The Tales of Titans: Seven Titan Sins

Chapter One

Cronus' Attacks

Archie groaned as he walked down the hallway towards the foyer of the secret part of the school where the Gods lived. 'Whatever happened to Saturday's are meant for sleeping in and watching cartoons?' He thought sourly as he glanced over at the red-head walking beside him. The descendant of Atalanta was looking rather alert though he noticed Atlanta was biting back quite a few yawns.

"Really Jay, why can't Cronus wait until after Noon?" Atlanta asked stretching her body causing a few bones to crack in the process. Archie couldn't help but agree though seeing Atlanta like this in the morning was probably well worth it. He quickly pulled his thoughts away from her before she noticed him staring at her.

"He's the god of time, he doesn't care what time we get out of bed to kick his ass." Archie added. Jay turned to giving them a scornful look as they entered Hera's aviary. 'Of course, all work and no play!' Archie thought with a slight glare at their leader.

"We have to stop him so no innocent bystanders get hurt, no matter the time or day." Jay stated as he sat down on one of the couches as Hera walked in behind the rest of them. She came around to stand in front of them, waiting patiently for them to stop talking. 'She doesn't really seem to walk, maybe she glides. That's just plain freaky!' Archie noted before sitting down beside Atlanta but as far away from Hera as he could get.

"So what has Cronus unleashed upon us today?" asked Odie, turning to look at Hera when everyone was finally silent. She gazed at them gravely to make sure she had their attention.

"Hermes has heard various reports of several centaurs wreaking havoc in the east side of the city. We want you to investigate but be careful as they may be under Cronus' control." Hera said before nodding and leaving the room Archie glared after her. 'Harpies, sirens, undead dogs, giant tin cans and now centaurs. Great!' Archie thought, rolling his steel indigo eyes.

"You could have just phoned us with that information rather getting our asses down to the school on a Saturday." Archie grumbled under his breath. Atlanta chuckled as she nodded in agreement.

"You're telling me." She said quietly so Jay didn't hear them. Jay was already at the door waiting for the rest to catch up.

"Come on already, you guys." Jay said as the rest walked by he turned around to look at Atlanta and Archie, tapping his foot impatiently. They glanced at each other before walking past Jay trying not to laugh at his irritated look.

*********************************************************************************

As they drove closer to their destination it wasn't hard to tell what was going on. People and cars were fleeing as quickly as possible. Herry hastily turned down a side street to find seven centaurs stomping and shooting arrows everywhere.

Atlanta was the first out as she smirked at the newest challenge. Archie stood beside her, glancing and marvelling at how beautiful she was when faced with a new challenge. While his attention was diverted, Cronus had shown up.

"So nice of you to join us, I'm surprised you weren't here sooner, Jay." Cronus mocked from his seat on the steps on someone's apartment. "Oh well, you're here now. Get them!" The centaurs started firing upon them immediately with the arrows in rapid secession. The group scattered instantaneously going on the defensive.

Atlanta ran to the opposite side of them as she continued to dodge arrows. She fired her wrist crossbow just missing the centaur. She gave a curse under her breath before dodging more arrows.

Neil ducked behind the trucks' door for minimal protection from the endless arrows. When they ceased he peeked his head around the door, seeing the others were distracting them. He clutched his PMR heading towards one of the centaurs. A stream of electricity shot out hitting the hind quarters of the centaur. It reared, kicking out at Neil sending him flying. As he stood, he looked up in time to see an arrow soar towards him piercing his left thigh. He let an ear piercing scream of pain fill the air.

"Neil!" Six voices said in unison turning to glance at him. Odie who was closest dashed towards him; he let out a gasp as an arrow sliced through his clothing grazing his upper right arm. He clutched his wound as he slung Neil's arm around his shoulders, heading back towards the truck.

"Ah chaos; how I love the smell of it in the morning." Cronus commented, continuing to watch events unfold before his very eyes. He smirked, watching Odie help Neil towards the truck.

Archie ducked as another arrow sped past his head. His whip sat comfortably in his hand as he charged at one of them. Atlanta's eyes widened as she realized Archie didn't notice another centaur was taking aim at his weakest point; she knew the arrow could easily break his brace and another shot would be fired right after. Her heart thumped in her chest for a moment as fear seemed to grip her very being.

"Archie, watch out!" She cried her feet suddenly pushed her forward as the arrow was released. She reached Archie before the arrow, pushing him to the ground; she turned in mid fall as the arrow pierced her left shoulder. She let out a gasp as she landed on Archie with his arms wrapped around her waist.

