Chapter 37 – The Arena Of The Heart
Eva grinned. She had been right! Chaos flew off to his beam. He started floating upwards. Eva slowed down and stopped and parked the Arrow.
She could feel the stares everyone was giving her as she walked towards her tied up friend. She could really feel Aikka's looks and Chaos's glares. She finally reached Rose at last.
'Hi Rose,' she smiled weakly.
Rose had a small grin.
'I didn't think you'd settle for what Chaos said. I knew you would be the one to say eventually I was alive. It's nice to see you Molly,' Rose sighed.
Eva took out her glass heart. Aikka had given it to her during the last race, but it had a sharp point. It was the only thing Eva had to use. She used the point and cut through Rose's ropes.
'Thanks,' Rose stood up.
She rubbed her arms and legs were the ropes had cut into her skin. She had a few cuts but otherwise, she was fine.
Jordan was nearby watching it all. He then suddenly felt a very dark presence very close to them. He gestured to Eva to hurry up. They didn't have much time left to get away.
'It looks like my partner wants us to leave. I guess he doesn't like soppy moments like this,' Eva rolled her eyes.
Rose giggled. She had missed Eva. She had been a lot better and kinder than Chaos and Kross ever were.
They started heading back. Jordan sighed with relief. He got into his turret.
Rose could really feel people staring at her. It was making her feel really uncomfortable. Eva felt the same way.
Chaos had turned the trident blue and was trying to get out of the beam. He was really mad Eva had foiled his plans. Now the Crogs would never live again! He shook with rage at the thought.
Eva and Rose were so close to the Arrow. Then Jordan felt a huge surge of the evil presence. It was so close…
Rose touched the Arrow. It was thrown off into the beam, taking Jordan up.
'Uh, I guess that way is out,' Eva said nervously.
Rose tried not to show how worried she was. Eva was getting scared. It was getting colder and colder.
'It's not the only way out though,' Rose summoned her board.
Eva stared at the thing. Rose got on it and raised an eyebrow at Eva.
'Do you want to get out of here or not?' she asked Eva.
Eva nodded and reluctantly got on the board. She got her balance and then nodded to Rose. Rose quickly moved the thing and they were getting further and further away from the Arena of the Heart when…
A cloud of smoke went around them. They coughed. Rose quickly got out of the cloud into the fresh air.
She gasped.
'Molly, we are…' she looked around.
Eva looked around. She gasped as well.
They were in the Arena of the Heart. They were both back where they had started a few minutes ago. They couldn't escape.
