The Chiaroscuro: Chapter 19

Alex's POV

I didn't pay attention to anything else but her. Lorelei Stone. I didn't care about Caleb's death, or the mortal and demigod battle.

All I cared about was her.

I ran as fast as I could in her direction. Tears of happiness flew out of my eyes as I neared towards her. Then she saw me. She immediately startd to get up, but she stumbled and slipped.

Next thing I knew, I had her cold body in my arms. I cradled her softly, so happy that she was alive.

"I-I thought you were d-dead," I whispered to her.

"I guess not." she said, hugging me tighter.

Suddenly, I was staring into her beautiful eyes. Without saying anything, I leaned in and softly kissed her.

For just a second or two, I felt like we were the only people in the world.

"EVAN!" I heard a female voice cry loudly.

I whipped around to see Evan D'Agostino, the son of Athena, in a big chunk of ice. A beautiful lady stood behind him with a cold smile.

Khione.

A distinct memor of Josh hitting her with his storm entered my mind. Then I realized, this could be my chance. My chance to save my sister and my mother.

"I'll be back soon." reassured Lora, and then I ran towards Khione. Before she could do anything, I sent a comet-like explosion of blue energy towards her.

There was a bright flash of light, and Khione was yet again on the floor, her face now charred. Evan had been melted out of the ice from my blue jet, and he was sitting on the floor coughing.

Not Done.
