The Crown of Kronos: Chapter 27

Alexandra’s P.O.V

“No! Charlie!” I yelled, running towards her unmoving body. I patted her face and started screaming her name.

“Charlie! Wake up! This isn’t funny!” I screamed, crying.

“She is gone…” A voice evilly chuckled in my head.

I looked back and saw an ugly giant swinging his club at me. I screamed and blasted a jet of lava at it.

“You will pay!” I screamed.

I didn’t really remember what happened next.

All I remembered was going on a rampage, and turning completely insane.

I started to wail in agony as the last row of hellhounds and giants turned to dust. Victoria came running towards me, and hugged me from behind. I started to feel my consciousness slip away as the voice echoed across my head.

“She is gone…”

Then I passed out.

I woke up inside a dark, dimly lit throne room. There were two empty thrones in the center, one made out of a pile of human skulls and a black silky pillow, while the other was a red velvet throne, made out of shining gold. A figure appeared out of nowhere and sat on the skull throne, his cold eyes immediately widening when he saw me. A warm smile formed on his pale face.

“Ah, you’re here.” My father smiled, lighting the candle standing on the wooden desk next to him. The fire died out.

“Stupid candle.” He muttered, but then he smiled and looked back at me.

“What is it?” I sighed.

“Ah, yes. Your friend err… Char.. Err.. Charlotte.”

“Charlie.” I frowned.

“That’s what I said.” He shrugged. “Now, where was I?Ah. Thanatos rebelled against me and killed her without my permission. She will be returned to the living as soon as possible.”

I gasped. “Wait… So you’re saying that…”

“We do, though, need to adjust her body a little bit before she can rise again. It won’t take that long.” He snapped his fingers.

“Wait, what?” I raised an eyebrow.

It was too late, because I soon jumped awake, breathing heavily.

“Alex! You’re back!” Vic widely smiled, wiping a tear off her eye.

“Charlz?” I walked towards her and felt her breathing.

She wasn’t alive. Nowhere near it.

So what did the dream mean?

Then suddenly, Palmira and Paulo appeared before our eyes, grinning evilly. And next to them was Zarana.

In cuffs.

Dang it.

“Give us the pieces, and we won’t slit her throat.” Palmira chuckled.

I gasped. “You-“

“Aaagghhhhhh!”

We all looked to the source of the voice. Charlie had just jumped awake, sweating and gasping for breath.
