LiviaI sat in the front-row middle seat, leaning against Apollo's shoulder. Parker was focused on driving while Cassian was in the passenger seat. Those two always seemed to be joined at the hip. The others were behind me, clowning at each other as usual.Beep Beep"What's that kitten?" Apollo questioned, looking down at me."A Satellite Radar Beacon, SRB for short. It notifies Underground Citizens of nearby entry points."Adrian chuckled, taking a sip of his 1947 Cheval Blanc. "Once we enter the Underground, think of yourselves as nothing because your life depends on it. Everything you are here means nothing to the people of the Underground. Partially nothing. Aside from Livia and I, you have no stature.""You forget something, Adrian. We must make it through Dead Zone before reaching Race Capitol.""Ahh, I forgot about that. It's been so long.""What's Dead Zone?" Jack asked curiously."Dead Zone is the gateway surrounding the Underground like a forcefield. It's inaccessible and he
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 28: The Meetup
NarrationSandra walked into the storage room to see Alicia leaning her head against one of the supply racks. "Alicia, are you okay? You were just fine not even a minute ago." "No, Sandra, I'm not fine." Alicia looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Why would she do this to me?" Sandra raced to Alicia's side, worried. "Why are you crying? And who are you talking about?""Zoe."Now Sandra was confused. "Huh, what about Zoe?"Alicia slowly lifted her finger, pointing at the racks of tire spray. "Why would she order so many damn brands of tire spray. I didn't even know so many options existed," she whined.Sandra rolled her eyes being done. "Oh my god, you dunce."Alicia fell to the ground in a tantrum. "Call me whatever you want, but my baby deserves the best, and I will sit here for however long it takes."Sandra scanned the shelves, unbothered by Alicia's temperament. "Do whatever you want, but when Livia gets here, you won't have that luxury anymore." "That's not very helpful, San
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 29: Grand Entrance
ApolloIt was cute seeing how flustered Livia got whenever her friends teased her. But then, there was a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see a nervous Adrian. "What's on your mind, kid?" "Do you think Livia would mind if I were to date one of her friends?"His question didn't faze me. When he looks at Alicia, the spark in his eyes shows his feelings for her. "Parker is sleeping with one of her best friends, so I doubt she would be against you wanting to date Alicia. Just know I don't mind you dating as long as you know the risks you are putting her in by bringing her into our world," I said honestly.Jack chuckled behind us. "Well, if you think about it, they are technically already a part of our world. They are equally as dangerous, respected, and calculative as we are. But even with that being said, our biggest concern is how a certain someone will react when he finds out the Mafia King is officially off the market."I nodded my head in understanding. "I guess that's something we m
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 30: Racers, are you ready?
LiviaAlicia felt uneasy. "Do you think leaving them alone was a good idea?""I don't know, but I wasn't expecting them to act so aggressively. Especially Percy."Nina hopped on the hood of my car. "I don't see why not.""Get off, my baby." I shooed.She rolled her eyes, leaping off my car. "Do you remember how Malakai and the others scared off my first boyfriend? And we all know you have a special place in Percy's heart. Sometimes I wonder if he has feelings for you.""First off, Triston was a player.""And what does that make me?"Zoe sucked her teeth. "Don't you dare compare yourself to that scum, Nina. Being sexually in tune and blatantly coercing girls into sex are two different things. You don't play with people's feelings. You don't put on a show to get what you want. Instead, you tell whoever your interest in exactly what you want, and you give them a chance to choose to comply or find someone else to give them what they are looking for. That's the difference between an assert
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 31: Vulnerability
Narration Malakai led them to the top floor. The lights were dimmed with a warm hue. The gold and white interior mirrored walls, and the massive crystal chandeliers suspended from the center gave off a fresh, sophisticated vibe. "This is our private lounge. Feel free to get comfortable here." "Don't mind if we do." Poet quickly sat on one of the sofas, gently bouncing, "This is so comfy, and I love the vibe." Luca felt proud of himself. "I am not the one to toot my own horn, but, toot toot, I designed it myself." Heath frowned. "Luca, please. You did nothing but give useless input about wanting it as if you were sitting on a fluffy cloud high in the luxurious sky." "It was fitting at the time," Luca reasoned. "It was stupid. Try sitting on an actual cloud, then come back to me." Heath snickered. "That's if you're alive." "You are so mean." Luca moped. "It's my day job, bro." Heath loved teasing Luca, but he was someone he doted on the most. "Anyway, how about we get some dr
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 32: Winter's Coming
WinterWinter paced back and forth, trying to control the anger building from within. Anger is a tricky emotion that must be repressed thoughtfully. A fire seed of anger can still inflame its surroundings. It starts small and undetected, but if not extinguished at the source, it grows into a flame that destroys everything in its path. I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened. "What the hell were you thinking, Faye? Your stupidity and carelessness could have gotten us killed."Faye rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about?" "You were picking fights on territory that doesn't belong to you and flaunting your money as if it buys respect." my anger was simmering at Faye's carelessness."Money rules the world," she said ignorantly, "and I wasn't picking a fight." "Oh really?"∞∞∞Flashback Heading to the racer's booth to check in, there was gossip about someone called Goddess of Hell's Peak."Did you see the final roaster?" "No, why?" "The Goddess herself is racing ton
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 33: Ready! Set! Go!
LiviaWe got into our respective positions based on our dashcam numbers. I was in the center with dashcam 05. To my right were Alicia 04, Zoe 09, Nina 011, and Sandra 010 behind me. "You ready, babes?" Alicia yelled over the roaring engines."Hell yeah, I am," I yelled back. The awaited thrill of my car drifting around every twist and turn coursed through my blood. From my peripheral, I can see other racers getting into position. A smirk etched onto my lips as Faye pulled up to my left. "I can't wait to see your face after I cross the finish line first." I taunted."Oh, don't get your hopes too high. Otherwise, your ego will come crashing down to earth," she said smugly. My ego? I simply smiled at her and then focused on what was before me. One second is all it takes. A single second, a moment of hesitation could determine if you are ahead of the pack or the tail."RACERS ARE YOU READY?!" the flag girl shouted.I revved my engine four times, one for each member, and the girls did t
Crimson Chronicles: Apollo & His Queen Chapter 34: Shut It Down
Narration"RACERS, ARE YOU READY!"Percy jumped excitedly, "Finally, the race is about to begin!"They all sat in front of the flat screen to watch a much-anticipated race. Adrian sat on the edge of his seat with expectation. "This going to be so good."Apollo felt differently. The cameras panned from the racers to Hell's Peak. The street wrapped around the mountain leading to the top only to be sling-shotted down a winey slope on the other side. "This is the preliminary race?" Apollo asked with terror and worry in his voice."SET!"Malakai saw how worried the members of the Crimson Clan were for his sisters. "Don't worry. Livia, Alicia, Nina, Sandra, and Zoe have raced this mountain so many times it's second nature to them now. Trust me." he smiled reassuringly."GO!" Apollo watched with amazement at Livia's skill. She was the first over the starting line leading the pack. The way she drifted around the first sharp curve was beautiful. "What the hell?" Apollo yelled, witnessing on