"Oh my god, Atlanta." He said, quickly lifting her up in his arms, her uninjured arm wrapped around his neck. Archie moved swiftly towards the truck as Odie helped Neil into the front seat. He slipped Atlanta into the back of the truck before climbing in himself. "God Atlanta why did you do that?" She smiled up at him before wincing in pain.

"He was aiming to break your brace." Atlanta replied, reaching up to ruffle his hair with her good hand but winced, none-the-less. He sighed before returning her smile.

Jay knocked away a few arrows with his sword as Herry headed towards the truck's driver door. Jay pulled Theresa behind him as he backed up. Theresa moved with him towards the passenger side of the truck.

"Leaving so soon, Jay but the party has only just started." Cronus said cockily. Jay growled at him through clenched teeth as he knocked another arrow away.

"Don't worry, Cronus, we'll be back." Jay said only glancing at the God for a second. It was enough time for one centaur to fire at him. Jay gasped as the arrow hit the lower right of his abdomen causing him to stagger for a moment as Theresa cried out. "I'm fine." He moved behind the door, sliding into the truck before Theresa.

"Step on it, Herry." Archie cried as he tried to tend to Atlanta. The tires squealed as Herry reversed back to the school as fast as possible.

"Oh, I don't think you'll be back anytime soon Jay." Cronus laughed, watching them leave before giving a smirk.

*********************************************************************************

Herry screeched around a corner in the truck. Neil sat beside him groaning about his obvious injury. Archie glared at the blond for being so noisy while he wasn't the only one injured before turning his attention down towards Atlanta. She was losing quite a lot of blood from her wound. 'Thank the gods though it looks like it missed her heart and anything vital. Also thank the gods, they made me take biology.' He thought, slipping off his hoodie wrapping it around her, knowing that from the loss of blood she would start to feel cold if she lost too much. He glanced at Jay and almost cursed out loud. His shirt had a large red soggy patch where the arrow was. He was quiet but awake as Theresa reached, breaking off the end with bright red feathers. Archie quickly did the same to Atlanta's arrow. She glanced at him trying not to concentrate on the pain. She moved closer to his side seeing his warmth.

"Theresa, I'm cold." Jay said his voice almost sounding lost as his teeth started to chatter and his body started to shake. Archie's eyes widened in shock from Jay's statement knowing all too well what that meant. 'This is not good. What are we going to do?' He thought looking down at Atlanta. Her beautiful eyes looked up at him. He knew long ago he had memorized her strange coloured eyes yet even now he was memorizing them again. A thin outer line of liquid gold, golden brown specks like sweet honey appeared in the bright emerald green, they lit up at a challenge yet changed shades due to her moods; a normal person would call them hazel and be done with it but her eyes to him were pure poetry.

Atlanta closed her eyes in pain, breaking whatever spell had come over Archie though he had only thought that for a second. 'You're thinking of poetry of her eyes while the girl you lo-care about is injured. Way to prioritize Arch! God I'm such a moron.' Archie berated himself. A loud gasp was uttered from Atlanta as her injured shoulder slammed into Archie's side as Herry screeched to a halt in the school parking lot.

Archie jumped out as Atlanta slid over on the seat, trying not to jar her injured shoulder. He stared at her for a moment to assess the best way to get her out of the truck without hurting her.

"Wrap that arm around my neck." He ordered softly, pointing to her uninjured arm. She looked at him sceptically before doing so.

"You know it's my arm that is injured not my legs. I can walk just fine." Atlanta stated as he picked her up easily from the seat. Archie smirked before glancing to see Herry heft Neil up in his arms. The blond was nearly unconscious from the pain he was in which meant he was somewhat quiet. Archie walked hurriedly beside Herry as Theresa and Odie rushed Jay towards the school. As they reached the janitor's door, Odie pulled out his pendant quickly placing it in the door and held the door open for the others.

Archie followed Jay and Theresa through the portal and down the hall. Odie rushed forward to help with Jay who was still shaking yet somehow still awake which Archie noted was a good thing. Theresa looked around the empty foyer in panic.

"Chiron! Hera!" Theresa's voice was filled with lots of panic causing doors to fly open from two different directions. Chiron's eyes widened.

"Bring them in here." He ordered as he threw open the other door to his study. Theresa rushed in placing Jay on the only available couch. Hera rushed in waving her arms causing two more couches to appear along with several chairs.

"Hermes." She called and the winged God was beside her immediately. "Get the mentors as well as Apollo and Dionysus." She quickly moved to Jay's side as Hermes went to do as he was told. "Oh also don't forget Zeus."

