The Crown of Kronos: Chapter 29

Victoria’s P.O.V

“Charlie!” I squealed, hugging her tightly. We were just cheering and laughing when something struck the girl.

“Oh no… Dad…” She gasped, tears starting to appear in the corner of her eyes.

“We’ll save him. Don’t worry.” I assured her.

“I have an idea.” Alex said, walking towards the siblings. She held out her hand and the helmet appeared.

“Hide, now.” She sternly ordered. We nodded and ran behind a furniture. Soon, the lights died out. I could hear the siblings jumping awake, panicked.

Fingers crossed.

Alexandra’s P.O.V

I took a deep breath and put the helmet on. I soon felt myself melting with my shadow, and I closed my eyes. Darkness soon surrounded the room. Slowly, I moved towards the siblings.

Think, Hades, I thought.

“Wake you tiny, puny mortals.” I bellowed. They jumped awake and looked at me in fear. I smiled victoriously and floated freely in the darkness. I had an idea.

I moved towards them and grabbed Paulo. He kicked and struggled, but he failed. I covered his mouth, sending him screaming with fear.

“I have your brother.” I hissed. Palmira started screaming in panic and walked back in fear.

“Who are you?” She whispered, fearfully crying.

“I am darkness. You will tell me where the girl’s dad is hidden, or you will end up here forever.” I smirked.

“Never!” She yelled, shaking in panic.

“Then your brother will die.” I took The Reaper out, and it glowed in the darkness.

“No, no, don’t kill him.” She begged.

“Then tell me, or this sword will slit his throat!” I yelled.

“Okay!” She shouted, crying. “He’s hidden in Stonehenge.”

I pushed Paulo towards his sister. I took the helmet off.

“You.” She hissed.

“Thank you for the information.” I grinned.

Two tiny arrows were shot at them, and they passed out.

“That’ll keep them that way for one, two days.” Charlie grinned, playing with the bow in her hand.

“We still have to search for the piece of the crown.” I sighed.

“Well let’s go then.” Zarana grinned.

“The Omega!” Charlie’s eyes widened. She ran towards a black and white portrait of a man with “Gustave Eiffel” written underneath. Charlie slided the picture, revealing a hole behind it that contained the third piece.

“Found it.” She smiled.
