The Second Chance

NINETEEN

Seth's POV

"What the hell are you talking about??"

I snarled at Winter, frustrated by how stubborn Elizabeth was

"I'm telling you she doesn't want to be saved!"

Winter whispered then sighed

She had stopped me and Hayley right before we walked into Jarod's room and dragged us into a closet to start blabbering nonsense

"To hell with that, she is getting out of here even if I have to throw her over my shoulder."

I growled and felt my eyes flash black

"Seth just shut up and listen for a change"

Hayley snapped then turned back to Winter

"What does Elizabeth want us to do?"

"She wants all of us to get inside during the ritual and hide out."

Winter explained

"What good will that do?"

Hayley asked

"More importantly how in the hell does she expect us to do that without getting caught??"

I interrupted and Winter narrowed her eyes at me

"Look for once would you all quit arguing and asking questions?! Just do it!"

Winter snapped and disappeared, probably to go find Caleb. That's when Hayley turned to me

"She's right Seth. This is our only chance to save Beth, but it is HER who is supposed to save the world, not us. If she has a plan we stick to it. And pray for the best."

She said and after a second of staring into my eyes she darted out of the closet and I silently followed

Elizabeth's POV

'This is it'

"From generations ago! From a legend lost in time-"

'It is up to me to save everyone'

"Once, the all powerful Kronos walked this earth. But that time is no longer!"

'To save Seth and my family and my friends...'

"This time, a guardian with twice the power! Has been brought to us! And NOW... She may form into her true self!"

'I can do this.. I can do this.. I can do thi-'

"ENOUGH!"

Jarod yelled over the sound of the pounding drums and my eyes shot opened and looked around, as I did the sparkles from my long gown (that annoyingly stretched ten feet behind me) made light dance against the walls.

Besides the demon guards on every door and window, a witch, Jarod and I there was no one else in the large ballroom. I noticed the witch staring at me and I self consciously smoothed my dress.

When the clock stroke twelve in two minutes, the moon would be above the circular skylight and the moonlight would be on me like a spotlight, while the five fires that were set at each point of the star that was drawn on the ground with salt, (that I so gracefully stood in the middle of) were to be lit

I took a deep breath then focused on what Jarod was babbling about

"-and once the moonlight hits our most beautiful weapon.. MY most lovely guardian."

He said and turned to me and I glared in disgust

"Then the kingdom will have its rightful ruler. Me."
