Titans Rising – Something Wicked This Way Comes, Part I
Before I could form my next thought, a hand grabbed me by my throat in a painfully tight grip.
Atё turned slowly, her smile still in place. “Oh, I know. Cataclysmic events, if I’m not mistaken.” Her smile dropped before she went on. “At least that’s what you promised, Kronos.”
Long brawny arms slipped through the bars as he leaned closer, golden eyes met hers as he responded, “Yes, yes I did. Now release us so we can give our family a proper reunion.”
Before I could form my next thought, a hand grabbed me by my throat in a painfully tight grip.
“You are more of an idiot than I thought if you think you can fight, or even hurt, Zeus. You would never win, no matter who is on your side.”
“Well, aren’t you just the cutest little thing,” she says, pushing off the wall and walking over.
“Wanna see? That is your power, right? Seeing the past. Want to see my dirty little secret?”
Clio would never leave Duck behind, not like this. The poor fox appears terrified, frantic.
“You’re late.” bellowed the voice inside. I smirked. “Yeah, you’re pretty serious about that whole thing, aren’t you, Chronos?”
“You should know. I will never love you,” he says coldly. My heart feels like it’s been stabbed multiple times by those words.
Shot the king of the gods in the ass with an arrow, and now the queen of the gods wants my wings mounted on her wall.
“She blasted the windows open and out the window she flew. She’s been trying to smite people all over the city.” “Apparently, she was successful at least one time.”
“No one calls me a bitch.” I pointed my finger at her and whispered, “Boom,” and her body instantly fried with a lightning bolt.
Atë’s face darkened with warning. “Don’t lecture me, freak. What would running in there and comforting her accomplish? Hm?”
“Ohhh, well excuse me for dying! I mean, look at those two assholes in robes over there. What is that…a prison?”
Anger bristled the hairs on my arms as I felt my rage start to swell. Parts of the tile near my feet started to corrode as my temper flared.
“Look, you’re not taking me back to those boring Gods who tried to stop me. Move out of my way before I smite you like those stupid mortals.”
Apparently my team had been losing…badly. So I did what any self-respecting Goddess would do in this situation. I cheated.
