A/N: Wow, chapter five already. Things have started to pick up a little bit. Enjoy and please review!

"Narcissus" But I have reached my destination and, kneeling at water's edge, look and see myself framed by everything that goes on - endlessly beginning all around ME. By Robert Cording

The horn of the crushed jeep gave one final agonizing cry as the headlights finally flickered and failed.

"Oh my god!" screeched Theresa, running behind Neil, as he bolted for the obliterated vehicle.

She saw utter shock in the young boys face, as she kneeled before the car, scratching and pushing rocks off of the wreck as fast as he could, not showing any sign of concern for his newly manicured nails or the potential catastrophe of calices.

"No!" cried the boy before her, " Please god no!"

The others rushed over, somewhat shocked at Neil's reaction, helping to move the wreckage. Large chunks of rock lay on the ground behind the jeep thanks to Herry.

" Mel!" Neil dove inside the car; ignoring the rips his skin and shirt were receiving from the broken, sharp metal. He emerged, large cuts down his arms and one across his cheek. Jay grabbed the good looking boy's shoulders.

"Where is she? Is she in there?"

Neil pushed the brown haired boys arms off of his shaking shoulders, looking up to Cronus with a feral gaze.

" I'm going to kill you!" screamed the blonde, tears plunging down his cheeks.

"Oh?" laughed Cronus, holding up his hand" Are you know?...just like I did to her?"

He waved his hand lazily and a red light began to shine. The small body of Mel floated down to his lap.

"Let's not be too hasty Neil", he chuckled, hugging the unconscious girl closer to his body with his free arm.

" Let her go" seethed Neil, in an almost inaudible yet beast like tone.

"Why should I?...this girl seems so important to you. I think ill keep her, she is quite adorable" laughed Cronus again, bringing the girls face closer to his, licking her cheek.

" Let her go" he said again through gritted teeth.

An evil grin flashed across Cronus face. The shaking blonde roared and charged head first to were Cronus was sitting.

" No!" came a voice from behind him.

Jay, and Archie dove for Neil's feet, bringing him down to the ground.

"It's to dangerous Neil!...your hurt!" mumbled Archie from his position around Neil's stomach.

Neil was not apprehended until Herry joined the two boys. The blonde struggled, kicking wildly. Cronus laughed once again, snapping his fingers as one of his time portals appeared.

" Good bye Neil" he waved " oh, and don't worry...me and the little one are going to have so much fun"

His cackles faded into the distance, teasing the struggling boy.

"Fuck!" a loud curse escaped his lips.

" Calm down Neil" said Atlanta, still a little shaken at the intensity in her friend's actions only minutes before.

Herry sighed as Neil's chest heaved and he finally gave up trying to escape. Jay touched his shoulder once again.

"Don't worry Neil...we'll find her, I promise"

The young man collapsed to the ground panting, whipping the dark, red, crusted blood off of his cheek, giving Jay a hideously carnal stare.

" You better"

A/N: That was fun.
