The Crown of Kronos: Chapter 43

Victoria’s P.O.V

“What time is it?” I asked.

Alex looked at her black watch, squinting her eyes to see the tiny numbers. “Oh it’s- Wait.” Her eyes widened.

“What is it?” Charlie asked.

“We only have 5 days left, guys.” Alex bit her lip.

“Impossible! But… We…” Zarana frowned.

“It doesn’t matter. We have very limited time, guys. We have to choose whether to give the crown to Olympus, or go and save the demigods.” Charlie said.

Silence hung in the air, and only the batting of the owl’s wings could be heard as we tried to figure something out.

"I HAVE AN IDEA!" Charlie exclaimed excitedly. "I'll fly, solo, with the crown to Olympus when we arrive at SF. Dad, we'll drop you off in a safehouse in there, and the three of you go to Mt. Tamalpais to fight them."

"YOU'RE A GENIUS!" I laughed.

Suddenly, a golden spark appeared above us and turned into the image of James Skye, tapping the screen in confusion, but a smile formed in his face when he saw us.

“IT WORKED!” He laughed.

“What is it?” Zarana rolled her eyes.

“Eloise, you know, Chiron’s daughter, was kidnapped, and now he’s all devastated and miserable. You’d better be quick.” He said before the image turned blurry like an old TV. “G- lu- B-“ The image flickered and disappeared.

“This is NOT good.” I gulped.