Archie placed Atlanta on the couch and quickly grabbed a chair sitting down beside her. She looked at him and laughed.

"God Archie, you look so worried. I'll be fine. Chiron can fix anything." Atlanta said as Artemis and Ares rushed over to them.

"Archie, report." Ares ordered. Archie glared at the God of War but sighed, knowing better to anger him if he didn't answer.

"Seven centaurs armed with red feathered arrows. Neil was hit first in the thigh, Odie's arm was skimmed by an arrow when he went to help Neil, Atlanta was hit when she pushed me out of the way of another arrow, and Jay was hit in the retreat." Archie said as Apollo walked over looking at Atlanta's wound while Ares nodded thoughtfully at Archie's response.

"Phoenix tears and rest should be enough to heal her then she will be right as rain." Apollo said coolly as he double checked her wound to make sure he was right.

Chiron looked at Theresa as she refused to leave Jay's side. She was holding his hand gently giving him strength. Chiron looked at her thoughtfully before nodding internally.

"Theresa, will you please carefully pull the arrow out of Jay while I get the supplies to help heal Jay?" Chiron ordered as he rushed to get the supplies. Theresa looked at Jay whose face was twisted in pain. She reached over pressing down on the area near the wound before quickly pulling the arrow out. Jay gave a scream causing the room to instantly go quiet. Theresa quickly pressed her hands on the wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

Herry looked down at the blond in sympathy before he reached over and pulled out the arrow. Neil's girlish scream echoed throughout the secret wing. Aphrodite rushed to her student's side fussing over him.

Archie looked down at Atlanta fearing what he had to do. She looked up at him and laughed. His eyebrow raised in question.

"Come on Arch; pull out the arrow you wimp." She said before gripping his arm in anticipation. Archie nodded, reaching out and pulling the arrow out of her shoulder. Her hand squeezed his arm tightly but she didn't scream though he could see tears in her eyes as she put pressure on her wound.

Immediately the Gods jumped into action. Apollo rushed over to Jay to check his wounds before going to Neil. Hermes went to Odie and bandaged his minor wound. Chiron worked on Jay as the phoenix tears were distributed to heal.

Archie never left Atlanta's side when everything seemed to calm down. A flash of light across his face caused him to look up to see Neil staring into his mirror seemingly checking to see if a hair out of place.

"I get injured and I still don't mess up my perfect hair." He said playing with his hair. Odie made a noise from the corner that caused several heads turn towards him.

"Of course you have perfect hair, perfect skin, and perfect complexion. I wish I had that." He muttered. Archie looked at him in confusion as Neil turned to him smiling.

"I know. Everyone is envious of me and they should be." Neil stated, smiling into the mirror. Theresa and Archie shared a look before Archie's attention was suddenly grabbed by Atlanta's hand on his knee.

"Archie." Atlanta said her voice rather huskily as she drew circles on his thigh. Archie gave a look of shock as he gulped audible.

"Uh…yes, Atlanta." Archie replied softly, trying to stop from going bright red though the blush was quickly coming to his cheeks. She gave a smirk as she rose from the couch with a seductive swing of her body. She moved, sitting down on Archie's lap before wrapping her arms around his neck. "Atlanta, what are you doing?" She leaned over to whisper in his ear.

"I want you and I know you want me." She whispered before licking his ear. Archie grabbed her hands causing them to stop undoing his sweater.

"Sorry but no." Archie managed to stutter out. She gave a sexy pout as she gave him puppy eyes. He gulped again.

"Aw, come on Arch, I know you want to do me so what's holding you back?" Atlanta stated bluntly. Theresa gave a gasp from across the room as Jay sighed in a bored manner. Theresa looked at him in surprise.

"I don't want to do anything at all. I don't care about Cronus anymore. I'm just going to lay here and do nothing." Jay said lazily slumping farther onto the couch. Archie continued to stop the movement of Atlanta's hands by pinning them across her chest as Theresa stared at Jay in pure shock that their leader whose thoughts were only ever on Cronus had just said that.

"I want to know what is going on in here this second." Hera demanded, her eyes scanning the room taking in everyone's position; her eyebrows rose at Atlanta on Archie's lap.

"Neil's so good looking. Atlanta is throwing herself at Archie and Jay's being lazy. I want to be like them, I'm so envious of them." Odie stated, sitting with his back to the room. Hera looked at him in thought as she tried to decipher what he had said.

"Vanity, Envy, Lust and Sloth." Hera pointed to each of the four in turn. "Oh my gods', Cronus has infected you all with the seven deadly sins."
