《When Machines Break》CHAPTER 4 - A dream?

LEO'S POV
I screamed and woke in a cold sweat. I breathed a sigh of relief. It was all just a dream. Frank hadn't really stormed in here and threatened me...had he? I felt my head, nope, no bruises from when I banged it. Hmm.
Just then there were some knocks at my door. "Leo?" Jason called hesitantly from outside. He slowly opened the door and came in. His eyes widened when he saw me.
"L-Leo! You're awake!" He shouted gleefully.
"Awake?" I asked, extremely confused, "What do you mean awake? I've only been asleep for one day, Geez Superman!"
"ONE NIGHT!" Jason exclaimed, "Ha! More like a week!" He said loudly throwing his arms around.
"Wait-what? A week?" I squeaked, very shocked.
"Yes!" Jason sounded exasperated.
Then he started jumping up and down like a hyperactive 5 year old on a sugar rush. "GUYS, GUYS! COME QUICK! LEO'S AWAKE!" he yelled, calling into the hallways.
There was a series of loud thudding sounds like stampeding elephants as Piper, Frank, Annabeth, Hazel and Percy came rushing in.
"Leo!" They exclaimed happily. Suddenly Frank came rushing forward, shaking like mad. Then he rushed up to me and gave me a massive bear hug. Literally, he turned into a bear midst the hug.
"Leo! I'm so so so sorry!!! Plea-Please forgive me! It wasn't my fault! I-It was one of the eidolons!! It had possessed the Hydra we were fighting and when it bit me it possessed me! Please forgive me!" Then he broke down into a sobbing blubbering mess.
I blinked at him with confusion. I then knelt down and gave him a hug. "I-It's okay, it was not your fault" I told him reassuringly. I know it's weird to suddenly forgive him like this, but I know what it's like to be possessed by an eidolon, and I don't want Frank, or any demigods, to go through it, it makes your soul feel icy, you have nothing but death thoughts and evil intentions, then when your are released from the possession, everyone blames you for things you haven't done.

I saw a look of relief wash through his features and he wrapped me in another hug, this time everyone else joined as well. We stayed like that for a bit. As a whole, as friends but mostly, as a family.
That's the end of Chapter 4! Chapter 5 may be out tomorrow or Thursday!

Snereloa Rebirth
In the darkest shining void, an ethereal being holding a scepter floats toward a nebula made up of the souls of the dead from all realms awaiting to be reutilized into the cycle. They aren't a deity of death, but one tracking an anomaly that can't be processed and completely wiped clean as they enjoy calling it. A fresh start, without shackles or remnants of what once was. Life is a price paid by all living beings, but like any transaction, we give it something in exchange for our memories, our feelings, our emotions, our past, and future, our ambitions and our dreams. Those all fuel the fire of creation, but so do grief, and pain. Every moment of suffering is the price, every living moment is paid at our death. Sometimes some have so much piled up that their soul and heart end up damaged. Be it loss of trust or being unable to truly live their life, those shackles are like an anchor that keeps the soul stable when on the verge of breaking apart, keeping it together at an immense price. Those unlucky souls are forced to be put into another life indebted, in the unlikely possibility of their defect healing themself in that new life. Their memories aren't intact after all—everything has a price—and that pain and fear are what they carry, while their partial amnesia is their shackle. This is the story of one such soul, of a girl sent into a world of legend and novel of fantasy, dragons and magic. A world away from what she knew, in which she will hopefully heal, be happy, and survive its side of darkness. Ps: my english is self learnt that mean typo and some other issue will happen but it shouldnt affect the sense of the story if u have any correction u would want me to do or some thing arent clear please tell me
