Demigods save the Queen

Chapter 3

ALEX SCHWARTZ

"Hey Alex" my twin sister nudged my shoulder with hers "They look promising." 

She nodded in the direction of a group of three teens our age and a man who looked to be about 25 who were gawking at everything they saw. They had to be tourists. The older guy had messy black hair, and sea green eyes. One of the guys our age had blond hair, hazel eyes and tan skin. They other boy had tousled brown hair and sky blue eyes, and tan skin. The girl was significantly shorter than her companions, she had long, straight, chocolate brown hair and her eyes were the same color as her hair, she also had a tan. 

Seriously people! Is anybody besides me and my sister pale, or even without a tan? 

Apparently not! 

We are identical twins so of course we both have pale skin, blue-gray eyes, freckles, dirty blond hair, and a tall athletic build. The only difference was that Becky's hair is wavy and long while mine is short and messy. Not that my sisters hair isn't messy, it's so thick it covers her face as if it were a lion's mane. 

"What's the plan Beck?" I asked as the older guy walked away from the group to get some corn dogs from a food truck. 

She grinned evilly, "Operation distract and attack bro." 

She then left my side and disappeared into the crowd and out of my sight. I casually weaved through the crowd until I was strolling along behind the group Becky had called promising, and boy was she right! Both of the guys had their wallets sitting in their back pockets waiting to be stolen!  

I watched as Beck gave me the signal that she was ready and I returned the signal back to her. Let it begin! 

She walked towards the group and I kept strolling along behind them but out of their sight. 

All of the sudden, out of the middle of nowhere, Becky gave a spectacular fall after tripping over the uneven pavement. Her hair was flying everywhere, her face had a look of shock on it, and she landed directly in the arms of Mr.Blondie.  

He wrapped his arms around her to keep her from falling farther. Her cheeks turned tomato red and she looked away, but he grabbed her chin and turned her face so she was ready looking at him. "You okay?" He asked gently 

"Yeah" she was stumbling over her words as she talked "I-I-I was just in a rush to go meet someone. Ummm... could you let go of me please?" 

From behind me someone shouted "Hey! What do you think your doing?!?" A strong hand grabbed my shoulder and turned me around so I was facing the black haired guy with corn dogs in his free hand. 

Uh oh, I'd been caught red-handed with Mr.Blondie's wallet in one hand and my other hand in the other guys pocket.

Sis, get out of there!

"Here, I'll return the wallets if you don't call the cops." I thrust the wallets into his hands, grabbed my sister's hand, and ran. 

Well, that's what I tried to do, but it didn't exactly happen because Mr.Blondie refused to let go of her other hand. 

"Let go!" She shouted 

The brown haired girl slapped Mr.Blondie's arm "Vann, what's your problem, just let her go! Do you remember your promise?" 

"No! Don't let go," the older guy interrupted, he turned to face me "There's no money in these wallets anymore! Totally not fair man!" 

Beck then bit Vann's hand, he yelped and let go of her. We then took off running "Fairs are for tourists, why don't you consider yourselves receiving a lesson from the King and Queen of the streets instead!" She called as we raced down a dark ally way.

After a couple seconds I could hear footsteps echoing through the dark behind us.

"That's her! I know it is!" one of them shouted

"Well Josh, I think you know what you have to do." The girl called

"Gaahh!!" I felt my sisters hand slip out of mine as she was caught by a flying tackle, literally! The brown haired guy flew out of nowhere and took her down.

I picked up a stray board of wood and started hammering him in the back as hard as I could

"LET... GO... OF... MY... SISTER!!!!" I screamed in between hits.

He wasn't budging!!

I really didn't want to use my powers on anybody, but desperate time call for desperate measures, and this guys pals were catching up fast.

I stopped whacking him, stood back, and concentrated.

Deep breath in

Deep breath out

Deep breath in

Deep breath out

I walked forward and rested my hand on his back as he tried to control my sister who had become a raging ball of teeth and claws scratching and biting any bare skin she could see.

The guy slowly released his grip on my sister and slumped to the ground as she escaped his clutches.

I could hear him snoring softly.

"You saw him fly too, right?" Beck asked as she nudged him with her foot.

"Yup"

"We better get going, there could be more flying monkeys coming." She said flashing a smile

So once again we were running through the streets being chased, but only by Mr.Blondie and corn dog guy this time. The girl was probably checking on her snoozing friend who won't wake until about an hour later. 

I could control my powers more accurately now that I had been practicing.

Me and my sister have no idea where our powers came from, but all we know is that we can't let anybody else know about them.

So Becky and Alex can put people to sleep just by touching them... hmmmm... I wonder who their godly parent is?

I have decided that the third person who votes on each chapter will get the next chapter dedicated to them! If I don't even get three votes then I guess nobody will get a chapter dedicated to them. But hopefully I'm not that bad of a writer!

(If you vote, please comment that you voted so I know who to dedicate the next chapter to)

Vote and comment my little potatoes!
