Act I: Beneath The Wings

Chapter 1: Kid Problem

"There is nothing else worth a million than your life."


He was running.

From what, he did not know but if it did caught up with him, he's pretty sure he'll die. The dark columned hallway kept going on and on, never stopping. Angry whispers, screams and shouts were loudly heard at his back. He looked behind to see what it was. He wished he didn't.

Darkness with familiar agonizing faces was the source of the noise. Pale blue transparent hand reaching out for him and he knew they would tear him apart. He bit back a scream and looks away running faster than before.

You did this to us!

Murderer…MURDERER!

Repent, repent for your crimes!

No, he will not say anything to them. A sudden flash of light blinded him making his eyes burn in pain but he never stopped running nor did he close his eyes. The light was so bright, so warm. It was at the end of the hallway. He reached to it hoping, pleading that he'll reach sanctuary.

Just as he was close to touching the light, a hand grabbed him from behind others follow suit. He yelled and kicked shutting his eyes close, afraid. The voices got louder and louder until they were screaming in his ear. The hands grew larger engulfing him within the darkness. The light drifting farther and farther until it was just a small dot. The Titan knew he was doomed, he was going to die.

He screamed.

Eyes shot open only to surprisingly see two huge amethyst eyes staring down at him concerned. Kronos would have scream for real if he hadn't bit down his tongue. The little boy he was so sure he left at the couch was now sitting on his chest looking at him with those wide eyes. How he got here without him noticing, Kronos could only blame the stupid nightmare.

"Yu…okae?"

A tiny small voice filled with worry came out of the boy, head tilting to the side. Kronos opened his mouth to answer but only a mangled sound came out. He shut his mouth with a scowl. He can feel his heart beating faster still remembering the feeling of death. Not a very pleasant experience to recall. The boy surprised him yet again when he patted his forehead as a reassuring action. Kronos sighed and nodded.

" 'm fine." He muttered loud enough to be heard. "Can you…get off me?" He also asked almost hesitant. The boy slid of him then crawled to the foot of his bed looking at him. Kronos slowly sat up rubbing his eyes, muttering curses about hands and light. It was that stupid nightmare again! Every week he would have it and the same thing would happen. He would be trap then engulf by darkness. This isn't the first time he had scream. He was truly getting soft.

"Nihmaye?" The boy curiously asked leaning forward. Kronos looked at him again but this time more thoroughly. His eyes…It was his eyes that bothered him the most. It's the same hue as the amethyst gem and glittered as such. He could only think that he had picked up a half-Blood.

But he survived all this time didn't he? With no help either.

For a demigod, that was just not possible.

Kronos slowly nodded. What is he going to do with the kid now? He could always dump him at a police station or just ditch him somewhere in the park. If he is a demigod then the more reason to get rid of him. The titan wants nothing to do with any immortals or half-blood.

He had enough.

"Nihmaye go bye-bye, dwink milk!" The kid happily suggested nodding at his idea. Kronos snorted but said nothing. Like it would help, really. He looks back at the sitting kid who looks at him interested. "What's your name?" He asked. No use of calling him kid or boy. Living among mortals has made him use their names.

"Jay. Yu?"

"Cade, Cade Solstice."

It was the fake identity he'd gotten an idea from a cartoon show. The titan was…very curious about the show nothing more.

Okay, he'd been obsess with it and watched all it was related to so liking one of the…characters…in the series, he'd name himself after it. Well, half of it anyway. Jay hummed in thought then got off the bed running to his side. Two hands shot out to him like he wants something. "…Hungwy…" Jay said, whimpering a little. Kronos chuckled, he couldn't help it. He had never dealt with younger kids so this was sort of new to him. "Alright, let's get food." He responded as he gets out of the bed.

The titan stretched while he looks around the apartment. Bright red walls surrounded them, a large rectangular window where you can see the city and the sun, white fluffy rug covered the whole floor, black wooden furniture and a huge 16" inch plasma TV on the wall. He walked to the kitchen, a small portion of the room with the essentials, with Jay right beside him. Kronos softly nudged the kid and mentioned him to sit at one of the chairs. "Go, I'll be there with food shortly." He said gesturing to the dinner table.

Jay nodded then walked towards it without a word. A quiet kid if you ask him though Kronos wasn't complaining. With a sigh, he opens the fridge while thinking of what to do with the boy. He was sure Jay was an orphan so ditching him wouldn't be a problem and yet…

The titan couldn't.

He could kill thousands of lives, mutilate their bodies and even laugh while he squishes they heart like a mere fruit. But Kronos, former king and titan, cannot kill, leave alone, a small child who has no connection with him whatsoever than saving his life.

Why? He didn't know the answer and it scared him.

The police idea seems better than ditching. Perhaps…that could work for him. Yes, leave the child to others. It wasn't his problem. No matter how much his mind protested at the idea. He growled annoyed at what he was feeling. Kronos grabbed two bagels and cream cheese then shut the fridge with a slam. Maybe he was just lonely. Living alone can do things to you especially when you've given up everything. He sighed shaking his head.

Has he become a mortal? Did all those years being isolated to all he knew lead him to be human? The titan shook his head again of such thoughts.

Kronos looked over to Jay who was just sitting there swinging his legs back and forth smiling while humming a song of sort. Something tugged his heart at the scene which he immediately squashes down. Despite being a former of his old self, getting way too soft is not going to happen. Not even in a million years. Once done preparing the food, he walked to where Jay was and gave him the cream cheese bagel. "After this, we're going out." To the give you to the police. He stated though smartly left out the last bit. Jay looked at him suspiciously and frankly, he has the right to be. Suddenly waking up in a stranger's apartment, he was very shock when the kid didn't just left or threw a tantrum. Not that the titan minded.

"Why?" Jay asked suddenly emotionless shocking Kronos. The boy sat there looking at him with eyes void of any emotion, face blank like a robot. It unnerved him. "For food. I hadn't shop yet." He quickly lied trying to sound casual. It caught him off guard how Jay could be happy in one minute then BAM! The next he wore a mask. Silence reined for a moment 'till he blinked and nodded happily. With a smile plastered on his face, Jay started to eat the bagel humming the same tune from before. Kronos sat there, frozen.

What just happened? His mind couldn't comprehend what he'd seen. It reminded the titan of those secret agents in shows. Emotionless, deadly and dangerous.

What the hell has he gotten himself into?

Kronos could only imagine.
