The Crown of Kronos: Chapter 3

Victoria’s P.O.V

I woke up with a start. Next to me, ringing like crazy on my wooden cupboard, was my golden alarm. I sighed and set it off

Just the start of another day in my demigod life.

I sprung my wings open and got up, yawning. I took my toothbrush and soap with me, and slung a towel on my shoulder. When I opened the wooden door of my cabin, I felt something strange. All the other kids of the other cabins were running to the big house, still in their pajamas. I spotted Alex, who was directing the others to go with the crowd.

“Hey Alex!” I ran towards the blond girl. She turned her head, raising an eyebrow.

“Huh?”

“What’s going on?” I asked her, looking at everyone else.

“A huge trouble. Go with them and you’ll know.” She shrugged.

“Kay thanks!” I smiled and folded my wings. I ran along with them, pacing up of curiosity. And sure enough, I saw something absolutely weird.

Mr. D was lying down on a silk-covered bed, completely motionless. Chiron and Zarana were busy talking about something next to him, serious looks on their faces while Mr. D’s children gasped and started to freak out when they saw their dad. The smallest girl started to cry in an awful wail, while the others tried to calm her down.

“Hey!” Alex ran towards me, sweat trickling off her forehead. She wiped them off and gasped for breath.

“Is this some sort of Sleeping Beauty opera?” One of the Ares boys sneered. The stupid fat demigods laughed with their brother, which was taken offensively by the Dionysus cabin. The eldest, a boy around 16 years of age with curly jet black hair, ran towards them with anger in his eyes, followed by the others, who had the same angry look on their faces.

“So you think this is funny huh?” He yelled, pushing the boy. He fell down on the floor, furious. His yell left the smell of cheap wine, causing the Ares kids to cover their noses. The stupid fat boy glared at him, and pushed him back harder. The skinny boy flew 1 meter and dropped to the ground, moaning in pain. Soon, the Dionysus kids yelled in anger, and started attacking the Ares kids. A big fight happened, with yells and punches. We sprinted towards them, trying to make peace.

And we failed miserably.

I got pushed away when I spread my wings between them, and landed on the soft grass butt-first.My bath equipments fell on the ground with mud all over them.

"Oh no.." I sighed, and picked them up one by one.

“Stop it!” All of us froze.

That voice.

We turned around to see the Big Three themselves, standing in the border of the camp with a furious look on their faces.

Oh dear.
