Chapter 2 - Tangled Fates

"what is that?." Crystal asked, she was terrible at math but she was willing to help Athens out this time, Diamond had just buried his wife quietly, but he would surely avenge her death.

He went to his lab but saw shadows, immediately he opened the door, he saw no one.

Athens covered crystals mouth with his hands.

He gestured telling her to be quiet. Diamond walked in, his flashlight, moving around with him. Suddenly Athens felt something yank his legs.

"I'm not a thief!" Athens screamed, Diamond stared at the chemical in his hands and raised a brow. "I think you are!"

Crystal came out of hiding her eyes glowing, she warned Diamond to let him go.

But he knew that was an impossibility. "If you think I am a coward, you must be out of your minds."

Crystal aimed her rays at Diamonds foot.

Athens managed to calm her down, while trying to convince Diamond of the reason why they were here.

"So this means you both are the reason why that alien thing is here?." They both nodded.

Diamond cried even more, "my wife died because of you, I promise you, once I get rid of that monster, you both are next."

Athens fell to the ground he was not having a good day.

In the celestial city of the gods, Athens father mourned his failures, it was time for someone to be crowned, in Athens absence his sister Claire had to be queen.

This was an abomination, but he had no choice, although Claire was his daughter, she was diabolical.

Claire smiled at him, her eyes reflecting her evil intentions, she wore the crown, it was time for her to show the world what she was truly made of.

Athens on earth, felt a tingling behind his ear, it was a sign that something was wrong.

Crystal walked up to him, she knew what that face meant. Then without warning, a scream was heard from behind making Diamond stand up forcefully, it was his beloved wife ,she had awoken, no more human, now a mindless zombie.

He stood there frozen by the memories of there past but Crystal pushed him to the ground.

"What is wrong with you, are you blind?."

Athens led the battle with his gun in his hand and fired eagerly at the beast.

Diamond shivered, as he watched his beloved being destroyed, melting into liquid.

"It worked!, the chemical." Athens rejoiced with Crystal but Diamond was left alone to suffer in silence.

Athens father tried to teach her the rules of the kingdom, for her to be a new queen she has to be dedicated, compassionate, but his words fell to the ground, when he looked up, the throne was empty.

He wondered where she has gone to, who gave her the audacity to work out of him.
