suddenly, I felt worried. "Is he okay?! What's wrong with him?!"
Annabeth laughed. "Chill. He'll be fine in a few. Don't worry." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, still a bit worried. Apparently, Chiron could tell.
"Annabeth, Percy? Will you escort Ms. Peterson to the infirmary?"
" Sure thing," Annabeth replied. "C'mon Noel." She took my hand and led me out.
Longer than the second chapter. Yay! I think I did pretty good on this chapter. What do you guys think? I wanna know.
