Turning the Tides North

Chapter Three

"Promise me... You'll be safe. Please Kronos... Just promise me..." 

"I promise... I promise." She rested her forehead against his, watching as he slowly passed away, crying onto his still warm cheeks.

"Kronos?" Kronos snapped her eyes open, seeing nothing but a small space around her, making her think it was her time and she was dead or that they were wrong and she panicked, sitting up to quickly and rushing for what looked like the door and stepping outside into the cold darkness. She leant against the metal container that she was in, breathing heavily and remembering. She slowly slid down to the floor as her legs gave way. Tears falling down her cheeks heavily.

She missed her home.

She missed Paarthurnax.

She missed her friends.

Her companions.

Her best and greatest friend.

But that was years ago. Why? How could she still remember the day he died? Why did the gods have to torment her tortured soul so painfully?

I will kill you slowly... painfully...

He reminded her so much of Tsun. Not the way that Tsun was tall and muscly, but the way he talked, twisted words.

How his eyes looked so similar to Tsun's. She wept even heavier, but still quiet, her head on her knees, not caring to the fact her armour had gone.

"Why so upset Kronos?" She heard Loki say to her right, next to her ear. She could feel his cold breath on her cheek.

"Why do you even ask? Let a woman mourn in peace will you." She snapped back, not putting any effort into it at all, but he was taken back at her words, not her bluntness.

"Who do you mourn?"

"Why do you even ask? Why do you even bother being here? Why do you care so much about the Kel that you must have one? Why?" Her words unstoppable, they poured from her mouth, but she couldn't care any less, she was in grief.

"I ask because I'm curious." He replied coldly.

"I doubt that, you're trying to break me, make me crack and shape to your mold."She replied even colder. He was surprised, she had seen past the lies and the tricks.

"Well you're right... but I still want to know who you mourn... Family? A sister? A brother? A parent? A friend." He already knew the answer, they both knew that.

"Yet why do you care? You're the enemy."

"I don't care.... I just want to make you suffer even more than you are now." She knew he had gone. His icy breath leaving her face. She suddenly realised he didn't remind her at all of Tsun. But the very opposite of what Tsun was.

"Kronos? Are you ok?" she heard Darcy say and a weight by her left side. She remained silent. After moments of silence, the weight from her side also appeared around her shoulders, slowly pulling her into a hug.

Aww, how cute, Darcy comforting the most dangerous woman on the planet. I had to put that in I just had too. And I'm sorry for the shortness of chapters its just how I write. I apologise.
