I do not own COTT.

Thank you to the people who reviewed my first chapter.

And for my first chapter I did mean Prologue, sorry My bad.

Chapter 1

Theresa shivered and shoved her hands in her pocket in an attempt to keep warm, it was a cold winter morning, and it had snowed last so taking her car was out of the question, and since today was Saturday the other heroes were all still sleeping at the dorm, and Theresa didn't want to wake up Herry and bother him for a ride, Unfortunately Persephone wanted Theresa to come in for a lesson today to practice her physic ability, and although she really didn't want to Jay had pretty much forced her to. All that Jay cared about was defeating Cronus, and what made it worse was that Cronus hadn't done anything for the past few weeks which was putting Jay even more on edge, which was driving the rest of the team crazy. Last night Theresa had told Jay to calm down, after Atlanta and Archie had gotten into a fight about which movie to watch, which wasn't anything new they really couldn't agree on anything, sometimes Theresa wondered how they hadn't killed each other, anyways Jay had been sitting on the couch with his head in his hands clearly thinking quite hard on what Cronus could be up to, and how they could defeat him, and after about five minutes of listening to Archie and Atlanta bicker Jay had had enough and jumped off the couch, almost knocking the coffee table over in the process, and told them to shut up. Archie and Atlanta both stared at Jay dumbfounded for a few seconds afterwards, before storming out of the dorm on their skateboards. Once they had left Theresa told Jay to calm down which resulted in him yelling at her, and since Theresa was already under too much stress, she stormed up to her room, and had cried herself to sleep. Theresa was sick of being treated like crap by Jay, she cared so much about him and all he cared about was Cronus, and she was sick of it, one of these days she hoped that he would see there was more to life then stopping a physco god.

When Theresa made it to the school she rushed inside happy to get out of the cold, she walked to Persephone's solarium and knocked on the door waiting for a response.

"Come in." Persephone called after a moment.

Theresa walked in smiling at her.

"Morning Persephone."

"Good morning Theresa." Persephone said putting down the watering can she had been using to water the many flowers in her solarium, sometimes Theresa wondered how she could stand to have so many flowers having to water them all the time must get annoying, but Persephone was almost always happy so the flowers seemed to fit her personality quite nicely.

"Are you ready to get started?" Persephone asked sitting on a cushion on the floor.

Theresa nodded walking over and sitting across from her.

"Now Theresa I want you to close your eyes, clear your mind, and try and read my mind."

"Ok." Theresa said closing her eyes and trying to clear her mind but she was tired and whenever she closed her eyes she felt as if she could fall asleep. After trying to clear her mind five times Theresa opened her eyes and looked at Persephone sighing.

"I'm sorry Persephone I'm just so tired and I have a lot on my mind."

Persephone smiled touching Theresa's hand, "why don't you tell me what's wrong? That may help." She said giving Theresa a small smile, Theresa sighed again looking down at her hands as she began talking.

"Jay has just been really mean lately, working all of us as hard as he possibly can, and not giving us a break. As I'm sure you know Cronus hasn't done anything lately, and it's putting Jay on even more edge, and I'm exhausted, and I'm almost at a breaking point." Theresa said fighting back tears.

"I feel as if Jay seems to think that my powers are going to be the answer to defeating Cronus." Theresa whispered as Persephone squeezed her hand.

"I know it's been hard, for everyone and I wish I could tell you to go home and take a break from everything but I agree with Jay on this one."

"What?" Theresa asked surprised.

"Not the working you guys so hard." Persephone said defending herself, "but Theresa if you can learn how to read minds and learn how to control your physic ability you can find Cronus much easier and thus defeating Cronus will be faster."

Theresa sighed and looked back down at her hands, unable to meet Persephone's gaze, of course defeating a physco god would be all up to her.

"Theresa, don't forget that you have six others behind you, they're not going to let you face off against Cronus all on your own." Persephone said after a moment.

"I know, but if Jay finds out then he's just going to push me even harder and I'm already tired enough as it is."

"Then we'll keep it between us until the time's right."

Theresa looked at Persephone unsure if she was kidding, however the smile on her face told her that she wasn't.

"Thanks Persephone." Theresa said smiling.

"Anytime, but Theresa I do want you to try and read my mind, right now."

"OK I'll try." Theresa said closing her eyes, and clearing her mind, praying that she would be able to do it this time. After a few minutes of nothing Theresa heard Persephone's voice, at first she thought that she was just talking out loud, but then Theresa realized that what Persephone was saying was an echo, and the solarium never had an echo, it was too crowded.

"Come on Theresa you can do it, I believe in you, and someday everything will change and your life will be somewhat back to normal, just believe in yourself."

Theresa opened her eyes and was surprised to see Persephone staring at her.

"You read my mind didn't you?" Persephone asked smiling.

"How'd you know?" Theresa asked surprised.

"The look on your face, you look a little surprised."

"I didn't think I could do it." Theresa admitted.

"I knew you could." Persephone said smiling. "Now what do you say to some breakfast, and then we can do a little bit more practicing afterwards?" Persephone asked waving her hand to make a huge breakfast appear, which included eggs, bacon, pancakes, toast, home fries and countless other things, as soon as Theresa saw the food her stomach growled.

"I'd say perfect." Theresa said smiling, Persephone laughed and handed her a plate, which Theresa began digging into right away.

When Bill opened his eyes everything was blurry, he closes his eyes a couple of times before everything came into focus, he was in a basement, by the looks of it, it was quite dark, the only light coming through was a single light bulb hanging just above his head, the basement was old, and quite dirty there was dirt everywhere, and dead leaves, Bill could hear water dripping, but he couldn't pinpoint from where. As Bill looked around he began trying to remember what happened to him, he remembered working on his proposal, and then a bunch of noise in the hallway just outside his study, and then seeing horrible red eyes, after that he remembered nothing… was he dead? As Bill thought about that possibility he felt his heart rate accelerate which meant that he couldn't be dead…then what had happened and where was he? And why did his head hurt so badly? As he moved his hand and touched his head he gasped when he found blood, his head was bleeding, did he hit it? Bill thought but he couldn't remember hitting his head… he must have been kidnapped, that was the only thing that made sense. After all he was rich and it wasn't un common for rich people to get kidnapped and demand a large sum of money from their families in order to let them go. But what would happen if the person who kidnapped him killed everyone in the house? After all there had been a lot of commotion, what would he do then? He had no way of contacting Theresa, and even if she did find out he had been kidnapped, she didn't know the new code for the safe, he had changed it once a month for the past twenty years just in case, and he had always told Theresa the new one but she hadn't been home for quite some time now, and he didn't see a need to tell her since she wasn't at home, what was he supposed to do now? Bill laid his head against the wall and sighed as he began thinking about what to do next.

Cronus watched Bill in his pool, he smiled as he watched him come to, he looked frightened and disoriented, clearly he didn't remember what had happened to him earlier this morning, but soon trying to remember what happened to him would be the least of his worries. Cronus turned to face Agnon after a second.

"I'll be calling Theresa to inform her of this new game in an hour's time, after the phone call take her father through the portal that I'll make for you, and then tie him up on a tree, I'll set up the rest."

Agnon nodded and walked away, Cronus took another look at Bill and smiled, he would die in the next few days, and so would Theresa, he would make sure of that, and once she was dead he would take over the world, at the thought of this Cronus began laughing, he waved his hand over his pool and caused the image of Bill to disappear, once that was done he walked out of his room, still laughing.

End of Chapter 1.

The next Chapter is when Theresa will find out about her father, I'm sorry if this chapter was boring, the next one will be more exciting I promise. Please review.
