«Goodnight angel»
After the "adventure", not very funny, with Medusa we bought tickets for a train so we could get to Los Angeles as soon as possible.
It was night now, Grover was snoring like a pig and Annabeth was silently asleep.
That night was so peaceful that I didn't want it to pass, in fact I didn't close an eye the entire time. This quest turned out to be really complicated and now that I had a moment of peace it was the most beautiful thing in the world.
I was staring at the ceiling of the train cabin when I heard someone mumbling beside me. When I looked I saw Percy frowning in his sleep, he was probably getting a nightmare seeing the panic on his face so I woke him up.
«Percy...Percy!» I whispered shacking his shoulder softly. He let out a gasp opening his beautiful baby blue eyes then he looked at me like he was a scared puppy «Another nightmare?» I asked him looking at his beautiful features with the light of the moon reflecting on his face.
He nodded silently then scooted a bit closer to me so that I could hear without waking the other two «Why aren't you sleeping?» he asked «i can't» i simply said.
After a moment of silent i talked again «Medusa was wrong...you know that, right?» i said turning to face him «yes...» he said not very convincing «i don't believe you» I said stopping for a second «Percy, Medusa knows nothing about you ok? You're different from the other demi gods, you're genuine, brave and caring, I almost envy you, I wish I was like this when I got to camp for the first time...» I said while my tone saddened.
As I said this, he smiled while his cheeks reddened.
After a moment he talked «Now that I think of it...you never told me anything about your life, I mean, how did you find out that you were a demi-god? When you got claimed? It's sad that I don't know my best friend anymore» He said in a sad tone «Of course you know me, I just skipped the demi-god part, but all the things you know about me are true» I said smiled a bit to reassure him «really?» he asked looking reviled «Yes, except that Grover is my brother» I said chuckling «i can't figure out how I believed that» he said chuckling too «But now I want to know all about you, everything» he said a bit more serious «Whatever» I rolled my eyes playfully «i got to camp at 7 year old, there I immediately became friends with Annabeth and Luke, but that's it, since I got claimed the first day at camp, this always led my cabin mates to be mean to me, they always thought that I was too well treated, it's sad, but I have you, Annie, Grover and Luke after all, that's all I need» I said smiling a bit.
Percy smiled softly «Well, I wouldn't blame Aphrodite to pick you as her special kid, how was you're claiming? It was dramatic like mine?» he asked giggling.
I noticed how he seemed so interested in me and what I was saying, it made me feel special.
«Sadly it was when I rejected a little boy of my age, that led my mom to claim me, a dove appeared above my head and a lipstick mark appeared on my forehead for a few seconds, it was magical, I felt like was special and appreciated for the first time in my life» I said looking at nothing in particular, my eyes lit up remembering perfectly that moment.
