The Crown of Kronos: Chapter 21

Victoria’s P.O.V

“We’re falling!” I screamed, frantically holding onto the seat next to me.

“Dad! Dad!” Charlie yelled, holding onto anything solid on her way to her dad. Mr. Gray was randomly pressing buttons, but it made matters even worse.

“We’re gonna die!” I shouted, frightened. I looked out the window. We were about to slam straight into the solid earth, into a bunch of Asian tourists.

“Charlie, do something!” Zarana yelled, her eyes bulging of fright.

“I’m trying!” She shouted. A tiny ball of force appeared in her palms, but it flickered and disappeared.

“We’re gonna die!” I screamed, crying.

“Shut up, Vic!” Alex yelled at me.

I looked back at Charlie. The ball was getting bigger, but not big enough. We dropped even faster, and I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the worst.

But then, somehow we stayed still.

Did we just die?

No. Charlie was blasting a wall of energy around us, keeping us away from hitting the ground. Outside the tourists were screaming in Mandarin, horrified when they looked at us. I gulped.

“Way to go, Charlz!” Zarana laughed.

“A little help, Z?” Charlie squinted, trying to keep the wall of force.

“Oh, sorry.” Zarana opened the limo door.

“Dude, are you crazy?” Alex yelled.

Zarana completely ignored her and blasted a wall of air onto the ground, sending us flying high. The tourists fainted in shock.

“Dad, now do what I say.” Charlie ran back to her seat and started directing her Dad of the directions to Paris. I walked back to my seat and slammed my head at the soft pillow. I closed my eyes, trying to compose myself.

“Zarana, what did you see in your dream?” I softly asked, walking towards her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and started explaining everything. I looked at her, terrified.

“Well, maybe.. Maybe it’s not going to happen.” I convinced.

“Maybe…” She sighed and closed her eyes.

I looked at Charlie, who was still directing Mr. Gray. Though she was trying to hide it, I could see a hint of fright in her eyes.

What if it was going to happen?
