Chapter 19
"Ok, you open your eyes!" Theo's voice called over.
I opened my eyes and almost passed out. There was a giant Cyclopes holding Theo, with its big ugly hand over his mouth. He struggled but the Cyclopes was too strong. I reached for my dagger but it wasn't there. Of course I hadn't brought it with me, it was up in my cabin and there wasn't anytime to go and get it now, not while Theo was about to be suffocated by a Cyclopes. I bit back a scream, staring up at the monster, defenceless. Suddenly the Cyclopes seemed to get bored of Theo, dropped him, and advanced on me instead. I backed against a tree. Theo collapsed on the ground, not moving. I said goodbye to everyone, Ruby, Tamsin, Carmen, Anya, my mum, my dad. Nice one, Apollo. Better send somebody else to finish that quest. I closed my eyes, knowing that this was the end. There was no escape now.
Epilogue
Theo and Kalina were found the next day by a son of Hermes. They were holding hands, eyes closed, as if they were sleeping. A memorial service was held later that day, and for that one day, the cabins were together in harmony. As they were before. Before this all started. Before Kalina met Theo, before Lucas died, before Kalina punched the Chimera, before she cycled up that hill to school. Before all of that happened, there was peace. Some people say that everything happens for a reason. Some people say that you can change your future. But Kalina's fate was set it stone, it was her destiny. In an unwritten prophecy, yet to be told.
