Chapter 35 – The Crogs
Aikka moved G'dar back up. Eva was about to complain. She thought she could save Rose this way. But then she remembered she didn't know what Chaos was going to do to her.
Rose stood in the middle of the room. She summoned her flying board. It flew through the small window of her cell.
She quickly opened the secret compartment up. It had her bow and quiver in it.
'There you are,' she whispered.
She began fixing it up.
Meanwhile, above her, Chaos was talking.
'What if there is an escape attempt?' Kross asked.
Chaos laughed.
'Then I will have to use force. But I am sure the prisoner has nothing planned,' Chaos smirked.
Rose heard them. She smiled. Boy, how wrong they were.
She took a deep breath. She whispered a few words and her arrow tip went white. She fired her arrow.
There was an explosion. G'dar was thrown back. Aikka quickly moved G'dar back into place, but Chaos had heard G'dar and his screech.
'It appears we have intruders. I'll sort the cell. You sort out the invaders. It seems there was an escape attempt planned. However, I have a feeling only the prisoner knew about it,' Chaos walked into the cell.
Jordan cursed.
'They know! We've got to get out of here!' he muttered.
Eva shook her head.
'I know that prisoner. If we don't help now, then it could be to late tomorrow. We need to do it now!' she hissed.
Chaos grabbed Rose.
'Afraid of destiny?' he asked.
Rose kicked him. He didn't let go. She kicked him over and over.
'Still the silent treatment? You have a lot to learn,' Chaos said.
Eva stared at Jordan and Aikka urgently. Aikka sighed.
'No. We can't risk ourselves. If we lose someone here, then what about those plans down there?' he pointed to the Arena of the Heart.
Eva shook her head violently.
'The more I think about it, the more I worry my friend is about to be used for his evil plans!' she muttered angrily.
Rose heard her. She smiled weakly. Well, at least her friend had come to help her. That was better than nothing. But tomorrow was going to be a lot worse. She sighed sadly and looked at Chaos.
Kross came out.
'I should have guessed! It doesn't surprise me to see you lot out here!' Kross muttered angrily.
Aikka loaded his bow. Jordan and Eva didn't have anything with them.
Chaos looked at the girl. Rose was squirming her way out. He watched her pathetic attempts at freedom.
He grinned evilly at her.
'I hate you,' she whispered angrily.
Chaos didn't care. If giving her to Canaletto was going to save the Crogs, then he would do it. He carried Rose off. He had a plan.
Kross thought about what he should do next. Should he follow his leader? Chaos was getting more and more insane by the day. He quickly threw away his Crog sword and stared at the trio below.
Chaos walked out.
'It's ok. The deed has been done,' Chaos smirked.
'This means?' Kross asked.
'That everything has been done. It has all been done,' Chaos said.
Eva gasped. Aikka quickly flew G'dar away before the Crogs could do anything to them.
A tear ran down Eva's cheek.
'She's gone…'
