The Godslingers 4: Chapter 12

Jack's POV

Me and Linda didn't use the flying shoes. I used magic and she used wind. Everyone else used shoes. I stayed behind to talk to her. She silently sobbed. "Linda...we'll find him. He won't die."

"But...he said he loved me."

"He does. When he's around you, love, excitement, and passion flows off him in waves. He's doing this to protect you."

"I--I can pro-protect myself." She sobbed.

"I know. But the Fates are cruel."

She looked up at me, and I saw something new in her eyes. Was it...determination?

"Hey, when we were rescuing Zeus...I kinda yelled at you...."

"Yeah. I'm to hard on myself."

"You kind of are."

"Shut up."
