He jerked a nod. “Castor, Dimitri, with me. Jason, stay with Vanda. Do whatever she says.”
“Oh, I will,” Jason promised as they ran off, sidling up to me. “I’ll do it twice.”
I hated that even with everything going on, my face heated up. “Stop that. All of that. This is serious. You and I need to find someone—”
“Listen up, bitch!” Sirena sounded off. “I don’t know what he told you, but you’re nothing but a collection of warm holes. Xander and I have been together since before we could walk. We belong together. The marriage contract is already written, and your name isn’t and never will be on it.”
Kosma moved out of the corner of my eye, pushing through the crowd.
“We need to find them now.”
I told Jason who to look for and we took off in different directions, searching the faces glued to the sight.
“Pbtfffff.”
Raucous laughter broke out among the Sisypheans. Sirena spun, face reddening deep and fast.
“Pbtfffff.” Kosma went off again. “Once again, nothing but bullshit falls out of your mouth. Stop dragging us all into your relationship problems.”
“Where are you?” I shot in front of one confused dude, apologized, and kept moving. “Come on. Where are you?”
“We couldn’t give a shit that your fiancé is fucking around on you,” Kosma said, signaling my time was up. “Instead of yelling at us, why don’t you try hearing him and accepting that he doesn’t want you? Get the fuck over it al—”
I twisted around as Sirena blurred. A silver streak shot over our heads, grabbed Kosma, and lifted her into the sky. A strange, dragon-like creature held a screaming Kosma in her claws.
Shouts rang out. Kazran sprang into action. I dropped my head when Kosma hit the ground again, unable to see it a second time.
“It’s not too late.” I picked up my feet, moving faster to find him. “There’s still time to save them. Where are you? Where are you!”
“Don’t you dare,” Sirena ordered. “No one helps that worthless, disrespectful trash. You Sisypheans have been getting above yourself, but that ends today.”
I frantically scanned faces, freaking out the few people who took their eyes off Sirena to look my way. None of those looking back at me were Alexis Andino.
“From now on, if one of you disrespects your betters, all of you pay.”
Sirena’s scream echoed through the arena.
Sisypheans surged on her, knocking me aside to get to her. The hellstones were about to be thrown, unleashing a tsunami of snakes that would trigger Theron and force Calix to unleash an army of love slaves.
“It’s too late,” I rasped. “I’m already too late.
“Fates,” I called. “Help me again, please. Let me go back farther.”
I closed my eyes and opened them. Closed and opened. Closed and opened again.
“Agh! Please,” I cried.
Alexander, Ajax, and Calix ran to help Sirena like they did the first time. The Sisypheans spun around—armed and ready to let their hellstones fly.
The arena plunged into darkness.
“Yes!”
Jason did it. He found the son of Erebus. I loved that pussy-hound so much in that moment I could’ve kissed him.
Screams and confusion went up all around, but they weren’t the terrified, soul-ripping screams of people undergoing hellish torment. There was still time to stop this war before it happened.
“Everyone? Everyone,” I bellowed. “Listen to me. If you have hellstones, drop them on the ground now! They’re infecting your mind. Changing you. Making you angry and hateful.”
