Chapter Fourteen

Alpha Head I

Planet: Pale

Hathor’s head was spinning. He was losing too much blood. He needed medical attention, but he had to get the Book of Spells first.

He reached the corridor that would take him to the leader’s office with little resistance. Given the chaos that was ensuing because of the fallen Great Prison, he wasn’t surprised, but he had expected the Palers to have better security in their main headquarters. Perhaps the Laxy Rebellion had diminished the number of Palers on the planet. Without food, some would be dying off.

Right before he reached the corridor door, he took a deep breath, hoping it would help him better focus on his task. On the floor not too far from him was a gun. He hurried to grab it, only realizing his mistake too late when he lost his balance and stumbled back against a wall.

“Take it easy,” he whispered.

He could do this. He would do this. He had to get the Book of Spells. Now that Zeus was taking Ann to the spaceship, the book was the only thing keeping them on Pale. He released his breath and waited until the hall stopped spinning around him before he stepped away from the wall.

Ignoring the pain in his shoulder, he gripped the gun then proceeded forward. Just one shot. One good shot and Leader Seta would be taken care of. Then Raz would be safe. He turned the knob on the leader’s office door and opened it a crack.

“What do you mean Hathor and Ann have escaped?” Seta demanded into the phone. “I don’t care how powerful Zeus’ thunderbolt is! You must find the new queen and kill her. If you want to let Hathor run amok, then fine. We don’t need him.” She slammed the phone down and shook her head. “Incompetent guards.”

She stepped around the desk and looked out the window. Since her back was turned to him, Hathor slipped into the room.

“I know! I’ll use that Book of Spells to summon her,” Seta said as she headed for the book on her desk.

Hathor raised the gun and fired at her. Unfortunately, her reflexes were too fast. She jumped onto the desk. He shot again, but she leapt in his direction and kicked the gun out of his hand. Then she shoved him across the room, and he slid to the opposite wall. He opened his eyes, but the room was tilting around him.

“I’ll take care of you. Then I’ll get your queen,” Seta sneered.

“Not so fast, Leader.”

Seta turned around, and Athena stood behind her, an owl on her shoulder.

Seta rolled her eyes. “Can’t you see I’m working?”

“I’m here for Hathor and the Book of Spells,” Athena told her. “Either you give that book to me, or I’m going to force it from you.”

She ran to her desk and clutched the book to her chest. “Force.”

“As you wish.”

Athena gestured to the owl, and the bird doubled its original size. The owl flew toward Seta. Seta dodged the owl, but Athena jumped in and struck Seta across the face.
