Chronos

“My name is Chronos, you may have heard of me before.”

“The father of the Greek gods?”

“Close, his uncle. Although people have merged us. I am the primordial god of time.” He then waved a Smokey hand and the naked figures of Katie, Nadia, and Ashley showed up standing at attention before the ethereal creature, who seemed to solidify into a Greek looking man.

Mark trembled before this clearly powerful being. He looked to Katie for support, but she was frozen and simply staring ahead, unaware of where she was.

“Why…why have you summoned me here?”

Chronos did not answer, and simply approached the frozen Katie, grabbing her chin in his hand, turning her head side-to-side. “This one here is a fine specimen”, he then pried open Katie’s mouth so as to inspect her teeth. “I’m so glad I told you to freeze her.”

“You…you’re…you’re the voice in my head?”

“Oh yes, I am actually the source of your new powers.” At this point Chronos was now feeling up Katie’s bum, which caused her body to wobble in place. “Certainly I wouldn’t be affected by them.”

“You told me to freeze my little sister”, Mark yelled outraged. He had been growing angrier by the minute as Chronos poked and prodded Katie, she was his dam-it.

“If I recall, you permanently froze your big sister here.” Chronos then began to inspect Ashley, doing the Same to her as he had done with Katie.

“I..I..uhmmm.”

Chronos raised a hand. “I do not judge, but that does bring me as to why I chose you.”

“It does?”

“Yes, it does.” The eldritch being then begins to grope Ashley, weighing her breasts in his hands. “You see, I am the last of my kind, and in order to survive, I must feed off of human potential. And you see, you are center too many with loads of potential.

“I am?”

“You are. Ashley here, she had some”, he let go of his older sister’s breasts and pointed to Katie. “Your friend Katie, she had a lot, and Regina”, he said as he walked over to Nadia, “her potential would have sustained for for years.” He began to poke and prove Nadia’s frozen form, “this one however, had very little and was not all that nutritious for me.” Nadia did not react to the insult, simply staring forward with a blank look on her face.

“That is why you gave me time powers? To feed off of my friends and family?”

“I believe you froze Ashley and Nadia on your own precognitive. As for Katie, consider it the tutorial. Did you know she would have won gold at the Olympics had you not frozen her?”

Mark looked Langley at Katie. Chronos..no he.. he had taken this away from her. But perhaps he could undo it.

“If you are thinking about unfreezing her, it won’t work. Once frozen outside if time, the target his frozen forever. No do-overs. Plus, I can control you.”

“So I don’t have a choice?”, Mark said dejected.

“Nope!” Chronos said almost chipper. “Think of it this way, you get an entire collection of women you can use any way you wish, I am am sustained for several more years. You even get to keep them, after I leave you, which will happen eventually.”

An entire collection of frozen women that he owned did sound nice, but something still bothered him. “But how will I ever get away it, and how do I know what one’s potentially is? And where would I store them?

“Oh I will help sure anyone you freeze disappearances are explained. I have already demonstrated this with Katie here with the car crash.”

“That was you?”

“Oh yes. Also in regards to your second question, everyone has potential. You will just have to make your best guess. Perhaps freeze yours schools entire cheerleading squad or the swim team, or even a celebrity or two if you see one, that’s almost guaranteed to get potential. Thirdly, you now have a storage unit all paid for, all taxes included so the IRS won’t be after us. Any other questions?”

Mark found it odd that a powerful being like this seemed scared of the IRS, but that was not the question he wanted to know the most. “Will I meet you again?”

“Perhaps, at least when I do leave you. It is now time for you to return, these three should sustain me until spring. Then it is time to freeze again.”

Chronos then waved his hand, and Mark found himself back in his room, with time stoped. Ashley, Nadia, and Katie all stood naked at attention in a line-up against the wall.

Mark picked up Katie by her waist so as to bring her back to his bed, he was starting to feel a little guilty about what he did. But what was done was done. In regards to others that will need to be frozen, he had some planing to do.
