Chapter 23 Finally
Chrysaor POV
I couldn't hear what the two of them were saying but I could tell that the plan was working way to well. The wind howled as it shook the house every little nook and cranny were squeaking as I watched the scene in front of me.
The wind whipped the rain forcing it to come in at a slant. But I could clearly see Deuce, he is standing tall, confronting his fear of our uncle. Though I could tell by the way that his legs twitched that it took everything that he had not to book it.
Though I couldn't blame him, thunder boomed against the roof of the house sounding like a thousand atom bombs were going off in the background. Man this god has some serious rage, I watched the sky light up shades of blue and purple as Zeus bolt shined viciously in his grasp. His knuckle started to turn white as he gripped his bolt to the point that the skin around his knuckles threatened to rip.
I shook my head slowly as I noticed his arm darting out, no mom and dad weren't here yet don't tell me that he is going to attack him. I snarled lowly under my breath as slammed the back door open. The glass shattered into a thousand pieces as I forgot to mind my strength. Adrenalin ran through my veins as my heart pounded louder then any thunder could.
There is no way that he was going to die not when he was right about this whole thing. I could only imagine how mom and dad would feel, if they came home to find him dead, hell I don't need to imagine it. Ever since I got here that was all that I thought about what do I do if something went wrong and I couldn't protect him.
That one haunting thought forced me to spring into action as I ran through the rain-soaked grass. My bare feet gliding against the ground as I formed a water shield around Deuce just in time. Zeus lighting whipped cracked against the sky as the blue lighting lit up the forest surrounding the house. Rage and madness shined bright in Zeus's eyes as his mad grin formed into a frown. "My my Chrysaor I didn't know that you came to America."
His cordial and polite voice rubbed me wrong, even more so than any of his usual insults that he has thrown my way over the last couple of years. I bridging the gap between Deuce and me in three long strides. The water bent around me like I had an invisible umbrella as I sneered at Zeus.
His golden blond hair damped against his face as his blue eyes searched my face for something. I'm sure that he wanted me to step aside and let him kill Deuce and for what being born. For having the backbone to stand up to this monster, god or not he was the only monster here. Not me and certainly not my little brother who has done nothing but stand up for himself.
Rage burned in me as I spoke in a calm yet rage-filled voice, "Do you really think that I would let you kill him while our parents were away. I might be a manster but I'm not the kind of monster that would let his baby brother be killed by the likes of greek filth like you. Tell me is this our grandmother Rhea raised you. Shit, you are the only one that didn't get eaten by grandfather and you are by far the most fucked up god." I felt my voice twisted with disgust as I felt the pouring down rain stop at my direction as they started to form into a clear spear-like object.
With each passing moment, I could feel the old Deuce coming back from the grave, he bounces on the balls of his feet as he started to regain a cool composure. If we were going to die then we wouldn't do it cowering on our knees for our lives. I looked at Deuce as he raised his hand slamming his fist closed forcing the water spears to form into ice cycle. I let out a breath notice that I could see it as the clear white ice spear waited for a command.
Zeus got this amused look on his face as a manic grin started to split his face in two as both joy and rage filled his eyes. I didn't know that you could be mad and happy at the same time but I guess when you are insane like Zeus. Then you can do all kinds of thing that were thought to be impossible for a sane person. Lightning arced through the sky I watched the pure energy lightning whip through the ice. The smell of ozone field my nose making me nauseous as the heat from the whip singed my hair on my arms.
His eyes became cold and detached as this sadistic smile formed on his face along with something else. Maybe triumph was the right word to describe the crazy look, but before I could ask him why he was doing. Before I could think of a solid plan I felt the energy in the air change.
I bet if Zeus wasn't so insane then he would have felt it too. Mom and dad they must have just gotten back. Has it really been ten minutes who would have thought? I looked up to see Zeus but he was gone, the manic god had disappeared from my line of sight.
But the change in the air was undeniable he was still here but he was hunting from the shadows I guess he no longer wanted to kill us like a real god. He wanted to hide in the shadows and kill us form a distance. How positive human of him.
"Your pathetic father should have been the one to lead the gods of Olympus, not you." I snarled angrily under my breath as thunder boomed overhead. Dad hurries the hell up.
I tried my best to search for Zeus but even as I sense his murderous intent I couldn't find him. It was like his aura was engulfing us as he went in for the kill.
Then I felt it the hair on the back of my neck stood up but there was no way that I would be able to move in time. I just have to brace for impact. I let the water from a thin layer of protection but the blow never came.
Sure I felt his hot breath on the back of my neck but the blinding burning pain that came with being executed never came. "This is your plan big brother but it looks like I am the one showing you up."
I shifted quickly on my heels to see a sly amused grin on Deuce face as he stared at Zeus. As I turned I could see him frozen in tracks. His hand hung there limply in the air he stood there in a striking stance but he didn't move.
I doubt that he would be able to move for a while. But why?"What the hell did you do to him, kid." I look up at Deuce a sly grin on his face as this coy look appeared in his eyes as this air of superiority surrounded him.
"Did dad not teach you how to control the water in the blood. It's a little more difficult with gods since they don't really have a lot of water in their blood. But thanks to all of this rain it was pretty easy to restrict his movements." He grinned a little to himself as a full-blown smile formed on his face.
His gaze was drawn to something across the field and as the rain stopped I follow his line of vision only to have my heart drop in my stomach. I saw my dad walking towards us. Rage and pain filled his eyes he stormed over to us. Each step that he took made me want to crawl out of my skin I don't think that I have ever seen him so angry. His entire body quake with rage as this dangerous energy took over his body. His usually easy going eyes harden with rage and rumors internet. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE BROTHER!" His voice bellowed as the trees shook from his rage this wasn't going to be good.
