The Repeated History of the Heroes

Mr. Time Boss Part 2

          Andy could barley let himself watch as Calvin finished his chant the potion turned to liquid gold.  He wasn't listening to the goings on around him anymore, he closed his eyes and prayed.  Mom? Aphrodite? If you can hear this and I die make sure Maddie knows I was careful and that I love her.  And tell dad to dump that women or my ghost will haunt them both, thanks.  He did not know why but he felt a slight lightness as the thoughts left his mind.  If he died for this, he would die for their lives, for their safety, if died they would know he died trying.

         "I think I'm gonna throw up" Issac mumbled next to him

         "Dude" Andy turned to face him, "If you throw up I will too"

          "If either of you throw up while I'm stuck next to you I'll kill you both" Zoe said from Issac's other side.

           "That's what the death aura was from" Nathan marveled

           "Death aura?" Cassidy asked in slight panic

           Nathan shifted slightly, "Someone will die bum bum bum"

          "Hey" Paris leaned out of where she was tied to look at Nathan, "Be more positive"

          "That's my blood type" Dani remarked, "B positive"

         "Would you all just shut up!" yelled a girl Andy guessed was Amy, "You're all about to die!  At least pretend to be sad!"

        "You know what Amy"  Issac said, "Fuck off we all thought you were dead, you had a fucking funeral for gods sake!"

          Zoe let out a breath of amusement, "Also do you really think any of us are going to die?"

        "Are you trying to get us killed?" Cassidy whisper yelled

       Zoe opened her mouth to respond but Issac cut in with a horrible impression of her, "No, because if I was we would have already been killed" 

       She shook her head and smiled "I just don't sound like that" 

       "But that's what you were going to say wasn't it?"

        "Shut up" she said elbowing him.  Andy smiled at his friends, only they would, he thought, only the strongest people I know would joke when at their most vulnerable.  He liked that he didn't feel like he was lying to himself calling them his friends.  Looking at them he knew that if he needed help he would get it, he knew he was supported, he knew they were real.  As people maybe they were a little off but as friends they were the best.  He knew that after this he would want to go places as a group and get to know them without fearing for his life.  It was refreshing to be surrounded by a good group of people who cared for him and each other.

       Amy whirled at them, "Stop it!" her chest heaved in a sob, "Stop it, stop it stop it!"

      Dani tilted her head, "Amy are you crying?"

     "Yes Dani" she whipped her face and sniffled, "I'm fucking crying am I not aloud to do that?"

      "It's nothing I just haven't seen you cry since their funeral" at her words tension cut through the air.  He felt something new watching Amy's body sink to the ground, heartbreak.  He couldn't quite fell it but he was aware of the pain.  He felt her heart rip out of her chest, he felt the blood river flowing through it, he could see the vulture prey on her.  Kronos was the vulture that found her, he assumed it found Dani too, picking on the deepest cuts of sadness.  He could paint a picture of what had happened, a person named Ray with a younger sister named Dani.  Amy, a month younger than Ray fell in love with their smile the minute she lay eyes on them.  Three years later they were in real love, Amy had taken a liking to more than their smile but to feeling she got every time Ray's mouth curved up.  They loved her because of the way she smiled with them, they loved her for the pureness of it.  It was their own little tragedy with an ending worst than Romeo and Juliet.  Why was it worst?  Because one of them was still alive.
