Chapter 21: Inward confessions

Here comes chapter 21! Well, I did told you on my last author note that I will not update in a while. The thing is that a new idea came to my head and I wanted to update at least one more chapter before it will be harder for me to update more frequently. Also, I decided to make it short because I am going to split the dream part in two chapters. If I can't publish the next chapter later today I will do it tomorrow, I promise. Also, I wanted to write this chapter because my birthday is tomorrow and I thought it will be a good idea to end my last day as a 16 year old guy with a good chapter. By the way, in case you are still on summer brake and didn't get why I was already had homework is because I am from Panama City in Central America and our school calendar is different from yours because the summer season in my country begins earlier in the year. I already made up my mind. That also means that my time zone is different from yours. It still august 21 in my time zone. By the way, this chapter will end with a twist so don't skip to the last line because it will spoil the surprise.

I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympian or the Trojan War characters. They belong to Rick Riordan and the epic poet Homer. What I do own is the plotline.

Read, enjoy, and review!

Rachel's POV

When I was feeling sleepy, I wondered what I will dream tonight. Then, I told myself that there was only one way to find out. So, I closed my eyes and tried to make myself comfortable. Not long after that I fall asleep.

I was in a beautiful garden under the rays of sunset. At first I didn't know where I was but then I thought that it wasn't important because this was only a dream.

Just a dream.

Then, I began remembering the past. It has been a long time since the last time I dreamed that I was in a garden. I don't dream every night but almost all the dreams I had for months included… Percy.

I don't know why he affects me so much. At first I thought it was only because he made me realize that I wasn't crazy: Monsters do exist. I wasn't imagining things. I wasn't losing my mind. It was a great relief, like a weight being lifted from my shoulders and Percy was the one who removed that weight.

It isn't easy being able to see through the mist without knowing what you are actually seeing. I thought I was becoming insane because of all the creepy things I could see and the people around me couldn't. But I am not insane. Percy showed me that.

Then, he asked for my help to aid him in the Labyrinth and I helped him of course. I liked to know that the guy who ended my headaches needed me. The truth is that, even if I am rich, sometimes I don't know what to do with my life; sometimes I get bored. That is another reason that could explain why Percy affects me so much. Percy completely ended the boring part of my life. He opened me a door to a whole new world.

Then, we started spending more and more time together when he was not at camp and I get to know him better. When he told me that he was a son of Poseidon, I believed him immediately. I had no doubt about it when I looked at him in the eyes. His green eyes are different from mine. They look more like sea-green. That was what made me buy the story. I knew he was a demigod though I didn't know which his godly parent was. Then I thought that only a son of Poseidon could have eyes that look like the sea so much. He has the best good-looking eyes I had seen in my entire life.

Oh my gods, I love Percy. Aphrodite knows I do.

There you have it. Sorry if it was a little short but I wanted to divide the dream in two chapters and end this one with that twist. Hope that the PERACHEL fans of this story liked it. I am saying it again. I still hadn't written who I will put as Percy's girlfriend. However, that could happen soon. So, if you hadn't voted yet or you want to do it again with more reasons of why you want that candidate as Percy's girlfriend do it before you regret it. I will update the next chapter tomorrow. Still don't know when in the day but tomorrow most likely. That is, of course, if I am not too busy with friends and family because my birthday is tomorrow.

In the mean time, REVIEW!
