Cronus’ jaw clenched; he looked like he was wrestling a bear. “Okay … I probably should have mentioned that you now have some powers … from Pandora’s necklace.”
My eyes widened further as I looked at the stone at my throat.
“Just reach down and place your hands on mine. Everything will be fine. I just need an extra push.”
Ummm. “What? I’m not touching that blue stuff or helping raise the dead!”
I would not be the stupid blonde in the horror movie who got offed for following the creepy noise into the dark room.
Cronus snapped his head in my direction, eyes flaring orange. “Fine. Humanity can die off for all I care and we will make sure to take your beloved whales and dolphins too!”
Dammit!#DoItForTheDolphins
“Just touch you?”
“Hurry!” he shouted as the blue magic pulsed and sweat dripped down his forehead.
Here goes nothing. Getting into a crouch, I approached the blue lightshow with trepidation and reached out.
It’ll be okay. Cronus wouldn’t ever let me do something that would hurt me.
The moment I touched his hand, the blue light exploded like a bomb, pain ripped up my spine, and everything went black.
